Apocalypse King System

Chapter 294: Demise of the Grizzly Military Region



Three days later, in the outskirts of Grizzly City.

Derick hovered in mid-air, standing on a lightning dragon that stretched tens of meters, resembling a celestial being.

Beside Derick was the perfectly beautiful young girl, Su Xian'er, who looked like a fairy.

"Xian'er, are you ready?" Derick turned his head, looking at the calm expression on the girl's face. Beneath the calm atmosphere, one could sense the fiery anger and hatred in her eyes.

Upon hearing Derick's words, Su Xian'er withdrew her gaze and nodded towards Derick.

Derick raised his hand directly, and the volume of the lightning dragon beneath his feet rapidly increased. Within a few seconds, it grew to a massive size, several hundred meters long and dozens of meters thick.

The ferocious lightning dragon shimmered with blue lightning, and its towering dragon horns, terrifying lightning claws, and sharp teeth all emitted a horrifying aura.

The lightning dragon raised its head and roared towards the sky.

The nearby ground seemed to tremble as if shaken by the dragon's momentum. What was once a ruin with crumbling walls now shattered into pieces, raising a large cloud of dust.

"Go..."

Derick released the power infused into his palm, and the lightning dragon swiftly flew towards the distance.

"Dad, your power is so strong, much more formidable than those sisters!" Su Xian'er's calm face revealed a hint of astonishment, evidently impressed by Derick's power.

"In comparison, how about Xian'er's power?" Derick smiled faintly. He knew well the strength of this little girl, Su Xian'er. Despite her harmless appearance, like a drifting fairy, according to what Lisa and Mu Ling had said, she could hold her own against Mu Ling. Although they hadn't fought much, and the outcome remained undecided, she was definitely not to be underestimated.

Keep in mind that Mu Ling's lightning ability had reached nearly level 7, making her strength second only to Derick among the Order members, highlighting the formidable power of Su Xian'er.

"I can't beat... I, I'm no match for Dad!"

Su Xian'er seriously pondered for a moment. Aside from the fact that she would never lay a hand on Derick, even if she did, it would be impossible to harm him. Just standing next to her dad, she instinctively felt the overwhelming pressure from the top predator.

This kind of aura, discernible only to Su Xian'er with animal-like keen intuition, made her shiver just by standing beside Derick. However, her love and fondness for her dad dispelled the instinctive fear that the zombie king would typically evoke in a predator.

"Moreover... I will never lay a hand on Dad, even if it means death, absolutely not!" The determined gaze in the girl's eyes even surprised Derick.

It seemed that Su Xian'er's loyalty and emotions toward Derick were even stronger than those of fanatical believers like Lisa. She was the type who would willingly sacrifice her life for him at any moment he uttered a word.

"Dad knows that Xian'er will definitely be Dad's best daughter!" Derick smiled faintly, stroking the girl's small head.

Su Xian'er obediently lowered her head. She didn't understand what it meant, but she allowed her dad to caress her.

"It seems like I need to let Xian'er interact more with other people. Otherwise, her feelings towards humans might remain somewhat rigid," Derick thought. In most cases, Su Xian'er acted like a regular zombie—extremely predictable in her movements and with an almost expressionless face. Apart from her appearance being highly similar to a human's, everything else about her seemed out of place.

However, this Su Xian'er, in her unique way, managed to touch the soft side of Derick's heart. He genuinely treated this semi-human zombie king girl as his beloved daughter.

While Derick and his obedient daughter were communicating, a roaring lightning dragon had already flown towards the distant Grizzly Military Region base.

Boom...

In the terrified gaze of many soldiers, a colossal lightning dragon flew directly towards them, smashing a gaping hole in the defense lines of the military region.

Behind the lightning dragon, the previously quiet hundreds of thousands of zombies surrounding the military region erupted into a full-blown riot.

Dadadada, Boom Boom Boom...

The sounds of gunfire and explosions echoed once again.

After several days of quiet, during which the zombies had refrained from launching an attack, the military region, which had been precarious, had managed to barely hold on. Unexpectedly, now under sudden assault, before they could react, the first defense line of the military region was shattered by the lightning dragon, and a large number of zombies surged through the breach.

Soon after, the second and third defense lines were successively shattered by the lightning dragon's direct impact. Bullets and explosives fired at the dragon were like drops in the ocean, and more soldiers were in a panicked scramble to escape.

Anyone witnessing such a terrifying scene couldn't help but feel a chill down their spine.

After smashing through the three defense lines of the military region, the lightning dragon had significantly reduced in size, now only a few dozen meters long. However, compared to the crowds on the ground, it still appeared as a colossal entity.

Then, as if locking onto the central command post of the military region, the lightning dragon plunged straight down.

A thunderous roar echoed, and the lightning dragon's body exploded, creating a crater several hundred meters deep in the center of the military region.

On the ground, lightning spread in all directions, paralyzing many soldiers who lay motionless on the ground, their bodies tingling from the electric shock, and everywhere were the scorched marks left by lightning strikes.

Derick and Su Xian'er had already landed on the ground, several kilometers away from the military region. Despite the considerable distance, it did not hinder their line of sight.

After seeing Derick's actions, Su Xian'er roared, her eyes bloodshot. With long, sharp claws extending from her pale fingers, she seemed to be venting the hatred in her heart.

The zombies within dozens of kilometers heard the vengeful roar of their king, and collectively became agitated, roaring wildly as they advanced towards a single target.

An overwhelming aura of death rose around Su Xian'er, with a visibly blood-red glow appearing in the air. In the area where Derick was present, the nearby gravity seemed to be affected.

Roar, roar, roar...

Numerous excited zombies roared, their eyes gleaming with blood-red, directly breaking through the military region's defense lines.

Even without Derick's attack, the defense lines of the military region were already on the verge of collapse, unable to withstand the next wave of zombie attacks. Now that the defense lines were breached, all hope seemed lost.

"Counterattack, give me a counterattack..."

On the ground, amidst the ruins, Liu Yuanbing screamed frantically.

If he hadn't come out to discuss matters with others just now, he might have been directly killed by the final attack of the lightning dragon. Even so, the military region suffered heavy losses, and Liu Jianye died directly.

Liu Yuanbing, whose father had died, fell into a state of rage, roaring madly at the soldiers nearby.

"General, retreat. The military region's defense lines have been breached, the losses are severe, and we can't hold on any longer. It's too late if we don't leave now!"

"Attack, damn it! Can't you hear me?"

Liu Yuanbing pulled out his pistol, pointing it at the soldier's head.

Just as the two were at a standoff, the few remaining fighter jets and helicopters within the military region quickly took off and flew out of the battlefield.

"Who is this..."

"Who ordered the planes to take off? Didn't I say to hold our ground? No one is allowed to be a coward and retreat!"

"General, it's your son, Colonel Liu Yuzhong!"

Liu Yuanbing spat out a mouthful of blood. His father sacrificed himself, and his son abandoned the soldiers, fleeing in the face of danger, utterly tarnishing his reputation.

"All the mistakes, a myriad of mistakes, are mine. I shouldn't have allowed human experimentation, leading to such bitter consequences. I apologize to the country, to the people, and most of all, to the sacrifices of the soldiers."

Liu Yuanbing knelt on the ground, speaking to himself in a murmur.

However, at this moment, he had no time for remorse. A large number of zombies had already surged forward. Despite the soldiers putting up a fierce resistance, they couldn't stop the zombie tide, retreating steadily. Many soldiers died directly before turning into zombies.

"General..."

Several soldiers nearby shouted, but he forced them back with his pistol.

"You go, quickly evacuate, hurry, only when I die will you be safe..."

Liu Yuanbing's gaze was resolute, without hesitation. He rushed towards the oncoming horde of zombies, completely engulfed by the tide without creating the slightest ripple.

The Grizzly Military Region was completely annihilated...
