I Bit Everyone and Became the Strongest Zombie Cultivator

"Yong Rui! What are you doing?!" Liu Zhi shouted towards me. Something in his expression was telling me that he was about to jump off and try to rescue me so I hurriedly gestured that I didn't need any saving.

As for Luo Zehn, he was already holding his unsheathed sword in front of him. Before he could jump, Liu Zhi and Blade stopped him and shook their heads.

The bedlam was so severe that the forest was trampled down in a hundred-mile radius. Left and right, Gripper and Ripper rabid humans relentlessly slashed and clashed at each other while I was left in the crossfire. It took all of my being and concentration to just get out of everyone's way while I tried to survive the hour time limit given to me by the system. After all, if I can't do it, then I would reap some sort of punishment worse than this one. And I for sure don't want that to happen again.

Meanwhile, the Ripper and Gripper leaders, who were Stage-7 High-Leveled, were constantly fighting each other alone. It was a battle between two apex predators that I couldn't even believe I was standing in their fray.

For some reason, Wu Yan was not surprised when she saw me disappear just like that. She probably thought that I had some sort of plan. While I was trying to survive an inch away from death, Wu Yan approached the group and started discussing something about them. They were all wearing shocked expressions as they constantly sent a glance towards my direction. It was obvious that they were talking about me, but as to what they were talking about, one could only wonder.

The only thing that drowned my ears were the constant shrieks and roars of the Ripper and Gripper rabid humans as they continued their battle.

Sonic booms resounded from the blows that the Stage-7 Gripper and Ripper Rabid Humans let out as they traded fists. It was like a fight between two people in the Dao Realm, except they don't fight like humans since they have no regard for defense nor tactics. Blood and flesh scattered all around while the prolonged fight was reaching its climax.

As for me, I just tried to dodge everything that came my way, and hopefully, one hour would pass quickly.

But I wasn't as fortunate.

One moment, I was dodging a claw that was about to grab my arm, the next moment, I was pinned by four Gripper Rabid Humans as they literally gripped my four appendages and shoved me to the ground.

It didn't even take a split second for the four Gripper Rabid Humans to do this. After all, they were considerably stronger than me because they were a Realm higher than me.

But if I use everything in my power, then they won't even hold a candle to me.

"AARGH!" As I shouted, I activated my Virus Qi Core and my Original Qi Core, sending the four Grippers away from me while hitting the other rabid humans on their way. I may not be in the Emperor Realm or in the King Realm, but I should be able to fight them with my current strength.

The only reason why I was saving up my strength was that I wanted to survive an hour. But from the state of the Stage-7 Gripper and Ripper rabid humans, the fight might end even quicker than that, so I decided to make my move.

When I scanned the area, multiple prompts appeared in my line of sight and I hastily agreed to them.

<Do you want to make this zombie your subordinate?>

<Yes/No>

<Do you want to make this zombie your subordinate?>

<Yes/No><

Do you want to make this zombie your subordinate?>

<Yes/No>

<.....>

After that, I summoned all of my subordinates, Ten Stage-2 High-Leveled, One Stage-1 High-Leveled, and Twenty Stage-3 High Leveled, totaling thirty-one rabid humans. Adding to that, I also turned exactly ten Stage-4 Ripper Rabid Humans and ten Stage-4 Gripper Rabid Humans to my subordinates. Together, the headcount was a whopping fifty-one!

It may very well be considered a fact that my army is the third horde fighting for territory.

But of course, with every advantage obtained, a disadvantage will arise. The moment my subordinates started pushing through the two enemy hordes, the leader of both hordes suddenly noticed my presence and they roared towards me. In that instant, they had a temporary truce.

I knew because both of them charged towards me.

And just like that, my entire plan fell into ruins.

I had barely enough time to intercept their attack by putting all my subordinates to a shield-like formation in front of me, completely blocking the two hordes that tried to overwhelm me. But because we were outnumbered, the two hordes easily seeped through my defenses, rendering them useless. I was at my wit's end, and seeing the two Stage-7's weren't helping with my ease at all!

Because of the severe damage my subordinates suffered, my Virus Qi Core started acting violently, making me flinch in pain as my heart momentarily stopped. There was a huge chance that my Virus Qi Core would run amok once again but I encapsulated it with my own Qi in the nick of time. Fortunately, I managed to bring its stability back, but my Original Qi Core was critically depleted, making me almost lose consciousness.

Seriously, it's one after another but there was no time to think about it. All I have to do was continue breathing and moving forward because if I didn't, then only sure death awaits.

Because of the difference in our levels, their charge was too fast for my eyes and I couldn't put up another meat shield, or rather, subordinates-shield in front of me. A claw mercilessly hurtled itself towards me as a large hand was about to grip me.

My life flashed before my eyes and before I knew it, my consciousness has drifted far off into the distance once again.
