Chapter 4, Death Bombing! A Wave of Sudden Wealth!

Hiss—hiss—

Even if Cui Ze relied on the face of the goddess of luck, it was inconceivable that the new navy recruits would simply trust a living person who unexpectedly appeared on the zombie island.

Compared to Cui Ze's slow and inefficient manual zombie-clearing plan, the methods employed by the Navy recruits appear to be diverse, yet each is efficient and swift

Cui Ze finds this deal very advantageous

It has amplified its own presence in Kaido's eyes

With a turn, Cui Ze immediately dashed towards the direction of the No. 3 lair

Smoker and his companions, who were encircling the wild zombies several miles away, suddenly saw a brilliant light rising from the direction of the target town, followed by a deafening explosion that made the ground tremble slightly.

An E-level bait! And countless F-level baits! What does it mean to strike it rich in one go? This is what it means to strike it rich in one go!

If Kaido suddenly goes mad and is determined to deal with the group of new Navy recruits on the island, does Zephyr have the ability to completely stop him

He is currently faced with two choices

By that time, Cui Ze, who was close to the navy and had completely lost his freedom, would truly become a fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others

As previously mentioned

Those big fellows are still tirelessly roaring at the sky

Secondly, actively leave the town and venture into the wilderness.

Upon reaching this conclusion, Cui Ze was completely resolute in his confidence

Cui Ze was not aware of the conversation between Kaido and Zephyr in the sky. Looking up at the heavens, he could only see a familiar crimson flame once again piercing through the sky

Freedom, yet perilous

Cui Ze, who also felt the power of the gunpowder explosion, disregarded the trembling ground beneath his feet and immediately summoned the light curtain. Looking at the information prompts that flowed like water above, he was instantly overjoyed.

Cui Ze quickly climbed up the tall clock tower next to the central square and used a telescope to once again scout the activities of the new navy recruits, discovering that a few figures in blue and white uniforms had already entered the outskirts of the town.

However, the disadvantages are equally evident

Cui Ze muttered softly, then quickly ran down the bell tower. Upon reaching the ground, he immediately ignited the pre-prepared fuse and then recklessly charged towards the northern part of the town

According to Cui Ze's calculations, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this group of naval recruits should be able to completely clear the horde of zombies in the wilderness within half an hour, and then proceed into the town to continue their "sweeping operation"

His acute senses detected that the ominous aura emanating from behind him was steadily intensifying

to exchange "the false sense of security obtained by relying on the navy" for "reducing the sense of presence in Kaido's eyes"

Using the corner of his eye to quickly glance at the sky battlefield, Cui Ze fell into a momentary dilemma

First, remain in the town, waiting for the naval recruits.

I remember that on the day I first arrived, the central square, which was spacious and had good sound reception, was filled with densely packed zombies. Now, only three large ones remain, along with dozens of ordinary zombies... Even without my interference, it is estimated that within a day or two, all these monsters will likely perish in the aftermath of the battle between Zephyr and Kaido

During the three to four days spent in this small town, aside from killing zombies and avoiding the aftermath of the aerial battlefield, Cui Ze's most frequent task was to gather intelligence on the locations of all remaining firearms and ammunition within the town and transfer them to the nearest temporary stronghold

This is not merely because Cui Ze is unwilling to be subjected to the strict jurisdiction and control of the Navy

Moreover, entering the wilderness adventure holds a significant meaning for Cui Ze, which is the "Victory Bait"

Kaido

Thanks to the thunderous sounds of battle in the sky, Cui Ze's gunpowder transfer operation did not attract the attention of the tall mutated zombies lingering in the central square

Cui Ze enjoys creating significant waves

It is almost time

Time flowed slowly as Cui Ze exerted the explosive energy provided by the "Beast's Breath," charging forward like a frenzied wild boar.

By attaching himself to the navy recruits, Cui Ze obtained a semblance of safety and protection

With his gaze regaining its sharpness, Cui Ze looked towards the wilderness on the outskirts of the city and softly said: "Before we meet, let me present a resounding gift!"

In this sea ravaged by pirates, no orderly town can do without the necessary supplies, and it is absolutely essential to have gunpowder weapons to deal with the pirates

Even if he does not kill the general, Black Arm Zephyr's control over the aftermath of battle has certainly not reached the level where he can perfectly protect every new recruit in the Navy

If he doesn't run away soon, he will be buried with them

For all personnel except for Zephyr, Kaido's threat and even lethality far exceed that of the clawing zombies on the small island

In just about twenty minutes, Cui Ze transferred all the gunpowder he had gathered from the No. 3 lair over the past few days to the spacious square in the center of the town

Without a doubt

The plan to gather gunpowder is progressing very smoothly

But in reality

The advantages of the previous plan are evident, namely that it is sufficiently secure

It is entirely foreseeable that once Cui Ze chooses to stay, he will inevitably face a considerable period of "confinement" after being discovered by the naval recruits, during which all aspects of his activities will be subject to strict limitations

Impossible

Once the choice is made to affiliate with the navy, at least in the short term, Cui Ze will not be able to obtain even a single "bait" again

Immortal monsters! Take a bath in the cannonballs!

The more important reason is that he has realized what the true danger on this zombie island really is

Accompanied by the gentle sound of the burning fuse, a faint smell of gunpowder smoke permeated the air, as the fuse, sparking with embers, quickly approached the towering powder keg that resembled a small mountain.

The corner of Cui Ze's eye twitched slightly, and his little heart jumped into his throat, instantly preparing to take off running.

... ...

At the epicenter of the explosion, a deep pit with a radius of several dozen meters appeared, and the surrounding buildings were completely destroyed, leaving no bricks or tiles intact, with dust and smoke scattering in all directions

Even the fierce battle between Zephyr and Kaido in the sky was momentarily interrupted as they were drawn to the intense explosion suddenly emanating from the ground, frequently glancing towards the small town engulfed in flames.

Boom!!!

In the past three days, Cui Ze had never considered the idea of using gunpowder weapons

Cui Ze's mind began to race as he calculated rapidly; after a thorough consideration, he ultimately chose the second option

The zombies that had originally gathered in the square, the ordinary ones, had long been reduced to a pulp of flesh and blood by the incredibly violent shockwave of the explosion, and the few towering mutated zombies had also vanished from sight

The advantages and disadvantages of the second plan are equally clear

Because he had always planned to use all the gunpowder reserves in the town to send those troublesome "big zombies" to the sky before leaving the town

Only after witnessing that the scorching breath of the Azure Dragon did not explode like yesterday under the punch of the naval admiral, transforming into a cataclysmic meteor shower of flames, did the tense Cui Ze finally relax slightly

He redirected his gaze to the wilderness outside the town, where the group of naval recruits led by Smog was approaching the medieval town at a visibly rapid pace

Old Town, northern edge

Just as Cui Ze had just passed by a dilapidated building, the ignited fuse happened to make contact with the powder keg mound, and in an instant, a terrifying explosion of energy erupted.

First, a blindingly bright red and yellow light illuminated almost the entire sky of the small town

What erupted suddenly was a tremendous roar and the sound of explosions that resonated throughout the heavens and the earth

I hope that Teacher Kaido is doing well

Cui Ze once again extended sincere blessings to Teacher Kaido in the heavens

Anyone with a basic understanding of zombies knows that when it comes to killing these mindless creatures, firearms and gunpowder are far more effective and much safer than close combat with cold weapons
