Chapter 2329 The Monsters Are Back
“Of course! He’s my husband, so I know the extent of his capability. He’s slightly stronger than the man he was three years ago, but that only means he’s ranked around six thousandths on the Provisional Leaderboard!” Zoey uttered.
Before Mace could reveal that Levi had killed the bodies lying haphazardly on the ground, Zoey pleaded, “Please!”
“All right, then.” Mace caved in, for he was in a hurry to inform Levi about what they had encountered earlier.
When Zoey headed back, she noticed how relaxed Levi was. Clearly, the previous fight hadn’t force him into a corner.
It was all Mace’s fault!
“Come on, everyone. Let’s go our separate ways!” she declared.
“Ms. Lopez, I have to talk to Mr. Garrison. I shall leave after that!”
After Zoey and the rest left, Mace inched nearer to Levi and reported, “Mr. Garrison, we met the mutated zombies…”
“I was right! But the mutated zombies must be under Maya Industries’ control, right?” he asked.
Mace answered, “I’m not sure, but the mutated zombies were wearing armors and helmets. If we didn’t know about their existence beforehand, we wouldn’t have noticed them!”
The others chimed in, “We are sure that the mutated zombies are strong compared to the ones we met earlier. There’s a possibility that they were controlled!”
Levi glanced at them briefly.
From their tattered clothes and wounds, it was obvious they had taken the brunt of the attack earlier.
“Looks like Maya Industries is using the mutated zombies in this tournament challenge! They put armors on the zombies so others won’t find out about their real identity!” Levi mused, caressing his jaw.
There must be something else to this!
He inquired, “Perhaps the armors are meant to control them?”
“Oh, that might be possible!” Mace nodded profusely.
“All right. We should move on! If there are any updates, contact me using the communication device instead of coming to me!” Levi ordered.
With that, Mace and the other fighters made to leave.
Levi continued on his journey alone.
He contacted Sammy, Death Fiend, and the rest outside to get updates while he searched for the mutated zombies.
After some time, Azure Dragon who was one hundred miles away from Levi suddenly blanched.
A few mutated zombies clad in armors had appeared before him!
At the sight of Azure Dragon, the zombies dashed toward him without hesitation.
“Is this my challenge?” Azure Dragon faced them head-on excitedly.
A few minutes later, he was already retreating, wounds all over his body.
The mutated zombies were too strong for him to kill.
Besides, he was facing a few of them at once.
He nearly lost his life back there.
Kirin and the others arrived in time to join in the fight.
Once they joined in, they immediately realized how strong the armored fighters were.
Though they were Divine Leaderboard fighters, they were no match for the armored fighters.
“W-What is going on?”
The number of mutated zombies kept increasing, till there were hundreds of them.
And the numbers only continued to grow.
Though Kirin and the others had gathered, and they were Divine Leaderboard fighters, but they suffered badly and got injured.
All fighters that entered the area encountered the armored fighters.
Levi’s speculation had been right all along, for the challenge this time was to defeat the mutated zombies!
In no time, many of the fighters were either injured or dead.
Even the Divine Leaderboard fighters were wounded, let alone the Provisional Leaderboard fighters.
They were meant to be cannon fodders!
Shortly after, Floyd, Sword Fiend, Zoey, and the rest ran into the mutated zombies.
