I'm a zombie, what's the point of awakening the yellow-haired system?

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the camp's outer defense line was hit by a zombie that released lightning powers.

"These...these are the mutants captured by the Shadow Council!" Yue'er said tremblingly, recognizing several familiar faces among them.

The situation was critical, and ordinary attacks could not stop the zombies. Even if their limbs were broken, they would continue to move forward, as if they would never get tired.

"We must find the source of control!" Zhang Chen shouted, "These zombies must be controlled by something!"

At this moment, Yaer keenly discovered that behind the group of zombies, there was a figure in a black robe casting a spell.

The man held a dark red crystal in his hand, which was continuously supplying energy to the zombies.

"Over there!" Yaer pointed at the figure, "That person is using the crystal core to control the zombies!"

Just when the battle was at its most intense, Zhang Chen noticed a detail - the zombies all wore a special collar around their necks, flashing a faint green light.

He suddenly remembered something. Three months ago, he had seen a similar device in the secret base of the Shadow Council. The experimental records at that time mentioned: "Project code X-1379, biological neural signal controller, can control the actions of the dead..."

"Wait!" Zhang Chen's pupils suddenly contracted, "This is not an ordinary zombie experiment, this is that plan!"

He immediately rushed to Yaer: "I know who the man in black is - Qin Ming, the chief scientist of the Shadow Council. He was previously in charge of a top-secret experiment called the 'Eternal Life Project'."

"Eternal life plan?" Yaer was shocked.

"That's right." Zhang Chen gritted his teeth, "They want to create warriors who will never die. And these zombies are likely their first batch of test subjects!"

Suddenly, the collar of a zombie broke and it stopped moving immediately. Zhang Chen's eyes lit up: "I found a breakthrough!"

"Everyone listen up!" Zhang Chen shouted, "Concentrate your firepower on attacking the zombies' collars! That is their fatal weakness!"

But what was even more disturbing was that Zhang Chen found some abnormal rune marks on the dead zombies. He was very familiar with these runes because they were extremely similar to a certain power in his body...

"Could it be..." Zhang Chen's face changed drastically, "My ability is actually related to this plan?!"

At dawn, the camp was in a mess. The smell of decaying zombies still lingered among the broken walls, and several buildings had huge scorch marks. The medical area was filled with injured people, and the wailing was endless.

Zhang Chen stood in the ruins, his fists clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound.

The attack was so sudden and so precise that it was obviously a premeditated action.

"Brother Zhang Chen..." Xiaoyu came running over crying, "The reserve materials in the East District are all destroyed, and the medicine warehouse is also..."

Before he could finish his words, another heart-wrenching cry came from afar: "The patrol team was wiped out! Only Lao Liu returned!"

Yaer walked to Zhang Chen with a serious expression: "The goal of this attack is very clear - first use zombies to consume our combat power, and then accurately strike the important facilities in the camp. The enemy knows our deployment too well."

"not only that."

Zhang Chen's eyes were grim. "Did you notice? The zombies' attack route completely avoided the area I was guarding. They were deliberately trying to keep me stuck."

At this moment, a man in black came running over and handed over a secret report. Zhang Chen unfolded it and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Chapter 669 Are you the only ones who know how to control zombies?

The secret report clearly stated: "Operation codename 'Hunter', target - Zhang Chen's troops. Plan - first weaken their sphere of influence, isolate the target, and finally..." The rest of the content was blurred by blood.

"Someone is deliberately targeting me." Zhang Chen sneered, "They don't dare to deal with me directly, so they attack the people around me first."

Yaer thought thoughtfully: "Could it be related to the secret in your body?"

"Very likely." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Zhang Chen's eyes. "It seems that it is time to meet the mastermind behind the scenes."

Just then, a seriously injured patrol member was carried back.

He was dying, but he grabbed Zhang Chen's sleeve tightly: "My Lord, I saw... it was... it was the parliament..."

Before he could finish his words, a strange black arrow suddenly shot out from a distance and hit the patrolman in the throat!

"Protect Lord Zhang Chen!" Everyone was shocked.

Zhang Chen stood there, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.

He finally realized that this was not only a conspiracy against him, but also an elaborate trap.

And he has been pushed to the edge of the cliff.

At midnight, Yaer sat alone beside the ruins, fiddling with the fragments of the neck ring she had taken from the zombie. In the moonlight, the runes were faintly visible.

Suddenly, a familiar pattern caught her attention.

"Wait... this rune..." Yaer stood up suddenly and walked quickly to the data room. She remembered where she had seen something similar.

After searching for a long time, she finally found a torn notebook that she had searched out from Zhao Ming's room.

"Found it!" Ya'er pointed to a page in the notebook with trembling fingers. There were a few crooked rune sketches on it, and a few lines of scribbled words next to it:

"Project headquarters...72rd underground floor...Laboratory ..."

"So that's it!" Ya'er's eyes lit up, "Although Zhao Ming bit his tongue to commit suicide, he left this behind!"

Just as she was about to look for Zhang Chen, she saw a yellowed photo fall out of the notebook. The photo showed a group of researchers in white coats, and one of them looked very similar to Zhang Chen!

"This is... Zhang Chen's father?" Ya'er gasped, "He was a researcher at the Shadow Council?"

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door. Yaer quickly hid the photo and turned around to see that it was Yueer.

"Sister Yaer! It's bad! We just intercepted a secret report that the Shadow Council will launch a general attack in three days!"

Yaer showed a mysterious smile: "No, this is our chance. Tell Zhang Chen that I found a breakthrough..."

......

The surging energy turned Zhang Chen's eyes pure white, and golden runes lingered around him. The ground cracked under his pressure, and the air was filled with suffocating energy fluctuations.

“I see…” The man in the black mist laughed coldly, “Has it finally been activated? Perfect rune power!”

Yaer covered her injured shoulder and suddenly realized something: "Zhang Chen! Stop using your strength, this is a trap!"

But it was too late, the rune energy in Zhang Chen's body had completely lost control. The golden light shot up into the sky, forming a huge energy column.

"The plan was successful." The man in the black fog whispered, and then his whole body turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

On a distant hilltop, a group of people in black robes were watching all this, led by a stern-looking young man.

"Energy data collection completed." The researcher beside him reported, "The rune resonance has reached 98%, which has exceeded expectations."

"Very good." The young man nodded with satisfaction. "After ten years of planning, we have finally waited until this moment. With this data, we can complete the final rune matrix."

In the camp, Zhang Chen knelt on the ground in pain. He felt that the strength in his body was being madly drained away by something.

"No..." Yaer rushed towards Zhang Chen, but was blocked by an invisible energy wall.

Yue'er suddenly screamed, "Look up at the sky!"

I saw several huge rune formations appear in the night sky at some point, and they were madly absorbing the energy released by Zhang Chen.

“These rune formations…” Ya’er’s pupils shrank. “They have been set up long ago! They have been waiting for Zhang Chen’s energy to awaken!”

“Hahaha…” A smug laugh came from a distance, “As expected of you, you are the most perfect vessel. These ten years of training have not been in vain.”

Zhang Chen raised his head with difficulty, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that he was a chess piece carefully arranged by others from the beginning.

Now, it's time to break this situation...

At this moment, a crisp cracking sound suddenly came from Zhang Chen's body. His pupils suddenly contracted, and an unprecedented pain swept through his body.

"Oh no! His meridians are collapsing!" Yaer shouted anxiously.

The young man on the distant hilltop laughed: "Have we finally reached our limit? Open the second array and prepare to close the net!"

The rune formation in the sky suddenly changed, forming a huge vortex. Zhang Chen felt that his consciousness was being forcibly pulled away.

At this critical moment, Yaer suddenly took out the worn notebook and quickly turned to a certain page: "Zhang Chen! The runes in your body were not implanted by them at all, they... awakened on their own! They have been deceiving you!"

"What?!" The young man on the hilltop changed his expression, "Stop her!"

Ke Yaer had already started to recite the spell on the notebook. It was a secret code to unlock the seal. As she recited, the golden runes on Zhang Chen's body suddenly changed color and turned into a deep blue.

"No!" The young man was furious. "How is it possible? That traitor actually left the Unsealing Technique behind!"

Zhang Chen felt something inside him was broken. The memories that had been restrained for a long time came flooding back like a tide: it turned out that his power had never been the product of an experiment, but the awakening of the bloodline of the ancient rune family!

"Ya'er..." Zhang Chen gritted his teeth and stood up, "Help me find the center of the formation."

Yaer immediately understood what he meant and quickly observed the runes arranged in the sky: "In the east, under the brightest star!"

Without saying anything, Zhang Chen concentrated all his strength on one point. This time, it was no longer golden energy, but pure blue rune power!

"Break it for me!"

A beam of blue light shot up into the sky and accurately hit the center of the formation.

Cracks suddenly appeared in the entire rune formation, and finally collapsed!

"Impossible!" The young man's face turned pale, "Retreat!"

When the sky returned to calm, Zhang Chen showed a sneer on his face: "Now, it's our turn to fight back."

Under the moonlight, Zhang Chen stood at the highest point of the camp, holding the controller seized from the enemy. Yaer was analyzing the rune sequence in it.

"Interesting." Zhang Chen sneered, "Do they think they are the only ones who have the technology to control zombies?"

Yaer pointed at the runes on the controller: "These are actually the most basic corpse-controlling techniques. The real key lies in the user's rune affinity. And you..."

Chapter 670: Suffering the consequences

"That's right." A blue light flashed in Zhang Chen's eyes, "Since they want to play, let's play big."

Late at night, outside the Shadow Council's secret base.

"Report! Everything is normal at the border!" the patrol captain reported to the control room.

"Very good, stay alert and don't let Zhang Chen..."

Before he finished speaking, the alarm suddenly sounded throughout the base!

"what happened?"

"Report...Report! A large number of zombies appeared in the west...in the west!"

"What? Activate the defensive formation!"

However, when they turned on the surveillance footage, everyone gasped. They saw tens of thousands of zombies rushing towards the base, their movements no longer stiff, but strangely coordinated.

What’s even more terrifying is that the eyes of these zombies are all flashing with strange blue light!

"Impossible!" The head of the control room screamed, "Why would these zombies..."

"You seem surprised?" A cold voice suddenly sounded over the radio, "I just improved your technology a little bit."

"Zhang Chen!"

"Yes, thank you for the controller." Zhang Chen's voice was full of sarcasm, "But compared to your crude methods, I know better how to awaken the rune power in them."

As soon as the words fell, all the zombies roared to the sky at the same time. Blue runes burst out from their bodies, forming a terrifying energy field!

"You're crazy!" the supervisor shouted at the top of his lungs, "This will cause the zombies to get out of control!"

"Out of control?" Zhang Chen sneered, "No, they are very sober now."

"Tear!" The base's defensive runes shattered like paper under the impact of the zombie swarm.

"Oh my God..." Someone was horrified to find that these zombies were grouped in an orderly manner and launched an attack like a well-trained army!

Zhang Chen stood on the top of a mountain far away, watching all this. Beside him, Ya'er silently observed his expression.

"It's about to begin." Zhang Chen's eyes were cold, "Let them also have a taste of being bitten back by their own creations."

"Boom!" The gate of the base collapsed with a loud bang.

Countless blue-eyed zombies poured in like a tide, and the fortress carefully built by the Shadow Council was about to be torn apart by the monsters they had cultivated...

The fortress built of steel and concrete seemed so fragile at this moment. The blue-eyed zombies climbed the high walls. They were no longer mindless zombies, but well-trained special forces.

Screams were heard one after another in the base.

"Quick! Activate the defense line of area B!" a captain roared desperately.

However, what was horrifying was that the zombies actually knew how to avoid the traps set by the Shadow Council. They jumped or rolled, and their movements were incredibly agile.

In the laboratory, several researchers were frantically destroying data. Suddenly, a "clicking" sound came from the ventilation duct. A researcher looked up and met a dozen pairs of blue phosphorescent eyes at the ventilation vent.

"Oh my god! They use the plumbing system!"

There was a violent explosion in the armory, and flames shot into the sky.
