Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Infected No. 5 Can Evolve!!
Some were picking up Creepers and starting to bombard the city walls.
And that Enderman with a pumpkin head kept teleporting, making it impossible to capture his position.
But everywhere he passed, the corpses of players were scattered.
Even with the naked eye, it was impossible to capture exactly how he slaughtered these players.
If it weren't for these Endermen, the Sword Rain Guild and this group of zombie players could still barely be evenly matched.
But with the addition of these Endermen, the defense of the Sword Rain Guild was easily dismantled.
After the city walls fell, the zombie players instantly surged into the Sword Rain Guild's base.
Even though they were facing a strong enemy, the players of the Sword Rain Guild showed no intention of giving up.
They were all fully armed, ready to fight to the death.
Inside the plaza of the Sword Rain Guild's base—
The zombie players were pressing in step by step.
Just as the great battle was about to break out, suddenly, a figure appeared in the center of the plaza, a figure that everyone was extremely familiar with.
When both sides saw this person's appearance, they were all stunned.
"HIM?!!!"
"Holy crap?! HIM?!!!!"
"Our King!! Our King has arrived!! Has he acknowledged us?!!!"
"Welcome, Our King!!!"
The battlefield, originally filled with gunpowder tension, instantly froze the moment HIM arrived.
Pengpeng and his group, upon seeing HIM descend, were beyond excited.
Ever since HIM started infecting players, the ranks of the zombie players had been growing stronger.
The zombie players also had their own circles.
Although they couldn't communicate in-game, they could communicate once they logged off.
These zombie players even set up a special forum for zombie players.
Players would post various strategies on the forum about getting stronger, growth point allocations, and similar content.
Pengpeng, being among the first batch of infected, had rich combat experience and frequently posted strategies on the forum to help everyone.
This led to Pengpeng and his group becoming known as the "Corpse King Army" among zombie players.
The zombie players had always looked up to Pengpeng and his group.
One had to know that, even when Pengpeng was a player, and later became a guild leader, he never received this kind of treatment.
Pengpeng and his group also knew very well that if not for HIM, they wouldn't have achieved what they had today.
It was HIM who granted them power, allowing them to strengthen themselves.
They undoubtedly worshiped HIM.
They also longed to become as powerful as HIM. Naturally, they were willing to follow HIM.
"Has Our King seen our battle achievements and come to recruit us?!!"
"Ah!! Are we going to fight alongside the Death Knights?!!"
"Boss! It looks like your wish is coming true!!"
"..."
Just as Pengpeng and his group were about to rush forward, the pumpkin-headed Enderman, Eddie, beat them to it.
Eddie was noticeably more excited than Pengpeng and his group.
With a single teleport, he arrived before HIM and then kneeled on one knee.
"Our King!!!"
"I finally see you again!!"
Eddie's voice trembled with excitement.
Seeing Eddie like this, Pengpeng and his group were a little surprised.
It was their first time seeing Eddie being so serious—he was usually always so sneaky.
What surprised them even more was that Eddie and HIM actually knew each other from before.
"Hiss… Lord Eddie is actually Our King's subordinate?!"
"What's so strange about that? Aren't all the monsters in this game world Our King's subordinates?"
"From the way Lord Eddie spoke, could he be that Enderman who appeared beside Our King during the first Grassland War?!!"
"Holy crap!! Now that you mention it, it really seems so!! That sneaky smile of his looks so familiar!!"
Pengpeng and his group's words also fell into Xu Yuan's ears.
Hearing how the players referred to the Enderman kneeling before him, Xu Yuan was also somewhat surprised.
Xu Yuan immediately recognized that the Enderman kneeling before him was the former No. 88 Enderman.
He had now evolved to advanced consciousness.
What surprised Xu Yuan was that his name was actually Eddie.
This name was exactly the same as that Enderman ranked twentieth in the Animal Association in Fan Village.
Moreover, that Enderman also always wore a pumpkin head.
This was clearly no longer a coincidence.
He just didn't know whether the Animal Association had been established yet.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan raised his hand slightly toward Eddie, signaling him to stand up.
Seeing this, Eddie slowly stood up.
At this moment, his eyes were already filled with tears—it was clear that after so long, seeing Xu Yuan again had deeply moved him. He seemed to have a lot he wanted to say to Xu Yuan.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan looked around at the current situation—it was obviously not a good time for a conversation.
Xu Yuan glanced at the leader of the zombie players and immediately recognized Pengpeng.
This made Xu Yuan a little surprised—he didn't expect Pengpeng to still be alive.
And judging by his appearance, he seemed to be living quite well.
As Xu Yuan was thinking, a system interface suddenly popped up in front of him.
[Infected No. 5 has provided 500,000 Faith Points!]
[Infected No. 5 can evolve!]
[Do you want to consume 5,000,000 Kill Points to evolve?!]
Seeing this system prompt, Xu Yuan was stunned.
'Infected evolution?!'
Xu Yuan had previously learned that players infected by him could increase their stats by killing players.
But what Xu Yuan didn't expect was that he could consume Kill Points to evolve an infected player.
However, the conditions for evolution were quite harsh.
The infected had to provide Xu Yuan with 500,000 Faith Points before they could evolve.
500,000 Faith Points was a lot.
This meant that much of the Faith Points Xu Yuan had received earlier were contributed by Pengpeng.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan pondered for a moment.
Pengpeng was an old acquaintance—he had known him since the Eternal Guild days.
It was also thanks to Pengpeng leaking the Eternal Guild's coordinates that Xu Yuan was able to find 007 so quickly.
Back when Pengpeng was still a player, he had helped Xu Yuan both openly and secretly multiple times.
Now that he had become a zombie player, he continued to provide value to Xu Yuan. And from the looks of it, he was developing well, meaning he could likely bring Xu Yuan even more value in the future.
With that thought, Xu Yuan decided to evolve Pengpeng and see what effect it would have.
After all, Kill Points were already an overflowing resource for Xu Yuan.
'Yes!'
[Infected No. 5 Evolution Successful!]
[Infected No. 5 Abilities: Speed +20%, Constitution +20%, Strength +20%]
[Infected No. 5 Advancement Lv1: Gains Infected Vision; inherits the infection ability of the host.]
[When Infected provides 1,000,000 Faith Points, can consume 10,000,000 Kill Points to upgrade!]
Seeing the evolution notification, Xu Yuan was momentarily stunned.
'Inherit the host's infection ability?!'
Xu Yuan hadn't expected that evolving an infected would allow them to gain his infection ability.
This meant that Xu Yuan now had an additional infection source.
Seeing these notifications, Pengpeng was momentarily confused.
Just then, the players around him let out exclamations.
"Holy crap?!! Boss!! Your eyes!! Your eyes!!!!"
"Ah!!!! It's Our King!!! Boss!!! Our King has acknowledged you for sure!!"
