#182 - Chapter 182 Acting in full
The zombies, illuminated by the red lotus, turned a bloody crimson.
They came from all directions, rushing rapidly towards the lotus's location.
800 meters, 600 meters, 400 meters... …
Closer and closer.
Just as the zombies stepped within the 200-meter range, something strange happened.
As if there was some kind of magic spell at the 200-meter mark, any zombie that stepped into that range instantly vanished without a trace.
It was as if they were completely decomposed by those red rays of light.
Even though Wan Peng already knew what was happening, he couldn't help but be deeply shocked by the scene.
"Too strong! What exactly is buried in the ground? These zombies are like ashes that can be smoothed out at will in front of it."
This was Wan Peng's thought at that moment.
"This... this... this... truly a miracle! Under its illumination, all evil spirits have nowhere to hide!" The Holy Envoys watching from the side praised repeatedly.
In reality, this was just the nano-robots released by the micro-queen executing their decomposition task.
In the past few days, Wan Peng and the Protectors had been making noise every night to attract the surrounding zombies, all to help the queen decompose the zombies and obtain crystal cores.
The energy from the crystal cores could be used to create more nano-robots.
They were completely following Dongfang Chen's instructions; they didn't fully understand the queen or the nano-robots.
They only knew that the thing buried in the ground could decompose zombies and protect the stronghold's safety.
Although the 18 Infiltrators were already veterans of the base, it was the first time they had seen such a scene up close.
They knew that Dongfang Chen had the ability to eliminate zombies with a snap of his fingers, but only after seeing it firsthand did they realize how strange and powerful such an ability was.
"What's going on? Why did the zombies disappear?"
"That… that… that… is that really a red lotus?"
The Holy Envoys of the Red Robe Sect, who were secretly manipulating the zombies in the dark, felt that something was wrong.
They saw a red object floating in the distance, radiating a dazzling red glow.
Upon closer inspection, they realized it was a red lotus.
The red light emitted by the red lotus shone on the ground, and the zombies disappeared inexplicably.
This situation couldn't help but make people feel that the red lotus possessed supreme magic power.
They had no choice but to issue instructions to the zombies, telling them to stop outside the danger zone and not charge inward anymore.
It was now 21:10 in the evening, and there were still more than two hours before the start of the Redemption Ritual, so they could wait a little longer.
In the 40 minutes from 20:30 to now, a thick layer of crystal cores had already been scattered on the ground within a 200-meter radius centered on the red lotus.
"Play the audio," Wan Peng ordered.
Seeing that the zombies had stopped charging inward, Wan Peng understood that many Holy Envoys were watching from the periphery.
He had experience with this, because not long ago, he had also been one of them.
The Red Lotus aircraft began to play the pre-recorded audio.
"Heaven and earth are unfeeling, all things will perish.
Only our Red Lotus can redeem all living beings.
The Red Robe Sect steals our Red Lotus doctrines, acts perversely, and poisons living beings.
Its sins deserve death.
You, with your mortal eyes, are ignorant of the truth, and your sins are temporarily forgiven.
But do not be deluded and help the wicked, quickly come forward to worship, convert to the Red Lotus, to atone for your sins!"
The Holy Envoys watching from the sidelines couldn't help but feel a little guilty after seeing this scene.
Compared to the Red Lotus Sect's scene, the Red Robe Sect was indeed not even worthy of being dog shit.
This is what a Holy Sect should look like.
This is the strength that a Holy Sect should have.
This is the compassion that a Holy Sect should have.
They basically already believed that the Red Robe Sect had stolen the Red Lotus Sect's doctrines and created a counterfeit sect.
And they had unfortunately joined such a counterfeit sect.
"Acting mysterious!"
Suddenly someone shouted loudly, and then quickly flew towards the red lotus.
This person was none other than the young Holy Son.
"Action!" Wan Peng ordered.
The 18 Infiltrator Protectors had been waiting for a long time, and upon receiving the order, they flew out together.
"Clang clang clang~, bang bang bang~, crack crack crack~"
The 18 people attacked at the same time, each with different abilities and varied moves.
There was no way the Holy Son could withstand so many attacks alone, so he could only retreat in a panic.
The acting had to be complete.
These 18 Protectors were also wearing cloaks, but they were bright red, an even brighter red than the Holy Envoys' cloaks.
To avoid exposing their combat suits, they also wore masks on their faces.
The Holy Son retreated 200 meters before standing still.
At this time, he was still more than 400 meters away from the center of the red lotus.
"Who goes there? How dare you attempt to steal the Red Lotus Sect's magic artifact!" Qu Zhengping shouted.
Qu Zhengping's words clearly had the meaning of slander.
The other party only wanted to destroy it; where was there any intention to steal it?
But since they wanted to throw mud at the Red Robe Sect, they might as well go all the way and tell lies very naturally.
The Holy Son was also depressed at this time:
"Steal? Impossible! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"
The Holy Envoys watching from the periphery were obviously deceived by the scene in front of them.
