Chapter 87 The Battle Begins—Chen Yi’s Solo Strike Against the Main Commander

“Awesome, my brother has evolved!”
Chen Yaxi clapped her hands in excitement as she watched her brother before her eyes.
Chu Yunxi’s earlier worries vanished in an instant; at this moment, everyone’s gaze was fixed upon Chen Yi, who was still undergoing a continuous transformation.
Chen Yi’s abilities were not merely rising; his speed was astonishing. In just a blink, he had wiped out a swath of red zombies.
And this was only the beginning. Each scythe that grew from his body emitted a peculiar light, tinged with poison.
Such deadly, toxin-laced scythes were not something ordinary powers could create. Clearly, in this apocalypse, Chen Yi’s evolution was the most profound.
Chu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief—luckily, the group’s abilities were overwhelming their opponents. Otherwise, who could know what might happen next?
General K finally realized that there was no benefit in confronting them, so he quickly led the others to retreat. After all, no one wanted to fight a monster that had just emerged.
Once Chen Yi felt his power had fully absorbed, he attempted to use his purification ability to draw the lingering zombie virus out of the great Kunpeng’s body.
Sure enough, the furious eyes of the giant Kunpeng turned azure blue once more.
This act shocked General K, who was monitoring everything via radio, even further. He understood now that Chen Yi was the key figure to ending this disaster.
Through his blood, perhaps a crucial method for combating the zombie virus could be found.
Immediately, he reported this to his superiors.
At that moment, Chen Yi had no idea he was being watched. He gently touched the great Kunpeng’s head, and the massive beast submitted at his feet.
The zombies, seeing Chen Yi’s immense power, grew fearful, slowly sinking into the water to hide.
At last, it was over—for now.
Chen Yi let out a sigh of relief, slowly descending from the air.
Seeing the incredulous looks on everyone’s faces, he waved his hand.
“Don’t worry about it. This is just a transitional form; just know that I’m still human.”
“I know you’re human, brother! Zombies don’t talk. Besides, with a handsome zombie like you, I wouldn’t mind being bitten!”
Hearing Yaxi’s words warmed Chen Yi’s heart. The little girl was not only adorable, but her words were so pleasing.
“You must be extra careful from now on.”
Unlike the others’ joy, Chu Yunxi’s concern was greater.

“Those with exceptional abilities will inevitably become targets in the apocalypse. You know this without me saying.”
“Yes.”
Chen Yi shared the same helplessness.
But in the special situation just now, if he hadn’t unleashed his full strength, he would not have been able to save those around him. Everything would have been thrown into chaos, which he could not bear.
So, at this moment, Chen Yi’s gaze grew resolute.
“Wife, I must make the clearest move. To protect everyone, I need to absorb more crystal cores.”
“Is there any way we can share our powers with you?”
Hu Sanhan’s words startled Chen Yi.
“If your powers can be shared, that would be wonderful. But everyone’s abilities differ, and each has its place. Don’t risk dividing your energy among me.”
Lu Kai pondered, stroking his chin.
“Then we’ll just have to keep killing zombies. Boss, do you know where these zombies really come from?”
Chen Yi shook his head. Though he had died once and experienced zombie mutation, he still didn’t know why humanity had been struck by such upheaval. But he was certain the zombie storm was tied to some kind of biological experiment.
In the crisis brought by these experiments, many became victims. Most sufferers didn’t even know why. So, in this moment, he looked seriously at those around him, despite his frustration.
“No matter who orchestrated this risk, I won’t let them continue. Rest assured, I’ll pay any price to fight them to the end.”
“Brother, how could we not trust you?”
Yaxi pouted and smiled at Chen Yi.
“Now, little Kunpeng and big Kunpeng should be with us, right?”
“Of course.”
Chen Yi nodded.
“They have nowhere else to go now. They’ll stay with us, especially with zombies lurking beneath the sea. If they’re left alone, they could be attacked by swarms—it would be trouble.”
“But they can’t leave the water. How can we keep them with us?”
Yaxi scratched her head in frustration, clearly unhappy.
Chen Yi reached out and gently patted the little girl’s head, his voice tender.
“Don’t worry. We can build an aquarium-like place for the Kunpengs. First, we need to find large, transparent glass to use as insulation, dividing the sea to protect them.”
Lu Kai and Hu Sanhan exchanged glances.
“Such huge insulated glass isn’t easy to find.”

Chen Yi nodded.
“That’s why I’m planning to research whether other islands have materials that can replace the insulation. If so, we’ll use those to fill the central waters and block enemies. That’ll solve the problem.”
Chu Yunxi had another idea.
“Actually, it might not need to be so complicated.”
Everyone immediately looked at her.
“Do you have a better solution?”
“I do.”
Chu Yunxi smiled.
“The Kunpeng’s strength is enough to support our island. We can have it lift the whole island and dive with us into the deep sea. As long as it’s in water, whether inside or outside, survival won’t be affected.”
“That’s a great idea!”
Yaxi’s eyes sparkled.
“Sister, you’re amazing!”
Chen Yi was impressed, and prepared to have the elder translate the great Kunpeng’s voice.
At that moment, the giant Kunpeng nodded at Chen Yi, seeming to understand their intentions.
It dove back into the sea, and everyone readied themselves for the move.
When the island began to shake violently and the Kunpeng roared, the island was lifted smoothly.
Everyone was instantly exhilarated.
Next, they could follow the Kunpeng’s route and seek more resources.
Chen Yi smiled gently. “Everyone, prepare for our new journey!”
