Chapter 776 - 737: Eradicate the Roots
Just as everyone was trying to figure out how to eliminate the Western zombie, Zhao Rong charged forward. Holding a cross in his left hand and a hammer in his right, he swung them at the creature. "Go to hell, you Western zombie!" he yelled.
The Western zombie saw Zhao Rong coming and sneered. "Kid, have you been watching too many movies? Trying to defeat me with such crude weapons? You must be dreaming..."
But before the zombie could finish speaking, Zhao Rong drove the cross straight into his body. The moment the cross pierced his flesh, however, the zombie wasn’t killed. On the contrary, he grew even stronger, his body becoming far more robust and swelling to several times its previous size. He laughed maniacally. "Humans, you want to kill me? You’re still a little too green for that!"
Yet, before the zombie could finish his taunt, the cross embedded in his body suddenly exploded. The blast sent the Western zombie tumbling from the sky, and he collapsed to the ground.
When the three women and the assistant behind Zhao Rong saw him take down the formidable Western zombie with a simple cross, they erupted in cheers. "Zhao Rong, we won! We beat the Western zombie!"
Lili stepped forward and spat on the fallen zombie. "You disgusting creature! Weren’t you just saying how powerful you were? How could you be killed so easily by Zhao Rong?"
Yu Lan scoffed at the defeated creature. "Hey, zombie! Weren’t you so high and mighty and arrogant just now? How come you’re now beaten so badly you can’t even fight back?"
Xuelian even whipped the zombie on the ground twice. "Die already, you Western zombie! For a fool like you, getting killed by Zhao Rong is a piece of cake."
But before the women could finish, the Western zombie they thought defeated leaped back to his feet. He spun around on the spot and sneered, "Killing me isn’t that easy. Did you think planting a bomb in my body, letting it explode, and blasting a little hole was enough to kill me? You’ve underestimated me."
When the three women saw the zombie resurrect, they scrambled to hide behind Zhao Rong in terror. "Zhao Rong, what do we do?" one cried. "He’s back to life! He really is powerful..."
Lili added worriedly, "Zhao Rong, I think you should buy a newer, more effective weapon from the Paradise Shopping Cart! Otherwise, we’re no match for him at all!"
"Listen to me, Zhao Rong!" Yu Lan said anxiously. "Just buy an AK-47 from the Paradise Shopping Cart and spray him at close range! That’s the only way to destroy him for good and make sure he doesn’t get back up again."
Xuelian had her own idea. "No, Zhao Rong, listen to me and buy a mortar! We need to shell him. That’s the only way to wipe him out, root and branch."
However, before the three women could finish, Zhao Rong simply pointed at the Western zombie and smiled. "Ladies, if you think I just drove an ordinary cross into his body, you’re thinking too simply. My cross isn’t just a miniature bomb... it’s a type of nuclear weapon."
The three women were stunned speechless. "Zhao Rong, are you joking?" they stammered in disbelief. "If that’s a nuclear weapon, it won’t just kill the zombie when it goes off! It’ll kill the five of us and destroy everyone and everything for dozens of miles around!"
Listening to their concerns, Zhao Rong pulled out a remote control and pointed to its red button. "Lili, Yu Lan, Xuelian, don’t worry. This is a *controllable* nuclear weapon. Now, I’m going to press this red button, and you can watch this Western zombie turn into a mushroom cloud and vanish before your very eyes."
When the three women heard that the Western zombie would turn into a mushroom cloud, their eyes widened. They immediately took out their phones to start live-streaming. "Okay, Zhao Rong, press the red button!" they urged. "This is the only way our phones can get a clear shot of this new weapon’s explosion!"
Lili held up the latest Huawei Mate 20, carefully framing the scene. "Hurry up and press the red button, Zhao Rong! I’m going to shoot a short video and post it to Douyin, Tencent Weishi, Huoshan Video, and Xigua Video. I’m definitely going to go viral with this!"
Holding the latest Huawei P20, Yu Lan started recording. "Who even bothers with short videos anymore? Live-streaming is what’s popular! I’m live-streaming Zhao Rong taking out this zombie with a nuke so all my fans can cheer me on!"
Xuelian filmed the scene with her Xiaomi "Little King Kong." "I have to record this classic moment so it can be immortalized in the history books. This is the only way to truly showcase Zhao Rong’s greatness."
As the three women filmed, the nearby Western zombie sneered at Zhao Rong. "You moronic human. If you can actually kill me with a nuclear weapon, I’ll call you Grandpa and lick your shoes."
But before the zombie could finish his sentence, Zhao Rong pressed the red button.
In that instant, the arrogant, haughty Western zombie became a mushroom cloud that rose into the sky. The three women captured the entire, incredible scene on their phones and immediately uploaded it to the internet.
