Chapter 29 29: Arrival Of The Army
Yoze blinked as the giant mutated zombie that he now knew was the baby's mother charged at him. The Mother Zombie reached Yoze with a single step and threw a powerful punch.
Yoze mindlessly dodged the mother zombie punch but felt a sting from the mere wind following her punch. The Mother Zombie seemed to have become more furious at the fact that Yoze dodged her punch and used another arm to send a flurry of punches at Yoze.
Yoze was able to dodge the mother's powerful attacks but was having trouble finding a way to counter attack and constantly had to dodge and run away. He might have been safe for now but the mother still had another set of arms she could be using if she didn't focus on protecting her baby.
Even with this disadvantage, Yoze was in a difficult position and felt suffocated as he was completely restricted. If it wasn't for the fact he could dodge the mother's strikes he would have been severely harmed.
"I can't keep this up forever, I need to counterattack!" Feeling frustrated, Yoze gritted his teeth and decided to risk breaking his arm to counter attack.
Yoze stopped dodging the Mother Zombie's strikes and threw a Blood Bear Fist directly at the mother Zombie's punch. The collision between the two Fists created a loud sonic boom that sent dust flying in the air.
This collision briefly caused the mother zombie to pause her attacks and Yoze made sure to take advantage of it. He took advantage to start his Twin Blood Fists combo and within seconds he had thrown nearly 100 Blood Koi Fists reaching the maximum of 100 percent usage of his potential.
The act of using Mindless Blood Legs at full capacity and Twin Blood Fists caused Yoze's body to become a dark red hue as his sweat evaporated nearly instantly. Each of his punches caused sonic booms that rocked the mother zombie.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!
It wasn't enough to defeat the mother zombie, Yoze was only able to suppress and push back the Mother Zombie for now but if he slipped up the mother would launch a ferocious counterattack.
Suddenly as Yoze was gaining an upper hand he heard a slight rumble coming from the distance and he couldn't help but look to see a massive heat wave rushing for the Emerald Town.
"The military has arrived!" Yoze almost wanted to breathe out a sigh of relief from seeing the military.
The air that was in turmoil from the ridiculous amount of heat that each soldier released unconsciously and their large concentration created a natural disaster that would have set world record temperatures. The army itself was creating a massive mirage just simply from their mere presences.
"Okay, I can disengage with you now."
Knowing that the military was coming soon, Yoze didn't want to keep fighting with the mother zombie any longer lest it became more of a problem. However in his attempt to disengage with the mother zombie, Yoze created a hole in his defense which the mother zombie took advantage of by launching a terrifying uppercut straight to Yoze's chest.
"Boom!"
The terrifying force of the punch sent Yoze flying in the air only stopping after crashing through several buildings.
Back at Jade's city Blazing army, Leah and Yoze's father were being accompanied by several generals that wore red iron armor and each had a sharpness in their gazes that can cut diamonds. One of the generals looked at the young man covered in bandages and smelled of medicine.
That young man was Jackie and after hearing that Yoze, his greatest goal to beat being trapped inside Emerald Town overrun with the undead. He couldn't lie down and used his father's connections with the army to go along with them. That General used to be a guard trained in the Martial Court Yard before transferring to the military.
Even though the General had a much higher status to the director of the Martial Court Yard. He appreciated his time there and accepted the director's request as a way to pay off the debt he had with the Martial Court Yard.
At this moment the Blazing Army generals and Jackie were looking at the slip of paper that Yoze had given to Leah. Back then when Leah ran back to the carriage he had alerted the carriage driver. Seeing the goat that Yoze dragged along everywhere running back in a panic of fear without Yoze signaled that something was deeply wrong with Emerald Town.
The carriage driver wanted to immediately rush back to Jade City and didn't care to take Leah along since he didn't want to take the chance that Leah brought along whatever caused Emerald Town's abnormalities. But Yoze's father stopped the carriage driver since he noticed a piece of paper tied around Leah's neck.
He went over to take the piece of paper and read it before putting the paper down with a pale face. On the paper Yoze wrote what he discovered when he arrived at the town and the undeads he faced.
He also told his father to go back to town and head straight to the City Center building and report that Emerald Town was completely destroyed and overrun by undead. They needed to send in the military to contain the town as he feared that whatever caused this was spreading and heading towards Jade City.
Lastly, Yoze told his father not to worry about him since he was safe and sound. He chose to stay in the town to prevent attracting the undead's attention and getting this letter passed on.
After receiving the letter, they rushed back to Jade City and reported everything that Yoze wrote down. The city immediately sent out an order to lock down the entire city and to block anyone from entering or leaving.
The city government didn't fully trust Yoze's claim that what caused the destruction of Emerald Town was able to spread; they still accepted it without much resistance.
One of the reasons for the city's acceptance of Yoze's claim about the spread of this destructive force is due to the fact that Yoze was previously one of the city's scholars no matter how low his position was, his words had some trustworthiness. It was also simply due to fear and caution that they immediately took harsh actions to prevent any possible spread.
The city also readied up their most elite army, The Blazing Army, to surround and destroy every undead inside Emerald Town. It had taken several days for the army's preparation to be completed and to arrive at Emerald Town but now that they arrived they were preparing to surround the town before storming in with the wrath of a God.
