Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive
Chapter 679: A Trap for CultivatorsOnly then did it seem to understand what she intended.
"Stop."
Chu Miao disappeared.
She emerged on the hotel roof directly behind it.
The zombie reacted quickly.
Its claws extended as it turned and swiped at her neck.
Chu Miao leaned back, allowing the claws to pass a few centimeters above her face.
At the same time, she formed a spiritual blade around her hand and struck its chest.
The zombie flew from the roof.
It crashed through the windows of the building opposite the hotel and disappeared inside.
Chu Miao looked toward the hole it had created.
"You told us to leave. Now you can leave."
A roar answered her from inside the building.
It seemed the zombie did not appreciate her generosity.
Ye Xuan landed on the hotel roof.
The bloated level-nine zombie jumped after him, its claws gripping the side of the building as it climbed.
Several other high-level zombies followed.
"I thought you were handling them," Chu Miao said.
"I am."
"They’re coming up."
"I noticed."
Ye Xuan stamped his foot.
Ice covered the side of the hotel.
The zombies climbing the building froze in place.
The bloated zombie struggled, causing cracks to spread across the ice, but it could not free itself immediately.
"You have a few minutes," Ye Xuan said.
"That’s enough."
Chu Miao sent the array flags in different directions.
They entered the corners of the roof and formed the foundation of a new protective array.
This location was not as ideal as the public square, but it had one advantage.
It was higher.
Once the tribulation clouds gathered, every zombie in the city would have a clear view of her.
If the stronger ones wanted to interrupt her, they would need to approach the hotel.
That would place them directly beneath the tribulation clouds.
Chu Miao finished placing the protection array before turning her attention to the outer seal.
She raised both hands and formed a series of seals.
The hundreds of flags hidden around central City K began to glow.
Lines of spiritual energy traveled between them.
They passed through buildings, roads, and underground tunnels, connecting one flag to another.
The intelligent zombies on the surrounding rooftops sensed the change.
Several turned and ran.
Others released warning roars.
The lower-level zombies stopped trying to enter the square and began retreating into the buildings.
"So they know how to run," Ye Xuan commented.
He released his Divine Transformation pressure.
The zombies closest to the hotel collapsed under it.
The high-level ones slowed, but the intelligent commanders continued moving toward the edges of the city.
Chu Miao completed the final hand seal.
"Seal."
A transparent barrier rose around central City K.
It stretched from the ground to the sky before curving inward and closing like a giant bowl turned upside down.
The intelligent zombies struck it from inside.
One used a fire ability.
Another released sharp metal spikes.
The barrier trembled but did not break.
Chu Miao checked the array through her divine sense.
Several underground tunnels extended beyond the sealed region.
She changed her hand seal.
The array lines sank deeper into the ground and closed those passages as well.
Zombies attempting to escape through the tunnels found their paths blocked.
They turned back, colliding with the hordes behind them.
Within moments, the underground routes fell into chaos.
"Done," Chu Miao said.
Ye Xuan looked across the city.
"How many did you trap?"
"More than fifteen million."
"What about the rest?"
"They are farther from the city center. If the tribulation is strong enough, the heavenly dao may still include them."
"And if it doesn’t?"
"We can deal with them afterward."
A loud crack came from the side of the hotel.
The bloated zombie finally broke free from the ice.
It leaped toward the roof with its mouth open.
Ye Xuan did not even turn around.
A thick bolt of lightning struck it in midair and sent it crashing back into the square.
This time, half its body was gone.
It still tried to move.
"The vitality of level-nine zombies is becoming troublesome," he said.
"Destroy its crystal core."
"I’m trying not to waste a level-nine crystal core."
Chu Miao looked at him.
"So you’re being economical?"
"My wife collects resources wherever she goes. I have learned from her."
"Don’t blame me for your greed."
Ye Xuan smiled and used lightning to restrain the zombie instead of killing it.
The high-level zombies below were gathering around the hotel.
They did not attack immediately.
The intelligent commanders were still trying to break the sealing array.
After several attempts failed, the speaking zombie emerged from the building it had crashed into.
One side of its chest was sunken, but the injury was already healing.
It looked up at Chu Miao.
"Release... city."
"No."
"Release!"
"No."
The zombie seemed unprepared for such a simple refusal.
Its face twisted.
"All... die."
"Not all," Chu Miao replied. "The humans will be fine."
The zombie roared.
The high-level zombies surrounding the hotel began climbing.
Ye Xuan moved to the edge of the roof.
"Focus on your breakthrough. Leave them to me."
Chu Miao nodded.
She walked to the center of the protective array and sat down cross-legged.
The suppression barrier inside her dantian was already covered in cracks.
She no longer tried to repair it.
Instead, she took out several bottles of pills and placed them beside her.
Spirit stones filled the grooves of the protective array.
The moment the last spirit stone settled into place, the array lit up.
Ye Xuan glanced back.
"Ready?"
"Yes."
"Then go ahead."
Chu Miao closed her eyes.
She released the first layer of suppression.
Her aura surged.
The zombies climbing the building paused.
The intelligent commanders looked toward the sky.
There were still no clouds, but the air had changed.
The spiritual energy within hundreds of kilometers began flowing toward the hotel.
The zombies sensed danger.
Their instincts screamed at them to flee, but the city had already been sealed.
The speaking zombie turned toward the barrier and attacked it with all its strength.
It was too late.
Chu Miao released the second layer of suppression.
CRACK!
The final barrier around her cultivation shattered.
A terrifying pressure spread from the hotel and swept across City K.
The clear sky darkened.
Black clouds began gathering above the city.
Ye Xuan looked up, then at the millions of zombies trapped below.
"My wife is indeed capable," he muttered.
She had not only chosen her battlefield.
She had made sure the enemy could not leave it.
