Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 537 - 492: Headshot Corpse King
Wu Hen was also puzzled.
This Corpse Tide was rolling forward, its destructive force far exceeding that of landslides and tsunamis. Who would have thought that there was actually a canteen inside!
A large number of red steel corpse people surged into the building. Inside, boiling hot Molten Liquid suddenly flowed out, all of which were high-temperature metal Condensed Liquid, also spilling out like magma from that bizarre building.
It was as if a cream factory had leaked, attracting the rats in the junk city. Those red corpse people began to lie on the ground, frantically licking the metal molten liquid. The scalding high-temperature metal liquid poured into their throats, flowed into their bodies, turning into their blood, and the metallic toxicity radiating from the blood dialyzed into their skin, turning their flesh and muscles as hard as metal!
Humans are iron, food is steel, Wu Hen never imagined that this saying would be so vividly embodied in these corpse people.
The scene was bizarre to the extreme, allowing Wu Hen to experience the unique style of the zombies of Otherworldly Dust, and he couldn't help but marvel at the strange wonders of otherworldly life.
"Dang!!!!"
The bell rang again, and Wu Hen's Hearing Divine Sense flew into the noisy "canteen", then locking onto an extremely bizarre corpse person.
This corpse person had a giant bell-shaped head and was shaking its own head.
Its body was formed of alien steel crystals, its limbs not particularly thick, but inside flowed extremely active radioactive blood. This blood stored energy comparable to a nuclear power station scale within its bones, muscles, and organs. However, this energy seemed impossible to completely control, intermittently "erupting", spewing out the radioactive molten liquid that flowed from the canteen, which was absorbed by the red corpse people it commanded as food and produced similar Mutations.
It was spreading radiation contamination, causing the range of the red Corpse Tide to grow ever larger.
The territory of this Corpse King was also expanding accordingly.
"This Corpse King could elevate the level of the entire Corpse Tide, if all the corpse people evolved with red steel flesh, the disaster level might rise another notch," Wu Hen couldn't help but lament.
It could be said, the entire Corpse Tide was constantly snowballing.
All sources of mutation and pollution, along with the cities, would be swallowed by the entire Corpse Tide and then merged into the Corpse Tide. The highly evolved Corpse Kings among them would utilize these radiative Wasteland materials to "feed" all corpse people, enhancing their combat capabilities.
The people on this land hunted these monsters everywhere, using their Mutant Condensed Liquid to evolve themselves, their weapons, and to advance technology.
Meanwhile, these mutated species were also like a massive sponge, absorbing substances from the Wasteland and constantly mutating, constantly evolving...
Just looking at the Corpse Tide that would not perish even over a hundred years, Wu Hen began to doubt whether humanity could truly defeat these Alien Species without the intervention of higher-dimensional life, especially since the human factions were so deceiving and severely divided.
"Shoot it, this thing might be scarier than the Corpse Queen," Wu Hen told Guo Hong.
Guo Hong nodded; he had already observed the scene of collective evolution through the telescope. The corpse people were evolving in a snowballing manner, and humanity's cutting-edge technology had even become their evolutionary nourishment. It was conceivable that if this Corpse King was not eradicated, in a few years, the entire thousand-mile Corpse Tide would evolve with Steel Armor Skin. By that time, this would become a thousand-mile scale Steel Corpse Tide. If human thermal weapons do not undergo an epic innovation, what awaits them is only extinction, becoming part of the future "Ten-Thousand-Mile Corpse Tide."
Guo Hong locked the direction.
But he soon discovered that the Corpse King was very vigilant. It had a small body and was also hidden among the steel corpse group. Guo Hong's corrosive bullets had to pass through hundreds of steel corpse people to hit it, rendering them almost completely ineffective.
"I need to get to a higher point, or draw away the steel corpse group," Guo Hong said.
"The vortex force is too strong; we can't reach the highest point," Wu Hen also started to feel the headache.

"There is a giant magnetic tower in our 7 o'clock direction. If we can activate it, it could draw the steel-flesh evolved corpse group in that direction, giving Guo Hong a sniping angle," Fei Yi suggested.
Fei Yi was quite knowledgeable; even though only the tip of the tower was visible in the midst of the Corpse Tide, he could tell at a glance what it was.
"How do we activate it?" Wu Hen asked.
"Just power it up. The giant magnetic tower only needs a high-power current to generate extremely powerful magnetism. It's a common equipment in most alchemy factories designed specifically to pick up metal objects in a large area, and it can even adjust the magnetic level to attract specific metals. I used to lead a magnetic tower scavenging team," Fei Yi explained.
In his youth, Fei Yi would drive such magnetic tower vehicles into the Wasteland. Once the surrounding area was secured, he would power up the magnetic tower vehicle and then metals from several miles around would be pulled out of the thick soil.
"This steel plant doesn't seem to be powered by electricity. Where do we find high-power current?" Lu Xian said.
"There is some. I am now a walking power plant!" Wu Hen laughed, having just dealt with a High-voltage Electric Corpse King. Powering up was simple for him; he just needed to stand atop the giant magnetic tower and release the high-pressure field, effectively powering up the entire tower.
"But crossing the Corpse Tide might be a bit difficult for you," Fei Yi remarked.
As soon as Fei Yi finished speaking, Wu Hen had already dashed out. His body, enveloped by rapid electricity, moved like Flash across the tops of the Corpse Tide.
The Steel Corpses were somewhat slow to react. Something swept over their heads and several seconds later, they all looked up in unison, but Wu Hen was already miles away.
"This guy of yours is really freakish," Fei Yi couldn't help but comment.
Lu Xian and Guo Hong just looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Taiya nodded vigorously, greatly recognizing Wu Hen's strength and harboring a sense of expectation that following him could lead to accomplishing something great.
Wu Hen soon reached the giant magnetic tower.
He climbed to the top of the slanted tower, and noticed that it was specially designed to activate magnetic attraction in only one specific direction.
Wu Hen slightly adjusted the direction of the giant magnetic tower, then stretched out his arm.
The Thunder Arm Guard instantly erupted with high-voltage potential, electric currents forming streams of purple dragons penetrating the entire tower. Soon, the tower lit up, and as metallic dust particles nearby formed dust rings in the shape of the magnetic field, it began producing an even greater magnetic force—like invisible chains locking onto the Steel Corpses, dragging them towards the tower!
A vivid swell occurred in the red Steel Corpse Tide, as if a sudden tidal wave had hit.
Steel corpse group initially just had their bodies skewed, but as Wu Hen increased the electric current, the power of the giant magnetic tower also intensified, causing the steel corpses to collectively slide backward.
"Clang!!!!!"
The Steel Melting Corpse King shook its head again, its strength powerful enough that such a level of magnetic force could not shake it.
It commanded the corpse group to return with the authority of a Corpse King.
The corpse group didn't obey the Corpse King; they began to step forward, continuing to close in towards the Corpse King's position, yet the powerful magnetic force still dragged them towards the giant magnetic tower.
Thus, a very spectacular and odd scene occurred, with tens of thousands of red steel corpses sliding back in the factory like a moonwalk, clearly stepping forward, but their bodies moving backward, all turned into Michael Jackson corpses.
Wu Hen couldn't help but laugh at the sight, not expecting to create such a world-famous painting in this otherworldly environment.
"Got an angle." Guo Hong's voice came through.
"Blast its head off." Wu Hen said.
"Bang!!!!!"
As soon as Wu Hen's words fell, Guo Hong pulled the trigger, firing a powerful corrosive armor-piercing bullet wrapped in strong corrosive power, which flew out from a gap tilting from the corpse tide and hit the Steel Melting Corpse King precisely!
"Clang!"
The Steel Melting Corpse King's head tilted backwards.
But it did not fall directly.
After bending backward to ninety degrees, it astonishingly held itself up with its body's strength, then straightened its head again, revealing a pair of radiant eyes filled with radioactive light from its bell-shaped head!
"It has locked onto me!" Guo Hong was startled in his heart.
What kind of monster could endure his bullets?
As a sniper, if he didn't shoot, then that was it. But once he did, it was lethal, even if the opponent was of a higher level than him. Finding the right sniping angle, he could still kill it.
"It can't move, keep going, if one shot doesn't work then fire another!" Wu Hen said.
At this moment, Wu Hen began to increase the electric field, and the giant magnetic tower started to overload, releasing magnetic force that even locked the Corpse King's body. The Corpse King, to avoid being pulled over, was also straining with all its might to resist.
"Click click!"
Guo Hong hesitated no more, quickly ejected the shell, and loaded a higher-grade corrosive armor-piercing bullet.
Just as Guo Hong was about to pull the trigger, his mind calmed down.
This Corpse King's head was special; landing another shot on its head wouldn't result in a kill.
Unless his second bullet could hit the exact same hole made by the first bullet.
This wouldrequire considerably precise skill... after all, the Corpse King wasn't standing completely still.
Taking a deep breath, Guo Hong still wanted to break through his limits. Relying solely on quality evolutionary materials provided by others only improved his physique, but in this world, what truly needed to evolve was the mindset of the strong!
He needed to be more focused.
He needed to be calmer.
He needed to be more confident...
"Despite being affected by the giant magnetic tower, he can still move so quickly; his own strength surpasses the magnetic field, making it hard for your bullet to lock on him, and you need to hit the first bullet hole to have a chance at killing it." Fei Yi spoke.
"I know." Guo Hong did not fire immediately, after all, the Corpse King also knew someone was sniping at him.
Guo Hong observed for a while, seemed to confirm something, and immediately said to Wu Hen: "Lord Wu Tian, maintain the current strength."
"Why?" Wu Hen was somewhat puzzled; by constantly increasing the electric current, he could further slow down the Corpse King's movements.
"My bullets will also be affected by the giant magnetic tower; I need to consider the magnetic force as wind speed parameters, even a slight deviation is not acceptable," Guo Hong said.
"Understood." Wu Hen nodded his head.
"Bang!!!!!" The next bullet roared out again, experiencing some angular deviation due to the magnetic pull during its flight.
However, Guo Hong had already accounted for this deviation when he fired the first bullet, so when the second bullet was fired, it took into account the predicted movements of the Corpse King and the deviation caused by the magnetic effect; the muzzle was not aimed directly at the Corpse King's head but slightly to the side...
"Clang!!!"
Despite the deviation, the bullet precisely hit again, perfectly striking the area corroded by the first bullet.
The second corrosive bullet penetrated directly into the Corpse King's skull, bursting with corrosive energy inside its special head.
The Steel Melting Corpse King finally fell in this second headshot blast!
