Good heavens, even a Tang saber couldn't cut through it!
Zhang Chen thought about it... it made sense. Tang sabers were merely ordinary early-game weapons.
After all, the energy armor was powered by energy core crystals.
Compared to energy equipment, the Tang saber was indeed inferior!
If it weren't for its never-dulling attribute, it would have shattered into pieces just from that one strike!
At this moment, beside several Wailing Ones, indicators showing their organizational destruction levels appeared.
These creatures, like the Goliaths, required over 30% organizational damage to be eliminated completely!
The two Wailing Ones initially hit by Zhang Chen's [Core Resonance] suffered 7% and 9% damage respectively.
The prompt boxes next to them displayed:
[Kill remaining 23%!]
[Kill remaining 21%!]
The Wailing One that Zhang Chen sent flying with a single strike had only sustained minor abrasions.
[Kill remaining 30%!]
Wooo!
Suddenly, a Wailing One standing on a rooftop let out a piercing scream.
The sharp, ear-piercing sound caused the glass on an entire street to tremble incessantly.
Bottles in some rooms resonated with the frequency of the sound and instantly exploded!
Following that, the eyes of the surrounding ordinary zombies immediately turned blood red.
They madly surged towards Zhang Chen!
This was that enhancement skill?
A pity that reinforcing a bunch of trash zombies was useless!
Zhang Chen snorted and activated [Core Resonance] again!
Bang!
The hundred or so reinforced ordinary zombies surrounding him still couldn't withstand this powerful blow.
They instantly turned to ashes and vanished.
Leaving behind a vacuum zone with a radius of five meters around Zhang Chen.
Wuwuwu~
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Three Wailing Ones attacked Zhang Chen simultaneously.
At the same time, the three Wailing Ones previously repelled, along with the Wailing One on the rooftop, all joined the fray.
The situation immediately became a one-versus-seven battle.
The surrounding ordinary zombies could be disregarded; they posed no threat to Zhang Chen to begin with!
Wuwuwu!
Shua!
Two Wailing Ones attacked Zhang Chen head-on.
Their movements were so fast!
But... they didn't seem *that* fast!
These dazzling attacks.
Now, in Zhang Chen's eyes, they were perfectly clear.
He could even predict the Wailing Ones' attacks in advance!
Is that all?
Zhang Chen kicked two Wailing Ones away and slammed another into a nearby building.
He spun around and delivered a powerful front kick to the Wailing One's chest, sending it flying into the air with immense force!
[Caused 2% organizational damage, kill remaining 28%!]
The prompt next to it immediately changed.
Hiss... Am I already this strong?!
A full-power front kick could actually cause organizational damage to a Wailing One?
Three Wailing Ones remained.
Zhang Chen leaped up and, as he descended, stomped on a Wailing One that was attempting to attack his lower body.
Then, he placed his hands on the heads of the other two Wailing Ones...
[Concentrated Strike]!
Zhang Chen had prepared himself for the outcome of his right hand being useful while his left was awkward!
After all, since the start of the battle, he had only unleashed [Concentrated Strike] with his right hand.
He had never activated it with both hands simultaneously.
Zzz... Bang!
Puchi!
The heads of the two Wailing Ones were scorched, and the immense impact force sent them flying.
[Caused 12% organizational damage, kill remaining 18%!]
[Caused 12% organizational damage, kill remaining 9%!]
Truly sturdy!
Even before his upgrade, Zhang Chen's [Concentrated Strike] could easily slice through a Crawler's body.
Now, at zero distance, it had merely scorched the head of a Wailing One!
But fortunately...
The Wailing Ones were significantly smaller than the Goliaths.
Thus, this 30% organizational damage was relatively easier to achieve.
If it were such a massive creature, the same output would probably only inflict around 5% organizational damage...
After all, organizational damage is inversely proportional to body size.
Wuwuwu! Wu'ao~
The remaining few Wailing Ones stood up and suddenly cried out to the sky simultaneously.
At the same time.
Not only the Wailing Ones on this street responded, but Zhang Chen could also faintly hear responses from other Wailing Ones in the distance.
Zhang Chen recalled the prompts describing these creatures as capable of attracting surrounding zombies.
But these Wailing Ones were now resonating with the Wailing Ones throughout the entire zombie horde.
Was this a move to draw all the zombies in the horde to deal with him?
Hiss...
A genuine monster-spawning artifact!
Zhang Chen suddenly thought that if conditions allowed in the future, he should capture one and raise it to help attract zombies!
This was far more efficient than that low-cut dress woman he encountered before!
As soon as the sound stopped!
Zhang Chen felt the ground vibrate again.
This tremor was different from the earthquakes caused by tens of thousands of zombies.
The amplitude was greater, and he could directly hear a rumbling vibration like a train passing through!
It seemed something big was coming.
It should be Goliaths.
And not just one!
Quickly finish them off, let's deal with you few first!
[Core Resonance]!
Zhang Chen activated the skill once more!
Invisible resonant energy impacted the bodies of the hundred surrounding zombies.
Susu...
Over ninety more zombies met their demise.
A Wailing One also let out a mournful cry, looking unwillingly as its body gradually vaporized until it disappeared.
Ding! First collection of a Mutated Type III Infected, the Wailing One. Congratulations on obtaining:
[Energy Core] * 600 + 480 (80% Talent bonus), [Swift Fertilizer] * 2, [Berserker Blood] * 2, [Tough Bone] * 2, [Sharp Claw] * 2, [Supply Crate Sensor] * 1.
[Supply Crate Sensor]: Displays the location and level information of all supply crates within a random nearby area on the minimap. Disappears after use! kAnshuWu.ξà
This was good!
Although the prompts could also indicate supply crates, he had to check them one building at a time.
An area consisting of hundreds of streets, thousands of buildings, how long would it take to check them all?
This sensor was far more efficient.
Moreover, some supply crates were in open areas, not inside buildings...
There was also the possibility of missing them.
After the display, Zhang Chen headed straight for the supply crates and opened them!
It was like getting a treasure on the map for free!
This was a great deal!
As expected, Mutated Type III Infected carried good stuff!
[Core Resonance]! [Concentrated Strike]!
Zhang Chen quickly dealt with the remaining five Wailing Ones (final count after the battle).
Now only one Wailing One remained on the rooftop, staring intently at him with a pale face.
Full of resentment!
Awoooo!!
Just then... the tremors beneath Zhang Chen's feet intensified!
The familiar roars of Goliaths echoed from deeper within the streets.
Following that, Zhang Chen witnessed the most shocking scene of this battle against the zombie horde!
Fifteen to sixteen Goliaths, plus five to six Wailing Ones, thirty to forty Poison Breeder worms...
And hundreds upon hundreds of Crawlers, from the ground, walls, and rooftops...
They surged forward, covering the sky! Kan Shu La
Was this an elite zombie horde?
Most critically... their eyes were all red!
