Lord of Illusions City
Chapter 285 Soul Shatter!
At this moment, Li Chenzhou and the others were desperately slaughtering zombies with the cooperation of the four vehicle-mounted machine guns, trying to prevent them from approaching the Dark Blood War Chariot. Because Tian Ya had rushed into a nearby building, they didn't dare to stray too far and could only hold on until Tian Ya reported the situation around them before making a decision.
"Boss, watch out above!"
Tian Ya's voice suddenly came through the communicator. Li Chenzhou subconsciously looked up and saw that Tian Ya was actually on the outer wall of the eighth floor of that building, constantly climbing upwards. Behind him, two Shadow Demons were also clinging to the wall, chasing closely.
It turned out that as soon as Tian Ya discovered he was blocked in the room by several Shadow Demons, he immediately raised his hand and shot dead two of them. Then, as the remaining Shadow Demons were about to approach him, he directly leaped onto the windowsill and climbed up the outer wall, while also using the communicator to warn Li Chenzhou.
Seeing this situation, Li Chenzhou immediately raised his hand and killed the two Shadow Demons chasing Tian Ya, then looked towards the surrounding buildings.
Tian Ya was shouting to watch out above, so he definitely wasn't referring to the Shadow Demons chasing him; there must be something else to be careful of up there.
Sure enough, as his gaze moved, Li Chenzhou saw the Enhanced Zombies hidden in the surrounding buildings. Actually, these guys were easy to spot because they had all smashed the glass in front of them and were standing by the windows.
Unfortunately, because the sound of the four vehicle-mounted machine guns firing was too loud, Li Chenzhou and the others hadn't noticed the sound of the glass breaking. Otherwise, they would have discovered something was wrong sooner.
Of course, Li Chenzhou saw fewer zombies than Tian Ya did. Although he could see the buildings on both sides, because he was on the ground, his angle wasn't very good, and he could only see the front row of Enhanced Zombies.
But even so, Li Chenzhou saw at least one hundred and fifty Enhanced Zombies. Moreover, Li Chenzhou could guess that there might be more than just one row of these zombies.
"So, you're planning to leave us here?"
Seeing those hidden Enhanced Zombies, Li Chenzhou finally understood why the guy controlling the horde would spare no expense, even sacrificing so many ordinary zombies, to attack Dark Blood.
They were using ordinary zombies as bait to attract Li Chenzhou and the others' attention, while the real trump card was those Enhanced Zombies hidden high up!
The locations of those Enhanced Zombies weren't far from their Dark Blood War Chariot. Given their height, they could definitely jump directly onto the vehicle and attack them.
And at this time, they were shooting from within the Dark Blood War Chariot's cover, constantly bombarded by the zombie horde. Only the cover where Gray Bear was located had been strengthened somewhat; the others were in their initial state.
After all, they were usually engaged in close combat and didn't need cover. It was only today, with the special circumstances, that they adopted remote combat methods!
From this, it could also be seen that Li Chenzhou and Duan Lei's previous decision to hoard Slaying Points and directly exchange them for the Space War Chariot was quite brilliant. Without Dark Blood, they wouldn't have had a good way to deal with this zombie horde.
No matter how powerful someone was, they couldn't hold out for too long in a zombie horde, even Li Chenzhou. So, even if he went down to fight, he would stay near the Dark Blood War Chariot for easy retreat.
And now, the manipulator of the zombie horde—the mastermind—had obviously seen through their reliance on the chariot. Therefore, he gathered all the Enhanced Zombies to directly attack their war chariot!!!
"You want to jump directly onto the vehicle and attack us, right? Then come on!"
Li Chenzhou looked up at those Enhanced Zombies, who were ready to jump, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. Then, he immediately shouted on the communication channel:
"Everyone, pay attention! Watch above! As soon as those Enhanced Zombies jump down, immediately return to the living room. Xiao Lei, get ready! It's time for your dazzling debut!!!"
Honestly, the mastermind's move was indeed quite ruthless. The zombies descending from the sky could not only avoid the firing angles of the vehicle-mounted machine guns, but also directly attack them as they shot from behind the combat bunkers on the chariot.
Moreover, if those Enhanced Zombies really jumped onto the vehicle, they could directly attack the Dark Blood War Chariot. Although Li Chenzhou had strengthened the chariot's defense and could use Slaying Points to repair it in time, it would still consume Slaying Points.
After slaughtering for so long in the zombie horde, Li Chenzhou did indeed have a large number of Slaying Points. After all, they had killed quite a few Enhanced Zombies. But if they were constantly being consumed, there would definitely be a time when they would be used up.
Zombies, after all, were tireless, while Slaying Points were limited. Especially when the war chariot was under siege, the four vehicle-mounted machine guns definitely couldn't be used, or they would be destroyed by the Enhanced Zombies.
With only outflow and no inflow, even a million Slaying Points wouldn't be enough. Moreover, Li Chenzhou now had less than twenty thousand Slaying Points!
However, the crisis at hand had become easier because of one person—Duan Lei!!!
As the first of Li Chenzhou's followers, Duan Lei had never had any bright moments in combat. Most of the time, he was helping Li Chenzhou handle some matters and using his mental detection to see how others viewed them.
After all, Duan Lei's attributes were only at the limit of ordinary people. In the team, aside from his mental abilities, he could be said to be the weakest. Head-on combat was, of course, his weakness.
But this didn't mean his strength was lacking. Duan Lei also had an extremely powerful group attack ability—Shattered Soul!
Shattered Soul: When activated, it unleashes a soul impact on all creatures within a ten-meter radius, causing mental damage and unconsciousness for the weaker ones, and direct death for the stronger ones. It does not distinguish between friend and foe!
This was Duan Lei's innate ability, not a skill. Once used, with Duan Lei's current eighty points of mental strength, it was estimated that no one could withstand it.
However, this skill didn't distinguish between friend and foe. As long as anyone was within ten meters of Duan Lei, they would be subjected to Shattered Soul's mental attack. This led to Duan Lei basically having no opportunity to activate his innate ability.
But now, with the Dark Blood War Chariot, Duan Lei's skill finally had a use, and now was the best time!
However, Li Chenzhou didn't know when those Enhanced Zombies would jump down. To have Duan Lei activate Shattered Soul, he definitely had to wait until all those Enhanced Zombies had jumped down.
"Boss! I've reached the rooftop. Our situation… seems a little bad!"
Just as Li Chenzhou and the others were slaughtering zombies while waiting for those Enhanced Zombies to jump down and launch a surprise attack, Tian Ya's voice suddenly sounded in the communicator again…
