Chapter 360 Persistent Battle

The loud speaker attracted a large number of zombies. After the conversation, Grey Bear consciously backed the car to the position where he had suddenly rushed out, while Duan Lei in the back never moved his vehicle from beginning to end.

The number of zombies in the urban village was quite large. The sound of the loudspeaker alone must have attracted three or four hundred. Fortunately, the roads here were winding, narrow, and crisscrossed, like a spider web.

Therefore, not many zombies could immediately find the source of the sound and appear first, only forty or fifty!

This number of zombies was about three times more than before, but it was still within Li Chenzhou's acceptable range. However, it took him nearly three minutes to kill these zombies, and he was attacked nine times.

In other words, if he didn't have the combat suit, he would already be dead, or turned into a zombie.

Moreover, when it’s said that he wiped them all out, it refers to the number of zombies Li Chenzhou killed, which had reached forty or fifty. But his battle had not stopped, because although zombies were constantly having their heads smashed by Li Chenzhou and falling to the ground to die, the number of zombies did not decrease significantly—zombies gradually finding their way were constantly joining the battle.

This situation made Grey Bear frown, because he knew very well that a person's physical strength was limited. The more intense the battle, the greater the consumption of physical strength. This was precisely the terror of the zombie horde—no matter how powerful a person was, once surrounded, they would eventually be exhausted and devoured alive by the zombies.

But soon, Grey Bear discovered that Li Chenzhou's movements had not slowed down, and even the rhythm of the battle had not been disrupted. His eyes lit up, and he finally realized that Li Chenzhou was using strength and speed similar to that of ordinary people in the battle process, far from reaching his limit.

"So…this kind of fighting style is for a war of attrition?"

Grey Bear seemed to realize something, and his gaze at Li Chenzhou became more serious.

Li Chenzhou had also realized this long ago. In the previous battle, he discovered that the instructor's fighting style could be called art, but it didn't seem to be so beneficial to the fighter.

Battle is, after all, battle. Many times, battles are about morale—of course, not for zombies.

Smashing a zombie's head into a pit with a stick and smashing its entire head to pieces, even splitting its body in half, although the final effect was the same, killing the zombie, the latter was obviously more satisfying!

If it was a multi-person battle, this way of killing the enemy would undoubtedly be a great encouragement to one's own side. Even in a lonely battle, such killings could make the fighter feel a sense of heroic slaughter.

And now, looking at the endless stream of zombies, Li Chenzhou finally understood the benefits of this fighting style, and understood that what the instructor was pursuing was not perfect art, but a sustained battle.

This realization made Li Chenzhou feel even heavier. The instructor taught him this fighting style when he was introducing the Devourers, and the instructor must have fought against the Devourers.

So…since the instructor's own expertise, and what he deliberately wanted to teach him, were all this kind of fighting style, it meant that the number of Devourers might not be less than the number of zombies.

"Puff puff puff…"

As Li Chenzhou was thinking, his battle naturally continued, and the rhythm of the battle remained unchanged. The only difference was that he had never used skills and talents.

Because behind him was Grey Bear's car, and now the zombies were surrounding him. If he used Fatal Strike, although he could break through to the back of the horde and relax himself, it was likely that some zombies would rush towards Grey Bear's car.

As for talent…War Fog was indeed useful, but…huh?

Li Chenzhou's mind suddenly lit up. That's right, after his combat ability was improved, he had never used War Fog before.

Last night in the mine, he had thought about it when he rushed out. If it was really impossible, he would use War Fog in conjunction with Fatal Strike to escape, but in the end, because of the "internal strife" of those mutated creatures, his battle became easier, and he didn't use it!

Talent: War Fog. After activation, it forms a fog around itself that can isolate vision, hearing, and taste. The activator and designated friendly forces are not affected. It continuously consumes mental power! Maximum radius of ten meters.

After obtaining this talent, Li Chenzhou regarded it as an ability to be used for beheading or escaping, especially after obtaining the skill Fatal Strike.

The skill range of War Fog was ten meters, and Fatal Strike was five meters. Therefore, if there were powerful zombies, such as a Corpse King, then as long as Li Chenzhou approached within ten meters of its side, it would basically be over.

With Li Chenzhou's current ability, he could maintain War Fog for a full ten seconds. Ten seconds was enough for him to advance five meters, and then use Fatal Strike to kill the target, especially Fatal Strike's true damage that ignored defense, which was completely the best combination for beheading.

But in group battles, Li Chenzhou didn't feel that War Fog had much effect. After all, if he was surrounded by a zombie horde, War Fog would only allow him to persist for ten more seconds.

At least, in the current state, if War Fog was used, it would at most give him ten seconds of wanton killing time. It was completely icing on the cake and had no major impact on the battle situation.

Because he didn't need to escape, and there were no enhanced zombies here for him to behead.

But as he came into contact with and learned Li Yingning's combat awareness, he suddenly thought of another use for War Fog.

War Fog could last up to ten seconds, which was only the longest time he could persist, but who said that once used, he must consume all of his mental power?

Moreover, this ten seconds was calculated based on the maximum coverage radius of War Fog, which was to cover a ten-meter space. But he was currently in close combat, and it was enough to cover an area of two meters or even one meter around him, because zombies didn't have archers, they wouldn't attack from a distance!

If this was the case, his War Fog could perhaps accumulate to twenty seconds or even half a minute, and what if he only used a fraction of a second each time? After all, in this kind of battle, even 0.1 seconds could determine the life or death of the opponent…

So, Grey Bear, who was staring intently at Li Chenzhou's battle, suddenly saw a black fog appearing around Li Chenzhou, with a diameter of only one meter, as if he had turned into a black egg…
