Chapter 2

Accompanied by the sound, a van rushed into the intersection, then swerved sharply towards them. Duan Xue was driving, and Duan Lei was in the passenger seat, half his body hanging out as he pointed behind them and yelled,

"Boss! There's a big guy chasing us! It must be the enhanced zombie you mentioned!"

"What?"

Li Chenzhou was stunned.

That was impossible! Today was only the true first day of the apocalypse, and enhanced zombies weren't supposed to appear until a week into it, gradually increasing and getting stronger. Where would an enhanced zombie come from now?

But then, a figure that appeared before Li Chenzhou's eyes made his body tremble.

Although the guy, over two meters tall with indigo skin and ferocious fangs, was running somewhat clumsily, like a drunken man, Li Chenzhou immediately recognized it as a level one defense-type zombie—a King Kong!

Like the evolved, zombies were also classified by type. Defense types were called King Kongs, strength types were Tyrants, agility types were Shadowfiends, and the most terrifying were the intelligent Corpse Kings!

Li Chenzhou was grateful that this zombie was a King Kong, which ran even slower than ordinary zombies. If it had been a Shadowfiend, Duan Lei and Duan Xue wouldn't have even had the chance to run here.

"Drive to the side!"

After confirming the zombie's identity, Li Chenzhou immediately shouted at Duan Lei, his brain working rapidly, thinking about how to kill this thing.

Although the King Kong was the slowest of all zombies, it wasn't much slower than a human running. It couldn't catch up to the van, but in the current city, the van couldn't possibly have a clear path.

Therefore, it definitely wouldn't work to let it keep chasing them. Once the road was blocked, and a few more zombies came, the trouble would be huge.

But to kill it, they couldn't do it now. The King Kong's defense was extremely strong. Before becoming an evolved, only firearms could kill it. With ordinary people's strength, it was impossible to break through its skull with cold weapons.

Just as Duan Xue was driving towards the security room, Li Chenzhou kept moving his hands, rapidly reaping the lives of the zombies below with the steel bar in his hand. At the same time, he moved his feet and shouted loudly, attracting the zombies below in another direction.

The Slaughter Mall did have guns, but the cheapest handgun cost 100 Slaughter Points. After the previous slaughter, Li Chenzhou only had 72 Slaughter Points in total. Even killing all the zombies here wouldn't be enough, but every little bit helped.

Just after killing five or six zombies, Duan Lei's van had already driven over. Li Chenzhou immediately threw the steel bar in his hand to Zhang Hu, and at the same time gave him a very thin syringe, saying:

"You go over to the van! Give this to Duan Lei, tell him to inject it immediately, and drive the car away, you guys lure that big guy away together!"

As soon as Zhang Hu heard Li Chenzhou's first words, he glared. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Li Chenzhou tell them to lure the big zombie away, so he took the injection and steel bar, turned and ran to the other side, jumping into the van.

Then, he immediately ran to the front of the car, handed the injection to Duan Lei, and repeated Li Chenzhou's words. Duan Lei didn't hesitate at all, pointed ahead and said to Duan Xue:

"Sis! Drive that way!"

After speaking, he bit off the protective cap of the needle and injected the medicine into his arm.

Duan Xue stared at Duan Lei with wide eyes, and when Duan Lei realized the car hadn't moved, he immediately turned his head and shouted at Duan Xue:

"Drive, hurry!"

Only then did Duan Xue step on the gas, and the van drove forward.

The van made a lot of noise, but because Li Chenzhou was attracting the zombies on the other side of the building, the remaining dozen or so zombies didn't chase the van. Only the King Kong, after seeing Li Chenzhou, paused slightly, then continued chasing the van.

Li Chenzhou waited on the roof for a while, until the King Kong had chased past the security room, then he took a few quick steps and jumped onto the SUV. The zombies immediately shifted their attention and pounced over frantically.

The height of the SUV wasn't enough to stop the zombies, and because they were too close, Li Chenzhou was instantly surrounded by zombies. He could even smell the fishy, foul breath from the zombies' mouths.

And at that moment, a black fog, centered on Li Chenzhou and twenty meters in diameter, suddenly appeared, covering the entire entrance of the residential area, including the security room.

This was Li Chenzhou's talent—War Fog.

All the zombies enveloped by the fog stopped moving, standing blankly in place, their heads swaying from side to side as they twitched their noses constantly. Even the King Kong, which had just run past the security room and was also enveloped at the edge of the fog, was the same.

"Puff, puff, puff, puff..."

The zombies weren't moving, but Li Chenzhou didn't stop. He pulled out the dagger on his body and quickly beheaded all the remaining dozen zombies!

The whole process took about six seconds. After killing the last zombie, Li Chenzhou turned his head to look at the King Kong, which was still standing there blankly, sighed, and deactivated the War Fog.

Now was actually the best time to kill the King Kong, but unfortunately, he didn't have a weapon to kill this thing. Even stabbing it in the eyes with a dagger wouldn't be enough to kill it. Moreover, his War Fog couldn't last that long.

This black fog was an active skill, and maintaining it required continuous consumption of mental energy. With Li Chenzhou's current mental energy, he could only support the maximum range of the War Fog for ten seconds at most!

The maximum radius of the War Fog was ten meters, but it didn't have to be expanded that much. Li Chenzhou could control the range himself. He had stretched the range to the limit just now in order to control the King Kong for a while.

As the fog disappeared, the King Kong seemed a little confused, but after letting out a roar, it chased after the van again, completely unaware of the slaughter that had just occurred to its right rear.

Li Chenzhou opened the car door, threw the dagger on the passenger seat, then took out the key, started the SUV, and chased after the King Kong.

At this time, in the van being chased by the King Kong, Duan Lei was filled with shock and joy. He kept grabbing his legs with both hands, and then tried to move his toes.

That's right, the treatment medicine Li Chenzhou gave Duan Lei was exchanged from the Slaughter Mall. It only cost ten Slaughter Points, and could heal all injuries except for missing limbs and the zombie virus!

However, because Duan Xue was still driving and there was a zombie behind them, Duan Lei was being careful. If Duan Xue found out that his legs were actually healed, the car might crash somewhere, and then... this medicine would be wasted.

"Squeal~!"

But at this moment, Duan Xue braked suddenly, causing the unprepared Duan Lei to smash his head into the windshield. Duan Lei, lifting his head, instantly knew the reason for the braking.

Ahead of them, several cars that had crashed together had blocked the entire road, and around the cars, there were a dozen zombies, who had already seen them and were running towards them.

Duan Lei's face, which had just been immersed in joy, changed drastically. He immediately looked back, and the King Kong behind them was now less than fifty meters away from their van...
