Regret youthful ignorance
Chapter 174 Second Gou
For the average members:
Ten people formed a squad, ideally composed of three melee types and seven elemental types. Although Chen Luo strongly supported the Light element, its members were too few to assign one to each squad.
Before, zombies were slow, like three-year-olds, unable to control their bodies, uncoordinated. But with higher levels, they gradually gained control, becoming like eight or nine-year-olds.
Forget about bullying slow zombies now.
A lone zombie would definitely run at the sight of so many people and call for backup.
If you were lucky, you could corner a lone zombie and kill it easily. But most likely, you'd be cornered by a similar number of zombies.
In that case, the members would temporarily retreat, calling nearby teammates via walkie-talkie to encircle the zombies.
But that was the ideal scenario. Often, they inevitably clashed head-on with a similar number of zombies.
Chen Luo's members were tactical, coordinated, and experienced, so they could win even in these situations.
However, the presence of level-three teammates often made it difficult. Injuries were inevitable, and death was common.
If they were unlucky and encountered a special ability or a mutant, it was normal for an entire squad to be wiped out.
The turtle shell shields greatly increased their survival rate.
As for Xia Haoran, his iron fists were extremely violent.
Xia Haoran always acted alone.
A lone wolf, zombies would pounce on sight.
At level five, Xia Haoran's punch strength approached level six. Usually, a full-force blow could explode a zombie's head.
These fists were not only powerful but also exceptionally strong, even stronger than Su Dazhu's defense.
But other parts of his body were similar to normal melee types, or even weaker, since all his abilities were used to temper his fists.
If surrounded by several equally powerful ability users, Xia Haoran would be in danger. That's how he died in his previous life.
Of course, Xia Haoran wouldn't fight large groups of zombies head-on. He'd just run.
Besides Chen Luo, Xia Haoran was the most efficient because he didn't use abilities.
Shu Yun, on the other hand, moved with her teammates.
Recently, Shu Yun had learned a crowd control spell.
More than twenty zombies surrounded Shu Yun and her team.
Shu Yun's expression was calm. Suddenly, a blizzard began in the area around the zombies.
A large amount of ice crystals formed on the zombies' bodies. Although they weren't completely frozen, their speed was greatly affected, making it difficult for them to move.
The teammates swarmed up and easily killed the zombies.
The Ice element wasn't as powerful as the Fire or Lightning elements, but it had control and crowd control abilities.
The blizzard was powerful, but it consumed a lot of energy. Shu Yun, at level five, could only use it three times.
Then there was Fa Wang.
Fa Wang was the second strongest in the entire base, although the gap between first and second place was very large.
The veteran level-five powerhouse Fa Wang acted alone, howling excitedly.
The points for killing zombies had greatly increased, five points per zombie.
The sea is vast for fish to leap, the sky is high for dogs to roam.
Fa Wang saw a zombie, narrowed his dog eyes, and quietly, making extremely light sounds, slowly walked up to a zombie.
The zombie was completely unaware, still hehe-ing as it searched for meat in a supermarket.
Fa Wang suddenly burst forth, jumped up, and slapped the back of the zombie's head.
The zombie spat out a mouthful of blood, slowly fell to the ground, and struggled to turn its head to see who had attacked it.
Was it a turtle, or a dog?
It died with its eyes wide open.
Fa Wang happily collected the crystal, his mission complete by one percent. After killing 99 more, he would have five hundred points.
When he encountered many zombies, Fa Wang didn't hesitate to use Chain Lightning or Thunder Burst to kill them.
Suddenly, a thick Lightning Bolt spell came from a distance, creating quite a stir.
Fa Wang couldn't help but look over. Was there a battle?
There was a faint heat wave coming from that direction.
Fa Wang narrowed his eyes. It seemed to be an evenly matched fight. Could he pick up the scraps?
The dog would go take a look.
Fortune favors the bold. For the sake of his soon-to-be-born puppies, he'd take a gamble. If it didn't work, he could always run.
A Fire-element zombie and a Lightning-element zombie were fighting.
It wasn't strange for intelligent creatures to kill each other.
Next to them were the bodies of more than a dozen recently deceased survivors. The two zombies were fighting over this fresh meat.
Fa Wang quietly hid in the dark, watching patiently.
Fight, fight to the death. Killing one was good, but it would be best if they both died, giving the cheap advantage to the dog.
These two zombies weren't low-level, and their fight was quite frightening.
The nearby zombies were all scared away.
The two zombies kept changing positions, and Fa Wang secretly groaned.
Suddenly, Fa Wang was discovered.
Normally, he wouldn't have been discovered, but he was wearing a big turtle shell...
Some dog holes he couldn't crawl through anymore.
Fa Wang was dumbfounded. What the hell.
The Lightning-element zombie snorted coldly, "Go to hell."
The Lightning-element zombie casually released a bolt of lightning, directly striking Fa Wang.
Fa Wang stared straight at the lightning bolt, and in an instant, he had an idea.
He couldn't dodge. If he dodged, they would definitely become vigilant.
Next was the moment to witness his acting skills.
The turtle shell that could withstand a level-five spell was pierced, and Fa Wang was hit.
Fa Wang let out a shrill scream, his body trembling wildly.
Fa Wang slowly fell to the ground, even with his feet in the air.
Fa Wang's body trembled like he had epilepsy, and the frequency slowly decreased.
At the same time, he foamed at the mouth.
Fa Wang closed his eyes, kicked his legs, and died.
The Fire-element zombie sneered. How dare this thing come over?
The two zombies were relieved, it was just trash. They resumed their fierce battle.
The two zombies, having tasted blood, fought more and more frantically. It was truly a life-and-death battle.
In the end, the Lightning-element zombie was slightly better and killed the Fire-element zombie.
But the Lightning-element zombie wasn't doing much better. Its body was covered in scorched wounds, its mouth was full of blood, and its head, in particular, was about to be burned to charcoal.
The Lightning-element zombie laughed with difficulty, "You, dare to fight me?"
"It was me, who laughed last."
After saying that, the Lightning-element zombie spat out another mouthful of blood.
Fa Wang had been slightly opening one dog eye, checking the situation, just in case a big move affected him so he could dodge.
Seeing the Lightning-element zombie seriously injured, he was overjoyed and was about to act, but this Lightning-element zombie actually walked towards Fa Wang.
"I'll eat some turtle meat first."
Fa Wang thought for a moment, he'd give it a fierce one when it came over.
Not daring to use his claws to condense lightning abilities, Fa Wang silently accumulated lightning energy in his mouth.
The Lightning-element zombie limped towards Fa Wang, with great difficulty, and was about to bite Fa Wang's neck.
Who knew this dog had been pretending to be dead the whole time.
The moment of truth had arrived.
Fa Wang's dog face was ferocious as he stuck the condensed, highly compressed lightning ball, fully twenty centimeters in diameter, firmly on the Lightning-element zombie's face.
Even if the Lightning-element zombie was prepared, it couldn't dodge at this time. It had difficulty walking.
The Lightning-element zombie screamed, and then its head exploded.
Fa Wang nimbly got up, without a word of nonsense, and took the crystals first.
Only after getting the two crystals did Fa Wang reveal a triumphant smile.
The dog was the one who laughed last, okay.
