Chapter 1667: Chapter 1661: You Smell Really Good
Roar!
Ha~!
After listening to the strange soldier’s words, the silver-armored corpse erupted in fury, pounding the ground like a hammer with its fists. The three normal people caught between them instinctively glanced at their arms, finding all the hairs standing upright!
The strange soldier paid no further attention to the enraged silver-armored corpse, instead turning his gaze back to Wu Zhixiong. He was more intrigued by the three individuals before him than by the silver-armored corpse outside, his eyes revealing curiosity as if seeing something new.
"You..." He uttered just two words before stopping abruptly. Wu Zhixiong felt uneasy being at the forefront and mustered up the courage to ask, "What about us?" Uncertain of how the strange soldier would respond, Wu Zhixiong felt an inexplicable expectation—this was his first time conversing with a zombie!
Not disappointing him, the strange soldier replied, but his words were chilling!
"The smell on you... so fragrant... I’ve never sensed it before... hu~ ha~" As he spoke, he took a deep breath, a face full of enjoyment, causing the three to break out in cold sweat!
"I think I understand why those guys were chasing you now, so that’s it..."
As the strange soldier spoke, the three’s bodies became increasingly rigid, as if they were plunged into the depths of winter, every nerve frozen, unable to move, helplessly staring at the figure before them.
Who were those "guys" he mentioned? Could it be those eerie-sounding zombies outside?
The three felt a strong sense of puzzlement regarding the strange soldier’s identity. He spoke fluent Chinese, albeit with a slight accent, which made his words seem down-to-earth and unlike someone from Lan Ou Continent!
However, the strange soldier did not address the three’s inner doubts, only issuing a command-like order with a touch of familiarity: "Stay here, I’ll find you once I’ve collected more spoils."
"Huh?"
The three looked dumbfoundedly at the strange soldier, but he offered no further explanation, brushing past them, stepping towards the zombie horde outside. At that moment, a change began in his aura, something the three only vaguely sensed, but the zombies outside seemed to feel it, as their attention, focused on the silver-armored corpse, began diverting towards the unusual soldier.
Unexpected, but within expectations, Ghost Head internally sighed, "As expected..." shortly before hearing a low roar erupt from the strange soldier. The next second, his clothes exploded, revealing distinctly shaped muscles!
The ghostly pale skin made it impossible to perceive any trace of vitality in him. Due to evolution, bones grew out of his back, protruding from the skin, with elongated limbs and fin-like organs at the joints, purpose unknown. His bulging muscles twitched, rapidly growing stronger at a visible rate!
Hu~
He~hu...
The three exchanged looks, clearly hearing the deep breath emanating from his mouth. The surrounding air notably heated up, making them feel as if they were under the scorching sun of June. Initially thinking it was an illusion, they realized it wasn’t as the temperature continued to rise!
The strange soldier strode towards the advancing zombie horde. With each deep breath, he exhaled white mist. His previously pale skin, with hints of light purple, started to change color, growing darker and finally transitioning to silver!
This guy is a silver-armored corpse!
Simultaneously, his height increased swiftly, soon nearing the ceiling. The overgrown bones protruding from his back quickly extended to a length of four to five meters, six in total, equally distributed on either side, capable of slight movements. These elongated bones grew sinister white bone spurs, resembling mantis limbs, glinting with a chilling light!
He picked up speed, soon met by the first zombie fearlessly rushing at him, leaping up. Tentacles sprung from its thick arm like rods and whipped towards the strange soldier. Yet, the difference in level was evident. As the tentacles approached, they were caught effortlessly with a lift of the hand, and with a forceful pull, the zombie’s body was instantly dragged before him with a "swish"!
Instinctively arching its body, intending to distance itself from the strange soldier, in the face of overwhelming strength, all its actions seemed futile. Desperate, it opened its foul-smelling mouth to unleash a deafening roar to subdue him.
But as its mouth gaped, a fist already plunged in. The clenched fingers released slightly, splattering a sticky, unknown liquid everywhere!
The three raised their arms to shield themselves from the splatters, and when they regained their senses, the strange soldier now held a red Evolution Crystal, casually popping it into his mouth like a sugar candy. The next second, his figure blurred and the next moment of focus revealed him gone.
"Where did he go?"
The trio hastily turned their heads, only to see countless Level 4 zombies suspended in the air, a mass of writhing figures obscuring the sky. Perhaps due to its stolen food, the silver-armored corpse from earlier could no longer contain its fury, charging angrily towards the silver-armored corpse the strange soldier had transformed into, no longer minding the remaining zombies.
Reaching him, it lifted its arm and, without hesitation, smashed its colossal fist down!
The compression of air into a visible force produced large amounts of white mist spontaneously. Then, a loud bang turned everything black for the trio as the shockwave hurled them over ten meters, crashing them into a roadside transport truck.
When the three regained their vision, a crater the size of a basketball court had formed beneath the silver-armored corpse, filled with countless wailing zombies, their torsos reduced to slurry, with only heads emitting resentful growls, unaware of where the strange soldier had vanished.
Roar~...
Realizing it missed its target, the silver-armored corpse, that had smashed a crater, vented its rage in a roar but halted halfway, sensing something as a black pillar of light came crashing down from above!
Boom!
