Chapter 98: Chapter 98: Since When Do Zombies Use Weapons?
Ji Ruxue had just returned to the seventh floor when she found her father sitting motionlessly on the couch. Even as she entered the room, there wasn’t the slightest reaction.
Her father stared blankly ahead, and upon closer inspection, his blood-red pupils now seemed somewhat hollow.
Ji Ruxue immediately realized that her father must be focusing intensely on controlling other zombies, causing his own body to enter a state of suspension.
"Has father encountered some special situation again?"
The Corpse King can act on its own while controlling zombies, but with her father’s current state, he must have personally taken over a zombie body.
Ji Ruxue quickly ran to the balcony and looked into the district through the window.
Sure enough, the Tier 2 Tank Zombie that almost blocked half of the Sunshine District entrance was now gone.
This further confirmed to Ji Ruxue that her father was currently controlling a Tier 2 Zombie in action.
"Looks like father has encountered a Tier 2 Zombie again?"
"I wonder what type of zombie it is this time, but given father’s current zombie control combat power, it should be manageable."
...
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie, being besieged by Gangzi and others, was now furious. Despite having formidable combat power, it was being restrained by this Evolution Team, rendering it unable to inflict effective damage.
Every charge by the Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie was countered by the team captain and Gangzi head-on.
This Tier 2 Tyrant was indeed very powerful, sometimes able to simultaneously push back both Gangzi and the captain.
However, the Evolver responsible for reconnaissance would accurately shoot crossbow bolts to disrupt the Tyrant’s actions.
With the team’s close cooperation, they consistently confined the Tier 2 Tyrant between Gangzi and the captain, preventing it from attacking the others.
Although the Tier 2 Zombie was extremely strong, Gangzi and the captain would occasionally get injured.
But because the team included an Evolver who could heal, both could quickly recover their combat strength even if injured.
The recovery ability of the Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie was indeed formidable. Despite being hit by many crossbow bolts and secretly slashed countless times by the bald man,
the team captain and Gangzi, during direct confrontation, would occasionally leave some wounds unnoticed, but they never brought the Evolved Zombie down.
It was clear, however, that under the relentless targeting by the team, the Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie was also reaching its limit.
The healing speed of the wounds on its body had slowed significantly compared to before, and the multiple cuts from the bald man’s machete had not healed yet.
"Kneel down for me!"
Just as the Tyrant Zombie and the captain were clashing head-on, Gangzi launched another ambush, and the rebar in his hand smashed heavily onto the zombie’s kneecap.
Crack!
The crisp sound of bone breaking echoed along the street.
The massive body of the Tier 2 Tyrant then half-knelt on the ground.
After enduring successive attacks from the team, the Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie finally couldn’t hold on any longer.
An injury to one leg severely impacted the Tier 2 Tyrant, drastically reducing its movement speed, and even due to the loss of support from its leg, its attack frequency and power also decreased significantly.
This made the Survivor Squad, which could already restrain him through cooperation, even more at ease. Seeing the Tier 2 Tyrant half-kneel on the ground, the people present immediately beamed with joy.
In front of them was a genuine Tier 2 Zombie; if they could successfully kill it and obtain the Tier 2 Zombie’s Crystal Core, they could exchange it for five bottles of primary Evolution Potion back at the Survivor Base!
They might even exchange it for a bottle of medium Evolution Potion, allowing an Evolver to advance to Tier 2!
Currently, for survivors, the key to enhancing their strength relies on these Evolution Potions.
In the current Survivor Base, the Demon Core of such a Tier 2 Evolved Zombie is extremely precious!
The five were so excited that their offensive became increasingly fierce.
But at this moment, the Evolver responsible for recon and long-range zombie harassment suddenly noticed something amiss. He felt the ground beneath him starting to tremble slightly.
After the apocalypse, his sensory ability increased significantly, allowing him to perceive the ground shaking and hear a series of sounds.
Not long after, he spotted a gigantic being at the other end of the street, a terrifying presence with a body even larger than the Tier 2 Tyrant!
The oppressive aura emanating from that Tier 2 Tank Zombie left the Evolver responsible for reconnaissance utterly stunned.
"Everyone, be careful, there’s another Tier 2 Tank Zombie coming!"
Upon hearing the warning from their companion, the faces of the Evolver Team members instantly changed as they were engaged in battle.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
During their moment of shock, the ’Er Pang’ controlled by Lu Chuan had already bulldozed its way near the battlefield.
Seeing the imposing Tier 2 Tank Zombie charging forward, the Evolver Team was startled.
They had already been holding their ground against a Tier 2 Tyrant for a long time; facing another zombie was already the limit. If another Tier 2 Zombie arrived, these people might no longer have a way out!
"Damn it! How come we encounter another zombie at this particular moment?!"
The Survivor Squad captain was infuriated seeing the Tier 2 Tank Zombie charging towards them.
Though reluctant, for survival’s sake, he had no choice but to give the order to retreat.
"Brothers, our lives are important, retreat quickly!"
Under the captain’s orders, the team quickly withdrew in a direction opposite to the two zombies.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
’Er Pang,’ under Lu Chuan’s control, had reached the battlefield. The two Tier 2 Evolved Zombies, upon meeting, immediately became enraged.
The Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie ignored the retreating Gangzi and others, rushing straight towards ’Er Pang.’
However, due to its injured leg from the joint attack of the team, it was now staggering.
Lu Chuan noticed this and a cold smirk appeared on his lips, then the metal rod forged from steel in his hand started to swing rapidly.
The sound of the over one-ton metal rod being swung was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.
Bam!
One swing from Number Two was all it took to send the Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie flying with the steel rod.
Already unstable, the Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie stood no chance against the steel rod-wielding ’Er Pang.’
With one strike after another, ’Er Pang’ took down the already injured Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie, leaving its bones fractured in many places.
Those watching secretly, including Gangzi, were all shocked and terrified at this scene.
The slicked-back crew haircut team captain was even more astonished with his mouth agape: "Are you kidding? Since when can zombies use weapons too?!"
