Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Strike While He’s Down, Take His Life!
The powerful second-tier zombie rushed out from the raging flames, its body still ablaze and charred beyond recognition.
Yet even so, its massive body continued to struggle incessantly.
The creature roared angrily and rolled around on the clearing, seemingly trying to extinguish the flames on its body.
"Are you kidding me, it’s not dead yet?!"
Watching the furious Tyrant zombie in the distance, Lu Chuan’s pupils shrank. He hadn’t expected that after enduring the explosion at the gas station, this Tyrant zombie could still survive.
Moreover, Lu Chuan noticed that not only was the zombie alive, but the charred parts of its skin seemed to be writhing, with the wounds from the explosion showing signs of healing!
Charred crispy skin continuously fell off it, revealing the new flesh underneath.
Although he’d seen the sword and gun wounds on this zombie heal before, Lu Chuan still hadn’t anticipated he had underestimated the foe.
Combat-type zombies advancing to the second tier are terrifying?!
Seeing the second-tier Tyrant zombie showing signs of recovery, a glint of frost flashed in Lu Chuan’s eyes as he made a decisive move!
While you’re vulnerable!
I’ll take your life!
I don’t believe you can still be as ferocious as you were after the gas station explosion!
Lu Chuan immediately controlled Lightning along with ’Da Pang,’ quickly heading to the vicinity of the gas station.
Under the pressure of the Evolved Zombies, the ordinary zombies that had been drawn by the explosion sounds scattered away in avoidance.
Sensing the approach of fellow evolved zombies, the Tyrant, though heavily injured, struggled to stand up and roared towards ’Da Pang’ and Lightning.
Roar!
Lu Chuan’s heart grew heavy; the oppressive aura of this Tyrant zombie was indeed strong.
The key issue was that post-evolution, its size surpassed ’Da Pang’ by a significant margin, now pitch-black and emitting thick black smoke, with some flames yet to be extinguished.
Standing upright, this behemoth truly resembled a Demon Lord of Chaos.
Controlled by Lu Chuan, ’Da Pang’ said nothing and swung its double hammers, charging forward directly.
Seeing this, the Tyrant zombie instinctively attempted to dodge; however, though it survived the explosion, it had been severely wounded.
Bam!
Its movements slowed significantly due to its injuries, directly struck by ’Da Pang’s’ dual hammers on its back.
The body that had just risen fell again, with ’Lightning One’ closely following.
Under normal circumstances, ’Da Pang’ combined with ’Lightning One’ wouldn’t have been a match for the Tyrant.
But now, the heavily injured Tyrant was hammered down by ’Da Pang,’ rendering its body stiff.
Before it could react, ’Lightning One’ was already wielding dual blades, successfully closing in.
Roar!
The wounded Tyrant let out an angry roar, hoping to use its second-tier zombie aura to intimidate ’Da Pang’ and ’Lightning One.’
But little did it know, Lu Chuan was controlling the two zombies from behind.
Faced with the Tyrant’s roar, Lu Chuan was unfazed, controlling ’Lightning One’ to swing the blades and sever the Tyrant’s arm.
Without its arm, this heavily injured Tyrant’s actions became even more challenging.
’Da Pang,’ under Lu Chuan’s control, swung its hammers madly in relentless blows.
Despite the formidable flesh of the second-tier zombie, multiple bones broke under ’Da Pang’s’ furious hammering.
The massive-bodied Tyrant zombie was hammered down by ’Da Pang,’ unable to stand.
Simultaneously, ’Lightning One’s’ steel blade never ceased, continuously slicing the Tyrant’s legs.
To prevent a final desperate counterattack from the dying Tyrant, Lu Chuan prepared to sever its limbs first.
"Aren’t those Sunshine District’s evolved zombies? How did they end up here?!"
Seeing several evolved zombies fighting together, Zhao Lin was momentarily astonished.
Following the explosion at the gas station earlier, Zhao Lin chose to temporarily retreat when faced by the surrounding horde due to her severe injuries.
However, she hadn’t gone far, instead continuing to watch secretly.
Witnessing the charred Tyrant zombie emerge from the flames and still not die, Zhao Lin felt both aghast and anxious.
"Are you kidding me, even the gas station explosion couldn’t kill it?!"
Zhao Lin furrowed her slender brows, contemplating the next move.
Yet the next second, unexpectedly, two evolved zombies emerged from the shadows.
Soon, three evolved zombies began their relentless battle.
Upon seeing the Tyrant zombie hammered down by ’Da Pang,’ then having its arm and leg chopped off by ’Lightning One,’ Zhao Lin finally relaxed.
Though Sunshine District zombies were powerful, they remained within her coping range.
But the second-tier Tyrant zombie was truly unparalleled; seeing it now on the brink of death, Zhao Lin could finally rest easy.
"Let them tear each other apart! Hopefully, all three will mutually perish!"
Watching Sunshine District’s zombies, Zhao Lin recalled last night’s battle.
"Who exactly was that competent rescuer? To even influence evolved zombies, what kind of powers did they awaken?"
Reflecting on the voice heard the previous night, Zhao Lin felt this expert’s voice seemed rather youthful...
Quite a peculiar individual, but in this apocalyptic world, he must be like me a fellow evolver in order to survive.
No matter, we’ve already arranged a meeting tonight to unveil the identity of this mysterious figure.
With this thought, Zhao Lin glanced at the battlefield before limping away with her severely injured body.
Her current physical condition left much to be desired; if blocked by other evolved zombies, it would be disastrous.
After Zhao Lin departed, ’Da Pang’ and ’Lightning One’ in Lu Chuan’s control pressed their advantage.
One exhaustedly swung the giant hammer, restricting the Tyrant’s actions.
The other wielded the steel blade incessantly, rapidly diminishing the opponent’s vitality.
In no time, the Tyrant finally lost all signs of life.
To ensure its complete demise, Lu Chuan first used ’Da Pang’ to shatter the brain with a distant strike.
Then ’Lightning One’ swiftly stepped forward, swinging the blade to decapitate the Tyrant.
Simultaneously extracting the Crystal Core from the Tyrant’s skull, Lu Chuan observed that the second-tier zombie’s core was indeed as he predicted: red with a substantial orange hue.
Seeing the second-tier zombie’s core, Lu Chuan was overjoyed, quickly controlling the zombies to hurry back to Sunshine District.
Considerable time had been spent for this second-tier core; perhaps Little Qiqi was already hungry.
Considering that each time he devoured a core, he’d fall into a coma, Lu Chuan decided to return home first to prepare a meal for Little Qiqi.
After all, he had no idea how long he’d be unconscious this time.
