Chapter 82: Even the True King of Hell Would Bow Three Times
The bloated, deformed head stared wide-eyed at the skeleton that suddenly burst through the door.
It seemed confused, wondering why the other party suddenly appeared here.
Why did they know it was hiding here?
Roar~!
The Big-Head zombie let out an angry roar, and the zombies guarding it also roared in unison.
They bared their fangs and brandished their claws as they rushed forward.
Bagdong also stepped forward quickly, fists and feet flying, knocking the charging zombies away or smashing them into pulp.
In the blink of an eye, all the zombies in the room were dead.
Meanwhile, the zombies outside continued to pound on the security door.
The Big-Head zombie helplessly leaned against the corner, watching as the towering skeleton slowly approached.
Step step~ thud!
The Big-Head zombie tried to escape, but after just two steps, it lost its balance and fell to the ground.
Bagdong walked up, raised his foot, and stomped down.
Bang~!
The massive head burst like a balloon, splattering thick fluid and foul blood across the walls and floor.
………
Main battlefield.
The battle between the two sides continued.
Zombies fell in groups into pools of blood, and skeletons fell like wheat being harvested.
By now, the fight had turned into a war of attrition.
It was now a matter of who had more troops left in the end.
Wu Heng stopped using 【Raise Skeleton】 and 【Grease Spell】, simply standing among the ranks, waiting for the next phase of the plan to progress.
He glanced at the battle in front of him.
【Gained Experience +55.】
【Summoned Creature - Skeleton Fighter gained Experience +20.】
Suddenly, the experience value for Bagdong appeared.
An increase of 20 wasn't something that killing ordinary zombies could achieve; it indicated that a Level 2 mutated zombie had been killed.
At the same time, the organized zombie horde suddenly began to fall into chaos.
Although they continued to charge forward, they lost their original order, scattering, crossing through the flames, and even being attracted to the exploding cars, frantically pounding on the wreckage.
Wu Heng looked up toward the distant residential building.
At the window where the Big-Head zombie had been, Bagdong now stood, holding the corpse of the Big-Head zombie.
Wu Heng gave him a thumbs-up from afar.
Then he ordered, "Attack!"
Whoosh!!
The skeletons that had been defending their position suddenly moved, charging forward.
They knocked down the zombies rushing toward them, their cleavers rising and falling, killing the zombies in front.
The three-meter-tall brute frantically swung its arms, sending zombies flying.
Wu Heng followed the skeletons, advancing to the original battlefield.
He raised his staff and cast 【Battlefield of the Dead】.
A gray-white circle of light spread out instantly, and skeletons began to crawl up from the ground, joining the ranks and attacking the zombies.
"Avoid the flames!"
Seeing the skeletons heading toward the fire, Wu Heng hurriedly shouted.
The fire had been burning for a while, reducing the flames, but there was still plenty of fuel burning.
If the skeletons stepped into it, they might ignite even easier than the zombies.
The skeleton army began to shrink into narrow, elongated squads, passing around the fire, continuing their assault on the zombies.
Wu Heng opened his inventory, took out bottles of mental potions, and drank them down.
Then he cast 【Battlefield of the Dead】 again, adding another wave of skeletons, continued drinking potions, and continued casting spells.
The skeleton horde crossed the sea of fire, charging at the zombies with wild abandon.
Cleavers swung down again and again, chopping the zombies to the ground.
At this moment, the situation on the battlefield began to change.
The skeletons pushed the zombies back.
The constantly swinging cleavers chopped the zombies to the ground, unable to lift their heads.
………
"Damn! Who the hell is he? Don't call him King of Hell; even the True King of Hell would bow three times before walking away!"
On the rooftop at the back of the battlefield, several people from the auto repair shop watched the distant battle.
The entire battle shifted so quickly that they could barely react.
At first, the zombies had the upper hand, and they thought the zombies would win, planning to drive away.
Then a gas canister was thrown down, and the flames engulfed a large number of zombies.
At that point, they thought victory was possible, but that the "King of Hell" would suffer heavy losses, possibly wiping out all the skeletons.
But now, the skeletons countercharged, leaving the zombies in complete disarray.
There was no need to say it; the skeletons were undoubtedly going to win.
"These zombies seem to have suddenly gone crazy," Wang Ke said softly, standing to the side.
The skeletons' counterattack came right after the zombie horde went into chaos.
Although they didn't see anything, it still felt like something had been planned.
The moment the zombies fell into chaos, the skeletons launched their charge.
"The commander zombie mentioned on the radio might be the one that attracted the zombie horde. Maybe that zombie died, causing the horde to fall into disarray," Li Yanhong explained.
The others looked at each other.
Last time, when they went to the hospital and encountered the Big-Head zombie, Li Yanhong had already told them about it.
At that time, they were surprised that the skeletons were chasing and killing a mutated zombie.
Now this zombie had come back with a group for revenge, but the result was the same; it was still killed by the skeletons, not leaving a single trace behind.
It's terrifying!
"Um… Sister Hong, are we still leaving? I mean, after we have enough food, are we still going?" Qiangzi asked.
Li Yanhong was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's see how things go first. No rush. Unload the stuff from the car. If it's safe, we don't need to hurry."
"Okay!" The group nodded and headed downstairs, returning to the auto repair shop.
On another rooftop.
The bearded man and the guy with glasses leaned against the edge of the rooftop railing.
The bearded man lit a cigarette and blew out a smoke ring, saying, "It seemed like there was a person among the skeletons, commanding them."
The guy with glasses nodded, "I saw it too, but I wasn't sure if it was a person. Maybe it was a monster that looked like a person."
"I think it might be one of those Awakened mentioned on the radio."
The guy with glasses adjusted his glasses, "If it's an Awakened, then maybe humanity still has hope, but it's unlikely. There's no way an Awakened could develop that quickly."
The bearded man glanced down the building, stubbed out the remaining half of his cigarette, and put it back in his crumpled cigarette pack, saying, "In any case, we survived another day. There aren't many zombies left. Let's head back and check the situation through the radio."
"Hmm!"
The two of them stood up and carefully headed downstairs.
………
Time passed little by little, and the battle drew to a close.
The skeleton dogs and skeleton warriors were finishing off the remaining zombies.
Bagdong walked back from the opposite side.
His chest ribs hung a folded shroud like a towel, holding the Big-Head zombie's body in one hand and dragging two mutated dogs in the other.
As the highest combat power in the entire team.
Wu Heng had planned from the beginning to send him outside to kill this Big-Head zombie.
Otherwise, if they engaged head-on and the zombies were at a disadvantage, the Big-Head zombie would turn and run, making it hard to catch him.
If it then brought the horde back for revenge, it would be even more troublesome.
Fortunately, things went smoothly this time.
Bagdong killed it directly.
Looking at the corpse thrown in front of him.
Wu Heng was somewhat curious.
This Big-Head zombie, weak in stamina and shaky on its feet—what kind of skeleton could it be transformed into?
