Chapter 68: Chapter 68, Big Head Zombie_l
Li Yahong watched in surprise at the scene unfolding before her.
It was her first time observing a battle between skeletons and corpses.
The sight was horrendously bloody.
A severed arm of a zombie hung in the rib cage of a skeleton, while zombies ferociously bit the skeletons’ ribs.
The shocking visual, was stronger than anything in a movie.
Survivors who lived through this had already adapted to the physical and mental strains of this apocalyptic environment.
Still, the current events induced a chilling dread.
Wu Heng once again released the “Grease Skill,” igniting a blazing fire. The zombie’s attack became more ferocious, like incoming tidal waves, constantly smashing into the skeleton’s formation.
The skeletons were also relentlessly retaliating, repeatedly killing the charging zombies.
The boundary between the two camps gradually formed a line composed of corpses and bones.
Just as Wu Heng thought that everything would be okay if they continued to resist,
Suddenly, the attacking zombies underwent a change.
Groups of zombies evaded the fire in front, even bypassing the position of spear soldiers, flanking on both sides, launching intense attacks.
Like a ceaselessly contracting compressor, squeezing the skeleton group from both sides.
At the same time, zombies also rushed into the passageways of buildings on both sides, broke windows, and jumped directly into the center of the skeleton formation from above.
While crushing a bunch of skeletons underneath, they began to engage in combat.
In an instant, the skeletons became disorganized.
Wu Heng and Li Yahong watched the scene before them in surprise.
The zombies were beginning to use tactics.
How was this possible?
“There must be something influencing these zombies.”
Wu Heng’s gaze quickly scanned the entire battlefield, seeking the reason for the sudden change in the zombies.
He had battled with zombies many times.
If zombies had tactics, he would not have survived till now.
There must be some problem somewhere.
As Wu Heng scanned, his eyes suddenly focused.
At the rear end of the zombies.
A small group of zombies surrounded a peculiar zombie.please visit ” sitestorys(.)c0m ” maybe y0u will enj0y the captivating sh0rt st0ries.
Its size was no different than a human’s, but the oversized head looked oddly grotesque.
Like an inverted gourd, placed on a person’s head
“That’s a Commanding Zombie,” Li Yahong suddenly said beside him.
“What Commanding Zombie?”
“Radio broadcasts describe specific traits of zombies, stating that one called the Commanding Zombie has a distinctively large head, and it can control a certain number of zombies,” Li Yahong quickly explained.
Wu Heng understood.
In other words, the actions of these zombies were being controlled by this bigheaded zombie.
To change the situation, they needed to kill this big-headed zombie.
But it was clever enough to stay at a distance, beyond the range of skills and handguns.
“Bawudong, can you kill it?” Wu Heng asked.
Bawudong looked around and slipped into the building behind him.
Then, with a loud bang.
Broke through the glass on the third floor, leaped directly out of the range of the majority of zombies.
Using his fists and feet together, he sent nearby zombies flying.
Then he charged towards the location of the big-headed zombie.
The big-headed zombie had special abilities, but not much guts.
Seeing the towering skeleton getting closer and closer, it became somewhat uneasy.
Zombies around started to hinder the approaching Bawudong, but were all knocked flying.
The big-headed zombie slowly backed away.
Intending to retreat, it moved slowly and seemed unsteady, teetering and tottering as it walked.
In haste, an ordinary zombie crouched down and hoisted the big-headed zombie on its back.
Then turned and fled into the distance.
The moment the big-headed zombie fled, the attacking horde of zombies instantly became disorganized.
Immediately, Wu Heng gave the order, “Attack.”
With a loud crash ~!
The skeletons charged out from their original position and directly pounced on the retreating horde of zombies.
In an instant, chaos ensued again.
Big Guy Skeleton, rushing to the front, wielding his arms nonstop, chased after the zombies with other skeletons.
The skeletons clung tightly to the back of the zombie horde, sticking to them like a plaster, pressing even tighter as they retreated.
As if they had resolved to run away, the zombies didn’t look back and fled into the distance.
Only when they were attacked would they stop and retaliate.
Li Yahong followed the skeletons and rushed forward.
Her mind was still in a whirl.
Chasing after the horde of corpses to fight?
That wasn’t necessary, was it?
Meanwhile, Wu Heng followed behind, glancing at his panel.
[Level 4 (6454/6500)]
” Chase them!” Wu Heng continued to shout.
Ahead, zombies carrying Big Head Zombie were fleeing, with Bawudong pursuing from behind.
Behind Bawudong was the fleeing zombie horde, and behind the horde were skeletons holding kitchen knives, their bones clattering as they ran.
They ran in a large group along the road.
[Gain Experience +4.]
[Your level has increased to Level 5, Intelligence +i, Constitution +i, unlocking proficiency in Arcane Training, spiritual power has increased.]
Finally reached level five.
Wu Heng was overjoyed and immediately issued an order, “Defense!” Whoosh!
The advancing skeletons stopped the chase and began attacking the zombies rushing out from both sides of the lane.
Having chased down this path, they couldn’t even see the hospital anymore.
If they continued chasing, they wouldn’ t know where they would end up.
After killing the Zombies who rushed out from the lanes, Bawudong walked back from a distance.
Looking back at the direction he came from, it seemed he had made a small detour to avoid the zombies behind him.
But he failed to kill Big Head Zombie.
He had to be more cautious in the future; their abilities were too strange.
Wu Heng gestured and the skeletons began to tidy up the scene, carrying the corpses back the way they came.
Hospital.
There were no traces of zombies in the yard in front of the building.
They entered the registration hall.
Some zombies scattered about were all killed by the skeletons.
Wu Heng looked around and asked, “What can we loot from the hospital?” Li Yahong replied, “Medicines. Medicines are important at this time. Also, alcohol. We need alcohol to disinfect when obtaining the Corpse Core.” Hmm…
“Besides the medicine?”
“Aside from the medicine? Maybe some equipment!”
Wu Heng nodded and turned his gaze to Xiao Xiao, asking, “Xiao Xiao, where
are the survivors you mentioned?”
“Upstairs.”
“Let’s go check it out.”
They went upstairs and entered the storeroom that Xiao Xiao described.
The door was wide open, filled with cluttered items and traces of blood.
Walking in with the skeletons, the sound of crushed medicine bottles and paper boxes echoed under their feet.
“See where that radio is?” Wu Heng said.
Li Yahong nodded and began to search around.
Just as the two were looking around.
Clang-!
A sudden noise made everyone turn their heads abruptly.
Wu Heng gestured to Basen, who went over and moved away the pile of debris.
There beneath was a piece of equipment resembling a freezer.
“Open it!”
Screech-!
As the cover was lifted, a girl clad in a nurse’s uniform was curled up inside.
Before she could speak, she spotted the skull leaning in to look at her.
In an instant, her eyes widened in extreme despair.
