Bang bang bang~!
The massive body was racing swiftly.
Each step on the ground felt like a heavy object hammering the earth.
Li Yahong’s face changed as the imposing figure charged toward her, and she subconsciously stepped back.
Wu Heng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he fixed his gaze on the rapidly approaching figure.
This guy is indeed not short on wits.
He was waiting for the Level 2 Mutant Zombies to draw out the main force from the skeletons, so he could kill his way directly to the skeletons’ rear.
As the figure neared,
Wu Heng said directly, “Skull Crusher, Blood Axe, both of you go together and make it quick.”
The two Beastman skeletons by his side, armed with weapons, squeezed out from the skeleton ranks.
They began to run, heading toward the third-level zombie.
When they were just five meters apart, Skull Crusher suddenly leaped from the ground, the Warhammer coming down from overhead.
The third-level zombie’s right fist gathered strength and swung violently at the Warhammer.
Bang~!
The deafening roar kicked up gusts of wind.
Skull Crusher stumbled back two steps upon landing, while the third-level zombie’s arm hung limply at the shoulder.
Several attempts to throw a punch were made, but there was no response from the arm.
At the same time, Blood Axe followed closely, the Battle Axe spinning in a half-circle to slash at the flank, making a ‘thud’ sound as it struck the side.
The axe blade opened a minor wound, blocked by the black keratin on the skin’s surface.
Dark red, syrupy blood slowly trickled out.
The third-level zombie let out an ear-shattering roar.
Raising its other arm, it smashed overhead.
Blood Axe dodged backward and swung the Battle Axe up toward the groin as he withdrew.
Skull Crusher continued to press forward with the attack, repeatedly hammering the Warhammer onto the mutant zombie’s limb joints.
After a brief skirmish,
the Level 3 Mutant Zombie was already covered with wounds.
Even with the protective black carapace, it couldn’t fully stop the slicing of the Battle Axe or the pounding of the Warhammer.
In contrast to a zombie that had just mutated physically,
Skull Crusher and Blood Axe were professionals with a combat system.
They not only had superior attributes, but they also possessed combat experience and techniques that the zombie lacked.
The confrontation was a one-sided crush.
Seeing its attacks to be hopeless, the third-level zombie glanced around with its massive head.
It raised its other fully functional arm, warding off the oncoming Skull Crusher.
Then it turned and ran along the road into the darkness.
Wu Heng and Li Yahong’s expressions changed at the same time.
Li Yahong quickly grabbed a walkie-talkie and shouted, “The mutant zombie has run off, everyone be careful, and don’t make any noise.”
…
Direction of the convoy.
The message came through the walkie-talkie, and everyone’s face changed abruptly.
Looking out the windows,
they saw a giant figure running wildly toward them from the fiery battlefield area.
Behind it were two other tall figures in pursuit.
Everyone’s heart skipped a beat.
They ducked, pressing their bodies low to avoid the windows.
Dammit, why is that zombie running this way?
Li Yahong’s voice came through the walkie-talkie again, “Stay quiet, the vehicles are reinforced, they can hold it off for a while, don’t get out.”
No one responded, even turning down the volume of the walkie-talkie.
The footsteps outside the vehicle grew closer, and they could feel the vibration entering the vehicle from the ground.
As the third-level zombie ran wildly, it glanced at the strange convoy of vehicles.
It then changed direction, heading toward the smallest vehicle.
…
SUV.
A few people were huddled in their seats, their faces ashen.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The Level 3 Mutant Zombie, dodging the trucks reinforced with iron plates, charged directly towards them.
A sense of impending death rose in everyone’s hearts.
Even Qi Hancai, faced with such a level of zombie, found her superpower useless; she could only hope it would just pass by.
“Big bro, stop shaking, the zombie is coming,” someone whispered.
“Sorry, I can’t control it,” another person replied.
“Stop talking, it’s coming!”
As everyone held their breath and watched in terror,
the shadow outside the window drew closer.
…
Just as the giant hand was about to grab the vehicle,
A sharp screech of claws echoed.
The people bracing for death slowly opened their eyes,
only to see a Skeleton Flying Dragon blocking the front of the SUV, flapping its wings, its claws firmly grasping the arm of the third-level zombie, violently tearing at it.
The tall figures with the long-handled Warhammer and Battle Axe had also caught up close behind.
The Warhammer came crashing down with force.

Boom~!
A loud crash echoed as the Mutated Zombie was smashed to the ground.
The Flying Dragon soared into the sky again, while two figures wielding weapons gathered on either side of the zombie.
Blow after blow, axe after axe kept falling.
The Mutated Zombie struggled fiercely, clawing at the ground, trying to crawl under the off-road vehicle.
But as soon as it moved, it was dragged back by the ankle to where it had been.
And continued to be brutally beaten.
It was like a helpless girl trying to escape the clutches of a ferocious villain.
Inside the off-road vehicle.
The few people in imminent danger didn’t show any joy.
They were lying on their seats, watching the scene outside in horror.
A Level 3 Mutant Zombie, standing four meters tall and covered in black carapace, was being beaten on the ground like it was made of mud.
When did the roles of zombies and survivors start to switch?
Zombies were no longer the predators, and survivors were no longer just prey trying to evade and flee.
Perhaps this was how the strong who survived the apocalypse should be.
…
“Leader Qi, are you alright?”
A sudden inquiry came through the walkie-talkie.
Qi Hancai’s body shuddered and he almost threw the walkie-talkie away.
He looked out the window, saw that the zombie was still being hit, then carefully pressed the button.
“I’m fine!”
“Are you injured?”
“No…” Qi Hancai looked outside again with care, his voice trembling, “The Mutated Zombie and your people, they started fighting outside, what should we do?”
Li Yahong’s voice continued to come through the walkie-talkie, “It’s okay, you won’t be in danger, stay inside the vehicle and don’t come out.”
“Alright!”
Qi Hancai lowered his stature again, signaling his subordinates to stay quiet.
…
The limbs of the Level 3 Mutated Zombie were smashed by the Warhammer.
Its back and abdomen were covered with scars left by the Battle Axe.
The black carapace provided strong defense, but still couldn’t stop the cutting of Blood Axe.
The flesh was split open, and the sight was gruesome.
Thunk~!
The Battle Axe fell squarely on its head.
Severing the already mangled neck completely.
Dark red tainted blood splattered all over the front of the off-road vehicle, and the head rolled to the side.
Two Skeleton Beastmen, one holding the head and the other grabbing the corpse’s ankles, walked towards the main battlefield.
For the people inside the off-road vehicle.
They watched through the blood-stained windows as two figures carried the corpse away.
Only then did they breathe a slight sigh of relief.
…
The battle in the main battlefield was also drawing to a close.
The Second-level Mutant Zombies were utterly smashed by the Mutated Skeletons.
And after a massacre, only about a hundred zombies remained, still launching their attacks.
But obviously, they no longer posed any real threat.
As they rushed forward, they were pierced into honeycombs by the skeletons and fell to the ground.
“Go and kill those zombies that move slowly.” Wu Heng continued to order.
The returning Big Guy and other Skeletons sprang into action once again.
They ran quickly to the bottom of a building.
And killed some zombies that had jumped off the building and broken their legs.
As the last few zombies were killed, the whole area gradually quieted down.
The roads were covered with corpses.
Scorched smell and a stench of blood filled the entire area.
“Clean up the battlefield, pile all the corpses together.” Wu Heng commanded.
All the Skeletons immediately sprang into action.
They carried corpses or collected Iron Spears and Crossbow Arrows.
At this time, two Mutated Corpses were also dragged in front of him.
Li Yahong came over and took out her phone, taking photos of the Level 3 Mutated Corpse.
She said, “This must be an evolved zombie, I’ll report it to the headquarters so everyone can also understand the attack style of this kind of zombie.”
This kind of zombie should have evolved from giant zombies.
Their appearance and attack characteristics were very similar.
No matter how you looked at it, they seemed to be of the same type.
“Mhm, the features are strength and a not-so-low intelligence.”
After Li Yahong finished taking photos, Wu Heng ordered the bodies to be dragged behind the building.
Avoiding the view from the off-road vehicle, he consecutively cast “Bone Manipulation Skill”.
Necromancy Magic began to envelop the bodies slowly.
Flesh fell off, and the large and broad white bones slowly rose to their feet.
