Translator: 549690339
“Don’t come any closer, don’t come any closer-” Li Dong roared loudly, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, as he pressed the rifle against the forehead of a mutated zombie and pulled the trigger forcefully;
Bang-
The mutated zombie’s head exploded, and the stinking bodily fluids splattered all over Li Dong’s face;
Fear filled Li Dong’s heart, looking at the zombies close at hand, he didn’t even notice that a “Corpse Poison” negative status had appeared in his status bar, just like Xiao Mao’s had;
Li Dong, who had originally comprehended the “Quick Reload” passive skill, was shaking so badly now that he couldn’t load the next bullet into the rifle;
“Why, why didn’t you buy me the Detox Elixir-”
A familiar voice rang in Li Dong’s ears, and he looked up to see Xiao Mao’s pale face appearing before him;
“Xi, Xiao Mao-, bro, brother, let’s get out of here, and 1’11 buy you the Detox Elixir, really, I’m not lying to you, not lying to you!” Li Dong cried in horror as he backed away;
“Why, not buy me the Detox Elixir-” Xiao Mao kept repeating these words, swaying and pouncing towards Li Dong;
A feeling of weakness surged throughout Li Dong’s body, and it was only then that he realized he had been infected with the zombie virus as well;
Clang-
Letting go with both hands, the rifle fell to the ground, and Li Dong looked at the approaching Xiao Mao, his face suddenly revealing a bitter smile;
“Is, is this retribution?”
Roar-
Xiao Mao suddenly opened his mouth wide and lunged toward Li Dong, the Tusk Fang Stinger sinking into his neck, feeling blood gushing out;
Immediately after, the zombies behind Xiao Mao also surrounded Li Dong, constantly biting into his flesh;
“Boss, boss?”
The last remaining member of the White Tiger Gang, who was using a spear blade to cut through the Blood Pool’s net, heard Xiao Mao’s roar and looked back to see their boss being tackled to the ground by a group of zombies. His face instantly showed a look of despair;
“If we can’t live, let’s die together.”
He pulled out a backpack-sized packet of explosives from his inventory, hesitated not a bit, and fiercely pulled the fuse. Holding the package of explosives, he rushed into the zombie horde;
Boom-
With a loud bang, the zombies’ severed limbs and broken arms fell like rain. This explosion killed at least a dozen mutated zombies and cleared a large area of empty space;
The Zombie Commander was also alarmed by the explosion, and upon opening his eyes and seeing the limbs scattered everywhere, a pained expression, almost human-like, appeared on his ashen face.
Roar-
With a roar from the Commander, the seven or eight remaining mutated zombies crawled up from the ground and began to transport the corpses of the zombies on the ground, throwing them into the Blood Pool;
Xiao Mao, sucking Li Dong’s fresh blood, felt a warm current surging into his stomach, as if his whole body was filled with strength, and even his consciousness started to gradually clear up;
“Where am I? What the hell happened to me?” Xiao Mao was bewildered when suddenly, he heard a loud noise by his ear. Both of his ears were actually bleeding from the shock, and an air wave sent him and Li Dong’s corpse into midair;
Xiao Mao was like a solid rock, falling heavily to the ground, bouncing twice, and immediately fainting;
Two mutated zombies walked up to Xiao Mao, their eyes blank as they lifted him up and threw him directly into the Blood Pool;
Standing on the street across from the office building, Song Jian heard a huge roar that caused the entire building to tremble, followed by a moment of silence;
“It’s over!” Song Jian thought to himself;
At this time, the blood-web at the entrance also began to dissolve slowly, turning into a puddle of blood that flowed along the ground back to the Blood Pool;
From the entrance, Song Jian could see that only seven or eight mutated zombies were left inside, carrying the corpses of several players and throwing them into the Blood Pool;
“How come those zombies didn’t turn into black ashes?” Song Jian narrowed his eyes, noticing that the first floor lobby was littered with the corpses of dead mutated zombies, some even blown into pieces, emitting a foul smell, but these mutated zombies’ corpses didn’t turn into black ashes.
“That area seems a bit strange.” Song Jian stared at the first floor lobby, feeling that the entire space seemed to be subtly vibrating, as if the surrounding air was burning and twisting.
There were only seven or eight mutated zombies left guarding the zombie leader, and they were at their weakest at this time. Song Jian checked his pistol and double-barreled shotgun, held the Tusk Fang Stinger in his hand, and placed the Corrupt Sword at his waist in the most convenient position to draw. He quickly rushed towards the office building;
As he passed through the glass door, Song Jian felt as if he had passed through a thin layer of foam, and his skin tightened.
“Woo woo-”
The zombies that were carrying corpses froze when Song Jian entered the glass door, halted their work, and roared loudly before charging at him;
Song Jian swiftly drew his pistol, aimed at the nearest mutated zombie, and continuously pulled the trigger;
Bullets penetrated the zombie’s body, splashing dark brown blood. As his skill “Firearm Mastery (Pistol)” had been upgraded to level four, Song Jian wouldn’t face the embarrassing situation of missing his target, but hitting the head with every shot was still quite difficult;
After firing a dozen bullets, the zombie staggered but hadn’t fallen yet. Each attack only dealt single-digit damage, which surprised Song Jian;
Quickly putting away his pistol and grabbing his double-barreled shotgun, Song Jian aimed and pulled the trigger at the mutated zombie only three or four meters away from him;
Bang-
The strong impact force threw the mutated zombie back, and a large bloody hole appeared in its chest;
With this shot, all the remaining Vitality Points of the mutated zombie were depleted, and it fell to the ground, dropping an item emitting a white light;
After shooting the last shotgun shell, Song Jian held his dagger and lunged at the mutated zombie;
Swoosh swoosh swoosh-
The dagger left streaks of white light, and as it passed through a thin layer of gray mist, Song Jian felt as if he was piercing through a thick layer of cowhide. However, with his current strength of nine points, this barrier couldn’t stop him;
After continuously attacking five times, the mutated zombie’s Vitality was reduced to half, and above its head appeared a symbol of five Poison Marks;
Burst!
With a soft shout, a muffled boom suddenly erupted inside the mutated zombie’s body, and a puff of green mist exploded from it;
The Tusk Fang Stinger’s built-in Poison Nova skill could be detonated after stacking five Poison Marks, dealing over a hundred points of damage to mutated zombies;
At this point, the zombie had less than fifty Vitality Points left, and it was directly exploded by the Poison Nova, its remaining Vitality wiped out completely, and the zombie fell limp;
A look of surprise and joy appeared on Song Jian’s face. He hadn’t expected the Poison Nova to be so powerful, which increased his confidence in hunting the zombie leader.
