Free Web NovelChapter 104: Chapter 102: Berserk Zombie Saga
Everyone was shocked when a zombie suddenly rushed out and leaped onto the wall. It was holding a knife and, what’s more, it was incredibly fast.
The two fighters who reacted first aimed their guns at the Mutant Zombie.
BANG!~
BANG!~
Two gunshots rang out. The fighters hit the Mutant Zombie, but their aim clearly wasn’t good enough—they hadn’t hit its head.
Then, something shocking happened.
The zombie brandished its knife, rapidly closing in on the two fighters. It attacked them with methodical swings of its blade.
It was like some kind of blade art.
The two fighters instinctively dodged, but they weren’t fast enough. Their throats were slit, and they collapsed unwillingly.
"It’s a Mutant Zombie," Lin Jiao cried out in alarm.
And it wasn’t just a simple mutation; it clearly possessed some intelligence. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have known to aim specifically for the throat.
Lin Jiao immediately raised her laser rifle and aimed at the Mutant Zombie.
A laser beam instantly struck the knife-wielding Mutant Zombie’s shoulder, piercing through its arm.
She had been aiming for its head, but her marksmanship clearly still wasn’t up to par.
Just then, another gunshot rang out, and a bullet pierced straight through the Mutant Zombie’s head.
Lu Feng had decisively seized the opportunity to fire, taking out the Mutant Zombie with a direct headshot.
During this period, a Mutant Zombie’s head was still its weak point.
[Congratulations! You have killed a Mutant Zombie and gained 150 EXP!]
Following the prompt, an object wrapped in a ball of white light floated up from the corpse of the knife-wielding Mutant Zombie.
It had dropped something.
The others couldn’t see the dropped item and had no reaction at all.
BOOM!~
Before Lu Feng could think further, a violent explosion suddenly rang out.
A section of the perimeter wall collapsed, kicking up a cloud of dust. A ferocious, obese zombie charged in—it was the one that had smashed through the wall.
A nearby fighter immediately yelled, "Another Mutant Zombie! We need support!"
The words had barely left his mouth when the resounding CRASH of collapsing walls was heard again, one after another.
In an instant, three more ferocious, obese zombies charged in, identical to the first one.
Moreover, their strength was astonishing; they had effortlessly smashed through the residential complex’s perimeter wall.
One fighter was even caught in the way, sent flying a great distance by the impact. He rolled on the ground, spitting up blood.
Lu Feng’s brow furrowed as he witnessed this scene.
There were only about two hundred zombies here, yet five of them had been Mutant Zombies.
That was a very high ratio.
Something was very wrong.
Then, he recalled a plotline from the game.
The "Frenzied Zombie Tide" Chapter.
It was during this Chapter that the City East Alliance suffered a massive blow, then fractured and fled.
Celestial Sea City transformed from being solely dominated by the City East Alliance into a land of warring factions. The various Survivor Bases frantically absorbed the Alliance’s survivors and resources, rapidly growing stronger.
And the "Frenzied Zombie Tide" Chapter began with zombies becoming more agitated and the number of Mutant Zombies increasing.
When the six-tentacled Hexagonal Beast (Chapter 87) appeared, that was when the true crisis would begin.
"Damn it, they’re all Mutant Zombies! Where did so many come from?" Lin Jiao roared, once again raising her laser rifle and firing at one of the Mutant Zombies.
Chen Tao and Chen Hao, who also had laser rifles, joined in, firing at the obese zombies.
Unfortunately, laser rifles were rare, and firing them was different from using old-fashioned rifles. The three of them hadn’t had the laser rifles for long and hadn’t had a chance to train with them.
So, even though the three of them kept aiming for the heads of the four obese Mutant Zombies, they still couldn’t score a headshot and could only hinder their advance.
However, this provided the perfect setup for Lu Feng.
BANG!
~BANG~!~
...
Lu Feng, a gun in each hand, fired continuously at the obese Mutant Zombies. Every single shot was a headshot.
In an instant, the four obese Mutant Zombies fell to the ground one after another.
[Congratulations! You have killed an Obese Zombie. EXP +150 x4!]
After killing these four Mutant Zombies, Lu Feng received four more notifications and gained 600 EXP.
But his brow was tightly furrowed.
For these frenzied zombies to appear near his base, and with such a high proportion of Mutant Zombies, it was possible that the origin point of the game’s "Mutant Zombie Tide" Chapter was near their base.
Although the City East Alliance was the one that took the hit at the end of this game Chapter, if this were true, there was no guarantee his Qingfeng Base wouldn’t be affected.
This was a very bad situation.
’I’ll have to pay close attention to this matter from now on.’
Then, Lu Feng looked at the corpses of the four obese Mutant Zombies. They had also dropped items, and several balls of light were floating above them.
As before, the people around him couldn’t see this light.
Seeing that the four obese Mutant Zombies had been dealt with, Lin Jiao let out a sigh of relief. She immediately shouted again, "Clean up the rest of the zombies!"
With these few Mutant Zombies eliminated, the remaining normal zombies were no longer a threat.
For a time, the base was filled with the sound of gunfire as the fighters continuously eliminated the other zombies.
Finally, everything grew quiet. With weapons, an equal number of humans could easily eliminate the zombies.
Lin Jiao immediately began directing people to patch up the sections of the wall that had been destroyed by the obese Mutant Zombies.
Lu Feng, however, with a mere thought, retrieved the steel knife from his inventory space. He walked over to the corpse of the knife-wielding Mutant Zombie, cut open its head, and began digging out the Crystal Core inside.
These Crystal Cores were very special. They were extremely hard and wouldn’t be damaged even if hit by a bullet.
While digging out the Crystal Core, he also discreetly collected the dropped item into his inventory space.
After digging the Crystal Core out of the knife-wielding zombie’s head, he walked over to the four obese Mutant Zombies. He did the same, digging into their heads while discreetly collecting the dropped items into his inventory space.
Soon, he had excavated the Crystal Cores from all four obese Mutant Zombies and moved to the side to clean them.
Just then, Lin Jiao came forward to report, "Boss, something’s wrong with the zombies lately. The ones that appeared before were already very agitated. This time, not only are they agitated, but there’s also such a high proportion of Mutant Zombies. There must be a reason for this. If we don’t find it, I’m afraid our base will never have a moment’s peace."
"Mm," Lu Feng nodded. He thought so too.
Then, he took out three of the five Crystal Cores and tossed one each to Lin Jiao and the approaching Chen Tao and Chen Hao.
He had already checked the energy levels of these five Crystal Cores; they were all between 12 and 13.
A single Crystal Core was enough to fully recharge a laser rifle six times.
Laser rifles were extremely powerful against Mutant Zombies and Mutant Beasts. If Lin Jiao and the other two weren’t so terrible with their aim, he probably wouldn’t have even needed to act this time. The three of them could have taken care of the Mutant Zombies on their own.
Giving each of them a Crystal Core now was a way to ensure the base’s defensive capabilities.
Lin Jiao, Chen Tao, and Chen Hao were naturally overjoyed.
Laser rifles were great things—powerful, but their only downside was that they needed to be recharged. They were always worried about running out of energy with no way to replenish it.
Now that the boss had generously given them a Crystal Core, it was a pleasant surprise. With the laser rifles in their hands, they felt much more confident. frёeωebɳovel.com
Lu Feng then looked into his inventory space and took out the items that had dropped.
A look of surprise appeared on his face after he used his game’s inspection skill to view the item information. The zombies had actually dropped some good stuff.
