Free Web NovelChapter 28: Chapter 13: A New Weapon
Two days later, on the road leading to the West City Suburbs, a fire truck was speeding.
On the dented front, there was a broken bicycle, two street signs, a public bench, and lots of gray-brown flesh debris, all of which had once blocked its path.
"Who would have thought that such a large research institute would actually run out of rabies vaccines?"
"But it’s fine, even if you do develop rabies, by then you should have left Instance."
"Even if you do fall sick and are just a day or half a day from exiting, we can just tie you up."
"Besides, the disease can’t be taken out of Instance."
Ree Shil was talking to Mossy Mushroom, who was sulking in the co-pilot’s seat.
"..., don’t you think I’m just getting motion sickness?"
"And, did you just hear what you just said?"
Mossy Mushroom replied weakly.
If it weren’t for the need for someone to read the map, it wouldn’t have willingly sat in the most dangerous co-pilot’s seat.
[Hah...hah...hah...]
In the back row, the Zombie Beast Hound was squatting quietly, with its tongue sticking out.
After it bit Mossy Mushroom, Ree Shil beat it on the spot with an iron stick, and now it’s completely subdued.
The reason they had to take this Zombie Beast Hound on the road was actually due to a reason.
Because after they agreed to take it, they received a subtitle prompt on the panel.
[Zombie Beast Hound temporarily joined your team] freёwebnovel.com
[In PVE scenes, the character can enter the card deck]
Surprisingly, this dog could actually act as a card.
Ree Shil checked it, and it turned out to be a D-class card, which is much stronger than Straw Man’s burning garbage series.
According to Director Jones, it wouldn’t be a problem for it to fight two or three ordinary Zombie Beasts on its own.
Looking at the card panel, it’s pretty good too.
[Zombie Beast Hound]
Berserk, 30 points, D
Attack 30, 100/100
[Zombie Poison-Passive]: When attacking, can cause the target to be [Poisoned] for 2 rounds, and cannot be stacked
（[Poisoned]: Takes 5 points of damage from the next round, and [Defense] cannot be reduced.）
Cube Cards are honest, and what’s written on the card’s face is what it is.
So even when facing Zombie Beast-type cards, its [Zombie Poison] can still take effect.
Now this trip could be said to be quite smooth. They didn’t encounter a Zombie Beast rampage on the way, and following Mr. Liu’s map, they arrived at their destination in 2 hours.
H International Group base was located in a place surrounded by mountains, and it was evident that there were no Zombie Beasts here.
After parking the car and waiting for Mossy Mushroom to finish vomiting, they entered the outer gate.
"This place is doomed."
Mossy Mushroom glanced at the security post, which was empty and stained with blue light liquid.
"Just being remote isn’t enough. If the defense force is too weak, it’ll be hard to survive."
Ree Shil said as he pulled out his iron stick.
"I’m hungry, Grass." freeweɓnovel.cѳm
Straw Man was walking with a slightly buoyant step.
During this Instance, the time had exceeded expectations, and it had fewer and fewer milk tea concentrate slices left.
"Let’s just go in and search first."
Ree Shil threw a glance at the Zombie Beast Hound.
[Woof!]
The Zombie Beast Hound understood and walked to the front of the team, sniffing as it went.
It’s a dog, so it has a keen sense of smell.
It’s also a Zombie Beast, so it can detect living humans.
Following the Zombie Beast Hound, the trio entered the research institute base.
As soon as they entered the base hall, they saw a figure in a white lab coat.
Standing with their back to them, in the middle of the grand hall.
"There’s someone here."
Mossy Mushroom wanted to go greet them but was stopped by Ree Shil.
"Wait a minute."
Because he noticed that something was off with the Zombie Beast Hound.
[Grr...]
At this time, it had lowered its body, taking on an attack posture as if facing a great enemy.
It was clear that this was an enemy, and not an ordinary one at that.
[Ga...]
Sure enough, with an unpleasant-sounding voice, the "person" slowly turned around.
The withered and gray-brown skin proved that it was a Zombie Beast.
However, strangely enough, it was different from ordinary Zombie Beasts; its face was 100% intact, without any bite marks.
Then, this Zombie Beast began to split open right before their eyes.
More accurately, it should be called a skin splitting.
The cracks started from the forehead and gradually extended downward.
"Something’s wrong, take it down!"
Ree Shil, thinking of something, rushed forward with his iron stick.
"No problem, Grass!"
Straw Man followed closely behind.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Mossy Mushroom’s bullets arrived later but hit first, hitting 1 out of 6 shots, and the one that was hit was Straw Man.
"Are you blind, Grass!"
Straw Man touched his cracked skull and turned around to yell angrily.
He’s lucky he’s made of grass; even being headshot won’t kill him, and drinking two cups of milk tea will repair him.
"Don’t get distracted, damn it."
As Ree Shil reminded him, he had already arrived in front of the Zombie Beast.
At close range, he could see that its split open part exposed tender red muscle fibers.
With his hand up and the stick down, Ree Shil hit the exposed forehead.
Bam!
The Zombie Beast’s knees bent slightly, but it didn’t fall.
"Let me do it, Grass!"
Straw Man, who had caught up, threw a flying kick, sending the opponent flying more than ten meters away.
Bang!
The Zombie Beast hit the wall and cracked it like a spiderweb before falling to the ground.
However, the attack they inflicted apparently could not stop its mutation, as its entire back began to arch dramatically, as if something was about to break through from within its body.
Shleesh...
In just under 2 seconds, the white lab coat was torn apart.
Revealing a muscle-colored back.
Looking at this, the three of them knew that it was just a coincidence.
