Chapter 373 Leader Zombie
Chapter 373 Leader Zombie
The train came to a swift stop on the tracks of the Blue Sky Base, the wheels screeching against the rails. Su Li stood by the door, her cold gaze sweeping over the battlefield below. Several breaches had been torn in the base's walls, and zombies and mutated beasts were surging in like a tide, the guards' defenses teetering on the brink of collapse.
Su Li, sword in hand, jumped off the carriage without hesitation.
A hundred meters in the air, amidst howling winds, Su Li's figure plummeted like a shooting star. The surrounding crowd screamed in terror at the sight. Some covered their eyes, unable to bear witnessing the horrific scene that might unfold.
The greatsword in his hand suddenly burst into flames, the intense heat tracing a dazzling path across the night sky. He adjusted his posture in mid-air, steadily swooping down towards the ground.
"boom--!"
With a deafening crash, Su Li slammed heavily onto the ground, sparks flying everywhere, and the surrounding zombies were thrown back by the shockwave. He smashed a crater several meters in diameter into the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Su Li slowly stood up, his flaming greatsword flashing in his hand as he instantly slashed at the elite zombie before him.
He beheaded the body with a single sword stroke, then kicked away the corpse that was rushing towards him due to inertia.
High in the sky, Su Li had already scanned the battlefield. The mixed forces of superhumans and the military were fighting desperately, but the number of zombies was simply too great, especially the four silver-level zombie leaders, whose destructive power far exceeded that of ordinary zombies. The superhumans' abilities were only slightly stronger than those of the elite zombies; they were completely helpless against the silver-level zombies.
A snap came from behind her, and Sophia landed lightly on the fifth floor, raising her gun to clear out the various elite zombies and relieve the pressure on the defenders.
Then, with a loud bang, a beam of light descended from the sky, and the dazzling beam cannon struck another silver-level zombie. Sun Lili, who had already transformed, flew in the air, controlling various light orbs to bombard a silver-level zombie whose body looked like a lump of mud.
Immediately afterwards, a halo spread out, enveloping the entire Blue Sky Base, and the defenders were surprised to find that their physical abilities had been greatly enhanced.
[There are four in total. Sophia is one, Lily is one, I'll handle the other two, Mingyu, deal with the elite zombies.]
After the opponents were identified, everyone faced their own adversaries.
Sofia stood on a high platform, her sniper rifle steadily aimed at a strangely shaped zombie in the distance.
This zombie's back was covered in sharp bone spurs, resembling a lotus seedpod, making it look extremely disgusting. Its attack method was extremely deadly; it could shoot out the bone spurs from its back like bullets, with enough force to penetrate steel plates.
Even more terrifying is that the bone spurs contain concentrated viruses. Once they hit a target, the virus will turn the enemy into a new zombie within seconds.
"Bang!" Sofia pulled the trigger, and the bullet struck the bone-spiked zombie's head precisely. However, the bullet only left a shallow dent in its skull, without causing fatal damage.
[Beneath the skin, there's a dense layer of bone? With the added magic power, its strength is a bit too high. Let's adjust the bullet's properties.] Sophia quickly adjusted her strategy, her brow furrowing slightly. This zombie's defense was a bit beyond her expectations.
The bone-spiked zombie, struck in the head, didn't fall; instead, it let out a chilling laugh. It scratched its wound with its sharp fingers, the movement filled with mockery. Then, numerous bone spiked spikes began to rapidly grow from its back, their tips gleaming coldly, all pointed towards Sophia.
Sofia calmly switched her sniper rifle to burst fire mode and shouted to the guards around her, "Everyone, get out of here immediately!"
The bone-spiked zombie's throat suddenly swelled up like a toad, its magical energy rapidly depleted, and a faint, electric-like buzzing sound emanated from the air. Then, its throat contracted sharply, and the bone spiked spikes on its back shot out like bullets, hurtling towards Sophia.
At the same time, a cold light flashed in Sophia's eyes. Her demonic eye activated, instantly revealing the trajectory of all the bone spikes. In her vision, time seemed to stretch out, and the speed of the bone spikes' flight became slow and clear.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Sophia pulled the trigger, and three bullets were fired almost simultaneously. Under the dynamic vision of her magic eye, she seemed to have entered bullet time, and the trajectory of each bullet was precisely controlled by her.
The first bullet collided with a bone spike in mid-air, both changing direction simultaneously. Then, like a domino effect, the bullets and the bone spikes whose direction had been altered by the bullets collided with each other, completely disrupting the net of bone spikes that had covered Sofia's entire body.
"Clang, clang, clang—" Numerous bone spurs grazed Sophia's body, eventually embedding themselves in the steel plate behind her with a crisp metallic clang. Sophia stood unharmed, not even a scratch on her clothes.
The bone-spiky zombie opposite it froze, its claws trembling as it raised them uneasily, a low growl emanating from its throat. Clearly, it couldn't comprehend what had just happened. It could accept Sophia dodging its attack, but the way Sophia had neutralized its fatal blow was too fantastical, completely beyond its comprehension.
"Oh, it's become intelligent?" Sophia narrowed her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips. From the bone-spiked zombie's reaction, she could tell that this zombie not only possessed powerful attack capabilities but also a degree of intelligence.
The zombie suddenly arched its back, like a spiny dragon. Only then did the guards realize that the zombie also had a long tail.
The bone-spiked zombie held its hands in front of itself, with numerous bone spiked bones continuously growing from its arm bones, eventually fusing together to form a bone shield.
After securing its frontal defenses, the bone-spiked zombie's tail stood erect. Then, its outer skin split open, revealing its internal spine. Immediately afterward, the top of the spine also split open.
It lowered its head, its spine straight, like a long track.
Then, blue lightning appeared on his spine, and the layers of lightning emitted a sharp sound like birdsong.
Then the long bone nail on his tail was placed on his spine.
Everything was ready. The bone-spiked zombie suddenly spread its arms, pointing its spine at Sophia. How were you going to intercept this electromagnetically powered shot?!
