Tier 2 Zombies Appear

Everyone stared in utter shock.

Because the man's heart had been shattered, even after death, he would not turn into a zombie.

The other zombies surged forward.

And began feasting on the delicious meal!

Everyone else's eyes reddened.

Filled with immense grief and fury, they continued fighting the zombies!

"Watch out!"

Just as another person was about to be bitten by a zombie.

Xu Ruoxi suddenly arrived with the main force!

"Everyone, spread out immediately."

"Fire!"

With one hand, Xu Ruoxi pulled the woman who had nearly been bitten behind her.

Then she gave the order.

Rat-a-tat-tat—

Over ten thousand people opened fire at once.

The dense bullets fell like rain, mowing down waves upon waves of zombies!

The terrain here was narrow.

It was inconvenient to use area-of-effect weapons.

But the guns alone were enough to make these zombies suffer!

"Y-You... who are you? Did you come to save us?"

"Wuwuwu, thank heavens, I don't have to die!"

"Which shelter are you from? How are you so powerful?"

The group that had been fighting desperately for so long.

Now watched the soldiers who had descended from the sky, tears of joy streaming down their faces.

A chance at life in the face of certain death!

The overwhelming firepower gave them hope of survival.

Under the Resident Combat Team's cover.

After taking a brief rest, the group picked up their cleavers and joined the battle once more.

"Use this!"

Xu Ruoxi tossed spare firearms to the people beside her.

Cleavers were simply too short.

Fighting zombies hand-to-hand carried a high risk of injury.

"Thank you!"

Those who received the guns were overwhelmed with gratitude.

They thanked her again and again.

But Xu Ruoxi merely said coldly, "If you want to thank someone, thank our commander."

"Your commander is...?"

Rat-a-tat-tat—

The gunfire drowned out every question.

Under the Resident Combat Team's firepower.

This Zombie Tide did not last long.

The battle was over in ten minutes!

The First Regiment maintained formation, vigilantly watching their surroundings.

The Second Regiment stepped forward with practiced ease.

They cut open the zombies' chests and removed the Energy Cores.

The surviving group finally let out a sigh of relief.

Watching the combat team's actions, they all asked in confusion.

"What are you digging out?"

Xu Ruoxi answered concisely, "These are Energy Cores."

"If you have Energy Cores, you can bring them to our Star-Level Shelter to exchange for supplies."

Star-Level Shelter!

Hearing that name, the leading man's pupils constricted.

No wonder, no wonder their combat strength was so formidable!

The man wiped the blood from his face and held out a hand to Xu Ruoxi. "Thank you for making a move to help us. My name is Jiang Tiancai."

"No need. The commander sent me here to rescue you."

Xu Ruoxi did not take his hand, replying indifferently.

Jiang Tiancai was clearly taken aback.

The commander of the Star-Level Shelter?

Could it be someone he had known before?

Seeing that Xu Ruoxi did not seem willing to talk further, Jiang Tiancai simply fell silent as well.

Since the Star-Level Shelter people had saved them, they certainly would not just abandon them.

Once they followed the main force back

to the Star-Level Shelter, he could find a chance to ask!

After all the zombies' Energy Cores had been dug out, the Resident Combat Team rested on the spot for a while before continuing their return journey.

Five Armored Cars drove at the very front.

Truck after truck followed closely behind, forming a long convoy!

Jiang Tiancai stared fixedly at the lead Armored Car, his eyes filled with shock!

"The Star-Level Shelter's armed forces have actually reached this level!"

"I thought West City Shelter having firearms already made it invincible. Looks like I was still too young."

"The commander of the Star-Level Shelter is probably no ordinary person!"

Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of Jiang Tiancai and his group.

For the rest of the journey, they barely encountered any zombies.

After a full day of fighting, the Resident Combat Team fighters finally relaxed.

They leaned against the sides of the trucks to rest.

Just then, the lead Armored Car suddenly braked hard.

The long line of trucks behind it also slammed on their brakes, nearly crashing into one another.

"What happened?"

Xu Ruoxi's question came through the radio.

A soldier's trembling voice answered, "Th-there's something blocking the road ahead!"

The Armored Cars' screens could be shared.

Xu Ruoxi immediately saw

that there really was something blocking the convoy!

It looked like a zombie, but not entirely.

Aside from their rotting bodies, zombies still retained human forms.

But the monster standing before the Armored Car had already lost all resemblance to a human.

Its mouth split all the way to its ears.

Its fingers, which should have been distinct, had grown webbing that connected all five digits.

It moved on all fours, its head covered in festering wounds.

"Hissss—"

The monster let out a strange sound.

In a flash, it vanished from everyone's sight!

When they saw it again, it was already crouched atop a pickup truck.

Its sharp claws stabbed down fiercely.

They pierced straight through the pickup!

The people inside narrowly dodged the monster's claws.

"What is that thing?" Xu Ruoxi's pupils constricted.

Without any hesitation.

Xu Ruoxi immediately transmitted the footage back to the Command Room.

Then she promptly shouldered her weapon and got out of the vehicle.

This monster was far too fast and powerful.

Staying inside the vehicle was no different from waiting to die.

She might as well get out and take a chance!

Li Chen saw the monster's footage as well.

A grave look appeared on his face!

Having been reborn, Li Chen recognized it at a glance: this monster was a Tier 2 Zombie!

But before Li Chen could say anything.

A shocking scene appeared on the surveillance feed.

Around seven or eight Tier 2 Zombies emerged at once.

They completely surrounded the members of the Resident Combat Team.

Like cats toying with mice.

They were in no hurry to enjoy their meal.

Instead, they occasionally charged into the crowd to attack.

They were so fast that most people were snatched away before they could even react.

Riiip—

While still in midair, those who had been seized were torn in half!

Quite a few people hid inside the trucks in panic, not daring to move.

However.

A truck's defenses were practically nonexistent against Tier 2 Zombies!

Their sharp claws easily tore through the trucks' metal panels.

Revealing the terrified people inside.

Drip.

Drip.

A Tier 2 Zombie's saliva dripped onto the people's heads.

"Ah!"

A scream rang out as the zombies moved.

In just a few breaths.

The entire Resident Combat Team had already lost dozens of fighters!

After wolfing down their prey.

The Tier 2 Zombies' eerie green eyes turned toward Xu Ruoxi.

To zombies.

The higher a human's attributes, the more nourishing they were.

As the strongest person in the team, Xu Ruoxi naturally became their target.

Fortunately, Xu Ruoxi was skilled enough.

The moment she sensed the sound of wind by her ear.

She immediately rolled across the ground.

Dodging the Tier 2 Zombie's attack!

"Return to the Armored Car immediately! Set up crossfire cover and wait for me!"

Li Chen immediately gave the order over the radio.

At that moment, the Resident Combat Team was only three kilometers from the shelter.

A helicopter could get there quickly.

Li Chen set off at once!

Meanwhile.

Xu Ruoxi did not hesitate either.

With a few swift leaps, she jumped into the Armored Car.

Then slammed the door shut.
