Zombies Are Really Strong
It's impossible that everything in the world is actually abstract, right?
Upon arriving at the first floor, I killed two zombies along the way, one LV1 and the other LV4, both of which had cores inside.
The size and purity of the core differ between different levels of zombies.
The higher the purity, the higher the Pollution.
"People in this world can evolve by absorbing core energy. Tsk tsk, how cruel."
After leaving the building, he took a few steps forward with his knife when suddenly... a suppressed roar came from behind.
Looking over there, I saw a creature over 4 meters tall, mostly rotting, walking unsteadily. Even before I got close, a stench was already overwhelming.
Miss Combat Number 10 gripped her weapon tightly.
She felt that this thing was probably quite powerful, but she wasn't sure if she could defeat it.
Just then, the monster suddenly moved, its gaze falling on its lower left corner.
"Ah!"
A gasp came from the other side, followed by a man wearing glasses and a white coat running out, leading a little girl of about ten years old. Behind him were two other men and one woman, one of the men holding a gun.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The pistol fired repeatedly, and blood gushed out from the giant zombie's body, accompanied by a shrill scream.
After letting out a few painful cries, its eyes turned bloodshot, and it chased after the group of people.
"Damn it, how could such a monster appear in this place? I checked it before!" The bespectacled man in the white coat cursed as he ran.
The girl behind him looked terrified.
"This is troublesome; pistols have limited damage against monsters."
The man fired several shots before running out of bullets.
As the creature drew closer, the man in the white coat running at the front suddenly spotted Battle Number 10.
Such a stunningly beautiful girl stood silently amidst the ruins, with the devastated city behind her. The scene, like a painting, caused his consciousness to momentarily cease.
This is absolutely a painting full of artistic conception.
Once he came to his senses, the man in the white coat's expression immediately turned even more unpleasant.
"Run!" he shouted to Miss Battle Number 10, "This monster is very strong."
As they drew closer, the man in the white coat, without thinking twice, reached out to grab the girl and try to take her away.
But at that very moment, the girl drew the sword from her waist, and with a whoosh, held it horizontally in front of her.
Then... as if she were a ghost, she leaped up lightly, jumped over the ruins on the left, landed lightly, and then jumped onto the wall next to her like a swallow. With a light step, she swung the knife in her hand.
A terrifying power burst forth from her delicate body.
A cold mist suddenly filled the air.
Click!
The fog froze.
The area within ten meters in front of the girl was instantly submerged by countless interconnected shards of ice.
The white ice block contained many hollows, and right in the center of it was the enormous zombie monster.
Puff!
With her slender arms outstretched, the girl leaped lightly, flying over the zombie's head.
With its head facing downwards, the tip of the blade sliced along the zombie's abdomen to its head, then gently grazed the top of its head.
Puff--
As the girl landed, a long spray of blood erupted, and the zombie's body instantly snapped in two.
After landing, a gust of wind blew, causing her long black hair and jet-black dress to flutter.
Her slender legs, clad in black pantyhose, were spotless, without a trace of blood.
"Nailed it."
Miss Number 10 didn't expect that completing all of this would be so easy.
Her combat power is naturally inferior to that of bullets; the main reason she can suppress them is due to Pollution.
Yes, that pistol is a purely technological tool and lacks the ability to suppress the forces of Pollution.
As Hidden One, my power is more or less Pollution.
Chapter 145 Zombies are really strong
At this moment, everyone present was stunned, standing there blankly.
The girl who appeared before them easily killed a giant zombie that had evolved into a very powerful form with just a simple knife.
With graceful movements and exquisite figure, she seemed not to belong to this world, standing silently in front of the corpse.
Zombie blood dripped down the silver blade.
This scene left the man in the white coat speechless for a long time.
"Is this... still human?"
She's just a young girl, yet she can display such amazing skills.
The body's strength surpasses that of zombies whose physical structure has undergone significant changes due to the virus.
The man holding the pistol was completely stunned.
He glanced down at the gun in his hand, recalling the girl's graceful killing moves, and felt a moment of disorientation.
At this moment, Battle Number 10 raised his hand and flicked it, putting the blade back into its sheath.
The researcher in the white coat swallowed hard and walked up.
"Thanks."
He had no idea what to say after hearing just two simple words.
"Um."
Combat Number 10 simply nodded indifferently.
"Big sister is so cool."
The little girl, her eyes sparkling, looked at the beautiful girl in black with adoration as the man in the white coat held her hand.
For the first time, she felt a sense of admiration for someone.
The two men and one woman behind them also approached at this time.
"Hello, thank you so much for saving our lives. We are a refugee group heading to a safe area in the north," the gunman said.
"A refugee group?"
I read the Mystic Thread and learned some information.
Around the time the zombie crisis broke out, this group of people discovered that the city had fallen, and the authorities announced a safe zone and promised to send search and rescue teams to the surrounding area for rescue.
Unfortunately, after hiding in the small house for half a month, the rescue team still hadn't arrived, and the number of zombies in their hiding place was increasing. Left with no other choice, these people grabbed some guns and ammunition and voluntarily headed towards the safe zone.
The most interesting thing is that the man in the white coat they met on the road was a virus research expert.
Therefore, their objective has actually changed; they are now preparing to head straight to the nearby fallen virus sample storage center to see if the zombie crisis is related to it.
"If you're trying to escape, you seem to be going in the wrong direction. This place is very far from the safe zone." Miss Combat Number 10 said with a hint of a smile.
"Ahem, sorry, we were originally planning to head to the safe zone, but we needed to go to a certain place along the way."
"Where?"
"There is a virus repository at the West City Second Hospital. This gentleman used to be a doctor and later went to a professional laboratory to conduct virus research. He believes that this crisis is likely related to the leak from the local virus repository."
"Hello."
The man in the white coat looked slightly embarrassed.
"Well, since you're going there, let me go with you. I also want to know what happened this time," Battle Number 10 suggested.
"This is wonderful," the man with the gun said with delight.
"There are a lot of zombies in this area. As we came here, I could clearly feel that they were becoming more and more troublesome." The researcher in the white coat patted the little girl's head and sighed. "I really didn't expect the world to become like this."
"Where's the army?" Battle Number 10 asked.
She found it a little strange, because the zombies she had killed weren't actually that strong.
Even the final giant zombie was actually penetrated by bullets; if a weapon with a larger caliber had been used, it could still have been killed.
The bullet's power was indeed too weak, especially considering it was fired from over thirty meters away.
The group of people looked at each other in bewilderment.
At this moment, the man in the white coat pushed up his glasses and said, "When we came here earlier, we saw two policemen who had also turned into zombies and attacked us with their rifles."
Battle Number 10: "..."
The atmosphere was a little tense.
Clearly, after all that, no one was in a good mood.
The little girl, in particular, constantly radiated fear in her eyes. Conversely, the appearance of the powerful girl, Battle Number 10, brought her a sense of reassurance.
"Let's go, don't waste time," said Battle Number 10.
"Good."
Before leaving, she walked over in front of everyone, cut open the zombie's body with a knife, and then, through a bag, took out its core.
The doctor in the white coat's pupils contracted.
"Do you recognize this?"
He thought for a moment and said, "When the first wave of zombies appeared, several police officers I knew engaged in gunfights with these creatures, but they didn't have these things in their heads back then."
Is that so?
Battle Number 10 remembers that every zombie he killed, even the LV1 ones, had at least one core in their head.
Upon noticing the girl examining the object closely, the researcher coughed again and cautioned, "The transmission methods of the zombie virus are still unclear. Besides direct blood contact, a large number of people mutate without any warning. But I don't think anything happens without a reason, so it's best to avoid this kind of thing."
"It's alright, I've seen plenty of these things on the road."
Battle Miss turned around and began to lead the way.
The people behind immediately followed.
A putrid smell would occasionally drift through the air.
"Die--"
A faint, slightly hoarse, low voice came from an alleyway on the right.
The group nervously took a few steps back and saw a zombie slowly walking out.
Click!
The zombie raised its gun and aimed it at the Battle Miss's head.
After a cryptic roar, the surrounding glass shattered with a bang, and several unfamiliar figures suddenly jumped out.
Slap! Slap!
Two bullets fell from the sky.
Clang--
Almost instantly, the girl drew her blade and, with unbelievable speed, sliced an incoming bullet in two. With a twist of her waist, she dodged the second bullet.
At that moment, the zombie standing at the entrance of the alley also opened fire.
The people behind her stared wide-eyed as the girl nimbly flashed twice, appearing in front of the zombie in an instant. Then, a puff of white mist spread out, freezing the target with a snap.
Puff!
The blade flashed, severing it in half.
