Chapter 54 Giant Infected

"Holy shit..."

When Wang Lan saw the giant infected person, he couldn't help but swear.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a tall creature, and he didn't even know if it could be considered human. Its arms were thicker than his thighs, and it was only wearing underwear. It waved its huge hand and reached out to grab Wang Lan.

Wang Lan heard the whooshing sound of the wind and immediately dodged to the side. However, the giant infected was surprisingly fast. Before Wang Lan could stop, the infected had already pounced on him again. Wang Lan could only roll to the side once more, while gripping the Vajra Umbrella tightly, ready to fight back at any moment.

He saw that the giant infected's face was covered in blood and bits of flesh. He didn't know if the chewing sound he had just heard came from this infected. But since this was the forbidden zone of the final fortress, how could such a terrifying thing be allowed to appear?

Wang Lan was very puzzled. This giant infected seemed to be much stronger than the ordinary infected in terms of size, speed, and strength. Even just looking at its muscles, it exuded a strong sense of oppression.

Could it be that the infected are truly products of the final fortress?

Wang Lan seemed even more certain of this conjecture.

The giant infected's attack was swift and fierce, giving him no chance to counterattack. He could only retreat repeatedly, but he suddenly noticed that the giant infected's body trembled violently, and when it pounced again, its speed was much faster!

Wang Lan was dumbfounded. For some reason, the image of the Ghost Step skill suddenly flashed through his mind, because the speed increase of this giant infected was too similar to Ghost Step!

However, Wang Lan's Ghost Step skill was still on cooldown and could not be used at the moment. After the giant infected increased its speed, it really gave Wang Lan a headache. He felt powerless to deal with it in an instant and barely dodged it several times. The infected's big hands swung around and made his clothes flutter.

Wang Lan gritted his teeth. This time, when the giant infected rushed towards him, he didn't dodge. He just grabbed the Vajra Umbrella and swung it out.

The giant infected creature's large hand also grabbed over.

But Wang Lan was faster. The tip of his Vajra Umbrella sliced ​​across the chest of the giant infected, tearing open his flesh and revealing the tissue inside. However, the giant hand also struck him, sending him flying.

"Wow!"

Wang Lan spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, and rolled to the side of Sun Muchen and Lao Zhang.

"Wang Lan!"

"elder brother!"

The two quickly helped Wang Lan up.

Wang Lan said, "We need to leave quickly; there's a very strange giant infected!"

Old Zhang said, "We were almost attacked by two infected people wearing black combat suits just now!"

"Black combat suits?" Wang Lan suddenly realized, "Are they from the final fortress?"

Sun Muchen and Lao Zhang nodded repeatedly.

The next moment, the roar of the giant infected rang out.

The group immediately looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw two people staggering out of the red mist, wearing the insignia of the Final Fortress combat uniform, their faces covered in blood.

Wang Lan was speechless for a moment. Just as he was about to raise the Vajra Umbrella to sweep at the two of them, he heard the voice of the giant infected person ring out again.

The enormous creature burst out of the red mist, grabbed the two people in combat uniforms, lowered its head, and bit off their heads one by one, chewing them incessantly.

Sun Muchen quickly closed his eyes, not daring to look.

Old Zhang was already feeling nauseous and uncomfortable from the red mist, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't hold back any longer and vomited.

Only Wang Lan stared wide-eyed.

As the giant infected continued to devour the two of them, Wang Lan vaguely noticed that the wound on the giant infected's chest had begun to heal!

Bloodlust skill!

Recover your own damage by dealing damage to the enemy.

This is exactly the same as the Bloodlust skill!

The giant infected had already completely devoured the other two infected. It still licked the bits of flesh and blood from its mouth with its long tongue, seemingly unsatisfied. Wang Lan noticed that its muscles seemed to have swelled up a bit more, and the grayish-white color of its skin had deepened.

Giant infected appear to evolve through feeding.

The thought flashed through Wang Lan's mind.

Then he saw the giant infected rushing towards them.

Sun Muchen immediately pulled out her gun and fired wildly. Her marksmanship was indeed excellent; every shot hit the giant infected, but none hit the head.

It was unclear whether the red mist was obstructing his vision, but Sun Muchen couldn't see clearly.

"Aim and fire!"

Wang Lan shouted something and then rushed forward.

However, Sun Muchen's shooting slowed down the giant infected's advance, and Wang Lan took advantage of this opening to fly up and kick the giant infected in the chin. After landing, she swung the Vajra Umbrella in her hand and hit the giant infected in the leg with tremendous force.

Boom!

The sound of bones breaking rang out immediately. Wang Lan turned around and swung his umbrella again, breaking the neck of the giant infected creature. Its huge head immediately drooped down, but it still let out a strange roar from its throat.

"Aim for the head!"

Wang Lan moved aside and shouted at Sun Muchen.

With a loud "bang," a dazzling flash of light erupted from the muzzle, and the bullet burst out of the barrel, instantly leaving a bloody ripple before striking the giant infected man squarely between the eyebrows!

The giant infected man fell backward to the ground.

Wang Lan walked over and looked at the giant infected creature, and Sun Muchen followed.

The two looked down and saw something wriggling violently inside the giant infected's mouth. Wang Lan frowned and looked closely, bending down, when suddenly he heard a hiss.

Suddenly, several tentacles with fangs and sharp spikes emerged from the infected person's mouth, startling Wang Lan. He quickly picked up the Golden Umbrella and stuck it into his mouth, but the tentacles twisted even more violently and even adhered to the leaves of the Golden Umbrella, making it impossible for Wang Lan to pull them out.

"Old Zhang! A Molotov cocktail!"

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang wiped the remaining juice from his mouth, lit a Molotov cocktail, and threw it into the mouth of the giant infected.

The fire ignited the giant infected's head, and the tentacles, seemingly terrified of the flames, retreated from the Vajra Umbrella and went back into its mouth. Wang Lan seized the opportunity to pull out the Vajra Umbrella and pulled Sun Muchen backward.

With a loud "boom," the Molotov cocktail was crushed by the tentacles, and the flames suddenly surged.

"There shouldn't be any threat now."

Wang Lan withdrew her gaze and looked at Lao Zhang, "Let's continue forward!"

He had a gut feeling that there was a secret related to the final fortress hidden in this forbidden zone. As for what that secret was, perhaps it lay at the bottom of this gentle slope, and he would have to explore it himself.

Unexpectedly, Old Zhang did not back down. He simply rubbed his temples and nodded, saying, "We've come this far, how can we turn back? Let's go."

The three hit it off immediately and continued walking down.
