The road was clear until about 2 kilometers from the residential area, when the number of zombies on the road began to increase.

"Let's stop here. I need to do a test."

Huang Zhao looked at a small group of zombies not far ahead and said.

Qin Yi slowly brought the heavy truck to a stop, and more than a dozen zombies that heard the noise immediately surrounded him.

The zombies coming from the outside of the truck were all level zero zombies, their large, healthy heads crashing into the front of the heavy truck.

This stopped Qin Yi from getting out of the car to clear out the zombies.

Looking at the dozen or so zombies surrounding the heavy truck, Huang Zhao began to focus his mind.

He fired a shot at one of the female zombies.

A mental shock!

A strike containing half the full power of a level three mental ability user struck a zombie squarely in the head.

The zombie that was hit stopped abruptly and fell straight to the ground without any reaction.

The zombie's spirit had been completely destroyed by the mental shock just now.

'It actually worked!'

Although zombies are brainless, it only means they lack intelligence.

The zombie's mind is filled with the desire to kill and eat, and it is clear that it also has independent consciousness.

This was confirmed when Huang Zhao first awakened; Huang Zhao never wanted to experience that feeling of becoming Abba again.

Having confirmed the test results, Huang Zhao became more confident about this operation to hunt down the mutants.

Take out another small logistics drone from the supernatural space.

After a simple adjustment, the pilot flew towards the residential area two kilometers away, to the location where the mutant had last appeared.

At the same time, he said to Qin Yi through the mental connection:

"Brother Yi, I'll lure the mutants over here in a bit, and other zombies might follow."

"You reverse the heavy truck, and we'll fish this mutant out on its own."

Having confirmed that Qin Yi had received the message, Huang Zhao focused on operating the drone.

Upon arriving at the location where the mutants appeared, there was almost no need to specifically look for them; the mutant zombies stood out prominently among the horde of corpses.

Standing at around 3.5 meters tall, it is unlike other zombies that enter an idle wandering mode when they have no target.

It had been rampaging wildly through the residential buildings, attracting some zombies with its noise, only to be easily knocked away by the mutant.

Mutants corrupted by supernatural abilities will experience a surge in strength, but they will also become extremely irritable and lose their rationality.

Apart from the rat king we encountered last time, the first level 3 mutant we encountered also fits this description.

That rat king wasn't very smart either, leading its swarm of rats to fight head-on against a much larger horde of corpses.

Furthermore, it has the potential for temporary breakthroughs and is not considered a complete mutant.

'That's much better. If it's a zombie that has normally broken through to level four, it already has a considerable level of intelligence.'

This fishing method may not be able to catch it.

"If a level four mutant zombie spots a heavy truck first, it probably won't be able to escape."

It's better to play it safe and lure them out to ambush them; we can't take the risk.

The drone flew to a point 30 meters above the mutant's head, and the song that pleased the zombies was played again:

Let's rock and roll together~ Let's rock and roll together~

Forget all the pain~ Let's rock together~

"......."

The horde of corpses began to dance beneath the drone, surging once again toward the area where the drone had been stranded.

The mutant's attention was also drawn to the drone in the air, and it grabbed a small potato next to it and threw it at the drone.

Huang Zhao carefully dodged the incoming zombies and began to ascend, flying towards the heavy truck.

The mutants and the horde of zombies immediately followed the drone in pursuit.

Let's start kiting the zombies!

The mutant took the lead, sweeping away all the zombies blocking its path with a single slap, as if it were no more difficult than sweeping leaves on the street.

Zombies hit in the head by mutants usually die instantly.

Even if other parts of the body are hit, the bones and tendons are broken, and the person can only crawl with difficulty after falling to the ground.

'How about I control the drone and circle around here a few times? Maybe this mutant can wipe out all the zombies in this residential area!'

I pondered the feasibility of the plan, but ultimately gave up on it.

There's a more efficient way to kill these level zero zombies; there's no need to waste time here.

Moreover, this is a level four mutant zombie. With such a huge power gap, it might be killed in a little while.

If he dies in the horde of zombies, Huang Zhao has no confidence that he can snatch the crystal from the mutant's head from among tens of thousands of zombies.

Let's just lure the mutant out, kill it, and take the crystal into our bag for safety!

He controlled the drone to accelerate, allowing the mutant to shake off the horde of zombies behind it and take the lead.

"Yi-ge, back up!"

"A big fish is coming!"

The heavy truck engine roared as it rapidly reversed.

The drone was kept at a distance of about one kilometer from the heavy truck.

The zero-level and a small number of level-one zombies behind the mutant zombies were gradually pushed apart and eventually disappeared from sight.

After retreating for about 15 minutes, the heavy truck returned to the bridgehead where the blond-haired man had previously blocked the road, and said to Qin Yi:

"Brother Yi, let's leave it here. There are no zombies around the mutant anymore."

"I'll use the drone to distract the zombies, then we'll ambush them."

They parked the heavy truck to the side, clearing the main road, and the two hid on the outside of the bridge pier, waiting for the mutated zombie to appear.

About two minutes later, a catchy, addictive melody entered my ears.

"We're almost there, Yi-ge, get ready! Just smash the sledgehammer into the zombie's head!"
