This level 5 zombie, taking advantage of its initial strengths, quickly turned the place into its own paradise.
With the combined buffs of invisibility and fire-based abilities, anyone who tried to break in would never return, and gradually, no one bothered with it anymore.
As people seek to enhance their superpowers, they are compelled to search for higher-level zombie crystal cores.
Recently, rumors have circulated that level 5 zombies have appeared in the west of the city, which has attracted the attention of the Invasion Squad.
Soon, the raiding team began the second step of their plan. The three of them launched incendiary grenades at the level 3 and 4 zombie horde, and the flames reignited, covering an even wider area.
The zombies' formation was disrupted, but they didn't feel pain; their mobility was simply significantly reduced.
The level 5 zombie quickly realized something was wrong and immediately controlled the zombie horde to retreat. It also sensed a strong energy in the surrounding area.
Trying to escape? How could we possibly let it have its way?
Wen Ya, the cute anime girl in the raiding squad, said to Ji Ye, the captain standing at the front, "The drone has locked onto the position. Should we descend and fire?"
"Wenya, could you please stop saying 'firecrackers'? It sounds very low-class."
Hu Xiao, the bespectacled young man operating the computer next to him, complained, "We're supposed to be young people of the new era who have received nine years of compulsory education. Let's keep it simple and be more civilized."
Wen Ya raised an eyebrow at Hu Xiao, who grinned and said, "Let's get him!"
Knowing he was about to spout something good, Wenya turned around and waited for the captain's instructions.
Ji Ye glanced at the rough-looking man beside him and said in a deep voice, "Qin Han, begin blocking; the drone is preparing to land."
Instantly, the zombie horde was divided into several square formations, surrounded by thick earthen walls with no exit, further restricting their movement.
Unbeknownst to them, ten drones rapidly descended from the sky and locked onto their target. With Hu Xiao's shout of "Damn it!", countless bombs rained down on the formation. "Bang! Bang! Bang!..." Limbs flew everywhere, and the earthen walls were covered in blood and gore.
Many zombies fell to the ground, and because of the small space, they piled up on top of each other. As a result, level 4 zombies who were not seriously injured and some level 3 zombies stepped on the corpses to walk out of the earthen wall.
Of course, some also managed to break through the wall themselves. The level 5 zombie had already evaded the attack thanks to its keen senses, but this provocation completely enraged it, and it began to control a large horde of zombies to advance towards the raiding squad.
In fact, this was exactly Ji Ye and his team's plan: to attack with long-range weapons and avoid direct confrontation with the level 5 zombie, so that it wouldn't know the strength of the newcomers and could prevent the level 5 zombie from fleeing without a fight.
After all, before coming here, they had already gathered a lot of information about level 5 zombies. The fact that this level 5 zombie could control such a large area and so many zombies at the same time showed that it was intelligent.
Dealing with it won't be easy, especially with its invisibility ability activated. Whether it tries to escape or attack, you have to be fully prepared, or all your efforts will be in vain.
That was just an appetizer, a little teasing. Now, facing the rapidly approaching horde of zombies, the raiding squad hastily retreated, their panic blatant.
The level 5 zombie, which had been watching them intently, was puzzled for a moment, then delighted, and immediately increased its control to make the zombie horde chase after the team members.
Xie Lu, who was originally hiding in the back and peeking, panicked when he saw that the members of the raiding team had retreated and were about to get close to him. He didn't want to face the dense horde of zombies, especially the high-level ones.
So he immediately turned around, not afraid of revealing his whereabouts, and started running. As a speed-type ability user, Xie Lu quickly escaped the scene.
Ji Ye and the others naturally saw Xie Lu. In fact, ever since Xie Lu joined the robbery team, Ji Ye knew that there was someone following them.
However, because Xie Lu's ability level was not high, he was not considered a threat and was therefore insignificant to the Invasion Squad.
Xie Lu encountered his teammates who had taken a detour on the way. Xu Lao Er asked Xie Lu somewhat angrily, "Why didn't you keep a close eye on the Rujie team? What are you doing here?"
Sensing something was wrong, the chubby man asked, "Has something happened?"
"The raiding squad ran away. They bombarded the zombie horde twice and then retreated. Now all the zombies have come out. I... I also... retreated," Xie Lu answered without confidence.
Mo An was speechless after hearing this, and couldn't help but think to himself that this was a brainless idiot.
But Xu Lao Er, the man with the eye scar, wasn't so patient. He immediately roared, "I told you to keep watch secretly, and you ran away before them! Who are they? They're the Invasion Squad! Do you think they'd fight an unprepared battle? Didn't you consider that your retreat was also part of their plan?"
"Oh yeah, boss, you're pretty smart too!" Xie Lu patted his head happily.
Mo An really wanted to put this guy in a sack and send him to exile!
The chubby guy was the first to calm down. After thinking about his current situation, he admitted that he also longed to obtain a level 5 crystal core.
This period of the apocalypse has made him realize that 'strength is your most solid support'.
While he was still weighing the pros and cons, Xu Lao Er spoke up again, "Stop dawdling, hurry up and get there. Maybe we can still get a share. If we're too late, we might not get anything. At worst, we can observe first when we get there. Let's set off quickly."
Mo An was most looking forward to going to the west of the city, so he immediately urged the driver to start the car.
Meanwhile, the raiding team arrived at a building where traps had been set up earlier, and activated their latest laser weapon from their return journey.
If you look closely, you'll see red threads in the middle of the road. As zombies cross these threads, their bodies are sliced into pieces and fall off.
Meanwhile, more and more zombies continued to arrive, creating a chilling and unsettling scene.
As a small slope gradually formed along the red line, the level 4 zombies behind noticed the problem and stopped advancing.
At the same time, the level 5 zombie sensed something was wrong and immediately went to a tall building.
Upon seeing this, he immediately ordered all the zombies to retreat, but they did not go far.
The level 5 zombie was furious at the repeated provocations from several humans, especially their tendency to fight for a short while and then run away.
But he didn't blindly chase after them; instead, he maintained a safe distance.
As Ji Ye and his team retreated, they sensed several energies lurking around them. This was precisely their team's objective: to drag these people down with them.
After all, level 5 crystal cores are attractive enough, and since it was their team that took the initiative to hunt them in the west of the city, the curiosity and desire of others would also make them unable to resist coming to find out.
However, the number of zombies in the west of the city was simply too enormous. Even if the entire raiding squad worked themselves to death, they still couldn't kill them all.
Most importantly, the raiding squad's target is level 5 crystal cores, and level 4 crystal cores as well, so they need helpers to draw some fire so they can better target the level 5 zombies.
This way, they could only fire and move on, attracting level 5 zombies while constantly getting closer to the people watching from a distance.
