With a gentle flick of his longsword, Lu Sheng extracted the crystal core from the zombie's skull, then casually grabbed a handful of the sticky, blackened brain matter and rubbed it on his body.
"Ugh, what's going on? Ugh..."
The pungent, fishy stench almost made the rest of the people vomit.
The smell of decaying human flesh is unbearable for most people, especially in such hot weather; the strong odor can even sting the eyes.
"We have too much of a living scent on us, and there are so many zombies inside. We need to use these things to cover up the smell."
After saying that, she grabbed a handful of dark, paste-like substance and handed it to Sun Tiantian and the others.
Just as hunters use animal droppings to conceal their human scent when lurking in the forest, the flesh and blood of zombies can neutralize the scent of living people on their bodies.
The brain is the part of a zombie's body with the lowest viral load, so applying it to the body poses no risk of infection.
After this period of training, Sun Tiantian grabbed a piece of brain without even blinking and quickly wiped it on the part of the body that sweated the most.
Seeing this, the others followed Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian's example and smeared the brains on their bodies.
With everything prepared, the entire team headed towards the military storage warehouse.
The scattered zombies along the way were quickly killed with a single blow. Lu Sheng and his group tried to finish the fight as quickly as possible and soon arrived at the warehouse entrance.
The warehouse was a row of buildings, and to get into the innermost room to get the NBC protective suits and gas masks, they had to walk through a corridor that was hundreds of meters long.
The entire warehouse was extremely secure, with tightly sealed walls and no windows.
With the power system completely destroyed, the room was pitch black with no light source.
Lu Sheng distributed headlamps to everyone, but the warehouse was too large, and the limited light provided only a limited range of visibility.
"I'll provide the light ahead, you all be careful."
Lu Song strapped several high-wattage military flashlights to his body and walked at the front of the group to provide visibility.
This job is very risky. With so many things strapped to my body, my movements are restricted, and I'm practically guaranteed to be cannon fodder.
Lu Sheng patted the rocket's rear, signaling it to stay by Lü Song's side and protect him.
There weren't many zombies at the entrance; most of them were level three zombies without any special abilities, and Ma Dongmei and Su Zheng all shot them in the head with silenced guns.
The entire team tensed up and walked several dozen meters further in.
The stench of decaying corpses in the air grew stronger, but the field of vision was empty, with no sign of any zombies whatsoever.
“That’s not right.” Su Zheng called out to Lü Song, who stopped in his tracks.
The warehouse has a very high ceiling, about six meters, and it feels empty and somewhat eerie.
Su Zheng raised his flashlight and swept it around the nooks and crannies in front of him.
His tone revealed a hint of caution, "When I passed by just now, there were clearly many zombies here, so why is there no sound at all now?"
The remaining people felt a chill run down their spines.
Undeterred, Su Zheng turned around and looked behind him again.
Snap.
Zhang Xiaojuan suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He wiped it with his hand and found his hand covered in a sticky liquid.
He subconsciously looked up and his throat tightened instinctively.
"Run!"
Zhang Xiaojuan used all her strength to squeeze out a hoarse sound from her throat.
The remaining people saw his movement and looked up following Zhang Xiaojuan's gaze.
Under the limited field of vision of a headlamp.
A gigantic, grayish-white monster, vaguely resembling a human, hung upside down from the ceiling. Its bulging, fist-sized, murky eyes stared intently at them!
The monster opened its blood-red maw, its sharp teeth flashing with a chilling light in the darkness.
In 40-degree weather, the sticky sweat on everyone's bodies instantly turned into a bone-chilling coolness.
Zhang Xiaojuan's face turned deathly pale; what had just dripped onto his neck was the enormous creature's saliva...
"Scatter quickly!" Lu Sheng shouted urgently.
She had seen this strange thing in the manual provided by the system; it was a mutated zombie that had reached level five.
The Devourer is a high-level zombie that can only appear if it consumes a large number of zombies in a short period of time.
In the short span of ten minutes since they arrived, a Devourer has been born here...
Lu Sheng and her group had a lot of practical experience, and they immediately dispersed almost reflexively.
However, the people at K3 base had no experience fighting fifth-tier zombies, and in their haste, they didn't have time to react.
"Awoo!"
The Devourer's enormous head, now reduced to only a few hairs, suddenly swooped down, its gaping maw aimed directly at the nearest bespectacled young man.
Fortunately, the guy with glasses was a rock-type ability user. The moment he sensed danger, he immediately petrified his body, covering it with a layer of quartz that was far harder than steel.
Huff!
The Devourer's gaping maw instantly swallowed the bespectacled young man's entire upper body.
Crunch, crunch.
Several chilling gnawing sounds followed in succession.
Everyone's hearts were in their throats. Su Zheng and the others immediately rushed forward to snatch the body from the mouth.
"Cough...tui!"
Before Su Zheng and the others could make a move, the Devourer's maw suddenly moved, spitting the Eyes Guy several meters away.
Lu Sheng: "..."
This is the first time I've seen a look of disgust on a zombie's face. It seems it's not to their liking and they can't bite into it.
"Cough cough."
The bespectacled guy was completely covered in a foul-smelling slime, and he rolled around on the ground twice before struggling to get up.
"The Devourer's saliva is corrosive; wash it clean immediately!"
Lu Sheng drew his sword and charged toward the Devourer, which was spitting out saliva, while shouting instructions to Xiao Yu.
The strong water flow quickly washed away the slime from the bespectacled man's body, revealing his original skin.
