'Level: Bloodthirsty (Level 2)'
'Type: Zombie (Licker)'
Characteristics: The most powerful Level 2 zombie, with individual combat power equivalent to a Level 4 Awakener. Vision is completely degraded, but hearing and smell are significantly enhanced. Extremely fast and incredibly agile.
The skin of the whole body is covered with a solid stratum corneum, which can resist general gunpowder weapons and energy weapons, but is weak to high-frequency weapons. It mainly attacks through its four strong claws.
Looking at the information prompts displayed in real time on the contact lenses by the smart bracelet, Chen Yan almost couldn't hold back his facial expression.
Good man...are you playing Resident Evil here?
However, the four lickers in front of him were quite different from the lickers that appeared in Resident Evil.
For example, these four lickers do not have disgusting long tongues. Although no eyes can be seen, the skin of these four lickers looks unusually strong.
Although the armed members of the caravan who were fighting against them were all equipped with energy guns, the scene looked quite tense because the Lickers had strong defense against energy guns with lower lethality.
Or rather... the armed men of the caravan were at a disadvantage, and dangerous scenes would appear from time to time.
The individual combat capabilities displayed by these armed personnel were mostly those of the second-level awakeners, with only the leader being a third-level awakener.
Facing a Licker who is comparable to a Level 4 Awakener, it would naturally be extremely difficult to deal with.
If their number was not three times that of the Lickers and they were not armed with energy guns that could at least pose a certain threat to the Lickers, I'm afraid these people would not have been able to hold on until now.
Even so, the situation on the field was clearly getting worse.
The four lickers seemed to possess considerable intelligence. They were always carrying out low-intensity harassment around the armed personnel and did not make any desperate moves.
Through this method of continuous harassment, the risk of serious trauma to oneself can be effectively reduced, while also greatly undermining the morale of the armed personnel.
Once despair begins to grow in the hearts of the armed personnel and they can no longer maintain a highly tense mental state, then for the four Lickers, their hunting time will truly arrive!
The armed men were well aware of this, but there was nothing they could do.
Until Chen Yan and his group appeared!
Although there was still a certain distance between them, the people in that caravan were the first to discover the presence of Chen Yan and his group.
The leader of the caravan, already extremely anxious due to the worsening situation, immediately shouted without hesitation: "Friends over there! Please, for the sake of being one of the same kind, give us a hand!"
As long as you can get through this difficult time, I won't take any of the crystals from the four Lickers in front of me. They're all yours! I'll also give you four extra level 2 crystals as a token of our gratitude!
Xu Qinghe, who was walking in front, did not respond immediately when he heard it, but turned his head to look at Chen Yan.
The small group's action pattern has not changed much, and the most dangerous work is always carried out and completed by Xu Qinghe.
However, the executive structure of the small group has changed significantly.
In the past, Fei Changyuan decided everything, but now Chen Yan has also joined the decision-making process.
In terms of the general direction, Fei Changyuan is still in control, but when it comes to dealing with some emergencies during the implementation process, he basically has to listen to Chen Yan's opinions.
"They're both level 2 zombies, but these Lickers are clearly much stronger than the Gnawers we've encountered before. So, are the crystals extracted from their bodies exactly the same? If so, wouldn't it be a waste to hunt these level 2 zombies to obtain level 2 crystals?"
Chen Yan also did not respond immediately, but asked Xu Qinghe instead.
Xu Qinghe shook his head and said, "Actually, they're different. Even crystals of the same level have different concentrations of essence. Crystals of the same level have the same color tone, but the stronger the zombies and mutants, the darker the color of the crystals they contain.
The value of a light white and pure white second-level crystal can often differ several times. However, few people would hunt stronger zombies and mutants of the same level just for the sake of a darker crystal. For hunters, such a move would be pointless and not worth the effort.
Chen Yan nodded in realization and said, "I see. Let's go help them first. They appear to be traveling merchants, so they're probably familiar with the surrounding routes. And judging by the strength they've demonstrated, they pose no threat to us."
Xu Qinghe did as he was told, and took Gu Yuze and Cong Jing and his wife with him. He immediately put away the "Eclipse" rifle in his hand, drew out the high-frequency sword, and pounced swiftly towards the four lickers!
When facing zombies and mutants of the same level, although human awakeners may be at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength, they know how to use weapons and can often use targeted weapons based on the specific weaknesses of zombies and mutants. Therefore, at the same level, unless there are no suitable weapons to increase combat effectiveness, humans can basically have the advantage!
With Xu Qinghe and Gu Yuze and Cong Jing joining the battle, the original situation of advantages and disadvantages immediately changed.
The four lickers were very keenly aware of the problem and wanted to evacuate immediately.
However, how could Xu Qing and the other two give the four lickers a chance to escape?
Wielding high-frequency swords, through extremely tacit cooperation, they took advantage of the opportunity when the four lickers were about to retreat and killed them one by one on the spot cleanly and neatly!
When the four lickers were all turned into corpses, the armed men who were originally suppressed by the four lickers and even prepared to face death, all showed expressions of relief for surviving the disaster on their faces.
Everyone felt weak and looked at Xu Qing and the other two with awe.
Gu Yuze and Cong Jing ignored the gazes of these people and began to dissect the body of the licker in order to take out the crystal wrapped in the body.
The leader of the caravan let out a long sigh, wiped the dense beads of sweat from his forehead, and looked at Chen Yan who was slowly walking towards him.
He noticed who was making the decision for this team that suddenly appeared when he was desperately shouting for help.
So when he noticed Chen Yan walking towards him, the leader of the caravan immediately took a deep breath, wiped his hands with his clothes, and took the initiative to greet him with a smile on his face.
