Chapter 440 Corpse Image
Sure enough, with the sound of an explosion behind them, the car windows that Han Shuo and the others had just replaced shattered again.
Compared to the last time when explosives were detonated amidst a horde of zombies, this tanker explosion seemed even more violent.
A sea of fire erupted, and thick smoke billowed up instantly!
Today's explosion was no less spectacular than the one Han Shuo and Xiao Zhao detonated at the gas station in the highway service area.
More than 80% of the zombified beasts died instantly in the explosion, while those that survived had their fur engulfed in flames.
It's oil after all; once it sticks, it's not so easy to shake off.
...
Han Shuo was overjoyed at the sight before him.
He quickly shouted behind him, brandished his dagger, and continued to slaughter the surrounding corpse wolves and corpse leopards.
"Brothers, kill!"
As soon as the voice fell, the fat man and the others quickly recovered from their brief dizziness.
Their faces also showed joy. In an instant, more than 80% of the zombie beasts had disappeared, and they could easily deal with the remaining less than 20%.
However, at that moment, a muffled footstep sounded from behind the sea of fire.
"Thump! Thump! Thump..."
It was that carcass elephant, running rapidly towards them, its massive trunk like an iron whip.
When the tanker truck exploded, it wasn't at the center of the blast. Although it's currently engulfed in flames, these injuries pose no real threat to it.
Its skin and flesh are too thick, too thick...
...
The corpse elephant bursting out of the sea of fire naturally caught Han Shuo's attention.
His eyes narrowed, and he turned to glance at the situation behind him.
"No! This won't do. If we let this carcass elephant reach the truck, not only will the supplies be destroyed, but there will also be casualties among the personnel."
He anxiously muttered to himself, then quickly pulled out the rifle behind him and fired several shots at the corpse elephant diagonally in front of him.
"Da da da da da..."
Unfortunately, Han Shuo's burst of bullets seemed to tickle the creature, failing to attract its attention in the slightest.
The corpse elephant continued to charge into the crowd.
...
The next moment, the fat man and the others saw the corpse elephant rushing towards them, and they were also very anxious.
Xiao Zhao reacted the fastest, loading a rocket and firing it straight at the target.
"Bang!"
The rocket exploded on the head of the corpse elephant. After the smoke cleared, everyone saw that the corpse elephant continued to attack them as if it had not been hindered at all.
The rocket, aside from tearing its flesh open, did not cause any real damage.
"Holy crap! It's incredibly tough, it's not even afraid of rockets?"
The fat man stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Han Shuo.
"Quick, save us!"
...
Actually, without Fatty's help, Han Shuo started walking after the rocket exploded.
He had to find a way to lure the carcass away; he couldn't let it charge into the crowd.
The two sides were not too far apart. With a determined heart, he suddenly leaped up as he was about to reach the corpse elephant from the side.
Just as he jumped up, the carcass elephant finally noticed him.
And there it was!
Just as Han Shuo brushed past the corpse elephant in mid-air, a large trunk suddenly swung towards him.
He didn't panic at all. After quickly calculating the trajectory of the corpse elephant's attack in his mind, he turned around and kicked it in the body.
"Its skin is indeed tough enough."
Through this encounter, he also clearly felt the defensive power of the corpse elephant.
Then, in the next instant, Han Shuo used the counter-propulsion to adjust his position in mid-air.
That wasn't all. Immediately afterwards, his right hand flashed by like a blur, and when it reappeared, he had already pulled out a grenade from his pocket.
"clatter!"
He flicked the pin off the grenade with his finger, and as the corpse elephant's trunk approached, he not only dodged the attack but also shoved the grenade into the elephant's nostril.
The whole process was completed in one go, taking only about a second from start to finish.
Afterwards, Han Shuo landed back on the ground. After completing all of this, he ran to the side without looking back.
...
At the same time, the grenade rolled down the nostril and into the corpse elephant's mouth.
Before it could prepare for its next attack, the grenade exploded instantly.
"Bang."
Because the grenade was detonated inside the corpse elephant's mouth, the explosion sounded noticeably muffled.
"howl--!"
The next moment, a loud roar rang out.
The corpse elephant was badly injured by the grenade in its mouth, and large amounts of blood dripped uncontrollably onto the ground.
It seemed to be truly enraged, ignoring the crowd in front of it, turning around and striding towards Han Shuo with its pillar-like legs!
...
"Hahaha! Awesome! Brothers, follow me and kill them!"
The fat man's face lit up with ecstasy when he saw the corpse elephant being lured away.
He yelled, picked up his axe, and jumped off the truck.
By this time, many wild beasts had arrived, and the close-quarters battle had begun!
...
On the other side, Han Shuo glanced back and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Without the carcass elephant, he believed that Fatty and the others could handle the remaining beasts.
Without further thought, he distanced himself from the corpse elephant behind him, then drew his dagger again, stopped, and assumed a fighting stance.
He also wanted to see what was so special about this large, zombified beast...
Soon, the corpse elephant arrived in front of him, and the battle between the two officially began!
...
After engaging in close combat, Han Shuo dodged the attacks of the corpse elephant while continuously counterattacking with the dagger in his hand.
At first, he thought this corpse elephant was on the same level as the female giant zombie he had encountered before.
However, when he actually started fighting the other side, he found that the corpse elephant was just thicker in skin and flesh, and the rest of it was not as terrifying as he had imagined.
He was able to easily dodge every attack from his opponent.
Although the zombified elephant had gained considerable speed and strength, it was still several levels behind Han Shuo in terms of speed and reaction ability.
However, during his attack, he also discovered another rather troublesome issue.
That is, the corpse elephant could not attack him, and he could not finish off the opponent with the dagger in his hand.
In just over ten seconds, he left numerous bloody marks on the man's body with a dagger.
He could break through the defenses, but the dagger was too short and the corpse elephant's skin was too thick. No matter how he attacked, he could never inflict a fatal wound.
At this moment, Han Shuo suddenly missed his old Tang sword...
If the Tang sword hadn't been damaged, he was confident he could have finished off the corpse elephant in a short time!
