Chapter 458 Return Journey and Investigation
Minced flesh and blood splattered continuously in the air.
As Han Shuo repeatedly slashed at the same spot, the giant, pot-bellied zombie finally lost its balance.
The next moment, under the continuous impact, its body fell straight to the ground.
...
"withdraw!"
Seeing this, Han Shuo no longer hesitated and quickly slid down his back.
When he reached the giant zombie's buttocks, he felt he was at the right height and jumped off.
"clatter!"
"boom!"
Han Shuo landed smoothly, while the giant zombie's body slammed heavily onto the ground.
However, this time, instead of seizing the opportunity to rush forward and launch another attack, he pulled out his fur coat from behind him.
Sure enough, as soon as the fur coat was in hand, the giant zombie's belly bulged outwards even more.
It's about to explode!
Han Shuo was prepared. He quickly retreated a distance and then hurriedly crouched down to cover himself with the fur coat.
At that very moment, a sound amplified several times over came from the balloon bursting.
"Bang!"
After the sound, filthy liquid gushed out from the giant zombie's belly.
Han Shuo, on the other hand, was naturally not spared from this.
He only felt that the fur coat was a little hot to the touch. Soon, the liquid stuck to it corroded one small hole after another.
Seeing this, Han Shuo quickly stood up and threw his sweater and coat on the ground, fearing that his body would be contaminated by this corrosive and filthy liquid.
This move really worked, successfully allowing him to avoid the giant zombie's attack!
...
"Sizzle, sizzle..."
At the same time, the sound of objects being corroded could be heard all around.
The ground, walls, and even the glass of buildings dozens of meters away were instantly covered with this filthy liquid.
The scene was a complete mess, and the air within a radius of 100 meters was filled with a fishy and sour smell...
Han Shuo frowned, sniffed, ignored the filth on the ground, picked up his Tang sword, and rushed forward quickly.
At this moment, the giant zombie had not yet stood up again, and he prepared to seize the last opportunity to finish it off completely.
The battle that followed was entirely predictable. As black blade shadows flashed across the sky one after another, a sharp "crack" was heard, and the black crystal Tang sword finally severed the thick cervical vertebra.
With the giant zombie's head and body separated, the battle finally came to an end...
...
"Phew~"
Han Shuo took a deep breath and found a relatively clean spot to rest.
For him, this battle was completely under control.
Of course, the black crystal Tang sword in his hand deserves much of the credit.
Without such a sharp weapon, he probably wouldn't have been able to sever the giant zombie's neck so quickly.
Then, he began to replay the events in his mind.
He couldn't help but murmur as he recalled how he had almost fallen off the giant zombie's shoulder.
"Strange, I'm also level 5, but I always feel like I'm not quite as good as Steward Wang in terms of balance."
"Hmm... Manager Wang must be more than level 5. Such a genetically advanced human was still instantly killed by the Zombie King in just a few moves. That's terrifying..."
Han Shuo stopped thinking about it and rested where he was, quietly waiting for Fatty and the others to come over.
Even now, he has no idea that Steward Wang, who fought the giant zombie at the entrance of the underground research institute that day, has already completed his 6th evolution.
Even Dr. Lin was unaware of this.
Yue Zongyang has never made this matter public...
...
Wow, wow!
Soon, Fatty and Cheng Shenghong ran over from both sides of the street.
As for Xiao Zhao, he remained stationed on the rooftop.
Looking at the enormous corpse in front of them, the two men both gave Han Shuo a thumbs up.
They were no match for such a terrifying being.
"Alright, enough with the flattery. Let's collect the turbid liquid and get out of here. The smell is awful."
Han Shuo waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Alright, I'll go do it, I'll go do it."
The fat man responded with a grin, then hopped and skipped carefully, dodging the corrosive liquid, until he reached the side of the enormous head.
When he returned to the same spot, he was holding a small bottle in his hand.
"Haha, getting 20 drops of turbid liquid was so easy."
"Put it away, I'm off!"
Han Shuo shook his head with a wry smile, turned on his communicator and called Xiao Zhao down from the roof. The four of them returned to the original location of the car.
...
By this time, on the fourth day of their mission, they had 38 drops of turbid liquid in their hands.
This achievement finally brought some satisfaction to the four of them.
After the four people got on the bus, Cheng Shenghong casually tossed them a bottle of mineral water.
"So, what do you mean? Should we rest here for a bit, or continue on our way?"
Han Shuo took the drink and drank it all in one gulp. He checked the time; it was around 11 a.m.
"Let's leave the city first. Since there's already a giant mutant in this city, there shouldn't be any other mutants. Staying any longer won't yield any good results."
After the nuclear radiation, although different species can coexist, most of the time they seem to prefer to occupy a territory by themselves.
After thinking for a moment, Han Shuo continued.
"After leaving the city, head south along that road. I remember there's a river marked not far away on the map. Let's see if we can catch some fish to eat at noon."
When it comes to food, the fat guy is naturally the most excited one.
Without exchanging any pleasantries with the others, he immediately took the driver's seat and started the car.
"Let's go, let's eat grilled fish, let's eat grilled fish!"
And so, after a brief stay in the city, the four of them chose to leave.
...
At noon, guided by Han Shuo, they indeed arrived at the riverbank.
Two and a half years have passed, and countless rains have fallen during that time. The river water that was once contaminated by the ice crystal virus has long since returned to normal.
Next, he went downstream, washed off the bits of flesh and filth that covered his body, and then changed into clean clothes.
When he returned, the three fat men had already caught fish and lit a fire.
Immediately afterwards, everyone shared a hearty meal, rested briefly, and then continued their search for the alien species.
...
Two more days passed in the blink of an eye, and it seemed that Han Shuo and his three companions had completely used up their luck during these two days.
During this time, they only found one armored zombie, and it wasn't even a second mutation.
After five days of searching for the alien species, they finally managed to collect only 40 drops of the turbid fluid.
Han Shuo then stopped going, because they had already gone far enough this time.
With the remaining two days, he decided to begin his return journey and, incidentally, scout out the locations of the green dots on the return route on the map.
He wanted to see if he could run into Qingyu and the others by chance.
That morning, they found the first camp where survivors had gathered.
