Twelve monsters appeared in the fog, and they looked no ordinary creatures.
Before Lu Chengchuan and his men could make a move, a roar erupted from behind the monsters, and twelve of them instantly rushed over. The soldiers raised their guns and fired, and the bullets struck the monsters, sending sparks flying.
Along with the sound of metal collision, the soldier's face turned ugly.
The monsters could withstand bullets, which was bad news for them, very bad news. Compared with the monsters, the soldiers had only one advantage: guns. If guns couldn't kill the monsters, they didn't know what to do.
"retreat!"
The monster's strength was far beyond imagination. Zhou Yaning gave the order to retreat without hesitation.
After giving the order, she walked to Lu Chengchuan's side: "Please cover them."
The monsters were not slow, much faster than the previous monsters and much faster than ordinary people. The soldiers needed time to evacuate, and someone had to cover them to ensure their safe retreat.
Lu Chengchuan is very powerful, and it makes people feel at ease to have him here to cover the rear.
The man's arms were short and the monster was already in front of him. Lu Chengchuan put down his rifle and looked at the fine steel sword. He decided to intercept the monster with his bare hands.
Bullets can create sparks when hitting monsters, and this fine steel sword cannot kill a monster even if the blade is bent. It is better to just use your hands, because his hands are harder than the fine steel sword.
He used the sword to chop the monsters because he didn't want to get his hands dirty, and if the sword couldn't kill them, he would just use his hands.
The monster rushed forward, Lu Chengchuan took a step forward, and punched the monster hard on the chest.
A muffled thud was heard, and the monster flew backwards. Lu Chengchuan retracted his fist. As expected of a monster that could withstand bullets, this punch made his palm hurt.
One monster flew backwards, and the other eleven monsters surrounded him, waving their arms to grab Lu Chengchuan.
Lu Chengchuan dodged easily, and Zhou Yaning and others helped him. They used their own abilities to try their best to block the dozen or so monsters that were chasing them.
Flames and transparent air blades flew out from both sides and hit the monster, but this attack could only stop the monster for a moment, and then the monster rushed up as if nothing had happened.
They fought and retreated, running towards the light circle at the edge of the village.
Lu Chengchuan waved his palm and slapped the monsters that surrounded him away. He used all his strength in each palm, but the monsters were as hard as iron and could stand up again after being knocked to the ground.
The soldiers lined up to enter the aperture, and more than twenty people left one after another.
The monster caught up with him, and Lu Chengchuan stopped. He circulated his internal energy throughout his body, and as it flowed through his body, his strength and explosive power were enhanced.
He grabbed a monster and let other monsters attack him. Lu Chengchuan tore the monster's neck with all his strength.
The sharp claws pierced his body, and pain spread throughout his body. The monster grabbed his body and shoulders and tore his body apart with the same force.
The internal energy surged wildly, flowing into his arms and fingers. His arms swelled up and looked terrifying.
With the help of his internal energy, he gritted his teeth and exerted force, violently tearing the monster's neck open.
Leaving behind the hard black piece of meat, a foul air quickly flowed out from the wound on the monster's neck, very similar to a zombie. Could these monsters also be zombies?
The monster's body was stiff, its skin was ashen, and its eyes were lifeless. It definitely didn't look like a living creature.
Pushing the deflated monster away with one hand, Lu Chengchuan waved his arms to push away the monsters surrounding him.
"Go!"
Zhou Yaning stood in front of the aperture and shouted at Lu Chengchuan. She was wrapped in a layer of transparent shield. This was her ability, which could protect herself in all directions without any blind spots.
After Lu Chengchuan broke through the encirclement, she immediately walked into the aperture.
【Kill zombies and gain 100 days of life.】
As he ran away, the monster whose throat he had ripped open died, and the system voice sounded, "This thing is really a zombie. It's not a low-level zombie. The strength of the two is very different, and the lifespan he can obtain is also greatly increased."
One zombie can give him a hundred days of life. If he can kill the remaining zombies, he can gain more than three years of life, but he can't do it for the time being.
The zombies couldn't hurt him for a while, but when his internal energy was exhausted, without the internal energy enhancement, the defense of Eagle Claw Iron Body alone could not last long.
It took him a lot of effort to kill a zombie, and when eleven zombies surrounded him, he was no match for them with just two fists.
Lu Chengchuan jumped into the light circle and disappeared from the black fog in an instant.
Everyone escaped from the black fog. The pursuing zombies lost their target and stopped in their tracks, stunned, until a low growl came from behind them, and the remaining zombies turned around and returned to the center of the 'village'.
Outside the black fog, everyone felt relieved after confirming that the monster had not chased them out.
The soldiers guarding outside came over and found that it was them who came out, so they put down their rifles and continued to be on guard.
"What kind of monster is this? How come it can't be killed by bullets?"
The soldiers were still frightened, and the people from the Investigation Bureau were also full of doubts.
This monster is not only immortal, but also sparks fly when bullets hit it. Is its body made of iron?
"Do you know what they are?"
Zhou Yaning asked Lu Chengchuan out of habit. This man was too mysterious in her mind. Zhou Yaning felt that Lu Chengchuan knew a lot of things but just didn't say it.
"You treat me like an encyclopedia and ask me everything." Lu Chengchuan was a little helpless. Zhou Yaning thought he knew everything and understood everything.
But he really knew what it was, and he didn't keep it a secret.
"They're zombies. I just ripped open the neck of a zombie, and foul air leaked out. It looked very similar to the low-level zombies I killed before."
"Zombies, can monsters be any stronger..." Zhou Yaning asked again.
Lu Chengchuan knew the difference between the two. Those before were just low-level zombies, but those guys inside were not low-level at all. They were real zombies.
Although the names are different, the strength is vastly different.
"If humans can awaken superpowers, why can't monsters become stronger? They are far more powerful than low-level zombies. Ordinary bullets can't hurt them. Do you have more powerful weapons?"
"If we want to get in and find the energy source, we have to get rid of these zombies."
Once you know what they are, you need to find a way to solve them.
"We brought some armor-piercing bullets. We can try them with these bullets."
They had made a lot of preparations before setting off, and they also brought a lot of armor-piercing ammunition, so they could give it a try. If that didn't work, they also brought a few heavy machine guns. If rifle armor-piercing ammunition couldn't solve the problem, they would use heavy machine gun armor-piercing ammunition.
Zhou Yaning picked up the mobile phone outside and found that only half an hour had passed from the time they went in to the time they came out. It was still early, so they decided to take a break before going back in.
"Hopefully we can resolve them..."
Lu Chengchuan suddenly felt that things were not that simple, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Zhou Yaning didn't understand the meaning of his words. She found Li Wang and asked them to prepare armor-piercing bullets and rest for a while before going in to explore.
Li Wang was afraid of those monsters that couldn't even move bullets, but she had orders, and as a qualified soldier, he obeyed the orders without hesitation.
