Chapter 65 High-level Zombies
The headlights were turned on, and several zombies in the hall ran over roaring, but their heads and bodies were separated before they got close.
A few people found the stairs and tacitly divided into two columns on the left and right and walked up side by side.
When they arrived on the second floor, Zhou Zixi left fifteen people behind to clean up the zombies in the room separately.
After the others cleared the zombies on the stairs, they went straight to the top floor.
After quickly eliminating more than twenty ordinary zombies, their primary target was at the end of the corridor - the mayor's office.
This office is very large. There are desks and chairs at the back. There is a large flower pot and an antique display cabinet against the wall in front. There is a toilet on the right, a row of filing cabinets on the left, and a sofa and coffee table in the middle for meetings.
The whole room was clean, there were no zombies or bloodstains, and the door was even locked from the outside.
It seems that the people inside left here before the end of the world.
After the inspection, Li Hangyuan came to the table, disassembled the computer case with familiarity, unplugged the hard drive, and plugged it into an instrument he took out of his backpack.
Then he unplugged the telephone line from the table and plugged it into the instrument.
A small screen above the instrument lit up. He fiddled with it for a few seconds, then looked up and said to the others, "Give me five minutes."
Cheng Ming walked to the filing cabinet by the wall, took out a large flashlight and started looking through it.
Zhang Rui stood at the door, looking around with an infrared-aimed sniper rifle.
The rest of the group also went to search other rooms in the corridor in groups of three, while Gu Chao and Lu Ming patrolled the corridor to ensure that they could provide timely support if anything happened.
Suddenly, a scream came from downstairs: "Ah!"
Zhou Zixi was startled and ran down suddenly.
Gu Chao and Lu Ming, who had just reached the end of the corridor, looked at each other and ran towards the stairs together.
Just as she was about to enter the stairwell, Lu Ming's alarm bells rang in her heart. A strong sense of crisis swept over her. Before she could figure it out, her body had already reacted. She suddenly threw Gu Chao to the ground and rolled to the side twice!
Without even getting up, she flipped her hand and casually took out a knife and threw it forward, then pulled Gu Chao and retreated quickly.
As they retreated, a deep scratch appeared on the floor with a "pop" sound where they were originally standing. If they had not retreated just now, their heads would have been gone by now.
The series of attacks happened in the blink of an eye. Although Gu Chao didn't know what was attacking them, he knew that at his current speed he would be of no help at all and would instead drag down Lu Ming. So he quickly retreated to a few meters behind Lu Ming, while calling Lin Cong through the headset.
Cheng Ming, who detected the abnormality, Lin Cong, who heard the call, and Zhang Rui, who saw their actions at the office door, all shone several beams of light over there.
There was nothing there.
"What happened?"
"There is a very strong zombie nearby, at least level three!" Cheng Ming answered.
He was rarely anxious. There were actually zombies that could avoid his mental detection!
Before this, he had indeed not sensed the presence of any high-level zombies, but at that moment he caught a very strong fluctuation of supernatural power.
Only Lu Ming, who had briefly fought with that thing, knew that this was not a third-level zombie, it was most likely already a fourth-level one!
The flashlight flickered and everyone was looking for its traces, while Lu Ming quickly closed the stairwell door.
We can't let that thing run down there, otherwise the people down there will surely die, and this also means that they can only deal with the things that appear down there on their own.
"All those below level 2 return to—"
"careful!"
Gu Chao was talking into the headset when he heard Lu Ming's terrified cry. Relying on the alertness and reaction honed from so many years of life-and-death situations, he rolled forward on the spot and avoided the fatal blow!
However, he was too slow, and a long cut was made on his right arm, and blood gushed out.
Lu Ming had already rushed over quickly with his sword in hand, and stood in front of him without even bothering to ask about his injuries.
Only then did the others finally see what was attacking.
I saw a human-shaped zombie clinging to the ceiling. Its skin was covered with big holes, like many fishing nets. There were only two black eye sockets left where the eyeballs should be on its face. It was hanging upside down in the air, with its neck tilted back, staring at Lu Ming.
As if because its two sneak attacks had failed, it opened its big mouth full of canine fangs in anger and growled threateningly.
Lu Ming was tense all over and didn't dare to act rashly. Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
This is a wind-type zombie that is at least in the late third stage!
The wind element is very difficult to deal with. Not only can it emit wind blades and wind nets from a long distance, but it also has an extremely fast speed. For a pseudo-superpower melee fighter like Lu Ming, as long as it keeps fighting from a distance, it can hurt Lu Ming badly. If it gets another claw, she can commit suicide directly.
No wonder Cheng Ming didn’t detect it. It released its supernatural power to wrap around its body, thus hiding its own supernatural power fluctuations.
But she had to stand up, because among all the people, only she and Lin Cong reached the third level, and Lin Cong might not be able to keep up with its speed, let alone others who were suppressed by their level.
Gu Chao looked at the slender figure in front of him, and a feeling of powerlessness swept over him.
Damn it! Why isn't he a superpower?!
He clenched his fists and stared at the zombie. He knew that the zombie was of such a high level that perhaps all the people combined could not be its match. Once they started fighting, the only thing he could do was to leave the area as soon as possible to avoid holding Lu Ming back.
He had never felt such a strong desire to not stand behind someone.
However, no one noticed that at this moment, something seemed to be fluctuating near his hands.
The zombie suddenly tilted its head, and its eyeless eyes "looked" in the direction of Gu Chao. Liquid flowed out of its mouth and dripped onto the ground, as if it had seen some delicious food.
The stalemate didn't last long before it finally lost its patience and pounced on Gu Chao with its hind legs!
Lu Ming struggled to block its body, and Gu Chao took the opportunity to retreat to the end of the corridor.
The eyeless zombie seemed to know that its superpowers had limits. Apart from the sneak attack just now, it did not use wind blades, but instead attacked with claws and fangs.
It was very fast, and Luming could only defend with all his strength, and had few opportunities to counterattack.
Others could only hear the "clang clang clang" sound of metal colliding. It was too difficult to capture the figures of the two people in this dark corridor.
Lu Ming took out a dagger and threw it towards its eyes. The moment it raised its hand to block the dagger, he quickly stabbed it in the abdomen.
However, the eyeless zombie's skin was very tough, and this only made a shallow cut, but it successfully angered it. It raised its hand and threw three wind blades at Lu Ming!
Lu Ming dodged by spinning to the right, only to be met with the fourth wind blade! A sharp pain shot through his left arm, leaving a deep scar visible to the bone.
She was terrified. If the spring water had not had a stronger strengthening effect, her left hand would have been gone by now.
It was beyond Lu Ming's expectation that this zombie had such a strong learning ability.
This can't go on!
