Chapter 71 Reappearance of Civilization
What is this? Intimidation?
Rong Yi couldn't describe his feelings at that moment. The evolved zombie, having devoured the crystal core, was bulging with muscles, and it tilted its head back and let out a comfortable growl.
The headless corpse was tossed aside by the zombie minions.
Wei Yanqing transmitted his voice to her: "A level 5 zombie should have superpowers."
Rong Yi nodded silently.
It's level 5 again. The male black boar we encountered before was also level 5. This level is not easy to deal with.
Fortunately, after dealing with the male black boar last time, Wei Yanqing absorbed its crystal core, which improved his strength, and Rong Yi himself also reached the first-level high grade.
Having demonstrated their strength and resorted to threats and intimidation, the evolved zombies have finally taken action.
The moment it moved, Rong Yi drew his gun and fired a bullet.
However, the rapidly fired bullet stopped in mid-air, its position directly aimed at the evolved zombie's forehead.
Rong Yi's pupils contracted. This guy also has a talent for control?
"Metal element," Wei Yanqing suggested.
So it turns out they can control metal; I thought I'd encountered another person with a freakish talent.
"Neither the gun nor the dagger works anymore," Rong Yi said, putting the gun away.
Both bullets and daggers are made of metal, and taking them out could very well be used against you by your opponent.
As if to verify Rong Yi's guess, the bullets that had been frozen in mid-air slowly turned around and, with a roar from the evolved zombie, shot towards Rong Yi.
Rong Yi tilted his head slightly, and the bullet hit the granary building behind him.
Thankfully, it wasn't a barrage of bullets, otherwise I would have had to take out my shield.
Rong Yi glanced at Wei Yanqing, his meaning clear without words. After a moment of confirmation, Wei Yanqing nodded.
She fights in close combat, while Wei Yanqing provides ranged support and the main force deals with the level 3 zombies. Most importantly, they control the evolved zombies at crucial moments.
Seeing Rong Yi approaching empty-handed, the evolved zombie shouted at its minions to retreat, wanting to fight him one-on-one.
Upon seeing the evolved zombie's face up close, Rong Yi felt it was truly ugly.
She made the first move, stepping forward and throwing a punch at her opponent's face, but the evolved zombie dodged by shaking its head and circling around.
A simple exchange of blows, and the two sides widened their distance.
Rong Yi has one-on-one combat with evolved zombies, while Wei Yanqing has to face nearly a thousand level-three zombies.
Before the zombie horde could attack, he took out the crystal cores he had stored and quickly absorbed them one by one. Attracted by the crystal cores, the level three zombies roared and pounced on him uncontrollably.
Wei Yanqing's icy blue eyes deepened. The zombies' spines were snapped by an invisible force, and they collapsed one by one, their lower limbs powerless, but they did not die.
Regardless of what the minions were doing, the evolved zombie lunged at Rong Yi, only to be met with a swift, powerful kick to the thigh. She then used her hips to propel her lower leg forward, unleashing considerable force.
Rong Yi felt like he had kicked a piece of hard iron. This evolved zombie could not only control metal, but also seemed to have used its superpowers to modify its bones.
Even hardened bones couldn't withstand that kick from her, unless they were made of iron.
The evolved zombie's leg bone wasn't badly damaged by the attack, but its muscles were injured. Rong Yi took the initiative, fiercely gripping its neck and slamming his knee into it three times in a row.
Even if the skull is made of iron, its natural thickness is such that it couldn't withstand three powerful blows from a fierce woman like Rong Yi. The evolved zombie swung its arms in a chopping motion, knocking off the arms that Rong Yi was holding its neck.
Rong Yi didn't let it go, and with a powerful swing of his fist, he struck it hard in the cheek, sending it flying sideways.
Enraged, the evolved zombie rose to swing its arm, but Rong Yi blocked it with his hands crossed, twisted his body with its force, pressed down on its arm, and then delivered a heavy knee strike to its abdomen. He raised his left arm to strike its back, and bent his right arm to strike its cheek with his elbow.
Before the evolved zombie could recover from lying on the ground, Rong Yi swiftly raised his foot and kicked it in the face like a soccer ball.
In terms of close combat skills, this evolved zombie was a complete novice, relying solely on its physical body to withstand Rong Yi's attacks. If it were of the same level, its head would have been smashed long ago.
The evolved zombie, being somewhat intelligent, realized this and crawled away on all fours to retreat a distance.
Taking this opportunity, Rong Yi adjusted his breathing and state, and carefully examined the weaknesses of the gold-type zombie.
After being thoroughly beaten, the gold-type zombie lost face. Even though its subordinates were brainless, Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing were.
At this moment, it remembered its special ability, raised its arm to activate the surrounding metal, and long, thin spikes floated in the air. With a swing of its arm, they all pierced towards Rong Yi.
A shield as tall as a person was unleashed and stood firmly on the ground.
Ding ding ding—
The first-tier shield was riddled with holes, and the spikes even extended seven or eight centimeters through the shield. Fortunately, Rong Yi managed to wedge the shield in place and then retreated.
No, I need to get close.
Suddenly, a "whoosh" sound came from behind. Rong Yi dodged to the side, but it was too late. The iron spike pierced his flesh, went through his arm horizontally, and the part that passed through was nailed to the shield. The entire iron spike shook due to the remaining force, tearing at the blood vessels and muscles inside his arm.
Rong Yi's face turned deathly pale.
The barbed stick is not smooth; it is covered with barbs about one centimeter long. If you try to pull it out, be prepared to lose your arm.
"Gah gah gah." The gold-type zombie laughed, a very unpleasant laugh, like scraping an iron spoon on a cement floor.
Rong Yi endured the pain and pulled the iron spikes embedded in the shield. She couldn't lose any more blood. The iron spikes on her arm definitely needed to be removed, but not now.
The familiar feeling returned, and this time Rong Yi did not resist it. Instead, he wholeheartedly embraced the murderous intent mixed with anger.
A blood-red hue spread around her pupils, and if she looked in the mirror, she would see that the area had expanded.
Rong Yi's blood seemed to be burning. With a light touch of his toes, his figure moved so fast that only a blur could be seen. The gold-type zombie was stunned for a moment and subconsciously raised its hand to protect its face, but its arm was grabbed and the elbow struck with the wind, making its head spin.
As the saying goes, it's better to take ten punches than one elbow.
The elbow can unleash tremendous power by following the force of the blow; it is a natural weapon that the human body uses to attack.
"You think you're made of iron? Well, I'll smash you to pieces today!"
Rong Yi's pure black pupils were tinged with red, giving him a strange, fierce beauty.
The gold-colored zombie covered its face, not understanding why the woman's aura had changed and her strength had increased.
Rong Yi didn't give it much time to think. He stepped forward and wrapped his uninjured arm around its neck, forming a triangle and performing a neck-clamping throw. Then, he pressed down on its chest and, ignoring his injured arm that had been pierced by iron, rained blows on its face with his fists.
The metal-type zombie roared angrily, firstly to summon lower-level zombies, and secondly to activate its iron spikes.
It couldn't count on low-level zombies; they were slaughtered by Wei Yanqing and were even attracted by the crystal core in his hand.
The gold-type zombies are not mental zombies, and their control over lower-level zombies is limited. The ability to summon these zombies is purely due to their level of power. Since they are not professionally suited for the task, this kind of suppression naturally becomes unreliable in the face of their nature.
Hearing the noise behind him, Rong Yi grabbed its collar, leaned back, pushed against its abdomen with one foot, and used his waist and legs to lift it up and throw it backward.
The entire process was carried out smoothly, and the iron spikes that were originally aimed at Rong Yi were now all stuck into the metal-type zombies.
Wounded by its own superpower, the metal-type zombie screamed as the iron spikes embedded in its body turned into liquid.
This move was aimed at completely killing Rong Yi, so the metal-type zombie was seriously injured. If it hadn't been flipped over headfirst, the iron spikes that pierced its legs would have been on its head.
