Chapter 64 – Level 3 Zombie

When Li Ming and others came to their senses, they found that everything had been dealt with. The fat man and his ‘wife’ were dead. The young people confessed everything. What they faced after this depended on what Li Meng decided.
Knowing their origin and purpose, Li Ming and everyone else fell into silence.
These people intended to not only rob the army, but also kill them. Although they were young, they were cruel enough to do this. If this mission did not have Zhan Yun and his team’s participation, wouldn’t it be the soldiers lying dead here now? They would have become cold bodies.
“Please, let us go…”
“We know we’re wrong…”
“We don’t dare to do it again, wuwuwu……”
Several of the young were frightened and apologized incessantly. The two girls cried and begged for mercy.
Now, there were only two choices in front of them, one was to kill them, the other was to let them go.
It was absolutely impossible to let them go. These people may look young, but actually had helped Lu Yang do many evil acts, and their hands were stained with the blood of many innocent people. If they were let go, it would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain. Who knew if their momentary weakness today will cause more innocent deaths in the future.
Li Ming closed his eyes for brief seconds before opening them again, with a decision made in mind.
“Take them out.”
“Yes.” Several soldiers came forward and dragged out the several who were crying all the time, covering their mouths.
The soldiers returned soon without the people they had dragged out. Who knew from where, a fire spread outside. You could smell something burning, but no one asked any questions, it was better not to know.
The room became silent again. Wu Jing closed the glass doors and blocked it with the cloth towel. At last, this time they could have a good rest.
When night fell, they ate something and went back on the road.
Only an empty business car and ashes were left in the service area.

Around two o’clock, the team saw the sign for G city.
“Once we pass by the toll station in front, we will enter G city. Please be vigilant. There are more than one evolutionary zombies in G City, which makes the city very dangerous.” Before entering G City, Li Ming reminded everyone to be ready for battle at any time via the two-way radio.
G city was also without power. The group drove without any lights switched on. From a distance, the dark city looked like a dark bottomless hole, seemingly devouring the group slowly.
"Turn left at the fork ahead." Li Ming, holding a flashlight, looked at the map to guide the team towards the location of the new energy plant.
"Stop! Stop!" Zhan Yun's shrill cry sounded from the two-way radio.
The car that was speeding, immediately braked to a stop. The screeching sound of the brakes hurt everyone's eardrums.
“Captain, what happened? Why stop?” Because of inertia, Li Ming’s head hit the car’s frame, but he didn’t have time to take care of his bruises. He tried to bear the pain, picked up the radio and asked Zhan Yun what had happened.
“Look outside!”
A sense of foreboding rose in Li Ming’s heart. He looked out of the window, following his words. In the dark, pairs of red eyes glowed like a red light bulb. They didn’t know when they had become surrounded by zombies.
“Go back! Quickly! Let’s get out of here!” Now, they had entered the city, surrounded by buildings and paths. God knew how many zombies were hidden inside. They had to leave this place quickly and rush to a more open place.
The driver immediately began to back up, but a sharp gunshot tensed up the nerves of the crowd completely. Those in the front seemed to have started the war.
“What’s going on? Please, answer! Please, answer!”
After harsh crackling sounds from the two-way radio, he could only hear the sounds of glass breaking, and the chilling sound of fingernails scraping against the iron plate
“Turn the headlights on. Everyone, get ready to fight!” Li Ming was startled and ordered loudly.
Several light bulbs were set on the military cars. After Li Ming’s order, they all lit up. The dark roads around became bright as daylight, revealing all the figures hiding in the darkness.
Obviously, Li Ming’s team had been attacked and needed assistance.
“Ah Qi, Jiao Jiao, get out with me. The others should wait in the car.” Zhan Yun took the gun and quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
Cheng Qi and Cheng Jiao also follow closely, three people back-to-back, moved forward in quick movements.
The three kept shooting as they moved. Each shot was able to accurately shoot a corpse trying to get close.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise from above, as if someone had jumped onto the roof of the SUV.
The next moment, a bony hand with iron green skin punched with its black fingernails scratching the roof, going straight in!
Zheng Jiahe immediately swung his usual golf club and hit hard on its arm. If it’s a common zombie, this hit by a level 2 ability user should have shattered its arm bones completely. The zombie’s arm was smashed askew, and the bone seemed misplaced, but it was not completely broken, while Zheng Jiahe’s hands were numb.
“What the fuck! What the hell is this? Are the bones of this zombie made of steel? ” Zheng Jiahe couldn’t help cursing.
When Su Ruizhe heard his words, he was shocked. Bones that are hard, skin that is tough, and enhanced strength. All these were indicators of a level 3 zombie.
If the ordinary zombies which were slow in action, gray in color and easy to deal with that appeared in the beginning were level 1 zombies, then the next evolution was a level 2 zombie. And now, they were facing a level 3 zombie that had evolved again!
This was not something level 1 ability users could fight against. Even if Zheng Jiahe was a level 2 ability user, he would find it very difficult to deal with it…
“Don’t get out of the car! I’ll take care of this zombie! ” Su Ruizhe told his friends.
At least he was a level 3 powerhouse. Now, there were so many plants that he could control. This time, he didn’t want to hide behind others. He believed he had the ability to protect all those he wanted to protect.
The hand once again descended down the car roof. This time, it accurately honed in Su Ruizhe’s direction.
Su Ruizhe held a nut in his left hand. After activating his ability, Su Ruizhe formed a small yellow shield, which easily blocked the zombie’s attack.
At the same time, he reached out to open the door and got out of the car quickly.
The zombie, having apparently decided to target him, jumped off the roof. It was a mummified zombie. The whole face was almost as horrible as the ET in the movie. It was frightening with its blue face and fangs.
Without waiting for the zombie to land, Su Ruizhe raised his gun and shot the zombie accurately. The green bullet penetrated the zombie’s chest, but no blood flowed out. All the energy in the body had been absorbed by the crystal nucleus in the head.
“Roar!” The zombie seemed to be enraged, and the blood-red eyes became fixed on Su Ruizhe, as if wishing it could take him down and eat him immediately!
When it came to him, he dodged from side to side and hit the zombie with three shots in a row. Every time the zombie attacked, it would be blocked by the nut shield in Su Ruizhe’s hands.
After a series of attacks, the pea bullet finally began to show its effects. The level 3 zombie stumbled and its skin changed color.
“Roar!” The zombie roared loudly, and the surrounding zombies became stimulated. All of them turned and gathered towards Su Ruizhe’s direction.
But Su Ruizhe was not flustered. There were two cherry bombs in his hand. He aimed and threw them at the zombies.
Boom! The bomb exploded, many zombies got blown up.
“Roar!” The zombie still continued howling.
A steady stream of zombies came from all directions. Without knowing any fear, they rushed straight to Su Ruizhe’s direction, as then they fell again and again.
Su Ruizhe’s forehead gradually exuded cold sweat. Even if his power was strong, it would not be useful when exhausted. The continuous transformation of plants into weapons consumed a lot of power in him. Fortunately, he carried a lot of transparent crystal nuclei to supplement his powers in time.
There were too many zombies gathered here. Zombies constantly collide with the SUV. Zheng Jiahe and Zhang Shuoliang were shooting with guns, but their killing speed was far slower than the speed with which the zombies gathered.
This was not good. There were too many zombies gathered here. Others would be in danger. The level 3 zombie must be solved first!
Once again, Su Ruizhe took out a handful of green peas from his space, merged them into a quail egg-sized pea with his power, and turned it into a bullet. This time, the pea bullets were almost shining green.
Su Ruizhe threw off his tattered nut shield and ran towards the level 3 zombie.
Although the level 3 zombie knew of the danger, it could not resist the sweet fragrance of the human body in front of him. It longed for the human flesh and blood in front of him, as if it could become stronger as long as it ate him.
Su Ruizhe raised his gun and aimed at the body of the level 3 zombie. After taking a deep breath, he pulled the trigger again.
The level 3 zombie had reached closer. His nose could smell the rotten smell in the mouth of the level 3 zombie and his black nails almost reached his neck…
However, within the next moment, the level 3 zombie’s body quickly began to fester. It howled and fell to the ground.
Su Ruizhe dug the level 3 zombie’s head, took out an orange-red crystal core from it, wiped it with a napkin, and put it in the space for safekeeping.
Without the level 3 zombie’s continual summoning, the nearby zombies no longer flew here. Under the suppression of the army’s firepower, they were quickly eliminated.
