“Hmm.”

Wang Tao nodded and then led Jiang Shixue away directly.

The others were somewhat baffled, not knowing why the big shot suddenly left.

“Don’t just stand there, hurry and pry the lock open! Whether our camp can settle down peacefully depends on how much food we have here!”

“Oh, right!”

“Did you see where it went?”

Wang Tao had chased for a while, but then he lost track of the zombie.

“I think… it’s over there!”

Jiang Shixue pointed at a factory building.

“Let’s go, keep chasing!”

Wang Tao continued the chase with Jiang Shixue to the top floor of the factory,

but the top floor was completely empty, with no zombies in sight.

“It’s below!”

Jiang Shixue pointed to a pile of trash on the ground floor.

This was a waste disposal factory, and there was a pile of unprocessed trash inside. Among these trash piles, there was a green zombie with a body covered in pustules, hunched over, and roughly the same size as a human!

“Found you!”

Wang Tao’s face showed a hint of excitement upon spotting the zombie.

Because this was a Zombie Lord with 20,000 HP!

[HP: 20000/20000]

[Mana: 20000/20000]

[Grade: Level 2 – Lord]

Not only did it have 20,000 HP, but it also had 20,000 Mana!

With these attributes, Wang Tao felt it was at least three times stronger than a gorilla zombie!

Even Jiang Shixue’s attributes weren’t as high as its!

If it were before, when Wang Tao had just over 6,000 HP, he probably wouldn’t chase after such a high-level zombie. After all, its attributes were too strong.

But now things were different, he had Jiang Shixue by his side!

Jiang Shixue had 19,000 HP and 16,000 Mana. She was also a Level 2, Lord, not much inferior to this zombie! That was the capital Wang Tao relied on to chase it down.

Although he had no idea why this zombie would run away upon seeing humans, now that he had set his sights on it, there was no reason for it to survive. This zombie, Wang Tao was determined to kill!

“Attack!”

Wang Tao directly ordered Jiang Shixue to take the lead.

After all, he only had a little over 6,000 HP, so he needed to be more cautious.

Jiang Shixue didn’t hesitate at all and jumped down directly.

However, to Wang Tao’s surprise, the green pustule-covered zombie immediately ran off, and its speed was incredibly fast!

But this was a dead end, and Jiang Shixue blocked the only path, so the zombie ran in a circle and returned to its original spot.

“Heh heh…”

The zombie growled at Jiang Shixue, but Wang Tao felt it seemed somewhat blustering but inwardly cowardly…

Swoosh—

Jiang Shixue’s calves tightened, and she charged toward the pustule-covered zombie. Her speed was not slow, reaching the zombie’s side in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

Jiang Shixue threw a punch directly at the pustule-covered zombie, and it was sent flying into the wall, creating spiderweb cracks all around it.

Jiang Shixue’s body was almost as tough as a zombie’s, some ordinary weapons weren’t as hard as her own body. So until Wang Tao found her a suitable weapon, she fought with her bare fists.

However, what surprised Wang Tao was that Jiang Shixue’s punch only took away 50 of the zombie’s HP!

Wang Tao rubbed his eyes; he hadn’t seen wrong, it was indeed 50!

Could this zombie have used some sort of defensive Ability?

“`

Otherwise, how could she have only 50 HP left? This was Jiang Shixue with nearly 20,000 HP!

Although Jiang Shixue couldn’t see the specific damage numbers, she frowned nonetheless. The zombie’s skull in front of her felt incredibly hard!

Whoosh——

Jiang Shixue, not convinced, charged again.

But this time, the pus-filled zombie reacted, dodging Jiang Shixue’s attack and continuing to run away.

Just as it was about to charge out of the junkyard, Wang Tao suddenly dropped from the sky, landing an axe strike on the pus-filled zombie’s head.

Bang!

[-15]

“…”

Wang Tao’s hands were numb from the shock of the blow, and he stared dumbfounded at the damage number.

He had jumped from the fourth floor, attacking from above, and scored a direct hit on the zombie’s head. And that caused only 15 points of damage?

The blow seemed to daze the pus-filled zombie a bit, and its body wobbled slightly.

Seeing this, Wang Tao swung his axe again.

This time, the axe was imbued with a shockwave.

Bang!

[-9]

[-4]

[19922/20000]

“…”

Seeing these damage numbers, Wang Tao was at a loss for words.

Whoosh——

The pus-filled zombie did not attack Wang Tao, but immediately ran backward.

Bang!

However, Jiang Shixue was blocking its path, her delicate fists striking simultaneously on the pus-filled zombie’s head.

[-57]

[19865/20000]

Whoosh——

The pus-filled zombie was hit so hard it was sent flying, landing in the pile of garbage again.

Wang Tao walked over to Jiang Shixue, keeping an eye on the zombie while quietly asking,

“Little Xue, how do you feel?”

“I can’t get through, it’s too hard…”

Jiang Shixue’s eyes were red, not from anger, but because she felt like she had discovered a fun new item.

She charged in once more.

This time, Wang Tao did not follow but stood guard at the entrance of the yard instead, to prevent the zombie from escaping—yes, the zombie was actually trying to escape!

Wang Tao had been somewhat disbelieving before; after all, since when did zombies run away upon seeing humans? But now he was certain, this zombie was not fighting back or striking back, it only ran!

This surprised Wang Tao greatly—this was a Level 2, Zombie Lord with 20,000 HP! It had no attacking ability? Its first reaction to seeing a survivor was to run away?

However unlikely it seemed, this was the reality right in front of him.

And the zombie’s defensive power was too absurd; even the strong Jiang Shixue couldn’t make an impact…

Wang Tao was dying to know what the Crystal Core of this zombie looked like! Could he learn this kind of defensive ability?

The battle between Jiang Shixue and the pus-filled zombie wasn’t fierce because the zombie was constantly dodging. It would occasionally throw a punch back at Jiang Shixue, but hitting her was like tickling—it didn’t make her lose a single drop of HP…

Jiang Shixue fought with it for several minutes, and the pus-filled zombie had only lost a little over 200 HP, still leaving it with 19,500 HP!

It was already highly defensive and fast, making Jiang Shixue’s hits not a sure thing…

Wang Tao was completely numb to it by this point, realizing that if things went on like this, even fighting until dark wouldn’t kill it!
