Chapter 98: Fate
I haven't seen it for a while, and this evolved zombie has become a little different from before.
The height of less than two meters has grown to more than two meters, reaching about two meters and two or three. Lu Li, who was about 1.75 meters tall, stood in front of it, like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child standing in front of an adult.
Its head was still hideous, covered in scars. These scars were all memories that Lu Li had left with a bullet containing a special enzyme. By this time, the scars had long since healed, and the gray keratinized crust covered them, forming pimples like toads.
Especially the obvious scar on its neck, which made Lu Li's heart sink to the bottom. The scar looked like it had just crusted over, and the rough, grayish crust turned outward, revealing a shriveled, pitch-black vein underneath.
Lu Li didn't believe that a highly evolved zombie like it would not be able to heal a trivial wound. He even thinks that this guy is showing that he has hated himself to the extreme, and he must always remember this hatred at the expense of leaving a weakness.
That's right, that's fate. Only one of the two sides can survive.
Lu Li's death means that there is no longer any threat to the virus. Zombies will quickly take over China, and then the entire world. Unless there is another primordial evolutionary like Lu Li in the world, humanity will be in danger of extinction.
Conversely, if this evolved zombie dies. That would mean the end of the catastrophe. As the first generation of evolutionary zombies, the viruses contained in its body, both in virulence and mutation, far exceed those of other zombies. If it dies, the highly mutable virus in its body will be extinct. The evolution rate of viruses in other zombies will be greatly reduced to freezing. This will buy humanity enough time to develop a vaccine that will eventually end this catastrophe once and for all.
In the dark, both sides were already vaguely aware of this.
The Evolution Zombie's ruby eyes burst with a terrifying red glow. It stared at Lu Li, who was a few meters away, twisting its neck from time to time, and letting out a low, vigilant roar, looking a little irritated.
And Lu Li was not to be outdone. His face sank like water, and he pulled out the dagger at his waist with his backhand, staring at it without blinking. Neither side took the lead in attacking.
One minute...... Two minutes...... Three-minute ...... Half an hour passed, and both sides kept this distance, motionless. By this time, the first floor had become very chaotic.
Luo Yufeng was in front, the others were in the middle, and Yang Yuting was behind. The group smashed into the zombie crowd like sharp arrows and headed straight for the stairs.
None of the zombies were able to break through Luo Yufeng's mental barrier. One by one, the zombies seemed to be hit head-on by a heavy truck, and they were knocked away from a distance, smashing over the boss's zombies.
Although Liu Qiang and Ma Fengshan are not evolutionaries, they are also strengthened human beings who are several times more than ordinary people. They each carried a water pipe more than half a meter long in each hand, and smashed it into the zombies that rushed to the front. One by one, the zombies were knocked down by their strange power, and they couldn't struggle for a long time.
These zombies finally regained their body balance, and just supported their bodies, but unexpectedly, another steel pipe smashed in. The skull, which was far harder than ordinary people, was suddenly smashed as if it was made of flour.
Yang Yuting quickly pulled back the steel pipe, and it was another sweep. The terrifying power contained in the steel pipe is surprisingly amazing. Whenever a zombie touches this deadly steel pipe, it hits the head or the chest. It was as if a grenade had been inserted into the body above that part of the body and exploded.
Her strange power has been further improved.
Under the terrifying strange force, the two steel pipes more than half a meter long on her left and right hands turned into peerless murder weapons. Every time the steel pipe was swung out, a large number of zombies fell like straws. The unlucky ghost who suffered directly and head-on was knocked off the upper half of his body. Without waiting for the lower half of her body to fall, Yang Yuting had already walked briskly, firmly guarding the back of Liu Qiang and the others.
The group was not an ordinary person, and it was moving fast. The crowd rushed to the bottom of the stairs, which was already crowded with zombies. The narrow staircase can only accommodate five people walking side by side, which is exactly what Luo Yufeng wants.
As soon as the telekinetic barrier was opened, not a single zombie could break through this barrier and approach the group. However, those zombies don't have the extra intelligence to think about why they can't get close to these humans. They're always rushing at you. What's more, he jumped up directly, opened his hands and pounced straight down.
The pop sound was endless. One by one, the zombies bounced off the invisible telekinetic barrier and fell straight downstairs. It seems to be okay for the time being, but unfortunately it is impossible to stay on the stairs for too long.
Luo Yufeng opened the way in front and rushed to the middle of the stairs like a bamboo. At this time, the weakness of the telekinetic barrier that could only protect him alone was highlighted.
Zombies swooped down one after another, racing over the heads of the other zombies. But as Luo Yufeng moved forward, Liu Qiang and the others behind him seemed to have stripped off their clothes, helplessly welcoming these jumping zombies.
At this time, it fully showed the extraordinary character of Liu Qiang and others. They faced the zombies that followed, calmly analyzed and judged their landing points, and then picked up the steel pipe in their hands and picked it up. After a busy time, there was nothing to do in the middle of the team, and they moved forward peacefully.
The group rushed to the seventh floor to reinforce Lu Li. And the evolved zombie on the seventh floor noticed the strangeness downstairs and immediately let out a roar of anger.
With the roar, the whole mall went crazy.
Hundreds of thousands of zombies gathered from the annex building and various shops. In just a few moments, every floor was filled with zombies. The black pressed a large number of zombies to rush forward, and even Luo Yufeng was shocked into a cold sweat.
"Grass, there are so many zombies. What the hell is this place? ”
He stopped, gasping for breath. has been bearing the impact of countless zombies in front, and his body is very depleted. Spreading the mental barrier for a long time also puts a heavy load on his brain.
At this time, Lu Li also noticed that the situation of Luo Yufeng and the others was very bad. He knew that if he didn't do anything, Luo Yufeng and the others would probably not be able to withstand the siege of such a huge number of zombies. And there is only one solution to the dilemma of their group.
Kill this evolved zombie in front of you.
He finally took the lead. He held the dagger behind his back, placed it across his chest, and slowly approached the evolved zombie step by step. The latter seemed to sense the anxiety in his heart, and instead of meeting the attack, he retreated step by step with the frequency of his steps.
The intelligence of the evolved zombie was beyond Lu Li's expectations. He had already overestimated this fateful rival a lot, but he didn't expect this evolved zombie to be so smart, knowing that he was worried about the safety of Luo Yufeng and the others, and took the initiative to retreat and delay time.
He quickly glanced downstairs. Luo Yufeng was fine, the telekinesis barrier was surprisingly effective on the narrow staircase. Yang Yuting is also fine. A strange force that no one can stop. None of the zombies rushing up from below or the zombies falling from the sky could get close to her within a meter of her.
But Liu Qiang and the other four were obviously struggling. They are all strengthened human beings, and their strength is several times or ten times greater than that of ordinary people. But they are still human after all. It's okay for a short time, but after a long time, they can't bear it. Most of the zombies that pounced from above were picked up and flew downstairs. But a handful of zombies broke through their defenses and fell down the stairs.
These zombies made Liu Qiang and the others nervous. Before they could break free from their dizziness, several people hurriedly took the time to make up for their heads.
Lu Li saw that Liu Qiang and the others were gradually exhausted, and he couldn't care about any caution anymore. He suddenly rose from the ground and leaped into the air, holding the dagger forward with his right hand, stabbing the scar on the neck of the evolved zombie.
His arrogance completely infuriated the Evolved Zombies. Although it has a high IQ and knows how to analyze shapes, it still looks like a five- or six-year-old child, and it is irritated if it is light.
It no longer backs in time to stall. Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Li was in mid-air and had nowhere to borrow strength, it suddenly accelerated, and hit Lu Li in mid-air with open hands and outstretched hands. It's a lose-lose style of play.
"Die!"
Lu Li let out a low cry and shook his right wrist violently. The dagger immediately came out of his hand, shooting straight at the scar on the neck of the evolved zombie. He naturally knew that it was not a good thing to fight with the Evolution Zombie to lose both. God knows how far the virus in this guy's body has evolved over the past few days.
It's not a big deal if it gets out and gets stabbed. But even if you are rubbed with a little oily skin, you may be infected with a more powerful virus, and you will lose your ability to resist.
The evolved zombie didn't expect Lu Li to deliberately reveal a flaw, and there was a hidden kill move behind him. A hint of panic flashed in its eyes, and it twisted its neck at the last moment.
Lu Li's hidden killing move failed to succeed. The sharp dagger flew past the neck of the evolved zombie, bringing up a trail of black blood that was so thick that it could be pulled into silk, and then landed on the glorious tile with a clang, sliding out for several meters.
The evolved zombie was caught off guard, and his hands involuntarily stagnated, unable to hold Lu Li for the first time. Taking advantage of this moment, Lu Li's waist twisted, and he changed the center of gravity of his body, and a rabbit kicked the eagle, kicking the chest of the evolved zombie.
The evolved zombie couldn't withstand the strange power that Lu Li had already recovered, and took several steps back. At the same time, its hands were folded. The jet-black nails grazed the T-shirt, pulling out a cut of more than ten centimeters long.
Without waiting for the evolved zombie to stand firm, as soon as Lu Lifu landed, he immediately supported the ground with both hands, and struck another sweeping leg, hitting the left ankle of the evolved zombie hard. Suddenly, only a soft click was heard, and the body of the evolved zombie staggered, and he fell on his head.
A roar of anger echoed. The Evolution Zombie was frustrated one after another, and his eyes flashed red with anger. When Lu Li saw it, he immediately rolled on the spot and retreated three or four meters away.
The trapped beast is still fighting, and the counterattack before death must not be careless.
Now that the Evolution Zombie has broken its left leg, it will not be able to regain its balance in a short period of time. He has the absolute upper hand, and he can't afford to take risks and fight his way.
But he underestimated the cunning of the Evolved Zombies.
With a roar, the Evolution Zombie struggled to get up from the ground, staggering to pounce. But just as the severed left foot had taken a step, it suddenly changed direction and jumped over the railing.
"Fooled."
Lu Li was shocked, and hurriedly rushed forward. Looking down, the evolved zombie was like a large ape, agile climbing between floors and quickly falling towards the first floor.
After a while, the evolution zombie fell to the ground and looked up at the seventh floor. After a while, it roared and limped towards the main entrance. When the rest of the zombies heard the roar, they immediately stopped besieging Luo Yufeng and the others, and rushed to the first floor from all the passages.
There was a chaotic sound of ping-pong, and the evolved zombie took the lead in breaking down the barrier that sealed the main entrance. The dense swarm of zombies surging like fellow army ants spread in all directions.
Lu Li watched the Evolution Zombie lead the crowd to flee here, and he felt great regret in his heart. A great opportunity to kill an old enemy was wasted. But fortunately, at least Luo Yufeng and the others have been freed. No zombies continue to besiege them.
Just when he was both remorseful and happy, suddenly a gunshot rang out, Yang Yuting's body shook, she fell on the stairs with her back to the sky, and her bones rolled down.
