Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Let’s Name This New Type of Zombie "Weapon-Type"!
This Evolver team hurried from the Survivor Base to Jianghai City, encountering quite a few types of Evolved Zombies along the way.
They encountered both Agile Zombies and Tank Zombies, and even had skirmishes with them.
Among the zombies they faced, the fighting style of these zombies resembled wild beasts.
To them, zombies are just zombies, nothing more than a group of thoughtless Bloodthirsty Monsters.
Their attacks merely consist of swinging claws or biting and pouncing, which can be fatal to regular people.
But these powerful Evolvers, with their abundant combat skills and coordinated teamwork, often manage to achieve final victory.
However...
The zombie before them is simply too outrageous!
The few of them stared wide-eyed, their gaze filled with shock!
They had encountered many zombies before, but this is the first time they’ve seen a zombie that can use weapons!
"What kind of monster is this, why can it use weapons?!"
"According to the base’s information, isn’t this a Tank-type Evolved Zombie? Since when did Tank-type Evolved Zombies get this powerful?"
Everyone in the team wore a look of astonishment.
As time progressed, the Survivor Base gradually published the types and characteristics of zombies currently discovered.
Before setting out, they had already reviewed much of this information.
The attack methods of Tank-type Zombies usually rely on their strong arms to destroy everything in front of them in a destructive manner.
The characteristics of Tank-type Zombies are that their bodies are unusually strong with extremely high defense.
Especially their arms, which seem forged of steel, making it hard even for ordinary Evolvers to inflict serious damage.
However, in terms of speed, Tank-type Zombies are slightly inferior.
The new Tier 2 Zombie in front of them, while matching the feature of a large, muscular and powerful physique, has a combat style that’s entirely different from the records!
"Could this Evolved Zombie have mutated?"
The bald Agile Evolver among the team, wielding a steel knife, spoke with a serious expression.
"The base says these zombies usually fight head-on, relying on strength to overpower the opponent."
"Look, this zombie is waving that metal stick; even though it follows the line of overwhelming power, the stick technique is very skilled, rather than mindless swinging."
"Its coordination between each attack and the utilization of various stick techniques make it resemble not a zombie but a skilled martial artist!"
Upon hearing this, all the members of the Evolution Team present wore serious expressions.
And while they were discussing in secret, ’Er Pang,’ under Lu Chuan’s control, relied on its strong physique and the more than one-ton steel staff, had already beaten the Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie to the ground, unable to move.
Crack! Crack!
The originally strong Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie’s bones were now fractured all over, unable even to stand.
Seeing the Tyrant Zombie in such a sorry state, Lu Chuan nodded satisfied.
Not long ago, he could only control zombies to flee crazily in front of him; now the tables have turned!
Lu Chuan controlled ’Er Pang’ to smash the Tyrant Zombie’s head to pieces with one swipe, simultaneously obtaining the Evolution Crystal Core from the zombie’s brain.
The Evolver team, who were hiding and observing from afar, felt unwilling upon seeing this scene.
They had spent quite a long time here to get the Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie’s Crystal Core.
Seeing that they had injured the Tier 2 Tyrant Zombie and would soon be able to defeat it, they would return to the Survivor Base to exchange it for a priceless Evolution Potion.
But they didn’t expect plans to change.
The suddenly appearing Tier 2 Tank-type Zombie disrupted their original plans.
Forget about obtaining the zombie’s crystal core; if they ran slower, they might have already perished under the stick.
Gangzi’s face was very dour; being chased by the Tier 2 Zombie so many times, finally having a chance to slay it, yet having to give up in vain, made him very unhappy.
Gangzi asked unwillingly, "We’re just going to let him go?!"
The four people next to him from the Survivor Squad turned to look at Gangzi bizarrely, and the squad captain made a gesture of invitation.
"You can go ahead; if you’re not afraid of dying, we have no objection."
That’s a joke.
A weapon-wielding Evolved Zombie’s combat strength is immediately doubled compared to ordinary Tier 2 Zombies.
Several squad members watched clearly; the steel stick wielded by this suddenly appearing Tank-type Zombie smashed the nearby small cars to scrap.
If this terrifying force struck them, they couldn’t withstand it.
Facing the Tier 2 Tyrant, they could still engage with coordinated teamwork, but against this Tank-type Zombie, there would be certain death.
Seeing Gangzi’s dissatisfaction, the squad captain lightly patted his shoulder.
"Live to fight another day; only by surviving can we gain more power."
"Furthermore, this zombie can even use weapons, which the base hadn’t discovered yet; if we report this new type of zombie, we can also earn Contribution Points."
The Contribution Points the captain spoke of, serve as currency within the base; after the apocalypse, past currency, and valuables from all countries are no longer applicable to life after the catastrophe.
Instead, Contribution Points can be used to buy anything inside the Survivor Base.
Acquiring Contribution Points is simple, like hunting zombies and mutant beasts, or collecting various supplies.
Collecting various intelligence also earns Contribution Points, especially if they report this information on the new type of zombie; the amount of Contribution Points earned would likely be considerable.
"No idea what this zombie is called; since it can use weapons, let’s call it Weapon-type Zombie."
The Evolver holding the military crossbow couldn’t help but say softly.
The others nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
However, Gangzi still showed traces of killing intent when looking at the massive Evolved Zombie.
"This zombie differs entirely from ordinary zombies, being able to use weapons."
"If it could be successfully killed, the Zombie’s core would surely be extremely valuable!"
Upon hearing Gangzi’s words, the few in the team exchanged glances, momentarily tempted.
Such an unusual zombie is incredibly rare; if they could bring back the crystal core, it’s sure to earn a massive amount of Contribution Points!
