Being loud is a good thing.
Although Zhang Chen had gained two extra skills, giving him more confidence in dealing with these mutated zombies.
But sneakiness is paramount!
The fewer mutated zombies he faced simultaneously, the lower his injury rate.
The higher his safety coefficient!
Even as an Awakened, Zhang Chen still hadn't gained immunity to the zombie virus!
This forced him to be extra careful!
"Er Pang, you take care of the one on the ground, I'll handle the one on the rooftop!"
Zhang Chen said, gently patting Er Pang's thick back.
*Woof woof~*
Er Pang wagged its tail.
In its enhanced state, even its tail strikes were quite powerful.
Just a few casual swings against Zhang Chen's arm felt searingly painful!
"Let's go!"
Zhang Chen gave the command.
Er Pang charged out first, its speed significantly increased!
Its massive body directly smashed through the glass door, and its sand-pot-sized claws heavily slammed onto the crawler's back!
*Gugugu*
The crawler on the rooftop noticed Er Pang and was about to launch an attack.
Zhang Chen immediately activated the skill 'Rage'!
Then, he felt as if he had been injected with stimulants!
His pupils dilated, his pores opened, and a surge of furious rage erupted from his heart!
"Aah~!"
Zhang Chen leaped violently, covering a distance of four to five meters.
His Tang dao swung down!
He directly cleaved the rooftop crawler in half!
A single, decisive blow!
At this moment, the crawler by the elevator also noticed Zhang Chen's presence and let out a strange cry as it charged over.
Simultaneously, the long-haired monster, the Venomous Insect Breeder, slowly turned its face.
It was a face on the verge of melting.
Its skin was so loose it seemed about to drip down.
A large mouth was unnaturally stretched from ear to ear.
"So incredibly ugly!"
*Squish!*
Although the Venomous Insect Breeder moved slowly, it could attack remotely!
It opened its mouth and suddenly spat out a blob of sticky liquid, which flew towards Zhang Chen!
"Just in time!"
Zhang Chen sidestepped, dodging the crawler's pounce.
He followed up by grabbing the crawler's legs with both hands.
He pulled back with all his might!
He directly used the crawler to block himself and the Venomous Insect Breeder.
*Splat!*
The sticky green corrosive liquid landed squarely on the crawler's body!
*Squeak~ Squeak~*
The crawler let out a squealing cry in pain.
Wisps of smoke rose from its back.
It seemed this corrosive substance dealt significant damage.
If it had landed on skin, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
[If you thought it was just corrosive fluid it spat, you'd be wrong. This blob contains venomous insects! The Venomous Insect Breeder's name isn't for nothing!]
The prompt popped up again!
"Venomous insects?"
Zhang Chen stomped his foot and kicked the crawler forcefully, sending it flying over ten meters away!
The effect of 'Rage' was truly exhilarating!
Zhang Chen felt his combat power had increased by a whole level!
These crawlers were like mere toys in front of him!
Just as the crawler was kicked away.
A four-legged monstrous insect crawled out from its back.
It had originally intended to sneak attack Zhang Chen.
But with this movement, it was forcefully pinned down by the crawler and dragged over ten meters.
A trail of deep green viscous fluid was left on the ground!
The venomous insect was dead!
This little thing was not only fast but also covered in corrosive liquid.
Even a slight contact would be no joke!
Fortunately, its body was extremely fragile and could be easily killed!
*Gwa~ Gwa~*
The Venomous Insect Breeder spat out two more blobs of green liquid.
Without the crawler as a shield, Zhang Chen quickly lunged forward.
He covered another five to six meters in an instant!
Effortlessly dodging the liquid attacks!
The reason Zhang Chen didn't choose to block with his riot shield was that he felt it wasn't worth it!
What if the riot shield couldn't withstand the corrosion either? Wouldn't that be equivalent to him actively disabling a piece of equipment?!
When facing monsters with ranged attacks like this.
It's best to dodge if possible!
A shield is only for life-saving purposes, used when there's no other option!
One blob of liquid hit the wall, and the other landed on the ground.
Soon, the marble on the wall and the ground began to smoke and bubble.
In a short while, a large pit had been corroded.
Following that, two green, spider-like insects with four legs and the size of a palm crawled out.
They scurried rapidly towards Zhang Chen!
Their bodies were covered in corrosive liquid.
Wherever they went, they left corrosive footprints on the ground.
"These guys are truly troublesome!"
Zhang Chen quickly moved to the crawler that had just gotten up.
He swung his blade down fiercely.
Before the opponent could react, its body was split in two!
Although the venomous insects moved fast, they were small.
They couldn't catch up to Zhang Chen for the moment.
*Gwa!*
Another blob of liquid!
This time, it hit the glass wall of the gym.
It instantly corroded a hole through it.
The venomous insect fell into the gym.
In a short while, it corroded through the glass and crawled out!
"I have to end this quickly!"
These insects were becoming more numerous.
The longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for him!
"Use skill: Energy Convergence Strike!"
Zhang Chen thought.
A strong blue light erupted from his left palm!
Then, a shockwave, similar to a Kamehameha from Dragon Ball, shot out from his hand!
It directly struck the Venomous Insect Breeder's abdomen!
*Sizzle...*
*Bang!*
*Plop!*
The Venomous Insect Breeder exploded like a water balloon.
Corrosive liquid splattered everywhere.
The entire mall was filled with a pungent, irritating odor!
With the death of the Venomous Insect Breeder.
The venomous insects following Zhang Chen also let out a squeak.
They all fell to the ground, their bodies facing the sky... dead!
So, as long as the mother creature was eliminated, all these little ones would die!
"Fortunately, fortunately!"
Zhang Chen had been worried.
What if he encountered multiple Venomous Insect Breeders? They wouldn't need to do anything else.
Just spitting out dozens of untouchable venomous insects would be enough to kill him!
Zhang Chen's battle was over.
Er Pang's battle was also nearing its end.
It, along with two enhanced Moon-Howling wolf pups, formed a pack of three wolves, surrounding the crawler.
The latter's two arms were bitten off, and one leg had disappeared.
Its entire body was covered in wounds.
The three Moon-Howling wolves tore at the crawler's body.
After a fierce struggle.
*Squeak!*
The crawler was torn into three pieces.
Its spine was broken into several sections!
This wasn't a battle at all.
It was more like Er Pang leading two subordinates on a hunt!
Now it was like they were feasting on prey!
Seeing how the crawler died, Zhang Chen suddenly felt a bit of pity for it!
