The best tactic in a fight is always the element of surprise!
The opposing party is experienced in combat; they wouldn't possibly not understand such a simple principle!
But they deliberately said they wanted to kill me, to put me on guard, they must have an ulterior motive!
And besides...
The moment the big bearded man finished speaking, Zhang Chen noticed his gaze flick diagonally upwards behind him!
During a fight, both parties would definitely be staring directly at their opponents!
The big bearded man looking in this direction could only mean one thing!
There was an ambush!
Their words were just to draw my attention to them!
The real killer move was behind!
Zhang Chen understood this in the flash of lightning.
He then rolled on the ground and raised his riot shield to block to the side.
Clang!
A loud noise!
An arrow fiercely struck the riot shield and was then propelled high into the air!
Damn, there really was an ambush!
There was also a woman hidden in the dark, and her weapon was a bow and arrow!
Zhang Chen had to admit that this group of robbers was indeed quite capable.
Brutal, cunning, and they knew how to lay an ambush!
They basically possessed all the conditions for survival in the apocalypse!
An ordinary survivor would indeed have a hard time dealing with such a team!
If Zhang Chen hadn't encountered them today, they would definitely have become a dominant force in the future!
It's just a pity...
They picked the wrong opponent!
How is that possible? He discovered it?!
This guy is more troublesome than any opponent we've ever met!
In that case... we absolutely cannot leave any survivors, brothers, charge!
Kill!
The big bearded man roared and charged forward first.
The tattooed woman dodged to the side and rushed towards Er Pang.
Perfect, let me test the power of the sharpened Tang knife!
Zhang Chen didn't retreat but advanced, charging straight at these survivors!
Zhang Chen chose not to fire his gun because with so many people, it wasn't something that could be resolved with one or two shots!
Moreover, the zombies were too close.
They were extremely sensitive to sound.
Gunshots would drive the zombie horde into a frenzy!
At that time, the mere community fence would be unable to stop them.
They would even pile on top of each other to rush over the fence!
In that case, not only would Zhang Chen's carefully crafted plan be ruined!
With the sharpened Tang knife in hand, dealing with four opponents was not a problem!
Not to mention... Er Pang was here too!
Er Pang, go!
Zhang Chen roared and swung the Tang knife at the big bearded man's head!
Seeing Zhang Chen counterattack instead of defending!
The big bearded man sneered inwardly: Hmph, too young after all!
A riot shield is such a good defensive tool!
It's large, has strong resistance to impact, and it's transparent, allowing one to observe the opponent's strategy!
If Zhang Chen were to defend with the shield.
With their crude weapons like cleavers, fruit knives, and baseball bats.
It would indeed be difficult to harm Zhang Chen at all!
But it was different now that Zhang Chen was actively attacking.
As long as he blocked Zhang Chen's attack, and then kicked him.
The other three would swarm him, and Zhang Chen would surely die!
What a fool!
The big bearded man sneered and raised his chopping board to block.
He was burly and strong.
The chopping board on his arm was made of thick wood.
It would be difficult to chop through even with a bone-chopping knife.
Blocking the Tang knife was definitely not a problem!
It was possible the Tang knife would get stuck in the chopping board.
If that were the case... the fight would be even simpler!
*Splat!*
*Ching!*
Before the big bearded man could finish his daydream.
He felt a chill on his arm!
Half of his arm, along with the ten-centimeter-thick chopping board, was cleanly sliced off.
Blood gushed out from the stump of his arm!
Ah!~
The big bearded man screamed.
Zhang Chen didn't give him a chance to react and swung again.
He decapitated the big bearded man!
*Squelch!*
More gushing blood sprayed onto the faces of the three behind him.
Ah?!
The boss is dead?!
Avenge our boss!
*Splat, splat, splat!*
Zhang Chen swung his knife rapidly three times.
Each strike directly severed the opponent's weapon and then struck their bodies!
Every blow drew blood!
What cleavers, baseball bats...
In front of Zhang Chen's sharpened Tang knife, they were all like tofu!
In an instant, the four men who had confronted Zhang Chen head-on all fell into pools of blood.
This... How is this possible?!
The tattooed woman had only just reached Er Pang.
Previously, she had intended to kill Er Pang directly.
But now, seeing Zhang Chen's ferocity...
She had no choice but to try and grab Er Pang to use as a hostage, to force Zhang Chen to let her go!
With this thought, the tattooed woman quickly put away her cleaver and reached out to grab the scruff of Er Pang's neck.
The scruff of the neck is a weak point for both felines and canines.
Once grabbed, their entire body becomes weak.
However, just as the tattooed woman's hand was about to touch Er Pang.
Er Pang suddenly, with a *bang*, transformed from a mere twenty-centimeter-long puppy wolf.
Into a large war wolf nearly two meters long!
Its speed was almost as fast as inflation!
White, bone-chilling fangs longer than fingers protruded from its mouth.
It exuded a dangerous aura!
Huh? What's going on?
Before the tattooed woman could react.
Er Pang bit down fiercely, clamping onto half of the woman's shoulder.
Then, it began to shake violently!
It tossed the woman into the air, jumped up to bite her again, and dragged her across the ground.
With just a few bites, half of the woman's life was gone.
One of her shoes was even flung off.
Seeing that she was about to suffocate.
Er Pang then released its grip and barked at the woman a few times.
Er Pang, go catch this guy!
Zhang Chen picked up the arrow that had fallen on the ground and placed it near Er Pang's nose, letting it sniff.
*Awoo~*
Er Pang let out a long howl to the sky.
Then it ran towards the building nearby.
Please... kill me...
The tattooed woman lay on the ground, her upper body a bloody mess.
Blood continued to seep from her mouth.
She was clearly not going to survive.
I... I don't want to turn into those monsters...
The tattooed woman begged, using her last bit of strength.
Zhang Chen remained unmoved, standing by the woman's side with a blank expression.
A moment later, the woman breathed her last.
Zhang Chen began to count the seconds...
1...
2...
3...
......
When Zhang Chen reached the 25th second.
The tattooed woman on the ground suddenly opened her eyes, her face covered in purple veins!
*Plop!*
Zhang Chen plunged the Tang knife into the zombie's head.
25 seconds! It takes 25 seconds for a dead person to turn into a zombie...
Perhaps it varies slightly depending on a person's physique, but the time is roughly the same!
At least it's not the type that takes a long time to change after death!
Zhang Chen nodded, having grasped another important piece of information!
