Zhang Chen walked ahead, Er Pang's massive body following slowly.
One person and one wolf turned the street corner.
They saw a simple defense line made of cabinets, wooden boards, and the like.
Outside the defense line.
A group of zombies were fighting over several corpses.
No, not corpses.
But living survivors.
Although some had their faces disfigured by bites, they were not yet dead.
Feeling Er Pang's pressure, the zombie horde reluctantly abandoned their food.
They slowly moved to the sides.
Some zombies still held bloody, sticky clumps of flesh in their hands, gnawing as they walked.
The air was filled with a putrid stench that made one nauseous.
Approaching.
Zhang Chen realized that the survivors' mouths had been sewn shut with thread, preventing them from making much noise.
Some were already turning into zombies, slowly crawling away.
Others were still gasping in pain.
But only blood flowed from their mouths.
The scene was extremely brutal.
Killing someone was one thing; torturing them was another.
Unless there was a deep-seated hatred, or someone with an extremely dark heart, they wouldn't torture others like this.
Er Pang bared its teeth, not because it encountered a powerful enemy.
But because it smelled the blood of living people.
That was why it was alert.
What's going on? Why is it so quiet? Did all the zombies leave?
Have they finished eating? No way, they finished so quickly?
I'll go take a look. I'll catch another unlucky guy later. The boss said that there must be enough zombies here to ensure that Arthur's people can't sneak up from this side!
Zhang Chen heard voices from the other side of the wall.
All languages were now universal, so it was impossible to tell what nationality the people on the other side were by their voices alone.
However, looking at the corpses outside the wall.
There were men and women, Caucasians and Asians, and people with slightly darker skin, resembling Nile people.
A moment later, a Westerner appeared on top of the cabinet wall, holding a shotgun.
He saw that all the zombies had moved aside.
Below stood Zhang Chen and the enormous Er Pang.
He cried out in fear:
There's a monster! Damn it, die, you dead monster!
Bang bang!
As he spoke, he fired two shots at Er Pang.
Unfortunately, such damage was completely ineffective against Er Pang's thick and tough fur.
Roar~
Er Pang leaped up.
A massive black shadow loomed over the defense line.
Immediately after, Er Pang's enormous body crushed the wall.
With a rumble.
The other person behind the wall didn't even get a chance to show their face.
They were crushed into a meat patty.
Er Pang bit the Westerner.
Without even shaking its head.
It instantly shattered the latter's bones.
Zhang Chen harvested the two Westerners.
Ding! Congratulations on harvesting [Energy Crystal Core] *60+48, [Shotgun] *1, [Shotgun Ammunition] *20, [Pistol] *1, [Pistol Ammunition] *50, [Storage Ring Fragment] *5.
Nothing good.
It's already the tenth day of the apocalypse, and only 60 crystal cores from two grown men combined? That's too trashy!
Looks like they didn't participate in much combat.
Zhang Chen turned back and harvested the survivors who had just died.
There weren't many crystal cores either.
As expected!
Those caught by these guys would not have been particularly strong.
Someone is invading! Someone is invading!
Quick, come here!
On the roof of a two-story building not far from the defense line.
There was also a sentry.
He saw Zhang Chen and Er Pang break through the defense line and immediately shouted while privately messaging his boss.
Such matters could not be discussed in the regional chat channel.
After all, the enemy Arthur's faction could also see the information in the regional chat channel.
What if they knew their side was under attack and took advantage of the situation?
So, apart from occasional verbal spats, the entire regional chat channel remained quiet most of the time.
The monster is here! Kill this monster!
Open fire! Open fire!
A group of Westerners, wearing tank tops, with tattoos on their arms, chests, necks, and all over, rushed out with various weapons.
Their reactions were almost uniformly the same.
All their targets were focused on Er Pang.
As for Zhang Chen, who was beside him, he was completely ignored.
Da da da da!
Bang bang!
Bullets shot out from all directions.
They hit Er Pang's fur with a "poof," and the impact air current slightly lifted the fur.
Then the bullets tinkled and fell to the ground.
Occasionally, stray bullets hit Zhang Chen, and the result was even more exaggerated.
Before the bullets could even touch his body, they stopped and inexplicably fell to the ground.
It was as if they had hit an invisible wall.
The bullets did not cause any damage to Zhang Chen in the first place, so the [Energy Barrier] did not consume any crystal cores.
Er Pang was attracted by the gunfire and roared, then suddenly lunged at the person on the second-floor roof who had called for help first.
A moment later, a corpse with a shattered skull was thrown down.
With a splat, it landed on the ground.
Er Pang pounced one by one.
These Westerners died one after another, screaming.
The scene was very much like a scene from a monster movie.
Except Er Pang had become the supervillain monster in the movie, and the Westerners had become reckless explorers.
Screams echoed all around.
Zhang Chen acted as if he couldn't see anything, and walked up to a mall whose entrance was firmly boarded up.
This is it!
Zhang Chen peered at the building, and soon, a prompt appeared:
[There is a Level 3 supply crate here, and a Giant Tank nearby. It poses no threat to you...]
Wow, even a Giant Tank poses no threat?
Zhang Chen slowly walked to the entrance of the mall and gently pulled.
The nailed wooden boards were torn down as if they were made of dried bamboo.
Bang!
A bullet hit the door.
Don't open this door unless you want to die here!
A strong Western man shouted, holding an assault rifle.
Gulp!
As soon as he finished speaking.
Er Pang swallowed him whole with a single bite.
Then it turned its head and nudged Zhang Chen as if to say: Don't worry, I'll protect you!
Then it dashed a few steps to the side and went to attack other survivors.
What a thoughtful little guy~
Zhang Chen pushed open the mall door and slowly walked in.
Roar~
A fierce roar came.
The massive figure of the Giant Tank leaped directly from the corridor on the third floor!
Zhang Chen took out his Thousand Bone Blade, exerted force with his legs, and leaped up violently.
One person and one corpse met in mid-air.
With a swish.
The Giant Tank was easily split in two by the Thousand Bone Blade.
Zhang Chen then jumped onto the third floor through the gap in the Giant Tank's body.
Killed in one move!
