[Life Siphon]: Can siphon 100% of the attacker's life force from enemies and transfer it to a designated target (including oneself), healing the latter. During the siphoning process, the target will gradually lose collectible crystal cores. If the siphoning causes the target's death, the target will lose all crystal cores within their body and cannot be collected.
This middle-aged woman was simply too weak.
She couldn't even withstand a single blow from Zhang Chen.
Her HP was instantly reduced to zero, and her corpse became uncollectible as it shriveled and fell to the ground.
The absorbed dark red life force swirled in Zhang Chen's palm.
The frost damage he had just sustained was negligible; he didn't need healing at all.
Wasting this energy would be a shame.
Zhang Chen glanced around.
Er Pang was directing the wolf pack in battle, and the mutated individuals couldn't get close.
Xiao Bai had just twisted a giant's neck and was laughing as she ran laps with over a dozen survivors.
Every now and then, she would knock down whoever was running the fastest or slowest.
The survivors knew they couldn't catch Xiao Bai, but they dared not give up. If they stopped, they would be passively surrounded by her.
These two didn't need his help.
Zhang Chen's gaze shifted to the clones who had initially transformed into Hill and several burly men.
Their identities had been exposed, and to prevent friendly fire, they had reverted to their true appearances.
The clones were being surrounded by enemies numbering several times their own force and were constantly falling back.
The ninety-odd clones ambushing inside the restaurant were pouring out, making it difficult to cross the battlefield and support their besieged teammates in the enemy's rear.
Just as he saw a clone hit by a concentrated energy blast, her body exploding with a gap, blood flowing profusely.
Zhang Chen waved his left hand gently.
The life force siphoned from the middle-aged woman instantly surged towards the heavily wounded clone's body.
The survivors, seeing a clone successfully injured, cheered up and were about to celebrate.
Suddenly, they witnessed the injured clone's wound rapidly heal at a visible speed. In a second or two, her body returned to normal!
What... what kind of ability is this? Invincible?
A survivor exclaimed.
What? Are these guys immortal? How are we supposed to fight them?
Resurrection, isn't that the ability of the infected? Could these guys be infected?
A group of survivors said in panic.
Their previously aggressive attacking momentum vanished instantly.
The group simply surrounded the clones, but no one dared to step forward. Some were even subtly retreating.
It wasn't that the infected were that invincible.
The combat methods against survivors and against the infected were entirely different.
Upon reaching the mutated stage, the body's resistance significantly increased.
Even if scratched by a blade stained with the blood of the infected, such a low dose of viral infection would have no effect on the body.
Anything more severe would only result in a fever that would subside after a day's rest.
However, being directly injured by an infected being was different.
The higher the level of the infected, the higher the viral content and the stronger the toxicity. A mere scratch would surely lead to infection and corpse transformation.
Therefore, one could fight recklessly against survivors without fear of injury.
But when fighting the infected, one had to be cautious and meticulous. Even a graze on the skin had a high probability of transforming into an infected.
At this moment, the survivors looked at each other. Each of them was more or less stained with the blood of enemies or teammates.
It was impossible to tell if anyone had been infected.
Just then, two survivors suddenly screamed.
Purple veins snaked along their neck veins towards their faces...
Not good, they're indeed infected, they have the virus in them!
They're about to turn, kill them, quickly!
Survivors in the distance shouted.
However, the survivors nearby were already terrified.
The infection and transformation were faster than expected.
The mutation was completed almost before the surrounding people could react in shock.
A wailing one, and a giant tank.
Run! We can't win this fight at all, the enemy is an infected being we've never seen before!
Zuo Nan lied to us, this isn't day 30-60 of the apocalypse, it's clearly after day 60, we were deceived!
Take down these monsters! Don't run, don't run, you can't escape anyway!
Regardless of Xigeman's shouts, the survivors' morale had collapsed.
Especially when someone yelled that it was now after day 60 of the apocalypse.
This statement was like a death knell, instantly shattering everyone's psychological defense.
They had been enslaved for so long, their fighting spirit had long been worn down.
The reason they fought so bravely now was entirely because they felt they were the strong ones in this world, in a dominant position.
Therefore, when this foundation of confidence was shattered, they naturally fell into complete disarray.
Xigeman was also shaken by Zhang Chen's ferocity.
He possessed the Eye of Insight, but this ability only worked on survivors wearing dark red rings, making it impossible to identify Zhang Chen's tier.
Based on the strength Zhang Chen was displaying, even if he wasn't an evolver, his strength was definitely around that of a high-level mutant.
What made Xigeman despair the most was Zhang Chen's talents.
Soul Burn + Frenzied Execution, wasn't that a dual talent?
That alone was terrifying enough, but his awakened mutant talent was also outrageously powerful.
He possessed skills that Xigeman had never seen before.
As long as Zhang Chen approached a survivor,
The latter's life force was rapidly depleted. For weaker survivors, even their energy shields would shatter instantly!
These skills were sometimes dark and venomous, sometimes radiant.
Xigeman couldn't fathom, no matter how he racked his brain, how these two diametrically opposed super-talents could merge in one person!
This... this is too unscientific!
Fearing that the clones would turn all these precious crystal cores into infected, Zhang Chen activated Infinite Blink.
With every blink, at least one survivor would vanish into mist, sometimes even three or four disappearing together...
Xigeman wanted to run, but found himself surrounded by Zhang Chen's subordinates.
His teammates were being slaughtered one by one, and some were even directly infected...
This... this is a nightmare!
Xigeman had suffered two severe blows in his life. One was when the Soul Organization overran his camp.
The other was now...
Within a few minutes, Xigeman's subordinates were wiped out.
He was left as a lone commander, shrinking into a ball and kneeling on the ground, terrified.
This one, Xiao Bai's!
Xiao Bai instantly appeared behind Xigeman and swung her fist.
No, this one is useful, Dad!
Zhang Chen waved his hand.
Sigh, alright!
Xiao Bai's fist stopped an inch away from Xigeman's head.
The powerful gust of wind made Xigeman's neck sting.
I... I'm saved?
Zhang Chen smiled slightly, thinking: This guy has the lowest IQ, he's easy to fool. It would be a waste to kill him!
