Bypassing the rubble piled near the fissure, the city, protected within high walls, gradually came into view for Zhang Chen.
The city within the walls was no different from the outside.
However, the streets and buildings here were relatively intact, and what surprised Zhang Chen the most was that the power was still on!
Not only were the defense systems on the city walls powered, but the vending machines along the streets were still flashing colorful lights, and the shops and restaurants along the streets also had lights on.
The streets were densely populated with zombies.
This scene was like a sudden flashback to the apocalypse thirty days ago.
He used to think that such an environment was too harsh, and survival was impossible.
But looking back now, that kind of life was simply paradise.
At least in the malls, you could find all sorts of daily necessities, and in the supermarkets, you could find countless snacks and foods.
You could clear out any residential building and find at least one clean bed...
But now, in this apocalypse...
The entire city was desolate and decaying, with no resources to scavenge.
The ground and buildings were covered in unknown plants.
Although these plants were not very combat-effective, they could mess up your living environment terribly.
Survivors without food could only obtain food by fighting mutant plants and mutant creatures, and this food was, more often than not, extremely unpalatable.
Ah, how he missed the days when he had just transmigrated!
Zhang Chen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The only difference between this place and the world thirty days ago was the dense presence of high-level zombies as far as the eye could see.
There wasn't a single ordinary zombie here; the weakest was a crawler!
Ordinary zombies, after a partial release of the apocalypse's suppression, appeared rotted and decayed, with significantly reduced combat power.
However, advanced zombies like crawlers and above were the exact opposite.
Not only had they not weakened, but their strength had also greatly increased with the release of the apocalypse's suppression!
At this moment, the crawlers still had their eerie appearance, but they were now covered in a layer of tough, flesh-colored armor, and their claws had become longer and sharper.
Zhang Chen focused his gaze on them.
He discovered that besides their original skill, [Piercing Shriek], the crawlers had gained a new skill: [Death Parasite]. Any crawler that was killed would have a parasitic spine emerge from its corpse. Humans infected by the spine would transform into a type of infected, losing their intellect but enhancing their physical combat prowess.
Their strength remained that of a Type II mutated infected.
It felt like they had become more troublesome.
Zhang Chen frowned slightly.
Roar!
Seeing the zombie horde in position, Er Pang let out an excited roar.
It preferred eating zombie meat; after all, insect meat was either too smelly or too unpalatable.
Delicious shellfish, and the like, Zhang Chen and Xiao Bai kept for themselves, only giving them to Er Pang when they were in a good mood.
So, this was equivalent to arriving at a buffet for it.
Drool dripped onto the ground.
Caw, caw, caw...
Caw, caw...
The long-lost calls of the crawlers.
They instantly turned their heads towards Er Pang and then, with strange cries, charged forward.
Another great battle was about to begin!
Zhang Chen, holding Xiao Bai, slowly jumped down from Er Pang's back.
Caw, caw, caw...
Huh?
As the crawlers approached within a hundred meters of Er Pang, they suddenly stopped.
As if blocked by some barrier...
[Wolf King's Majesty]?
Could Er Pang now instantly kill even these evolved crawlers?
Zhang Chen was slightly taken aback.
If that were the case, it would save a lot of trouble.
And these infected, according to the prompts, shouldn't pose any threat to him!
Oh, they don't dare to come over, this is so boring!
Xiao Bai pouted, saying with some disappointment.
It's okay, they don't dare to come over, but there are others who do!
Zhang Chen squinted, smiling broadly.
Because among the countless zombie hordes, he saw a familiar figure: the Type III mutated infected, the Giant Tank!
This guy was still as sturdy and powerful as ever, but this time, thick keratin had grown on its body.
At first glance, it looked like a strongman wearing heavy armor.
Along the outer sides of its forearms, a sharp blade had grown.
Similarly, its skills had been updated:
[Minor Regeneration]: Possesses strong tissue regeneration capabilities, able to quickly repair wounds even during combat.
This guy originally needed a certain proportion of tissue to be destroyed to be killed; now, not only was it tougher, but its wounds could also rapidly self-heal, greatly increasing its strength!
Roar~
The Giant Tank in the distance looked at Er Pang and let out a fierce roar.
Thump, thump, thump!
It took heavy steps, gathering all its strength, and charged towards Er Pang like a tank, unstoppable.
The crawlers along the way actively made way for it.
Hiss... these crawlers were not as foolish as they were at the beginning.
They seemed to have a bit of intelligence, at least knowing that if they didn't move, they would be trampled to death.
Roar!
Er Pang bared its teeth and entered a combat state.
Leave this to me!!
Xiao Bai eagerly declared, putting on its mask and gauntlets, and directly stood in front of Zhang Chen.
This was not to protect Zhang Chen, but to prevent Zhang Chen from snatching away this big toy.
Alright, let's finish this quickly!
Zhang Chen nodded helplessly.
Although the Giant Tank had become stronger, it was still only a Type III mutated existence.
He had encountered Type IV mutated creatures and was confident that a Giant Tank of this level would not be a match for Xiao Bai.
It was a good opportunity to let Xiao Bai vent its boundless energy!
Zhang Chen slowly walked towards the vending machine by the roadside.
It was filled with a dazzling array of food and daily necessities.
In the topmost slot, there was even a sealed map!
This was good stuff!
Zhang Chen took out paper money and inserted it into the machine, starting to buy everything inside one by one.
Anyway, Xiao Bai was playing and wouldn't be going anywhere for a while; he might as well relax and treat it like a vacation.
Behind him, Xiao Bai and the Giant Tank were engaged in a fierce battle.
Roar!
The Giant Tank's massive body was slammed heavily onto the ground by Xiao Bai.
Then, the petite figure rode on the Giant Tank's body, and its seemingly weak yet incredibly powerful fists hammered into the Giant Tank's body.
The speed of its punches was so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
The Giant Tank's keratin armor shattered and flew everywhere.
Red blood splattered all over the place...
In a short while, Xiao Bai's fight was over. wΑp.kanshu伍.net
The massive Giant Tank was almost embedded in the ground, its appearance unrecognizable, its death most miserable.
Zhang Chen, holding the map, was lost in thought.
Because on the map, he saw a line of small text: Raven A083 Weapons Research Center!
