Although Qin Shilei had also shot and killed more than a dozen climbing zombies, the remaining ones took the opportunity to scramble onto the bridge deck.
However, they were met by the evolutionaries of the second defense line, who were waiting in full battle array.
The zombies with pustules on their backs jumped down and charged rapidly towards the group of evolutionaries.
As these pustule zombies approached, they paused for a moment before opening their mouths and spitting out a ball of foul-smelling liquid.
"Ah!"
An evolutionary who was unlucky enough to be splashed by the liquid let out a pained cry.
His left hand had already been corroded by the liquid, exposing the white bone.
"Everyone be careful not to get hit by the venom spat by those mutated zombies," someone shouted a warning.
Qin Shilei, who had already jumped onto the bridge deck, was about to switch his short bow for the Blood Soul but seeing the situation, he decided to stick with the less powerful short bow.
An evolutionary skillfully dodged the venom and, reaching the mutated zombie, slashed off its head.
He was about to turn to a new target when he noticed that the mutated zombie's belly was rapidly swelling before exploding.
"Bang!"
Splattered venom landed on the bodies of three surrounding individuals.
Their screams of agony filled the air.
"Holy crap!"
Qin Shilei was also startled by the self-exploding zombie.
If he hadn't been careful and had been caught in such an explosion, the scene would have been unbearable to witness.
While nocking and firing arrows at the self-exploding zombies, Qin Shilei shouted, "Everyone, use ranged attacks to target those self-exploding zombies with pustules on their heads."
A bizarre scene then unfolded.
As soon as the self-exploding zombies got close, everyone around them scattered, leaving a large open space.
Ranged attacks such as arrows, ice cones, and fireballs were first aimed at the self-exploding zombies.
At this moment, Qin Shilei proved to be of unparalleled importance.
He was not only accurate with every shot but also fired with extreme speed.
He could kill a self-exploding zombie with a maximum of two arrows.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As the explosions continued to sound, the number of self-exploding zombies dwindled.
"Captain!"
Suddenly, an urgent cry came from the first defense line ahead.
Qin Shilei's heart skipped a beat. He ignored the last two self-exploding zombies and the spoils of his battle, and dashed forward like lightning.
Approaching the first defense line, he looked up and saw three colossal zombies charging towards them.
Three Tyrants!
High-speed bullets struck them but left not even a scratch.
Rocket launchers hit them, only causing them to sway slightly before continuing their charge.
"This zombie king's plan was quite good. First, they used climbing zombies to break through the second and third defense lines, then they sent in the Tyrants, hoping to take the entire bridge in one fell swoop."
Qin Shilei instantly understood why the climbing zombies and self-exploding zombies had not attacked the first defense line earlier.
"Use heavy caliber artillery!" a military officer yelled urgently.
"It will blow up the bridge," someone immediately vetoed.
The three Tyrants were only thirty to forty meters away from the defense line, and would reach it in less than three seconds.
Just then, a silver dragon shot from Qin Shilei's short bow, rapidly striking the foremost Tyrant.
Just like the first time he faced a Tyrant.
One arrow shattered the Tyrant's left arm, which it had raised to block its left eye, and then blew away the left side of its skull, exposing its white brain matter.
The muscles on the Tyrant's head twitched, attempting to protect the exposed brain.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Qiang swooped down from the sky, its claws accurately shredding the Tyrant's brain matter.
"You guys deal with the regular zombies, I'll handle the remaining two Tyrants."
Qin Shilei shouted as he drew his Blood Soul and charged forward.
The Tyrants were too close for him to fire another arrow imbued with lightning energy.
Fortunately, Xiao Qiang cooperated perfectly and killed the heavily wounded Tyrant with a single strike.
Otherwise, facing three Tyrants at once would have given Qin Shilei a headache.
The two approaching Tyrants roared as they ran towards him, activating their innate abilities and transforming into super-colossal zombies, four to five meters tall.
"Thump thump thump!"
Like ancient beasts, the Tyrants ran on the concrete road, leaving giant footprints and emitting earth-shattering footsteps.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Qiang swooped down from the sky again, targeting the head of the Tyrant running behind.
The Tyrant's colossal palm slammed towards Xiao Qiang's jade-like claws.
Xiao Qiang retracted its claws, evading the palm strike, and then flapped its wings forcefully, soaring back into the sky.
After circling once, it swooped down again. When it was about ten meters from the Tyrant, it suddenly spat out an arc-shaped energy sphere from its beak.
The Tyrant punched at the energy sphere.
The energy sphere shattered upon impact, leaving only a shallow bloody mark on the Tyrant's fist.
At this moment, Xiao Qiang was within three meters of the Tyrant's head. It lowered its head and its sharp beak fiercely pecked at the Tyrant's head.
The Tyrant still punched towards it.
Clang!
A metallic sound echoed.
Xiao Qiang's head was forced high up by the Tyrant's fist, while its beak inflicted a large wound on the Tyrant's fist, breaking three to four finger bones.
It flapped its wings forcefully and flew back into the sky.
"Roar roar!"
The Tyrant roared angrily at the sky.
Meanwhile, Qin Shilei had already engaged in close combat with the other Tyrant.
Instant Step!
Upon contact, Qin Shilei activated his acceleration skill.
He maneuvered agilely around the Tyrant.
Seven Stars Fall from the Sky!
His Blood Soul continuously left shallow sword marks on the Tyrant.
Seventh Sword!
Qin Shilei quickly landed six strikes, then leaped up and swung his sword towards the Tyrant's thick neck.
Perhaps sensing the power of Qin Shilei's strike, the Tyrant clenched its fist, which then glowed with a golden light as it slammed into the Blood Soul.
Ding!
After penetrating a few centimeters, the Blood Soul was knocked back by the immense force of the Tyrant's fist, pulling Qin Shilei with it.
Qin Shilei gracefully landed with an aerial flip, a hint of surprise on his face.
He hadn't expected this Tyrant to not only grow larger but also to coat its fist with a golden energy layer.
Its strength was also astonishingly great.
Even the seventh strike of Seven Stars Fall from the Sky couldn't sever its fist in one blow, and instead, he was repelled.
"Again!"
Qin Shilei quickly landed six more strikes on the Tyrant.
He then leaped up again.
Blood Reversal!
Qin Shilei simultaneously activated the skill on his Blood Soul.
The Tyrant clearly faltered.
Then, with a flash of cold light, the Tyrant's massive head fell to the ground.
Qin Shilei spun, avoiding the spray of blood that shot out.
After collecting the treasure chest and the Tyrant's head, he drew his short bow again and aimed at the last Tyrant.
That Tyrant was locked in an evenly matched battle with Xiao Qiang and hadn't noticed it was being targeted by death.
As the silver dragon flew past, the Tyrant turned and fled.
However, it hadn't run ten meters before being entangled by Xiao Qiang, and then was shot down again by Qin Shilei's silver dragon.
