Seeing that Qin Shilei remained unmoved.
Tang Haotian shouted again, "Do you have any sense of responsibility? Without me to tank the monsters, do you, an archer, think you can withstand so many mutated zombies?"
Even as he shouted, his speed didn't slow, and he continued to charge straight towards Qin Shilei.
Qin Shilei saw through his intentions at a glance.
By luring the zombie king to run past him, as long as the zombie king attacked him, or he attacked the zombie king, the effect of diverting disaster would be achieved.
He would then gain valuable time to escape.
Qin Shilei raised his bow and aimed forward, his target being Tang Haotian's thigh.
"Bastard!"
Tang Haotian changed direction, preparing to escape towards the end of the passage from the other side.
But then he heard a deathly wind howl from behind him.
Bronze Skin, Iron Bones!
Tang Haotian activated his special ability again.
A mass of dark mist rapidly struck Tang Haotian's back.
Upon contact, it corroded the golden light on Tang Haotian's back, then melted his leather armor, and finally acted upon his flesh and blood.
"Ah."
Tang Haotian let out a pained howl and turned to face the zombie king.
"I'll fight you to the death."
Tang Haotian turned and attacked the zombie king.
"Heh heh."
But the zombie king let out a few mocking laughs and casually threw several masses of dark mist.
Tang Haotian flashed to the side, dodging the terrifying mist.
However, the mist seemed to have eyes, it turned and suddenly accelerated towards his entire body.
Bronze Skin, Iron Bones!
Tang Haotian activated his special ability for the last time, and his sword also swiftly slashed towards the mist.
The mist split into two, both striking Tang Haotian's chest.
"Ah!"
Tang Haotian's cloth armor and golden light only managed to block two masses of mist. The remaining mist then struck his flesh and blood.
He only had time to let out a pained scream before he fell backward onto the ground.
Not long after, half of his body was corroded by the terrifying mist, leaving only his head and limbs.
Seeing that the zombie king possessed such a terrifying special ability, Qin Shilei was greatly surprised.
He drew his bow, aiming at the zombie king, but did not shoot immediately.
"Heh heh."
The zombie king slowly turned around, facing Qin Shilei.
While Qin Shilei and the zombie king were in a standoff, about one to two hundred meters away in Ning'an City.
Yang Yue and several high-ranking military officials were observing the scene through binoculars.
"Sir, that mutated zombie is extremely dangerous. I suggest we use artillery shells to bombard it," a senior colonel suggested.
"Bombardment will destroy that section of the breakthrough tunnel. Repairing it will take a lot of time. Let's be cautious unless it's a last resort," another lieutenant colonel offered a counter-opinion.
Yang Yue pondered for a moment and ordered, "Dispatch those two helicopters. If the situation deteriorates, you are allowed to use the aircraft's artillery."
"Sir, we only have two helicopters left. They were prepared for you to use in the most critical situation," the senior colonel advised.
"Sir, let's just aim the artillery first. There's no need to dispatch the helicopters yet," another lieutenant colonel also persuaded.
"This is an order. Use the helicopters' machine guns first, and if that doesn't work, then use the artillery."
Yang Yue's face hardened as he emphasized sternly.
The senior colonel had no choice but to instruct his adjutant to relay the order.
Their helicopters had been destroyed by 90% by a flock of mutated birds during a mission, leaving only two.
They were usually extremely precious, yet now they had to be dispatched again.
"Sir, the situation seems to be changing," a lieutenant colonel said as he observed through his binoculars.
Everyone raised their binoculars again and looked towards the scene.
They saw Qin Shilei retreating while rapidly firing arrow after arrow.
These arrows, fired in a continuous stream almost without pause, were all aimed at the zombie king's head.
No matter how fast the zombie king was, it couldn't evade the tracking arrows. (Read book)
"Roar!"
The zombie king roared, its hands turning into blurs as it swatted away the arrows in front of it.
But as fast as the zombie king was, Qin Shilei's archery speed was not slow either, preventing the zombie king from having an opportunity to unleash its terrifying mist.
"Roar!"
The zombie king roared again, spewing a large cloud of mist to envelop itself. It then ignored the arrows and charged towards Qin Shilei like a blur.
The high-speed arrows, upon contact with the mist, became sluggish as if stuck in mud, and were then corroded.
"Let's see if your mist is more abundant than my arrows."
Qin Shilei retreated while continuously firing arrows.
Although the mist on the zombie king was slowly diminishing, it was also getting closer to Qin Shilei.
Five meters.
Three meters.
Two meters.
The zombie king opened its mouth and spat out another mass of mist.
The mist rapidly flew towards Qin Shilei.
Thunderous Stab!
Qin Shilei's short bow was instantly replaced by the Seven Star Sword, and he unleashed a signature move from Thunderous Nine Heavens.
Arcs of electricity flashed within a five-meter radius, striking the zombie king's head with every sweep of the sword.
First, the mist that the zombie king had just spat out was dispersed by the lightning, and then the mist on the zombie king quickly dissipated.
Soon, its slightly panicked form was revealed.
Seeing Qin Shilei lunge towards its head again, the zombie king turned and attempted to flee into the distance.
Flash Step!
Qin Shilei barely managed to catch up to the zombie king and severed its right arm with a single sword strike.
"Roar!"
After the zombie king screamed, its speed suddenly increased by another third. It leaped over the truck and jumped into the zombie horde outside the passage.
Qin Shilei stamped his right foot and leaped onto the roof of the truck.
At the same time, he switched his Seven Star Sword back to his short bow.
"Swish swish swish!"
He shot a volley of arrows.
The zombie king continued to flee while waving its left hand.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The helicopters also arrived nearby, sweeping the zombie king below with their weapons.
"Thump thump thump!"
The machine gun bullets struck the zombie king as if hitting thick metal, but they propelled the zombie king to run even faster.
Seeing that the zombie king was moving too fast and had already entered the zombie horde, Qin Shilei stopped.
By then, the zombie king was out of his short bow's range, and he could only hope that the helicopters would eliminate it.
Meanwhile, when the zombie king discovered that Qin Shilei was no longer shooting arrows, it flung its left hand backward, tossing its last remaining mass of mist towards the helicopter in mid-air.
"Bang!"
Perhaps the mist had corroded a critical component of the helicopter, as one of them began to wobble and then fell from the sky after a few rotations.
The other helicopter, terrified, urgently ascended to a higher altitude.
Once the pilot felt safe, he had lost sight of the zombie king.
He could only vent his frustration by dropping two artillery shells onto the ground.
A dark cloud of smoke billowed, and Qin Shilei had no way of knowing if the helicopter had killed the zombie king.
After observing for a while, he turned and ran towards the mutated zombie horde that was still being slaughtered.
As he passed Tang Haotian's corpse, he did not forget to retrieve the spatial ring and the ancient treasure sword.
Upon approaching.
The gap in the car wall had been blocked.
Out of the more than ten mutated zombies here, only seven remained.
Out of the hundreds of members of the Apocalypse Home, only a little over ten were left.
When Qin Shilei, wielding the Seven Star Sword, killed all seven mutated zombies, only the last lucky survivor of the Apocalypse Home remained.
