First Combat Team members, retreat!” After killing scores of zombies, Yue Zhong estimated that his team was reaching their limits, and promptly sounded the order to retreat. He had no desire to risk the lives of his men.
From the entrance of the village, more and more zombies emerged. The first combat team members only comprised of 12 men. Even though they were wearing Water Python Snakeskin Armour, they would be killed without a doubt if they were surrounded by the sea of zombies.
These first combat team members were all at least level 7 evolvers. To Yue Zhong, each of these members were invaluable, and he would be heartbroken if even one of these men perished.
After receiving the command, all the men in the first close combat team immediately retreated at the first opportunity.
Yue Zhong and White Bones continued to hold back the tide of zombies to buy time for his men to escape. After ensuring all his men had safety retreated, Yue Zhong and White Bones were also preparing to retreat.
At this moment, suddenly the zombie horde parted to make way for another group of zombies. To Yue Zhong’s horror, there were 7 S2 zombies, 8 L2 zombies, 36 S1 zombies, and 43 L1 zombies rushing out towards him!
“Holy Shit! Even the zombies have someone directing them?” Looking at the 100 or so elite zombies charging towards him, he could not help feeling that someone or something was controlling these zombie.
Yue Zhong’s suspicions were based on his experience – normal zombies would not attack all at once. Also, the elite zombies seldom grouped together. But seeing the horde of zombies and the elite zombies as acting together as one made him believe that someone or something was controlling these zombie. Over time, he learnt to trust his instincts. His experience with the Mutant Rats was the best example – he believed that the Mutant King Rat was controlling the Mutant Rats, and he was proven right.
Translator notes.
Looking at the horde of elite zombies, Yue Zhong immediately retreated. At the same time, he launched a fireball towards a L2 zombie.
The fireball hit the L2 on its head, and blew it off. The L2 collapsed onto the ground.
As for the 7 S2, if these creatures did not close in on Yue Zhong, Yue Zhong had no way to kill them. They were too fast and Yue Zhong’s marksmanship skill was too low shoot them accurately.
As expected, the 7 S2 were the fastest of the lot, and immediately rushed towards Yue Zhong in a zig-zag fashion, and attacked Yue Zhong from all directions. Their speed were insanely fast, and even the expert marksmen from Yue Zhong’s team would be unable to accurately aim for them. Compared to the strength enhanced L2 zombies, these s2 were more deadly.
At the same time Yue Zhong was retreating, he shouted, “Little Greenie!”
From the sky, a bolt of green colour lightning struck down and immediately crushed an L2 zombie’s head into pieces.
The green colour bolt of lightning was none other than Little Greenie!
With a single strike, it destroyed an L2. Then it flapped its wings and flew upwards. A moment later, it became another bolt of green lightning as it charged towards another L2 and tore the head of the L2 off its body with its sharp claws!
After having evolved, Little Greenie was now able to fully utilize the power of flight. Its claws and beak were extremely sharp, as befitting a level 36 beast. Although the L2 were powerful, it could not withstand a hit from these claws that could rip apart the scales of Water Python. Even though the L2 were monstrous strength enhanced zombies, they could not fly and pose no threat to Little Greenie.
