Chapter 70: Facing it head-on was too dangerous

"Screech!"

The armored truck emitted a loud brake sound, coming to a steady stop in front of a residential building.

"Don't move! I'll take care of the zombies behind!"

Elijah instructed, grabbing the two short-handled hammers from the passenger seat and jumping out of the car.

Starting from the residential area, they followed the planned route and smoothly made their way to the school, parking in front of Charlotte's house.

The only trouble was attracting many zombies along the way, intermittently following them.

Although many were lost along the way, there were still a dozen or so when they arrived at the school.

"Will he be in danger?" Bella was very worried, pressing against the glass to look outside, but due to the angle, she couldn't see much.

"Don't worry, Elijah will be fine!" Daisy reassured her gently.

This was Bella's first time going out since the virus outbreak.

She saw that there wasn't a single person outside, only zombies and congested vehicles everywhere.

The entire city had become much more dilapidated than she remembered, completely different from her impression.

Fortunately, Daisy was there, constantly talking, which kept her emotions stable, but she was becoming more and more dependent on the two of them.

If she were alone, she really didn't know how she would survive.

Outside the car, Elijah saw the zombies rushing towards him, wielding the hammers.

His movements were agile, and his strikes were fierce, effortlessly dispatching the zombies one by one.

Charlotte, on the second floor, witnessed the whole process.

It was her first time seeing Elijah hunting zombies.

Although Elijah's movements seemed erratic, relying entirely on instinct, Charlotte's focused gaze held a hint of admiration and a desire to try it out herself.

"This guy seems to have figured out the zombies' movements, even forming instincts. So he's always able to avoid zombie attacks at critical moments and effortlessly take them down with a single blow. It seems extremely dangerous, but in reality, he's in complete control. I wonder if he can maintain this level when fighting humans!"

Charlotte lightly bit her lip, tightening her grip on the knife.

After watching him completely eliminate the zombies, Charlotte looked away and walked downstairs.

"Daisy, come down and help!"

Confirming there was no danger, Elijah let Bella stay in the car while Daisy helped with the dismemberment, gaining a few more corpse cores.

Charlotte also opened the gate and began to move weapons outside.

After cleaning up the bodies and clearing the road, Elijah and Daisy also helped.

In front of the chasing zombie horde, a tremendously muscular figure was lying on the ground, shaking its head as it got up.

Although this figure vaguely resembled a human, its hands and legs were disproportionately muscular, bulging more than its head, and its clothes were almost torn apart, indicating the exaggerated muscles underneath.

"Damn, it's an awakened strength-type mutant zombie!"

Elijah took a quick glance and immediately adjusted the direction, accelerating the car abruptly.

He understood that it was this creature, with muscles but no brains, that had just used its body to crash into his car.

Strength-type mutated zombies were the ones Elijah least wanted to face.

Unlike Abigail and perception-type mutated female zombies, their abilities were indeed powerful, but their physical strength didn't change much.

But that thing just now was different.

It possessed extremely abnormal strength and physical abilities, decent speed, and strong defense due to its exaggerated muscles.

The only downside was its underdeveloped brain.

Facing it head-on was too dangerous; ambushes or long-range attacks were the best methods.

But now that he was driving, this was the thing he feared the most.

"Brace yourselves; it might get a bit bumpy!"

Elijah warned, then saw in the rearview mirror the mutated zombie accelerating and leaping towards them.

Elijah had just started, and the speed hadn't picked up yet.

As the mutated zombie was about to strike, Elijah quickly turned the steering wheel.

The armored truck swayed left and right like a drunken person, narrowly avoiding the attack. discover-MVLeMpYr-novels

Missing its target, the mutated zombie crashed onto the road, creating a depression in the asphalt and forming spider-web-like cracks.

Elijah was speechless, thankful that they hadn't been hit.

He pressed down on the gas pedal, accelerating with all his might.

The mutated zombie behind shook its head, feeling a bit dizzy from the rebound, then turned its gaze back towards Elijah's group and resumed its pursuit.

At this point, Elijah finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They had finally managed to pick up speed.

Although the zombie had just gotten closer, it was quickly pulled away again.

Despite its speed, it ultimately failed to catch up with the speeding car, gradually falling further and further behind.

"Phew." Elijah finally felt he could relax a bit.
