Chapter 61 New Type?!
The Jumper Zombies pounced at them too fast! As soon as Shane warned everyone, the Zombies were already in action!
Harper used his Pickaxe to stop the Zombie, while Leo used his Forging Hammer and slammed the Zombie away!
However, the Walker Zombies were already on their way to them, so they couldn't finish off the Jumper Zombies, who were pushed away!
On the other hand, Shane wanted to shoot the Zombies since he had plenty of bullets to spare, but because the two Scavengers were panicking due to their lack of weapons, Shane had difficulty aiming even with his Firearm Mastery. Bang! Bang! Bang!
Their frantic movements clouded Shane's line of sight, and despite his mastery over firearms, his shots went astray. A few of them missed, and the others couldn't kill the zombies since shooting their bodies, or anything other than their brains would not stop them at all.
In those critical moments, the Walker and Jumper Zombies closed in, their grotesque forms a blur of motion aimed at Shane.
He had to focus on saving himself.
However, in that brief moment when his attention left the two Scavengers, the inevitable happened. Jenkins and Marcus, overwhelmed by fear and without the means to defend themselves, fell victim to the gnashing teeth of the undead. Their screams were brief, and their fates were sealed by the infectious bite of the zombies!
Now, it was down to Shane, Harper, and Leo.
'Tsk... I got too confident that there are no zombies here...' Shane couldn't help but blame himself. After all, with his Perception and A.I. Assistant, he thought that there were no zombies inside his territory anymore. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. The Zombies were undetectable until they opened the door as if they had been in a state of slumber all this time. Bang! Bang! Bang! Shane then shot the zombies that were eating the two Scavengers. He even used the Ice Effect to ensure that they would quickly stop what they were doing to the corpses of the two.
"Sir Shane... These Walker Zombies feel tougher than the ones we're killing outside." Harper couldn't help but comment.
Now that his Pickaxe is an Exceptional Rank, he thought that it would be a lot easier for him to kill the Walker Zombies.
However, to his surprise, the ones inside this secret chamber were tougher and faster.
In the end, they could only conclude that not all Walker Zombies are the same!
Unfortunately, Shane didn't notice their difference since his stats were already quite high. Furthermore, with his weapons, he wouldn't notice their difference since, no matter what, they were still low-tier Zombies. They would still die from his revolver and axe!
'Careful!' Shane reminded as the downed Jumper Zombies had already stood up, ready to pounce.
Back-to-back, the three men formed a triangle in defiance against the encroaching zombies. Shane decided to stop shooting since he realized that it had damaged some of the books within the secret chamber! He could not continue damaging the place! They had to fight in close combat!
'Haa!'
Harper's Pickaxe danced through the air, cleaving through the rotten flesh and bone of the nearest Walker Zombie... On the other hand, Leo's hammer crushed skulls with each swing, his strength never wavering. As expected of a blacksmith! Wielding the hammer was too easy for him! As for Shane, he switched from his revolver to his axe and started slicing through the zombies! It doesn't matter where he hits them, as they would surely get split apart by his weapon!
Their Hammer and Pickaxe were hitting the Zombie, but they could barely penetrate its skin and muscles!
They weren't hitting him too deeply! Because of that, Zombie Marcus continued attacking them!
This Zombie may be slow and had weaker attacks, but it probably had the most durable Zombie they've ever met! Not even the Spitter Zombie could contest with this Zombie!

Outside, Shane struggled to his feet, pain flaring across his abdomen. It was painful, but he couldn't afford to stay down; his companions were still inside, fighting for their lives. Gritting his teeth, Shane drew his two other revolvers, the cold metal a familiar weight in his hands. He didn't hesitate, unleashing the Ice and Fire Effects imbued within the weapons. A chilling frost and searing flame erupted from the barrels, it was a swirling dance of contrasting energies that sought their targets with incredible precision!
This was all thanks to his maxed Firearm Mastery!
Inside the church, as the battle raged on, Leo and Harper were holding their own, but the strength of Zombie Marcus was overwhelming. Crack!
Crack!
The Pickaxe and Forging Hammer were soon crashed because of Zombie's sheer power.
Just like that, their weapons had been destroyed!
"Ahhh!"
"This is it, huh!"
The two of them were in disarray as they also noticed that Zombie Jenkins had decided to participate.
Just as Marcus bore down on them, a blast of icy wind and a wave of heat washed over the creature, halting its advance. Bang! Bang!
It took quite some time, but Shane had returned to the fray, his revolvers whistling with elemental fury!
Shane was glad that he had upgraded all the Revolvers he had taken from the group of intruders some time ago.
Zombie Jenkins, sensing the shift in the battle, turned its attention back to Shane, but it was too late. Shane's aim was accurate, and his shots tore through the air, each bullet an indication of frostbite and combustion. Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shane decided not to waste any of his bullets! Although it couldn't immediately kill the Zombies because of their high resistance, he didn't mind it at all!
He would empty his magazine even if it were just meant to weaken them!
The dual forces of ice and fire ravaged the monstrous forms of Jenkins and Marcus; their undead flesh was slowly unable to withstand the onslaught!
