Chapter 12: How to kill a power-type zombie

The monster took ragged gasps; each one of its roars felt like a blow and brought a strong metallic smell of blood. On its grisly face, two bulging eyes with only eyeballs slowly swept over the team members. Its rock-like hand held a shaft removed from somewhere, which made a terrifying sound as it scraped the ground.

This was a power-type high-level zombie, how lucky were they.

Chi Xin felt chills all over; even after her three-day desensitization, faced with this large creature whose oppression was far greater than that of ordinary zombies, she couldn’t contain the fear that spread in her heart.

But she couldn’t retreat and tightened the hand that was holding her Desert Eagle. This was the path she had chosen, if anyone were to die there, she would never forgive herself.

High-level zombies had a certain amount of wisdom and in the short confrontation, it seemed to have already made a simple strength assessment of the people in front of it. The next second, the monster raised the shaft in his hand without warning and slammed it straight at Yu Pengcheng, who was standing the nearest to it.

While Yu Pengcheng was the doctor of the team, he was one of the men selected by Jing Xiubai and his skills were not low. He rolled on the spot and avoided the fierce attack in a split second. Unfortunately, in the narrow space and in the short range of the blow, his arm was hit and Chi Xin heard the bone breaking.

Sounds of gunshots, gasps, and roars instantly filled the corridor.

Chen Xing pointed his machine gun at the zombie and after a few rows of munitions, he threw the weapon in anger and rushed to directly hit the monster’s face. The eyeballs that were about to fall off turned and the creature stretched out a fist that collided with Chen Xing.

Bam.

Chen Xing was shaken back a few steps but the shock was surprisingly not serious. He breathed deeply and went back to hit the zombie.

The zombie was a huge target and Chi Xin didn’t need to aim to hit it. But with Chen Xing figure in front obstructing her line of sight, she dared not act rashly. Because while her shots were always 100% accurate, she wasn’t sure whether she would hit the monster or her teammate.

But soon, everyone realized that the bullets fired either bounced back on the zombie’s skin or were getting absorbed. The more shots they took, the more it became enraged.

Yu Xiang bowed abruptly to avoid the shaft aimed at his face and shouted at Jing Xiubai: “Can you crush its skull?”

Jing Xiubai had been trying to condense ice into cones and sweat had appeared on his forehead. He shook his head solemnly: “No, there are not enough water molecules here. It’s impossible to break through its skin.”

“Be careful!” Yu Xiang lifted his legs and kicked the zombie’s attack trajectory with all his strength.

Be careful, be careful… I want to be careful but this body won’t listen to me!

In the eyes of everyone, Chi Xin’s gaze was cold and her face remained unchanged. She threw herself in front of the zombie’s hand and took advantage of her strength to jump in the air. She kicked her legs on the wall, positioned the knife in her hand, and pierced one of the monster’s eyes fiercely.

It works! Those two words crossed her mind as she poked the eyeballs. The zombie’s head was hard but its eyes were exposed and its only weakness.

“Roar—”

The roaring of the power-type zombie was getting closer and was accompanied by heavy footsteps.

“Behind this door just now, there is an infirmary.” Jing Xiubai whispered.

Chi Xin looked back at him and at the other men. Their eyes were desperate, even if they survived from here, some may die because antibiotics were lacking. Even Yu Pengcheng may lose his arm.

Silence spread in the group.

[Your great opportunity is here, host!] The system’s voice rang, [This is a power-type high-level zombie and the host’s shortcoming. If the host can kill it, you will get more points than the last victory against the agile zombie.]

The system’s voice was full of temptation and Chi Xin remained silent.

“Let’s go.” Jing Xiubai strode to Rong Feng, put him on his shoulder, and said in a fierce voice, “As long as we can move, let’s not wait for death on the spot!” 

Under his influence, everybody struggled and continued to rush forward. After running for a few steps, Yu Xiang suddenly stopped: “Where is Chi Xin?”

Everyone looked back in horror. In the middle of the shaking corridor, Chi Xin was standing quietly, a decisive look on her beautiful face. She glanced at them, turned around resolutely, and met the zombie who was coming after them.

“Sister Chi—!” Yu Pengcheng’s eyes were red and he broke away from Yu Xiang who was supporting him before raising his gun with one hand and shooting at the monster.

“Go!” Chi Xin was afraid. She did not want to be a hero and fight alone, but her group was injured and she knew she was able to kill the zombie. 

But how could they listen to her? Nobody said a word but raised their weapons one after another to shoot in vain at the zombie, not backing away.

Chi Xin did not pay attention to them and faced the sturdy creature. She kicked on the wall and rushed forward in a burst of strength.

Ah, ah, ah, ah I’m going to die!

The sharp mouth of the zombie was getting closer— and in the middle of her teammates’ cries, she landed on its neck. It was the first time she was coming in so close contact with one of those things and Chi Xin’s heart was about to stop. Fortunately, her body instinctively moved and her elbow hit the zombie’s head.

So hard! Despite Chi Xin’s indifferent expression, her bones almost shattered. Strength was not her forte and she jerked her head down to avoid a rock-like punch. She grabbed its ears and quickly tried to think of a plan of attack.

Little theater:

Translator: Is Jing Xiubai the male lead?

Readers: Is Jing Xiubai the male lead?
