Apocalypse: the Most Ruthless Person

”This guy... could it be a mutated zombie that appeared because of the snowfall this time?”

Zheng Xinyu slightly lowered her head, peering at the burly zombie with a strange gaze, feeling very tense.

Zhang Su quickly recalled how after the last snowfall, previously undiscovered varieties such as Petrified Skin Zombies, Venom Zombies, and Flaming Zombies appeared. This time, besides enhancing ordinary zombies, it’s possible that stronger zombies are being born!

”It’s quite possible, but the snow just started, how did it mutate so quickly?”

”Maybe it was pent up for too long before...”

”This zombie is several times bigger than an ordinary one, like an NBA player! What do you say, Brother Su? Should we attack it sneakily or make a run for it? Or maybe I should try to distract it and see how it reacts?”

The group quietly discussed their strategy.

Unfortunately, before Zhang Su could provide an answer, the burly zombie sensed the presence of humans. Its head, about the size of an average 1.78 meters tall human, turned toward the group. It opened its mouth mechanically, and contrary to expectations, there was no furious roar, only an eerie silence.

Thump, thump, thump.

In the blink of an eye, the burly zombie rushed toward the group with large strides!

Its sturdy and burly body was surprisingly fast, moving forward in big strides at a speed comparable to an ordinary zombie, sweeping toward them like a black whirlwind, creating an intense sense of pressure. Its facial expression was not as crazed and bloodthirsty as an ordinary zombie but more like a lifeless puppet, yet this meant nothing.

”Shoot, aim for the head, shoot quickly!”

Zhang Su felt his hair stand on end. Although he had become stronger, he wasn’t invincible. Precisely because of his increased strength, his sense of danger was more acute, with an inner voice warning him that the big guy charging at them was not to be trifled with!

Rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat.

In their haste, a burst of shots were fired. The small caliber bullets hitting the burly zombie’s body failed to inflict any substantial damage. Even rifle bullets only made it pause, leaving behind a bullet hole but not stopping its advance!

Some aimed at the zombie’s thick legs, but the legs were hard to hit as they moved back and forth. Even when a bullet occasionally hit, it caused no substantial harm.

The threat of conventional firearms to this kind of zombie was reduced to an alarming level.

Squelch, squelch.

The big feet stepped on the bodies of previously fallen zombies, making a sound like crushing fresh meat, inducing a sense of nausea.

Rat-a-tat, pop, pop, pop...

The gunfire was dense. Finally, a bullet from an unknown gun shot into the eye socket of the burly zombie, entering its brain, halting its sprint, leaving it standing silently in the snowy wind...

In its static state, people could clearly see the bullet holes on its body. Any ordinary zombie would have fallen seven or eight times, but it managed to withstand the damage and charge forward until it was shot in the head...

After about five or six seconds, the burly zombie slowly fell sideways, collapsing on several ordinary zombie corpses. In comparison, it was clear that its arms were thicker than the thighs of ordinary zombies – one could only imagine the outcome of being hit by it.

”Phew... ha ha ha!”

Liu Yao touched the hot gun barrel, showing a relieved smile: ”Damn, that was terrifying. Hopefully...”

”Shut up!”

”Don’t say anything!”

”Shh, be quiet!”

”Please, just don’t say anything...”

The group all shot unfriendly looks at Liu Yao, making him feel very awkward and causing him to lower his head, rubbing the ground with his toe.

”False alarm, but Brother Su, we’re running low on bullets...”

Wang Xin patted his chest and checked spare magazines, finding them all empty, with only a dozen or so rounds left in the gun.

”It’s fine, the crisis is resolved! This kind of mutated zombie should be quite unique, we have to take it back for research!”

Zhang Su lowered his head to grab a cigarette, intending to light one up and then move forward to check out the situation. As he turned to offer a cigarette to a companion, he saw Zhao Dezhu looking at him with fear in his eyes, lips seemingly trembling.

”Big, big brother, this, this thing isn’t not unique...”

Zhao Dezhu’s facial muscles twitched like a spasm.

Zhang Su didn’t have eyes in the back of his head, but Zhao Dezhu’s words told him that something was wrong. He slowly turned his head to look at the residential area, pupils contracting!

At the same time, many survivors in the car park raised their hands to cover their mouths, eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

The gate of the residential area resembled the lid of Pandora’s Box being opened, as one burly zombie after another walked out from behind the walls, wandering to the main entrance!

In an instant, everyone’s breath stopped.

One, two, three, four, five!

When the fifth burly zombie came into view, nothing else followed from behind, but even so, it already placed immense pressure on everyone!

”Su, Su, Brother Su, what do we do, we’re low on bullets!” Wang Xin tightly clutched his rifle, eyes fixed on the burly figures in the distance.

”We could try luring them away with a vehicle, I think it might work...”

Qi Xiaoshuai suggested.

”The city’s environment is complex now; if more zombies show up from elsewhere, there would be no place to hide even if we drove away!”

Zhang Su directly rejected the idea of luring them away. It wasn’t like the northern outskirts here. He looked at Ju Mumio: ”Sakura, where are the detonators?”

”Right here!” Ju Mumio rummaged through her bag.
