NOVEL NEXT Chapter 609 - 254: Sense of Security_1
```
Woosh—
The thirty-meter distance was covered instantly as Wang Tao rushed forward.
He lifted his ghastly white Bone Knife and slashed at the Military Lord Zombie.
[-7269]
A single strike causing seven thousand damage.
Wang Tao was fairly satisfied.
"Roar—"
The ambushed Military Lord Zombie roared and then turned around to lift its pistol.
Bang!
Wang Tao immediately dodged to the side, avoiding the shot.
But other military zombies wielding guns instantly turned their heads and began firing at Wang Tao.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Though the ability wasn’t exactly bullets, their speed was nearly the same; Wang Tao dodged the Military Lord Zombie’s attack but couldn’t avoid the others.
[-2384]
[-883]
[-2273]
[-2455]
[110000/110000（92005/100000）]
Wang Tao was hit by four shots in an instant!
However, the damage was absorbed by the Entangling Roots.
"Such quick reflexes!"
Compared to the damage of a few thousand, what surprised Wang Tao the most was their reaction speed!
Typically, zombies have rather sluggish responses. Those with quick reflexes are exceptions. But today, this group of zombies were all quick to react!
If it weren’t for their quick reflexes, Wang Tao would have definitely been able to dodge the attacks.
At this moment, Jiang Shixue appeared.
Her slender hands, with sharp nails, reached straight for the Zombie Lord’s face.
[-4029]
The Military Lord Zombie immediately fired a shot at Jiang Shixue, which she easily dodged.
The other Elite Zombies were also ready to fire again, but Wang Tao swung his knife, releasing a transparent Shockwave that instantly knocked down the other zombies.
Bang!
Their attacks all missed.
"Woof!"
Lightning rushed over from somewhere, leapt high, and bit at the Zombie Lord’s face.
[-2345]
Lightning’s attack was a bit weak, but it was fast enough to bite and run, disappearing into the darkness without being hit.
The Military Lord Zombie seemed thoroughly enraged after being attacked so many times in quick succession.
It opened its mouth wide and let out an angry roar.
"Roar—"
Wang Tao instantly felt dizzy and even lost some HP.
"War Cry?"
Wang Tao felt it was similar to the ability of the Gorilla zombie he had encountered before.
However, this was not a big problem for Wang Tao, as those with stronger spirits are less likely to be affected by such attacks.
Jiang Shixue’s spiritual power was also strong, so aside from losing a bit of HP, there were no other issues. The only one likely affected was Lightning, but since it had already hidden away, even dizziness wouldn’t be much trouble.
"Little Xue, hold it off, I’ll deal with the rest of the zombies!"
"Okay!"
Wang Tao brandished his Bone Knife, unleashing Shockwave attacks at the remaining zombies.
The biggest threat among this group was not the Military Lord Zombie but the Elite Zombies it was leading!
After all, the Military Lord Zombie had only one gun, and there was a pause between each attack, which Wang Tao could dodge as long as he stayed focused.
But there were more than twenty guns with the Elite Zombies. If they fired at the same time, Wang Tao couldn’t avoid them.
So Wang Tao prepared to eliminate these Elite Zombies first.
Although they each had tens of thousands of HP, their Defense was much weaker compared to the Lord Zombie. As Wang Tao furiously utilized the Shockwave, they were quickly dealt with.
And by now, the Zombie Lord had only two-thirds of its HP left, thanks to Jiang Shixue’s attacks.
"I’m coming!"
Without the help of the Elite Zombies, Jiang Shixue had an easier time, and with Wang Tao’s arrival, they quickly suppressed the Military Lord Zombie.
"Roar!"
The Military Lord Zombie let out another angry roar, but it only slightly affected Wang Tao for a second. After snapping back to his senses, Wang Tao continued to pressure the zombie.
The strongest attack of the Lord Zombie was the gun-like shooting ability, but it had a long interval between each shot, and each time it had to lift its arm. And every time it lifted its arm, Wang Tao would either interrupt or dodge, never allowing it to hit him.
Without the aid of the other zombies, this ability posed little threat to Wang Tao.
Soon, the Military Lord Zombie was left with only a sliver of HP.
Wang Tao raised his Bone Knife and slashed at its head.
Ptui!
[-2348]
[0/80000]
The Military Lord Zombie’s Blood Bar dropped to zero.
A pile of loot exploded out, and its rusty pistol also fell to the ground.
"Lightning!"
Wang Tao called out and Lightning immediately scampered over from the darkness, wagging its tail.
Wang Tao stroked its head and, seeing that it was alright, began to clean up the battlefield.
After spending some time, Wang Tao collected all the loot from the zombies and then returned to base.
"Wang Tao, are you guys alright?"
Yang Changhong and others immediately came over.
"We’re fine."
Wang Tao briefly described the appearance of the group of zombies to them.
He Jijun let out a sigh.
"They must have been a squad from this base, probably out on some mission, but... alas!"
Wang Tao shook his head and then started to inventory the loot.
Counting the Military Lord Zombie, there were a total of 21 zombies. Just the Crystal Cores from their heads summed up to 21. And surprisingly, all these Crystal Cores were of the same kind!
[Level 3 Crystal Core·Air Bullet]
[Quality: Excellent (80%)]
[Purity: 40% (Side effect: Body stiffness)]
[Air Bullet: With the help of a firing medium, air bullets can be shot, with a certain interval between each launch]
No wonder they all attacked with rusty guns—the ’Air Bullet’ ability required a medium!
