Chapter 235: Bargaining
Chu Han threw the Shura axe, which emitted a dark light, and in the next second-
'Puff!'
Dark blood surged out!
"Roar!!"
A hideous wound appeared where the zombie's ear was supposed to be. The sharp axe could decapitate the zombie, but Chu Han was not strong enough. He could kill the zombie if his strength were upgraded to phase-2. The wound was so close to the brain!
What a pity!
However, the lowly intelligent zombie suffered a lot of Chu Han's sneak attacks. Making use of all advantages to land a fatal attack to the enemy was the most important thing Chu Han learned in his previous life.
Only by being fierce could one stay alive!
Taking the previous attack, for example, common people would stop after damaging their enemy, but Chu Han did not do that. Instead of taking advantage of the zombie's retreat and catch his breath, Chu Han kept attacking his enemy. It was a subconscious reaction. Who knew what would happen in that time lapse? It was easier to deal damage after the first successful attack. Especially when the enemy was in pain, the second injury would hurt much more.
His experience was the harvest he gained after surviving for ten consecutive years! Chu Han could gloat that he was the only one in this period with abundant fighting experience and fast subconscious reactions. It was out of his expectation that his accumulated experience could be his biggest blessing in this life.
The others took a deep breath after the sudden change. The zombie was bombarding Chu Han with attacks all this time, but Chu Han turned the tables. Chu Han dodged the zombie's attack and the counterattacked, not once but twice!
All of that happened in just a moment!
That was a phase-3 zombie, humanity greatest enemy. However, Chu Han's counterattacks seemed so natural, like he had practiced them to the point his body could subconsciously react.
Li Yi was shocked again. He had witnessed a phase-2 evolutionary's battle in the past and felt it was amazing. But compared to Chu Han's battle it really lacked now. He could have never expected that Chu Han could fight against a phase-3 zombie and even wound it. He couldn't describe how he was feeling, or better he couldn't find the words to do it.
Chu Han's fighting style was direct, and it could be so simple that there was no more surplus. His actions were so fluent that there was no need to think about them. It was so subtle that the others could not help getting excited and feel their blood boil.
At the moment that the mass wanted to cheer, Chu Han retreated without hesitation since he had felt extreme danger!
A phase-3 zombie was a phase-3 zombie. Even though their intelligence was lower than a human's, their power was terrifying. The phase-3 zombie was angry after suffering two successive injuries. It may look like a newborn playing with its 'toys,' but it was emitting killing intent at that moment.
The phase-3 zombie roared and attacked.
Chu Han had already retreated when he felt the threat, so the zombie got nothing!
The others genuinely admired Chu Han's methods and instincts. If they were in his shoes, the zombie would already have killed them without giving any time to think and react. Not to mention dodging the zombie's first attack.
The next second, the phase-3 zombie increased its speed and aimed at Chu Han. It was infuriated as its previous attack was rendered useless. All it knew was to follow its instincts and kill the man who injured it.
Chu Han's extreme speed contended with the phase-3's speed. Chu Han loosened his grip on the axe to focus his attention on the zombie and find a chance to attack since he couldn't fight against the zombie head-on with his phase-1 strength.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!
The phase-3 zombie was suppressing him while its attacks became fiercer. Chu Han's arms started feeling numb from defending against all of those attacks with the axe.
Looking at Chu Han retreating and being sweaty, the others felt worried. They could see that in front of the two parties battle, they were like ants that couldn't block against a single attack. Although Chu Han had injured it twice, he seemed too exhausted now.
The others were afraid of thinking about what would happen if Chu Han couldn't hang on, but they had no way to help. They could only wait...
Chu Han was in immense pain after blocking the zombie's attacks. As they were fighting and the zombie was gaining momentum-
"You need 10 more credits to upgrade your strength to phase-2," Wangcai's voice came in Chu Han's mind, "If you hadn't ordered me to drive before we reached the ferry, you would have already upgraded your strength. You'd get credits even though you didn't kill zombies directly. You must be regretful now, right? The zombie is phase-3. I'm shocked that you're equally matched, but it's hard for you to win. I know you-"
"Just say it. Tell me what you want!" Chu Han wanted to step on the rabbit. Couldn't it see that he was busy!? And that the zombie was getting the upper hand?
"Great!" Wangcai took up its time to gloat, "I can lend you 10 credits to upgrade your strength and kill the zombie. You'll just have to return 20 credits. How about it?"
In Wangcai's eyes, it was merciful and generous. It was just unsure if he'd accept it.
Chu Han was dazed. Wangcai had such function?
His surprise lasted only a moment before a strange glint flashed in Chu Han's eyes. "There's no way I can accept returning you 20 credits, but I can cook 20 fish for you."
"Sh*t! You are so mean! Only 20 fish?" Wangcai was enraged, but it said in next second, "It should be 40 fish!"
"20!" Chu Han resisted.
"30!" Wangcai gave in slightly.
"20!" Chu Han was determined.
"F*ck you!" Wangcai cursed and then in next second, "Deal!"
