Chapter 44 The Final Horde
After Shane improved the items, they faced several more hordes of zombies. Thanks to the improved weapons, Shane was able to dispatch the zombies more easily than before.
As time went by, the interval between the hordes became longer... They even had more than an hour of rest before the final Zombie Horde came!
At this time, Shane leveled up two more times thanks to the double exp potion that was still active.
Nonetheless, throughout the Zombie Wave, they only met Crawler Zombies, Walker Zombies, Runner Zombies, and their leader-type Zombies... There were also three Jumper Zombies that appeared out of nowhere to surprise them. However, there weren't any other weird zombies like the Violent Sprinter, which seemed to be a variation of the Runner Zombie, and others.
'I guess this first Zombie Wave is not too harsh to the novice Survivors. They didn't send many Jumper Zombies in the end…' Shane thought. He knew that those Jumper Zombies would be a nightmare since they only had a little over a week of preparation. It was a good thing that the system, or whoever was behind this event, took their current situation into account. As the last 30 minutes of the Zombie Wave approached, the final horde of Zombies showed up... To Shane's shock, there were actually 10 Spitter Zombies attacking them! They were also moving separately, making it difficult to eliminate them all at once.
'Right… I forgot about these guys…' Shane muttered as he grabbed his weapon.
The extremely fat zombies dripping with green liquid were slowly moving towards the church! From a distance, they looked like huge balls of flesh crawling towards them! Shane, Harper, and Anna got ready for the battle. They knew they had to deal with the Spitter Zombies carefully.
After all, Shane already knew what they were capable of and informed them to his companions.
The scariest thing about them was that they were capable of exploding even after being defeated!
He could never forget what had happened in his first encounter against them.
"So those are Spitter Zombies…" Anna muttered as she held her nail bat tightly. To be honest, she didn't want to get close to that huge walking flesh.
Spitter Zombies were a rare and dangerous type of Tier 1 Zombies. They were obese and bloated, and they oozed with a green liquid that was corrosive and poisonous. They had swollen and cracked lips, and they spat the liquid at their enemies, causing damage and infection. Gurrr… Gurrr… They made a wet and gurgling noise as they moved, which frightened Anna even more.
On the other hand, Shane decided to use the last two bullets of his revolver. Since this was the last horde, there was no point saving them…
It was better to eliminate two Spitter Zombies in this process.
Bang! Shane used the revolver's Burn Effect and shot his revolver at the Spitter Zombie that was closely approaching the church. With his firearm mastery, he didn't miss the forehead of the round Spitter Zombie!
He knew he had to use his bullets wisely for these targets. Thud!
The forehead of the Spitter Zombie was shot, and it started to burn! Nevertheless, although Shane shot the Zombie's head, it remained alive and was slowly being burned!
Then, it stopped moving as if it was waiting for the fire to burn out.
At this time, as the Spitter Zombies reached about 20 meters close to them, they started spitting out blobs of acids!
"What?! They can attack from that far?! How can we survive this?!" Anna was shocked as she saw the flying acid spit!
Some of them didn't reach the church but most of them hit their barricade and the church's walls!
Shane also used his Hatchet to protect himself from the Spitter Zombies' spit when needed.
Luckily, his Hatchet couldn't be corroded easily so he was sure that he could beat them if he got closer. Boom! Suddenly, the Spitter Zombie that he shot exploded! Its upper body blasted and there were showers of zombie flesh and acid! One down!
Without hesitation, Shane shot another Spitter Zombie in its head and had it burn as well. The second Spitter Zombie stopped its movement, and just like the first one, it would soon die and explode!
Now, his revolver had become useless. At most, he could probably use it as a blunt weapon.
Nonetheless, Shane had to deal with the remaining eight Spitter Zombies with his Hatchet!
"Harper, Anna... Stay put... You have low agility and you might get burned by the acid. I have good equipment, so even if I get hit, I'll make it..."
Shane said before he ran towards another Spitter Zombie.
It was good that they were spread out and not clustered together!
The Spitter Zombie saw Shane coming and spat a blob of acid at him. Whoossh~
Shane dodged the acid, but it splashed on the ground near him, creating a puddle of corrosive liquid. Shane jumped over the puddle and continued his charge.
The other Spitter Zombies also saw Shane's movement and attacked at the same time!
Thankfully, his Perception stat made it easier for him to dodge those acid blobs! Whoossh~
The Spitter Zombie that Shane targeted spat another blob of acid, aiming for his head. At this time, Shane raised his Hatchet and blocked the acid, but it burned his gloves and his weapon. Shane felt a searing pain, but thanks to the resistance of his items, it wasn't unbearable! As soon as he got near, he held his Hatchet tightly and slashed the Spitter Zombie in the face!
