Chapter 608 - 253: Restoring Memory_3
Wang Tao shook his head.
He had heard before that there were no survivors left in Wuyang City, which seemed a bit of an exaggeration. But now it seemed not at all exaggerated…
Wang Tao, with Jiang Shixue and Lightning, roamed around the vicinity, killing many more zombies.
Looking at the numerous zombies in the urban area, Wang Tao had the idea to lure some of them out, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
He wasn’t sure about the specific strengths of these zombies; if their Perception was too keen, it could attract a horde, and that would be troublesome. After all, there were too many zombies in the urban area...
Only when there were no more zombies nearby to kill did Wang Tao take Jiang Shixue and Lightning back. By this time, it had already turned dark, but they all had Night Vision Ability, which was not a problem.
"Hmm?"
When they got back to the military base, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.
He spotted a Level 3, Lord Zombie in tattered military uniform wandering outside the base with a handgun in hand!
And behind it, there were also a number of Elite Zombies dressed in tattered military uniforms, holding rifles!
[HP: 80000/80000]
[Mana: 50000/50000]
[Grade: Level 3 - Lord]
As a Level 3, Lord Zombie, its power shouldn’t be weak, but for Wang Tao, it was naturally not a problem.
However, Wang Tao was still somewhat wary upon seeing these zombies with guns.
It wasn’t just the power of the guns that concerned him but also the noise. If so many zombies fired at once, even the sound of heavy rain wouldn’t prevent the noise from traveling far.
Of course, this was assuming the zombies’ guns still worked.
Wang Tao contacted Yang Changhong and the others via walkie-talkie.
"A group of military zombies has arrived outside the base, with a Level 3, Lord among them. Don’t come out..."
They all lacked Night Vision Ability, which was a disadvantage in this environment.
"Roger that!"
At this moment, He Jijun had just woken up, successfully undergoing his Level 3 Ascension.
Wang Tao congratulated him, then instructed everyone to be prepared for a possible zombie attack.
He then took Jiang Shixue and Lightning and stealthily circled to the rear of the group of zombies.
"It seems their guns are not usable..."
Upon closer inspection, Wang Tao saw that the weapons in the zombies’ hands were mostly rust-covered. In such a state, the guns likely wouldn’t work even if they had bullets.
This was good news, and Wang Tao decided to take direct action. However, he couldn’t be careless and decided to run a test first. The last thing Wang Tao wanted was to be hit by a bullet.
Wang Tao pulled out his Hand crossbow and aimed at the Level 3, Lord Zombie in military apparel before pulling the trigger.
Whoosh—
A Crossbow Arrow struck the military zombie lord in the back of the head with precision.
[-2242]
This damage was average for Wang Tao.
However, it successfully caught the attention of the military zombie lord.
It immediately turned to look in Wang Tao’s direction, but he had already hidden. Wang Tao was using Perception to observe and, with the decent distance, rain, and night time, the zombie couldn’t locate Wang Tao’s exact position.
So, the military zombie lord turned its head back around and continued lingering near the gates of the military base.
It seemed intent on entering, but Wang Tao had already re-blocked the gate, making it impossible for it to get through.
Whoosh—
Another arrow flew through the air.
It hit the military zombie lord in the head with accuracy.
"Roar—"
The military zombie lord turned around and roared angrily.
But still, it saw nothing.
After a moment, the military zombie lord turned its attention back to the gate.
"Huh?"
Wang Tao felt it unusual from a distance—wasn’t it coming after him? Perhaps the zombie had some sort of obsession?
It seemed that this group of zombies likely belonged to the military base, and coming back here might have been their obsession...
But no matter what, they were ultimately zombies without consciousness, and Wang Tao couldn’t let them remain.
Wang Tao shot another arrow.
Again, the arrow hit the military zombie lord with precision.
And this time, the military zombie lord seemed thoroughly enraged.
It immediately started walking toward Wang Tao’s direction and raised the rust-covered handgun it was holding.
Bang!
A faint sound was heard.
An almost imperceptible shockwave could be seen emanating from the rusted gun’s barrel, hitting a large rock not far from Wang Tao in an instant.
Pfft!
The large rock was pierced through!
"Damn! They have such an ability!"
Wang Tao was at least several dozens of meters away from these zombies—they could shoot this far?
Their guns were presumably broken, but the zombies had a gun-like Ability! Moreover, the attack range was very long, probably at least a hundred meters!
Yet Wang Tao was not alarmed but rather pleased. He was in need of attacking Abilities like this!
"These zombies have an Ability similar to shooting guns, and the attack range is very long. Be careful, Little Xue!"
Wang Tao admonished before immediately covering himself with Entangling Roots.
The military zombie lord with the handgun proceeded toward Wang Tao’s location. The other military elite zombies followed suit.
Bang!
Bang!
The military zombie lord occasionally raised its handgun and shot. Its elite minions also had this ability! They raised their weapons toward Wang Tao’s direction and fired.
Although their attack frequency was slow, the simultaneous attack of so many zombies felt like a barrage of gunfire.
Wang Tao didn’t emerge; he silently waited for the opportunity.
When he saw the zombies were roughly thirty meters away from him, Wang Tao immediately turned on the walkie-talkie and said to Yang Changhong and the others:
"Make a little noise to distract it."
On the other side, Yang Changhong and the others inside the base got the message and caused some noise.
The noise was not loud, but it instantly drew the attention of the military zombies, including the military zombie lord. They promptly abandoned their search for Wang Tao, the sneak attacker, and turned back toward the military base.
But as they turned around, Wang Tao, who had long been ready, gripped his Bone Knife and immediately launched a Rush at their backs!
