After killing the remaining Swiffers, Su Hong looked back. His men were doing well, more than half of the zombies were decapitated.
He did not help them because he wanted them to raise their level too. He opened his status and smiled.
'Level 87, it's not far from 100,' he encouraged himself.
Su Hong, 29 years old, had been working hard since the start of the base. He was one of the second batches of Tarrior after the Slave even though he was the first batch to join the base.
However, he was too afraid to raise his weapon against the zombies. The reason why he was left behind by the first batchers. But he made his determination after seeing the privilege received by the fighters.
'I might have been a loser before, but God has not forsaken me yet. This is my chance, my chance to raise!'
Su Hong then looked into the village as he heard vibration from the ground. He immediately approached the source of the vibration. A group of zombies was coming out of the village.
He noticed big zombies in the group. Almost three meters tall and with big arms. It was a smaller version of a hulk.
He looked to the sides, his ten squads just finished the zombies.
"Get ready! More is coming!" He yelled at them and rushed toward the incoming zombies. The incoming zombies were less than the initial zombies, but these guys were more troublesome than the Swiffers.
"Damn! Three Stage-3 Crushers, and nine stage-2 Crushers," Su Hong cursed under his breath.
These Crushers might not be as fast as the Swiffer. But they were tougher to kill, hard skin, and overwhelming strength.
"Five Squad Captains take on one the stage-3 Crusher, I will fight the remaining one!" Su Hong yelled at his team.
He was not as confident as before when facing the Crusher. He was not going to lure the three stage-3 Crushers on him.
A hundred men team, and ten squads. Each Squad had a Squad Captain. Squad Captain was chosen based on strength. So, the Squad Captain was stronger than a normal Tarrior.
The Tarriors immediately moved based on the command. The Squad Captains gathered in a group of five and lured out one of the stage-3 Crushers.
'I have to finish this one quickly and help the others,' Su Hong thought as he looked back at the stage-3 Crusher who followed him. After a certain distance, he made a sudden stop and turned around.
[Quick Step]
The same tactic, a sudden burst of movement caught the stage-3 Crusher off guard. In no time, Su Hong was right in front of the zombie. Holding his spear tightly, he leaped and stabbed the spear toward the zombie's head.
Another Crusher's trait, it had a quick reaction compared to the Swiffer. The stage-3 Crusher tilted its head to the right. The spearhead brushed against the rotted cheek, tearing it apart.
If it was a beast, the damage would be significant. However, Su Hong was facing a zombie. Even though their cheeks were torn apart, it was no different than a scratch to them.
Zombies did not feel pain, and they would not die from losing too much blood. The strike was insignificant to the zombies.
The Crusher then turned around and slammed the big fist against Su Hong's back.
"Arghhh!" Su Hong grunted as he crashed to the ground. He did not stay on the ground and immediately rolled forward.
Boom!
He made the right decision, the Crusher stomped the empty ground where he crashed just now. The [Quick Step] was not wearing off yet, he charged forward again.
'There's an opening,' he noticed as the Crusher doubled its fist. It was one of their skills, [Hummer Slam].
Su Hong raised his speed and slid down between the Crusher's legs.
Boom!
Crusher missed the target as it slammed the fist on the ground. Su Hong took this chance. He stood up and immediately leaped to the Crusher's open back.
[Heavy Strike]
There was no way he would miss the head this time. The spear pierced the Crusher's back of the head. But the spear failed to pierce the head as the spear stopped halfway.
At this moment, the Crusher turned its horrendous face toward him. He soon realized that he was screwed. The Crusher swung its big arm around and hit the side of the waist.
Su Hong's body shot through the air and crashed into one of the houses. His body was aching from the two hits, but he immediately got up. If not for the armor, he was sure that the two hits would break a few bones.
'Damn, why Crusher all other types of zombies!' He cursed inward and dashed out of the wooden debris.
Su Hong quickly noticed that the Crusher did not chase him. He scanned the surroundings and found the Crusher fell. The three meters tall zombie had its face on the ground and his spear was still stuck on the back of its head.
He let out a relieved sigh and immediately retrieved the spear. The battle was not over, his men were still fighting.
Su Hong's eyes moved around, trying to find his ten Squad Captains. He found two corpses of the stage-3 Crushers laying down with no legs, not moving.
He was shocked that his subordinates managed to kill the Crusher faster than him. Curious, he approached the dead body. His eyes immediately fell at the clean-cut on the thigh.
Su Hong was aware of how capable his men were. He believed that none of them were capable of this. He immediately turned toward Kang Xue.
The girl was a healer, but she was not just a normal healer. He spotted Kang Xue was watching him.
Suddenly, the girl made a rush toward him. This caught him off guard as she came without warning, but soon he realized something off. There was a big shadow loomed over.
Su Hong turned around and looked up. His eyes widened in shock at the sight of a giant zombie in the air, right above him.
His chest tightened up and his breathing came to a sudden halt. There was only a thought in his head, dead. It was too late for [Quick Step] as the giant was two meters above him.
He was not a knight either, he did not have a shield to protect him from the attack. If he was a knight, he might have a sliver chance to survive. Just as he thought he would die, a figure arrived next to him.
Kang Xue made it in time. She raised her hand upward and cast a skill, [Light of Protection]. A layer of protection made of light formed, covering herself and Su Hong.
Boom!
The giant zombie slammed toward the light shield. The ground shook from the impact, but the light shield firmly protected him.
Su Hong immediately released a long breath. The light shield then brightened up and repelled the almost six meters tall zombie away. The shield easily pushed the giant zombie to Su Hong's surprise.
"Stage-5?" He then heard a low mumble from Kang Xue. Su Hong's heartbeat spiked up when he heard the giant was a stage-5 zombie. This was his first time encountering a stage-5 zombie.
Su Hong cast [Detection] on the giant zombie. Soon the information appeared.
