Su Hong's legs shook slightly as soon as he noticed the zombie was stage-5. The highest evolution he had fought so far was stage-4 Crusher. At that time, he worked together with the other Captains to kill one stage-4 Crusher.
Now he faced stage-5 Crusher. Fighting the stage-5 Crusher never crossed in his mind. He turned around to his subordinates and yelled at them, "Call for reinforcement!"
Vice General Wei Xi was the only hope. Even though he knew Kang Xue was not just an average healer, what they faced was stage-5 Crusher. It would be tough with only two of them against this giant zombie.
"Reinforcement is here!" Su Hong heard the voice from the village. He then saw Zhao Zhong and Qin Shoushan come toward them.
"It's stage-5 Crusher! Be careful!" He yelled at the two Captains.
"Stage-5 Crusher? Finally, I can have fun," Zhao Zhong smiled when he heard the warning. The stage-5 Crusher still had its eyes on Kang Xue.
Zhao Zhong used this chance and rushed to the zombie's back. He was holding the broadsword and stopped between the zombie's legs.
"Take this, big guy!" Grinning, Zhao Zhong activated his skill, [Helix Strike]. He revolved while swinging the broadsword.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
The deep cut was made, but that was it. It barely affected the big zombie.
"You should focus your power on one spot if you want to take it down!" Qin Shoushan caught up. He leaped up to reach the Crusher's back of the knee.
He swung the battle hammer at the back of the knee while activating his skill.
[Shattering Strike]
Crack!
Bone cracking noise resounded and the stage-5 Crusher knelt with one of its knees down. The zombie turned its head toward the two culprits. It swung the long and big arm toward the two men, attempting to swat them away.
Zhao Zhong did not try to avoid the swing. He crossed the broadsword and blocked the incoming attack. He slid backward as the result of the clash but the stage-5 Crusher did not break his defense.
The stage-5 Crusher tried to get up on its feet, but it fell again from losing the balance. Feeling no pain could be an advantage and a disadvantage. At this moment, it was more to a disadvantage because its attempt to stand up gave an opening for Qin Shoushan and Zhao Zhong.
Qin Shoushan leaped to half-kneeling stage-5 Crusher and smashed his battle-hammer to the zombie's head. It was a pure strength with no skill.
The stage-5 Crusher was thrown to the side and fell off. The big zombie was in its most vulnerable situation.
Zhao Zhong rushed forward, bringing his broadsword as he approached the falling zombie. His body and the broadsword were releasing red faint energy.
[Berserker Rage]
It was the skill he got after the second-class advancement. He was not just Berserker but Dark Berserker now. [Berserker Rage] would temporarily boost his strength and his speed, granting him an even destructive power.
Zhao Zhong soon reached the zombie's head, right above the stage-5 Crusher's head, "You are mine!" He raised the broadsword and activated another skill, [Fury Burst].
The broadsword released a mix of red and black energy at the same time.
Swoosh!
Zhao Zhong brought the broadsword down toward the zombie's head. As soon as the broadsword touched the head, it split open. The brain juice and the disgusting green liquid spluttered everywhere.
The broadsword did not cut the head cleanly as it burst out open. A quarter of the stage-5 Crusher's head was gone.
Zhao Zhong's face was covered in the disgusting liquid, but he maintained his smile. The stage-5 Crusher was crushed by him and Qin Shoushan.
"Watch out! It has not died yet!"
From the distance, Kang Xue noticed that the big zombie made a sudden movement. It swung its arm and slammed it toward Zhao Zhong. The latter thought he had killed the zombie, not expecting the incoming attack.
Kang Xue wanted to cast [Light of Protection] but Zhao Zhong was out of her range. The skill could not reach him.
Bam!
The arm slammed toward Zhao Zhong's body, right on his belly. He was flung backward, getting thrown a dozen meters away.
Right after that, the stage-5 Crusher slowly stood up. The crushed head was slowly regenerating. Within ten seconds, the zombie had his head back. This was everyone's first encounter with a zombie with a self-regeneration ability.
Kang Xue turned around to her team, "Check on Captain Zhao!" She commanded them before she rushed toward the stage-5 Crusher.
She no longer stood aside as soon as she found out that the enemy was not just a normal zombie. Holding the Death Scythe in her right, she ran toward the zombie who stood up.
It was about to chase after Zhao Zhong until it noticed her. The stage-5 Crusher stopped and made a sudden turn toward her.
[Lightning Flow]
Kang Xue's body shone brightly as if her body turned into a light. The light streaked toward the stage-5 Crusher in the blink of an eye.
Swoosh!
She appeared right below the stage-5 Crusher and then she swung the scythe horizontally. The scythe turned into light as well, slashed through the stage-5 Crusher's thigh.
Kang Xue did not stop there as her body turned into a beam of light again.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The beam light flashed upward, cutting through the stage-5 Crusher both arms. The two big arms fell along with the body. The limbless stage-5 Crusher fell on the ground.
Kang Xue was the survivor of the SH Hospital. She was supposed to be weaker than Qin Shoushan and Zhao Zhong who had fought the zombie horde. However, thanks to the Survival Game she managed to surpass both of them quickly.
"'Captain Qin! Come and finish this thing off!" Kang Xue noticed that the stage-5 Crusher showed a sign of regrowing its four limbs again. She hastily called Qin Shoushan. She was giving the exp for killing the stage-5 Crusher to him.
"No! No! No!" A young voice interrupted from afar. Everyone looked toward the voice and saw Yu Shun was being carried by a three meters black-cloaked figure.
"Don't kill my baby, that zombie is precious!" Yu Shun kept shouting as the black-cloaked figure increased its pace.
At this time, everyone already knew that Yu Shun's ability. He could subordinate zombies. His fighting capability was weak but his zombie army could not be looked down on.
Wei Xi was running next to Yu Shun, signaling Kang Xue to not kill the stage-5 Crusher. It was crucial for them, for the clash against the zombies in Jiaxing. They needed Yu Shun to subordinate the stage-5 Crusher to find the mutation.
"Make space! Make space!" Yu Shun told the others to not get closer and he had his four zombies hold the stage-5 Crusher down.
He came up to the zombie's chest and met with the Crusher's grayish eyes. The young man smiled and extended his hand toward the Crusher.
"Don't struggle," as he said that, Yu Shun cast his skill, [Zombie Authority].
There was a quick glow shot up from Yu Shun's forehead toward the zombie's forehead. It was so quick that only two people noticed the glow. Wei Xi and Kang Xue saw the glow.
"Done! Now let me see your skill~" Yu Shun opened the status window for the stage-5 Crusher, "[Undead Blessing]?"
