At this moment, David continued leading the team on their way to D Town. Along the way, they encountered several zombies, all of which were crushed into a pile of flesh by David’s modified off-road vehicle. The vehicle, after modifications, was extremely powerful in combat.
David acted as the point man, and the two vehicles behind him didn’t encounter any danger. Glancing at the map, David realized they still had over half an hour until they reached D Town.
“How about we stop and have some food? Everyone hasn’t eaten all day, and I’m sure we’re all hungry,” Sally, sitting in the passenger seat, suggested, patting her rumbling stomach.
After a brief moment of consideration, David glanced at the sky outside the car window. It was around 3 PM, the sun hadn’t set yet, and the outside was still bright. Thinking that they would reach D Town in about half an hour, he decided to let the team take a break. They could replenish their energy and relieve the tension from driving for so long.
David nodded to Sally and prepared to signal the two vehicles behind him. Just as he rolled down the car window, he suddenly heard Arnold honking the horn loudly. “Honk! Honk!” The two crisp horn sounds instantly rang in everyone’s ears.
“Danger!” Upon hearing these two horn sounds, David immediately realized that it was a danger signal from Arnold. He quickly turned his head to observe the surroundings. As expected, in a thicket of bushes, he saw two towering and immensely tall zombies. They were approximately three meters tall, with decaying muscles clinging to their bone-white bodies, which was still unsettling to behold.
These two zombies had been staring fixedly at them for some time, and there seemed to be traces of blood on their mouths, as if they were in the midst of eating something. Sally also noticed these two zombies and was immediately startled by their imposing appearance.
However, with David by her side, she quickly calmed down. David decisively stepped on the brakes, stopping the vehicle about thirty meters away from the towering zombies. Arnold and Charles, seeing the situation, also parked their vehicles behind the off-road car.
“David, these two look different,” Arnold approached and stared at the zombies, commenting.
“They seem to be holding something in their hands. I saw them repeatedly stuffing it into their mouths,” Charles joined the conversation.
David assessed the two zombies. Although their towering height was intimidating, they were merely ordinary high-level zombies. He also noticed that the two zombies were holding green, sturdy objects, each dripping with fresh blood.
“Roar! Roar!” The two zombies had long noticed David’s team and were now emitting low growls, seemingly warning them not to approach. They once again forcefully bit into the green, sturdy objects in their hands. Blood trickled down their mouths, making their already decaying bodies appear even more eerie and horrifying.
Observing the two zombies, David spoke to the others, “These two seem to have some strength. It’s a good opportunity for you all to practice.”
Having understood David’s intention, Sally nodded and reassured her not to be afraid. Since they all knew what David meant, they confidently stepped forward. Their purpose for going out on this training mission was to hunt and kill zombies to improve their level and strength. Now that prey had come to their doorstep, they couldn’t waste the opportunity.
Sally nodded and followed the three others as they approached the two zombies. Meanwhile, David leaned against the off-road vehicle, watching with interest. As someone approached the zombies, the creatures instantly became more aggressive, continuously emitting deafening roars, seemingly trying to drive them away.
“Heh, are these beasts afraid of us? They will obediently meet their death right there!” Arnold sneered and immediately activated his werewolf mode, pouncing towards the two zombies. Duke also promptly activated his shadow manipulation ability, attempting to control the bodies of the two zombies. Sally steadfastly waved her arms, triggering bursts of lightning. ｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖
With the support and assistance of Sophie and Charles from behind, a well-formed battle team quickly emerged before the two zombies. Arnold, who led the charge, was brimming with fighting spirit. Among all the team members, he was the most determined to improve his strength.
Having been defeated by Augustus not long ago, he vowed to significantly enhance his abilities during this training mission, so that he could seek revenge against Augustus. Thus, he maximized his werewolf form, continuously leaping back and forth between the two zombies. During his jumps, he swung his sharp wolf claws fiercely across their bodies.
At the same time, Sally directed two lightning bolts directly at the zombies, striking them forcefully. Sparks flew, and a thick white smoke instantly rose from the bodies of the zombies.
It was evident that the sudden assault by Arnold and Sally had inflicted significant damage on the zombies. However, the team did not show any signs of stopping. Their attacks grew increasingly fierce with each wave. Within five minutes, with their relentless combined assault, they managed to kill the two high-level zombies right on the spot.
Silently nodding his head as he observed their coordination, David recognized the embryonic form of their team’s combat skills. During the recent battle, he realized that their team had begun to display the combat prowess they should possess. This reassured him that their hard work during this period had not been in vain.
As they looked at the lifeless bodies of the two zombies that slowly fell to the ground, Arnold examined the green, sturdy objects they held in their hands. He then discovered that they were actually a large python, which had been split in half by their attack. This revelation made him recall the feeding behavior of the zombies earlier. He immediately understood that they had encountered these unexpected guests while enjoying their feast.
David approached the two zombie corpses, looking at the mangled python that had been partially devoured. He was silently surprised as he realized that the snake was at least ten meters long, with a body as thick as a water barrel. However, after being gnawed on by the two zombies, its body had gradually diminished in size.
“Is there even a mutated python here?” David furrowed his brows and said. He also came to the realization that there were likely many zombies in this area.
After all, in the post-apocalyptic world, mutant creatures coexisted with zombies. The fact that such a large snake existed indicated that there must be a significant number of zombies in the vicinity. While David was contemplating this, the voice of the system suddenly sounded in his ears.
