Slaughtering the Special Zombie
"What do we even have that's worth him risking his life to steal? Our food's almost gone, but we've still got plenty of mineral water. If he wants water, we could just trade some for food," Lin Man Cha said nonchalantly.
"You're fucking naive! If he can come and go from the school as he pleases, how could he possibly be short on food or water? That little shop by the sports field would keep him fed for a year and a half!"
Zhuang Qiang spat venomously. "He's definitely after the women here! That's gotta be his goal—to drag off whichever one catches his eye! Haven't you noticed? Every single person he's saved and taken to the city is a woman. Not one damn man!"
Zhuang Qiang's words put everyone on high alert. Their gazes toward Xiao Yi grew even more complicated.
"ROAR!!!" At that moment, a furious bellow echoed from the stairwell connecting the third-floor corridor to the rooftop.
The entire building seemed to tremble faintly.
It was the hulking zombie!
The hulking zombie clutched half a zombie corpse in its hand, something still crunching between its teeth as thick, foul blood gushed from its maw.
Compared to when they'd last seen it, this hulking zombie looked even more robust!
Xiao Yi frowned slightly. He spotted the hulking zombie devouring another zombie's corpse!
"No need to guess his intentions anymore! He's done for now!"
Shen Jia Bin gloated. "Even all of us together couldn't take down that monster. A level-10 cripple like him? Dead meat!"
"Should we help him? Maybe he's here to save us?" Lin Man Cha turned away, unable to watch what came next.
She recalled how one of their companions had been devoured by the hulking zombie before.
Her kindness made it unbearable to witness.
"Help him? Why the hell should we? What's he ever done for us? Even if he really came to save us out of the goodness of his heart, he shouldn't be so stupid as to provoke that thing! That's suicide! Besides, that monster's way too strong. Even if a few of us went, we'd just get ourselves killed!" the boy who'd always opposed venturing out said fearfully.
"Xiao Dong's right. The guy's digging his own grave messing with that beast. If he dies, he deserves it!" Gu Fang Hua added coldly.
Zhuang Qiang's earlier words had struck a nerve with Gu Fang Hua.
There were only three women here, and his girl Tang Jing Yan was the prettiest.
He had every reason to fear Xiao Yi was here to steal his goddess!
Any threat to her was intolerable.
Right now, he hoped Xiao Yi would drop dead sooner rather than later!
"Hey! Watch out! That monster's no joke—run!" Tang Jing Yan finally called out to Xiao Yi as he slowly approached the hulking zombie.
Just as everyone assumed Xiao Yi was doomed, he raised his long-handled machete and charged at the roaring hulking zombie.
"Fucking idiot! What a moron!"
"Overconfident prick! Thinks he can take that thing?"
"Suicidal fool! Total dumbass—deserves to die!"
"Why's he so stupid? Doesn't he want to live?"
Shen Jia Bin and the others couldn't hold back their curses as Xiao Yi rushed the hulking zombie.
But the next instant, their insults cut off abruptly!
The machete blade gleamed coldly under the sunlight, flashing once and gone.
Then, the hulking zombie's arm thudded heavily to the ground!
A spray of foul blood erupted, splattering the corridor windows with dark purple gore.
In their first clash, Xiao Yi had severed the hulking zombie's arm!
Including Shen Jia Bin, everyone on the rooftop was utterly stunned!
None of them had imagined the hulking zombie would prove so fragile!
The hulking zombie let out an enraged wail, snatching up another zombie with its remaining arm before lunging ferociously at Xiao Yi.
Hearts pounding on the rooftop, they all rose on tiptoe, eyes glued to the fight.
Xiao Yi simply pivoted lightly, and the blade flashed again.
This time, what hit the ground was the hulking zombie's head.
The rooftop survivors gaped, dumbfounded, frozen in place as Xiao Yi effortlessly slew the hulking zombie.
They couldn't fathom how this seemingly scrawny guy had so casually decapitated a monster like that!
Xiao Yi calmly approached the corpse, stowing the hulking zombie's body into his Space Bag.
This one was clearly bulkier and stronger than the previous hulking zombie he'd killed—bigger frame, greater power.
Consequently, burying it should yield more attribute points and End Coins.
Mission accomplished, Xiao Yi satisfiedly pocketed the body. He glanced up at Shen Jia Bin and the others on the rooftop, then vaulted back onto the drainpipe, leaping in a single bound to the sports hall balcony.
