Chapter 62: The Mountainous Threat

“Oh my god! We just killed hundreds of zombies, and now these three terrifying monsters have appeared?”

“Are these three frightening things even human anymore?”

“Nonsense! Once they turned into zombies, they stopped being human long ago!”

“No, that’s not what I mean… Even if they’re zombies, there should be some logic to it! Look at the bodies of these three zombies; they’re as tall and imposing as truck cabs!”

“Even from this distance, I’m so terrified my thighs won’t stop trembling.”

“You coward, why are you so scared? Look at me, Big Gold Tooth! Hmph…”

“Brother Ya, your legs are shaking so much they look like you’re having a seizure.”

Big Gold Tooth and the others had been terrified, but after witnessing the swarm of flames erupting from Bai Han’s palm incinerate all the zombies, they felt things weren’t so bad after all.

Before they could even let their guard down, a ground-shaking tremor suddenly erupted.

‘What the hell is appearing now?’ they thought, as Big Gold Tooth and his companions watched three mountain-like zombies slowly emerge from behind the wall.

Each step they took caused the very earth to tremble. Their powerful fists continuously slammed into the ground as they walked, shockingly carving out massive craters.

Staring at the network of cracks spreading across the ground, Big Gold Tooth and the others gulped. If those fists landed on them, even a fool could guess their fate.

They would undoubtedly be smashed into a paste by these monstrous zombies!

“Rub… Rubbish…! My body is as steady as a rock, how could I be shaking? Oh, quickly, help me up! Both my legs have cramped.”

“My brother will definitely win! He just burned hundreds of zombies to death. Besides, there are only three zombies now.”

“My dear, can these three zombies even compare to those weaklings from before? There’s absolutely no comparison! I think Brother Bai is in trouble this time!”

“What did you just say, you—I’ll…”

“Hey, hey, hey! Look, look! Brother Bai is making a move.”

As Bai Xia and Big Gold Tooth’s group spoke, Bai Han expressionlessly raised his right hand, which he had just lowered.

He then held it at chest level, as if gathering power. After a few seconds, he extended his right hand, raised it above his head, and swiftly slashed forward.

Strangely, the moment Bai Han made his move, the three roaring enhanced zombies suddenly fell silent. Their advancing bodies also halted at that exact instant.

No matter how the [Intelligent Zombie] behind the wall issued commands, the three enhanced zombies remained frozen in place, utterly motionless.

After Bai Han completed his slash, an expression suddenly reappeared on his face. The corner of his mouth even curved into a faint, relaxed smile. He then stepped forward, walking towards the three enhanced zombies.

“Oh my god! Has Brother Bai been scared senseless? Why is he walking right into them?”

“Even though those three zombies have stopped for some unknown reason, Brother Bai should be turning around and fleeing right now… not moving closer to them!”

“Exactly! Could it be that Brother Bai knows he can’t defeat these three monstrous zombies and has lost the will to resist?”

“No way! Brother Bai has superpowers, after all. Killing these three zombies with fire should be easy!”

“Hard to say. Using fire superpowers against these three monstrous zombies might be too weak. He needs something stronger!”

Just as Big Gold Tooth and the others were perplexed by Bai Han’s actions, their eyes suddenly caught sight of the motionless zombies moving!

The three mountain-like zombies moved, but not by raising their legs to attack Bai Han. Instead, half of each zombie’s head simultaneously detached from its body, rolling across the ground with a clatter.

One zombie’s head even rolled right in front of Big Gold Tooth, its two massive eyes staring directly at him. This sight instantly sent Big Gold Tooth, whose legs had just cramped, tumbling onto his backside, his thighs trembling even more violently.

After the heads of the three enhanced zombies fell off, their mountain-like bodies also instantly crashed to the ground.

Bai Han, however, had already bypassed their bodies, quickening his pace as he charged directly towards the area behind the wall.

****

Staring at the Level 2 enhanced zombie almost within reach, I sternly raised my right hand again, holding it at chest level without immediately extending it.

The flame division ability that had just incinerated hundreds of zombies, while impressive, was only effective for slaughtering ordinary Level 0 zombies due to my current low level.

However, despite being somewhat troublesome, three Level 2 enhanced zombies couldn’t truly frighten me.

I had managed to kill a Level 1 enhanced zombie even after my awakening failed.

Now that I was a Level 1 ability user, dealing with these Level 2 enhanced zombies wouldn’t be too difficult.

The only concern was my sister behind me. Even a slight oversight could put her in danger.

Therefore, I needed to approach these three Level 2 enhanced zombies with extreme caution.

Since the flame division ability wouldn’t suffice, and using ice against these mountain-like enhanced zombies would be somewhat strained, it was time to introduce my old companion!

The spatial ability that had returned with my rebirth remained at Level 6, making it more than enough to handle these three mere Level 2 enhanced zombies.

Indeed, the moment I unleashed my spatial cutting ability, the heads of the three enhanced zombies were instantly sliced open.

After quickly dispatching the three enhanced zombies, I immediately looked up towards the area behind the wall, knowing that the [Intelligent Zombie] was hiding there.

Based on my experience dealing with [Intelligent Zombies] in the apocalypse, deploying three enhanced zombies now clearly indicated they had no further tricks up their sleeve.

True, it was only the first day of the apocalypse. For the [Intelligent Zombie] to find three Level 2 enhanced zombies was already quite formidable.

Otherwise, according to the [Intelligent Zombie]’s usual tactics, while they excelled at schemes and deception, they typically employed a war of attrition when facing lone human ability users.

They would first send out minor soldiers, and then, once the ability user’s energy was depleted, dispatch their strongest zombie to finish them off.

It was precisely because I saw these three enhanced zombies that I knew the [Intelligent Zombie] had no powerful reserves left. It was time to deal with them!

With these thoughts, I immediately stepped over the three mountain-sized enhanced zombies. By the time their heads fell, I was already near the wall.

If this [Intelligent Zombie] were allowed to live, it would undoubtedly pose a massive threat to humanity in the future.

While I didn’t aspire to be a world-saving hero, in humanity’s dire moments, if I could help, I would do so.

After all, in the apocalypse, only by uniting could humanity continue to survive. This was also the reason for the existence of apocalypse bases.

And sure enough! Without expending too much effort, I found the [Intelligent Zombie] hiding behind the wall, attempting to escape.
