Chapter 40
Escape from the Zombie Army!
The sharpness of Purple Lightning was indeed extraordinary. The zombie monster’s flexible and strong body was actually unable to block Purple Lightning’s cutting. The sword easily pierced into the zombie monster’s body.
With a sharp weapon in hand, Tang Zhen, who was at level two, had already killed four Saber Shield Ghost Soldiers. Compared to the last time when he relied on schemes to deal with those Saber Shield Ghost Soldiers, Tang Zhen was really fighting in close combat this time.
The shocking battle between life and death made Tang Zhen’s blood boil.
There were no less than hundreds of zombie monsters densely surrounding him. The four Saber Shield Ghost Soldiers that Tang Zhen killed were nothing at all. Often, just as he killed a zombie monster, the next one would rush up impatiently.
“Damn, what sin have I committed?”
Tang Zhen’s mouth tasted like blood.
In just a few minutes of being surrounded, he had already suffered countless heavy blows. Almost every attack could crush a strong adult man to death.
After all, these monsters had powerful strength that far exceeded ordinary humans.
It was all thanks to the protection of the black cloak that he didn’t become meat paste, but this didn’t mean that Tang Zhen was fine.
It was because the black cloak had an extremely good defense against cutting and piercing damage, but it seemed to be a little powerless against heavy attacks. The strength could still be felt faintly through the black cloak. Although it was much weaker, Tang Zhen was still shocked until he almost vomited blood.
“I have to think of a way to escape as soon as possible. Otherwise, once I’m exhausted, I can only choose to teleport. But teleporting among the zombie monsters is clearly not a good idea.”
Tang Zhen quickly dodged the zombies’ attacks while thinking of a way to escape.
The reason why Tang Zhen could teleport in front of the Zombie King clone and return nearly a hundred meters away from the Zombie King clone was because he had downloaded and activated a plug-in worth 500,000 gold coins just as he was about to be attacked.
[Beginner-level map Instant Transmission Plug-in. Allows user to teleport anywhere in the map. It can be used once every hour. The download price is 500,000 gold coins.]
The more than 500,000 gold coins he had just obtained in the blood pool were instantly consumed.
After destroying the zombie monster’s blood pool and obtaining another life-saving skill, Tang Zhen felt that it was worth it.
Unfortunately, the map teleportation had just been used up, and the cooldown time had yet to arrive, so there was no hope at all. Tang Zhen could only find another way.
He had stuffed many life-saving items into the storage space previously to prevent any accidents.
He took out bombs from the space one after another and ignited them as he dodged. Then, he threw them randomly at the places with more densely-packed zombie monsters.
At the same time that he threw the bomb, he also activated the infrasonic wave attack and started an indiscriminate attack.
Explosions sounded one after another among the zombie monsters. Countless zombie monsters were blown into the sky and then fell heavily.
Almost everywhere Tang Zhen walked in, there was an empty space cleared by the bomb.
The grass was filled with the limbs and minced meat of the zombie monsters. Some level-two zombie monsters were also killed by bombs. However, no matter how many level-two monsters he killed now, it couldn’t help him level up.
Only by killing level-three monsters would it be helpful for his level advancement.
Some level-three zombie monsters were also affected by the shock wave of the explosion, but none of them died. Their powerful bodies greatly weakened the lethality of the bomb.
On the other hand, the infrasound attack used by Tang Zhen had already revealed a trace of effect.
The zombie monsters that had been attacking Tang Zhen crazily previously had already become slow. They swayed left and right as they walked before they began to vomit and pee, causing extremely smelly black liquid to appear everywhere.
Some of the zombie monsters had even fallen to the ground. It was impossible to tell if they were dead or alive!
Tang Zhen also noticed this scene. Seeing a gap in the encirclement of the zombie monsters, how could he miss this opportunity? He immediately waved Purple Lightning crazily and forcefully opened a bloody path.
Just as Tang Zhen thought that he was about to escape, a monster-like war horse blocked his path. This war horse was tall and strong, its entire body filled with muscles. At the same time, it was covered in heavy horse armor.
Its blood-red beast eyes revealed the bloodthirsty killing intent that only cruel beasts had.
A knight in heavy armor was sitting on a horse. In his hand was an extremely wide three-meter-long iron spear that was suffused with a blood-colored cold light.
[Zombie Warhorse, level-three monster. It has a violent nature and astonishing endurance. It relies on biting and trampling attacks. Its weakness is that it’s afraid of strong light explosions.]
[Zombie Heavy cavalry, level-four monster. Wearing heavy armor, its defense is extremely strong and its strength is incomparably great. It can use simple battle skills, and its flaw is insufficient flexibility. After leaving its mount, its battle power is greatly reduced, and it can barely move.]
Just as this information flashed in front of Tang Zhen’s eyes, the cavalry had already shot at him with a heavy and shocking aura.
If he was hit by its spear, his head would probably immediately be separated from his body.
In the face of the attack of a level-four monster, how could Tang Zhen dare to let his guard down at all? At this moment, it was too late to dodge, but he took out a heavy shield from his storage space at lightning speed and faced the cavalry’s steel spear.
The shield Tang Zhen took out was a little unique.
It was more like a huge metal defense wall than a shield. It was two meters tall and 1.5 meters wide. There was an observation hole in the middle. Tang Zhen had specially bought high-quality steel to weld it.
This defensive shield weighed 230 pounds. The bottom was even welded with a support frame. It was stable and firm, completely able to withstand the violent impact of small vehicles like motorcycles.
A huge shield stood in front of Tang Zhen, actually completely covering his body.
If not for the powerful help of the storage space, Tang Zhen wouldn’t have been able to use such an overweight defensive weapon at all.
In an instant, the heavy-armored cavalry’s attack arrived.
“Clang!”
With a loud bang, the heavy metal shield trembled, and a dent was left on the surface.
The power of this zombie heavy cavalry was actually so powerful!
Tang Zhen felt as if his arm was about to break. The vibration almost made him vomit blood, but he also dodged the fatal blow of the other party’s spear.
He retracted the shield at an incomparably fast speed. At the same time, Tang Zhen activated the Magnesium Explosion.
An extremely dazzling light flashed, and the cavalry horse immediately neighed. It struggled uneasily and raised its two front hooves high.
Seeing that he couldn’t miss this opportunity, Tang Zhen charged forward and arrived below the horse’s abdomen. The Purple Lightning in his hand slashed at the horse’s back leg twice.
The zombie war horse neighed again. The incomparably sharp purple lightning short sword easily cut off the war horse’s hind legs, causing it to fall to the ground unsteadily.
“Roar!”
The zombie monster heavy rider that landed on the ground roared and stabbed at Tang Zhen.
However, Tang Zhen was already prepared. He released his shield to block again, but it was pierced through by the zombie heavy cavalry!
At the same time that he was shocked by the powerful strength of the zombie monster heavy cavalry, Tang Zhen ran for his life into the weeds without hesitation.
