#180 - Mutated monster, Song Haitang's strength
Chapter 180: Mutant Monster, Song Haitang's Strength
This world...
The disaster has been ongoing for two or three years.
In such a long time, even the wealthiest landowners would have run out of surplus grain.
Now, food is definitely the most scarce and important resource!
And that convenience store just now, it looks like it has a lot of food, but there are only a few zombies wandering around...
This phenomenon is definitely abnormal!
Just a few zombies, even without ability users, ordinary survivors could take care of them.
It's impossible for it to exist until now.
This is why Song Haitang didn't take action just now.
...
The few people on the second floor discussed for a while, and finally made a decision.
They want to cooperate!
Such a decision is completely out of desperation.
Because they haven't eaten anything for two or three days, and basically everything edible around them has been eaten up. If they don't get food, they can only wait for death when their strength is exhausted.
So, they can't afford to wait.
A moment later.
Someone came down from the second floor.
This time, it was not just the middle-aged man alone, but three people.
In addition to the middle-aged man, the remaining two were young men.
Song Haitang heard very clearly that there were a total of six voices speaking just now, including both men and women.
That is to say, there are actually three people upstairs.
"We are willing to cooperate!"
The middle-aged man came down and went straight to the point: "But before cooperating, we want to confirm, are you an ability user?"
Song Haitang didn't answer, just raised a hand.
The next moment!
Puff!
A ball of flame emerged from her palm, instantly illuminating the surroundings and dispelling some of the cold.
The three people in front of her were immediately startled.
The middle-aged man quickly said: "Enough, enough, please put the fire away, it will easily attract the monster's attention..."
His tone unconsciously carried respect.
Hearing this, Song Haitang waved her small hand, and the flame disappeared without a trace.
The surroundings fell into a dim state again.
Song Haitang noticed that the two young men behind the middle-aged man looked at each other, and both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
She could understand what these people were happy about.
After the disaster, the thick fog gradually covered the globe, almost blocking the sunlight, causing the ground temperature to become colder and colder.
Even if it is not winter now, the highest temperature during the day is only a few degrees, and it is below zero at night.
If there could be a fire-type ability user in their team, it would be much more convenient at night.
In addition.
Fire-type ability users have higher attack power.
They are definitely ability users that all major forces like.
"I really didn't expect that you would be a fire ability user."
The middle-aged man said: "I just don't know, how are we going to cooperate?"
Song Haitang said: "You should first show your sincerity in cooperation!"
"Sincerity?" The middle-aged man was stunned.
Song Haitang did not speak.
She is not clear about the surrounding environment and situation.
At this time, the more you say, the more mistakes you make.
So, so far, every sentence of Song Haitang is a versatile word, without revealing the slightest inadequacy.
The middle-aged man frowned and thought for a moment.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Okay, in order to show our sincerity in cooperation, I will take the lead later to lure out that monster! When the monster appears, you will take action, how about that?"
As soon as his voice fell.
The two young men behind him were shocked.
"Third Uncle..."
The middle-aged man waved his hand, signaling the young man not to speak, just looking at Song Haitang, waiting for Song Haitang's statement.
Song Haitang showed a slight smile.
Originally, she thought that it would be good if these people could share information.
Unexpectedly, there are unexpected gains.
Although Song Haitang's inner heart is a kind camp, the girl knows the importance of things.
In the Spirit Realm world, everything must be based on protecting yourself, and the premise of releasing kindness is to save your life!
Therefore, if someone takes the initiative to explore the road, Song Haitang will naturally have no objections.
"Okay, let's do that then!"
Song Haitang said.
She is also very curious, what exactly is the monster hidden around the convenience store?
So, the two sides reached a temporary alliance.
And each other is wary and guarded against each other.
Song Haitang is not worried that she will be taken advantage of by these people after the event is completed.
After all, she is also the "Number One Newcomer" on the surface, and her current mental attributes are already close to 5,000 points (including the champion reward of the National Spirit Realm), and her overall strength has definitely reached the fifth level.
Even in this world, she can be regarded as a strong person.
Even, she can already make part of her body elementalized.
The guns in the hands of these survivors pose no threat to her at all!
"It's getting dark, since we have reached an agreement, let's act as soon as possible!"
The middle-aged man said again: "The monster is even more powerful at night!"
Song Haitang nodded.
The teacher also said that nighttime is a paradise for monsters, and their strength will be greatly improved.
A group of people approached the convenience store.
On the way.
A young man approached the middle-aged man and couldn't help but whisper: "Third Uncle, why did you suddenly decide to take the lead? Didn't we agree to let that ability user go first?"
The middle-aged man said: "Don't treat people as fools. Although they are young, how many of those who can survive alone until now are fools?"
"In addition, our team is really too weak and needs the protection of an ability user! I'm doing this to show sincerity and leave a good impression on people, so we can talk later."
The young man was stunned: "Third Uncle, do you mean you want to absorb that ability user into our team?"
"What are you dreaming about? Can you have a little self-awareness? Our team only has a few strong young men and a few guns. You still want an ability user to condescend to join us?"
The third uncle reprimanded the young man, and then said: "It's us who depend on that ability user! We must respect her!"
Hearing this, the young man felt a little resentful in his heart.
However.
Thinking of Song Haitang's appearance, he suddenly felt that this didn't seem unacceptable.
To be honest, when he first saw Song Haitang, he really felt like he had seen a celestial being. He only felt that Song Haitang was even more beautiful than the big stars in the peaceful era.
If he wasn't still hungry, he would probably be dreaming...
"Third Uncle, let me take the lead later, okay?" The young man volunteered.
The third uncle glanced at the young man and disdainfully said: "It's not your turn to show off! When will you be able to practice what I taught you, then think about this!"
Although his tone was full of ridicule.
But on his face, there was a gratified smile.
...
The location of the convenience store.
It's coming soon.
At this time, everyone has separated and stood in position.
The survivors with guns occupied hidden spots on both sides of the street, all aiming their weapons at the convenience store.
It was clear they were well-coordinated.
Then, the middle-aged man took a deep breath, glanced at Song Haitang in the other direction, nodded in acknowledgment, and approached the convenience store.
As he walked, he pulled a silenced pistol from his waist.
As the middle-aged man approached.
The zombies wandering in front of the convenience store immediately noticed him, howling and rushing towards him.
These zombies moved very quickly, about as fast as normal people, not the slow, lumbering type.
"Pew! Pew!"
The middle-aged man drew his pistol, headshotting them one by one with almost every shot.
Judging by his movements, he must have been a soldier before; his posture with the gun was very standard, and he was also very agile.
It seemed that the survivors who could survive in the apocalyptic environment were indeed skilled.
In just a few breaths.
All the zombies were dealt with by the middle-aged man.
By this time, the middle-aged man had already reached the vicinity of the convenience store.
But just then.
Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the second-floor window of the convenience store, pouncing directly at the middle-aged man.
But the middle-aged man already knew that there were monsters hidden around, and had been secretly on guard.
Seeing the monster appear at this moment, rushing towards him, he rolled on the ground, leaving his original position.
When he stood up, he had a Desert Eagle in his left hand, aiming both guns at the monster!
"Bang, bang, bang—"
Gunshots rang out continuously.
The middle-aged man's marksmanship was also very accurate, with hardly a shot missing.
Surprisingly, even the large-caliber Desert Eagle could not effectively harm the monster.
The monster charged directly at the middle-aged man, ignoring the bullets, and pounced again.
At this time, Song Haitang finally saw clearly what the monster was.
Its appearance was very similar to a zombie, with large areas of its body rotting and its face hideous.
Even its beating heart could be seen from the wound on the monster's chest.
Song Haitang recognized what this monster was at first glance.
Teacher Shen had taught her!
In the vast zombie population, a small number of mutated individuals would appear, which were locally called "Mutated Zombies."
Compared with real monsters, mutated zombies might be somewhat different in strength.
However, once a zombie mutated, it would successfully activate its brain, develop intelligence, and be able to control ordinary zombies.
Earlier, when she heard those people talking.
Song Haitang had guessed that the monsters around the convenience store were likely mutated zombies.
Because only mutated zombies could control ordinary zombies, allowing these six or seven zombies to linger at the convenience store entrance.
At this moment, Song Haitang.
Her eyes were fixed on the mutated zombie.
She was analyzing the strength of the mutated zombie in front of her.
Because the strength of mutated zombies was not constant, it would evolve over time.
Some powerful mutated zombies were even as strong as those terrifying monsters...
...
"Bang!"
Another gunshot.
This shot was very loud.
Song Haitang, with her sharp eyes, saw that it was a girl on the roof behind her who had fired the shot.
And the gun in her hand was an AWM sniper rifle!
This sniper rifle used 0.338 Lapua Magnum rounds (8.6mm caliber), with considerable power.
Moreover, the girl's marksmanship was also very accurate, the bullet hitting the zombie's head directly.
However, the scene of a headshot did not appear as imagined.
The bullet was stuck on the mutated zombie's skull...
To know that the power of this shot could even penetrate steel plates, but it did not penetrate the mutated zombie's skull?
Everyone around who saw this scene was shocked.
Including Song Haitang, who was somewhat surprised.
However, there was no time for everyone to think about it.
Because the mutated zombie seemed to have been angered, it let out a howl, abandoned the middle-aged man, jumped up, went straight to the roof of the second floor, and then pounced on the girl.
From the ground to the roof of the second floor, it was at least seven or eight meters high.
That the zombie could jump up showed that this guy's jumping ability was very strong!
"Xiao Na, dodge!"
A young man shouted and quickly raised his rifle, shooting at the zombie.
The others hiding in the dark also fired.
Being able to survive until now, the firepower in these people's hands was indeed not weak.
However, their bullets could not stop the mutated zombie at all.
The girl called "Xiao Na" was not panicked, nor did she run away immediately, but aimed at the mutated zombie again.
"Bang!"
She fired again.
However, this time, an abnormal phenomenon appeared.
The mutated zombie slightly turned sideways, actually dodging it.
Good heavens!
This beast's reaction speed is so fast? It can even dodge bullets?
The reason it didn't dodge the bullet just now must be because it didn't think it was necessary to dodge.
Only at this moment did the girl Xiao Na reveal a trace of panic and fear.
She quickly stood up from her prone position, and then, holding the sniper rifle, ran away quickly.
Seeing this, Song Haitang knew that it was time for her to take action.
The reason she hadn't acted until now was that she wanted to see the strength of this team and the cooperation between its members.
Now, the girl was about to be caught up by the mutated zombie; if she didn't take action, someone would die.
"Poof!"
A flame ignited from Song Haitang's index finger.
Then, Song Haitang pointed her index finger at the chasing mutated zombie!
"Whoosh!"
The sound of air being torn apart rang out.
That small flame actually shot towards the mutated zombie like a bullet.
At first.
The mutated zombie didn't take the small flame seriously at all.
However.
When the small flame hit it, it realized that it had made a fatal mistake.
"Boom!"
A bursting sound rang out.
The small flame suddenly exploded on the mutated zombie, igniting a raging fire.
Instantly!
The mutated zombie let out a miserable howl, stopped chasing, rolled on the spot, rolled directly from the second floor, and fell to the ground.
It was not dead and was desperately trying to put out the flames on its body.
Song Haitang certainly wouldn't give it this chance.
The girl waved her hand, and a ball of flame landed on the mutated zombie.
Instantly!
The raging fire directly engulfed the mutated zombie.
Everything around was illuminated red, and the temperature was rising sharply.
Even those few survivors who were relatively far away felt the heat wave.
"Aww!"
The mutated zombie kept wailing in the sea of fire.
Soon, there was no sound.
And the fire was still burning.
Song Haitang waved her hand, dispelling the light.
Everyone immediately looked over.
On the ground, where was the mutated zombie? There was only a pile of black residue left.
...
