Chapter 259: Chapter 218, Big Head Level 3_1
After sharing Xiao Xiao’s perspective, I let her go.
Drifting off to the side, she spoke about how horrific the Big Head Zombie was inside, saying how the Skeleton seemed somewhat cuter.
Li Yahong then asked, “How was it?”
Instead of answering, Wu Heng asked back, “Has the Central Office released any information about classifications or characteristics of the Big Head Zombie?”
“Classification?” Li Yahong pondered, then said, “I haven’t heard of any classifications, only that they have large heads, move unusually slow, and can control a certain number of zombies.”
Wu Heng nodded, explaining: “Xiao Xiao was right. There’s a Level 2 Crawling Mutant Zombie and another zombie with a large skull-like head, but I suspect it’s a Level 3 Mutant Zombie.”
“Level 3?” Li Yahong was shocked.
The Central Office had only reported a few Level 3 zombies. Yet, she encountered one two days ago and now another today.
What kind of damned luck was this?
If it hadn’t been for Wu Heng’s Skeletons, they would surely be dead by now.
She felt that the ‘Flame God Shelter’ was really lucky to have chosen to withdraw today.
If they had been stubborn and decided to test their luck, they would probably have died without a trace left.
“What should we do?” Li Yahong asked again.
“It’s not a big problem. Capturing this factory area is still feasible.”
Even though it was a Level 3 Mutant Zombie, the problem wasn’t too serious.
The zombie population in the factory area was limited and, unlike in the city, a fight wouldn’t attract hordes of nearby zombies.
This was a good place to kill it.
Moreover, Skull Crusher had joined their team, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
After some thought, he said, “Let the caravan wait here. All Skeletons, dismount and follow me.”
Li Yahong picked up the walkie-talkie, explaining the plan to the rest of the team.
All the Skeletons in the carriage jumped down and started to assemble.
Once all the Skeletons were ready, Wu Heng waved his hand and the team immediately marched in the direction of the factory.
…
Swoosh-Swoosh-Swoosh!
As the Skeleton army approached the factory gate, it immediately raised the alarm among the wandering zombies inside.
Roar-Roar-Roar!
Intense roars echoed one after another inside the factory.
A horde of zombies began to converge at the gate, like a surging flood charging towards them.
“Throw the spears, now!” Wu Heng ordered the moment he gauged the distance to the zombie horde.
Whoosh!
Iron spears formed a large black net, falling from the sky.
Amid the clanging, the zombies at the forefront were instantly pierced, falling to the ground.
Without waiting for the others to rise.
The ones behind them trampled over the fallen zombies, continuing their charge forward.
“Throw them all!”
Swoosh-Swoosh-Swoosh!
The Skeletons didn’t wait for another order.
They threw their spears, one after another.
A rain of iron fell again and again, covering the ground with two to three layers of corpses.
Roar!
The zombie horde, oblivious to death, continued to charge forward, stepping over the bodies of their companions.
Wu Heng quickly released the [White Bone Armor], a layer of white bones covering his entire body.
He quickly moved to the front of the Skeleton group.
He released the [Grease Skill] in the direction of the incoming zombie horde.
The slick grease covered the ground.
The zombies at the front immediately slipped, causing a large number to fall.
He continued to release the [Fireball Technique]. The scorching fireball flew out, hitting a zombie. The flames spread, igniting the grease.
The fire rose instantly, creating an undulating heat wave, causing the air to twist as it burned.
A large number of zombies were engulfed by the flames, struggling and shrieking.
Just as the Skeleton troop was bracing themselves for the zombies to rush past the fire and collide with their spear array.
The zombie horde suddenly halted behind the flames.
Although they were still waving their claws and roaring, they were gradually retreating.
“This proves it’s a Big Head Zombie type.”
The one controlling the Zombie horde was definitely the Big Head Zombie.
The horde of undead paused momentarily, then aimed to bypass the blazing fire, clambering over the two side walls of the courtyard and continued to attack the skeletons outside.
Upon observing this, Wu Heng instructed, “Order the spearmen skeletons to await them at the base of the wall.”
Two squads of spearmen skeletons moved to position themselves at the bottom of the fortress wall.
The zombies that jumped off the wall fell directly onto the upright spears.
One after another, they became impaled and slid off.
About ten minutes later.
The fire gradually extinguished, leaving only a few charred corpses still burning with embers.
The moment the raging fire ceased, the zombies launched another attack.
They stormed in with a pungent, nauseating smell of decay.
They rushed directly into the spear arrays of the skeletons, their bodies impaled by spears, accompanied by their agonizing screams.
A moment of chaos ensued.
In droves, the zombies began dying off.
Wu Heng, standing at the middle-back of the formation, promptly ordered, “Advance.”
With a clatter~!
At this point, the skeletons were far superior in level to the zombies. Among them, several beast warriors added to the crushing dominance of the skeleton army.
Thousands of skeletons, undeterred by the zombies, marched into the factory. As they progressed, they left a trail of bloodied corpses in their wake.
“Uncle, there are zombies coming from that side,” Xiao Xiao appeared in mid-air, pointing to the side.
Behind the administrative building, a large group of zombies charged, showing their fangs and claws.
Wu Heng nodded and commanded one of the large-headed skeletons: “Send a small team to kill those zombies.”
A squad of skeleton warriors immediately separated out.
They headed straight for the group of zombies planning a flank attack.
In the ensuing intense battle, the skeletons became increasingly vicious, overpowering the zombies’ assault.
…
The sky darkened.
All the lights in the factory were turned on.
The bright white light illuminated the corpses littering the ground.
The horde of undead outside had been entirely eradicated, with the remainders retreating into the administrative building in sight.
That’s where the big-headed zombie was hiding.
“Attack!” Wu Heng commanded.
The skeletons launched a renewed assault on the building.
Bang~!
Suddenly, the glass on the fifth floor shattered violently. An enormous crawling zombie burst through the windows, crawling around the external walls quickly.
Astride the crawling zombie was that big-headed zombie.
The crawling zombie was swift in its movements, climbing relentlessly upwards along the walls of the building, gradually disappearing from sight in the darkness of the night.
Bang~!
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard. Lieyi fired a shot from afar.
The bullet instantly penetrated the crawler’s lower back, almost causing it to lose its footing and fall.
After a wary glance downwards, it continued to climb on the other side of the building.
“Go up, kill them, don’t let any escape,” Wu Heng continued.
Three skeleton scary claw monsters immediately climbed the building, chasing upwards.
Wu Heng, along with some gun-wielding skeletons, began to provide firepower coverage from below.
The firearms precision of regular skeletons wasn’t accurate.
However, under the unrestrained gunfire, the crawling zombie’s movement was hindered.
Caught by the three ‘scary claw monsters,’ a vehement struggle took place outside the building.
Whew~thump!
A dull thud as the bodies hit the ground resonated.
Both the mutated zombies abruptly fell to the ground.
“Kill them!”
The crawling zombie still attempted to rise, but a direct hit from Skull Crusher crushed its skull.
The big-headed zombie with its head smashed in.
Using its short forelimbs, struggled to crawl away, leaving a streak of thick liquid in its wake.
Blood Axe walked over.
Foot on its deformed body, the axe fell, and the enormous head rolled off.
