Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Crystal Core!

"Huh? These two zombies seem a bit off."

Lu Chuan, observing the battle from the rooftop, suddenly noticed that these two zombies seemed different from those he usually saw.

However, the seventh floor was too high to see clearly; he could only vaguely see that one had a somewhat larger physique, seemingly more robust than a typical zombie.

The other was smaller in stature but much faster than an ordinary zombie.

This peculiar phenomenon made Lu Chuan feel a surge of caution for no apparent reason, and he quickly descended to about the fourth-floor height.

At this position, he was finally able to see clearly what was happening below.

Only then did Lu Chuan notice that these two zombies were completely different from those he encountered on ordinary days.

One of the zombies had a physique nearly two meters tall, with an extremely robust body.

It was akin to a burly strongman type, and when it swung its muscular fists, even car doors on the roadside were dented by it!

Such formidable strength made Lu Chuan click his tongue in amazement.

Lu Chuan had no doubt that if he faced this zombie, he would be thoroughly done for if it landed a punch on him.

On the opposite side of this robust zombie, the other zombie's torso was relatively slender.

However, it was clear that its claws were quite sharp.

Ordinary zombies, even when using claws and teeth in combat, weren't much different from humans.

Due to the zombie virus, even human bodies could experience decay issues.

Yet this somewhat slim zombie had claws akin to five daggers, leaving five scratches on a car's body with a gentle swipe!

Watching these two powerful zombies fight from inside the building, Lu Chuan felt a wave of fear.

In recent days, he had been worried that the Blood Moon might have some effect on other zombies, so he hadn't gone out.

In retrospect, his decision was exceedingly wise.

The combat capability of these two zombies far exceeded his own.

Lu Chuan noticed that the more robust zombie, though lacking the terrifying claws of the other, had exceptionally resilient arms.

Those arms seemed to be made of steel, producing a sound like metal clashing when facing off against the other zombie.

Lu Chuan found it hard to imagine what kind of physiological structure these two zombies had, entirely on a different level from him.

Having practiced his sword skills these past days, Lu Chuan was confident that he could easily kill an ordinary zombie.

However, the two zombies downstairs now were a real eye-opener for Lu Chuan.

If Ji Ruxue were present, she would have identified the types of these two zombies.

One was a Tank Zombie, with a robust build, and the other was an Agile Type; these were relatively common types among Evolved Zombies.

They were also the zombies that survivors found particularly troublesome during the early stages of the apocalypse.

Although Lu Chuan didn't know the evolution types of these zombies, he could judge that they, like him, had undergone some evolution during the Blood Moon night.

However, it was clear that their evolutionary paths were different.

For instance, he could control the zombies' actions, which was a mental evolution, whereas in personal combat, he had only slightly enhanced himself compared to before, far from reaching this terrifying level of evolution.

These two zombies evidently followed a personal combat route, with different evolutionary paths.

One had a stronger and tougher physique, while the other was agile with a strong attack.

Either one of these zombies was a disaster for ordinary zombies, capable of easily slaughtering large numbers.

Lu Chuan was immensely grateful for his caution; if he hadn't stayed indoors this long,

he might have foolishly been killed by these two zombies or others like them.

After all, Lu Chuan's ability was telekinesis, not comparable in close combat.

As it stands, the world is far more terrifying than he had imagined!

Lu Chuan's mind grew increasingly heavy; his recent pride from evolution needed to be tempered with an understanding of the cruel reality of the world.

But Lu Chuan was curious about why these two zombies suddenly started fighting, as same-species generally wouldn't cannibalize each other.

At least until now, Lu Chuan hadn't encountered zombies that would eat each other; this was his first time seeing such a phenomenon.

"Could all the zombies outside have gone mad with hunger now? That can't be, zombie meat is so unappetizing..."

As a zombie himself, Lu Chuan didn't find his own meat to have any appealing taste.

His blood had long dried up; eating zombies was no better than chewing on jerky...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The commotion from the two zombies fighting downstairs grew louder, crushing several nearby cars.

A trace of gravity flashed in Lu Chuan's eyes as he saw that a conclusion was near.

The robust Tank Zombie needed only to swing its arms to cause enormous destruction.

The agile zombie, though powerful, couldn't break through the opponent's defense.

Moreover, its weakened body couldn't withstand even a single punch, while its own attacks merely managed to pierce the opponent's arm, unable to go all out in battle.

Finally, after a chaotic skirmish, the Tank Zombie swung its fists fiercely, sending the agile zombie flying.

Then, the robust Tank Zombie, moving like a charging off-road vehicle, instantly appeared before the agile zombie.

That massive fist was incomparable to the agile zombie's slender torso, unable to withstand the Tank Zombie's attack.

In just a few blows, the Tank Zombie broke the agile zombie's spine.

Bam!

Another fierce punch shattered the agile zombie's head, ending its life completely.

The tremendous force of the blow flattened both the agile zombie and the car beneath, causing Lu Chuan to shiver involuntarily.

At this point, Lu Chuan noticed that, after the victory, the Tank Zombie pulled out a white Crystal Core from the other zombie's head with its massive hand.

"What is this?!"

Seeing the white Crystal Core, an inexplicable desire surged in Lu Chuan's heart, an intense longing for this item.

Although Lu Chuan didn't know what it was, he felt that his body instinctively craved it.

It seemed that consuming the Crystal Core would greatly benefit his own body.

"Could it be that the battle between these two zombies was to seize the Crystal Core inside each other's heads?!"
