"Damn it! You'll die here today!"
With dazzling electricity, Whale Shark, carrying the force of thunder, charged ferociously towards the Super Mutant that was entangled by the Qing Zombie.
Although the Qing Zombie originated from the Super Mutant, their characteristics were not the same. The Qing Zombie was smaller in size, and its strength and speed might even surpass the Super Mutant, but it had lost its most crucial super regenerative ability.
At first, the Qing Zombie's pounce was indeed effective. With one strike, it tore off half of the Super Mutant's arm, and the subsequent overwhelming continuous attacks battered the Super Mutant into the ground.
However, such injuries were nothing to the Super Mutant. Pinned to the ground, it raised its right arm to block the Qing Zombie's attacks. Its already exaggerated arm swelled again, blocking all attacks like a shield.
Then, the muscles of its broken left arm rapidly swelled, growing back to its original length in just a few seconds, but it didn't grow a hand. Instead, it condensed into a sharp point, piercing through the Qing Zombie's abdomen like a long spear and hoisting it up.
Next, the Super Mutant's right arm quickly deformed, taking on the shape of a long blade. Its surface skin hardened into chitin, and the sharp edge was hard and keen. It swung towards the zombie's neck.
Just at this moment, Whale Shark arrived. The adamantium alloy blade, wreathed in electricity, descended like a thunderbolt, severing the Super Mutant's right arm with one strike!
The hard and thick chitinous shell could not stop the sharpness of the adamantium alloy blade. However, the Super Mutant's power was far from that simple.
As the severed arm flew off, several needle-like tentacles suddenly shot out from the Super Mutant's arm's incision. Their tips were sharp, their interiors hollow, and they swiftly stabbed towards Whale Shark.
Whale Shark leaned his upper body back, dodging the direct thrust of the tentacles. At the same time, he rotated his right wrist, and the adamantium alloy blade severed these tentacles with one cut.
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
Black liquid sprayed from the severed tentacles. Although Whale Shark tried his best to dodge, a few drops of black liquid still splashed onto his skin.
Immediately, black lines spread in all directions, rapidly proliferating like a spiderweb. The center covered by the black lines quickly grew disgusting pustules.
Whale Shark's expression changed. He quickly swung the adamantium alloy blade, slicing off all areas splashed by the black liquid, along with large chunks of flesh.
Bright red blood flowed out, but the pain made Whale Shark feel at ease. Because those few pieces of excised flesh had already turned completely black, rapidly growing a large number of blisters and tumors, stacked and squeezed together, dense and extremely disgusting.
On the other side, the Qing Zombie was still impaled by the Super Mutant, but the Qing Zombie did not give up attacking. Its long claws continuously scratched at the Super Mutant's chest and abdomen.
While tearing off large chunks of flesh, a large amount of corpse poison continuously eroded the Super Mutant's body, causing a large amount of flesh to rot and spoil, becoming putrid, foul-smelling chunks of rotten meat that fell from the Super Mutant's body.
The corpse poison inhibited the Super Mutant's regeneration, causing the missing flesh in its chest and abdomen to grow slowly. Its bones and mangled internal organs were visible.
However, while the Qing Zombie was attacking the Super Mutant, it was also suffering immense damage itself.
The Super Mutant's unknown toxin was continuously injected into the Qing Zombie's body through the arm that pierced it, corroding and mutating its body, making the Qing Zombie's bones soft, its skin and flesh melting, and dark blood being squeezed out from all its pores, flowing along its green fur. Then, the green fur was also corroded, becoming a sticky substance clinging to its body, like it had been drenched with a bucket of asphalt.
"Boom!"
A familiar gunshot rang out, and the Super Mutant's head exploded.
Its movements were restrained by Whale Shark and the Qing Zombie, so it couldn't dodge the bullet fired by Qin Wumeng.
However, the headless Super Mutant was still not dead. Flesh continuously surged from the bloody cavity of its neck, attempting to regrow a head.
How could the Reincarnators let it have its way?
Taking advantage of the headless Super Mutant's temporarily slowed movements, Whale Shark leaped up, the electrically shimmering adamantium alloy blade raised above his head. Amidst the crackling sounds of surging currents, he cleaved down the center of the Super Mutant's body with one strike!
"Bang!" Whale Shark kicked up, sending the Super Mutant's severed left half flying, preventing the two halves from quickly rejoining and regenerating.
As the two halves of the body separated, countless tiny tentacles shot out from the cut surface, attempting to re-entwine and fuse back together.
"Today, you... will die!"
Whale Shark roared, rushing towards the half of the body that was still impaling the Qing Zombie. Blade light flashed, rapidly slicing, continuously dividing that half of the body into smaller chunks of meat.
Under Whale Shark's furious assault, the upper half of the Super Mutant's half-body had already turned into scattered fragments on the surrounding ground.
The Qing Zombie was also freed, its claws continuously tearing at the Super Mutant's remaining leg, which was still instinctively flexing and extending.
"Boom!"
Another gunshot rang out. Whale Shark twisted his gaze and saw the other half of the body he had kicked away. It had been shot, breaking its only half-waist, and was once again divided into upper and lower parts.
And in the short time between Whale Shark kicking it away and Qin Wumeng shooting its body, this half-crippled body had stubbornly grown tendrils, piercing into the bodies of surrounding zombies, absorbing their flesh to frantically recover and grow!
"Die for me!" Whale Shark pursued with his blade, once again chopping the two severed halves into minced meat.
Only at this moment did he hear the Main God's notification.
"[Cooperative kill of one Super Mutant, gain 500 reward points!]"
"Cooperative kill?" Whale Shark paused slightly, then nonchalantly kicked away a fist-sized chunk of meat underfoot. "Damn thing, so hard to kill!"
If he had encountered this Super Mutant alone, he would probably either be fleeing or fighting to the death right now!
At the same time, Zhou Ming also received the Main God's notification of a cooperative kill, gaining 200 reward points.
"Not bad." He had long known that zombies he controlled that killed other zombies would count towards his own score, so he wasn't surprised.
However, the meritorious meat shield of this battle, that Qing Zombie, was severely injured. A large number of its internal organs, bones, and muscles were dissolved, making it impossible to continue fighting.
Zhou Ming didn't care, or rather, he hadn't paid much attention to this battle from the beginning.
Ninety-nine percent of his attention was focused elsewhere.
Something terrifying was rapidly approaching from the southwest of the city.
That surging, boiling Aura, that undisguised extreme malice, that intense sense of crisis like needle pricks and axe blows, seemed to materialize, like giant waves stirred by a magnitude ten tsunami, frantically impacting Zhou Ming's Soul.
Dread, unease, worry, fear—even from such a distance, it had already caused a huge impact on Zhou Ming's mind.
This was a powerful existence that could not be treated with too much caution!
The Ultimate Mutant!
This was also the reason why Zhou Ming had not actively made a move until now. In order to prepare for the likely confrontation with it, he had to accumulate every bit of his strength.
"Moving in a straight line the entire time, without any pause. Buildings can't obstruct it at all. Its speed... so fast! It's moving over a hundred meters per second. Did it come from outside the city?"
As the distance continuously closed, Zhou Ming's powerful Soul Power allowed him to sense the opponent's movements more clearly.
Just then, Gong He's voice sounded from the communicator.
"Finished! We can withdraw! Wait..."
"Bang!"
"What did you do!"
Gong He's voice was mixed with anger and panic, accompanied by echoing gunshots, exploding in the headphones.
Zhou Ming's heart sank. He quickly asked, "What happened?"
"Dr. Max, he..."
Before Gong He could finish speaking, a roar filled with anger and sorrow suddenly resounded through the heavens and earth.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!!!"
The Soul-piercing roar made Zhou Ming's ears buzz. He couldn't help but cover his ears and shake his head.
Then, he discovered that all the zombies on the entire battlefield began to riot!
They attacked everything with extreme ferocity, moving faster, stronger, even less afraid of Life Qi, and even actively seeking death!
Everything for the attack, everything only for the attack! The suddenly increased pressure instantly suppressed the zombie army's offensive. The zombie defensive line around the villa was almost torn to shreds in a matter of breaths!
"Damn it!" Zhou Ming pressed his earpiece and shouted inside, "Uncle Gong! Gong He! Can you hear me? What exactly happened!"
"Hiss... hiss..."
A few static sounds came from the earpiece, then communication quickly resumed, and Gong He's voice came through.
"That zombie is dead! Dr. Max shot it dead!"
