Veridia Base was currently short on weapons, so the primary means of killing zombies were Superpowers.
Although Mordecai Quinn’s arrival had given the team a good start, casualties quickly began to mount.
"These zombies are too ferocious!"
"The Mutated Zombies have evolved again! Be careful!"
As an Earth Element Superpower User, Daniel Lewis immediately conjured a Stone Shield to block for a Defense Soldier, but the shield was shattered by a single punch from an Alloyed Zombie!
Watching a Defense Soldier get his head grabbed by a zombie and lifted high into the air, Daniel Lewis screamed and conjured several Stone Spikes.
Although the Alloyed Zombie was killed, their comrade inevitably began to turn into a zombie soon after.
With more and more Mutated Zombies swarming the area, everyone had to push down their grief and fury and immediately throw themselves into the next kill.
ROAR!
A violent roar accompanied the shaking of the ground.
Mordecai Quinn looked in that direction and saw a tall Mutated Zombie, completely covered in Stone Armor, running rapidly toward them.
"Gunners, full firepower!
Everyone, on defense! It’s that Intermediate Zombie!"
Mordecai Quinn shouted.
The last time he saw this Intermediate Earth Element Zombie, it was tall, but it wasn’t yet covered in hard stone.
It was even tougher to deal with now!
"Yes!"
Some voices trembled, but they still readied themselves to fight.
After all, the last time this Earth Element Zombie appeared, their party of 300 had been almost completely wiped out.
The sounds of weapons firing rose and fell in waves.
Whether it was sniper rifles or massive rocket launchers, they all did very limited damage to the Intermediate Zombie.
ROAR!
After being struck by two rockets powerful enough to blast deep craters in the ground, the Intermediate Earth Element Zombie stopped in its tracks.
"Why did it stop?" someone said.
’Did our attacks actually work?’
"Don’t let your guard down."
Mordecai Quinn had a bad feeling about this.
And sure enough, after a low growl, dozens of sharp Stone Spikes shot toward the group!
Along with the Stone Spikes, the Earth Element Zombie picked up its pace!
"Get out of the way!"
Mordecai Quinn yelled at the gunners.
Its target was them!
Their previous attacks had pissed it off!
Besides this Intermediate Zombie, a ceaseless tide of other zombies was surging toward them.
Just dealing with what was in front of them was already pushing everyone to their limit.
"Y-Yes!"
A weapons operator shouldered his rocket launcher and started scrambling backward.
But a Stone Spike hit him in the thigh.
’It’s over.’
He couldn’t bring himself to abandon one of the base’s few remaining rocket launchers, but he also knew he was a dead man.
His wound was still bleeding, and the Intermediate Zombie quickly noticed him.
He tried to crawl backward, still carrying the weapon on his back.
But a shadow still fell over him from behind.
Mordecai Quinn, who had just lopped the heads off several zombies in a row, saw the situation and rushed over.
ROAR!
The Intermediate Zombie stretched out its sharp claws, swiping at the man on the ground.
"No!"
As Mordecai Quinn screamed, the weapons operator’s eyes widened in terror.
An almost transparent sand shield had appeared in front of him.
It blocked the Intermediate Zombie’s claws.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The Intermediate Zombie hammered the sand shield again and again with its petrified fists.
But the shield didn’t even budge.
"That’s..."
Mordecai Quinn whipped his head around and saw a slender figure leaping high from mid-air.
THUD!
Wielding her Fire Roaring Blade, Nina Jacobs seized the opportunity and lopped off one of the Intermediate Earth Element Zombie’s hands.
ROAR!
The Earth Element Zombie staggered back several steps.
Nina Jacobs quickly scanned the battlefield. No wonder the surrounding zombies were all converging here.
’The stench of blood is too strong.’
"Look out! It’s dangerous!"
