At the front of the convoy, Anselm Hughes had already conjured a huge Metal Shield, bringing it down to trap a group of zombies.
"Damn it, that one got away!"
Drake Shaw shouted.
Anselm Hughes’s primary target had been the Speed Element Mutated Zombie.
But it had managed to escape at the critical moment.
"Protect the vehicles and supplies!"
Anselm Hughes shouted from the roof of a vehicle after confirming that the cars in the middle were safe.
"Aargh!"
Another person was killed in a single strike by the Speed Element zombie.
"Help me, General Hughes..."
The man clutched his neck and collapsed. Just two minutes later, his entire body began to convulse uncontrollably.
A Gold Spike put an end to his transformation.
"I’ve kept you all around for this long, not for you to be useless trash!"
Anselm Hughes continued to unleash a rain of Gold Spikes, and several zombies fell one after another.
"General Hughes is so incredible."
Cecily Wells watched the scene ahead, her face full of admiration.
Nina Jacobs observed for a moment and gained a preliminary understanding of their strength.
An Intermediate Gold Element Superpower User was indeed much stronger.
However, Anselm Hughes was protecting the supply vehicles, not the escort team members.
The number of casualties continued to rise.
The Speed Element zombie, in particular, weaved through the crowd unpredictably, like a phantom.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Several Gold Spikes shot toward the Speed Element zombie from different directions.
But only one managed to hit the zombie’s arm.
"Damn it."
Anselm Hughes cursed.
"It looks like it circled around to the back!"
"General Hughes, should we use the ’bait’?"
someone shouted.
Although the "bait" were ordinary people, they could often be highly effective.
However, because the "bait" was so effective, they were usually saved for life-or-death situations.
"It’s not time for that yet."
Anselm Hughes said.
Nina Jacobs and Cecily Wells were still guarding the rear. He glanced toward the back of the convoy, only to freeze the next second.
In the distance, an enormous spike had shot up from the ground, impaling a pale gray zombie.
It was the Speed Element zombie.
And not far away stood Nina Jacobs, with a trembling driver behind her.
"Thank you, thank you, Captain Jacobs."
The driver, Singer, stared at the earth spike, which was over three meters tall, and praised her silently.
Just now, the Speed Element zombie had suddenly appeared and shattered the passenger-side window. The person in the passenger seat was killed instantly, and he had scrambled out of the car in terror.
If that earth spike hadn’t shot up at the critical moment, he would have definitely been bitten!
"You’re welcome. It was just a lucky shot."
With a calm expression, Nina Jacobs casually finished off the passenger who was in the middle of turning.
’A lucky shot...’
Singer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
’Thank goodness for Nina Jacobs’s lucky shot. Otherwise, my old life would have ended right here.’
Anselm Hughes couldn’t hear their conversation. Though he was puzzled, the crisis wasn’t over yet. Many more Mutated Zombies were still attacking.
"That was amazing! You got it in one hit!"
Cecily Wells had gotten out of the car.
"It’s an advantage of the Earth Element Superpower. Besides, it was momentarily stuck in the window."
Nina Jacobs replied nonchalantly.
’So that’s how it was.’
Cecily Wells glanced ahead and added, "There are quite a few zombies. I’m going to the front to help out. You should be fine holding the rear, Captain Jacobs, right?"
"Mm."
Nina was more than happy for the peace and quiet.
For killing the Speed Element zombie just now, the system had already gifted her over eighty bottles of Healing Potions.
