Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 249: Level four Throat Locker

At this moment, the path to Cloud Peak was covered in zombies. Due to the slope, those defending the entrance saw a numbing scene.

Intel said that a small horde of zombies was moving here, and around 20 thousand of them were there.

But that was just intel and not something they had personally witnessed. When they suddenly saw this group of monsters that would threaten their lives appear right before them, their mood was unimaginable.

“There are more people here than in Oakland Stadium.”

A survivor who had once stayed in America saw the number of zombies and muttered.

“Oakland Stadium can seat 19 thousand people, a little less than this wave.” Liu Zhenghong wore a white cloak, but it was much cleaner this time. Even her face was cleaned. She looked refreshed, and her hands were still in her pockets.

But her competitive spirit was still there. She heard people discussing on the frontlines, so she wanted to retort.

That survivor turned his head and noticed that it was the doctor invited by Boss Ye, so he didn’t make a sound. But in his heart, he grumbled that he was just a few thousand off.

“But there is a smaller number of them, just 10 thousand.”

Hearing Liu Zhenghong says that everyone was pumped up. They were all afraid. They headed out to hunt before, but they faced hundreds of a thousand zombies at most. That was enough to make them flee, but they had to fight this group head-on. Ordinary people would be terrified and nervous.

“So we will win?”

That person’s eyes lit up.

Liu Zhenghong nodded but then shook her head, “Normally, it would be like that, but I have to take a look.”

“Sister Liu, Zhongming called you.”

Xia Lei interrupted and dragged Liu Zhenghong over to Ye Zhongming. She ignored some minor details as this was a crucial moment.

When they were near, Liu Zhenghong heard some casualty numbers. For example, over a hundred ordinary people died, and 30 evolved were gone. These were mainly caused by the level two and three zombies on the third defense line.

“Based on the timing, it should be right on cue?” Ye Zhongmming turned and asked Liu Zhenghong.

“Just nice.”

“Then begin.”

No one could understand what the two mentioned, but they didn’t ask. This doctor closed her eyes and opened her hands. She smiled.

In the next moment, an eye appeared on her forehead. At first, it was closed, with just a tiny gap. Light shone out from there, and she looked toward the zombie horde.

She had Heaven Vision, so she was currently using Supervision. It allowed her to look far away without obstructions. Maybe she didn’t know, but she had gotten such a great job. Ye Zhongming knew that the other job skills were all very strong. Only one or two could be shown in battle; most were support type. But on a scientist, that was just perfect…

But no matter which skill, the cooldown was long. This first skill was the same. The cooldown was just up after she had used it that day at the warehouse.

The horde started squeezing the heavy trucks in front of them to the sides, and the path toward the entrance was slowly revealed.

Special zombies started to appear. Big ones, small ones, different colored ones. Each of them was very dangerous, and each of them were killers.

“White, 367.”

Liu Zhenghong’s mouth moved. Her voice was soft, but everyone could hear it. At the same time, their hearts sank.

White represented level two evolved. Using her Supervision, she was able to count them accurately.

They killed many before this, but there were still over 300.

Only Ye Zhongming was mentally prepared. He knew this was the evolution wave, and level two monsters were increasing. Out of the 20 thousand of them, to have only 400 level-two zombies was already entirely merciful.

“42 black.”

This time even Ye Zhongming was shocked.

They had seen less than ten level-three zombies before and thought there would be 20 at most. But now there were 42 of them.

The expressions of the core members around weren’t good.

“One green.”

After she finished, Liu Zhenghong opened her eyes and saw everyone’s ashen white faces.

Level 4.

A level 4 zombie appeared.

Moreover, it was hidden in the zombie horde. If not for Liu Zhenghong’s Supervision, they would only see this level four zombie at the crucial moment of the battle.

“I saw the pictures and am curious how you know about their types but let’s talk about it in the future. I want to tell everyone that based on your photos, this level-four zombie is a Throat Locker.

Throat Locker is a small zombie with two long tentacles growing out of its head. The two tentacles were very nimble but strong. When fighting, it would circle its head and find a chance to wrap around enemies' necks. Weaker ones would get snapped, while the stronger ones would stop breathing.

Apart from this signature skill, its talent skills were strong too. Its body would turn gold, and its defense would increase to massive levels until it was on the level of a level five lifeform.

This didn’t include the other talent skills that might appear as it evolved.

So this Throat Locker was not only a level four mutated zombie, it was also one of the strongest level four zombies.

“I wondered how this zombie horde could move from Ying City here. Its core is so strong, and a level-four zombie leads it!”

When this horde appeared, Le Dayuan was quite interested in their movement. Although he wasn’t an expert in this area, he still collected some information. Ye Zhongming would also reveal some information to him. So this future crystal weapon inventor understood the most about zombie hordes. In the future, this position will belong to Liu Zhenghong.

“Nothing to say. Fight. Leave this level-four zombie to me and listen to my orders.” Ye Zhongming smiled and tapped Moon Edge.

The battle exploded right away.

These zombies weren’t regular zombies anymore. They sent the level-two zombies out. They tossed stones, abandoned cars, trees, etc, weapons at humans. Spike Demons, Saliva Zombies, etc., launched their attacks.

Survivors forgot how to conserve bullets. They launched a metal net from Cloud Peak.

The level two zombies tanked a few bullets but were still alive. Maybe one ammo case couldn’t kill them. But firepower covered them. Those leading zombies took hundreds of shots, and some were armor-piercing bullets. Although they couldn’t ensure each would hit the head, those dealt colossal damage.

Ten meters and those level two zombies at the front were ripped into pieces.

The crowd cheered, but other level-two zombies replaced them in a second.

These fellows were already level two, and they were intelligent. They forgot what fear was, and they charged toward the human camp.

“If we continue like this, we will finish the bullets.”

XIa Lei frowned. Her body paused with a rhythm. Each pause would mean she fired an armor-piercing bullet.

This was the rights of Little Tiger, Mo Ye, and her. Only the three of them and Ye Zhongming had armor-piercing bullets. The others weren’t on the same level as them.

“Forget it!” Ye Zhongming shouted. His sniper killed a Black Ape Zombie. Although this fellow was only two meters tall, its arm was long. It tossed two huge stones and a level-two zombie, causing some casualties.

The black head exploded through the scope, and Ye Zhongming searched for his next target.

At that moment, the firepower at the side got more intense. He glanced and saw that Sha Sha’s team had rushed over. A dozen evolved sliced at many unprepared zombies and helped reduce the pressure there.

But Ye Zhongming wasn’t happy. His expression changed too. He saw Xia Bai holding Yellow Ball, who wasn’t moving.

“What happened?!” Ye Zhongming picked it up and wanted to check its injuries. But before he did everything, before Xia Bai could explain, there was some movement in the defense line.

Ye Zhongming saw the zombie horde split to the sides, and a level three zombie appeared. Its outer appearance didn’t look very different. Apart from its grey skin and red eyes, one could only see its level through its demon crystal.

But this level three zombie that looked like a human didn’t have hands. Two thick iron chains stretched out from its wrists. At the end of the chains were four level two mutated dogs.
