Whoosh!
Flash darted like a lightning bolt to 004’s bald head, raising its claw ready to gouge out the eyeball, its usual tactic, one swipe guaranteeing a squish.
Unfortunately, 004 wasn’t an ordinary zombie, and its handling of Flash was uniquely different. It didn’t use its long arms but instead headbutted toward a large stone lying on the field.
"Chirp!"
Flash, seeing the fast-approaching stubborn rock, got frightened, and with a quick twist, it fled. If it got hit, wouldn’t it be crushed into chips?
Who could withstand such a suicidal attack?
Boom.
004’s smooth forehead collided with the stone; its head remained unscathed while the stone shattered into pieces.
"Die!"
Zhang Su, seizing the moment when 004 collided with the stone, fiercely hurled the steel rod in his hand like a javelin!
Whoosh.
Immediately, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Zhang Su dashed forward and stopped less than two meters in front of 004. Simultaneously, he reached into his pocket and took out a palm-sized gun-shaped windproof lighter, while his other hand held a black crystal.
Clang, 004 swatted away the steel rod and was ready to deal with the little Skinny Monkey who charged in front of it. In its eyes, Zhang Su’s actions were absurd, incomprehensible.
Snap!
Strangely enough, the light snap of the lighter during the intense battle should have been silent, yet at this moment, it was exceptionally quiet, and the crowd charging toward 004 could all hear it.
Clearly, it was a gun-shaped lighter, but it was held like a real handgun, with the right hand gripping it and the left hand supporting below. But what was that black thing placed in front of the flame nozzle?
A flame suppressor?
No!
It’s a flame amplifier!
Whoosh!
Under the puzzled gazes of everyone, a flame several meters long burst forth from Zhang Su’s hand, its outer layer dark green, giving an eerie feeling, as if it came from hell, capable of burning everything in the world!
The crowd simultaneously halted their steps, the scorching heat rushing in, instantly twisting the air, looking toward 004, making its already deformed body seem even more bizarre.
Zhang Su’s expression, reflected in the firelight, appeared sinister, with the dark green flame column mirrored on his goggles. He wanted 004 dead; this violent madman was utterly beyond control!
The flame from the lighter was enhanced by the black crystal, yet the crystal itself remained unaffected, smooth as jade in his hand...
"Ow ow, squeak!"
felt an immense threat, a terrifying memory surfaced from within, its expression twisted, emitting strange cries!
Like a person desperately struggling in a raging fire, flailing limbs, it crazily jumped back and rolled, retreating over a hundred meters with incredible motions and speed, faster than when it charged!
Flash, perched on Shen Linrui’s head, startled, its two front teeth protruding outside, its expression dazed; it could confirm that the speed at which 004 fled was faster than itself!
???
The crowd exchanged glances.
What just happened?
"When did Brother Su learn magic!?"
"Bullshit, that’s obviously a street trick, fire-blowing, haven’t seen it before?"
"All of you shut up, it’s a life-and-death battle, daring to be distracted?"
The fierce flame didn’t directly kill 004; it fled lively, showing the terror of its power, and the crowd didn’t dare to be careless.
The spectators in the rear also gathered closer; indeed, there was some fear in their hearts, but more importantly, they didn’t want to disrupt, as the battle level was too high, they truly didn’t qualify to participate...
"What was that just now?"
Ju Mumio looked at the lighter in Zhang Su’s hand with surprise and doubt, not believing that the small lighter in Zhang Su’s hand could emit such raging flames, contradicting physics.
"Didn’t I already tell you, Dr. Xie researched a way to efficiently utilize flame!"
Zhang Su snapped the lighter, the thumb-length windproof flame was very tiny.
If 004 hadn’t been scared away to a hundred meters away, the crowd would have thought they had misseen earlier.
"Brother, don’t fool us, it wasn’t that little flame just now!"
Zhao Dezhu, with a strange expression, pointed at the lighter.
"Watch again!"
No need to hide, Zhang Su moved the black crystal in front of the flame nozzle, instantly a startling flame sprayed out, this time its color was different again, even darker than before.
Everyone felt the scorching airflow hitting their faces, as if breathing in a new world’s air; could such a scene still exist on Earth?
"Efficient, damn, this efficiency is too high... Brother Su, you understand the art of language!"
Wang Xin covered his face, smiling bitterly.
Even though the flame, enhanced by the black crystal, couldn’t match the Fire-breathing Zombie, it was still terrifying, over four meters long, forming a heatwave instantly, imagining what the burned outcome would be.
The key point is the flexibility, burning at will, more impressive than walking flamethrower soldiers!
Thud thud thud.
"Husband, Xiaoshuai and Dakun have been settled, so what do we do now, pursue the victory or wait for it to come and defend reactively?"
Zheng Xinyu and several members securing the wounded returned to the crowd, along with Program One.
"Its power is much weaker than the night it wiped out the Cyan Dragon Corps, it’s a great opportunity to deal with it, it mustn’t be missed!"
Zhang Su didn’t say whether to advance or retreat, nor whether to kill or not, because he still harbored the thought of capturing it...
As a leader, he shouldn’t selfishly consider only his gains or losses, but if he could obtain the S-level challenge reward, wouldn’t it also be a help to the camp?
The two sides formed a standoff again...
was obviously greatly frightened, pacing back and forth a hundred meters away, its body bent, very tense, with elongated eyes staring fixedly at Zhang Su.
Zhang Su’s gaze was similarly locked on 004, one man and one corpse were separated by over a hundred meters, yet tension was palpable.
"Brother Su, should I and Sister Hui carry your weapon and go up to catch it off guard?"
Liu Tianji volunteered, having discussed a plan on the way, letting Churchill combo try to approach 004 and then waiting for the chance to strike.
Upon hearing Liu Tianji’s words, Zhang Su decisively shook his head: "That plan won’t work at all, 004’s intelligence is obviously much higher than ordinary zombies; before you get close, it’ll throw stones to smash you!"
"Ow ow..."
At this moment, Program One spoke from behind the crowd.
Many turned to look; if there was any reliable way to easily win the fight, Sister Cheng Xu would undoubtedly be one.
"Cheng Xu, I haven’t had time to ask, what on earth happened just now?"
Zhang Su turned to look at Program One, but the lighter in his hand intermittently ignited to intimidate 004 in the distance, preventing it from impulsive actions.
"Ah ah, ow ow ah..."
Program pointed at 004, then pointed at its own head, then made a shaking head gesture.
"What do you mean... Are you saying it’s not like 003, not low intellect, strong brainwave, like the Fire-breathing Zombie, causing your head to feel dazed?"
Combining with Program One’s previous failure, Zhang Su made a reasonable guess.
"Ow ow!" Program shook its head, slightly anxious, pointing at 004 again, then gesturing a series.
Zhou Haotian furrowed his brow slightly, brightening his eyes: "Brother Su, I feel like Sister Cheng Xu is trying to say she has hope to take down 004, wanting to try again?"
"Ow!"
Program nodded, giving Zhou Haotian an awkward thumbs-up.
