Chapter 307: Radiation Zombie Turns Dance King Zombie Into A Beast
It’s now 6:55 PM, the sky is dim, shadows float in the turbid air, and they are surrounding the team.
There are some in front and behind, and on both sides of the road, endless darkness reveals various twisted and bizarre figures, waiting for panicked hunters to step into them.
There are zombies covered in pus sacs, and… what the heck is that?
“Urp”
A chilling sound suddenly appears on the silent road.
Suddenly, a mass of thick green liquid flies from the air. Yu Jiang hurriedly rolls, grabs the vertical ladder on one side of the RV with one hand, puts away the binoculars and switches to both hands, steadies her body, and steps on the next ladder.
Ordinary people facing danger can’t react in time with their brains and might just freeze in place. In doomsday, those who survive have bodies that respond to crises faster than their brains.
She flips down from the roof almost instantly, which also lets Yu Jiang dodge the attack.
Bang!
The liquid lands on the roof, immediately sizzling and emitting white smoke. In two seconds, the spot where the large mass of liquid fell seems to have been corroded and thinned significantly.
[Vehicle Wear and Tear -5%, contaminated with polluting rotten liquid, vehicle wear and tear will continue to decline within 2 hours, wear and tear value calculated based on vehicle defense, range 15%-40%, killing the monster immediately removes the wear and tear status.]
Yu Jiang’s vehicle has a shield, and this one hit takes out 10% shield and also 5% wear and tear.
If you can’t kill the monster, at least 15% will be lost in 2 hours minimum.
Her defense value is lower than the vehicle’s. If that thing had hit her head earlier, her scalp would have been corroded off, and even if healed, she’d be bald.
Yu Jiang feels a chill on her head and wants to put on a helmet, but she’s afraid a normal helmet won’t hold up. If it melts and sticks to her skin, it’ll be even worse, so she gives up.
Unknown what kind of mutated monster it is, spitting saliva like an alpaca, attack range at least 10 meters, and 4 meters even when the RV roof is not raised, taller than a normal residential floor.
It goes “hey tui” and that mass of liquid comes down in a standard parabolic arc.
Yu Jiang doesn’t dare poke her head out at all. The monster is still vomiting; the liquid it spits isn’t actually green, it’s glowing, so it looks green.
Over a hundred years ago in real time, when radium was abused, female factory workers suffered severe illnesses from long-term exposure, developing huge tumors. Even after death, their bones glowed, so they had to be isolated in lead coffins.
Unknown what this monster spits, but it’s definitely radioactive material with terrifying lethality.
Nuclear radiation—in reality, some people survived watching themselves rot bit by bit, skin necrotizing and falling off, until they were no longer human.
“Are you okay?” Shi Xu’s inquiry comes from the team.
“I’m fine, didn’t get hit.” Yu Jiang speaks calmly, while pressing close to the vehicle body, using cover to adjust her position and look in the rearview mirror.
The heavy truck RV has several rearview mirrors. Yu Jiang has just locked onto that thing’s figure when another “urp” sounds, smashing onto the glass.
“Oh my god! What the hell is this?” Lightning Mage King hugs his head and hides at the rear of the vehicle.
Pure Love Cockroach Spicy Spicy swiftly dons her pressure cooker helmet.
This is a purple quality item that can withstand some damage.
The merchant caravan side has even more complete protective gear and puts on whatever they have, but it’s just too rushed; otherwise, they would definitely wear full protective clothing.
That thing seems to spit endlessly, the liquid flying in parabolic arcs like heavenly maidens scattering flowers.
Everyone’s vehicle will take a few hits.
It’s not that they won’t get in the vehicles and drive forward to leave; there are monsters ahead too.
A vast horde, bodies emitting green glows, covered in pus sacs, some even with spines piercing through their backs and growing bone spurs.
The liquid in their bodies is corrosive; even rolling over them with a vehicle would scrap it.
These things barely look humanoid anymore; unknown if they can still be called zombies. There are two that vomit, and they seem like successfully evolved products.
No necks, replaced by rotten blood-colored, horrifying tentacles connecting to the heads.
These aren’t zombies you can kill with one or two slashes; they’re all walking pollutants.
Can’t go forward, can’t detour to both sides of the road, so have to fight.
In the current situation, if the team holds the front, they can’t hold the back; hard to seal off the camp.
The team’s highest output is melee combat, which has no advantage against these things.
One more hour until safe time; just need to hold out until then.
“Have your people stay inside the vehicles and hide. Yu Zhou, help heal.” Yu Jiang shouts to Wholesale Wang Defa.
These monsters are too dangerous; the caravan leader can’t fight them.
“Got it.” Wholesale Wang Defa responds.
She became caravan leader because her ability to judge the battlefield and command the team is top-notch; no matter how urgent, she won’t panic.
The merchant caravan’s defensive items activate, and several people quickly use their vehicles to set up a defense line, creating output conditions for the team.
The mutated zombie monster army charges over; exposed skulls emit fluorescence in the night, and a zombie by the RV reaches out to grab Yu Jiang’s foot.
She pushes hard with both hands and nimbly flips onto the roof, dodging the splashing rotten liquid.
At this moment, Shi Xu also sends a light screen scan of the monster info.
[Pollutant · Poison King Zombie: Don’t mess with me! I’m full of radioactive material! Hey, tui!]
That’s very toxic.
These monsters’ trouble isn’t their attack power or agility far exceeding normal zombies; it’s that their bodies are filled with polluting rotten liquid.
Clearly higher level than the zombies and mutated creatures encountered before. Explosion zombies also have rotten liquid inside, but move much slower; these can even use hands and feet to swiftly climb onto vehicles.
Strawberry Candy stands on the roof, swinging the baseball bat, already knocking two away.
“Unbelievable, it still hasn’t finished spitting?!” Lightning Mage King just finishes speaking and casts a skill.
Whatever Poison King Zombie, two electric shocks make it behave.
Before he discharges, thick rotten, green-glowing liquid smashes down; his pink cat car is corroded and discolored in a patch.
He’s about to move to the other side when he turns and sees a zombie with even exposed bones glowing coming close; bright fluorescence fills his view, startling him.
Anyone who knows how terrifying clearing radioactive material is will be afraid upon seeing this thing.
“Holy shit!!”
Lightning Mage King reflexively raises the pig herder, pinning the glowing-jaw zombie, then dodges to avoid another glowing zombie lunging from the side.
Radioactive material causes teeth to fall out and bones to necrotize; these zombies have evolved new teeth that also glow green.
Getting bitten once—dare not imagine the outcome.
Normal monsters, Shi Xu alone can hold one direction; radiation zombies, no.
Too many in quantity; in combat, can’t completely avoid rotten liquid splashes. This is also a debuff continuous damage, and 100% hit rate.
With a healer to purify and heal, no big issues, but getting it on the body still causes damage and pain.
Yu Jiang won’t let a teammate tank alone just because they won’t die.
