The recent massive explosion, the intense firelight had washed over their part of the street, and another low-rise building even caught fire directly.
In the building where Bai Xinran and the others were located, people were shouting to clear out the corpses. The explosion also claimed the lives of some.
Through the window, the first thing Bai Xinran saw was the building that had been cut into two halves by the dark shadow’s tentacles. The entire building was now engulfed in flames, with sparks growing and making their rampant way up the building.
Looking down, Bai Xinran could see slender bodies of the silver armored zombies crawling in quadruped fashion on the Qulong River bank streets on their side. The zombies appeared from an unknown place. Their numbers were not that many, but there were at least hundreds of them!
Under the sunlight, their silver armor with cracks shone with a toughness indicative gloss. They moved fast, swinging their sharp, cold-light emitting silver claws as if they were chasing something.
With each swipe of their claws, a clump of dark green flesh and blood would burst out of thin air; the zombies’ own flesh and blood.
The woman also looked over. The monsters on the street were invisible, but they allowed living beings to see them, and those who saw were killed by them. But why were these silver armored zombies, which were never seen before, attacking them?
Zombie fighting zombie, though it sounded marvelous, stirred up excitement in everyone. After all, they didn’t have to lift a finger. However, both the monsters and the unfamiliar silver armored zombies would attack humans when they saw them.
Some people who happened to be seen by the vicious silver armored zombies were torn into rotting flesh. On the other hand, the invisible monsters, chased by the silver armored zombies, even if seen by humans, had no time to harm them.
"What’s going on outside? Why are the zombies fighting spirits?"
In the residential building, separated from Qingli’s side by four or five buildings, a head stuck out. They were astonishedly watching this scene. The men and women around them were deeply interested. To these survivors, in this end-of-the-world boring days, a battle between one type of zombie against another was undoubtedly an exciting spectacle.
It was as if you were playing a game, and you couldn’t beat a boss. By sheer luck, you brought over another boss, and you just watched as the two bosses started fighting because they couldn’t stand each other.
However, the spectacle ended quickly when Qingli’s survivors and other onlookers realized a particularly bad thing.
Killer zombies needed a prerequisite to kill humans; they had to be seen by humans first. If you don’t look at them, you could linger around them without any problems.
However, these silver armored zombies were different. They would instinctively kill humans based on the need for food when they spotted survivors. It was like when humans were hungry, they would eat. These zombies, though, seemed to be in a constant state of hunger.
Every bit of energy they absorbed was used to fully reinforce the anti-life material in their bodies, ensuring that the anti-life materials will not leave the host’s body due to a lack of energy replenishment.
Although the silver armored zombies looked different from other zombies, their traits were the same as other normal zombies. When they smelled the scent of living beings, they would attack them first, unlike the killing zombies that required a prerequisite!
There was no reason for it!
Compared to eating a living being, killing these group of killing zombies seemed more like a task given to the silver armored zombies by some being.
Thus, when the young man in the building above had just finished speaking, a silver figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
This silver armored zombie was only millimeters away from his face. Seeing the ferocity in its black pupils, he was scared out of his wits. The men and women beside him were also so scared that their legs gave out.
The young man screamed and ran. Behind him, a fierce-looking man, obviously a new human, reacted quickly. He picked up a gun and shot at the silver armored zombie.
The bullet flew at high speed and hit the zombie’s face square-on. But instead of penetrating, the bullet ricocheted off with a "clang", denting the face slightly in the process.
The man was shocked, immediately realizing that this zombie was not ordinary. He then turned and ran, but it was too late. The silver armored zombie let out a horrifying shriek, then in a flash, jumped after him.
Continuous screams echoed from inside the building, chilling people to their bones. This situation was not unique to this place; similar episodes were occurring elsewhere on the street.
"Not good! The silver zombies are coming in!"
From the first floor of the building where Qiongli and others were located, the cries of the survivors could be heard, followed by a series of deafening gunshots - people had started shooting!
But the gunshots didn’t last long, and then a voice came over.
"Dead! Quickly block the entrance. Don’t let them come in."
"Damn it! What can we use to block it?"
"Move the cupboard over!"
"Wait... look at its head! It... it’s alive... "
"Damn it! What the... it’s alive!"
"Shooting it in the head doesn’t kill it! Quick... Ah!"
The cries of despair from the first floor sent chills down Qingli and Bai Xinran’s spines.
Qiongli touched her body; other than a knife given by a survivor, she had nothing else. She quickly closed the door, sucked in two deep breaths, then looked at Bai Xinran, saying, "Xinran, stop watching, come back."
Bai Xinran gave no response, her gaze fixed on one of the silver armored zombies on the street, in a trance.
The silver-armored zombies below all seemed the same, tall and thin with very long arms and legs. Survivors with guns came out from other buildings, their expressions tense; it was clear that zombies had invaded their homes.
They were torn, holding blindfolds in their hands, hesitating. Facing both silver-armored zombies and phantom zombies, they didn’t know whether to blindfold themselves or not. Blindfolding themselves in front of the silver zombies would mean certain death, and not blindfolding and seeing the phantom zombies still meant death!
But there were also survivors who bravely walked onto the street. It didn’t matter if they couldn’t see the phantom zombies. Before they could see the phantom zombies and once they saw a silver zombie, they would shoot. Coincidentally, a Level 1 silver zombie had its brain blown out with a single shot. After a while, its brain slowly regrew like liquid, and it rose from the ground.
Bai Xinran watched everything below, contemplating. It seemed that these zombies had not appeared before she met Li Henian. After meeting Li Henian, these zombies appeared, and that figure in the air just now, it was much like him...
If it wasn’t him, then who could be commanding these beings?
