Chapter 240 Fourth Tier, Superpowered Zombie?

The relief on the third iron door was a mass of tangled chains.

When the iron door fully opened,

"Clang— Clang— Clang—"

The sound of metal chains dragging across the ground rang out.

The sound approached from the distance.

Then,

A figure crawled out from the darkness.

It was much as Chen Yu had speculated.

Its form vaguely resembled a human silhouette, but its entire body was wrapped in layers of dark brown iron chains, the ends of the links buried in its flesh, twitching slightly with its movements.

Most importantly, it crawled very quickly.

However, it stopped five meters away from Chen Yu and began to circle him.

"Clang, clang!!!"

In the next moment, iron chains shot out from all around its body simultaneously!

One chain wound toward Chen Yu's ankle from the left, one wrapped toward his waist from the right, and one blocked his left arm from above—three directions, arriving almost at the same time!!!

Chen Yu reacted even faster, his 33 points of Agility coming into play; using his left foot as a pivot, he twisted his body to the right!

The three iron chains grazed the edge of his clothes as they flew past!

At the same time,

Chen Yu's right hand shot out, grabbing one of the iron chains and tightening his grip!

[The fourth door is about to open: 18... 17... 16...]

Chen Yu didn't have time to worry about that;

He simply gave a forceful yank!

Snap—!!!

The iron chain snapped at the sound!

The moment the links shattered, the Chain Monster's body was carried several meters to the side by the force, but it adjusted its posture mid-air and landed steadily on all fours!

"Clang!!!"

"Clang!!!"

Several more iron chains flew toward him!

Chen Yu frowned; he hadn't expected that having too much strength would actually limit him.

This time,

He neither dodged nor evaded: "Since one chain can't take it, then I'll just wrap a few more..."

In a split second, Chen Yu grabbed the third and fourth chains in quick succession.

He wrapped the four iron chains around his right forearm,

And then yanked back violently!!!

The Chain Monster was dragged forward by the force!

It instinctively tried to pull the chains back!

But Chen Yu certainly wouldn't give it the chance; using himself as the center, he swung with all his might!

Ferocious, massive strength!!!

Whoosh—!!!

The Chain Monster's body was uprooted from the ground!!!

It tried to adjust its posture in the air, but without a fulcrum, it had nowhere to leverage its strength!

Chen Yu didn't stop, immediately starting to swing his arm in one circle, then another, and another!

After the third rotation, Chen Yu slammed it down fiercely!!!

Boom—!!!

A huge cloud of dust rose as the Chain Monster was slammed flat on its back!

However...

Creak—

The fourth iron door opened!

Yes,

There was no need for the previous monster to die first;

Whenever the next monster was scheduled to appear, it would appear!

The clock was always ticking...

Chen Yu wasn't surprised.

After all, this mission was based on survival time. If everyone just played around and stalled with the first zombie, the mission would never progress.

With the current mode, the longer it dragged on, the higher the difficulty would become.

After all, the difficulty of dealing with one monster versus two wasn't just a simple 1+1 relationship!

When it truly reached the later stages and monsters appeared one after another,

Would there really be time to press [Exit]?

Actually, there would be!

Others might not have it, but Chen Yu did!

At worst, after pressing [Exit], he could just use a golden body card to avoid damage and wait to clear the stage!

"Clatter!"

The chains clattered in his ears; the Chain Monster was still struggling!

Seeing that the fourth door had already opened,

Chen Yu tightened the chains another loop around his arm, then swung them in a wide arc and hurled them toward the fourth iron door!

Whir—

The Chain Monster's body drew an arc in the air and crashed into the doorway of the fourth iron door!

Immediately after, from the fourth inner door,

A humanoid creature slowly walked out, wearing tattered burlap clothes.

Furthermore, its skin was grayish-white and its eyes were cloudy.

These were the characteristics of a zombie.

A normal zombie wouldn't have been worth Chen Yu's attention, but the moment this fellow appeared,

Chen Yu's expression froze.

Because the moment it stepped out of the iron door, a layer of white frost rapidly condensed on the ground.

"An Ability Zombie?"

Chen Yu frowned.

In his previous life, he hadn't heard of Ability Zombies until after the eighth station.

To be able to birth an ability,

It had to be at least Tier 4 or higher.

In this life, Chen Yu hadn't even seen a Tier 2 zombie yet, and they were sending a Tier 4 straight to him?

According to his memories from his previous life, these Tier 4 and above Ability Zombies were extremely terrifying;

Every time they appeared, they served as the final boss of a station.

How could it be that in this first trial,

An Ability Zombie had appeared?

And at the fourth door, no less?

Wasn't this just forcing everyone to quit?

Chen Yu kicked the Water Bubble to the edge of the arena!

"Stay back..."

"Gulu!!"

Although the Water Bubble protested, it obediently stood guard in the distance!

Chen Yu didn't want the Water Bubble to participate in a battle of this level...

Within his field of vision—

The Ability Zombie held the iron chains; imitating Chen Yu, it swung them out violently!

The Chain Monster was lifted by this force,

And three iron chains erupted in mid-air,

Attacking along the ground from the left!

Following closely behind, the Ability Zombie fired over a dozen Ice Spikes!

Chen Yu's lip twitched.

There was actually coordination between the two monsters?

The Chain Monster and the Ice Spikes were responsible for blocking his path, attempting to force him toward the Ability Zombie,

While the Ability Zombie condensed a thick, long Ice Spear in its hands, taking a throwing stance!!!

This was clearly an attempt to impale him to death!

Chen Yu saw through their intentions and didn't panic at all, pretending to move in the direction the chains were forcing him!

The Ice Spear left its hand!!!—

Chen Yu suddenly grabbed the iron chain and gave it a massive yank!

The low-intelligence Chain Monster never expected this move and couldn't withstand such immense force, being dragged over instantly!

"Puchi!"

The Ice Spear pierced through, and the Chain Monster died instantly!

Chen Yu took a moment to drain it dry!

One more free attribute point added!

[Third Door: Defeat Complete]

[Current Survival Time: 1 minute 59 seconds]

Even though the monsters came out of adjacent doors,

The strength of the two monsters was like night and day!

Every new monster's strength seemed to far exceed the previous one!

In this situation,

Even killing too slowly would become a catalyst for death!

[The fifth door is about to open: 8... 7... 6...]

The Ability Zombie hadn't been dealt with yet, and the fifth door was about to open!

Chen Yu took a deep breath; he had to take the initiative!

The Boning Knife reappeared in his hand,

He took a step forward, his Agility + constitution exploding at full power, as the Boning Knife drew a cold white arc!

It stabbed straight toward the Ability Zombie's throat!

Where the blade passed, the ice crystals condensing in the air were split apart by the wind of his strike!

"Die!"

"Ding!"

At the same time, a massive Ice Spike condensed in the Ability Zombie's hand!

The weapons collided, and Chen Yu's Boning Knife almost chipped!

The gap was too large!

This was a pure disparity in weaponry!

He had a steel Boning Knife, while the opponent had the elemental Ice Blade of a Tier 4 or higher zombie!

Chen Yu didn't hesitate; the demon-slaying gloves suddenly reached out, insidiously grabbing the Ice Blade!

"Buzz!"

The Ice Blade evaporated instantly, without any warning!
