230: White zombie! Attack!

What followed was a one-sided slaughter.

"Ah!"

Ten minutes later, a girl in the forest ran forward like a madwoman, every breath tasting of bloody foam.

Just one word: run!

Her friends' screams still echoed in her ears, but she didn't dare to look back.

To look back was to die.

Just as her strength gave out, her foot stumbled, and she was about to fall.

"Bang!"

A muffled gunshot ripped through the dead silence of the night.

It wasn't an ordinary gunshot; the sound was more like a small grenade.

The girl instinctively looked back.

She saw "Li Xue," who had been chasing her, her once beautiful head now violently thrown back, half her face blown off, revealing stark white bones and rotting flesh.

It let out a roar, turned, and charged towards the depths of the forest from where the bullet had come.

"All units, attention! Target sighted! Repeat, target sighted!"

"Open fire! Free fire!"

Commands filled with professional competence rang through the forest.

Followed by dense gunfire.

Da da da da!

Countless tongues of fire wove into a deadly net in the darkness, completely engulfing the zombie.

Seven or eight soldiers, dressed in camouflage combat uniforms and armed with various advanced weapons, emerged from the forest, coordinating seamlessly to suppress the zombie with their firepower.

The bullets, powerful enough to tear through steel plates, only caused sparks to fly when they hit the zombie's body.

"Damn it!" a soldier cursed, changing to a new magazine.

"Conventional weapons ineffective! Use special ammunition! Repeat, use special ammunition!"

The team leader, a tall, heroic woman, calmly issued commands into her headset.

"Team B, draw its attention! Team A, prepare to switch to 'Purifier' Round Three!"

"Understood!"

The battle instantly escalated to a fever pitch.

The zombie, relying on its steel-like body, actually charged through the hail of bullets towards the special forces team.

A soldier responsible for drawing fire, unable to dodge in time, was grabbed by the arm!

"Ah—!"

A bloodcurdling scream.

The soldier's arm was directly torn off.

"Little Wang!"

"Team A! Now!"

"Bang!"

Another muffled gunshot.

Only this time, the bullet's contrail carried an eerie, glowing blue light.

The specially made chemical warhead struck the head of the zombie Li Xue.

Immediately after, the zombie's entire head, like corroded decaying wood, exploded with a "bang."

Green zombie blood splattered everywhere.

The headless corpse swayed twice on the spot, then finally fell to the ground with an unwilling "thud."

"Hoo…"

The female team leader glanced at Little Wang, her silent teammate lying in a pool of blood, a flicker of grief in her eyes.

"Captain, it's done," a team member approached.

"Mm," the female team leader nodded, reporting into her headset again, "Headquarters, target eliminated. We... lost one man. Request personnel to come and collect the sample."

Then she turned her gaze to the terrified survivor girl.

"Are you alright? Are you injured?"

"I... I'm fine," the girl's voice trembled, then she seemed to remember something, her face showing urgency, "I... I have friends! They're still at the campsite! Please, you have to save them!"

The female team leader's heart tightened at her words.

"Were your friends... bitten by that thing? Or scratched?"

"I... I don't know," the girl felt a little flustered under her gaze, instinctively shaking her head, "Just now... it was too chaotic, I only cared about running myself, I didn't see anything clearly..."

Her friends were all dead, she didn't even know.

The female team leader's heart instantly sank to the bottom.

She sharply turned her head, sternly barking at the few team members who were still examining the zombie's corpse:

"Everyone! Level one combat readiness!"

No sooner had she spoken.

"Shh... shasha..."

The sound of footsteps rustling fallen leaves came from the bushes.

Three figures emerged from the dark forest.

One girl, two boys.

They were the "friends" the survivor mentioned, still at the campsite.

Only now, all three of their faces were blank and lifeless.

"Open fire!"

Da da da da!

A hail of bullets poured out again.

But this time, these three zombies were much more troublesome than the previous Li Xue!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Two more team members; one was pierced through the chest by a zombie's sharp claws, and another was violently twisted until his neck broke!

"Captain!"

The female team leader's heart sank to the bottom.

"Retreat! Everyone, cover each other, retreat!"

"Roar—!"

A roar filled with endless brutality exploded from behind them!

The sound made everyone present feel a surge of fear.

Everyone turned around.

They saw a burly zombie, dressed in a tattered special combat uniform, appear behind them at some unknown moment!

The terrifying aura emanating from its body was more than ten times more terrifying than the combined aura of the previous four zombies (Purple Zombies)!

"Captain Wang... Captain Wang..." a team member looked at the zombie, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with grief.

"It's... it's Captain Wang!"

That zombie was none other than the captain of the first special forces team that had gone missing!

He had already consumed enough fresh blood, evolving from the lowest level Purple Zombie into... a White Zombie!

"Quick, retreat!"

In the ensuing battle, one after another, team members died tragically under the White Zombie's sharp claws.

Ultimately, the entire special forces team, along with the newly turned zombies, were all torn to shreds by the White Zombie!

On the scene, only the female team leader and the screaming survivor girl remained.

The White Zombie closed in on the two desperate individuals.

Just at this critical moment.

"Whoosh—!"

An extremely brilliant sword light flashed through the night sky!

"Pfft!"

A soft sound.

The White Zombie's massive head flew into the air!

Zombie blood splattered everywhere.

Immediately after, before the headless corpse could fall.

"Whoosh—"

A wisp of golden flame appeared out of thin air, landing on the corpse and instantly incinerating it completely.

A calm voice drifted from the depths of the forest, echoing throughout the entire mountain.

"Retreat, this matter is under my Dao."

The female team leader and the survivor's eyes were filled with disbelief!

At the same time, this miraculous scene, through the real-time recorder already activated on the female team leader's chest, was transmitted back to the capital city, frame by frame.

Inside the Council Chamber, the eight elders who controlled the lifeline of the entire Great Xia, watching the incredible images on the screen, all stood up!
