6: Chapter 6 He ran, it chased, it couldn't escape.

Shhh-shhh-shhh-shhh-shhh— The Metal Storm, firing five hundred rounds per second, poured mercilessly toward the Bone-Armored Zombie King, which resembled a mountain of flesh.

However, a scene occurred that made Lu Yuan's pupils shrink violently.

Those terrifying bullets, which could instantly vaporize ordinary mutated zombies, struck the gray-white bone armor on the surface of the Bone-Armored Zombie King, yet only splashed up a dense series of sparks!

The bullets were all deflected, and not even a single obvious crack was left behind!

"Roar!"

The Bone-Armored Zombie King let out a furious roar, completely ignoring the rain of metal pouring down on it, and violently strode forward with its thick legs, charging like a heavy bulldozer.

Its speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, it spanned a distance of several hundred meters and charged directly in front of the Red Wolf Tank.

A bone-armored fist, larger than a millstone, brought with it a terrifying whistle that tore through the air, slamming heavily into the front armor of the tank.

Boom!

A deafening metallic explosion echoed across the sky.

The 55-ton steel behemoth was actually knocked so hard by this punch that its entire front end tilted upward, and its tracks screeched harshly against the ground.

Inside the cockpit, blinding red lights flashed frantically.

"Ding! Warning! Front armor has sustained a devastating blow!"

"Vehicle integrity damaged by 50%!"

Looking at the vehicle status on the light screen that had instantly turned red, Lu Yuan was startled and gasped.

Good grief!

This was a heavy tank weighing 55 tons!

It took just one punch, and half the vehicle was effectively totaled?

If it got hit by this monster one more time, this iron turtle would definitely fall apart on the spot, and he would be torn into a pulp of flesh!

Lu Yuan's forehead was beaded with cold sweat, and he no longer dared to be the least bit arrogant.

"Want to dismantle my vehicle? Keep dreaming!"

He slammed his foot down on the accelerator, shifted directly into the highest reverse gear, and controlled the tank to retreat frantically.

At the same time, his hands operated rapidly on the fire control panel, instantly rotating the main gun, which had originally been facing backward as a thruster, by one hundred and eighty degrees!

The heavy turret emitted a trembling mechanical sound.

The thick air-compression cannon, with its pitch-black muzzle, was aimed directly and firmly at the berserk Bone-Armored Zombie King.

"Get lost!"

Fire!

Hum— Boom!

Transparent air ripples were compressed to the extreme inside the cannon barrel, then released violently like a volcanic eruption!

A terrifying shockwave, visible to the naked eye, slammed solidly into the massive body of the Bone-Armored Zombie King.

Even a Zombie King with a body like a mountain of flesh had no power to resist in the face of this pure physical shockwave; it was blasted off its feet and sent flying backward dozens of meters!

Meanwhile, the absurdly extreme recoil slammed heavily against the tank's chassis through the turret.

Relying on this massive reactive force and the power of the reverse gear, the Red Wolf Tank instantly retreated frantically for over a hundred meters, completely opening up a safe distance.

Lu Yuan stared intently at the periscope.

Although the impact of the air-compression cannon was immense, its destructive power was pitifully small; it still could not tear through that layer of hard bone armor and could not fundamentally harm the Zombie King at all.

Sure enough, after smashing a large crater into the ground, the Bone-Armored Zombie King immediately climbed up as if nothing had happened, its scarlet eyes staring fixedly at the tank, preparing to launch another charge.

"So you're thick-skinned, are you? Let's see how many hits you can take!"

A glint of ruthlessness flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes as he immediately changed tactics.

He controlled the Metal Storm on the roof of the vehicle, locking the target firmly onto the Zombie King's head.

At the same time, he kept his foot pressed firmly on the reverse accelerator, maintaining the tank's retreat.

The main gun entered rapid charging mode again, precisely locking onto the mountain of flesh charging toward him.

It was getting closer!

Two hundred meters!

One hundred meters!

Fifty meters!

Ten meters!

Just as the Bone-Armored Zombie King charged in front of the vehicle with terrifying pressure, at the very moment its massive fist was about to swing down,

"Get lost again!"

The main gun fired again!

Boom!

The violent air shockwave once again sent the Zombie King flying.

The Red Wolf Tank retreated rapidly, utilizing the recoil once more.

In this manner, on the road filled with zombies, the two sides maintained distance in an extremely bizarre way.

Lu Yuan observed the state of the Zombie King as it landed through the periscope.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Under the continuous, frantic baptism of the Metal Storm, a tiny, hairline crack had appeared on the hardest piece of bone armor on the Zombie King's head!

No matter how abnormal the defense of this bone armor was, it absolutely could not withstand continuous, fixed-point strikes of five hundred bullets per second; dripping water can wear away stone, let alone an endless torrent of metal!

"There's a chance!"

A wild grin curled the corners of Lu Yuan's mouth.

Thus, on this apocalyptic road, an extremely miraculous and comical scene unfolded.

The Bone-Armored Zombie King charged in a rage, but before its fist could land, it was ruthlessly blasted away by the main gun.

The tank reversed frantically, the Zombie King climbed up and chased again, only to be blasted away again.

He ran, it chased, and it could not escape!

This regional BOSS, which would be difficult to confront even if all the players on the server gathered, was now being toyed with in the palm of Lu Yuan's hand through this extremely rogue hit-and-run tactic.

Boom!

The third time!

Boom!

The fifth time!

When the main gun blasted the Zombie King into mid-air for the sixth time.

Crack—

An extremely crisp sound, like glass shattering, clearly reached Lu Yuan's ears.

The heavy layer of exoskeleton armor on the Zombie King's head finally could not withstand the continuous, violent vibrations and completely shattered, exposing the scarlet, fragile, and rotting flesh inside!

"Now is the time!"

Lu Yuan's eyes were blood-red, and his right hand slammed down on the firing key for the secondary weapon.

"Five hundred rounds per second, take it all!"

Shhh-shhh-shhh-shhh-shhh— The Metal Storm, having been held back for so long, instantly let out a roar like the Grim Reaper.

The dense metal barrage turned into a dark red whip of fire, pouring into the Zombie King's skull without hindrance through the gap in the broken bone armor.

Splat—

There was no suspense.

The massive head was instantly churned into a pile of mush by thousands of bullets, exploding in mid-air like a watermelon being crushed!

The massive headless corpse collapsed with a boom, slamming heavily onto the road and kicking up dust that filled the sky.

The next second.

A golden light, a hundred times more brilliant than any before, shot up into the sky from the corpse of the Bone-Armored Zombie King.

Immediately afterward, that emotionless, mechanical voice echoed across the sky of the entire C-72 region again!

[Region-wide Announcement!]

[Congratulations to player Red Wolf for successfully achieving the first kill of the regional BOSS — Bone-Armored Zombie King!]

[Due to the cross-level kill, this player will receive an Epic-tier first kill reward!]

[All players will receive a regional buff: Stamina recovery speed increased by 10%!]

At this moment.

The entire regional channel was first in dead silence, then completely plunged into uncontrollable fervor.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"

"I'm not cultured, so I'll just use 'holy crap' to cover it all! The big shot is awesome!"

"He just said he was going to deal with the zombie horde, and a moment later he directly insta-killed the regional BOSS?! What kind of god-tier combat power is this!"

"666666! Tank big shot, I bow to you!"

"I originally thought I was a goner, but after hearing this announcement, I was so damn excited I started crying!"

"Following the big shot means having meat to eat! This stamina recovery buff is too good!"

Looking at the screen filled with "666" and the frantic worship, Lu Yuan let out a long breath of stale air, his tense nerves finally relaxing slightly.

He did not rush to count the tempting Epic-tier rewards.

Instead, he turned the tracks, aiming the front of the tank back toward the horde of ordinary zombies that had become somewhat chaotic after losing their leader.

"The main event is over."

Lu Yuan stretched his neck, his eyes turning cold and sharp once again.

"Next, it's time to continue clearing the field."
