Chapter 38 – Cannon Fodder Blocks the Way, the Strong Strike to Kill!

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

As the Level 2 Zombie that had just entered the Town Hospital left, all the Zombies in Chaihe Town began to move.

Countless Zombies crawled out from private homes, from underground passages, and even from the sewers.

On the orderly-laid roads of Chaihe Town, more and more Zombies emerged-like a huge net, slowly closing in around Wen Yu.

…

After walking several hundred meters, he didn't encounter a single Zombie.

Wen Yu carefully picked out the faint sounds in the air until a chaotic patter of footsteps slowly drew near. Judging by the sound, there were quite a few!

"This situation is really not good."

Wen Yu sighed, bringing One-Eye as he headed straight toward where the sound was coming from.

Zombies would often let out inexplicable howls for no apparent reason-but the Zombies in Chaihe Town didn't!

That was the difference between a Military and a mob, and the gap in combat power between the two was worlds apart!

Just as he turned a corner, Wen Yu ran head-on into an oncoming horde of Zombies.

The leading Zombie stared at Wen Yu in startled confusion, and the savage madness in its eyes surged forth.

Level 2!

The moment Wen Yu saw that Zombie, he had already sensed what made it different.

Its movements were coordinated, and you could clearly detect emotional fluctuations in its eyes.

The Zombie's claws raked over wildly, but Wen Yu caught them with his Steel Blade. At his side, One-Eye opened its jaws wide and clamped down directly on the Zombie's waist.

Only then did the Zombie's shriek ring out into the sky, and the Low-Level Zombies behind it pounced over, roaring as they came.

"One-Eye, kill it."

After giving the order, Wen Yu ignored the Level 2 Zombie and charged straight into the Low-Level Zombie horde.

The battle erupted at once in the narrow street.

If you looked down from above Chaihe Town, you would see that as Wen Yu clashed with this group of Zombies, the surrounding Zombies that hadn't yet reached the battlefield abruptly sped up, rushing straight toward the direction the howls came from.

And every leading Zombie silently slowed down, gradually melting into the Zombie crowd whose appearances differed little.

Level 2 Zombies had intelligence too!!

That was the most terrifying part.

One-Eye was tangling with the Level 2 Zombie, while on Wen Yu's side, he had already beheaded a large number of Low-Level Zombies.

Points kept rising, yet the calm in Wen Yu's eyes only grew more intense.

Greed was one of the main reasons people fell into the abyss.

With one kick, he blew apart a Level 1 Zombie. Seeing that One-Eye had already battered the Level 2 Zombie into an unrecognizable mess, Wen Yu stepped forward and finished off the Level 2 Zombie with a single slash as it hung in One-Eye's mouth.

"Move. We've been here too long!"

One-Eye whined twice, bit down on the Level 2 Zombie's corpse, and charged straight into the Zombie horde.

One-Eye couldn't bear to throw away food of the Level 2 Zombie's grade!

Its massive size and overwhelming strength meant every part of One-Eye's body was a weapon!

Only then did Wen Yu realize the battle setup was a bit off-having One-Eye deal with the Low-Level Zombies was clearly the better choice.

With One-Eye's charge, their forward speed abruptly increased. But the surrounding Zombies seemed to have received some kind of order, throwing themselves at them without regard for their lives-even if it meant using their bodies to hold Wen Yu back for less than a second, they would do it!

They succeeded. As the Zombies from behind arrived in an unending stream, Wen Yu and One-Eye were directly hemmed into a narrow little alley.

"Fight!"

With Wen Yu's shout, One-Eye immediately let go of the Level 2 Zombie corpse still clamped in its mouth, turned its head, and slammed straight into the Zombie horde.

It was like the scene of a traffic accident: the surging Zombie horde clearly stalled for a moment, and the few that got close to One-Eye were slammed straight into a bloody pulp.

One-Eye didn't have it easy either. Quantity had brought about a qualitative change; under the stacked impact of that enormous force, One-Eye's body was knocked straight back. His four legs skittered and trembled as he stumbled several steps before he finally regained his balance.

Seizing the gap created by the horde's hesitation, Wen Yu slashed like mad, whipping up a spray of blood and filth. Behind him, One-Eye caught his breath, then roared and rammed his way to Wen Yu's side.

Like a reef in raging surf, Wen Yu and One-Eye stood firm.

Within the Zombie horde, gaze after gaze-eyes that seemed to carry emotion-kept sweeping over Wen Yu and One-Eye. Then, as if locking onto a target, they slowly edged closer toward the slaughter at the front.

Wen Yu put his weight into it and chopped a Level 1 Zombie's skull apart. The Zombie's claws, though they raked across Wen Yu, couldn't tear through the E-Rank Protective Suit at all.

Swing. Hack. Then repeat.

It wasn't especially dangerous, but the stamina drain was no joke. If One-Eye hadn't been shouldering half the pressure, Wen Yu alone wouldn't have seen any chance of dealing with a horde this massive!

Until the Steel Blade in his hand jammed into the skull of a peak Level 1 Zombie.

A Steel Blade was ultimately a consumable. Even though the E-Rank Steel Blade's sharpness and toughness had improved tremendously, so long as it was a weapon, accidents were unavoidable-and cold steel was no exception.

Normally, this would've been a small matter. Wen Yu had seen it plenty of times: he simply kicked the Level 1 Zombie's body. The tremendous force sent it flying, and the Steel Blade naturally came free of its bind.

But in less than a second, certain Zombies seized the opening.

A figure suddenly burst out from the rear of the Zombie horde. It looked no different from an ordinary Zombie, but it was fast-extremely fast!

A flash of understanding crossed Wen Yu's eyes. In Chaihe Town, Level 2 Zombies had definitely already appeared. Just now there had only been one; now, another had shown itself.

Wen Yu whipped his Steel Blade toward the pouncing Zombie in a lightning cut. The Level 2 Zombie twisted its head, dodging the sharp Blade. Though one arm was severed, it still achieved its goal-its other hand clamped down hard on Wen Yu's right foot!!

A fierce sense of danger erupted. Wen Yu didn't have time to bother with the Zombie on the ground; he ducked fast, narrowly avoiding another Level 2 Zombie that shot right over his head.

But there were three streaks of wind!

"One-Eye!"

Wen Yu's furious shout rang out. One-Eye and Wen Yu-bound by the power of the Soul Contract-understood each other perfectly.

One-Eye charged straight into the other Level 2 Zombie, and his massive body shielded Wen Yu from the final strike-the last Level 2 Zombie sank its teeth viciously into One-Eye's neck.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo…"

A Level 2 Zombie's attack power was absolutely not something to take lightly. Bitten by a Level 2 Zombie, One-Eye had definitely taken serious damage!

By then, Wen Yu had already crushed the first Level 2 Zombie's skull.

He didn't spare a thought for One-Eye's cries behind him. In Wen Yu's logic, if it could still cry out, it meant it could still fight.

With One-Eye's ability, as long as it could still fight, the outcome was unknown!

Wen Yu swung his blade to meet the attack from the Level 2 Zombie that had just flown over his head, and he immediately drew on his full strength.

Physical Attribute under Swiftness + Fused State.

Against this Level 2 Primary Zombie, it took only five cuts.

Then he turned to look back.
