Chapter 39 – Forced Kill and Injury

Volume 2: Battlefield Between Two Worlds

One-Eye had basically already settled the fight.

The Level 2 Zombie that One-Eye had knocked flying had been torn to pieces. You have to understand, a Level 2 Zombie was already pretty decent rations for One-Eye.

For One-Eye, who was often starving, to give up the temptation of food and forcibly rip it apart like that-one could easily imagine just how furious One-Eye was right now.

The source of that fury was the Zombie hanging from One-Eye's neck.

This last Level 2 Zombie had its hands clamped tightly onto One-Eye and refused to let go, while its huge mouth gnawed crazily at One-Eye's body.

And One-Eye had already bitten into the Zombie's waist. With tremendous force, it bit the Zombie clean in half-but a Zombie's weakness was only its head.

So the mangled Zombie still hung on One-Eye, and One-Eye couldn't bite it anymore.

Seeing One-Eye attacking the nearby Low-Level Zombie in a frenzy, Wen Yu stepped forward and directly finished off the Level 2 Zombie hanging on One-Eye.

"Clear a path. We're heading out."

The injuries the Level 2 Zombie had inflicted on One-Eye were no small matter. With the Life-And-Death Combat Ability activated, One-Eye's Physical Attribute was already not much different from Wen Yu's in Combat State.

One-Eye panted harshly, the vicious light in the corner of its eye even sharper. Like a tank, it vented its anger straight onto the Low-Level Zombie.

With One-Eye's burst of power, the man and beast quickly charged through the Zombies' interception and ran straight toward the exit of Chaihe Town.

As the distance from the Zombie horde kept widening, the horde gradually stopped its pursuit.

"Huff."

Wen Yu let out a heavy breath. These Zombies weren't high quality, but there were simply far too many. Relying on himself alone, there was no way he could kill them all-he'd only exhaust himself to death.

"Let's go. Back to the Settlement first. Find more Class Holders, then come back and wipe them out!"

Seeing One-Eye trembling with anger, Wen Yu comforted it directly.

One-Eye hung its head. Being injured by a Level 2 Zombie just now had driven it into a feral rage. If Wen Yu weren't here, One-Eye would definitely have killed every single Zombie!

One-Eye wouldn't care at all about any trade-off between quality and quantity!

"Alright, stop thinking about it. This shit isn't over yet!"

Seeing the nine Zombies standing at the entrance to Chaihe Town not far away, Wen Yu patted One-Eye's big head and spoke directly.

And One-Eye, upon seeing the Zombies in the distance, immediately had a gleam in its eye.

"I have to let Boss know: Level 2 Zombies are trash in my eyes!"

…

In a small building not far away, Sun Ruixing and Li Dalong were hiding there cautiously, occasionally sizing up the nine Zombies at the entrance.

"Holy crap, Sun Ge, are those really Level 2 Zombies? That's way too many!"

Thinking back to how, if Sun Ruixing hadn't been sharp-eyed and spotted at a glance that these Zombies were different from the others, the two of them would probably have already become Zombie rations.

"They are. Their coordination is different from the ones we've seen before. Not sure whether they're Level 2, but that's the most likely possibility!"

Sun Ruixing swallowed as well.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Li Dalong couldn't help feeling a little pessimistic.

"Then what do we do?"

"Wait."

"Wait for what?"

Sun Ruixing glanced at the uneasy Li Dalong and explained, "Don't forget, Brother Wen Yu is still inside Chaihe Town. Sooner or later he'll come out. Which road do you think he'll take?"

Li Dalong fell silent for a moment, then hesitantly said, "Nine of them-Brother Wen Yu won't find that easy to deal with either, right?"

"Then what else can we do? The two of us can only pray that Brother Wen Yu can handle these Level 2 Zombies. Otherwise, we'll just have to take it one step at a time!"

Silence fell between the two of them.

Before long, the figures of a man and a dog appeared in the two men's line of sight.

"They're here."

Li Dalong said in a low voice.

When Sun Ruixing saw Wen Yu, he picked up his Steel Blade and Wooden Shield and headed downstairs.

"Sun-Ge, what are you going to do?"

Li Dalong asked in alarm.

Sun Ruixing didn't even turn his head, replying directly, "Help out. If I can take one off his hands, Brother Wen Yu's pressure will ease by a bit."

Hearing Sun Ruixing's words, Li Dalong immediately shrank his neck.

"Haha, I'm not going. I can't really help with anything!"

In terms of Physical Attribute alone, Li Dalong was even better than Sun Ruixing.

Unfortunately, people really are different!

"Suit yourself."

…

The fight erupted in an instant.

Humans and Zombie were natural mortal enemies; there was simply no possibility of communication!

As the nine Zombies on the other side sprang into motion, One-Eye charged in first.

But these Level 2 Zombie had Wen Yu as their target!

With them being the same level and their Physical Attribute not that far apart, One-Eye managed to hold back only two Zombies. The remaining seven struck at Wen Yu with claws and teeth; the attacks arrived in a heartbeat!

A flash of ruthlessness flickered through Wen Yu's eyes and vanished. Now was the time to be ruthless. Wen Yu wasn't only ruthless to others-he was even more ruthless to himself!

The first Zombie to make contact didn't manage to harm Wen Yu at all; Wen Yu lopped its head off with a single slash. The second Zombie was kicked away by Wen Yu.

Then, of the five incoming attacks, Wen Yu dodged one-while the remaining four landed squarely on him!

An E-Rank Protective Suit couldn't withstand such tremendous force. It was shredded into rags. Fortunately, thanks to Wen Yu's combat instincts, it didn't inflict crippling damage.

That was enough!

He drove the Steel Blade straight into the Zombie's mouth in front of him, then twisted the blade; the Zombie's head burst apart. With his left hand he clamped down hard on the head of a Zombie to his left, powered through his waist, and flung it toward One-Eye. One-Eye opened his mouth and crushed the Zombie's skull, while his body forcibly endured a claw swipe from another Zombie beside him.

In the blink of an eye, One-Eye suffered a light injury, Wen Yu was moderately wounded, and of the nine Level 2 Zombie, six remained.

No-five, because in the time it took to blink, One-Eye had pinned another Zombie under his paw, and his sharp claws gouged in and popped the Zombie's head.

Then the second clash began at once!

Before Wen Yu could even pull his Steel Blade back, a Zombie clamped down on his wrist. The force was so great it made his bones creak.

Wen Yu made a snap decision and abandoned the Steel Blade. He hauled that Zombie into his arms; ignoring the flesh torn from his hand, he wrenched the Zombie's neck until it snapped, then lunged forward with all his strength.

Behind him, the teeth of one Level 2 Zombie bit into empty air, but another's attack landed-its claws ripped open Wen Yu's thigh, exposing even the sinews inside.

Throwing aside the already-dead Zombie, Wen Yu sprang up on one leg and leaned against One-Eye not far away.

One-Eye had already finished his fight.

The facts proved it: in a one-on-one, a Level 2 Zombie truly couldn't stand against One-Eye!

One-Eye, his mouth smeared with filthy blood, turned his head and stared viciously at the remaining three Level 2 Zombie.

Then the third clash began-the clash that would decide the battle.

One-Eye charged straight into the three Zombies. With a single bite, he tore off one Zombie's head.

The remaining two Zombies tried to rush in again, but One-Eye blocked them head-on.

Just a few seconds later, the battle was over!
