“Run!”
Without any hesitation, Wang Tao turned his head and ran!
The zombies’ running speed was fast, and they moved fluidly, not at all stiff. If It were the old Wang Tao, he might not have been able to outrun them.
But now Wang Tao’s physical fitness had improved a lot, and even with the heavy load on his body, he was not slower than them.
These fast-moving zombies appeared from all directions, but there was only one on Wang Tao’s way home, which was good news.
He charged toward the lone zombie, and as he approached, Wang Tao picked up the horned hammer in his hand and smashed it down viciously onto the creature’s head.
Bang!
[ -432 ]
[ 568/1000 ]
A head-shot with the hammer only caused over four hundred damage, and as the zombies had tooo HP, it would take at least two or three more hits to kill them.
The zombie was knocked flying backwards. Seizing the momentum, Wang Tao swung two more hammer blows.

The zombie was killed. Wang Tao picked up the loot drop, his feet not stopping, and continued running toward the community.
Although it took him just three hits to kill the zombie, which seemed manageable, these zombies were much faster and more troublesome to deal with than ordinary zombies.
Moreover, there were too many of them. In just a short while, another dozen or so appeared around him.
The sight of over thirty zombies, like athletes, sprinting furiously toward him was enough to make anyone’s scalp tingle.
And Wang Tao was not sure if the explosion earlier would attract other special zombies; it would be even more troublesome if other types showed up. Wang Tao ran frantically ahead, with zombies vigorously chasing after him. However, these zombies were not as fast as Wang Tao; by the time he returned to the entrance of Happy Community, most of the zombies had fallen behind, leaving only five young male zombies still in pursuit.
Wang Tao didn’t take the main gate but directly climbed over the fence into the community.
But the five zombies also climbed over the wall following him!
Wang Tao glanced at the five zombies and, instead of staying to fight, he opened the door to Building 4 and ran upstairs.
“Roar!”
The five zombies roared and pounded on the door, but upon realizing it wouldn’t budge, they scaled the wall with the agility of rock climbers! “What happened to Wang Tao?”
Seeing Wang Tao return, Ding Yuqin quickly opened the door and asked. She hadn’t witnessed the zombies following Wang Tao, but she heard the explosion before.
“Zombies are chasing after me. Stay inside the house; I’m going to the rooftop!” Wang Tao didn’t enter the room but instead instructed her briefly and directly ran to the rooftop, then forcefully opened the door.
“Roar!”
The five zombies had already climbed to the rooftop. Seeing Wang Tao, they immediately charged at him.
Whoosh—
Wang Tao took a deep breath and, when he saw all five zombies enter his attack range, he lifted his hammer and smashed it down on the closest zombie simultaneously utilizing his Shockwave ability.
Bang!
[ -451 ]
The hammer struck the forehead of the first zombie and then a visible Shockwave spread from the zombie’s head in all directions!

( -356 ]
All the zombies staggered wildly, a string of numbers jumping from their heads so fast they almost dazzled Wang Tao’s eyes.
“I’m so strong!”
As he marveled inwardly, Wang Tao’s hands continued to move.
Bang!
[ -461]
[-342 ]
One advantage of the Shockwave was that the zombies hit by it were not only injured, but also repelled, and some even became unsteady and fell to the ground.
That is to say, they had no time to counterattack.
Bang!

Three strikes and five zombies were wiped out instantly!
“Awesome!”
Wang Tao vigorously shook the hammer, then with a thought, he collected all the loot that had burst forth.

The items that ordinary zombies dropped were usually one or two, most commonly one, with two being very rare.
Whereas the items these zombies dropped were around two to three each.
But in terms of danger level, these were far more dangerous than ordinary zombies, after all, not only were they fast, but they also appeared in groups. “These zombies might be a new type that emerged after the recent heavy rain…”
Wang Tao glanced at his HP once again; it was still not replenished by a single point. b
He was not too disappointed because judging from the items these zombies had dropped, they were probably just ordinary zombies – in Wang Tao’s eyes only those that yielded Crystal Cores were considered special zombies.
It was a pity that he had no chance to test whether special zombies could still replenish his HP. He had just encountered one, but that thing self-destructed and it wasn’t counted as his kill. Apart from the Zombie Core, nothing else dropped.
Wang Tao threw the bodies of these five zombies down from the building and then looked at his Happy Community, shaking his head with a sense of helplessness.
Looks like it’s time to leave…”
He had thought about preparing a bit more and not rushing to leave But the appearance of zombies that were as mad as crazies suddenly filled Wang Tao with a sense of urgency.
The walls of his community couldn’t hold back such zombies, let alone the crazy zombies that could even climb up the buildings…
Wang Tao returned home, and Ding Yuqin hurried over with worry.
‘Wang Tao, are you alright?”
“Don’t worry, sister-in-law, I’m fine.”
“Then… what’s happening outside?”
“A new type of zombie has appeared…”
Wang Tao explained briefly.
When Ding Yuqin heard that these zombies could not only scale the walls of the community but also climb up to the rooftops from the exterior of the buildings her face turned pale.??????????????????????????????? ’
When she was free, she liked to water the plants on the rooftop, which, in her eyes, was the safest place in the world.
If she encountered a zombie while watering the plants one day… that would be certain death!
What should we do? Should we take down the chives?”
Ding Yuqin was somewhat afraid.
She had just managed to live comfortably for a few days under Wang Tao’s protection; was fate still not willing to let her be…
“Don’t worry, sister-in-law. These zombies were attracted by the loud noises. As long as you don’t make too much noise, it should be fine. Of course, we can’t stay here much longer, we’ll have to see when we can leave. Tomorrow I’ll go out again…”
Wang Tao reassured her.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you!”
Ding Yuqin clutched Wang Tao’s hand tightly.
“Oh right…”
Wang Tao suddenly remembered he had picked up a Zombie Core but hadn’t had the chance to check it yet.
With a thought, a light blue transparent Crystal Core appeared in his hand.
[Level 1 Crystal Core-Self-Destruct]
[Quality: Excellent (60%)]
[Purity: 50% (Side effects: None)]
A Crystal Core without side effects?
Wang Tao was somewhat surprised, but upon reading the description that followed, he understood why there were no side effects.
[Self-Detonation: Consumes all energy, the body explodes instantly.. The range and power of the explosion depend on the amount of energy]
