C5 – The Zombie Invasion!
“Attack!”
Simultaneously, Chen Dong and his companions launched an assault on the zombies.
Typically, zombies are quite aggressive, and Non-evolved individuals stand little chance against them.
However, Chen Dong’s group was extraordinarily seasoned, and they quickly overpowered the two zombies.
Tan Chong stood to the side, glanced over, and silently made his way down to the second floor.
With a series of sharp cracks, the two zombies were effortlessly dispatched.
“Mr. Dong, Tan Chong seems to have disappeared.”
The heavyset man pried the Energy Stone from the corpse of a zombie and glanced towards the door, but Tan Chong was nowhere to be seen. He hurriedly informed Chen Dong.
“Forget about him. Let’s focus on moving the stuff.”
Chen Dong was preoccupied with the contents of the room, showing no concern for Tan Chong.
The room was stocked with food, predominantly canned meats.
The plump man and his two companions eagerly dove into the stash of cans.
“All of this is ours. Grab the canned food first,” Chen Dong called out.
Tan Chong, standing outside a second-floor room, heard the commotion from above and a smile crossed his face.
With a forceful kick, he sent the door flying off its hinges.
?The zombies inside were momentarily stunned before they furiously charged at Tan Chong.
Without hesitation, Tan Chong spun around and dashed up to the third floor.
There, the stout man, laden with a heap of canned food, nearly collided with Tan Chong.
His face blanched as he spotted the horde of zombies trailing Tan Chong, and the cans tumbled from his grasp.
Cursing under his breath, he spun around and sprinted back into the room.
The sudden influx of zombies in the hallway was undoubtedly Tan Chong’s doing.
The reasons behind his actions were not something the stout man had time to ponder.
As the man attempted to flee, Tan Chong extended his hand and pointed. A beam of green light shot out, striking the man’s feet and transforming into a vine that entangled his ankles.
Tan Chong had employed a minor magic skill of the Magic Psychokinesis Master, the Wood Type Interwining Arts.
Rooted to the spot, the stout man stumbled and fell to the ground.
“Mr. Dong, save me!” The hefty man sprawled on the ground, screaming in desperation.
The zombies that surged forward immediately lunged at him.
One of the zombies, with its gaping maw, clamped down on the man’s thigh.
Blood, bright and crimson, spurted out, quickly filling the corridor with the reek of gore.
Chen Dong and his two companions, alerted by the noise, dashed out of the room.
Their faces turned pale at the sight of the fat man’s plight and the horde of zombies in the hallway.
Chen Dong steeled himself, striving for composure. He drew his machete and struck at a zombie.
The other two brandished their weapons, launching a coordinated assault on the undead.
The zombies, upon spotting Chen Dong and his allies, charged with increased ferocity. Even those feasting on the fat man scrambled to join the fray.
Tan Chong was crouched in a corner of the corridor when a zombie spotted him and barreled in his direction.
