Zeus Shield Tower had a total of eighteen floors, with the strength of the monsters increasing as one ascended. The gene zombies found on the first floor were likely the remnants of early failed experiments. On the thirteenth floor, these genetic zombies possessed greater physical strength and were equipped with more advanced gear. Although they were also at level twenty, they felt like monsters from an entirely different league to Song Jian.

Standing by the stairway door of the thirteenth floor, Song Jian carefully checked whether any monsters were guarding the door outside. Thankfully, outside the door were only two ordinary level twenty gene zombies.

Both gene zombies were humanoid, with vacant eyes as they shuffled from one end of the corridor to the other. They wore no protective gear and had no weapons in their hands, so they looked no different from common mutant zombies.

They shuffled about the corridor back and forth, as if they were robots programmed with a predetermined path and never changing their walking posture.

According to the mission map, the “Polymer Analyzer” was in a lab diagonally across the side door. Going in there would certainly alarm these two monsters. Could Song Jian risk a battle in the lab that might damage the “Polymer Analyzer”…?

With this thought, Song Jian took a deep breath, gripped his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword and waited patiently for the mutant zombies to approach.

When the two mutant zombies drew near, Song Jian used the “Spiritual Sword Control Technique” instantly. The invisible Spirit Sword slashed towards the nearest mutant zombie.

In an instant, a mournful howl echoed throughout the corridor, as the mutated zombie clutched its head and rolled on the floor. Its body underwent a horrific transformation, muscles bulging and covered in thick black hair. The clothes were ripped apart by the swelling muscles. The originally bloodless, pale face contorted and morphed as the sound of bones grinding filled the air. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a muscular werewolf over two meters tall.

The other mutant zombie, whose gaze was originally vacant, snapped to attention the moment it saw Song Jian. A strange smile appeared on its face, its fangs emerged, and its crimson pupils twinkled with a bloodthirsty glow.

Song Jian felt his vision going dark when the mutant zombie lunged at him with surprising speed, grasping his head, opening its mouth wide, and prepared to sink its teeth into Song Jian’s neck.

Sword Finger!

A silver Sword Qi pierced through the mutant zombie’s chest and shot out from the front.

Bang!

The zombie in front of him suddenly exploded into countless palm-sized bats, fluttering their wings as they flew backwards.

Song Jian was stunned momentarily. It felt like he had seen such a scene somewhere, it seemed familiar.

Not far away, those bats regrouped to form a middle-aged European man with blond hair, dressed in a black suit.

His face was deathly pale, but his lips stood out from his face due to their excessive redness. As he stared at Song Jian, he elegantly pressed his right hand to his chest, made a slight bow and said, “The taste of fresh blood, it has been decades since I last tasted such powerful blood. Thank you, stranger, for freeing me from that zombie-like state of chaos. In return, I can drain all the blood from your body and leave you with a complete corpse.”

After speaking, the gene zombie revealed a greedy and mysterious smile. Like a lightning bolt, it lunged towards Song Jian, leaving a deep scar on Song Jian’s chest. If Song Jian hadn’t instantly retreated two steps back and used his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword to parry, this blow might have disemboweled him.

Song Jian glanced at the werewolf still rolling in pain on the ground. He wasn’t sure how soon it would recover from the agony of the Spirit Sword. This werewolf gene zombie was obviously a strength-based combatant, while the seemingly vampire-like gene warrior was agility-based. If the two of them teamed up against him, Song Jian would likely be forced to make a hasty retreat. A slight mistake could cost him his life here.

Rapid Sword!

Song Jian’s eyes couldn’t keep up with the speed of the gene zombie. He could only rely on his instinct and the attack speed boosted by Rapid Sword to compete with it.

The vampire zombie darted like the wind, each attack adding another mark to Song Jian’s body. Licking the blood on its fingernails, a sickly intoxicated look appeared on the face of the vampire zombie.

In just a few seconds, more than a dozen wounds had been inflicted on Song Jian. Fortunately, though the opponent’s attackwas fast, the damage caused by each was insignificant – only around twenty or thirty points. With Song Jian’s vitality recovery rate, even if he took the blows head-on, it would still take dozens of minutes to deplete his vitality.

However, it seemed that the werewolf zombie had recovered and though its eyes held some fear as it looked at Song Jian, there was more anger and cruelty.

Whoosh-

Another attack like the wind. By the time Song Jian felt the piercing pain in his shoulder, the vampire zombie had already quickly distanced itself by a meter or two.

Sword Silk!

Three silver threads materialized out of nowhere beside Song Jian. At that moment, the werewolf zombie roared and charged towards Song Jian, its front paws springing forth three sharp blades, glinting with cold metallic light.

Thwack, thwack, thwack~

The three strands of Sword Silk, originally intended to attack the vampire zombie, sensed the approaching werewolf zombie, and immediately converged onto it.

One strand of the Sword Silk whipped the opponent’s face, while the other two pierced its shoulder, nearly severing the entire right shoulder.

Just as Song Jian let out a sigh of relief, the werewolf zombie glanced at its right arm, slightly adjusted the bone with its left arm, then twisted. In just two to three seconds, the right arm was reattached, completely unscathed. From the outside, there wasn’t even a trace of injury.

Song Jian inhaled sharply. This regeneration speed was even more terrifying than his own. To kill this werewolf zombie, it seemed that he might have to completely dismember it and burn its ashes.

Luckily, the two gene zombies, although they appeared to be attacking together, didn’t seem to have any coordination. The werewolf zombie often charged forward recklessly, blocking the vampire zombie’s attack path several times. It made the vampire zombie bristle with malice.

Of course, these two gene zombies were more rational than the failed experiments below and did not stage a desirable ‘internal strife’ in front of Song Jian.

Song Jian also gave up his defense, waving the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, intending to trade blows and put his life on the line in a vigorous confrontation against them.

Spiritual Sword Control Technique!

The cooldown ended, another transparent spirit sword started forming above Song Jian’s head. The werewolf zombie seemed to sense something and quickly withdrew its blades from Song Jian’s shoulder, stepping back five or six steps in a row with a vigilant look on its face.

Whoosh ~

Seizing the opportunity, the vampire zombie lunged at Song Jian, its fangs aimed straight at his neck. This power-packed vital blood was irresistible to it, enticing like a premium, irresistible delicacy.
