The death of this person seemed to open up a curtain, and the high-level existence in the horde finally made its move.
Not far from the variant zombie, a short but exceptionally burly giant-headed zombie charged out from the corpse crowd.
This giant-headed zombie looked bizarre, with a spherical head that occupied one-third of its body. Its head was unnaturally smooth, and the human facial features had completely vanished, resembling an enlarged yoga ball.
The human in front was so frightened by this strange creature that he took two steps back, wielding a weapon made by welding a fruit knife to an iron rod, desperately stabbing at the monster. However, the blade struck the shiny head and only made a loud clang, failing to penetrate. Instead, the immense force caused the fruit knife to fall off the iron rod.
The giant-headed zombie suddenly tilted its enormous head upward, revealing a hidden face underneath. However, it lacked ears, a nose, and eyebrows, possessing only a pair of tiny eyes the size of soybeans, which looked very awkward on such a large head.
Yet, it had a gigantic mouth, measuring nearly a meter long when closed, prominent in the middle of its spherical head.
As this large mouth appeared, it initially curled up as if to smile, but a second later, it suddenly opened wide, spraying out a dozen or more strips of flesh, either black or deep green, with sharp conical teeth at the tips, each about the length of a palm.
These strips of flesh danced wildly from the giant-headed zombie's mouth, and as its body approached the human ahead, numerous strips found their target, instantly piercing into the human's body.
The person couldn't evade in time, bowing his head in terror to look at the strips of flesh embedded in his body, feeling the life being sucked out of him. He opened his mouth to scream but had no strength left, feeling the world spin violently before he completely lost his life.
The giant-headed zombie withdrew its strips of flesh from the dead human's body, its tiny eyes gleaming with excitement. However, it was clear that one human couldn't satisfy its appetite, and it charged towards a new target...
In addition to the appearance of grade 2 zombies, mutated animals also revealed their fangs. Those mutated poultry, which had somehow made their way here, had grown to the size of calves. They soared up from the corpse crowd, and under their pecking, ordinary humans had no way to resist. As soon as they were touched, it created enormous wounds, and in a moment, three or four people had fallen to the ground, instantly dismembered.
The once relatively intact front line suddenly had a massive gap.
This gap was deadly.
Because it meant that zombies and mutated animals could attack survivors from all directions.
The number of human deaths was increasing almost with the ticking of the second hand.
“Gather around me!”
Ye Zhongming shouted loudly, slicing through the body of a mutated rooster that had attempted to ambush him. Ignoring the splattered blood, he began to expand his attack area.
“How long until it's over?”
“Eleven minutes!”
Park Soo-young's reported time filled everyone with despair. The remaining dozen ordinary people turned pale, as if they could see the impending doom.
“Don't be afraid, follow me, and retreat slowly!”
With Liang Chuyin's help, Ye Zhongming managed to gather the remaining people around him. Liang Chuyin stood beside him, and together they dealt with most of the enemies, while the others only needed to handle a small angle, which alleviated the precarious situation somewhat.
And because they were retreating slowly, everyone had a bit more hope in their hearts.
“Li Qiang!”
Ye Zhongming called out again, and the gunman who had been lying in wait among the ruins opened fire.
This was Li Qiang's last magazine, which the beautiful woman had tossed to Ye Zhongming before leaving, and Ye Zhongming had passed it on to him.
Li Qiang pulled the trigger, and just as a long-legged leaping zombie jumped into the air, it was shot in the eye. This weak yet vital spot was attacked, instantly claiming its life.
