"Prepare to set fire!"
With Zang Pengfei's loud shout, the professionals nearby ignited the only defensive measure set up at the camp's entrance—a deep trench filled with gasoline and straw.
As the flames danced, thick smoke and fire obscured the survivors' sight.
Without the oppressive presence of zombies right before them, everyone let out a slight sigh of relief.
Then, a sudden roar erupted from the other side of the flames.
Two humanoid creatures flew over the flames, their agile bodies continually adjusting in mid-air. As they descended, they landed on the ground, creating a large pit!
Two second-level zombies.
Without a moment's hesitation, Sun Aotian aimed a punch at one of them, while Zang Pengfei activated his skill against the other zombie.
Smash (F-level active skill): Strengthens the damage of the next strike. This is a basic skill for warriors.
Zang Pengfei was just an ordinary warrior, but his physical fitness had already reached the peak of a first-level practitioner, and he clearly had strong combat skills.
Therefore, if it came down to a desperate fight, Zang Pengfei believed he could hold his own against Sun Aotian!
As the two second-level zombies engaged with the two of them, the zombie king on the opposite side of the fire was also busy, throwing numerous first-level zombies one after another, as if they were dumplings, raining down on the humans. Some zombies, due to the zombie king's excessive force, crashed to the ground and broke their bones, struggling to get up before being beheaded by nearby professionals.
Others were thrown directly onto the professionals, smashing them into the ground, ignoring the pain as both sides fought fiercely.
More zombies ended up thrown onto the open ground, and before the professionals could move in for the kill, the zombies had already stood up and launched attacks on the humans!
Sun Aotian delivered a punch, but in close combat, the damage from the wave fist was far from sufficient, only pushing the zombie back a small step.
Seeing Zang Pengfei struggling not far away, Sun Aotian's anxiety grew.
"This situation isn't looking good! Should we run first?"
With this thought in mind, Sun Aotian felt the combat situation was too bleak for the humans; the number of zombies outnumbered them by dozens or even hundreds!
In a fight where certain death awaited, only a few could bravely sacrifice themselves!
Just as Sun Aotian hesitated, a massive gray shadow suddenly darted from the direction of the camp, opening its wide mouth and fiercely biting the second-level zombie that was engaged with Sun Aotian.
It was the one-eyed creature.
The second-level zombie, seeing the one-eyed creature's sharp fangs and gaping maw, swiftly dodged the bite but was knocked away by a backhand slap from the one-eyed creature.
The zombie's body spun several times in mid-air, and just as it landed, the one-eyed creature lunged again, biting down on the zombie's neck.
This time, the zombie was unable to avoid the attack.
With a "crack," the head and body separated, and this zombie was dead!
Sun Aotian stared blankly at the suddenly appearing one-eyed creature, which had effortlessly dealt with the opponent he could barely hold his ground against.
"So, this is Wen Yu's summoned beast? It's already so strong, and now there's this impressive big dog... truly..."
Sun Aotian had heard of the big dog that appeared in the camp during the day.
A fleeting flash of jealousy crossed his eyes.
For someone with the protagonist syndrome, encountering someone stronger than himself intensified feelings of jealousy!
The one-eyed creature ignored Sun Aotian's complex emotions and opened its mouth to begin eating. The second-level zombie was quite a treat for the one-eyed creature.
The few second-level zombies from the morning had significantly improved the one-eyed creature's physical prowess.
"Sun Aotian, what are you looking at? Hurry up and come help me!"
Seeing the one-eyed creature swiftly take down Sun Aotian's opponent, Zang Pengfei, already injured, shouted at Sun Aotian.
