Chapter 236: Numb scalp
The gunshots were getting closer, mixed with the angry roars of men and the roars of zombies. Chu Tian slowed down his pace, protected Xiaoyu behind him, and looked ahead vigilantly. Turning a corner, the scene in front of him shocked him.
A dozen men were fighting a large group of zombies, holding various weapons, including machetes, iron bars, and even a few worn-out shotguns. However, there were too many zombies, and they gradually fell into a disadvantage, with wounds on their bodies. A burly man, with his back against an abandoned car, wielding a fire axe in his hand, looked particularly brave.
"System, analyze these people." Chu Tian muttered to himself.
"Scanning... Target group: Human survivors, 12 in total, health status: generally with minor injuries, combat effectiveness: medium to low. Threat level: low."
"Analyze those zombies."
"Scanning... Target group: Ordinary zombies, 37 in total, movement speed: slow, attack method: biting, threat level: medium."
Chu Tian was thinking in his mind. Although these people were not strong in combat, they were numerous. If they could unite, they might be able to reach the location of high-energy reaction more easily.
"Xiaoyu, stay here and don't move." Chu Tian whispered, then picked up a brick from the ground and rushed out.
"Hey! Do you need help?" Chu Tian shouted, attracting everyone's attention.
The burly man was stunned when he saw Chu Tian, and then he roared: "Get lost! Don't make trouble!"
Chu Tian ignored his roar and rushed straight towards a zombie that was about to pounce on a young woman, smashing the zombie's head with the brick in his hand.
"Bang!" With a dull sound, the zombie fell to the ground.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that this thin-looking man could have such great strength.
Chu Tian did not stop. He moved flexibly among the zombies, and the bricks in his hand fell again and again. Each blow was precise and deadly.
In less than five minutes, the zombies besieging them were cleared out by Chu Tian.
The burly man walked up to Chu Tian, looked him up and down, and said in a muffled voice: "Boy, you are quite capable."
Chu Tian smiled, pointed to the east and said, "I'm going there, how about you guys?"
The burly man looked in the direction Chu Tian pointed, frowning slightly: "That's the city center, there are more zombies, what are you doing there?"
Chu Tian did not answer directly, but smiled mysteriously: "Go find something."
The burly man hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Li Qiang, and I'm the captain of this team. We also want to go to the city center, so why don't we go together so that we can take care of each other on the way."
Chu Tian nodded and agreed to Li Qiang's proposal. He looked at the young woman hiding behind Li Qiang. The woman gave him a grateful look, and Chu Tian nodded politely.
The group headed towards the city center. With Chu Tian's joining, the team's progress was significantly faster and safer.
"System, how far is the high-energy reaction distance?" Chu Tian muttered to himself.
"1.5 kilometers from the host."
Chu Tian was delighted, thinking that they would reach their destination soon.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the front of the team, and a man pointed ahead and shouted in horror: "Mutated zombies! It's a mutant zombie!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a gigantic zombie rushing towards them. Its skin was a strange green color, and it let out a piercing roar...
Green skin, swollen muscles, the mutant zombie was almost twice the size of a normal zombie. It rushed over, and the ground was shaking slightly. Li Qiang's face suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Scatter! Scatter!"
Everyone scattered in panic, but the mutant zombie was extremely fast. It suddenly leaped up and pounced on a man who was running slower.
"Ah!" With a scream, the man was knocked to the ground by the mutated zombie, and its sharp claws tore open his chest.
Blood splattered, and the others' scalps tingled.
Chu Tian frowned. The strength and speed of this mutated zombie far exceeded that of ordinary zombies. The brick in his hand was obviously not enough to deal with it.
"System, analyze the target."
"Scanning... Target: Mutated zombie, Strength: Extremely strong, Speed: Extremely fast, Defense: High, Weakness: Head. Threat level: High."
Chu Tian had an idea in mind. He took a deep breath, picked up a steel bar from the ground, and rushed towards the mutant zombie.
Li Qiang and others were stunned. Is this guy crazy? He actually dared to attack the mutant zombies!
Chu Tian ignored them. He seized the opportunity, slid to avoid the mutant zombie's attack, and then stabbed its head with the steel bar in his hand.
"Puff!" The steel bar pierced the mutant zombie's skull, and green blood gushed out.
The mutated zombie let out a shrill roar, and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Chu Tian with awe in their eyes.
"Damn, brother, you're awesome!" a young man said excitedly.
Li Qiang also came over and patted Chu Tian on the shoulder: "Boy, I really didn't expect you to have this ability."
Chu Tian smiled and said nothing. He walked to the young woman hiding behind the car and asked, "Are you okay?"
The woman shook her head and looked at Chu Tian gratefully: "Thank you for saving me, my name is Lin Yu."
"You're welcome." Chu Tian smiled slightly, then looked at Li Qiang, "Let's keep going."
Li Qiang nodded, and the group continued to move towards the city center.
Along the way, they encountered several waves of zombie attacks, but they managed to get through them safely.
"System, how far is the high-energy reaction?"
"0.8 kilometers from the host."
Chu Tian was delighted, thinking that they would reach their destination soon.
Just then, they arrived at the entrance of an abandoned shopping mall.
"Let's go in and take a look." Li Qiang suggested, "There may be food and supplies in the mall."
Chu Tian nodded, and the group entered the mall.
The interior of the mall was in a mess, with scattered goods and bloodstains everywhere, and a rotten smell filled the air.
"Everyone be careful, there may still be zombies here." Li Qiang reminded.
Everyone moved forward cautiously, when suddenly, a rustling sound came from the front.
"What's that sound?" Lin Yu asked nervously.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of rats rushing out from behind the shelves. Their eyes were flashing a strange red light and they were much larger than ordinary rats.
"Mutated rats!" Li Qiang shouted, "Everyone be careful!"
These mutant rats were extremely fast. They bared their sharp teeth and pounced towards the crowd.
A man was unable to dodge and was bitten on the arm by a mutant rat. He screamed and tried desperately to shake the rat off.
However, more and more mutant rats came from all directions, and everyone was caught in a bitter battle. Chu Tian wielded the steel bar and kept killing the mutant rats, but he was no match for four hands with two fists, and soon he was bitten several times.
At this moment, he noticed that Lin Yu was besieged by several mutant rats and the situation was very critical. Chu Tian was anxious and rushed to Lin Yu to save her...
