"Charge!" The Sword and Shield Bearer of the Two Major Legions led the charge at the front. Ahead lay a slope, and the two Sword and Shield Bearers held seeds of the man-eating flower in their hands. Their mission was to rush forward and plant the seeds.
Fifteen man-eating flowers behind them were on the verge of bearing fruit. As long as they could lure some Zombies into battle, Essence Fruits would grow.
"Kill!" Zheng Yifan took the lead, rushing to the front while a dozen others frantically pushed a Tricycle behind him. As Zheng Yifan surged ahead, they overturned the Tricycle.
Instantly, large plastic bags tumbled to the ground, each one punctured by a shot.
The ground was suddenly stained red, a pool of blood that attracted the Zombies with immense power. Although blood had already drawn a large number of Zombies from outside, those gathered in the resort had remained unaffected until now; but now, they were all drawn in.
"Roar!" A continuous series of roars erupted as Second-Level Zombies appeared before Zheng Yifan, their Scorpion Tails whipping around as they aimed.
However, their focus was more on the blood behind him. The temptation Zheng Yifan provided was insufficient; the allure of the blood drew them even more.
Many Zombies ignored Zheng Yifan entirely and charged downwards.
But Zheng Yifan would not give them that chance. The Adamantium Shield flew out with a swoosh, carving an arc through the air and cleaving through the heads of four Second-Level Zombies.
Second-Level Zombies were too fragile; their strength lay solely in their attack power, which was merely a means to seize the initiative.
As Zheng Yifan attacked, arrows from behind also sprang into action. Their purpose was simply to delay the Zombies' assault while capturing them with Fish Spears and nets.
Both legions gradually developed their own tactics for dealing with Second-Level Zombies.
The Flame Legion excelled at using Fish Spears—swift and convenient—allowing them to easily pin Zombies in a straight line. If any Zombie attempted to escape elsewhere, it would be restricted.
The netting technique was even more ferocious; when their Scorpion Tails weren't sweeping through, the fishing nets would limit the Zombies' attacking capabilities as they awaited death's arrival.
Yet no one could match Zheng Yifan's speed. He stood at the front like an unstoppable force. The training he had undergone during this time was evident; although he inherited Lin Chong's skills and combat prowess, it was honed through an ordinary person's body. While he had learned some rudimentary methods of utilizing Vital Energy, they were still too crude. Against ordinary people, it sufficed; but against Zombies, especially Advanced Zombies, it fell short.
After rigorous training, he finally found a combat style that suited him better.
It was close-quarters assassination, relying on continuous stabbing rather than being constrained by various techniques, using only three simple moves.
Rainbow Piercing the Sun, Han Xin's Troops, and Treading Snow to Seek Plum Blossoms.
Moreover, Gangbu allowed him to reach a level that Lin Chong could never achieve in his lifetime. After all, physical attributes determined combat styles, and Lin Chong was just an ordinary person; his physical strength could not compare to that of Zheng Yifan, who had been enhanced by the Super Soldier Serum.
In an instant, glimmers of cold light shattered their necks, revealing their Zombie Crystal.
The few people behind him didn’t even have time to unleash their power before Zheng Yifan claimed the first kill.
He could not hide his strength now; he had to move forward. He had already spotted the figure of a Third-Stage Zombie. Although the Two Major Legions were called such, they only numbered 400 in total, and losing even one would be painful for him. When dealing with the First-Level Zombie, there had been no casualties, and they were cautious even when facing the Second-Level Zombie.
However, facing a Third-Stage Zombie was nothing short of slaughter.
With Fish Spears and Net Guns, they contained the zombies on both sides, while the Sword and Shield Bearer stood in front of the zombies, allowing the Pikeman to pierce their throats.
Typically, the Sword and Shield Bearer would only use their shield; they would resort to using their longsword only when absolutely necessary.
Against zombies, long weapons were more effective. When fighting humans, they would be the strongest warriors, and the specially selected 40 Crossbowmen would unleash their maximum potential.
Now, however, they were venting their frustrations with Fish Spears and Net Guns.
“Roar!” The first Third-Stage Zombie finally charged forward. Facing Zheng Yifan, they showed no fear; they never feared him. The overall strength of Zheng Yifan was roughly equivalent to that of a Second-Stage Esper, comparable to a Second-Stage Enhanced Esper. The distinctions between Second-Stage Barrier Protection and Second-Stage Esper could be drawn; in fact, one could consider Zheng Yifan as an enhanced version of a Second-Stage Enhanced Esper. Unlike ordinary Superpowered Individuals, who awakened solely to increase their inherent powers or gain various Superpowers,
Zheng Yifan’s awakening involved not just gaining a Superpower, but also mastering techniques inherited from awakened individuals. Of course, he also inherited their weaponry.
If one simply awakens their powers, the Second Tier Enhanced Esper will possess strength surpassing Zheng Yifan, with formidable attack power. However, they will never inherit the Shooting Skill, nor will they master the Footwork and Vital Energy techniques, let alone wield the Bright Silver Nine-Dragon Spear, which is a divine weapon, or the Adamantium Shield, which is incredibly sturdy.
After a simple wipe, Zheng Yifan discovered that the previous scratch had only damaged the outer paint slightly; the metal underneath remained completely unharmed. The paint used on the shield was of the highest quality and would not normally sustain damage.
"Kill!" With two experiences facing Third-Stage Zombies under his belt, Zheng Yifan was constantly simulating how to fight when encountering a Third-Stage Zombie.
Now was the time to put theory into practice.
As the Third-Stage Zombie lunged forward, all Fish Spears and Net Guns were aimed at it.
After all, this type of monster possessed immense strength and a robust physique that they could not handle; they could only rely on Zheng Yifan's power.
Almost simultaneously with the impact of the Net Gun and Fish Spear on the Third-Stage Zombie, Zheng Yifan launched his attack.
The tail of the Third-Stage Zombie swung with incredible speed; it was their trump card. While its arms and legs had not undergone significant mutations or evolution, that tail was extraordinarily swift, reminiscent of ancient dinosaurs—its tail whip moved like lightning, akin to a shooting star.
With a whoosh, it struck right in front of Zheng Yifan.
With a thud in mid-air, Zheng Yifan had already thrown his Adamantium Shield out. It collided with the tail while dozens of Fish Spears struck as well. Although the Fish Spears could not pierce its body, they still wrapped around it.
The Net Gun also launched nets from both sides.
The positioning was meticulously calculated; not a single fishing line interfered with Zheng Yifan's attack trajectory. Even the Net Gun entangled the Zombie from the side.
As the Adamantium Shield flew upward from the impact, an eerie force seemed to pull it toward Zheng Yifan's left arm.
At that moment, as the Third-Stage Zombie retracted its tail after attacking, Zheng Yifan moved forward to counterattack.
With one foot landing on the tail hammer, he took two steps along the tail and leaped into the air. This was a position where the Zombie could not attack with its hands or legs; it could only futilely stretch out its arms, slightly tilting its body in an attempt to continue attacking with the tail hammer.
Although the force did not come from behind with great power, it could still injure Zheng Yifan.
However, Zheng Yifan would not give it this opportunity. He thrust his spear forward, first targeting the vulnerable crown of the Zombie's head. This area was weak in human skulls; if it were an Ordinary Zombie, a single thrust would be enough to penetrate. But before him was a Third-Stage Zombie, requiring three consecutive thrusts at the same spot to break through.
As for the throat, this angle was not the best for delivering force.
Zheng Yifan was confident he could land three consecutive strikes at the same point and pierce through the Zombie's skull.
"Thud!" Rainbow Piercing the Sun!
After striking the Zombie's head twice with his spear, Zheng Yifan quickly withdrew it and, just as he reached an angle where he could no longer attack the top of its head, thrust again.
The spear shot out like a dragon, piercing through like a rainbow against the sun, driven by the blazing sunlight.
Brain matter splattered everywhere. Green brain fluid sprayed onto the ground as the tail hammer howled like wind, following through with its last momentum.
"Clang!" The Adamantium Shield collided with the tail hammer one last time, sending Zheng Yifan flying to the side.
His body sustained minimal damage; the Adamantium Shield had absorbed most of the impact and dissipated the force through vibrations.
However, his form was propelled forward by the sheer power of the blow.
Ahead lay a dozen Second-Level Zombies. Sensing Zheng Yifan's presence, their Scorpion Tails aimed at him, waiting for the signal carried by the wind that would announce his arrival before launching their attack.
"Whoosh!" The Adamantium Shield was flung out again, charging toward the horde of Zombies.
This time, he did not aim deliberately but threw it directly into the most densely packed area of Zombies, where the most of them gathered. As long as he could disrupt their balance, that would be enough. The long spear in his hand was ready.
As it landed, a cold light splashed everywhere; Han Xin's Troops aimed to maximize their impact.
However, Zheng Yifan had only practiced up to fourteen points. Although this was much stronger than Lin Chong's nine-point plum blossom, it was still not enough to defeat all the Zombies.
More Scorpion Tails lunged at him from midair.
In an instant, Zheng Yifan felt as if time had begun to slow down. His heart pumped rapidly, and his entire body was in a state of exhilaration.
The long spear in his hand seemed to swing instinctively around him with great force.
"Whoosh!" A spark ignited, like a raging fire, as a faint Vital Energy gathered at the tip of the Bright Silver Nine-Dragon Spear.
The spear sliced through the steaming Inferno, creating shockwaves that disrupted the Scorpion Tails in the air.
Wildfire Spreading! The Shooting Skill that Zheng Yifan had struggled to master suddenly manifested its astonishing power in that moment.
This was Vital Energy, capable of granting humans damage beyond ordinary limits. Wildfire Spreading was the only area-of-effect technique in the Lin Family Spear Technique, extracted from ancient texts; no one knew its true power. Now, in this world abundant with Vital Energy, it finally revealed its extraordinary prowess.
