The gun barrel emitted a faint white glow, a light that approached transparency but was far from it, possessing an immense power. This power propelled the strange bullet forward, causing it to begin spinning slowly. Yet, this force stirred the Vital Energy, creating a large vortex of air.
How fast was the bullet?
Typically, a handgun bullet travels at speeds between two hundred to over three hundred meters per second, while a rifle can reach seven hundred to eight hundred meters per second.
A sniper rifle exceeds one thousand meters per second.
However, compared to this bullet, those speeds were child's play. This bullet's velocity undoubtedly surpassed five thousand meters per second, capable of striking the target in the blink of an eye. The sheer force and destructive power left even Zheng Yifan astonished.
This was the power of technology; when it reaches a certain level of advancement, it bursts forth with intense brilliance.
Just like now, a flash of white light surged forward, carrying with it a wave of murderous intent. Before the Flying Zombie could react in mid-air, the bullet had already pierced through its chest.
The hardened bone armor of its chest offered no resistance as the bullet completely penetrated. In the final moment before leaving the Zombie's body, it seemed almost sentient as it exploded with tremendous force.
The purpose of the Anti-Material Rifle was to destroy materials, and its explosive power was truly astonishing; the bullet unleashed its most potent force.
Now, Li Li had indeed unleashed such a fierce attack with this shot.
One second?
Perhaps it was less than a second before the explosive force tore apart the entire body of the Zombie. The spherical Mutated Zombie beneath its claws still suffered from the blast's impact, followed by waves of spiraling Vital Energy crashing against it.
The power was strong enough to take down a Fourth-Stage Zombie. This was the first time the Super Energy Bullet had been used on the battlefield, and its effectiveness was remarkable. It exhibited immense lethality in combat and had good potential for widespread use; its only drawback was its exorbitant cost.
If this type of weapon were to be used continuously, any Rich Tycoon would find themselves in dire straits.
Among them was Zheng Yifan.
The cost of each bullet was nearly 100 contribution points, and a machine gun could fire thousands of rounds in a minute. If one were to use a close-range cannon, it could unleash nearly ten thousand rounds every minute, amounting to millions of contribution points.
After a while, Zheng Yifan would officially declare bankruptcy.
However, the effect was undeniably powerful. The massive sphere of the Mutated Zombie howled in mid-air as its body was blown apart, a large hole gaping open and a torrent of Zombie Fluid pouring into the river.
That fluid was highly corrosive and flammable. As it dripped into the river, fish began to swarm towards it, drawn by the substance as if they were post-apocalyptic humans chasing after delicacies. It was pure sugar, extremely attractive to the fish.
In its final moments, the Zombie unleashed a last desperate act. Flames flickered from its mouth, initially intended to ignite the Zombie Fluid within its belly and shoot it outwards. But now, it could only ignite itself.
Its entire body caught fire, resembling a massive airship exploding—a colossal bomb detonating in mid-air, sending waves of fiery meteors cascading down.
These fiery meteors struck other Flying Zombies, igniting them instantly.
The flames from the burning Zombie Fluid were impossible to evade; even when submerged in water, they continued to burn with an astonishing stickiness that left onlookers in awe.
Zheng Yifan saw a spray of fiery Zombie Fluid adhere to a Third-Stage Zombie hovering in mid-air. The Flying Zombie above it had long since been incinerated. The Third-Stage Zombie roared in defiance, but it was futile; the flames burned on even underwater. Its entire being was assimilated into Zombie Fluid and burned even more fiercely.
Zombies themselves resembled liquefied gas canisters—just a spark would set them ablaze.
In an instant, the threat of flames grew even stronger. The spreading Zombie Fluid had taken out at least a hundred Zombies and dozens of Flying Zombies.
"Yay!" Li Li exclaimed joyfully, jumping up in excitement not only for the new weapon, Super Energy Bullet, but also for the contribution points; each Zombie meant 1,000 contribution points. What about the others?
"One thousand, two thousand, three thousand..." She counted on her fingers but couldn't tally how many Zombies had perished on the spot.
The final count needed to be calculated based on the records from each instrument.
At the very least, he could make some serious modifications to the gun in his hand. The parts he would replace might not be many, but their quality would be top-notch.
Li Li blushed as she looked at the empty Flying Zombie, a smile on her face as if it were filled with contribution points.
Zheng Yifan, however, was focused on the type of Zombie. With the appearance of self-destructing Zombies, the ones behind must be even more powerful. Could he really hold his ground?
For the first time, Zheng Yifan questioned himself, but he quickly dismissed the thought. If he couldn't endure, then what about the others?
The front line attacking the Zombies had already reached Jiang Grand Bridge right behind the Flying Zombie.
The fortress ahead had a defense capability so formidable that it was almost unbelievable. During its construction, every possible mishap had been anticipated and addressed, minimizing any vulnerabilities to the lowest point.
Hope Gathering Place was originally established for city defense and possessed abundant resources. Within Hope Gathering Place, there was only success, no failure.
No battle had ever ended in defeat; at the forefront of combat, over forty Superpowered Individuals awaited the arrival of the Zombies. They were all Fire Elemental Superpowered Beings, not just from Bloodbath Legion but also warriors from Flame Legion.
At the front were the elite forces of the Two Major Legions. Although there were only a little over forty of them, they were indeed the backbone of fortress defense. The very first battle had been initiated by them.
A large number of new recruits joined the Two Major Legions, driven by their trust in Hope Gathering Place and their admiration for Zheng Yifan. They resolutely became part of Hope Gathering Place's Two Major Legions.
They aspired to become true warriors and gain more glory and wealth. Unfortunately, reality was far from their wishes; Hope Gathering Place could only defend itself. They were trapped in the fortress, enduring relentless assaults from Zombies. Even with an advantage, they still had to defend.
Their psychological resilience was much stronger than that of people from the Post-Apocalypse era, yet during defense, they still faced mental shadows from being beaten down.
They needed to visualize themselves overpowering their opponents during defense to remind them that killing enemies could be quite easy.
Without the shadow of death looming over them, there would be no fear of battle.
Standing here now are the arson experts from the Hope Gathering Place.
Sun Yang and his son Sun Hai gazed confidently at the approaching Zombies below. They had become core members of the Firestorm Team, among the strongest in the Hope Gathering Place.
The father and son complemented each other perfectly. Originally ordinary fire manipulators, together they wielded double the power, effectively combining their abilities to unleash the strength of four. Their power had become more concentrated, amplifying their lethality.
What was most astonishing was the temperature of their Superpower.
At the First-Level Esper stage, their flames barely reached a few hundred degrees.
But now they were Third-Stage Espers, capable of manipulating flames that could reach thousands of degrees, with a release range covering nearly a hundred square meters.
However, their abilities were somewhat exaggerated; the area they controlled was not merely two hundred square meters.
A ten-meter by ten-meter area is vastly different from a zero-meter by zero-meter one. They had quadrupled the burning surface area, with temperatures approaching ten thousand degrees.
That was enough to melt steel. Any Zombie entering their domain would meet certain death, with no room for retreat.
Even Third-Stage Zombies were no exception; they were like meat grinders on the battlefield, prime targets for the Flame Legion. The Left Guard's decision to send these two fellows over underscored their seriousness about this battle.
In just ten minutes—no more, no less—the first Zombie had already reached the walls of Fortress Jiang. Two white marks were left on the wall where it had touched, but there was no further change; the attacks from First-Level Zombies were too weak to damage the wall.
Two Superpowered Individuals armed with firearms took aim at the Zombie from atop the wall.
Suddenly, two machine guns fired simultaneously, their bullets striking the Zombie's head almost at the same moment.
"Bang!" It was as if a watermelon had exploded, green pulp and zombie fluid splattering all over the walls, only to be absorbed by the moss.
The battle began at that moment. This was the first time Fortress Jiang experienced combat, and it was also the first time Hope Gathering Place engaged in battle with another large Gathering Place, defending their city.
It was the first time they had been bullied right to their doorstep. The people of Hope Gathering Place hoped to wash away their shame with a glorious victory.
With flames burning in their hands, the core members on the walls began their attack as the zombies gradually approached. However, their method of attack was quite unique; they did not directly assault the zombies. Instead, everyone lined up in formation and began to stretch the flames into thin waves, spreading out like ripples.
One person's wave became two. If two weren't enough, then ten would do. In the end, almost everyone joined in except for Sun Hai and his son. The waves of fire multiplied, gradually surging toward the zombies.
The first zombie didn't even have time to react; it merely brushed against the flames.
In an instant, it was engulfed by fire, followed by the second and third.
The zombies seemed endless, continuously advancing without pause.
Looking out over the seemingly infinite horde of zombies, flames began to glow amidst them. The fire's lethality diminished with each passing moment until it merely ignited a few scattered zombies, burning away their excess fat.
However, their tactic was successful because of that fire! The zombies would suffer significant damage. (To be continued)
