Chapter 606

~7 min read 1,363 words

Just as Dry Corpse was stunned, Su Xiao, on the roof of the building across the street, adjusted the muzzle. The crosshairs in the scope were aimed at Dry Corpse's torso.

The power of the Spider Queen was so astonishing that not only the enemy but even Su Xiao himself felt quite surprised.

The result obtained after the initial verification was that when sniping an enemy, there was no need to aim for the head; aiming for the torso was the best choice.

Not to mention that the torso was many times larger than the head, when one enemy was smashed to pieces, it would cause a strong deterrent to other enemies, such as the current Dry Corpse.

As a rule-breaker who had been in Reincarnation Paradise for a long time, Dry Corpse hadn't seen no corpses; he had seen miserable deaths, but this was the first time he had seen one as clean as No. 5's.

Only stunned for 0.5 seconds, Dry Corpse threw No. 5's head aside, raised his right arm high, and slammed his elbow into the car door.

With a bang, the passenger door flew out. As the door flew out, Dry Corpse rushed out of the car, using the door to shield his body.

Su Xiao slightly adjusted his aiming position, confirmed the timing was just right, and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

Air waves spread from the barrel of the Spider Queen, blowing Su Xiao's black hair.

The bullet left the chamber, stirring up layers of air waves.

The moment Dry Corpse landed, a hair-raising sense of crisis appeared.

Crack!

Pale yellow body fluid splashed; Dry Corpse shattered like a water balloon, splashing onto the road.

Seeing this scene through the scope, Su Xiao's brows were tightly locked. Although Dry Corpse was "smashed," no kill notification appeared.

That pool of pale yellow body fluid gradually gathered and rose, eventually forming a human shape.

The cracks on Dry Corpse's skin were more obvious. He turned his head to look at a roof across the street, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"Want to kill me? Wishful thinking..."

Just as Dry Corpse finished speaking, a muffled sound came from the roof across the street.

Before hearing this muffled sound, the 17.36mm bullet had already penetrated Dry Corpse's chest and abdomen. Dry Corpse exploded into a pool of liquid again.

This made Dry Corpse discover one thing: at close range, he felt the bullet pierce his body first, and only then did he hear the gunshot.

With a crack, Dry Corpse, who had exploded into a pool of yellow body fluid, did not recover his form again, and Su Xiao discovered that the situation around him was not right.

There was no screaming or noise within a three-hundred-meter radius. Under normal circumstances, after a shooting incident, the nearby civilians would definitely react.

The current situation was very strange. Within a three-hundred-meter radius of Dry Corpse, all civilians stood in place, motionless.

This was a busy downtown area; there were at least a hundred people within three hundred meters.

Just at this moment, neat and monotonous footsteps came. The nearby civilians actually all gathered toward Dry Corpse. In less than half a minute, a total of 176 civilians were all standing on the road.

These people were dressed differently, their faces were dull, and their heads were lowered.

That pool of pale yellow body fluid on the street surged, and Dry Corpse's body recovered again.

"Kill him."

Dry Corpse raised his withered arm. As he gave the order, those hundred-plus civilians raised their heads at the same time, their eyes staring straight at Su Xiao.

If one looked closely, they would find that the pupils of these civilians were turbid and brownish-yellow, and that pale skin was a sign that only appeared after being dead for a long time.

"Roar!!"

All the civilians let out beast-like roars. These people seemed to have turned into beasts, their muscles bulging, and their fingertips becoming sharp.

More than a hundred civilians charged almost simultaneously, rushed across the road, climbed the vertical walls with their sharp claws, and quickly surrounded the roof where Su Xiao was.

A car drove within three hundred meters of Dry Corpse. The driver was chatting and laughing with his female companion in the passenger seat.

Suddenly, his companion showed a look of pain, her mouth wide open, as if she couldn't breathe.

A moment later, the companion lowered her head and nimbly climbed out of the car. Her pupils had already turned brownish-yellow.

The driver was full of surprise. Suddenly, he also showed a look of pain. A few seconds later, those black pupils turned brownish-yellow.

This man and woman joined those civilians and rushed toward Su Xiao's position.

On the roof, Su Xiao put away the Spider Queen. A mechanical eye flew out from his sleeve; he needed to find out the current situation.

The Apostle's Eye floated in mid-air. Su Xiao didn't probe Dry Corpse's data, but instead probed the data of those civilians.

【Comparing intelligence attributes of both sides... Comparison complete. Our intelligence is 27.5 times that of the enemy. Obtained 100% of the enemy's data.】

Data as follows:

Name: Infected Type 4 (Mutated Dead Body)

Health: 93%

Mana: 20/20

Strength: 32

Agility: 21

Stamina: 35

Intelligence: 2

Charisma: -3

Skill 1: Infected (Passive): No pain, no intelligence, immune to mental control.

Skill 2: Dead Body Virus (Passive): If attacking the enemy's main body and causing a wound, a stamina attribute check will be performed. If the check is not passed, the mutated dead body virus will be infected.

Skill 3: Death (Passive): Except for the head, damage to organs, limbs, etc., cannot completely destroy the infected body.

Skill 4: Mutation (Passive): After becoming an infected body, there is a 3% chance to produce an elite individual.

Hint: The maximum existence time of a mutated dead body is 8 hours.

……

Seeing this data, Su Xiao's brows furrowed. This was simply an enhanced version of the T-virus. If the stamina attribute was low, getting close to Dry Corpse would result in virus infection. This might be an aura-type skill.

A large number of infected bodies climbed onto the roof. These infected bodies were different from slow zombies; they crawled on all fours, their figures were sharp, and they could easily leap several meters away.

More than a hundred infected bodies surrounded Su Xiao. Sensing this scene, a satisfied smile appeared on Dry Corpse's face.

"Daring to snipe me within three hundred meters, very courageous, but equally stupid."

Dry Corpse hooked his fingers, and an infected body with bulging muscles approached Dry Corpse.

This infected body was at least three meters tall, and the bulging muscles all over its body had already torn its clothes.

"Only one elite individual? Luck isn't great."

While speaking, Dry Corpse jumped onto the elite infected body's back. The elite infected body, crawling on all fours, let out a low growl, seemingly dissatisfied.

"Oh? It's a xenogeneic elite individual. No wonder there's only one."

Dry Corpse's palm pressed on the elite infected body's back of the head. Pale yellow liquid seeped into the elite infected body's body. A moment later, the elite infected body, which had some rebellious emotions, stabilized.

Dry Corpse's movements were unhurried. In his view, a sniper surrounded by more than a hundred infected bodies was dead for sure. All he had to do was go to the roof to see if there were any Scarlet Cards.

"Damn it, another No. 5 died. The boss won't blame me, will he?"

Thinking of the boss of the Gentleman Alliance, Dry Corpse's body trembled.

"Shouldn't, this is an accident, probably..."

Just as Dry Corpse was struggling with how to explain it to his boss, a sky-piercing blade sound came from above. A ring-shaped blade glow dissipated, and a large number of severed limbs splashed.

With a thud, an infected body cut into three segments smashed not far from Dry Corpse. This infected body was twitching, and pale blue light flickered at the wound.

"What's going on..."

Zing!

The blade glow slashed from top to bottom. Dry Corpse's pupils contracted to the extreme.
