Chapter 507: When You Gaze into the Abyss, the Abyss Also Gazes into You

"The zombie is dead! The Yama King is invincible in battle!"

Reacting, Zhang Su immediately shouted. His father-in-law had told him to always consider the leader's face when outside.

"So strong!"

Chen Hanzhou stood still, a strange look flashing in his eyes—a truly strange look...

A pale red light flashed across his pupils like a stream of light, just like an iris password lock scanning, and then it vanished. Not to mention others, even he himself didn't notice anything.

*Boom. *

Zhang Su threw the zombie corpse to the side with force, the sound of it falling to the ground being very shocking.

Facing a sturdy zombie nearly half a meter taller than himself, he had also felt fear at the beginning. But after fighting, with the help of the white mist, he could clearly control every move of the zombie. Confidence came from strength. Having mastered the magic weapon to win, he didn't panic in his heart and finally killed it with one blow!

After a fight, he had a further understanding of the sturdy zombie. This big guy had greatly improved in terms of attack power and defense. Its defense couldn't compare to the petrified-skin zombie, but the threat it could cause was much greater than the petrified-skin zombie because it had fewer weaknesses! The fatal point was the same as an ordinary zombie: destroying the brain. But the process to achieve this goal was much more difficult than dealing with ordinary zombies in the past.

In the past, dealing with ordinary zombies, one kick could make it lose its balance and fall, and then attacking the head would solve it. But facing a sturdy zombie, this move not only had no effect but would instead deliver one's head...

Looking at the corpse lying quietly on the ground, Zhang Su had a joy of victory on his face. Killing this zombie with his own hands was more worth rejoicing than using the flame-throwing zombie to kill five earlier. This was not only his personal victory but also a manifestation that human power could still defeat zombies.

Although the road ahead was full of thorns, the victory was still worth celebrating.

"Yama King is invincible in battle, ooh!"

Zheng Xin held her iconic baseball bat, jumped happily to Zhang Su's side, looked at him happily, and helped him tidy up his somewhat messy collar. He would have to accept more people's compliments later, so it was necessary to maintain a good image.

The other companions who rushed up to help also had excited smiles and gathered around the zombie corpse.

"Brother Su, it has to be you. This damn thing was too scary. With one slap, it flattened the car door. If I encountered it alone, I would only have the choice to run!"

Wang Xin kicked the zombie corpse on the ground with lingering fear. The solid skin and flesh tissue didn't look like a human at all, having the texture of hard rubber.

"Any breakthrough?"

Tachibana Maiying looked at Zhang Su earnestly and asked expectantly.

Zhang Su knew Tachibana Maiying was asking about his use of the white mist, and he shook his head regretfully: "Still the same."

The distance hadn't changed at all. His own reaction speed and judgment had improved to a certain extent, but this didn't count as a breakthrough in the white mist.

Tachibana Maiying nodded thoughtfully and said: "It seems that dealing with this guy wasn't difficult for you, and it didn't reach the level of a life-and-death battle. Otherwise, there would definitely be a breakthrough."

She looked forward to seeing Zhang Su's breakthrough again. Regardless of whether Zhang Su admitted it or not, she claimed to have been Zhang Su's master for a period of time, and this was her incomparably proud apprentice.

Zhang Su grinned with a strange expression. Everyone knew that the edge of death could stimulate one's potential, but this method was too dangerous. One careless move and it would be an irreversible disaster. If he could keep winning without breaking through, that would be good too...

"Brother Su, I admire you, I really admire you. Holy shit, you were just like this, like this, too awesome. How did you do it?"

Qi Xiaoshuai gestured a few times, imitating Zhang Su's actions just now, but the movements were deformed and lacked force.

"That's right, that's right, Brother Su, you are too heroic, a god descending to earth!"

"Needless to say, that's a must for my Brother Su!"

Liu Yao and Yang Xin didn't spare their praise. Having witnessed the battle with their own eyes, they knew very well that if it had been them fighting the sturdy zombie, and it had to be a life-and-death struggle, the one lying on the ground would definitely be them.

In a short while, the combatants who had been watching from the sidelines gathered around, their eyes showing undisguised admiration for Zhang Su. Everyone envied the strong, longed for the protection of the strong, and hoped they could become strong themselves.

"Yama King, I, I want to learn from you!"

"That's right, we are too weak. We want to become strong. Next time, we can't be a drag again!"

"Yama Legion is invincible in battle. I must become strong and then join the Yama Legion!"

Many people were emotionally excited, praising the Yama King's strength and the Yama Legion's bravery and fearlessness, and they didn't forget to criticize and review themselves.

After a period of tempering, before this snow, they could handle ordinary zombies with ease. Who knew that just as their self-confidence was gradually expanding, God would give them a solid lesson.

After a snowfall, even when facing ordinary zombies, they needed to be 120% focused. If they encountered this kind of sturdy zombie, unless they used sniper rifles to ambush from afar and bombs, the only thing left was to run away or fill the other party's stomach! "Becoming strong requires a process. It's not just the strength of the body and martial arts; psychological growth is equally important. Today, you didn't flee before the battle, which can be considered a small step forward!"

Zhang Su didn't blame these people for their inner cowardice. People were divided into different levels, and not everyone was as "hacked" as he was. Besides, he had also been afraid at the beginning. Rebuilding civilization required all kinds of people. As long as the situation stabilized, everyone could find a suitable position. Now, they just needed to work hard to stabilize the situation! His gaze swept across everyone's faces, and he suddenly found a strange figure.

Chen Hanzhou was standing in the crowd, but he was staring seriously at the zombie corpse on the ground.

"Little Chen, what did you find?"

Zhang Su saw him looking carefully and asked.

Chen Hanzhou raised his head and found that many people were looking at him. He scratched his head embarrassedly and then said: "Brother Su, do you feel that these few zombies seem to be very interested in it?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the box truck tipped over on the ground.

Thinking was a necessary factor for human progress. Chen Hanzhou's question instantly aroused the thinking of everyone present.

According to past experience, zombie attack targets were generally locked onto humans, especially humans who made noise, who were easily attacked. Recalling the previous scene, several sturdy zombies seemed to be very persistent in attacking the flame-throwing zombie?

"Since Brother Chen said so, I also feel a bit like that."

"Could it be that these guys also know that the flame-throwing zombie is a life threat to them?"

"That can't be, right? Don't tell me zombies can have consciousness. If so, what are we playing for!"

People on the side whispered. Zhang Su heard all these remarks. He was also analyzing, and the conclusion he reached was similar to everyone else's.

No matter from any level, he didn't want to see zombies possess any consciousness. It was best if they only had a simple desire to attack; that was the best zombie to deal with. Once they possessed other thoughts, things would gradually become complicated.

"What magic does the flame-throwing zombie have that can attract them?"

Chen Hanzhou walked to the box truck by himself and stretched out his hands to roast them.

Qi Xiaoshuai stood side by side with Chen Hanzhou and also stretched out his hands to warm them, laughing: "Maybe they are cold too!"

Everyone smiled and stopped thinking, because they couldn't think of an answer just by thinking about it. But there was one person in the crowd whose eyes still carried a thoughtful look, and that was Tachibana Maiying. However, the object of her thinking was not the sturdy zombie on the ground, but Chen Hanzhou in front of the box truck.

"Hey, big brother. Do you think it could be..."

Zhang Su frowned and said: "Could it be that these ghost things think the flame-throwing zombie is their boss, and they all ran over to follow it?"

Zhang Su's mouth twitched: "One by one, the more you say, the more evil it sounds. If zombie habits were so easy to figure out, it would be great... We only know one point now, and that is that this kind of zombie is interested in the flame-throwing zombie, and then we have to protect the flame-throwing zombie well. It's that simple!" Everyone agreed with this point. The power of the flame-throwing zombie was obvious to all. If it weren't for it today, the battle would have been quite tragic, unimaginable.

"Hmm? The snow has stopped..."

Just at this moment, Zhang Su suddenly noticed something different. He looked up at the sky. The dark clouds were still there, but the white snow was gone. Because there were bonfires burning nearby, and the flame-throwing zombie was emitting heat, there was no snow on the ground. But looking at the ground in the distance, he found that about one centimeter of snow had accumulated. Judging from the situation of the clouds, this snow hadn't finished falling at all.

It came suddenly and left strangely...

Chen Hanzhou, who was staring at the box truck, raised his head and looked at the sky. The faint red light in his eyes flickered again. He didn't notice it himself, but he looked at the tipped-over box truck with a bit of nostalgia in his heart and returned to the crowd.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you! He was thinking about why the flame-throwing zombie would attract the sturdy zombie, but he covered up the fact that he was also attracted by the flame-throwing zombie! Tachibana Maiying stood in the crowd. If it weren't for the battle, she would have almost no sense of presence, giving people a feeling of being ethereal and elusive. She was using a suspicious, thoughtful look to gently lock onto Chen Hanzhou.

There were questions in her heart that couldn't be explained, so she moved closer to Chen Hanzhou, hoping to capture the information she wanted more keenly.

These subtle movements were hidden in the crowd, and no one noticed. Everyone's focus was on this sudden and suddenly departing snow.

"The snow isn't big, but it did a lot of things. Ordinary zombies turned into mad dogs, and it also gave birth to this kind of monster!"

Zheng Xin used a baseball bat to poke the sturdy zombie on the ground. The skin and flesh tissue were very solid, not like a human at all. According to Fu Wei's research, the body tissue of these zombies had nothing to do with humans anymore.

"Big brother, you must be the first human in the world to kill this kind of monster. Give it a name so we can call it uniformly in the future."

Zhang Su laughed and suggested. Usually, these things were advocated by Yu Wen. Under long-term influence, he also understood a little bit.

"Right, right, Brother Su, Brother Zhu is right."

"The hero who kills this kind of monster first must have the naming right."

Zhang Su's suggestion immediately triggered a good response. Some people secretly stomped their feet, thinking to themselves why they didn't react and propose such an excellent opinion.

Zhang Su looked at Zhang Su strangely, then looked at the companions around him, grinned, and didn't be humble: "I hope these few belong to individual cases. It's best not to encounter them in the future. If there are still some, call it 'Big Guy', intuitive!"

"Big Guy Zombie, clear and simple, good name, good name!"

"Let's try it. Look, the Big Guy is coming! Calling it like this, everyone knows what the situation is. It's great."

"Brother Su is really capable of both literature and martial arts!"

When there were many people, there were also many sycophants, each of them showing their full skills.

"Speaking of which..."

Zhang Su changed the subject and looked at Liu Yao, who was clapping and saying good: "What the name is is secondary. Old Liu, how many zombies did you guys stuff into this residential complex called Yujing Garden? Just such a small place, and seven Big Guys popped out. Heaven knows if there are any more inside..."

Everyone followed Zhang Su's finger to look at the tattered residential complex sign. The "Yu" in Yujing Garden had long since lost its side radical, the "Jing" only had the "sun" left, and only the "Yuan" was relatively intact. The good Yujing Garden had become "Xie Ri Yuan".

Liu Yao scratched his head somewhat dryly and looked at Ma Xiyu on the side: "Little Ma, do you remember?"

Ma Xiyu frowned and thought for a while, not very sure: "The specific number is unknown, but it definitely doesn't exceed two thousand. Then we killed some one after another, and at most there are still a thousand or so left. Later, we also felt that it was inappropriate to lock all the zombies in Yujing Garden, so we stuffed some into the Wanshu Dike over there."

"Okay, even if there are a thousand zombies in Yujing Garden, assuming the Big Guy zombie is a product of this precipitation enhancement, that is to say, one out of every 130 ordinary zombies. This ratio is not low..."

Zhang Su frowned, calculating silently while tinkering.

"Bad!"

Wang Xin stomped his feet and looked at Zhang Su nervously: "Brother Su, will there be a problem on the mountain?"

"Oh!"

Zhang Su's face stagnated after hearing Wang Xin's words, and he hurriedly said: "Yeah, big brother, there are quite a few zombies locked in that temple. According to what you said, it's possible that a Big Guy will appear!"

"There are cameras watching all the time, and any movement can't escape the eyes of the duty personnel. Many people are equipped with guns, and your wife has bombs in her hands. Besides, the tank and 003 are left at Tianma Island. What do you think can go wrong?"

Zhang Su had thought of the reserve zombies at Tianma Island when he was fighting the first wave of ordinary zombies, but he didn't think there would be any trouble. The combat power on the mountain was not weak at all.

Ordinary zombies were stronger, and maybe there would be small troubles, but it wouldn't cause fatal damage to the camp. Even if a few Big Guy zombies were born, they wouldn't be 003's opponents, let alone colliding with a tank. It was pure bragging! If so many people in the camp didn't even know how to use the ready-made weapons, to be honest, Zhang Su would feel very disappointed.

"That's right, that's right, heh heh, I thought too much, thought too much..."

To put it bluntly, the wife-protecting maniac Zhang Su was most worried about Yu Qing. It was rare that both he and Yu Wen were not by Yu Qing's side, and he was afraid that she would have problems by herself.

*Clap, clap. *

"Come, come, everyone, it's time to clean up the battlefield. First, help straighten the box truck!"

Zhang Su clapped his hands and greeted everyone to get busy.

He couldn't go back to Tianma Island now, and there were still a bunch of things to deal with here.

The snow stopped, but the dark clouds in the sky never dissipated, like a shadow pressing on everyone's hearts.

Just as Zhang Su expected, there was indeed some trouble on Tianma Island, and the movement was not small, but it was far from collapsing. Except for Sister Lian, who was miserable and had already lost her life, only Yu Jiaohua and Guo Fenfang, two of the women's army, were unfortunately bitten. Everyone else was fine.

At this moment, the entrance of the scenic spot was a mess. The archway collapsed, the ticket office disappeared, the wooden pillars were blown up, and broken stones were everywhere. There was a big hole in the cement ground, and the whole situation was like being bombed by a fighter jet! Two tattered zombie corpses lay in the pit, which were the Big Guys Zhang Su had just named. Broken limbs and remains were scattered everywhere, and they had become human puzzles.

"Sister Qing, was the bomb just now mixed with Ascension Original Liquid?"

"Too scary, the earth moved and the mountains shook. There won't be an avalanche, right?"

"Look where there is snow. Still an avalanche, is your brain kicked by a donkey..."

"Don't talk about useless things. Speaking of which, is that monster dead or not?"

The people of Tianma Island hid behind the tank, poking their heads and looking toward the entrance of the scenic spot...

It turned out that after Yu Jiaohua and Guo Fenfang were sent to Cuileng Pavilion, people on the scene began to clean up the battlefield. But just at this time, a *clang* sound came from the direction of the temple in the scenic spot.

Before anyone went to investigate the situation, Mo Qianlan informed everyone through the walkie-talkie that two strange figures appeared at the temple gate, with small heads and big bodies, having a grotesque sense of terror!

When everyone saw the Big Guys through the entrance of the scenic spot, everyone was stunned and immediately realized that those two were mutant zombies!

After Fu Wei received the news, he rushed from the laboratory to the entrance of the scenic spot as if he were driving a Wind Fire Wheel. But before he reached the place, he heard a heaven-shaking explosion, and his head was buzzing.
