Chapter 518: Part of the black gas's ability (Celebratory boutique addition)

~7 min read 1,348 words

"Bozai, you're pretty bloated. Fine, let me see you show off... Hmm?"

Before Zhang Su finished speaking, a cluster of black mist appeared at the corner of the office building wall. Others couldn't see it because of the dim sky, but only he sank his brows and said gravely: "Don't mess around, it's here!"

Everyone looked toward the opposite side in unison.

Just at this moment, a staggering figure appeared beside the office building. The zombie was a male before death, and his clothes were severely damaged, but it could vaguely be distinguished as a security uniform. Combined with the place where the other party appeared, it could be roughly judged as a night shift security guard at the restaurant.

"How is this thing like the most basic zombie in Plants vs. Zombies? Can't it run?"

"Hey, idiot, run a few steps, hurry, hurry, hahaha..."

Someone looked at the black gas zombie swaying forward and couldn't help but complain, even putting down the weapon in their hand, picking their nose while teasing, without feeling any threat from this zombie at all.

Qi Xiaoshuai had already caught his breath, swallowed his saliva, and pointed to the opposite side: "Just for this ghost thing, I ran back and forth two or three times. Damn, it walks slowly and doesn't follow people. If you run far, you'll lose it. Pure waste zombie!"

Slow speed, poor tracking ability—as a zombie, it was indeed a bit of a waste. It was probably lucky if it could even grab some scraps of meat on the bones, let alone hot food. But could you judge it had no threat just based on these two points?

Obviously not.

The black gas zombie swayed its body left and right, its head trembling on its neck. Compared to those guys who were flying and running, it felt like it was crawling. Plus, shrouded in black mist, in the dim light, it looked like a black slime slowly squirming.

If you had to say where it was powerful, it was just the black mist around its body that made people wary. Putting those things aside, this was just a disabled zombie...

Zhang Su didn't join the others in the commotion and was observing the black gas zombie with his superb vision. It was a pity that after looking for a long time, he really didn't see any abnormality. Just as he was about to speak, the abnormality appeared! A zombie corpse was on the black gas zombie's path. When the black gas approached, he saw that the corpse was actually gently pushed away by the black mist, as if the zombie on the ground wasn't dead and was actively making way for the black gas zombie.

This discovery made Zhang Su's heart move. He didn't understand the specific function of the black mist, but at least he saw some abnormality, which was considered a discovery.

"Brother Su, I think this thing is quite stupid and cute. How about we capture it and let Dr. Fu study it?"

Chen Hanzhou walked to Zhang Su's side and suggested again not to kill it.

"Study?"

If this suggestion were made by anyone else, Zhang Su wouldn't feel anything, but it couldn't be Chen Hanzhou, not Chen Hanzhou at this time.

It wasn't that he trusted what that Sakura woman said so much, but he had had related worries since Chen Hanzhou gained special abilities, worrying about when he would have an abnormality.

If it weren't for this snowfall today, he wouldn't have cared too much even if Chen Hanzhou had some abnormalities. But it was a coincidence that it snowed today, which made people think more.

Zhang Su had many considerations in his heart. In fact, according to common sense, he should indeed capture it alive and bring it back for research, but he just didn't want to fulfill Chen Hanzhou's wish at this time.

He took a deep breath, shook his head slightly, and said: "We don't know how to subdue it. It's too risky to get close rashly. Let's solve it first!"

"Don't rush, don't rush..."

Chen Hanzhou hurriedly waved his hands to signal everyone to wait, then said to Zhang Su: "Brother Su, how about I go up and test its ability? I'll be careful and definitely won't have any problems. Can I?"

Except for Zhang Su, no one saw the black gas pushing away the corpse on the ground; at most, they thought it was kicked away by its legs.

"Can my ass. Can't you see that the black gas is floating and very strange? You can't take risks. Old Tan, disable it first!"

Zhang Su didn't intend to dawdle. Chen Hanzhou was obviously very interested in this zombie. As for where this interest came from, he didn't know for now, but he was determined not to let Chen Hanzhou succeed.

But this zombie was indeed worth studying, so he could try to spare its life first.

"Aye!" Tan Huajun received the order. She didn't have as many questions as Chen Hanzhou. Her former job had long since cultivated her habit of obeying instructions. After hearing the arrangement, she tilted her head to aim, pulled the trigger, and did it all in one go.

*Da. *

The gunshot rang out, and the bullet flew out.

"Disable it" could be interpreted in many ways, but Tan Huajun knew Zhang Su meant to make it lose its mobility, so the bullet flew straight toward the black gas zombie's knee area. No matter how strong a zombie's defense was, the kneecap was fragile. A rifle bullet was enough to destroy it.

Everyone was waiting to see the zombie fall to the ground, but when the gunshot rang out, the scene everyone had imagined didn't appear. Everything was calm; the zombie was still walking, and everyone was staring.

???

"Missed?"

People who weren't in the King of Hell Legion had this doubt in their hearts.

The people in the King of Hell Legion didn't doubt Tan Huajun's marksmanship. They already trusted Sister Fatty's ability very much, especially in such a stable shooting environment just now—how could she miss!

"Holy crap, Brother Su, is this damn thing not afraid of bullets?"

Lu Yubo's expression twisted as he pointed to the opposite side. He believed in his future mother-in-law's ability from the bottom of his heart.

"With those thin arms and legs, a 5.8mm bullet would shred them if it spiraled in..."

"Yeah, how could it be perfectly fine!"

"Look carefully!" Others discussed heatedly. Tachibana Mai-Sakura's eyes were grave, pointing forward: "The black mist around him can push away the corpse on the ground!"

She was the second person after Zhang Su to discover the special function of the black mist.

"Ah? Is it that sci-fi?"

"Holy crap, it seems to be true. I thought he kicked it away."

"Damn, what the hell is this black mist!"

This discovery made the hair on most people's bodies stand up.

Zheng Xinyu looked at Zhang Su with a strange gaze, as if asking: Your vision is so good, it's impossible you didn't see it, right?

Zhang Su didn't speak either. He naturally saw it very clearly. Not only did he see long ago that the black mist could push away the corpse on the ground, but he also saw the bullet stuck in the black mist, penetrating about a foot deep, still spinning slowly!

"Its black gas isn't an intangible body; it's a damn defensive shield!"

Zhang Su spoke with a grave tone, directly silencing the voices of speculation and discussion.

Everyone looked at Zhang Su with shocked eyes, as if asking, really? The black gas zombie didn't care about the discussion of the humans here. It still maintained its unhurried, arrogant pace, moving toward the Le Gou mall bit by bit.

Whether it was true or false was quickly verified. When a Big Guy's corpse was pushed away by the black mist, everyone couldn't help but gasp, because the flame-throwing zombie was nearby, and the air wasn't cold anymore...
