Chapter 1909 Special Class Zombie
"How's the Grey Bears doing?" Jin yawned as he finally finished the entire four themes for his Martial Artist Stadium and also sent an email to the Royal Zodiacs asking whether items were permitted or not.
"They had encountered a special zombie on their way to Beijing." The System stated and Jin asked if he could take a break to see how they were fighting.
"The System believed the special class zombie should not be too much of a threat to the Grey Bears." The System replied (what it meant was it was nothing worth watching as the Grey Bears could easily obliterate the special class zombie if they went full power).
"Just show it to me... Won't it just be a quick break if you let me watch this and I continue creating the dungeon instance for the sports portion?" Jin asked, and the System finally relented, showing Jin the magic eye that the System had deployed to literally keep an eye on the Grey Bears as they explore this new world.
The special class zombie stood there while the Grey Bears Squad took positions to the best of their abilities without waking any more zombies around the area. However, it seemed that the special class zombie was more perceptive to the intruders than the regular class zombies who were pacing around mindlessly.
It roared, and that spurred the Grey Bears to take action immediately. All five of them immediately rushed into the vicinity of the special class zombie to finally come face to face with its appearance rather than just a signal from their sensors.
It was without a doubt grotesque, as the special class zombie was made up of not just human parts but also animal parts. An abomination of a human that was two metres tall with a huge arm that was too heavy for it to carry around as it was mish mashed with various 'hands' from other regular class zombies however, what they did not expect was that those hands were the ones to coordinate and push itself up from the road.
Using its coordinated strength as well as its abomination traits, the special class zombie was able to bounce out of the streets and flee towards Diaz with its hand extended. There was no way Diaz was able to evade the attack, but at the same time, the Grey Bears were glad that they had chosen her first. Surely, it was mainly because she was the nearest to the special class zombie but as much as the Grey Bear did not know the special class zombie capabilities, so did the latter as well.
Thus, when it grabbed onto Diaz, it did not expect that the Gunzerker had retaliated with multiple shots into its arm, causing the special class zombie to wring in pain and try to squeeze and kill Diaz. However, the more the abomination tried to use its hand to apply pressure against Diaz, the stronger the retaliation was, with shotgun bullets being shot out from her entire body.
Eventually, the abomination gave up and released Diaz as the rest rushed in to stab their sword into the special class zombie. However all of them knew that it was also a lose lose situation for everyone, mainly due to the fact that Diaz had used her bullets in her body. Unlike the rifles that they were holding, the shotgun shells and bullets were all standard issued ammunition. Therefore, all of the retaliation it had caused caused the firing of bullets to echo repeatedly, breaking the silence of the night.
They knew it was an inevitable reaction since it was either Diaz got squashed by the special class zombie or the current situation that they were in. However, these simultaneous strikes by the remaining four Mechanoids was sufficient to cut the head away, causing the zombie body to drop on the ground lifelessly and unable to continue with its carefree life.
"We have to get out of here as soon as possible." Yinn said, and the rest agreed. They might be able to get away with their prototype rollerblades, but with the current development of zombies starting to surround them, they would not have enough speed or space to move out of the way.
Hence, the conventional 'two legs' was their only option though they were lucky to be Mechanoids since their two legs can leap and jump with the help of the abandoned cars around the highway. All of them stopped engaging against the zombies and picked their rifles up. They believed that if they were to engage with them in a physical combat, they would be slowed down significantly.
"Fire only when necessary." Yinn said and they started to move while Click picked up a controller that had been attached at the side of her waist. She instantly turned it on and far behind them, there was loud music playing with colourful lights illuminated the highway. It was one of the many distractions that she had spent time creating when they were strolling through the Great Wall of China.
The decoy was made out of spare parts, and was later attached with basic speakers so that it played loud music and displayed shoddy disco lights. Yet for such a cheap stake decoy, it had proven to be useful to get the zombies to run for it.
Not to mention, the Mechanoids were not made from flesh and they did not have the scent of humans. With the mass of zombies attempting to move through the highway, the squad's footsteps were almost negligible that they were able to slither away from the decoy as much as they could.
However, they did not expect another special class zombie within them until Tellie who had been continuously scanning ahead, saw it with her Surest of Eyes' abilities. It was as if when Tellie tried to inspect her closer, she could feel the special class zombie staring back at her.
It did not take long for it to announce the location of the Grey Bear Squad to the zombies and while the decoy was still active, luring a fair bit of zombies, the ones closest to the Grey Bear Squad turned their heads.
"Wow, these special class zombies are just annoying as fuck." Click commented as she removed a weapon from her storage ring. "I take care of the back. You guys handle the front."
"Roger that." Yinn nodded and saw the big ass tank of gasoline Click placed on the ground, knowing that it would be a waste of time to think of helping their squad's combat engineer. The rest also trusted her and had their sights set on the new special class zombie.
It had wings behind its back, but instead of using them, a huge eagle zombie detached itself from the special class zombie and flew towards them. Tellie did not hesitate to take action and shot the eagle zombie using her chi power rifle. It was silent compared to the commotion that was affecting them, killing the eagle zombie even before it could be within a hundred metre radius of the Grey Bear Squad.
Naturally, the special class zombie howled in pain, but it did not stop there. Instead of an eagle zombie, it started to spawn raven zombies, using quantities to annihilate the Grey Bears. However, Tellie smiled as she could finally try the Surest of Eye's abilities even more in depth.
Seeing how Tellie would be able to control the air, Yinn had called upon Page and Diaz to rush for the special class zombies that were ahead of them. While Yinn did use the word rushed, it was more like moving close enough so that their shots would not miss since the chi enhanced bullets were of limited quantities and they did not wish to waste them if possible.
So, they moved closer with swords and only when they believed they had a clear enough shot, they take it. The shots went through, but it was not sufficient to kill the special class zombie as they could see that the abomination was smart enough to not be in the open and attempted to move away from the Grey Bear Squad.
However, the Mechanoids had already tagged her, and despite her attempt to hide within the crowd, there was no way they could get away from her. All that matters is the time needed to reach her as Tellie deals with the Ravens.
Yet, that eventually did not pose a problem as well since Tellie had utilised the Surest of Eyes' abilities, able to identify the flight patterns of those raven zombies. And instead of using a chi enhanced bullet, she unloaded them and used a unique bullet that was sold in single quantities from the weapons instance.
"You know how rockets could carry mini rockets?" Bai Wan told Tellie when she asked what was so interesting about that particular bullet. "Well, this bullet is currently carrying mini bullets too. While doing some minor chi manipulation, you can send it flying off to where you want. The only disadvantage of this is that its too weak to be used against armoured targets. But if you are targeting numerous unarmoured targets, this is your go to guy."
And as much as Tellie wants to believe in Bai Wan's description, the only truth she believed in was the evidence. So, as the Grey Bear Sniper pressed onto the trigger and imbued it with a little bit of chi, she saw the bullet flew out of her barrel and split into multiple pieces immediately. All of the Raven zombies that had been targeted were taken out instantly.
Hence, with the skies cleared of vermin, the remaining Grey Bears could pursue without any worries.
