Chapter 29: Let Me Do an Experiment First!
"F**K!!"
Upon seeing his companion abandon him and flee, the young black man yelled out in shock and anger.
Then, a more bizarre action followed. The guy actually pulled out a handgun from his pocket, but instead of aiming at the zombie, he fired repeatedly in the direction his companion had fled.
"Bang, bang, bang..." He emptied the magazine.
Chen Ye was utterly speechless watching this. What kind of thought process leads someone to waste all their bullets on their companion at a time like this? It was foolishness to the extreme.
Now that the magazine was empty, how was he going to fight the zombies? Although bullets were practically useless against zombies, they could at least slow them down a bit, buying some time for survival.
But now, having failed to hit his fleeing companion, who had already disappeared from sight, and with the black youth's limbs stiffened from the poison, impeding his movement, he was left behind to await his death.
At this moment, the zombie had already approached the black man, looking down at its prey with its gaping, bloodied maw.
"Sh*t, sh*t..." The black youth screamed in terror, rolling and crawling backwards.
However, at this stage, without a miracle, his fate was already sealed...
Chen Ye and Tang Zichen were hiding behind a large tree, watching all this.
Neither of them thought about using this opportunity to escape. Their main purpose for coming to this secret realm was to hunt zombies, so they certainly wouldn't flee just because the zombies looked terrifying.
In fact, after observing the zombie for a while, Chen Ye no longer found it that scary.
Of course, his confidence stemmed from the immense power within his body.
"&*%¥@hiv@#¥…" At this point, the black youth shouted something at the zombie.
Chen Ye didn't understand and quietly asked Tang Zichen, "What did that guy just say?"
Tang Zichen, true to her reputation as a top student with knowledge of English, calmly replied, "He said his private life was messy, and he had already been infected with HIV and syphilis. If the jumping zombie eats him, it would also get infected."
Chen Ye: "..."
Clearly, the zombie didn't care about the black youth's threats.
"Ahh!!" Accompanied by a scream, the scene turned extremely bloody. The zombie had bitten into the black youth's neck, burying its head and drinking blood greedily.
Soon, the black youth, due to excessive blood loss, turned pale from his original dark complexion. His eyes gradually lost their vitality...
Seeing this, Chen Ye looked towards Tang Zichen beside him. Her profile was very beautiful, and she maintained her calm throughout, showing no intention to intervene or rescue, nor did she appear frightened.
Chen Ye let out a sigh of relief. He was worried that she might have a compassionate heart and couldn't bear to watch, potentially intervening to rescue.
But it seemed that Tang Zichen was calmer than he had thought.
Sensing Chen Ye's gaze, Tang Zichen, without turning her head, said, "You shouldn't be looking at me. This is the process of the jumping zombie hunting. It's best to remember it in your mind for future precautions."
Chen Ye silently praised her in his mind. She was cool-headed! But he didn't need to worry.
The way this zombie bit people was just like in the movies. It first grabbed its prey's shoulders with both hands to immobilize them, and then it would bite.
He couldn't help but notice a BUG! Usually, the zombies' arms appeared stiff and straight, as if they couldn't bend, but as soon as they grabbed a person, they suddenly became flexible...
Before long, the black youth turned into a corpse. A mummy!
The zombie had sucked all the blood from his body. Apparently, the zombie was so starved that after draining a strong young man, it wasn't satisfied. Dropping the dried-up corpse, it started sniffing around again.
Very soon.
The zombie's crimson eyes turned towards the hiding spot of Chen Ye and Tang Zichen, seemingly having detected them.
Upon noticing this, Tang Zichen whispered, "The teacher was right; the jumping zombie's nose is indeed very sensitive and can smell the scent of humans."
Chen Ye didn't correct her and asked, "It has discovered us. Can you handle it?"
"Should be no problem!"
Tang Zichen appeared very confident.
After saying this, she stood up, calmly facing the zombie.
Chen Ye stood aside, ready to watch the show.
When the zombie saw Tang Zichen, it bared its teeth and growled lowly, leaping towards her.
Tang Zichen was also swift. She threw two darts from her hands instantly.
At the same time, a green glow emanated from her body.
Telekinesis activated.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The two darts, controlled by telekinesis, whistled through the air, one hitting the zombie's forehead and the other its throat.
Incredibly precise!
It was evident that Tang Zichen's hard training over the past month had not been in vain.
Her control over the darts had reached a level of mastery.
However, the zombie, despite being hit by these two strikes, just howled and continued to pounce towards Tang Zichen.
It seemed to be largely unaffected.
Tang Zichen frowned.
Although Teacher Liu had said that jumping zombies were hard to kill, she didn't expect them to be this tough.
At school, Tang Zichen had tested her telekinetically controlled darts and found they could pierce through 5CM thick steel plates. But they couldn't penetrate the zombie's head.
Now, the two darts were stuck in the zombie, unable to be retrieved.
Her first attack had failed.
Anyone with a weaker mentality might have started to feel fear and hesitation.
However, Tang Zichen's beautiful face quickly regained its calmness.
She then took out another two darts from her waist.
She had brought three pairs of alloy darts in total, six in all, each pair different.
This time, Tang Zichen took out disc-shaped alloy darts, with very sharp edges and serrated gears.
Then, her body shone brightly with green light...
...
What followed was like watching a perfect display of dart throwing!
The two disc-shaped darts, under Tang Zichen's telekinetic control, traced incredible flight paths, repeatedly slicing through the zombie's arms and legs.
"Puff! Puff! Puff..."
The sound of flesh being cut continuously echoed.
Tang Zichen was smart.
Seeing that she couldn't kill the zombie directly with the darts, she chose to first disable its mobility.
It was a successful strategy.
Before long, under the cutting of the sharp darts, the zombie was finally dismembered. Its limbs and head were all removed by Tang Zichen.
The sharpness of the alloy darts played a significant role.
Additionally, the zombies in this secret realm were of a lower level, belonging to the most common type...
Soon, the zombie was dismembered. Although it wasn't dead, it was immobilized.
And Tang Zichen, from beginning to end, stood in her original spot, not moving an inch.
The zombie couldn't even get close to her.
The advantage of a mage was vividly displayed in this moment.
Very cool! Although the green glow that appeared when she released telekinesis wasn't very appealing...
The whole body glowing green could evoke unpleasant associations.
Anyway, Chen Ye didn't envy her at all.
"Chen Ye, burn it with fire!" Tang Zichen said.
Her tone seemed somewhat weary.
It seemed that the previous attack had significantly drained her mental energy.
"Wait a moment."
Chen Ye took out some bottles and jars from his box.
"Let me do an experiment first!"
