The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

"Don't treat it like a game."

Chen Feng drew his sword, his body tense like a drawn bow: "Don't forget our mission!"

"clear."

The group exchanged a tactical hand signal.

Zhao Yunfeng flashed past from the side like a cheetah.

Using the ruins as cover, Xiao Yun silently crept up behind the zombie.

"superior!"

Chen Feng gave the order.

Xiao Yun suddenly attacked, thrusting his dagger straight at the back of the zombie's neck.

puff!

The dagger hit its mark precisely.

But the expected smooth, tofu-like texture did not materialize.

The knife tip pierced two inches but could not go any further, as if it were stuck in a hard rock.

"roar--!"

The zombie let out a hoarse roar, turned around abruptly, its eyeball hanging on its face thrashing wildly, and its withered claws, carrying a foul stench, reached for Xiao Yun's throat.

The speed is astonishing!

"Be careful!"

Xiao Yun reacted extremely quickly, kicking the zombie in the waist and using the momentum to roll backward.

stab.

The collar of his combat uniform was ripped open, and he was nearly injured.

"So hard?!" Xiao Yun exclaimed in surprise.

Although his dagger wasn't a rented weapon, it was still made of steel, yet it couldn't even pierce his neck.

"Is this what Director Chi meant by... 100% true?"

The density of this monster's bones is simply outrageous!

"Don't just stand there! Attack together!"

Chen Feng roared, grabbed his knife with both hands, and charged forward from the front.

If you can't pierce it, then cut it!

A powerful slash was aimed at the zombie's neck, but the zombie dodged it, and the blow ended up hitting its shoulder instead.

Click.

The sound of the collarbone breaking was clearly audible, and dark blood spurted out.

But the zombie seemed to feel no pain; instead, it became even more ferocious, opening its massive, fang-filled mouth to bite Chen Feng.

"Damn it! Doesn't this monster freeze?" Chen Feng shouted angrily.

"Zombies don't feel pain unless you kill them!"

Zhou Jian swung the steel pipe and smashed it hard into the zombie's knee.

boom!

The blow was powerful and heavy, directly knocking the zombie to its knees.

"Hold it down!"

Lei Yue threw down his gun and charged forward like a bull, knocking the zombie to the ground and locking its arms tightly.

The others rushed forward.

Some were pressing down on the legs, others were locking the throat.

Ten elite special forces soldiers actually used a full set of grappling and fighting techniques to deal with a single zombie.

"Captain! This thing is incredibly powerful!"

Lei Yue's face turned bright red, and the veins on his arms bulged.

The shriveled monster beneath him was actually stronger than him, and in its frantic struggle, it almost overturned him.

"Behead him!"

Qin Feng shouted from the side.

Without hesitation, Chen Feng gripped the knife with both hands, aimed it at the zombie's neck, and slashed down with all his might.

puff!

Black blood splattered.

A hideous head rolled to the side, the headless body twitched a few times, and finally stopped moving.

"Huff... huff..."

Everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

It was just a brief encounter, but it made them feel more tired than running a 10-kilometer trail run.

"Is this supposed to be a beginner monster?"

Zhou Jian wiped the black blood from his face, looked at the steel pipe bent at a ninety-degree angle in his hand, and said with a look of utter disbelief, "Was the difficulty level set up wrong?"

"It's not a matter of difficulty."

Chen Feng wiped the blood from the blade, his expression grave: "It's about authenticity."

"The monsters here don't have health bars, weakness indicators, or freeze when attacked."

"Their bone density and muscle strength are completely in line with biological logic, and are even... stronger."

"This is no game."

Gao Yuan checked Xiao Yun's neck and thankfully found no injury: "This is practically survival in another world."

"Mission accomplished."

Qin Feng kicked the headless corpse on the ground: "How are we going to take it back? What about the system inventory?"

Everyone looked at each other.

There is no backpack.

There is no one-click pickup.

"Carry it back," Chen Feng said succinctly.

"Huh?" Zhou Jian was dumbfounded: "This thing stinks like it's been soaking in a septic tank for three years, and we still have to carry it?"

"You can choose to drag it out."

Chen Feng sheathed his sword and grabbed one of the zombie's legs: "Stop talking nonsense and get out of here. There was quite a commotion just now, and I have a bad feeling about it."

Before he could finish speaking...

A mournful roar suddenly came from afar.

This then seemed to trigger a chain reaction.

Roar!Roar!Roar!

From all directions, the ruins echoed with chilling roars.

The ground began to tremble slightly.

Qin Feng's expression changed, and he quickly climbed up a section of broken wall, gazing into the distance.

The next second, he jumped down, his face turning pale.

"run!"

"Run!!"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Jian was still in a daze.

"A horde of zombies! At least several hundred! They're rushing this way!" Qin Feng's voice changed.

Hundreds?!

That one almost caused them to lose their lives; imagine if there were hundreds...

"Take the bodies! Retreat! Back to the general store!"

Chen Feng made a quick decision, tossing the headless corpse to Lei Yue, the strongest man in the group: "Lei, carry it! The rest of you cover us! Run!"

Lei Yue didn't hesitate; he hoisted the corpse onto his shoulder as if carrying a load of rice and ran away.

Rumble—!!

The footsteps behind me grew closer and closer, like a thousand horses galloping.

Everyone turned around and looked.

Amidst the billowing dust, countless dark figures surged forth like a tide.

Some crawled on the ground, some jumped on the walls, each with a ferocious face, baring their teeth and brandishing their claws. The scene was a hundred times more shocking than any zombie movie.

"Holy shit!"

Zhou Jian yelled in disbelief, wishing he had more legs: "Are the game designers crazy?! Making such a big deal out of the beginner quests?!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Save your energy for running away!"

Chen Feng ran while looking back.

Those monsters were extremely fast, especially several of the four-limbed mutants, which were less than fifty meters away from them.

"Lei Zi, is this any good?"

"A man can't say no!"

Lei Yue gritted his teeth, carrying the more than 100-pound corpse, and managed to run at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

It feels like my lungs are on fire.

My legs felt like they were filled with lead.

This extreme physiological response made everyone truly feel the approach of death.

Ahead, the inconspicuous grocery store finally came into view.

That dilapidated glass door, at that moment, seemed like the gates to heaven to them.

"We're here! Almost there!"

Qin Feng shouted.

Two hundred meters.

150 meters.

The stench of blood was already wafting up to the back of my neck.

"They're inside!"

Zhao Yunfeng, who was at the forefront, slid in and rushed directly into the open space in front of the shop.

Next came Xiao Yun, Gao Yuan...

Lei Yue carried the corpse like an out-of-control tank, crashing across that invisible boundary.

Finally, it was Chen Feng and Zhou Jian who covered the rear.

The two practically tumbled and crawled into the area.

call--!

Just as they rushed into the vicinity of the grocery store, the overwhelming roar behind them abruptly stopped.

The zombies that were chasing them frantically seemed to have run into an invisible wall.

The zombie at the very front couldn't stop its momentum. Its face was pressed against the invisible wall and deformed. Its black fingernails scratched in the void, making a teeth-grinding friction sound, but it still couldn't cross the line.

Hundreds of zombies crowded outside that invisible circle, layer upon layer, yet could only rage helplessly.
