Chapter 491 - 250: Search
In just a moment, zombies charged out. Unfortunately, they were too hasty—only two managed to get through before the small iron door was jammed shut by three other zombies, crushing them to death. At this time, Lin Wu and the others remained calm, easily dealing with the zombies, watching what unfolded before them like a dramatic scene. That is, until a zombie was squeezed out and then a tidal wave of zombies came at them.
Although these were all ordinary zombies, and their numbers weren’t exactly overwhelming, they seemed more ferocious than before the update. Lin Wu quickly spotted the issue. Previously, zombies basically had the same movements, but those after the update were different—some zombies ran faster, some shouted louder. Most importantly, they didn’t rest after a sprint; they just kept running until they dropped dead.
This shockwave of a horde caught the Doomsday Fortress survivors off guard, even for Maya who wielded a giant 40-meter blade, she couldn’t withstand it. What’s more outrageous was that the zombies started diving to the ground to bite at her ankles.
"Run!"
Maya kicked away the zombie on her left leg and used her shoulder to shove off another, leading the trio in a desperate sprint. Lin Wu ran the fastest. Seeing the zombie horde hot on their heels, he took out a Molotov Cocktail, lit it, and threw it behind Maya. The flames roared to life, but the zombies didn’t hesitate to charge through the inferno, catching fire. They ran a few more meters before falling to the ground, turned to charred corpses. The wind swept away their remains as if they had never existed.
As the flames died out, five zombies were still standing, but the survivors each took one down with ease.
Afterwards, everyone was shaken.
They had checked on the crops after the summer update, studied the base, and encountered NPCs, but they had never thought the zombies would be updated as well. No wonder the density of Mutant Zombies had decreased, a horde of just over twenty ordinary zombies was already a significant threat to four players.
