In the gray grid, there were only two words: Mutated Zombie.
“Sure enough.”
Lu Chuan frowned. Just as he thought, the new type of zombies he had encountered before were mutated zombies, their viruses had mutated, which led to an enhancement of their ability.
Fortunately, the enhancements weren’t overwhelming.
They were slightly stronger than ordinary zombies and would require some skills to defeat.
…
Basement 03 of the biochemical plant was also a warehouse, an empty space.
The empty space was sufficient for future reconstruction.
Don’t underestimate this basement. As compared to the structures above ground, the basement had twice as much space, tens of thousands of square meters. With the defensive capabilities of the biochemical plant, it was the safest fortress.
Lu Chuan reached the second floor.
It used to be an abandoned construction site, full of rusted steel and scattered tools.
But now, it had also transformed into an empty space, the walls made from the same unidentified alloy metal as the first floor. It was like an iron barrel forming the space.
At present, these spaces were useless to Lu Chuan.
As an extension, it didn’t have any functions, it was simply an empty area that could be used as a warehouse.
Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the unidentified glass provided a protection beyond imagination, making this place well-fortified. Lu Chuan was looking at the construction site. There were still zombies wandering around, but they were no threat to the biochemical plant.
“Zombie dogs, dispatch.”
Lu Chuan placed his hand behind him and issued a command.
At a secret exit, five black shadows rushed out onto the construction site with their agile and vigorous speed.
The five zombie dogs were running wildly, much faster than ordinary zombies. With the enhancements from the virus, they were no slower than a world-class sprinter.
More importantly, sprinters had to rest after ten seconds, but the zombie dogs could run for half a day at this speed.
The zombie dogs’ amazing endurance was their biggest advantage.
In a moment, five zombie dogs were standing on top of a pile of steel, their ferocious eyes flashing over the construction site. Their mouths were open, liquid dripping continuously with the expansion and contraction of the tongue.
Under the sun, they shone a crimson red that was extremely chilling.
Lu Chuan’s eyes fell on a zombie. “Attack.”
The five zombie dogs rushed down from the steel pile as soon as they received Lu Chuan’s instructions.
They dashed between the steel, sometimes leaping over obstacles, sometimes dodging or passing under them. The five zombie dogs turned into black shadows, rushing toward the target.
The zombie Lu Chuan chose was a little fat and was wearing a yellow safety helmet on his head. He looked like a foreman.
The speedy approach of the five zombie dogs didn’t bring about any change in the wandering zombie, and he continued to walk about in a rigid manner.
“Roar, roar…”
Sounding like wild beasts, the five zombie dogs leaped, pounced onto the foreman zombie, opened their mouths, and bit down randomly.
The next second, the fat on the foreman zombie was torn off in several large chunks.
The zombie dog’s sharp claws easily cut open the decayed flesh on the foreman zombie, exposing bone.
One zombie dog’s claws slashed open the zombie’s belly. Black intestines and internal organs leaked out and fell to the ground. It was a terrifying and creepy sight.
Lu Chuan: “…”
The urge to retch rushed up his throat, and he almost vomited.
With the holographic projection, Lu Chuan was immersed in the scene, and the aerial view allowed him to see everything clearly.
Lu Chuan, who was from modern times, paled at this bloody, brutal sight.
When attacked by the zombie dogs, the foreman zombie was momentarily taken aback before he reacted. He struggled, twisted his fat body, and grabbed a zombie dog with his arm.
When he twisted, the decaying intestine was dragged along while other internal organs tossed about.
The zombie dogs were agile; they dodged and launched another attack, tearing off a large piece of decaying flesh from his thigh.
The frightening thing about zombie dogs was their speed and agility. Once they had a target, one that wasn’t paying attention, it could easily be bitten or scratched.
The virus’s scariest feature was that, once a victim was injured by a carrier, they would be infected and turn into a zombie after just an hour or two.
In the fight against zombie dogs, many survivors were injured because of their agility.
In the eyes of survivors, zombie dogs were far more threatening than ordinary zombies, and were much more frightening.
The five zombie dogs bit the foreman zombie maniacally.
After just two or three minutes, the foreman zombie fell. He wasn’t dead, but the decaying flesh that used to support him was all bitten off by the zombie dogs, exposing a huge portion of bones.
Lu Chuan touched his chin.
Zombie dogs would definitely be more threatening than ordinary zombies against the survivors.
But they are much weaker against zombies.
If it was an “equipped” zombie with a sharpened mountain knife, he would only need one knife and one second to take down the foreman zombie.
Zombie dogs should be more ideal for scouting and keeping watch.
Lu Chuan figured out the zombie dogs’ key characteristics.
…
In a modern city during the evening, neon lights were shining and the streets were full of traffic and pedestrians.
In comparison, the city in the apocalypse was cold and lifeless, the air still. At night, it would plunge into an endless darkness. Without the moon, there was almost no trace of light.
After enjoying dinner, Lu Chuan rarely had time for a walk on the street.
Uncle Zombie followed Lu Chuan faithfully. Lu Chuan didn’t dare to bring the seductive female nurse out. Without the money to buy her another, more conservative outfit, he wasn’t sure how many perverted wolves would be drawn over when she came out.
Even Lu Chuan couldn’t stand the revealingness, sexiness, and temptation of the seductive female nurse.
If she were an ordinary human, Lu Chuan wouldn’t mind appreciating her, but she was a zombie. Lu Chuan had no desire to appreciate that.
Before he knew it, he had walked to Oasis Yipin.
Previously, for the convenience of his job, Lu Chuan had rented a place near the Oasis Yipin Community.
If he didn’t have the biochemical plant, he might still be a supervisor here.
The occupancy rate wasn’t very high in new communities, so there were only a few specks of lights switched on. In another year or two, it would turn into a lively community, and businesses would form nearby.
“Mmh?”
Lu Chuan, who had wanted to head back, frowned.
Not far away, dozens of people walked out of a food stall.
Zhang Depeng, the person he had a problem with, led the group.
Oasis Yipin had to be at least 70% occupied before someone like Zhang Depeng gave up. Now was the peak period for renovation in Oasis Yipin Community, it was impossible for Zhang Depeng to give up, hence, it was normal to encounter him in the area.
Lu Chuan turned around to leave. He didn’t want to cause trouble at this time.
But…
Under the streetlamp, Zhang Depeng still noticed Lu Chuan.
“Hey hey hey, look who it is!” Zhang Depeng and the others should have eaten here, and just happened to come out.
Even from a distance, he could smell the alcohol coming off them; from the looks of it, they seem to have drunk a lot. Alcohol could boost one’s courage, which made Zhang Depeng forget the ruthlessness displayed by Lu Chuan. Instead, he could only think about the humiliation that Lu Chuan had caused him.
Because of the ruckus caused by Lu Chuan, he almost failed to suppress the community and had become a joke in the circle.
Now, Lu Chuan reappeared without the crazy gang with a mix of young and old people. Under the influence of alcohol, Zhang Depeng became courageous.
There were more than a dozen men with him, all of them Zhang Depeng’s underlings, and some were even present that day.
“Stop him!”
Someone yelled. The drunk group rushed toward Lu Chuan and surrounded him and Uncle Zombie with predatory expressions.
Zhang Depeng slowly walked over and grinned. “Lad, you’re brave. You actually dare to come here. Haha, I heard that you were fired and that made me very happy.”
The smell of alcohol made Lu Chuan frown, and he spoke quietly. “What do you want? Move aside.”
After all, this was a new community, there weren’t many passersby and only a few shops were open. Who would notice what was happening? Even if they noticed it, they wouldn’t dare to say anything.
Seeing Lu Chuan’s indifference, Zhang Depeng was furious. Why was he always so confident?
The more indifferent Lu Chuan was, the more it triggered Zhang Depeng.
Zhang Depeng had seen a lot and even crippled a few people. Who is this lad trying to scare?
The irritated Zhang Depeng flushed, and under the influence of the alcohol, he spat out heavily, “Beat him and cripple his leg.”
