Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: The Evolved Form

After finishing his words, Su Mo smoothly flipped from the rooftop to the next building's four-story-high rooftop. His body bent as he landed, and in an instant, he rose and charged toward a zombie with its back to him, taking it down with a single blow.

Suddenly, the remaining three wandering zombies turned around simultaneously, their ferocious eyes fixed on Su Mo, as they all charged at him.

Lan Xi felt her heart jump at this sight, wanting to go help. But at the moment, she decided against it because Su Mo didn't seem to need assistance, directly facing the oncoming threat.

With a swing of his hammer, Su Mo struck the face of the lead zombie. Twisting his body, he delivered a fierce kick to the neck of another. Then, sidestepping to avoid the remaining zombie's attack, he swiftly swung his hammer at the back of its head.

Bang~

The four zombies were taken down by Su Mo in just a few blows.

Lan Xi was so astonished that she felt as if she was watching a movie.

"Let's go."

Su Mo uttered the word indifferently.

"Okay."

Lan Xi quickly followed, knowing foolishly well that if she wanted to live, she had to stick close to Su Mo.

Su Mo burst through the rooftop door and rapidly descended the stairs.

The whole process went very smoothly, and Su Mo ran all the way down to the second floor in one breath. However, at that moment, a crawling zombie, its mouth smeared with fresh blood, lunged at him.

Its speed and strength were far greater than that of a typical zombie, resembling an evolved form.

Su Mo's pupils constricted as he raised the hammer in his hand to block the creature's fanged mouth, but he was overwhelmed by its immense force and knocked down the stairs.

Just as Lan Xi wanted to go up and help, she saw Su Mo curling his right leg, and he delivered a vicious kick.

He sent the entire zombie flying away.

The kicked zombie quickly got up and stared fixedly at Su Mo, its eyes filled with brutal intent.

"Let me help you!"

Lan Xi took out a kitchen knife, ran to Su Mo's side, and said somewhat nervously.

"No need."

Su Mo took the kitchen knife from Lan Xi's hand and threw it with all his might.

Crack!

It hit the zombie's head precisely, splitting it open, and the creature unwillingly fell to the ground.

Su Mo stepped forward to pull out the knife and threw it back to Lan Xi.

"Ah!"

Clang~

Lan Xi was so frightened that she quickly moved aside, fearing that if she didn't catch it, it would be her head splitting open. Once the knife landed on the ground, she hastily picked it up.

By this time, Su Mo had already gone downstairs, and Lan Xi, without time to complain, hurriedly followed.

Soon, the two rushed out of the building, and the moment they emerged,

more than a dozen zombies on the street turned their heads at the sound.

Su Mo didn't pay them any mind, leading Lan Xi toward a small alley on the right. Immediately, a swarm of zombies eagerly followed.

"There are zombies ahead too!"

Lan Xi shouted uneasily.

Within the narrow alley, seven or eight zombies were scattered, gnawing on corpses. Hearing the commotion, they all stopped feasting, lifting their heads toward Su Mo and her.

"Stick close, I'm going to fight through!"

Su Mo's pupils dilated as he spoke fiercely.

```

He either had to fight his way through or be beaten to death, with no other options.

Lan Xi, upon hearing Su Mo's words, felt her fear-ridden heart suddenly calm down. Su Mo's figure offered an incomparably reliable presence, and she felt that all she needed to do was to follow him.

At that moment, the bracelets on Su Mo's and Lan Xi's wrists were constantly updating with notifications.

"Type I Civilization Progress 7%, Survivors: 851,225,511."

....

Meanwhile, in another battlefield at the center of a city full of high-rise ruins, the ground was littered with weapon debris, players' corpses, and the bodies of Alien Species that were three meters tall with lizard-like pointed heads, full of sharp teeth, and sickly white all over, with long tails on their backs ending in jagged, tooth-filled triangle-shaped cuts, staining the whole area red with blood.

In the central area, four slightly larger Alien Species with two tails and circular vents on their chests that held special sparks were surrounding a ten-meter-tall giant egg. The egg's shell grew disgusting hair and secreted a blood-red viscous liquid from its surface.

The four Alien Monsters stood with their chests out, as beams of special energy shot from their chests into the giant egg.

At the same time, the single-tail Alien Species found the corpses of dead players and opened their mouths to suck the Life Force from within. Then, acting like containers, they stored the spark until full and proceeded to the side of the two-tailed Alien Species to release the Life Force to them.

At the forefront of the battlefield, a girl in white Mechanical Armor and silver hair, with cold, icy eyes and an exquisitely beautiful face, knelt on the ground, covered in blood. She struggled to support her body with a silver Alloy Sword stuck in the ground. It seemed she was overexerting and had sustained no small injury.

In front of her lay a seven-meter-tall Alien Species with three tails, motionless on the ground.

At that moment, groups of the single-tail Alien Species menacingly crawled over, their ferocious gazes fixed on the girl ahead as they charged in a frenzy.

The leading Alien Species opened its wide mouth to bite the girl as it drew near.

Just when it looked as if her life was about to end.

Bang~

With a loud boom, the Alien Monster's open mouth and half its head were blown away.

In the distance, on top of a high-rise building, a girl in a leather jacket, with purple hair and a lollipop in her mouth, was taking aim with a heavy sniper rifle. After taking down the target, she shouted excitedly.

"Boss, I've arrived. Team Leader of Squad Seven, Zhao Ying, reporting for duty!"

At the same time, the sound of massive roaring came from the sky as a ZS-13 unmanned vulture helicopter descended from high above. Two black Gatling cannons were revealed, wildly strafing the Alien Species in front of the girl.

Boom boom~~

On the rooftop of a tall building to the right, a dark-haired girl with a holographic controller remotely commanded the unmanned combat helicopter, delivering precise, covering fire.

Through the helicopter's speaker, she declared, "Team Leader of Squad Five, Lin Xiaojia, joining the fight."

Just then, rumble~~

The walls of the damaged ruins shattered as HT-13 Tiger Tanks burst forth, followed by fully armed elite players. A rowdy, burly man led the charge, roaring passionately.

"Team Leader of Squad Three, Chen Meng, joining the fight!!!"

The girl stood up, raised her Alloy Sword, and commanded with a heroic air, "Kill!"

...

------------------------------------------------

Within the narrow streets, Su Mo was running wildly with Lan Xi in tow, pursued closely by a horde of Zombies.

"Those Zombies behind us are catching up, how much further?"

Lan Xi's heart was practically in her throat, afraid to deny her fear was to lie.

"Just around the corner and we'll reach the security company," Su Mo responded, nerves taut.

However, just as the two of them rounded the corner, Lan Xi's face fell in despair. Ahead, three bulky, highly mutated Zombies were sprawled across their path, their thick skin and extraordinary Life Force clearly indicating they were not easily killed without the right Weaponry.

"What do we do?"
