"Hmm?" Zayn had just prepared some dart syringes containing his potent formula, ready to be shot by the sniper. However, a gorilla-like zombie suddenly appears in the next block.
Upon that sight, he decided to test the strong monsters by bringing them into a conflict.
"I need two snipers. Shoot this dart syringe with your rifle, make sure it hits both monsters. That rhino-like monster probably has skin as hard as steel, so you can aim for the eyes." Zayn handed another dart syringe to Steven.
"All right." Steven nodded and ordered his subordinate to shoot next to him. He then prepared his dart sniper gun to target the rhino-like monster's eye.
"???" Grisella was curious about what the soldiers would do now. Still, she would be a good girl and didn't ask unnecessary questions.
"Fire." Steven pulled the trigger of his sniper, releasing the syringe and shooting at the rhino-like monster a few hundred meters down the road. His subordinate also opened fire at almost the same time as him, targeting the gorilla-like zombie in the next block.
*Bam* *Bam*
The air pressure and wind direction changed the direction of the dart syringes, but the snipers had expected that.
"Roars!" The rhino-like monster roared in pain. A syringe pierced its one eye, and the pressure injected a jet-black liquid.
"???" The gorilla-like zombie didn't feel the same pain because the syringe stuck into its back. The black liquid was injected, but the target didn't notice it.
"Put down your weapons and hide. Make sure those monsters won't notice us. They will go into frenzy mode in a few minutes." Zayn spoke in a whisper-like voice while observing the situation of the two monsters with his binoculars.
"!!!" The soldiers immediately took their hiding place, whether it was behind a railing or a wall.
Several minutes later, the jet-black liquid finally showed its effect. It was a potent formula but required at least five minutes to work on high-rank monsters and zombies.
"Graa!"
"Roar!"
The gorilla-like zombie roars in a sudden burst of surging fury. However, the roar of the rhino-like monster in the next block sounded like a defiant warcry.
The gorilla-like zombie rushed to the following block to answer the call of battle.
"Graa!" The gorilla-like zombie dangled between a tree and a street lamp and landed on the road, staring at the rhino-like monster with its blood-shot red eyes.
"Roar!" The rhino-like monster kicked its feet into the asphalt, then rammed into a large truck at the side of the road, sending the fifteen thousand pound vehicle flying towards the gorilla-like zombie.
"!?" The gorilla-like zombie kicked its way and jumped high into the air, past the truck that was hurtling towards it.
The rhino then charged full speed to hit the opponent, but the high-rank zombie caught the rhino's horn.
"Graa!" The gorilla-like zombie roars and musters its full power to throw the rhino.
*Bam!*
The rhino was thrown far away, smashing a building down. However, the rhino immediately charged back in a rage.
The battle between two high-rank monsters became even more tense and fierce because they were almost on the same level of strength.
Zayn was satisfied because his potent frenzy formula had the effect he expected. Even a high-rank zombie would fall into a frenzy if injected with his jet-black liquid formula.
"Let's make this experiment a little more lively. Shoot this towards their battleground, no need to inject it into their bodies. Just aim at the road and make this blue liquid splash around them." Zayn handed a syringe filled with blue liquid to Steven.
"Rogers." Steven inserted that syringe into his sniper, then fired a shot close to the two monsters' battleground.
*Shatter* *Splash*
The syringe hit hard asphalt and broke, splashing blue liquid around.
The distinctive scent of the blue liquid soon spread on the wind. It caused the two monsters crazed even more to attack as they thought their opponent was their delicious meal.
Several zombies and mutated animals soon joined the fray. Zayn performs a few more ranged trials to create a more considerable commotion, leaving the soldiers in awe and amazement.
Zayn only took several liquids to make monsters and zombies fight each other without involving themselves in battle.
Meanwhile, Angie had gone quite far from Zayn's location. She went on her own without anyone noticing her departure as she would hunt for some higher-level targets that caught her attention.
"..." Angie was stalking two human-like high-rank zombies from the top of a building. She watched her target's movements in the building next to the hideout, looking for the right opportunity to strike like a predator.
Her current targets were a man and a woman. They were human at first glance, but upon closer inspection, those two were zombified humans with a decomposition rate below one percent. The zombie virus had evolved a lot in those two high-rank zombies.
Angie's eyes glistened with great interest. She could sense her targets were unique. It made her want to kill them ASAP and take their core seed.
*Swoosh*
The wind was blowing quite hard, but Angie was prepared for her surprise attack. As the male high-rank zombie went near the window, she pointed her finger at him.
He had eye contact for a brief moment with her, but that was the last moment of his life.
*Pew*
The concentrated gravity force penetrated that male high-rank zombie head, leaving a hole that penetrated all the way to the back of the head.
A blue seed floated out from the dead high-rank zombie head. It shot out the window for Angie to catch in one smooth motion.
The male high-rank zombie couldn't put up any resistance. He couldn't even scream or respond. It was only a split second, and he died from a deadly surprise attack.
*Splash* *Splash*
Greenish-red blood spurted out from the dead high-rank zombie's head. The lifeless body fell to the floor with a thud, shocking the female high-rank zombie a lot.
"!?" The female high-rank zombie widened her black eyes when she found her spouse dead. She looked out the window and widened in shock.
Someone wished them to die, and because of that, she rushed to run away from the vicinity as she didn't want to bear the same fate as her spouse.
"..." Angie saw her other target just run away. She thought the female high-rank zombie would be furious and seek revenge, but her guess proved otherwise.
Even so, she just took a deep breath and gave chase. She never let her prey escape when she had set her eyes upon them.
"Haah, huff..." The female high-rank zombie ran through the empty corridor, panting. She wasn't sure about who wished her to die, but the other party was extraordinarily strong.
A powerful mutated zombie was instantly killed in an instant hit, which was definitely not what another high-rank zombie could achieve!
*Pew*
A concentrated gravity force shot toward the female high-rank zombie's head from another corridor. The latter put up a glass-like gust of wind to deflect the attack's trajectory by reflex.
She then continued to run into a narrow room as she was more advantaged in close combat.
"..." Angie was stunned when she saw her shot missed the target. She then rushed in quick pursuit.
Just as she arrived at a room like a warehouse, a noise came from above. Her target swung a large machete at her, aiming at her neck.
*Swoosh*
Angie took advantage of her swift reflex and agility to avoid the slash by moving backward. It barely touched her hair.
However, the female high-rank zombie didn't stop the attack like that.
*Slash* *Slash* *Slash*
A series of slashes were released, creating wind-like blades that shot in various directions. Angie widened her eyes and maneuvered to avoid those sharp wind cutters. She did a flip and glared at her target.
"You deserve to die." The female high-rank zombie muttered in a vengeful tone. She finally saw clearly the form of her spouse's killer. It was just a human girl who had superpowers.
"..." Angie didn't respond, but she moved her hand as if to grab something. She aimed her grasp at her target's head.
Her target allowed her to strike back, though it was only two seconds. However, that was a fatal mistake in a death battle between the predator and the prey.
"Argh!" The female high-rank zombie screamed and slashed through the air again, creating the wind cutters to mutilate that human girl.
However, a tremendous force suddenly squeezed her head and broke it like a watermelon.
*Splash*
Angie rushed to the side to avoid the wind cutter and the blood splash. She destroyed her target's head, but she managed to harvest another blue seed.
*Thud*
The headless body slumped to the ground with a thud.
Angie looked at her target's dead body with her golden feline eyes. Her gaze was so cold and indifferent.
This world was about prey or being preyed upon. She would forever be the apex predator at the top of the food chain. To maintain that, she had to hunt and become stronger, more than anyone else. That way, she would never have the same fate as her prey because she was always the hunter.
"..." Angie washed the two blue seeds with clean water, then tucked them in her cleavage. She then turned around and hurried away as she needed to hunt some more special high-rank zombies for her human as well.
