Without the protection of a school bus, Ethan can only lead the others in a circle, in order to avoid the dense zombies in the downtown section. Heading towards Green Shade Street in Jiangnan district.
The 4 people walking in remote sections were easily able to deal with the scattered zombies.
With the help of Ethan, William successfully challenged a zombie. He finally had the courage to fight the zombie in close combat.
They cautiously killed dozens of zombies while heading to Green Shade Street.
Green Shade Street, the area was in the outskirts, so there were not many zombies. They successfully made it to the showroom of Volvo.
In front of the shop, there were three big blue Volvo trucks and many cars of different types.
A sword cut off the head of the uniform wearing zombie. Ethan quickly searched in the pockets of a zombie and found a bunch of car keys.
"Are we taking the 3 vehicles?" Luke said to Ethan. They had passed the obstacle and found the keys to 3 trucks.
Ethan shook his head and said: "Those trucks are top-notch, fueled by diesel. It's a bummer we're short on drivers, though—we can only take one truck at the moment.
After getting on the truck, William sat in the driver's seat and asked Ethan: "Where do we go now?"
Ethan thought for a moment, and said: "Go to Xing Ning Road, Lei Jiang Bridge!"
Hearing Ethan's words, William looked shocked: "We have to go through the mountain pass to get to XingNing Road of Lei Jiang Bridge. But that place is the shopping district of Lei Jiang City. The zombies there will be dozens of times more than elsewhere! Ethan, do you really want to go to that place?"
"That's right!" Ethan said with a deep voice.
"I understand!" William gritted his teeth, turned the truck around and headed toward the Lei Jiang Bridge.
There were broken vehicles everywhere on top of Lei Jiang Bridge, even the guard rails were smashed. The whole bridge was blocked by vehicles, with the zombies wandering through lanes.
This was a bustling shopping district, and the streets have been blocked by abandoned vehicles. Only those streets that are not bustling will have little traffic. When the world changed, there were a lot of people stuck in traffic, so they were bitten by zombies.
On the other side of Lei Jiang Bride was the city's most bustling commercial district; where every Sunday more than 10 thousand people gathered to shop and sightsee.
The most prosperous district of Lei Jiang City, was now the city's most dangerous area.
They had arrived at Lei Jiang Bridge. Ethan saw that on the bridge, there were so many zombies wandering around.
Sitting in the truck, Ethan looked at the end of the bridge on the other side.
He saw that at the end of the bridge, there stood an extremely bizarre gate that was emitting continuous particles of light. There were four figures guarding in front of that bizarre gate. Those four figures had a long tail, quadruped, dark brown body, and 2 meters in length with an ugly and ferocious humanoid look.
"Level 5 Mini Boss, Hunter Type 1. This is being eroded by the virus infection, taking another path of evolution. They only have survival instinct left. Oppressive fighting instincts, speed and power are without flaw. Have Skills: Viral Infections."
As if they were alerted by the engine sounds, the Hunter that was lying on the floor eating a zombie, raised its head. Then quickly abandoning its food, dashing towards Ethan's team.
The four Hunters were extremely keen, speeding through the vehicle wreckage like a cheetah. Jumping over the group of zombies, their speed was extremely alarming and coupled with their extreme strength each step got them a few metres closer, wildly heading towards Ethan's team.
"Reverse!" Ethan's face became pale, and shouted toward William.
William, without replying, immediately turned the truck around and stepped on the gas pedal, fleeing toward the rear with urgency.
The Volvo truck knocked away all the zombies that were blocking its way, fleeing far away.
The four Hunters were in hot pursuit from the rear. After chasing out of the bridge, two Hunters stopped, and one returned to guarding the gate. While the other was guarding the entrance of the bridge. The remaining two Hunters were like cheetahs, chasing after Ethan's team.
The two hunters are indeed a Level 5 Mini Boss, under their full speed, it was above the maximum speed of 80 km/h of the Volvo truck which was continuously ramming into zombies further slowing down.
Little by little the two Hunters constantly got closer to the Volvo truck.
"What now? Ethan?" William asked Ethan with a pale face and cold sweat, after looking at the two Hunters in the rear view mirror. This was the first time that he had seen a monster's speed that was faster than a vehicle. And doesn't even look like a speed type L1 zombie. He instinctively felt how terrifying the two Hunters were. He was definitely no match for them.
"Faster!" Ethan said in a deep voice.
William nodded, and immediately drove toward the highway.
"It's over!" William, his face turned white with despair and thought. As they had just gotten near the highway, and saw the condition of it.
The highway was crowded with all kinds of vehicles, firmly blocking the highway. Apparently when the world changed, most of the drivers wanted to escape using the highway, but did not think that they would get stuck in there as well.
The Volvo truck simply can not get through the blocked highway fast enough to escape from the hunter zombies.
Ethan's eyes flashed a touch of coldness and said: "Stop! Get ready to fight."
William knows that the Hunter's speed was faster than the truck' speed. They simply could not escape. He gritted his teeth and immediately stopped the truck.
"Use the guns! Do not use the novice club!" Ethan took off the Type 79 submachine gun from his chest, then jumped off the truck. Facing the Level 5 Mini Boss Hunter, using the novice club in close combat is simply seeking death. This time when they went to look for a vehicle, each person was carrying a Type 79 submachine gun and six magazines.
At this point it is life and death. Even though William did not have the courage, he still took the Type 79 submachine gun off his chest, and jumped off the truck. Then walked to Ethan's side. Only by standing next to Ethan, did it give him some courage.
Luke and Grace also quickly jumped off the truck, holding tightly to the Type 79 submachine gun.
The speed of the two Hunters was very fast, in a blink, they were only 50 metres away.
"Fire!" Ethan roared loudly, releasing all his fear, and pulled the trigger. Shooting wildly at the two Hunters.
William, Luke, and Grace at the same time pulled the trigger and shot at the two hunters.
A barrage of bullets flying, even though their shooting skills are extremely bad, but with the dense barrage of bullets, it was able to hit the Hunter's body. The bullet made a hole in the Hunter's body, black blood flowing out. Because the Hunter's speed was too fast, the bullet entered their bodies and exited out the back.
With bullets going through the body, if it was ordinary creatures, it would have slumped to the ground by now. The two Hunters were very sharp, and jumped to the side. The two Hunters were completely different from the normal zombies. They immediately made the motion to evade, dodging to the side, executing irregular evasive moments.
Even Hunters, if their brains were hit by bullets and destroyed, they too will die. Also if their joints were hit by bullets, their movements would also be affected.
Their shooting was not accurate, and the two Hunters were able to dodge with some difficulty. With their very high speed, Ethan's team simply can not beat them.
The 20 round cartridge of ammunition was soon empty. Taking advantage of the four people when changing the cartridges, the two Hunters rushed towards them like a cheetah.
Without any hesitation, Ethan activated the Shadow Step skill, his speed suddenly soared. He rushed forward like an arrow, slashing at the Hunter's head.
30 points in Agility had made Ethan's speed extremely frightening. Almost instantaneously, Ethan's sword appeared before the Hunter's head.
At this moment, a tongue like a bullet shot from the Hunter, hitting Ethan's sword. It knocked the sword aside, causing the sword to cut the shoulders of the hunters. A metallic sound rang out, and the sword was embedded in the Hunter's shoulder bone.
The Hunter immediately opened its bloody mouth. It's tongue shot towards Ethan's face like a bullet.
At the same time, Draugr charged forward. Swinging its axe like a whirlwind, striking down on the Hunter's tongue that was attacking Ethan. Cutting the head hunter's tongue into two parts, foul blood splattering everywhere.
At the same time, Grace also activated her Level 2 High Speed Movement skill, and with the sword, slashed at the Hunter's body. The sharp sword cut through the Hunter's skin and embedded in its bones, but it is unable to cut through.
"Cut it off!" Ethan roared, and used all his strength to press down on the sword. Cutting off the Hunter's right paw with the sharp sword.
When the Hunter's right paw was cut off, it swung its tail heavily, smashing Luke in the chest.
Luke was sent flying, hitting the top of the truck. He spewed a mouthful of blood, and had several broken ribs. He had completely lost his fighting capability.
The other Hunter rushed towards Ethan, and with a lightning fast claw, grabbing at Ethan.
The Hunter's speed was too terrifying, Ethan could only abandon the sword. Then with his right hand grabbing the Hunter's right claw.
The Hunter's right claw closed shut. The terrifying power of the gripped bone cracking sound to issue from Ethan's right hand. If Ethan did not wear the 2nd Degree Protective Garment, he would already be infected.
Taking advantage of Ethan sealing the attack of the Hunter for a moment, Draugr swung his axe like a tornado, cutting into the head of the Hunter.
Foul blood splashing everywhere, the Hunter's head was instantly cut off, and sent flying. The headless Hunter's body fell to the floor, when suddenly a blue treasure box, three white treasure boxes, a precious skill book, and 200 Survival Coin burst out. A big ball of white light flew into Draugr, causing it to be promoted to the next level.
Just as Draugr was able to kill a Hunter, the remaining Hunter swung its claws at Ethan's heart.
Ethan was in the Shadow Step mode, but he only had time to twist his body slightly. The Hunter struck him on the chest instead of his heart.
Even though Ethan was wearing the 2nd Degree Protective Garment, he was still badly injured from the power of the Hunter's blow, but it did not cut his body. But the Hunter's powerful blow broke several of his ribs, and sent him flying several meters to the ground.
At this moment, Grace extracted her sword. Once again with the sword, slashing at the Hunter's head.
The Hunter without any worry, smashing its tail like a hammer against Grace's body. Grace, like a rag, immediately flew 7 to 8 meters, as if hit by a speeding truck. She immediately spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground, not knowing if she is alive or dead.
"Ethan, catch!" At this point, William had finished replacing the cartridge of the Type 79 submachine gun. He knows that he is no match for the Hunter, and he could only count on Ethan.
The Hunter could tell that Ethan was its greatest enemy. It quickly rushed towards Ethan, trying to smash Ethan's head with its claw.
At this time, Draugr appeared in front of the Hunter, with its axe cleaving at the Hunter's head.
The Hunter was like a cat, and evaded the strike of Draugr. Its tail is like a hammer, smashed against Draugr's body. Sending Draugr 7 to 8 metres away.
"Go to hell!" After seeing the Hunter break through the Draugr defensive line, Ethan suppressed the pain. Spit out a mouthful of blood, then holding the Type 79 submachine gun, started firing wildly at the Hunter.
Ethan's shooting technique was terrible, but the distance between him and the Hunter was merely 2 meters. At this distance it was impossible to miss.
The 20 bullets shot through the Hunter's body. Its body was full of bloody holes. Two bullets were lucky enough to hit the Hunter's spine. The Hunter then dropped to the ground from the air.
Ethan was gasping for air, quickly picking up the sword. With his left hand tried to cut off the Hunter's head with all his power, chopping directly down on the Hunter's head.
The Hunter's head fell to the ground. A blue treasure box, a skill book, three white treasure boxes, and a 200 Survival Coin burst out. A big ball of white light from the Hunter's body flew into Ethan's body, and the sweet sound rang in his mind.
"Congratulations, you have been promoted to Level 12, you have earned 2 stats points."
"Congratulations, you have been promoted to Level 13, you have earned 2 stats points."
In a flash, the two sweet sounds of promotion rang out in Ethan's mind.
Ethan endured the pain and made the choice: "Assigned 4 points to Vitality!"
Vitality determines the speed of recovery for muscle strength, body and possibly your life force or how long one will naturally live. Ethan was able to stand up and fight thanks to the 2nd Degree Protective Garment protecting him from the powerful blow of the Hunter. His body and muscle strength exceeded Grace and Luke by 50%.
Ethan did not care about future development at this time or how long he is going to live. He can only choose to increase vitality, so that his bones can heal faster.
A small stream trickling through his body, Ethan's body had been strengthened again. After the strengthening, he felt a little bit better.
"Luke!" Ethan did not stay still. Brimming with chest pain from the broken bones, quickly rushed to Luke, whose face was covered with blood.
"Fortunately!" Ethan inspected Luke breathing, and found him still breathing, breathing out a sigh of relief. Luke, but his most important friend and companion. And as they say 'bros before hoes'
Afterwards, Ethan then checks on Grace's conditions. He found her still breathing. Then quickly took the items dropped from the two Hunters, and put it into his backpack. Then Draugr carried Grace and Luke into the truck.
William sped all the way, quickly returned to the neighbourhood.
Noticing William below, the girls in the room flooded out and went down.
Seeing Ethan, Grace, and Luke covered in blood; the girls were in disbelief. In particular Ethan, they could not think of anything that could have injured him so severely. Especially when he can fight in a swarm of zombies like it was nothing and he had his summon with him who's even stronger than him.
