For humans, zombies have no interest in what they pursue; you could say they have no desires or needs, except for one thing that has a deadly allure for them, turning a zombie into sothing extrely greedy!
With them, the phrase "even a mosquito is at" is realized to the fullest!
Food is essential for any life; zombies are no exception. Their madness stems from the energy that fuels their activities, and their bloodlust is a basic biological craving for food!
This ti, it sensed the presence of food, but this pile of "food" was a bit hard for it to obtain. Its body was too large, and the corridor that allowed a normal person to move freely was incredibly tiny for it, forcing it to resort to the most brutal thod to have its feast!
"Damn it!" Wu Zhixiong pulled back his head. Now that Level 6 zombie had only half of its body climbing into roughly the third floor. They were at least fifteen stories up, so it seed like there was still ti, but by the ti the zombie got up here, this building would have long been crushed by that thing!
How could the three of them dare to stay here any longer?
"Ghost Head, are you feeling any better?" Brother Shi also pulled back his head, turning to ask Ghost Head.
Ghost Head tried moving twice and used a lot of strength, but thankfully managed to stand up.
"It’s okay... I guess." Fortunately, the injury was just from a severe impact, and according to a Level 2 New Human’s recovery ability, he should heal quickly. Ghost Head was thankful that the main pilot of the ch had severed that damn tentacle just in ti!
"Try taking a few steps," Wu Zhixiong said. The current situation was not optimistic, and the sooner Ghost Head regained his ability to move, the better!
After hearing Wu Zhixiong’s words, Ghost Head limped a few steps but still seed to struggle.
"In a few hours, I should be fine..."
"Forget it, I’ll carry you."
This was no ti for discussion among the three; Brother Shi activated his exoskeleton suit. However, to them, the suit seed to make no difference. Of course, this wasn’t because the suit’s defense was diocre but because they were too fragile!
Even wearing an exoskeleton suit, a casual strike from a high-level zombie, or even just the aftermath of a battle grazing them, the slightest force penetrating the suit could make them lose all combat ability, and wearing the exoskeleton suit affected their flexibility.
Yet, to be safer, they decided to activate the exoskeleton suits, hoping the suit might save them at a critical mont—though only half a life, at most!
Before Ghost Head could refuse, Brother Shi hoisted him onto his back, then turned to Wu Zhixiong, handing him the weapon while saying, "We need to move faster."
The other nodded, taking the lead and running toward the end of the hallway. Using the "Tianguang" in his hand, he shot at the wall, and the intense, penetrating laser quickly blasted a hole at the end of the hallway, revealing everything outside.
Aiming at the opposite building, Wu Zhixiong didn’t slow down a bit. As soon as half of his body passed through the hole, he leapt!
"Yahaha~"
He shouted in mid-air, his heart involuntarily racing. Fortunately, he was lucky, crashing through a window of the opposite building, smashing inside.
Ignoring the pain from his body, he quickly climbed to the window and shouted to Brother Shi on the other side, "Hurry!"
Unlike Wu Zhixiong’s decisiveness, Brother Shi slowed his pace near the hole, carrying Ghost Head. As half of his body ca out, he hesitated. He had never tried sothing like this since becoming a New Human, and he wasn’t sure his jumping power could bridge such a gap from Wu Zhixiong—seven or eight ters away!
"Don’t be afraid; be brave, jump! I’ll catch you!"
Seeing Brother Shi hesitating, Wu Zhixiong encouraged him.
Hearing his voice and feeling the building shaking more violently, Brother Shi realized he had no choice. Gritting his teeth, he simply closed his eyes and leapt!
"Ghost Head, if we don’t make it over, we’re done for!" Brother Shi said to Ghost Head, sounding like a last word, though sowhat incomplete.
On his back, Ghost Head bravely glanced down. The zombies in the street had noticed them, each raising its hideous head and howling aggressively. So zombies even started climbing up the building walls like geckos! It was terrifying for him to see; if they fell, even their physiques couldn’t save them from being torn to pieces by so many high-level zombies!
"Ah!"
Feeling the sensation of falling mid-air, Brother Shi couldn’t help but shout, seemingly to vent his emotions, as did Ghost Head on his back!
"God help us!"
In this way, with Ghost Head on his back, Brother Shi drew an arc in the sky between the two buildings, gradually approaching Wu Zhixiong!
Timing it right, Wu Zhixiong, at the window, reached out and grabbed the corpse-dragging strap on Brother Shi’s exoskeleton suit’s upper back.
Bam!
Brother Shi slamd into the wall. Luckily, the helt of the exoskeleton suit or perhaps his hard head protected him, creating a dent in the wall rather than knocking him out. Ghost Head on his back was also jolted backward, almost falling off. Fortunately, Brother Shi held his leg just in ti, preventing him from falling.
"Don’t just stand there dumb, get up here quickly!"
More uncomfortable than the two of them was Wu Zhixiong, who held them. Holding them both, the pressure almost tore his arm off!
With Wu Zhixiong’s urging, Brother Shi got the idea, holding Ghost Head to ensure he didn’t fall off with one hand while using the other to grip the window sill and leverage himself up. It didn’t take long before Wu Zhixiong pulled him up, and Ghost Head also reached safety.
Not daring to rest, Brother Shi and Wu Zhixiong looked down again. More and more zombies noticed them, their howls becoming louder and more frequent, probably sensing the "food" upstairs had moved. They saw the Level 6 zombie, which had previously burrowed into the building, rumbling its way out, lifting its head to howl in their direction!
They were absolutely right; the Level 6 zombie’s behavior of drilling into the building was all because of them!
