Korchagin's warning caused Zhang Xiao Qiang to rush out of the room like a gust of wind. He dashed down the corridor and down the stairs. It was pitch black, with only the moonlight shining through the window to illuminate the place. Zhang Xiao Qiang grabbed the luminous pearl with one hand and weaved his way through the panicking crowd towards the wine cellar.
Just as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard a scream and saw a thin, slender body flying towards him. Before Zhang Xiaoqiang could hit him, he reached out and pulled the person to the side. It was a man. Zhang Xiaoqiang recognized him at a glance. He was the one who had followed him back during the day. As soon as he pulled the man down, a beast-like low growl was heard. Two spinning axes flew towards Zhang Xiaoqiang.
Zhang Xiaoqiang did not have dynamic vision at night, but that did not mean he could not counter long-range attacks. He raised his hand and swung the Rat King's Blade, splitting the axes flying towards him. He sped forward and kicked the man who had pounced on him.
The man flew backwards and was immediately split into two. A shining long knife cut through the splattering blood towards Zhang Xiaoqiang's head. Zhang Xiaoqiang sucked in a breath of cold air. Was this even human?
Without saying a word, he cut his own people in half. This could no longer be called ferocious. It had reached the point of inhumanity.
The long knife was extremely fast. It cut through the splattering blood and headed towards Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang was even faster. He twisted his body and the long knife brushed past him. The Rat King's Blade bounced up and slashed towards the man's neck. The man did not dodge, allowing the Rat King's Blade to slide towards his neck. The long knife slightly tilted to the side. If everything went according to plan, when Zhang Xiaoqiang chopped off the man's head, his body would also be hit.
Zhang Xiao Qiang was wearing leather armor, so he was not worried about getting hit by the knife. However, he was still wearing his military uniform. If the uniform was damaged, there was no place to change it. Without a choice, he changed the angle of the Rat King Blade and slashed down at the man's chin, cutting off the long knife. He then raised his elbow and slammed it into the man's chest. The man could no longer stand and fell to the side. Zhang Xiao Qiang jumped up and kicked the man's temple.
The man flew sideways and landed in the middle of the potatoes, not moving anymore. The tumbling potatoes scattered in all directions. Another howl came from outside, and a burly man holding a scythe jumped in. Before he landed, he stepped on the tumbling potatoes. The man screamed as he did a backflip and smashed into the ground.
Before he could get up, the back of his head was kicked by Zhang Xiaoqiang. The man fell to the ground and fainted without making a sound.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaoqiang had taken care of the three men. There were still strange howls coming from outside. Zhang Xiaoqiang did not know if he should continue to move forward. He found the weakness of his new ability. It could not be used in a narrow environment. If he was not careful, he would fall into a wall.
Thinking that unless he retreated to the rooftop, he would not be able to use it. He gritted his teeth and pulled out his gun. Just as he loaded it, a man rushed in from outside. His eyes were bloodshot and he glared at Zhang Xiaoqiang. Just as he was about to raise the fire axe in his hand, he saw the black muzzle in Zhang Xiaoqiang's hand. A flame flashed in his eyes. The man felt as if he was hit by a hammer and fell to the ground. The bullet hole in his forehead was like a third eye on his head.
Zhang Xiaoqiang really did not want to use his gun. Without logistics, he would have less bullets to use. These men were not afraid of death, and they would easily injure each other. Zhang Xiaoqiang did not want to get into a close combat with these mad dogs.
Raising his gun, Zhang Xiaoqiang rushed into the tunnel. As soon as he entered, he collided with the man who was running toward him. An unpleasant smell rushed into his nose. Zhang Xiaoqiang raised his head and slammed into the man. He imagined that he would hit the man's brow bone, but the man was taller than him, so he could only hit the man's neck. The man let out a strange cry and retreated with his head raised. However, Zhang Xiaoqiang kicked him in the crotch.
"Ouch, ouch …"
The man covered his crotch with his hand, and his eyes rolled back. He only managed to scream twice before Zhang Xiaoqiang hit him in the temple with the butt of his gun. Before the man could fall to the ground, a man rushed over from behind and raised his mace. Zhang Xiaoqiang took a step back to dodge, but the mace hit the ceiling, which was not high to begin with, and a lot of dirt fell from the ceiling.
"Phew …"
Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was standing outside, let out a long sigh. This was the most tiring fight he had ever had with humans. These lunatics were unreasonable, and all of them fought in a reckless manner. Not only could Zhang Xiaoqiang not use his Rat King Blade, but he also could not use his gun. This was because he did not even have the time to aim. After killing the one in front, the one in the back would rush over and knock away the one in front that had not fallen yet.
In the end, Zhang Xiao Qiang was also scared. He didn't use any weapons and didn't have to worry about his uniform being torn. He engaged in close quarters combat with these fellows. Zhang Xiao Qiang was determined. In the narrow tunnel, he was practically invincible. His strength was many times that of a normal person, and he didn't fear their strength and courage. He would beat up one, beat up two, beat up two. By the time he crawled out of the cellar, the fallen fellows had almost blocked the entire tunnel.
As soon as Zhang Xiaoqiang came out, he took out his Rat King Blade. The Rat King Blade glowed under the moonlight. Within ten meters in front of him, there were more than ten burly men.
These burly men were the same as the ones who entered the tunnel earlier. All of them looked ferocious, and their blood-red eyes were shining with all kinds of strange lights. Zhang Xiaoqiang's body was not tall, and his muscles were not developed. The 1.75m Zhang Xiaoqiang was not strong enough in front of these burly men who were two meters tall, and the shortest was 180 centimeters tall. Although he was not strong enough, it did not mean that these men would look down on him. The ones who charged first were the most valiant. More than thirty of their most valiant companions had disappeared behind Zhang Xiaoqiang. How could they not be surprised?
Zhang Xiaoqiang slowly looked at these guys. He slightly raised his Rat King Blade. He was confident that he could take care of these guys within a minute. In Zhang Xiaoqiang's mind, these unknown guys were already his enemies. He would not be lenient when facing his enemies. Just when he was about to make his move, a sonorous voice that sounded like metal rubbing against each other was heard.
As the voice sounded, the crowd split into two and retreated. A tall figure appeared in front of Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes. The figure was standing in the dark among the vegetation, so he did not see it at first. Only now did he realize that this guy was actually three meters tall, and his whole body was wrapped in a black robe.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, long time no see …"
The black figure stood in the same place without moving. The Russian had turned into Mandarin, and the voice was still like metal rubbing against each other. It sounded cold to the bones, but the sonorous voice did not cause any change in Zhang Xiaoqiang. He stared at the tall figure and squeezed out two words from the corner of his mouth, "Wan Qiang …"
"Hehe, it's me. It's been ten months, right?
I didn't think that Zhang Xiaoqiang would really do what he said. Are you here to kill me today? "
At this point, Wan Qiang suddenly pulled down his hood, revealing his scale-covered face. Wan Qiang could no longer be called a human. He was three meters tall, and his facial features were covered in thin scales. These scales were like the scales of a snake, and they twisted together to form a gorgeous yet strange pattern that covered his head and cheeks. As Wan Qiang spoke, the pattern moved vividly, and under the moonlight, it revealed an obscure halo.
The scales on Wan Qiang's body were many times finer than the rough scales of the D3. If the D3's scales were like mottled old walls, then Wan Qiang's scales were like exquisite handicrafts. Zhang Xiaoqiang did not know what Wan Qiang's current defense was, but it was definitely higher than the D3's.
"Wan Qiang, you … did you f * cking eat people?"
Hearing Wan Qiang say that he was here to kill, Zhang Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered the time when they killed the Z2 zombies. When they broke out of the encirclement, Wan Qiang was injured by the Z2 zombies. Zhang Xiaoqiang said to Wan Qiang that if Wan Qiang ate people, he would chase him to the ends of the earth to kill him.
"Ka ka ka …"
Wan Qiang raised his head and laughed maniacally. His laughter was like that of an owl. The men around him retreated at the same time, as if they were extremely afraid of Wan Qiang.
"I never thought that I would have the strength I have now. I never thought that I would be as smart as I am now. Russian, Japanese, English, Korean, I learned all of these in one day. One day, have you ever thought about it?
What kind of concept is this?
As long as I eat a brain, I can learn a foreign language. Ka ka ka … this is too wonderful. Do you know?
I will be able to recite the most authentic Shakespeare's complete works … "
Hearing Wan Qiang's declaration, Zhang Xiaoqiang and the rest suddenly made their moves. The Rat King Blade flashed in a bright arc and pierced towards Wan Qiang's forehead. Wan Qiang raised his hand and casually caught the Rat King Blade between his fingers.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, don't you know that the times are constantly improving?
Don't always use the tactics of the encirclement to measure me. Now, not only do I use my strength, I also have speed. This little trick … "
Before Wan Qiang could finish, Zhang Xiao Qiang bellowed and took a step forward. His right hand grabbed at empty air, and his entire body twisted 360 degrees. The Rat King's Edge shot out from Wan Qiang's fingers, spinning in a circle and landing on the back of Wan Qiang's hand that was also covered in scales. Zhang Xiao Qiang bellowed again, and his body spun on the spot, and his left hand flung out another small Rat King's Edge.
"Zi la la …"
A small line of fire shot out from the back of Wan Qiang's hand. This line of fire was formed by countless small sparks. Another Rat King's Blade flew towards Wan Qiang's forehead. Wan Qiang did not dare to be careless. He raised his other hand and tried to grab it. Unexpectedly, he could not close his palm at all. The spinning force of the Rat King's Blade kept bouncing his fingers off, and sparks appeared between his thumb and forefinger.
The scene was extremely strange. Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands were trembling. His face flashed with a strong ruthless aura. Both of his eyes were round like burning flames. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and flowed down his cheeks …
