Once the bet was made, Zhang Xiaoqiang and Jian Zhan began their slaughter. Both of them were wearing similar outfits, with helmets and golden oak military uniforms. If it wasn't for Zhang Xiaoqiang carrying the Firebird Scimitar and Jian Zhan holding a dagger in his hand, no one would have been able to recognize them. The personal terminals were connected to the recon company's mainframe, and the map on the monitor showed their location and the distribution of Mutant Beasts around them.
The unmanned recon aircraft's incredible endurance was on full display at this moment. As long as the Sun Bamboo could still be powered, they could continue flying in the sky. The recon system sent the information back to the recon company's mainframe, and Zhang Xiaoqiang and the others began clearing out the Mutant Beasts.
Opening the map was like opening a cheat. Under the leadership of Zhang Xiaoqiang and Jian Zhan, the 1,800 Evolvers who had been through bloody battles followed closely behind, efficiently clearing out all the Mutant Beasts they encountered.
While they were clearing out the Mutant Beasts, Xue Feng's 800,000 zombies finally clashed with the Mutant Beasts in the city.
The endless sea of zombies rushed into the city like a flood, and under Xue Feng's meticulous suppression, the Mutant Beasts were caught off guard. In an instant, they lost over 30,000 Mutant Beasts. Countless Mutant Beasts' corpses were devoured by the Mutant Beasts, and countless zombies were devoured by the hungry Mutant Beasts.
At the forefront of the zombie horde, the 8 Giant Ape Zombies and the 12 White S4 Zombies were like a meat grinder as they tore apart the Mutant Beasts they met. Fresh blood flowed on the ground, and before the blood seeped into the ground, it slowly evaporated into a blood mist that rose into the air. Large patches of blood mist twisted in the air, and once again condensed into a bright red ribbon of blood that flew towards the hidden zombies in the middle of the horde.
Under the protection of two Giant Ape Zombies, a pale-faced man was focused on controlling the blood ribbon, forming a new sea of blood around him …
"It's still not enough. Normal human bodies are too weak, and they can't provide me much help. I need Evolvers as a vessel …"
Xue Feng could only attract one ribbon of blood to surround him at a time, and every time it condensed, his face would turn paler. The sea of blood around him was much thinner than the one he had formed that day. It was like comparing a vast ocean to a small pond. Even if the Mutant Beasts' blood was more beneficial to him than human blood, he could only watch as tons of blood was wasted. Xue Feng, who was originally a zombie, felt a strange pain in his heart. It was the first time he muttered to himself that he was very dissatisfied with the body he had occupied.
After Zhang Xiao Qiang destroyed the body and escaped into the sea of zombies, the Blood Phoenix could no longer possess the bodies of zombies, and could only look for humans to possess. Humans were also divided into different grades, and the better the physique, the more power the Blood Phoenix could unleash. Just like the Blood Phoenix that day, although it had a bad character, it was still a top-notch Evolver, and its abilities were unparalleled in Shanghai. Even the Special Combat Forces were almost wiped out by the Blood Phoenix, which was why it was able to kill 8,000 Evolvers in the blink of an eye, sucking out their blood to form a sea of blood. However, the humans that survived in the wilderness were all starving and their bodies had long since collapsed. Even if they were possessed by the Blood Phoenix, they would not be able to unleash 20% to 30% of what they had been at their peak.
The slaughter of the zombies and mutant beasts continued, and Xue Feng was quite satisfied with the progress. Compared to her hundreds of thousands of subordinates, the mutant beasts were superior in both quantity and quality. However, with Xue Feng's leadership, the situation was different. The Giant Ape Zombie and the S4 Type Zombie were naturally inferior to the mutant beasts, and the Type 4 Type Zombie was barely equivalent to a level 3 mutant beast. If it was a one-on-one, they might not be able to defeat a level 3 mutant beast, but level 3 mutant beasts were considered high-grade in a group of mutant beasts. Xue Feng gathered all of the high-grade zombies together and used them as spears to stab the mutant beasts. The mutant beasts that died were eaten by the zombies, and with enough time, Xue Feng would be able to continuously increase the strength of the zombies, making them stronger and stronger.
Xue Feng did not care whether the zombies could improve his strength or not. What he really cared about was himself. After possessing a human body, he also had the selfish nature of humans. No matter how many zombies died, they were not as important as a single strand of his hair. That was why Xue Feng was worried that the person he had possessed was not an evolver. Thinking of the abilities he had possessed, Xue Feng knew that he had to find another evolver to possess in order to regain his former strength. Thinking of this, Xue Feng turned his head to look at Zhang Xiaoqiang, and a hint of bitterness flashed through his cloudy eyes.
Xue Feng and the mutant beasts in the city were badly injured, and the hundreds of thousands of zombies were quickly reduced. On Zhang Xiaoqiang's side, most evolvers did not have the combat power of a Type 4 zombie, and even Zhang Xiaoqiang could barely fight one. However, what humans relied on the most was not individual strength, but the combination of teamwork and intelligence. Under the leadership of Zhang Xiaoqiang and Dao Ming, thousands of evolvers were divided into small groups according to their abilities, and they killed all the mutant beasts they could see.
There were a lot of mutated beasts, but not many of them could reach level one and above. For example, when the water snake poisoned thousands of beaks and wings, less than 10% of them were able to dig out the colloid and crystal core, less than 1/1000 of them were able to dig out the level two colloid, and none of them were able to dig out the level three colloid. Moreover, the mutated beasts did not gather together after coming ashore, as they needed to look for food. The scattered mutated beasts were easier to deal with, which made the evolvers who killed them feel like they were hunting.
They were really hunting. The evolvers at the front surrounded the mutated beasts one by one, and used all kinds of abilities to kill them. After killing them, they would contact the armed men behind them to drive away the carcasses of the mutated beasts. Every evolver had a short beak blade that could cut through the scales of the beasts, and they also had a long tail whip that could entangle the mutated beasts. There were also evolvers with different abilities that could form a human tower shield. Basically, two evolvers with shields, two evolvers with agility, and two evolvers with other abilities could easily deal with one or a few mutated beasts. As more and more mutated beasts fell, the evolvers became more and more arrogant. In the end, they formed a huge wave of energy that rushed towards the mutated beasts in the wild. The mutated beasts that had dared to approach earlier had no choice but to retreat.
After the evolvers had gotten their hands on suitable weapons and armors, they were able to unleash an unprecedented level of combat power. Zhang Xiaoqiang and Jian Zhan were the sharpest knives, and the speed of the sword was even more unpredictable. The mutated beasts that were wandering in the wild did not know what happened until their necks were cut off. Jian Zhan could pass through the shadows, and when the mutated beasts were at their most relaxed state, he could suddenly kill them. He also had the ability to detect danger from the mutated beasts, so he was very successful in killing small mutated beasts.
Zhang Xiaoqiang, on the other hand, seemed to be afraid that the mutated beasts would not know where he was, so he would always rush to the center of the herd. A few, a dozen, or even dozens of mutated beasts would rush to surround Zhang Xiaoqiang. Once they crossed the 50-meter boundary, these mutated beasts would either have their limbs chopped off, and would roll on the ground in pain. Or they would be split into two halves, and their organs and blood would flow out, waiting for someone to send them to the kitchen as food.
Following behind Zhang Xiaoqiang and Jian Zhan were two groups with distinct paths. One group was made up of the Evolvers that Jian Zhan had recruited from the coastal defense line. The leader of the group was a rough and wild man who had killed a mutated beast with Jian Zhan. After joining Jian Zhan, he used this as an excuse to follow Jian Zhan. Beside him was Chen Yu, whom Zhang Xiaoqiang had long forgotten. In the end, Chen Yu did not leave with Xi'er, but stayed by Jian Zhan's side as a follower. They did not get along well with each other, but when they faced Zhang Xiaoqiang's bodyguards, they were slightly hostile.
