Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches
Chapter 76 Killing the Zombie CatXu Chi stared at the zombies surging toward them, his mind racing.
These zombies had already been attracted here. Unless they could somehow shake them off, there was no way to escape them.
But the zombie cat was even more troublesome. It was extremely fast and possessed a certain level of intelligence. After observing the zombies, the experts had discovered that zombies with a certain level of intelligence could command lower-level zombies.
Therefore, the experts at the base who studied zombies had divided them into several levels.
Zombies that could only detect their prey through sound were classified as primary zombies, or Level 1 zombies.
The one Lin Yun had encountered in the second-floor apartment was faster; it was a Level 2 zombie. Not only was it faster than a Level 1 zombie, but it also had a stronger sense of smell and could attack based on the scent of its prey.
However, the first two types were not very intelligent and mostly acted on instinct. Their instinctive response to sound was triggered by the act of devouring prey.
The Level 3 zombie was the zombie cat in front of them. It possessed a certain level of intelligence and was also extremely fast.
After discovering the guns in their hands, the zombie cat hid among the horde, occasionally darting out to swipe at them whenever they were caught off guard.
Fortunately, Xu Chi and his team had been keeping a close eye on the zombie cat, afraid that it would suddenly attack.
Once a zombie’s claws or teeth broke through a person’s skin, the zombie virus would enter the body. If you were lucky, the zombie would eat you alive; if you were unlucky, you would turn into a zombie and become a walking corpse.
Therefore, they were always extremely careful whenever they encountered zombies, afraid that one might suddenly scratch them without them noticing.
The zombie cat hid among the horde, sniffing the scent of humans, its mouth practically watering.
When something was delicious, it had to save it all for itself.
It let out a series of incomprehensible sounds, causing the surrounding zombies to pause. Then, their attacks suddenly became more organized.
Xu Chi was startled and immediately realized that it was the zombie cat from before!
"Let’s go! Retreat first!"
They had originally intended to enter the mall to see if there was any food left and clear out the zombies. They had never expected a zombie cat to appear there.
Or perhaps... this zombie cat had been here for a long time.
With this zombie cat around, if they didn’t retreat soon, they would probably all perish here.
But how could the zombie cat let them go so easily?
Having tasted the deliciousness of human flesh, the zombie cat could no longer stomach its own kind. It still preferred fresh food.
Besides, now that its prey had arrived, it certainly wasn’t going to let them escape.
Xu Chi led his men in retreat while fighting, but the zombie horde pursued them relentlessly like a tide. The zombie cat appeared and disappeared among the zombies, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike.
Just as they were about to reach the end of their retreat, an armored vehicle suddenly rushed out from the road beside them and blocked the path between them and the horde of zombies.
The vehicle’s door opened, revealing support troops from the base.
It turned out that the base had detected something abnormal in their previous signal and had immediately dispatched reinforcements.
The soldiers, weapons in hand, unleashed a fierce barrage of gunfire at the horde of zombies, sending them tumbling to the ground one after another.
Seeing this, a fierce light flashed in the zombie cat’s eyes. It suddenly leaped out of the horde and pounced toward Xu Chi.
A soldier reacted quickly and fired a small rocket, hitting the zombie cat squarely.
With a loud bang, the rocket exploded.
Xu Chi and the others breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the zombie cat had been killed by the rocket. Unexpectedly, it suddenly pounced from another direction.
Its claws viciously raked toward a soldier standing beside Xu Chi.
Lin Yun, who had rushed over, quickly threw the Ghost Vine from her shoulder.
Ghost Vine immediately understood Lin Yun’s intention. As soon as it was thrown, it grew to a gigantic size and lashed out at the zombie cat with its vines.
This sudden change forced the zombie cat to quickly change direction.
But the Ghost Vine had more than one vine. If it managed to dodge one, could it dodge the second or third?
The zombie cat was struck squarely and sent flying backward, knocking down several zombies.
Sang Biao and Tuan Tuan, who were hiding in the shadows, also wanted to go up and help Ghost Vine, but Lin Yun wouldn’t let them.
Just now, in order to protect that soldier, Lin Yun had thrown out the Ghost Vine, which had already exposed its existence. She couldn’t let Sang Biao and Tuan Tuan be exposed to everyone as well.
Ghost Vine charged toward the zombie cat and began fighting it.
Lin Yun slapped away another zombie that lunged at her with her stick and shouted at Xu Chi, who was still standing there in a daze, "What are you standing there for? Attack!"
Xu Chi snapped out of his daze and immediately ordered his comrades to grab their weapons and fight the zombies.
They also opened fire into the horde.
Lin Yun moved closer to Ghost Vine. She couldn’t let the zombie cat be killed by someone else, or her mission would fail.
However, this zombie cat was quite cunning. The sounds it made were extremely sharp and piercing, and it could also attract the surrounding zombies to rush over, protecting it and covering its retreat.
But Lin Yun kept a close eye on it, determined not to let it escape.
If we let it get away this time, it will definitely be even more difficult to deal with the zombie cat the next time it appears!
Just then, she suddenly remembered the Red Feather Crossbow she had obtained from the blind box earlier. She quickly took it out of her backpack and strapped it to her hand. She wanted to find the right opportunity to kill the zombie cat in one shot.
Ghost Vine was driven crazy by the endless stream of zombies. Although it didn’t hurt when its vines were torn off, it was still extremely annoying—and they were so dirty.
Having stayed by Lin Yun’s side for so long, it had long since learned to keep itself clean, and this incident had thoroughly infuriated it.
Xu Chi saw that Lin Yun was still staring intently at the zombie cat and wanted to come over to help, but there were too many zombies in front of him.
It was as if all the zombies in the mall had come rushing out.
Of course they all ran out! The sound of the gunfire was so loud, and the zombies had such sensitive hearing that they all rushed out in a swarm.
Finally, Lin Yun seized another opportunity. Taking advantage of the zombie cat being jostled by several zombies, she quickly fired the Skyfire Arrow.
"Meow—"
The zombie cat let out a terrible scream.
It lay on the ground, howling incessantly as it struggled to relieve its pain, but there was nothing it could do except lie there and wail.
She knew how powerful the Skyfire Arrow was. Lin Yun glanced at it again, then switched her weapon to a stick and stepped forward, striking it several times to finish it off.
[Daily task completed! Rewards have been distributed! Survivors, please check your accounts!]
When the system announced that the task was complete, the zombie cat on the ground also turned to ash.
The zombies that had been frantically attacking Ghost Vine suddenly paused, seemingly unable to understand why they had been attacking a plant.
At that moment, Lin Yun also noticed that there seemed to be a crystal in the pile of ashes.
