I am the Zombie King of the Apocalyptic World
Chapter 1021 - 1018 Danger Strikes Again

Chapter 1021: Chapter 1018 Danger Strikes Again

Yaztec hastily shifted his position, attempting to dodge the bone spike attack. By doing so, although he saved Telos from the reaper’s harvest, the bone spike pierced directly through his right leg. Flesh was torn, and the sensation of a heavy blow traveled up from his leg. A mouthful of thick blood spewed from Yaztec, who felt as if his breath was leaking away.

Witnessing this scene, Telos was deeply moved.

"Child..." he was moved, but at a loss for words. He realized that although he was Yaztec’s teacher, he hadn’t been much help. By his side, he had instead become a burden to him.

"Teacher, I won’t let you get hurt," Yaztec said, struggling against the intense suffocation in his lungs, and began to climb upward bit by bit. Below them, the flame silver-armored zombie, having shot the bone spikes from its back and left its torso covered in thick bone spikes, had no follow-up move. It climbed towards the building Yaztec was ascending, howling.

But their strength was too great, trying to climb only caused debris to fall from the building, which then caused them to fall heavily back to the ground.

In frustration, they could only issue impotent roars of rage.

Just when Yaztec and Telos both thought they were safe and began to breathe a sigh of relief, just as Yaztec barely reached the window of the thirteenth floor, he suddenly saw a silver face, its neck cracks oozing with hot magma!

It was a flame silver-armored zombie!

The sudden appearance of the face made Yaztec’s legs go weak.

"Damn it!" he cursed in incredibly sharp Russian, and just as he was about to leap over the window to jump to the highest floor, an intense pain in his chest was triggered, causing Yaztec to involuntarily gasp for air.

Too painful!

That was all he could think, but before he could fully release his strength, the flame silver-armored zombie behind the window had already lifted its thick claws towards them. The magma-laden claws hadn’t even touched the window glass before the searing heat shattered it!

"Not good!"

Yaztec was startled, and as his body leaped up, Telos let out a piercing scream from behind.

Turning to look over his shoulder, Telos’s leg had been caught by the flame silver-armored zombie behind the window. The magma-filled cracks in its hands were scalding Telos’s leg, emitting white smoke. Faintly, Yaztec could even smell the scent of roasted flesh.

"Let go!"

Yaztec yelled, one hand holding onto Telos and the equipment that recorded the Zombie King, while the other hand clenched the window ledge, hanging his body. He lifted a foot and kicked forcefully at the silver-armored zombie behind the window.

The full force of a Level 4 New Human exploded forth. It was only a Level 3 zombie—it was sent flying with a kick. But could the strength of a power-type zombie be taken lightly?

Yaztec’s kick not only failed to make the flame silver-armored zombie release Telos’s leg, but the force of the kick instead caused the zombie to tear off Telos’s leg entirely!

Immediately after, Telos let out a heart-wrenching scream of agony.

After tearing off Telos’s leg, the flame silver-armored zombie couldn’t wait to start gnawing on it, and Yaztec and his companion finally got a momentary reprieve from the creature’s entanglement!

"Hang in there, Teacher, we’re almost up!"

In his urgency, Yaztec addressed Telos, then with a powerful leap, he climbed onto the rooftop. No sooner had he set down the equipment and Telos, he saw another Level 2 zombie climbing up on the other side!

"Get lost!"

He roared, striding forward to meet the silver-armored zombie and kicked it off the building, then sat down, gasping for air.

But this place was no longer a haven for human survivors, it was now a hell swarming with flame silver-armored zombies! This was no place for Yaztec to rest.

Sure enough, before long, Telos let out a weak voice, "Yaztec... look... look behind you!"

With no time to waste, Yaztec grabbed his knife and chopped off his own left leg! It was to avoid infection by the zombie! Barely having cleaned the wound and before he could cry out in pain, he heard Telos’s voice. Yaztec tensed up and looked behind him, to see a flame silver-armored zombie, even larger than any he had seen before, not far away!

"Level 4!"

Yaztec exclaimed in shock. Before, there had only been Level 3 and Level 2, but now this silver-armored zombie, larger than any before it, was unmistakably Level 4!

The roars of flame silver-armored zombies echoed from all directions. Judging by the intensity, Yaztec guessed there were at least a hundred of them surrounding him, and it was even possible a Level 5 silver-armored zombie might appear!

He was a Level 4 New Human, but he had no weapons or gear to fight against a same-level evolved zombie. Humans were at a great disadvantage compared to zombies—zombies had too many body organs that could be used as weapons. Compared to the bipedal capabilities of humans, it was simply no match!

Even if he could contend with this Level 4 silver-armored zombie, he didn’t have the luxury of time!

Moreover, this kind of zombie belonged to a special category. After emerging from the Underground Refuge City of Futoryak in the southern part of old Russia, he followed Telos and mixed with the wandering army led by Lan Ou into the China Kuanhong Base. Eventually, the wandering army was integrated into the China Third Military Region and became Defense Team 095. Afterwards, they followed the remnants of Kuanhong Base’s rebellious mechanical forces and escaped the base. The two of them had been winding and turning, making their way here through roundabout paths.

Throughout the journey, they had faced countless zombie attacks, among which were some silver ones. Data on these mutated zombies had already been uploaded, but people had different names for them.

Most commonly they were called silver-armored zombies, but some also referred to these silver zombies as Tri-Lifers or Mirror Viewers.

The name Tri-Lifer came about because these silver-armored zombies generally had to be killed three times before they truly died. If you thought blowing up a silver-armored zombie’s head would kill it, you’d be wrong, for it would come back to life. No matter how severe the injuries it sustained, it would regenerate, thus people referred to them as Tri-Lifers!

The term Mirror Viewer, on the other hand, was pure mockery from the old humanity towards the new humans, for new humans wouldn’t get infected by mere scratches from zombies. Of course, this excluded the rare parasitic infections. However, in front of a silver-armored zombie, even new humans would turn into another silver-armored zombie within a maximum of three hours if scratched!

The term Mirror Viewer originated from this fact, and it was for this exact reason that Yaztec resolutely decided to amputate his own leg, which had been wounded by a bone spike, just to avoid turning into a silver-armored zombie!
