Chapter 1607: Chapter 1601 Out of Ammo and Provisions

Perhaps due to losing both eyes and suddenly being unable to see, the Level 7 zombie began self-mutation! The flesh along its spine exploded outward on both sides, and countless thin, blood-red threads erupted densely from within its body! From Ghost Head and the others’ perspective, it looked as though the zombie’s internal organs were composed entirely of these blood-red threads!

The torn flesh extended from its spine all the way to the back of its head. Then, the blood-red threads and chunks of flesh that emerged started wrapping back inward. In a matter of moments, the dark-red Level 7 zombie was transformed into a blood-soaked monstrosity!

"What the hell is it doing?!"

An indescribable sense of dread spread through everyone’s heart. Brother Shi instinctively slapped Ghost Head on the shoulder and shouted, "Ma De, stop staring! Run now!"

The zombie’s grotesque transformation was undoubtedly bad news for them. As realization dawned, they broke into a sprint toward the car. Upon reaching it, Crooked Neck yanked Snapper’s corpse from the driver’s seat. The other three piled into the car one after another. Seated in the cabin, Brother Shi and Ghost Head glanced back—and wished they hadn’t. What they saw froze them in terror: the Level 7 zombie was now covered, head to toe, in eyes!

"Holy shit!"

Brother Shi screamed. Crooked Neck, seemingly just as terrified, stomped hard on the accelerator. The monster truck surged forward like a rocket. But the successfully mutated Level 7 zombie pursued them at breakneck speed. Ghost Head, Brother Shi, and Yong scrambled into the backseat, unleashing a relentless barrage of Tianguang energy beams. The road behind them was painted in intense laser fire!

Yet the Level 7 zombie seemed utterly unfazed by Tianguang’s lasers. With so many eyes all over its body, it had no fear of being blinded! Instead, their attacks hit its body uselessly—doing little more than tickling it.

The monster truck tore down the road. Crooked Neck mashed the pedal hard enough to nearly shove it into the fuel tank. The speedometer needle screamed at its limit—320 kilometers per hour—almost breaking free of its confines. He deftly weaved through piles of abandoned vehicles, his driving skills sharpened by the urgent need to avoid obstacles. But it was futile; the scenery hurtled past at dizzying speeds, the rear laser barrage making the truck look like a space-bound rocket.

Even then, the truck couldn’t match the zombie’s speed. Within ten seconds, the Level 7 zombie had closed the distance. Its massive, blood-stained maw opened wide, unleashing a stench so pungent it could make someone faint!

"Holy shit, we’re dead!"

At such close range, there was no way they could miss their target, no matter how poor their aim. A hailstorm of Tianguang lasers blasted directly into the zombie’s mouth. But its speed didn’t slow—at all!

Just as it was about to reach the truck, Yong’s eyes turned blood-red. An inexplicable aura radiated from his body—a presence imperceptible to living creatures. Somehow, this terrifying high-level zombie halted in its tracks, leaving Brother Shi and Ghost Head utterly dumbfounded!

"What the... just happened?"

The two stared in confusion and then turned their gaze to Yong, who was now back to his normal self, contemplative as though he’d made a discovery.

Unsure of what was happening, they turned their attention back to the zombie. The creature looked around briefly, its pale eyes filled with confusion, then resumed its pursuit. Yet, as it closed in again, the strange phenomena repeated. The zombie suddenly stopped, as if struck by fear, looked around hesitantly, and then resumed chasing.

This eerie cycle repeated multiple times as the monster truck sped onward. No one knew how far they’d traveled or where they had ended up. The horde of zombies behind them was no longer visible, yet the relentless Level 7 zombie remained hot on their heels!

After such prolonged pursuit, the zombie seemed to realize that nothing else was going to happen. It suddenly rammed into the rear of the truck, causing the vehicle to skid low across the ground and come dangerously close to colliding with a mountainside. Upon landing, the force sent Brother Shi and Ghost Head sprawling onto the ground, dazed and battered, blood spurting from their mouths!

When they managed to get back on their feet, it became glaringly clear how dire their situation was; their resources were nearly drained.

"How much ammo do we have left?" Brother Shi shouted, his shaky voice barely hiding his fear.

Ghost Head frantically reached behind them, refusing to look back. Instead, he fumbled around for a while, then turned his head—and his face turned ashen.

"We’ve... only got one shot left! We can’t go on like this!"

"What choice do we have?! Switch to maximum power mode?"

Brother Shi threw out the suggestion offhandedly. But as the words left his mouth, realization struck. He glanced at Ghost Head, their eyes locking in an instant. The air between them froze for less than a second before they both turned their gaze toward Yong.

"Yong! Set it to max power! We’re running out of options!"

Brother Shi shouted at Yong. Before the latter could respond, the Level 7 zombie leapt into action again. With a deafening "bang," the roof above them caved in violently, creating a large dent. Crooked Neck let out a scream, his head slammed down forcefully by the collapsed section while still gripping the wheel. Though critically injured, he fought to maintain control of the truck.

"Dammit!"

Ghost Head cursed. Almost immediately, another massive force slammed upward, causing the front of the truck to lift into the air!

Beside him, Brother Shi’s face twisted in determination as he reached for the Tianguang gun’s power dial. He intended to increase its output but dared not crank it to maximum. Instead, he turned it to the middle setting.

"Hold onto me!"

Brother Shi barked at Ghost Head. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Ghost Head crawled toward him, bracing Brother Shi to prevent him from being thrown off by the recoil.

"I’m starting now!"

"Fire!"

Brother Shi clenched his teeth and pressed the firing button. In the next instant, the Tianguang gun’s muzzle erupted in radiant light. A crimson beam sliced through the truck’s steel roof, melting it instantly. Moments later, they heard a guttural scream from above as the Level 7 zombie tumbled off the roof and onto the ground. Its countless eyes scanned incessantly before it opened its mouth to an unnatural extent. Its tongue wriggled grotesquely, and a piercing shriek tore through the air, almost rupturing their eardrums!

The air reeked with a potent stench as a shockwave sent the monster truck skidding sideways!

"Die already!"
