I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade
Chapter 679 - 174 This human is too stupid_4

"You used your crying to lure me here, just to have me surrounded and eventually killed by them, right? Based on my past observations, the only ones capable of such thought and wisdom, besides that nameless zombie, are ones I’ve never encountered before."

"Does my existence pose such a great danger to you zombies that you wish to put me to death?"

Lin Fan said to the Cryer.

He slowly drew Frost Mourning from his back.

Facing the oncoming tide of zombies.

His expression was terrifyingly calm.

"When I’m faced with danger and thus enter a state of self-defense, what happens next is going to be very dangerous. You’d better watch out."

As soon as the words fell.

Lin Fan swung Frost Mourning, Sword Radiance flickering, and a terrifying, irresistible aura erupted instantly.

Squelch!

Squelch!

The Cryer that had lured Lin Fan was instantly sliced in half at the waist; it was merely the beginning of the appetizer.

The mysterious zombie standing on the roof looked on gravely.

It knew that the zombies of Huangshi were being eliminated by someone at an extremely fast pace.

Therefore.

It had rallied the zombies to come together for precisely this reason—to eliminate such humans.

For a brief moment.

The once dirty and disordered plaza was now completely soaked in scarlet blood. Zombie flesh was scattered everywhere, and the stench of blood pervaded the air.

A Fusion Zombie appeared beside the mysterious zombie, staring fiercely at the situation below.

The mysterious zombie growled at the Fusion Zombie.

With the growl.

The Fusion Zombie dived down, charging towards Lin Fan at great speed, knocking aside any zombies in its path. Ordinary zombies were smashed to pieces by it.

This was a Fusion Zombie with a crystalline treasure.

Whether it was speed, strength, or abilities, it was unimaginably powerful and reigned supreme among zombies.

Before it got close to Lin Fan.

The Fusion Zombie’s spirit burst forth, unleashing a psychic storm sweeping over everything. Any human caught in its psychic storm would feel as though their head was being torn apart.

But its psychic storm had no effect on Lin Fan.

Lin Fan also noticed the charging Fusion Zombie and felt a surge of excitement. The rarity of a colorful crystal was undeniable, and although he could hunt zombies at will, finding a zombie with such a crystal relied purely on luck.

Suddenly.

Just as the Fusion Zombie was about to reach Lin Fan, it stopped abruptly, its pupils contracting sharply, its ferocious face seemingly frozen.

Without a second thought, it turned around and fled into the distance.

The Fusion Zombie, which also possessed the ability to foresee, knew what was about to happen—its impending demise—and thus fleeing was its best decision.

The mysterious zombie on the roof saw the Fusion Zombie fleeing and let out an enraged roar.

Clearly very angry.

Hearing the roar of anger, the Fusion Zombie ignored it completely. It had seen the truth of the future and knew for certain it shouldn’t foolishly seek death, even if the other howled its throat raw, turning back would mean defeat.

"It’s trying to run, so it has the ability to foresee as well?"

Lin Fan wondered if the Fusion Zombie seemed to have such an ability.

Is it standard equipment or what?

Of course, he couldn’t let it escape.

Lin Fan swung his sword, hunting all the zombies before him, then leapt into the air, targeting the Fusion Zombie below as it sent obstructing zombies flying like a thug.

Truly cruel, discarding even its kin in its desperation to escape.

Yet, from such a scene, he also saw how humans, when facing danger, could be just as ruthless, betraying those around them to stay alive.

Lin Fan’s wrist flicked as he brandished Frost Mourning. In an instant, the fleeing Fusion Zombie felt its lower half separate uncontrollably from its body. Looking down, it indeed saw its lower body had been cut off.

Thump!

The Fusion Zombie fell to the ground, its crimson blood flowing.

Then the severed flesh began to wriggle, not regenerating, but rather entwined by countless red threads that reconnected the sliced lower half, in a matter of moments.

"Can’t it regenerate severed limbs, or does it simply not want to waste too much?"

The Fusion Zombie raised its head to see the human before it and growled.

Squelch!

Lin Fan directly severed its head.

Just like with any other zombie, beheading them was pretty much the end.

He cut open the zombie’s head and extracted the colorful crystal. With other zombies, he could be more casual and collect materials afterward, but the preciousness of the colorful crystal was high. If it were lost or buried and not found, it would be a huge loss.

After a while.

Lin Fan looked around at the situation, surrounded by piles of corpses. This encirclement had more zombies than he had expected, beaten only by the number in a horde he’d encountered a while ago, making this the second-largest.

Looking up at the roof, he saw the mysterious zombie had disappeared without a trace.

Upon reaching the rooftop, he saw nothing.

"Strange, where did it run off to?"

Lin Fan looked into the distance but still couldn’t see that figure, then turned his gaze back to the plaza. The number of Evolutionary Zombies was not many; most were ordinary zombies.

The biggest gain was obtaining a colorful crystal.
