Ye Feng turned his head and saw that the speaker was a young man with a slicked-back hairstyle, a pointed chin, and a thin face.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao got out of the car with weapons on their backs. Many people saw them from afar and avoided them, but there were always exceptions...
The slicked-back young man in front of them was clearly one such exception!
"Hmph!"
Seeing Ye Feng look at him, the slicked-back young man disdainfully turned his head away and looked at the black zombie playing with the ball. "Normally, zombies are only capable of biting, but zombies of tier four and above might retain some instincts from when they were alive, such as exercising, playing ball, or jumping rope."
"At higher levels, they might even possess some combat skills from their master's lifetime..."
As he spoke, the slicked-back young man turned around, bent down, and looked at Xiao Xiao with a fawning expression, "Distinguished lady, my name is Guo Zhenchen. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
"When you travel, it's best to bring a reliable servant!"
"A servant who can't even recognize a tier four zombie might get you killed!"
The slicked-back young man glared at Ye Feng with a mocking expression.
It was obvious that the other party mistook Xiao Xiao for a pampered young lady from a major power or a powerful faction, and Ye Feng for a servant...
"Tier four zombie? Isn't that a pretty strong zombie?"
Xiao Xiao looked at the black zombie playing with the ball not far away with some bewilderment.
"Precisely! Most people wouldn't know this!"
The slicked-back young man looked proud. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he turned his head mechanically to look in the same direction as Xiao Xiao, "Wait... wait... tier... tier four zombie..."
"Hiss~ Roar!~"
At almost the same moment, the black zombie playing with the ball dropped the ball, stomped its feet, and rushed towards Ye Feng and the others at an extremely fast speed.
"Whoosh!~"
In the blink of an eye, the tier four zombie playing with the ball arrived in front of Ye Feng. Its muscular arm lunged towards Ye Feng's waist and ribs, and its mouth widened to an extreme, almost splitting at the corners, exhaling a large amount of foul odor as it lunged at Ye Feng's neck.
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed, and his body twisted instantly, perfectly evading the tier four zombie's arm.
In a flash of lightning, his hand flickered, and the Tang sword instantly appeared in his hand.
Arcane energy surged from Ye Feng's body into the Tang sword, quickly forming a special edge at the tip of the blade.
"Whoosh!~"
Ye Feng swung the Tang sword, which was now glowing, at the head of the tier four zombie. The zombie instantly stopped its clawing and biting.
However, due to its immense momentum, it continued to charge forward, unfortunately slamming into the slicked-back young man Guo Zhenchen, who had been frozen in shock by the tier four zombie, sending him flying several meters away...
"Ahhhh~!"
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'm very rich..."
After being pinned to the ground by the tier four zombie, Guo Zhenchen, terrified, burst into tears and even begged the zombie for mercy.
The tier four zombie's head had split perfectly in half from the middle, and black and green fluids gushed out, drenching Guo Zhenchen's chest, causing him to wet himself in fear...
"The power of this 'Cun Mang' is indeed hard to control!"
Looking at the tier four zombie that had split from head to chest, Ye Feng couldn't help but mutter.
"Cun Mang" was a special blade he had finally mastered through diligent practice in recent days. He had only intended to lop off a portion of the tier four zombie's head, but he had ended up cutting it all the way to its chest...
"Cousin, what's wrong?"
Suddenly, a rather anxious female voice was heard from not far away.
"Ah~ Ah~!... Zom... zombie... tier four zombie..."
Hearing the woman's voice, Guo Zhenchen immediately screamed in panic and struggled.
After struggling for a while, Guo Zhenchen, who thought he was dead, was suddenly surprised. He realized that although the tier four zombie was on top of him, it wasn't biting him...
Upon closer inspection, he saw that the zombie's head had split in two at some point, with foul-smelling fluid everywhere. It was thoroughly dead...
"Cousin, are you okay?"
At this moment, a young woman with a ponytail ran to Guo Zhenchen's side, asking with concern. Several middle-aged men followed behind her.
"I... I'm fine..."
Guo Zhenchen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked in the direction Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were walking towards their off-road vehicle.
"This... this is a tier four zombie?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man who had followed the ponytail woman spoke, his tone filled with shock.
"What?"
"It... it really is... although it seems to be a low-tier four..."
"Zhenchen, did you kill this low-tier four zombie?"
A group of people simultaneously turned their gaze to Guo Zhenchen.
Guo Zhenchen paused slightly and nodded, "That's right. This beast suddenly attacked and scared me to death, but fortunately, I was clever and ambushed it, and then..."
"Cousin, you're amazing!"
"Zhenchen, what kind of weapon did you use? It's so powerful that it split the head of this tier four zombie in half! Ordinary bullets aren't very effective against these things!"
"Yeah! Yeah!"
"That's a secret!"
...
While Guo Zhenchen was shamelessly bragging, a middle-aged man with a cross-shaped scar on his face turned towards Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao.
After all, they were the closest to the scene just now. He didn't believe Guo Zhenchen had the strength to kill a tier four zombie...
...
After Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao got into the car, they quickly drove towards the city gate of Mech City.
The efficiency of processing entry procedures at Mech City was quite high. The scene that had been crowded with cars earlier had already disappeared.
After paying one Arcane Yuan coin, Ye Feng drove the car through the city gate under the guidance of the guards.
"Big Brother, what's going on? It's so chaotic~"
As soon as the car passed the gate, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but exclaim.
"Indeed!~"
Looking at the tall buildings ahead, Ye Feng was also quite surprised.
Because after entering the city gate, there weren't many tall buildings in the area. Instead, there was a large flat expanse, with all sorts of tents erected everywhere. Except for the tents being somewhat orderly, everything else was messy, not at all like a large human survivor base, but rather a severely deteriorated refugee camp.
Everywhere they looked, there were people in ragged clothes. Many were begging with broken basins and bowls... occasional shouts and curses could be heard...
In the center was a straight passage, guarded by soldiers with weapons. At the end of the passage was another city gate.
"This should just be the outskirts of Mech City, quite far from the core urban area~"
After a brief observation, Ye Feng quickly understood.
He had previously inquired about Mech City from Han Qiuli at the Tyrannosaurus Rex Base. Mech City was divided into three major areas: the outskirts, the outer city, and the inner city.
The further inside, the more prosperous it was, the smaller the area, and the higher the entrance fee...
While Ye Feng was thinking, the solar-powered off-road vehicle had arrived at the gate of the outer city.
"Fee... 20 Arcane Yuan coins! Wow!"
Seeing the writing on the large blackboard by the city wall at the entrance to the outer city, Ye Feng couldn't help but be astonished.
Considering that the entry fee to the outer perimeter was only one Arcane Yuan coin, and some people had even sneaked in by hiding in the crowd...
