"Big... Big brother, I'm sorry, I... I drove off course..."
Before Ye Feng could answer, Xiao Xiao's apologetic voice rang out. Her pretty face was filled with anxiety and shame!
Because of the continuous combat, she had to constantly adjust the Humvee to dodge bullets and suicidal crashes from the Bald Gang vehicles. Although she had tried her best to correct it, she still ended up deviating from the course...
"Oh, it's fine~" Ye Feng squeezed Xiao Xiao's cheek. "With such intense fighting just now, it's already impressive that you managed to keep it roughly on course~"
"Besides, I intended to come here from the start. This just saved me some trouble!~" Ye Feng's last sentence was clearly directed at Xue Yuli.
"What?" Xue Yuli looked astonished. Someone actually knew the location of the furious zombie zone and came here deliberately? Before, Xue Yuli thought Ye Feng didn't know about the furious zombie zone, but now...
"Mm~!" Ye Feng nodded slightly, opened the car door, took out the double-edged mountain axe he had carried on his back when they were in Gasoline Town, and got out.
*Hiss!*
A newly emerged zombie on the ground was instantly cut in half by the double-edged mountain axe in Ye Feng's hand.
"Ding~ Host has killed a Tier 1 Strength-type zombie, gaining 5 usable points~" The system's mechanical voice immediately sounded.
Ye Feng's words were not entirely to comfort Xiao Xiao; coming to this furious zombie zone was indeed part of his plan. Ever since he discovered that cultivating arcane energy consumed more usable points, and he only had a few hundred left, Ye Feng had been pondering where to acquire more usable points. When he learned from the Quirky Egg that there was an extremely dangerous place in the sand dunes with a large number of powerful zombies, he formulated his plan. When they were escaping earlier, Ye Feng had told Xiao Xiao to drive southeast, which was roughly the direction of the furious zombie zone, though the exact location differed. Xiao Xiao's deviation... ironically saved him some trouble now...
"Ding~ Host has killed..." Hearing the familiar mechanical voice, Ye Feng happily rushed towards the zombies that were constantly crawling out of the sand.
"Roar~ Cough cough~... Roar~"
"Heh heh~ Ga~..."
At this moment, only the roars of zombies could be heard. The people from the Bald Gang had all fled, and those who were a little slower had all become food for the zombies.
*Hiss! Hiss!*
*Puff!*
*Bang!*
"Ke ke~ Roar~..."
*Hiss!*
Next, the sounds of the mountain axe cutting, zombies spraying blood, impacts, and zombie roars continued to echo.
Half an hour later, most of the zombies in the vicinity of the Humvee had been eliminated by Ye Feng, leaving only two robust zombies that had grown exoskeletons. One of them, the one missing its left eye, was the same zombie that had flipped the Bald Gang's war chariot at the beginning. After consuming a large amount of flesh and blood, the gaunt zombie had become plump all over, even growing an exoskeleton...
"Beep~ Alert: Detected a Tier 3 Strength-type zombie, 10 meters ahead~"
"Beep~ Alert: Detected a Tier 3 Agility-type zombie, 8 meters to the side~"
Hearing the system's alerts, Ye Feng was quite surprised. He had noticed these two zombies much earlier. They were initially Tier 2, but after consuming a large amount of human flesh and blood, they had evolved into Tier 3...
"Ga~" The one-eyed zombie shrieked and lunged fiercely at Ye Feng. This time, Ye Feng didn't use his double-edged mountain axe. Instead, he intended to confront it head-on to train.
*Boom!*
A dull impact sound rang out. The sand beneath Ye Feng's feet kicked up high, and he himself was sent flying backward, crashing into a sand dune...
"Big brother!" Seeing this, Xiao Xiao became anxious. She no longer cared about using the zombies in front of her to practice controlling arcane energy. She quickly drew her Beretta BU9 and shot the zombie in front of her, intending to go and help.
"Cough cough~ Xiao Xiao, don't come over!"
"I'm fine~" Just then, Ye Feng climbed out of the sand dune, coughed a couple of times, and waved his hand at Xiao Xiao. Hearing this, Xiao Xiao, though worried, stopped her advance.
"It's really like Xue Yuli said, this guy's strength is nothing ordinary Tier 3 Strength-type zombies can match!" Ye Feng patted the sand off himself and muttered. He had encountered Tier 3 Strength-type zombies in Desperate City before, but their strength was nowhere near this.
"Hiss~ Ga~!" At this moment, the one-eyed Tier 3 Strength-type zombie lunged at Ye Feng again. Ye Feng's expression turned solemn. He exerted force with his legs and lunged forward, meeting the opponent head-on.
*Bang! ~ Bang!*
Two dull impact sounds occurred almost simultaneously. After exchanging a fierce punch, the one-eyed Tier 3 Strength-type zombie and Ye Feng both retreated.
"Uh!~" Even Ye Feng felt intense pain when the one-eyed Tier 3 Strength-type zombie's fist, equipped with an exoskeleton, struck his waist and ribs head-on. But the next second, the pain began to subside.
"Hmm?" Ye Feng was somewhat surprised. The primordial arcane energy within him had actually mobilized on its own, flowing to his waist and ribs where he was hit by the one-eyed Tier 3 Strength-type zombie, seemingly... repairing his injured tissues. In a short while, Ye Feng could barely feel the pain. Strangely, he felt that the strength in his muscles had become even greater...
"Whoa, this primordial arcane energy has such a function?" Ye Feng was quite surprised, and then he rushed towards the one-eyed Tier 3 Strength-type zombie again.
*Boom boom boom~! ...* The sounds of dull impacts continued to ring out. Ye Feng didn't use any weapons like knives or spears. Instead, he engaged in a series of flesh-and-blood collisions with the one-eyed Tier 3 Strength-type zombie. In the beginning, in their head-on clashes, Ye Feng would still be in immense pain from being hit by the one-eyed Tier 3 Strength-type zombie, even groaning and sometimes having to dodge. But as his primordial arcane energy repaired him, Ye Feng began to withstand the one-eyed Tier 3 Strength-type zombie's attacks head-on. And the pain from the opponent's attacks on him became less and less noticeable...
Not far away, by the Humvee,
"Xiao Xiao, what is Ye Feng doing? He's just taking hits?" Xue Yuli watched Ye Feng and the one-eyed Tier 3 Strength-type zombie locked in combat, utterly bewildered.
"Big brother should be exercising his body~" Xiao Xiao had seen similar situations before, and Ye Feng had mentioned some things, but Xiao Xiao hadn't elaborated to Xue Yuli.
"Exercising his body?" Xue Yuli frowned, finding it difficult to understand.
"This primordial arcane energy seems to be able to temper one's body, making one's muscles stronger~" After verifying with the one-eyed Tier 3 Strength-type zombie, Ye Feng was quite pleased. After a round of combat, he found that his body's ability to withstand blows and his explosive power had both improved... The only regret was that the progress bars for "Strength (Black Iron Primary)" and "Strength (Black Iron Primary)" on his personal status panel hadn't changed much.
"Hiss~ Ga~!" At this moment, the one-eyed Tier 3 Strength-type zombie roared and lunged at Ye Feng again.
"Roar~ Hiss~" The other zombie with an exoskeleton also let out a strange cry. However, instead of attacking Ye Feng, it headed straight for Xiao Xiao by the Humvee...
