"Damn, it's a zombie?!"
Ye Feng was quite surprised.
He thought someone had left a recording device in the storage room playing back sounds, but it turned out to be a mutated third-tier zombie.
"Lingxi, Xiaoxiao, there might be a mutated third-tier zombie inside, called a Deceiver!~"
Ye Feng cautioned the two women, then stepped forward and violently kicked open the storage room door.
"You damned darkie, get lost and plant cotton!"
As soon as the door was kicked open, the scolding voice sounded again.
"Huh?"
Ye Feng followed the sound and found the source of the scolding was a fat zombie, dressed in a white shirt and black leather shoes, its body decaying all over, tied up and bound beneath a desk.
There was a nameplate on the desk, indicating it was the manager~
"What a strange zombie, it can actually speak human language!~"
Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"This is a mutated third-tier zombie, called a 'Deceiver.' It imitates sounds made by living beings; it doesn't speak with thought..."
Ye Feng explained what the system prompt had just said.
"Oh, so that's how it is~"
Xiaoxiao nodded and observed the Deceiver zombie again.
"Little one, you know so much~"
Lingxi joined the conversation, her tone filled with surprise.
After all, just a minute ago, Ye Feng seemed to know nothing, and now he was practically an expert on Deceiver zombies...
"Uh... let's get going. Let's explore this strangely shaped building first~"
"From the outside, it looks like the city center of Despair City~"
Ye Feng scratched his head.
After speaking, Ye Feng ended the life of the third-tier zombie, the Deceiver, with a single strike...
...
Afterward, the three continued their exploration.
To Ye Feng's surprise, the elevator in this seemingly abandoned building still had power, and many lights were on.
However, the three of them did not choose to take the elevator, as encountering unexpected situations in such a confined space would be difficult to handle...
...
"Ding~ Detected that the host has arrived at Despair City. System upgrade has begun, progress 0.01%..........."
The three walked up three floors along the stairs and came to a spacious balcony for a brief rest when the system's voice suddenly entered Ye Feng's mind.
"So the system's previous special prompt 'Despair City' meant that the system could be upgraded here!" Ye Feng immediately understood.
"But this progress is so slow..."
Looking at the "0.01%" that remained unmoving in his mind for a long time, Ye Feng was a little speechless.
"Ah Xiao, damn his mother, I actually got separated from the captain when dealing with that wave of giant rats!"
"Captain my ass, is Chu Xin that little bitch fit to be captain?"
"Ah Kun, why are you..."
"Ah Xiao, it's just the two of us here, stop pretending. You've wanted that little hussy for a long time, haven't you!"
"Ah Kun, haven't you too!"
...
At this moment, two male voices that Ye Feng was not unfamiliar with sounded out. They were Ah Xiao and Ah Kun from Mecha City.
Amidst their voices, the sound of footsteps could also be heard.
"Shh~"
Ye Feng gestured for Xiaoxiao and Lingxi to be silent. The two women immediately understood and quietly followed Ye Feng to hide in a cubicle.
"Speaking of which, Ah Kun, that beautiful woman in the red dress in the Hummer, did she come in too?! That's the real top-tier stuff! *Slurp*~"
"I saw the Hummer drive into the underground passage. If nothing unexpected happened, she should have come in. What, Ah Xiao, you're lusting after her body?"
"Damn turtle Kun, you're full of it. The way you were peeping at her, you looked like you wanted to devour her alive... I really don't understand what the lord of Mecha City is thinking. It's the apocalypse, and he still has the rule that you can't *force* women. Go to hell, you brain-dead idiot..."
"Right, Ah Kun, that kid driving the Hummer, have you seen him?"
"No, but if I see him again, I'll definitely tear him apart with my bare hands, and then, right in front of him, I'll brutally kill his woman..."
"Don't, I don't want to die!"
"Even if you're dead, you can still enjoy it while you're warm..."
"I'll go first! You secretly raped and killed a bar waitress a few days ago!"
...
Just as Ye Feng and the two women hid in the cubicle, Ah Kun and Ah Xiao's voices sounded again.
Hearing this, Ye Feng frowned, and a hint of anger flickered in his eyes. Lingxi also showed a frosty expression.
"This..."
Peeking through the gaps in the cubicle, Ye Feng was stunned and surprised to see the people making the sounds.
The speakers were not Ah Xiao and Ah Kun from Mecha City as he had initially expected, but a one-armed zombie with a beer belly.
It was similar to the one seen earlier at the storage room by the elevator. It should also be a third-tier mutated zombie, a Deceiver.
The voices they heard were likely the Deceiver imitating Ah Xiao and Ah Kun's voices and repeating them...
"Lingxi, no!"
Seeing Lingxi getting agitated and about to rush out to finish off the Deceiver with her Angel's Blade, Ye Feng immediately stopped her.
The evolutionary paths of zombies were diverse. While this Deceiver had evolved advanced vocal imitation abilities, its strength and agility were not much different from ordinary zombies. Its combat power was only around that of a first-tier zombie, so the danger was not high...
Besides, Ye Feng wanted to hear what exactly Ah Xiao and Ah Kun had said...
"Ah Xiao, let's quickly find the Despair Potion, leave this place, and then defect to Brad Base~"
"I've had enough of the stupid rules in Mecha City..."
...
The Deceiver zombie wandered around the entire floor, continuously muttering the words spoken by Ah Xiao and Ah Kun.
Ye Feng also gained a lot of information from this, such as the fact that besides Ah Xiao and Ah Kun, there were other people in Mecha City who planned to defect to Brad Base, and they held important positions...
"Little one, watch out behind you!"
Suddenly, Lingxi's expression changed.
As she shouted, she kicked Ye Feng flying and simultaneously pulled Xiaoxiao to the side. She herself also dodged sharply to the side, hiding behind a large pillar.
"Bang bang bang!~... ."
Almost at the same moment, a series of gunshots erupted from behind them.
The wooden cubicle where the three were located was instantly riddled with holes...
"Hey, hey, Ah Xiao, the Deceiver zombie you failed to kill because you forgot to wear your mech earlier has brought us an unexpected bounty!"
Ah Kun, seated in a mech, said coldly through the mech's loudspeaker.
"Isn't that right? It's actually the two people we most wanted to see!"
Ah Xiao's voice followed closely.
"Keng~ Bang bang~... Keng~......."
Immediately after, the sound of mechs walking echoed in Ye Feng and the others' ears, and it was getting closer.
"Come out, kid who rode the Hummer, we'll leave you with your corpse intact!~"
Ah Xiao taunted as he controlled his mech, approaching them.
Ye Feng remained silent, constantly observing the movements of the two mechs through the glass of the side window.
"Kid, stop wasting your efforts. Your AK47, even with grenades, is futile against our mechs!"
Ah Kun chimed in.
Ye Feng said nothing, quietly retrieving the electromagnetic pulse bomb he had bought from the [Shop] a few days ago, costing over 500 survival coins per piece.
"I didn't expect it to be useful so soon~"
Ye Feng muttered as he looked at the cylindrical metal box in his hand.
When Ah Xiao and Ah Kun's mechs got closer, he quickly set the EMP bomb and threw it out.
