Chapter 42
“I’ll risk it!”
Fang Bai gritted his teeth and drove the loader directly into the narrow path.
The path was barely wider than the loader. After driving in, Fang Bai leveled the bucket and pushed straight through the middle.
The loader accelerated again, ramming its way through the narrow path. Halfway through, Fang Bai heard heavy footsteps behind him and felt the ground tremble slightly. His heart instantly tightened, his whole body tense.
The zombie was still at least two or three hundred meters away from him, yet it already possessed such a terrifying aura!
Truly terrifying!
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Fang Bai continued to drive forward. When the loader emerged from the narrow path, a vast square suddenly appeared before him. There was a musical fountain in the middle of the square, but the large open space around the fountain was enough for the loader to maneuver.
However, Fang Bai had changed his mind. He didn’t plan to fight the Fat Zombie in the square.
“Come on.”
After driving the loader out of the narrow path, Fang Bai immediately turned the vehicle around, facing the path again. Looking at the Fat Zombie that was about to catch up, he muttered to himself.
The next moment, he slammed on the accelerator!
Rumble!
The huge bucket lowered, tilting forward, blocking the cab while the tip of the bucket slanted forward. Then, the engine roared, and the loader instantly transformed into a chariot, charging forward at full speed!
“Let’s see who’s tougher!”
Fang Bai held his breath, fastened his seatbelt, leaned back in the driver’s seat, and prepared for the upcoming impact.
At this moment, the Fat Zombie had no room to dodge. Its only option was to face the powerful impact of the loader head-on!
“Roar!”
The Fat Zombie roared, its firm fat rippling like waves of flesh. Its palm slammed down on the ground from above.
Rumble!
The earth shook, and a khaki light rippled like water. Clusters of stone spikes rapidly advanced from where the Fat Zombie’s palm struck the ground!
Stone spikes, a full meter tall, surged forward like a stone dragon. Seeing this, Fang Bai yanked the control lever, and the moment the bucket leveled, it collided with the stone spikes.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Fang Bai felt a series of violent vibrations. The bucket smashed into the stone spikes, clusters of them were flattened and sent flying by the bucket. Stones splashed everywhere, disappearing without a trace in the air.
Shaken, Fang Bai slammed on the accelerator. Amidst the roar of the engine, all the stone spikes were flattened and shattered, and the loader rushed towards the Fat Zombie.
At this time, Fang Bai only had time to slightly raise the bucket!
“Roar!”
The Fat Zombie roared and its arm shot up, slamming into the bucket. Fang Bai felt his ears ringing.
Bang!
Fang Bai felt the seatbelt instantly restrain him, tightening around him, but his head still slammed into the steering wheel. His head spun, and blood flowed from a wound.
Fang Bai propped himself up, his mind still clear. He released the accelerator, looked at the Fat Zombie that had fallen to the ground with its legs severed by the loader, grabbed the control lever with one hand, pulled up the bucket, and then slammed it down again.
Bang!
In the end, the zombie’s flesh and blood body was no match for the steel-forged, hydraulically driven loader bucket!
The Fat Zombie’s legs were instantly smashed into smithereens by Fang Bai, turning into a pile of mush on the ground.
Fang Bai immediately released the brake, moved the loader forward a bit, and swung the raised bucket down again.
“Roar!”
The zombie’s raised palm snapped with a crack as it was smashed. Fang Bai raised the bucket again and smashed it down.
But Fang Bai suddenly discovered that a force was gathering beneath the loader. Khaki light surged, and clusters of stone spikes erupted!
The protective plate at the bottom of the loader was instantly pierced, and the parts and equipment underneath were all shattered by the stone spikes. The raised bucket also stopped, hanging in mid-air.
“Roar!”
The zombie roared, and Fang Bai felt a khaki light gathering beneath the vehicle again.
“This is probably really a BOSS. It can even use skills. This is really beyond the scope!
I haven’t even seen a single skill up to now!”
Fang Bai quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, opened the door, and climbed onto the roof of the loader. Looking at the crippled but still roaring Fat Zombie, emanating a powerful aura that made him feel oppressed and fearful, he muttered to himself.
And the skill the Fat Zombie had just unleashed made Fang Bai think of something.
“If I k*ll it, maybe… it will drop a skill?”
At this moment, even the calm Fang Bai couldn’t help but get excited. He had clearly seen the power of the skill the Fat Zombie had just released.
Clusters of stone spikes, one or two meters wide and one meter tall, that could continuously surge forward.
The first time they were flattened by the loader, the second time they succeeded in a single blow, directly destroying the bottom of the loader and paralyzing it.
If it could drop a skill, Fang Bai wasn’t boasting, but even if a hundred zombies were chasing after him, he could sweep them all away with this skill.
Fang Bai thought about it, but his mind remained calm. Standing on the roof of the loader, his hands didn’t stop moving.
After glancing at the thick, wrinkled skin on the Fat Zombie’s head, Fang Bai gave up on using ordinary arrows and directly took out the green-quality arrow from his bow bag.
“Equipment: Excellent Three-Edged Armor-Piercing Arrow.”
“Effect: +1 Damage, +1 Armor Penetration.”
“No need to equip, can be used directly.”
Fang Bai quickly nocked the heavy arrow onto the compound bow and drew the string.
However, at this moment, Fang Bai’s Mental Power suddenly detected that the khaki light gathering at the bottom of the loader had disappeared. That power instantly appeared in front of the Fat Zombie, which was also in front of Fang Bai, and instantly took shape.
Fang Bai instantly felt a sense of alarm. He rolled down violently, landing on the ground. Almost the moment he landed, four or five stone spikes, over a meter long, grazed the roof of the loader and pierced the wall beside it, embedding themselves deeply.
After piercing the wall, the stone spikes disappeared, leaving behind a wall riddled with holes like a sieve.
In front of the Fat Zombie, that power condensed again. Just a second later, a series of stone spikes shot out again, piercing through the spot where Fang Bai had just been.
“D*mn it.”
Fang Bai cursed in a low voice, his heart pounding in his chest as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
He was almost pierced by the stone spikes. Stone spikes over a meter long and twenty to thirty centimeters in diameter could directly cut him in half.
If Fang Bai hadn’t been highly alert and become slightly familiar with the fluctuations of the Fat Zombie’s skill release, he wouldn’t have been able to dodge it at all.
Hiding behind the loader, Fang Bai’s Mental Power once again sensed the power fluctuations of the skill gathering in front of the Fat Zombie. It was poised but not released, as if waiting for Fang Bai to come out.
Sensing this, Fang Bai’s brows furrowed tightly.
“Does this zombie use skills without any consumption, without any cooldown? Like a machine gun!”
At this moment, Fang Bai truly experienced what it meant to be suppressed at the level of life.
If it weren’t for the loader, he wouldn’t have any qualifications to fight this zombie at all.
He couldn’t get close, and he didn’t have the ability to kite it. With the machine gun-like stone spikes, he would probably be turned into a sieve and smashed into mincemeat the moment he got close!
Fang Bai took a deep breath. The power condensed in front of the Fat Zombie behind him remained, it remained…
“Wait!”
Fang Bai was suddenly startled. At that instant, a burst of stone spikes suddenly erupted from beneath the Fat Zombie’s smashed legs, instantly surging towards Fang Bai from under the loader!
