Chapter 18: Level 3 monster, the ruthless Wang Yang!

The night was as dark as ink. Wang Yang and his group advanced step by step, with a large number of zombies lying dead on the ground.

Behind them, as long as there were still people in the rooms, they all turned on their lights in unison to illuminate the path for them.

Finally, Wang Yang and the others advanced to within a hundred meters of the gymnasium, and the zombies outside the gym had been mostly lured and killed.

The group sat on the ground, recovering their stamina.

Wang Yang tagged Zhang Dahai in the chat room, asking about the current situation.

Zhang Dahai didn't reply, only sending a single picture.

The image showed that there were still quite a few zombies inside the gymnasium, including numerous level 1 zombies, and those three special zombies were still feeding.

"How about we wait until those three zombies finish eating before we go in?" Zhou Tao gasped heavily and said: "Anyway, we've killed so many zombies, those three zombies probably can't evolve further."

Huang Hao agreed: "Yeah, this way we can let them fight among themselves while we reap the rewards."

"Right! If we let those zombies eat the other zombies, they'll be much easier to deal with!" Wu Huihui's eyes lit up, thinking this seemed like a good idea.

"No!" Wang Ao said fiercely: "Resting now would just be giving the enemy time to develop!"

"Even if they evolve successfully, they might not be that powerful... after all, there are only three of them. We can just block the stairwell," a girl following Wu Huihui whispered.

She was a complete freeloader who had initially received a zombie immunity virus shot through her connection with Wu Huihui, and had no choice but to come along.

All players who had received the zombie immunity virus shot were here; those who didn't come would be considered public enemies.

Hearing this, Wang Ao frowned and looked at Wang Yang: "Wang Yang, you're not thinking the same way, are you?"

Wang Yang was silent for a moment, then said: "Then let's rest for three more minutes."

Just then, Zhang Dahai, seeing they were taking no action, quickly tagged them in the group chat.

Everyone opened the picture and saw that the three zombies now had red muscles visible on their bodies, resembling red demons, looking very eerie.

"So terrifying, maybe we should just forget it and go defend the dormitory instead," the girl who had suggested resting earlier said.

"Sometimes retreating can be a good strategy, but now is definitely not the time," Wang Yang took a deep breath and spoke.

Although Wang Yang wasn't as intimidating as Wang Ao, he certainly didn't lack leadership ability.

His words redirected the hawkish faction's attention away from the girl, avoided unnecessary internal conflict, and helped everyone reaffirm their direction.

"Miaomiao, you wait here in case zombies appear from other areas," Wu Huihui said to the timid girl.

"Okay!" the girl agreed immediately.

This girl wasn't just scared - she was also brainless.

Her behavior immediately drew many angry stares.

What a waste of a tube of virus immunity serum!

Some people are just like that - even when trying to coast through a game, they can't do it properly, and it's probably similar in real life too.

The group moved forward again in a large formation, their pace quickening slightly.

"What's there to be so fierce about," the timid girl muttered quietly, then hurriedly scampered back to the dormitory.

If zombies really came charging out all at once, she wouldn't even have a chance to run.

Besides, even if she left early, Wu Huihui, her good big sister, wouldn't blame her.

"Shh... there are still many zombies inside. Let's stick to the plan and kill them one by one!" Wang Ao's rough voice was deliberately softened as much as possible.

Everyone nodded. As they approached the main entrance, a slender boy stepped forward, holding a long stick.

The slender boy was the professional zombie lure specialist - he was always the one who lured out zombies for everyone to kill.

The others stopped advancing and very tacitly formed an encirclement.

The slender boy was shocked when he saw the situation inside the gymnasium. He carefully tapped the ground with his wooden stick.

A zombie turned its head, only seeing a swaying wooden stick, but no person.

After hesitating for a moment, it walked over. But just as it stepped out the doorway, a fire axe chopped its head off.

Wang Ao retrieved his fire axe and lifted his chin toward the slender boy, signaling him to continue.

With heavy weapons in hand, a single ordinary zombie was no match for Wang Ao at all.

On the current points leaderboard, he held the top position, seemingly creating a significant gap from the others.

The others secretly regretted not getting this 1 point.

Next, the slender boy continued luring zombies.

Everything seemed to be going successfully, but obviously things couldn't progress so smoothly. On the seventh zombie lure, a Giant-Strength Zombie emerged!

Wang Ao swung his axe down but didn't kill it!

The commotion immediately escalated, with dozens of zombies pouring out.

Fortunately, they didn't form a zombie horde. Since that was the case, the players had room to maneuver!

An armed adult is much stronger than an ordinary zombie!

—After getting rabies vaccines, the terrifying upright apes would show wild dogs what true cruelty means!

The zombies were quickly eliminated. Wang Yang's group lost three people, with five seriously injured.

The real casualties were caused by those three types of level 1 zombies.

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!!" A dark-skinned boy clutched his spilled intestines, muttering in panic, his forehead covered in sweat.

With injuries like these, without a miracle, death was certain.

Wang Ao frowned, glanced at him, then ignored him, his fierce eyes turning toward the gymnasium.

Wu Huihui showed pity on her face and was about to say something when a tremendous roar erupted from inside the gymnasium.

Immediately after, a brutish figure charged out of the gymnasium.

He stood over two meters tall, his body wrapped in patterned red muscles, with faint muscle steam swirling around his body, making him terrifying to behold.

Some people were so frightened they lost their voices and fled in panic.

The group had just been scattered by the zombie rush, and now suddenly facing such a huge creature, it was extremely difficult to muster courage!

It was indeed a level 3 monster!

Wang Yang's eyebrow twitched. Seeing that the large zombie's first target wasn't himself, he quietly lowered his raised arm.

"CRACK!"

The large zombie swung its arm in a sweeping motion, hitting a student who immediately slammed against the wall, bones shattering.

This scene stunned everyone.

Wang Ao immediately put away his fire axe and turned to run.

He was reckless, but not stupid!

In this situation, not running meant waiting for death.

Just then, a gunshot rang out through the quiet night.

Everyone slammed on the brakes and turned to look.

They saw Wang Yang standing close behind the large zombie, holding a black handgun!

At this life-and-death moment, his back trembled with tension, his pupils dilated, his teeth chattered, yet he stared with absolute focus at the large zombie's head.

Using human lives as bait was all for this headshot!

Wang Yang was ruthless enough, and sharp enough!
