Chapter 440: Difficult Kill
Wang Tao almost thought he was dazzled.
Either it doesn't break the defense, or it breaks the defense and directly causes 100,000 damage?
"Roar——"
The sledgehammer zombie roared, and Wang Tao could clearly see some flames appearing in its white eyes, but the flames quickly went out.
This means that Wang Tao's move [Hellfire] has ended, and 100,000 damage is the final result. If the flames in the zombie's eyes are not extinguished and continue to burn, then its consciousness and body will be burned to ashes by the hellfire.
Of course, Wang Tao didn't expect [Hellfire] to kill it in one second. Wang Tao was just unwilling to give up. He wanted to see if his strongest attack could break the defense. As long as he could deal 1 point of damage, it would be considered a success.
Now that the defense has finally been broken, Wang Tao's goal has been achieved, and he can retreat with satisfaction.
But the problem is that this is not 1 point of damage, but 100,000 damage!
And this sledgehammer zombie lord has a total of 300,000 blood, and it now has 200,000 left!
Wang Tao still has more than 1,000 awakening energies left, so he can use Hellfire once more!
In other words, he can make the Sledgehammer Zombie Lord lose another 100,000 HP! The Zombie Lord may only have one-third of his HP left.
If he leaves at this time, wouldn’t it be a pity?
After all, if two more [Hellfire] zombies come, he will die. However, due to insufficient awakening energy, Wang Tao can only release [Hellfire] once more at most, and he can’t release it for the third time! He doesn’t have time to fuse awakening crystal cores and awakening energy beads to increase awakening energy.
Just when Wang Tao was struggling whether to leave or continue fighting, he suddenly found something wrong.
“Huh?”
I saw a dense number of damage numbers appearing on the head of the Sledgehammer Zombie Lord.
[-128]
[-162]
[……]
After a moment of hesitation, Wang Tao realized that the damage on the zombie’s head was caused by the flames on his body!
Not only did his [Hellfire] break the defense, but the burning of [Sparks] could also break the defense?
Or... is the current Sledgehammer Zombie Lord already in a state of breaking the defense? !
In order to prove his guess, Wang Tao picked up the flaming long knife and chopped it down at its neck.
[-1833]
[-183]
[……]
Although it was only more than 2,000 damage, Wang Tao was very excited.
The defense was broken! He could break the defense by attacking the Sledgehammer Zombie Lord now!
As long as he did not cause 0 damage, Wang Tao would have the confidence to grind this lord zombie to death! The damage of 2,000 with one knife was higher than Wang Tao expected!
"Kill!"
This time, Wang Tao did not hesitate anymore and decided to continue fighting decisively.
As long as the health of the Sledgehammer Zombie Lord was reduced to less than 100,000, he could end the battle with another [Hellfire]!
The sledgehammer zombie lord was hit by Wang Tao's ultimate move [Hellfire]. In addition to losing blood, his movements also became a little slow, and Wang Tao took the opportunity to chop him many times.
After a while, it finally recovered and became the zombie lord with high defense, fast speed, great strength, and long-range attack.
Wang Tao had never encountered such an almighty zombie before. The zombies he encountered before had some shortcomings, and as long as he found those shortcomings, he could quickly deal with the opponent, but this zombie seemed to have no shortcomings, or Wang Tao had not found them yet...
There was no way, Wang Tao had to cancel the [Sparks] state first, otherwise he would not have the energy to awaken and use [Hellfire] later.
Although he could break the defense now, the sledgehammer zombie lord was wearing heavy explosion-proof armor, which wrapped his head tightly. Wang Tao had no way to attack its head, so he could only chop the neck, and it was not certain that he could chop it.
Therefore, the damage caused by Wang Tao is very low, generally around one or two thousand, and sometimes even a few hundred blood is cut with one knife. It is a waste to use [Sparks] at this time.
[Sparks] not only increases Wang Tao's fire damage and physical fitness, but also increases Wang Tao's speed and defense. After the awakening, Wang Tao's pressure doubled. Because he had to start avoiding attacks. If he was hit by the zombie's sledgehammer, it might be half his life!
Just when Wang Tao was fighting hard with this sledgehammer lord zombie, he suddenly heard Ding Yuqin's voice in his mind.
"Wang Tao! We have hidden the car. Where are you? Do you need support?"
This is the ability of the "sensing ring". In this weather, only the sensing rings of two people can communicate normally.
"If you need it, come quickly! It's just west of the parking place before!"
Wang Tao is not a person who can show off his ability. If he can easily solve the battle alone, there is no need to call others, but since he has to slowly grind blood, it is better to call people to fight together.
"Okay, wait for me!"
After a while, Wang Tao sensed that Ding Yuqin had appeared near him.
"This zombie is powerful, has high attack, strong defense, and fast speed. And it can also attack from a distance! It can continuously release shock waves, and its shock waves can hit thirty or forty meters! You must pay attention!"
"...Okay!"
After Ding Yuqin conveyed Wang Tao's words to others, they all felt a little pressured. After all, they had never seen Wang Tao describe a zombie like this before.
Everyone subconsciously looked at He Jijun. Because when the team is fighting, Wang Tao is the commander-in-chief of the team and He Jijun is the deputy commander. He Jijun has rich experience and a strong mentality. The more important the situation, the more veterans like him are needed to take charge.
"Let's divide into three teams and attack from the other three directions! Lan Yulian, you form a team alone..."
He Jijun calmly and quickly began to formulate tactics, and 30 seconds later, he picked up the machete.
"action!"
Whoosh——
Everyone flew out like arrows, and soon saw Wang Tao and the zombies fighting.
No one talks nonsense, just do it when you meet!
Considering that this zombie can send shock waves from a very long distance, everyone did not rush too hastily and were always on guard. Otherwise, they would be out of luck if they hit the shock wave head-on.
But it may be because this Sledgehammer Lord zombie has always had hatred for Wang Tao. It doesn't care about the newcomers at all and just keeps attacking Wang Tao crazily. Although this put a lot of pressure on Wang Tao, others took the opportunity to rush to the zombies!
Although some of them can attack from a distance, the distance of thirty meters is still a bit far, and due to the snowstorm, they can't be seen from a distance, so close combat is more convenient. Of course, melee combat is also more dangerous!
Under the siege of everyone, although the zombie did not cause too much damage, the zombies finally stopped paying attention to Wang Tao and began to attack others. This finally made Wang Tao breathe a sigh of relief. He glanced at the Sledgehammer Zombie Lord's health bar.
【161832/300000】
He had just fought for such a long time and lost more than 30,000 zombie blood.
Even if the defense can be broken, the zombie's defense is still too strong! If he only relied on himself, he didn't know when he would be able to wipe out 100,000 blood.
But it's different when teammates join. Although their individual damage is not as good as Wang Tao's, the combined damage of these ten people will definitely be more than Wang Tao's.
And the point is not how much it hurts, after all, everyone’s injuries are caused by scraping. The point is, because there are so many people attacking, the target of this sledgehammer zombie lord's hatred keeps changing. It is attracted to this person for a while, and then to that person for a while, causing its attack rhythm to not be as smooth as before.
Wang Tao felt that if he continued like this, he would be able to reduce the zombie's health to less than 100,000 in 10 minutes at most!
At this moment, the sledgehammer zombie lord suddenly raised the sledgehammer high, but did not bring it down immediately. It seems to be... accumulating strength!
"run!"
Wang Tao yelled immediately.
He didn't know what this move was, but it felt like a big move. Running was always a good idea.
"run!"
He Jijun also shouted at the same time. His intuition told him that if he didn't run at this time, he would probably die!
Everyone also obeyed the order and fled in all directions without any nostalgia.
Qu Shilin, who had never participated in such a scene, reacted a little slowly, but Wang Tao was always paying attention to the surrounding situation. He directly picked up Qu Shilin and ran away with a charge, without wasting any time.
A second later, the zombie's sledgehammer fell and hit the snow.
boom--
In a deafening roar, a huge shock wave centered on the Sledgehammer Zombie Lord and spread rapidly in a circle towards the surroundings.
Wherever the shock wave passed, the snow on the ground was evaporated first, revealing the ruins of buildings below. The ruins of the building were then lifted up with great force, exposing the ground beneath. In the end, even the ground was lifted up, and the soil, tree roots, and even stones turned into powder!
Wang Tao and the others were already running very fast, especially those with the charge ability, who could sprint thirty meters in an instant.
But compared with this shock wave, this speed is still too slow!
Moreover, the scope of this shock wave was extremely large. Even though Wang Tao had already run almost fifty meters away from the zombies, he was still caught up by the shock wave.
"Grass!"
Wang Tao cursed secretly, but he didn't have time to say anything more. He threw Qu Shilin directly in front of him, including Xiaobing and Xiaohuo. Then he turned around instantly, his body ignited with flames, raised his long knife high, and slashed at the huge shock wave.
boom--
Although the contact between the flames and the shock wave did not make much sound, Qu Shilin behind him was shocked and dizzy.
The shock wave was very strong, but facing Wang Tao at full strength, he was still divided into two halves like water flow. Qu Shilin, Xiao Bing, and Xiao Huo behind him did not suffer much damage from the shock wave.
However, Wang Tao was knocked backwards rapidly by the shock wave. Sparks were worn out on his shoes and the ground, and his blood volume was decreasing crazily.
Wang Tao immediately held the knife behind his back and stabbed it hard into the ground.
Stab——
Half of the blade of the sharp knife was inserted into the ground, and sparks flew everywhere.
Wang Tao's retreating trend finally stopped slowly, and finally stopped not far from Qu Shilin. A dozen-meter-long knife mark that was still burning with flames was left on the ground.
"Report casualties!"
Wang Tao yelled, then kicked off his back foot suddenly, a crack appeared on the ground, and he turned into a meteor and rushed towards the Sledgehammer Zombie Lord without hesitation.
The more times this happens, the less likely we are to give the enemy a chance. He still has fighting ability, and he must buy time for his teammates.
"Can't die!"
"The leg seems to be broken..."
"I'm alive!"
"Come to me, all of you, and I'll treat you!"
"..."
In the midst of the snow, Wang Tao was relieved for a while, especially when Lan Yulian was fine. As long as they could still talk and the nurse was still alive, there was probably no danger to their lives.
When Wang Tao came to the Sledgehammer Zombie, his eyes suddenly fixed.
【101312/300000】
Its HP was reduced by 50,000!
Does this ultra-large-scale shock wave consume HP?
Wang Tao had no time to think, he came to the Sledgehammer Zombie Lord at a high speed, his eyes full of flames, staring at the Sledgehammer Zombie Lord's eyes.
Hellfire!
Boom——
A small flame appeared in the Sledgehammer Zombie Lord's eyes, and the small flame burned more and more vigorously until it filled its entire eyes.
【-101312】
【0/300000】
"Roar——ho..."
Boom!
The zombie only let out half of its roar, and then fell to the ground.
"The body is not burning..."
The body of the Hammer Zombie Lord was not burned to ashes, but his body was a little thinner than before, and his eyes turned into two black holes with sparks still remaining.
Wang Tao thought that this was probably because his damage was just on the killing line, and this zombie was high-level and strong, so it would not be burned to ashes like the previous [Night Devil Type I].
But this is just a good way to recycle waste.
"Lightning!"
Wang Tao shouted.
"Woof~"
When Lightning came over, Wang Tao had already stripped off the explosion-proof armor on the zombie. The zombie's body became thinner, so it was relatively convenient to take off the equipment.
"Here you eat."
Wang Tao threw the body to Lightning.
At this time, Lightning's body was only slightly smaller than an adult bull, and it was also in its strongest state. Its awakening was [Gluttonous Feast], and devouring the corpses of lords of the same level or above would increase its health and size. The corpse of the black fog zombie that was killed before was eaten by Lightning.
Lightning was not in a very good condition at this time. He was covered with wounds and his health was only 50,000 out of 180,000.
However, after eating the body of the sledgehammer zombie, Lightning not only increased his upper limit of health, but also recovered his current health rapidly.
"Good job!"
Wang Tao rubbed Lightning's huge dog head. He just saw clearly that after Lightning's body became bigger, he blocked some damage for many people.
"Woof~"
Wang Tao put away all the spoils and went to see the situation of his teammates.
He had just heard the casualty statistics given by He Jijun in the headset.
The good news is that no one died, but the bad news is that they were all seriously injured, and even Lan Yulian's treatment was a little bit unable to recover.
After seeing a group of miserable teammates, Wang Tao said:
"We won!"
Hearing Wang Tao's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now they had been enduring the pain without making a sound, ready to fight again at any time. Now that they were sure that the lord zombie was dead, they immediately lay on the ground and wailed. For a while, the shouts came one after another.
Wang Tao laughed immediately.
If they can lie on the ground and wail, it means that the problem is not serious. If they are alive and kicking, then the problem is serious. It may be a last gasp. After all, their health bars are really low.
Wang Tao looked at the sky and said:
"It's getting dark. Someone go drive the car over here. Let's leave here quickly!"
"I'll go!"
Xiang Hongbin immediately ran to drive the car.
In terms of defense, Xiang Hongbin, this "half-man, half-machine" is still powerful. Wang Tao felt a little pain in his chest, but after changing a crystal core, he was still full of energy.
The crystal energy car drove over quickly, and everyone helped each other get in the car and left here.
