"No consciousness!" Dudian's heart was pounding. "These walking corpses are different from Bone-eating Rats. Although Bone-eating Rats are bloodthirsty, they have the consciousness that beasts should have. They know how to hide, launch sneak attacks, dodge, and even run for their lives. But these walking corpses are different. They only instinctively pounce on their prey. Their attacking postures are completely based on instinct. They have no awareness of dodging or launching sneak attacks, just like, just like... a killing machine specifically designed for slaughter!"
"And it's an incomplete machine. Once it locks onto its prey, besides the attack command, it has no other skills!"
Dudian's blood was faintly boiling. He felt that he had grasped a crucial piece of information, which was also the information that could keep him alive. "Only knowing how to attack frantically is the most terrifying aspect of these walking corpses, but it's also their fatal weakness!"
At this time, Mekin, Zach, and Sham on the other balcony heard the sound of the window breaking and rushed over immediately. Seeing Dudian standing in the toilet, they were a bit consternation and said, "How, how did you get in here?"
Roar, roar!
At this time, the hoarse roars coming from outside the window also reached the ears of the few of them.
Hearing this sound, Mekin and the other two were immediately shocked. At the same time, they suddenly realized that the walking corpses were in the toilet above their heads. Obviously, Dudian had deliberately attracted them there. The reason for doing this was clearly to buy time for the three of them to escape, while he himself took the risk of jumping out of the window without a foothold...
These thoughts flashed through their minds in an instant, and the eyes of the three of them turned red.
What is friendship?
It's thinking about how to save you even in the most dangerous moment!
Even without considering whether one can survive oneself!
Although Dudian had helped them many times during the previous three years of training, and they had also occasionally helped Dudian, the four of them had supported each other. However... those were all assessments. If they failed, at most, they would just pack up and go home. But now, it was a bloody and cruel reality of death. Standing in the face of death, he still did this. The three of them felt that their souls were trembling, a mixture of gratitude, being moved, and also anger at their own weakness.
Dudian didn't notice the emotional changes of the three of them. He nodded slightly to them to indicate that he was safe, and then looked back out of the window. The two walking corpses were still struggling desperately, trying to squeeze out of the window. However, since they couldn't see him, the intensity of their struggle wasn't as fierce as before.
Dudian was worried that they would retreat and then come around from the stairs. He immediately stretched out an arm and gently shook it outside the window, as if saying, "Come on, come quickly..."
When the two walking corpses saw the swaying arm, their eyes immediately turned fierce. They roared and struggled frantically. With a bang, the walking corpse on top broke free, pulling down a large piece of concrete that was as soft as mud beside the window, and it fell down.
Dudian quickly retracted his arm to avoid being caught by it. Otherwise, he would also be pulled down.
At this time, the last remaining walking corpse occupied the widened window and easily struggled out, then pounced down following the others. It also fell straight down, and then there were two bangs, which were particularly clear in this quiet residential area.
Dudian let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the window to look down. He saw that the three walking corpses had fallen into the grass downstairs and were stacked on top of each other. Suddenly, the body of the walking corpse on the top twitched slightly, and it actually stood up shakily again.
Dudian's face changed. He didn't expect that it wouldn't be killed by the fall. Then he slapped his head and remembered that these monsters could only be killed by destroying their heads. Falling from the twelfth floor would only make their bodies more broken.
At this time, the walking corpse swayed its body, looked up at Dudian, and opened its mouth to roar. Then, it suddenly climbed onto the wall. Its two sharp claws clasped tightly onto the wall, and it climbed up the wall like a climber.
"I @#$#... Do you think you're Spider-Man?" Dudian almost spat out blood. At the same time, he was glad that he hadn't gone upstairs before but had chosen to go downstairs. Otherwise, he couldn't have stopped them at all.
Mekin and the other two crowded to the window. Seeing the walking corpse climbing quickly, their faces couldn't help but change greatly.
However, Dudian wasn't flustered. After the process of jumping from the twelfth floor to the eleventh floor before, he felt as if he had died once. Later, he also noticed the weaknesses of these walking corpses. Unconsciously, he was no longer afraid of these walking corpses in his heart.
"Give me the sword." Dudian said calmly.
Mekin immediately understood what he was going to do and quickly handed the sword to him.
Dudian held the short sword and looked at the walking corpse climbing quickly along the wall. Looking at that stone-gray middle-aged face approaching ferociously, his heart no longer trembled but became increasingly calm. When it climbed to about half a meter below the window, he suddenly stabbed out with the sword. With a puff, the short sword accurately stabbed into its eye socket and directly penetrated into the soft brain tissue.
The body of the walking corpse trembled, and it seemed to suddenly lose its strength and fell backward.
With a bang, it landed on the two walking corpses below.
The two walking corpses didn't move and seemed to be dead. Dudian took a look and found that because they were in a pouncing posture when they fell, their heads hit the ground first, causing their skulls to crack and die on the spot. The third walking corpse landed on their bodies and was buffered, so it wasn't directly killed by the fall.
Now that all three walking corpses had been dealt with, Dudian let out a sigh of relief. Only then did he feel a burst of soreness all over his body. From the battle with the Bone-eating Rats until now, the continuous intense exercise had completely exhausted his physical strength. He immediately sat down on the toilet in the bathroom. Looking at Mekin and the other two in front of him, he gasped and smiled, "Are you all not injured?"
Mekin shook his head and sighed, "You've saved us again. When will you get into trouble so that we can save you for a change?"
Dudian laughed loudly, "Go away. Don't curse me."
After surviving the disaster, the tense nerves of the few of them relaxed. They didn't care about the mess on the ground and sat on the ground to rest.
"Do you think Scott and the others will be okay?" Zach said.
Dudian immediately thought of his previous action of throwing a stone to attract the group of walking corpses towards them. His face couldn't help but change. At that time, the situation was critical, and he didn't have time to think much. Now that he thought about it, he felt a bit horrified. He didn't expect that he would do such a thing. He thought carefully and secretly said to himself that perhaps he was too angry at that time when he saw that scavenger from the consortium push Sham down, which led to such an action.
Or perhaps, in the deepest part of his heart, he was... evil.
Dudian shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about this. He said, "Take a rest, and then let's go find them."
The faces of the three of them changed. Sham suddenly said, "Why are there so many walking corpses all of a sudden? Weren't they cleared by the hunter lords? Could this be what they call 'cleared'?"
Dudian frowned slightly. He was also puzzled by this. If it was about leaving behind the Bone-eating Rats, he could understand it. After all, in a head-on battle, they, the scavengers, weren't inferior to the Bone-eating Rats, and the Bone-eating Rats hid in the sewers, so they were indeed difficult to kill. But these walking corpses were different. In terms of strength and speed, they were not on the same level as them. Even if ten people surrounded and attacked one walking corpse, there would be heavy losses, not to mention leaving behind so many.
"They should have been overlooked by these hunters, or perhaps... they came from other areas." Dudian said thoughtfully.
Mekin and the other two were taken aback and didn't say anything more.
After a while, Dudian felt that he had rested enough. He patted the dust off his buttocks and stood up. Looking at the short sword on the wall outside the window, he was a bit distressed. Without a short sword, it would be extremely dangerous if they encountered any monsters next.
He thought for a while and searched the rooms of this household. As a result, he found that the quilts, clothes, and other things left here were all as fragile as paper and would break with a single pull. He suddenly saw the vine plants climbing on the outside of the wall. He immediately used Mekin's short sword to cut off a bunch of them, twisted them into a rope, and threw it towards the handle of the short sword nailed to the wall. After several attempts, he finally managed to loop it around. He pulled hard, and soon, the short sword was pulled out of the wall.
After retrieving the short sword, Dudian let out a sigh of relief. Just then, Sham's panicked cry suddenly came: "Dian, come quickly."
Dudian was startled and rushed over immediately when he heard the sound. When he came to the windowsill where Sham was leaning, he immediately saw that on the street outside the residential area, more than a dozen walking corpses were swaying over. Instead of walking straight along the street, they turned into the residential area.
Dudian's face changed greatly. Although these walking corpses were swaying slowly, they clearly had a target. Looking down from a high place, the route they were taking was clearly heading towards them.
