Cyborg Mutated Zombies

From the woods emerged several The Gluttons that Ning Yu was quite familiar with.

However, Ning Yu quickly noticed something wasn't quite right.

The claws and terrifying teeth of The Gluttons appeared to have been modified, replaced with some kind of metal products.

They appeared to be sharper and harder than the original mutated parts, and their length had also been appropriately adjusted.

But this wasn't the most noteworthy aspect; instead, it was the obvious leg bands on their legs, which glowed with a mysterious light.

What was going on here? Could these mutated zombies be controlled by humans?

Ning Yu glanced at the ordinary zombie corpses on the ground, likely the work of these The Gluttons.

Watching The Gluttons stare at her with cold eyes, as if following a battle plan, one by one emerging to form a encirclement.

The skill book she obtained from Sloth last time had upgraded her [Scout] skill from mid-level to high-level.

Now she could detect the weaknesses of mid-level mutated zombies.

However, when Ning Yu used [Scout (High-Level)] this time, what she got was still:

[Detected: The Glutton (Low-Level)]

[Direction: 12 o'clock, approximately 100 meters, vertical height difference less than 1 meter]

[Detected: The Glutton (Low-Level)]

[Direction: 10 o'clock, approximately 100 meters, vertical height difference less than 1 meter]

...

It seemed that the changes on their bodies weren't mentioned, but the weakness revealed by [Scout] hadn't changed.

Ning Yu could still see the death lines under their abdomens.

[Ding! Common Task Triggered: Kill Cyborg The Gluttons 0/5]

[Task Reward: Points * 5000]

The system's prompt sounded as expected, and Ning Yu finally learned what these creatures were called in the system.

Turning mutated monsters into cyborgs, enhancing their destructive power—what a monstrous act.

But the most terrifying part was that they seemed to be obeying some kind of command, controlled.

Ning Yu could tell from the circle they formed around her that, unlike the The Gluttons who had previously fled without hesitation, these ones would fight her to the death.

Just in time, Ning Yu had a lot of pent-up anger, and now there were punching bags and points coming her way.

She flipped her silver bangs back, tucking the wet strands behind her forehead so they wouldn't obstruct her vision.

The Blood Kite, which had been floating, let out a high-pitched blade cry and instantly flew into Ning Yu's hand.

Raindrops fell on the blade of the Blood Kite, splitting in half and landing on the ground, creating two ripples.

"Awoo!"

"Awoo!"

Several The Gluttons moved simultaneously, charging towards Ning Yu in the center of the encirclement, their steel claws gleaming with a metallic sheen.

Ning Yu didn't move from her spot.

Only when the five The Gluttons were within arm's reach did Ning Yu draw her blade.

She moved like an elf strolling in the rain, the Blood Kite dancing around her, cutting through the air with intersecting and swift slashes.

She only took a few steps forward, and all the The Gluttons were cut down and fell to the sides. By the time Ning Yu turned around, their modified claws and jaws had been cleanly sliced off!

Ning Yu pursed her lips; it seemed that even with the modifications, their hardness couldn't compare to the sharpness of the Blood Kite.

Seeing Ning Yu's terrifying strength, the The Gluttons didn't choose to retreat. After the destruction of their modified parts, their original blood-and-flesh weapons were exposed.

But by now, Ning Yu had lost most of her patience.

She made a motion of sheathing the blade, placing the Blood Kite to her left side, though the Blood Kite never had a sheath.

The The Gluttons, who had once again pounced from the air, suddenly burst into blood mists, their disgusting green blood splattering all over the ground.

She had unleashed a fatal attack at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

When Ning Yu looked again, she was standing on one of The Gluttons, while the other four had been fatally struck in their abdominal weaknesses based on the death lines, lying motionless on the ground.

Ning Yu looked down at The Glutton struggling beneath her feet. Her physical strength was so overwhelming that The Glutton was completely suppressed, like a trapped insect.

All she had to do was exert a bit more force, and it would be crushed.

But that wasn't Ning Yu's goal. She raised the Blood Kite in her hand like a baseball bat and slammed it hard against the mechanical leg band on the The Glutton's leg!

The precision instrument shattered into countless fragments upon the sudden blow.

Ning Yu looked at the The Glutton again and noticed it had entered a kind of paralysis.

After just a few seconds, it suddenly regained its normal state, but it seemed to have reverted to an ordinary The Glutton, the fearless aura it had before completely vanished.

Ning Yu thought to herself, "So that's how it is."

The Blood Kite no longer held back, piercing through its back and along the death line to its abdominal weakness.

The last cyborg The Glutton died on the spot.

[Ding! Common Task Completed: Kill Cyborg The Gluttons 5/5]

[Reward Issued: Points * 5000]

The system's prompt also came with the points credited.

Ning Yu looked at the Gluttons on the ground and fell into deep thought.

If asked whether such modifications were strong, Ning Yu thought they might have increased their individual combat power by about 10%.

This kind of improvement was almost negligible for Ning Yu.

But the terrifying part wasn't this; it was the fact that these mutated zombies could be controlled to perform tactical actions.

Even if what she saw earlier was just a simple encirclement tactic, it would be a frightening thing.

Today there were only five, but what if there were 100 well-trained The Gluttons?

What if an army of such cyborg mutated zombies could be controlled? Could she still stop them?

However, it was clear that such modifications were still in a very elementary stage, but signs of this had already begun to emerge. The future of the entire Blue Planet after the disaster seemed to be shrouded in mystery.

Awakened ones, mutated zombies, cyborg mutated zombies under control—everything seemed to be heading towards chaos.

But one thing was certain: the number of living beings would become fewer and fewer, and this originally targeted slaughter of humans might escalate into a frenzy.

The Blood Kite, which had just absorbed the blood of several The Gluttons, began to faintly glow. Ning Yu's eyes lit up in the rain, and she moved like a ghost.

Turning away from the The Glutton corpses, Ning Yu walked deeper into the park.

The battle just now hadn't given her a sense of exhilaration; it was merely a one-sided crush.

[Embrace of Fire] hadn't even reached its peak.

The Blood Kite in her hand also felt Ning Yu's emotions and began to tremble. Like Ning Yu, it craved more blood.

Just as she reached the entrance of the running track, Ning Yu suddenly stopped, narrowing her eyes.

The surrounding temperature was rapidly dropping, and she saw a raindrop quickly freeze in front of her, then fell to the ground with a "drip."
