Nouveau Riche Zombie

"Damn, there's a mutant zombie!"

Ji Mengyao, who had rolled onto the ground, immediately reacted, trying to reach for the chainsaw.

But it was too late. The blade that had just ambushed her attacked again, forcing her to dodge once more.

Looking up, she saw that the massive metallic blade was growing from the body of a strangely-shaped zombie.

Its entire body was emaciated, except for one abnormally strong arm.

Instead of a hand, that muscular arm ended in an elongated, slightly curved blade - sharp and terrifying.

More interestingly, it wore various luxurious necklaces, and its left hand was adorned with all sorts of gemstone rings.

The zombie's face was also shriveled, with two mutated eyes as small as mung beans.

What was this, some nouveau riche mutant zombie?

"It's The Greedy One! Protect them, I'll handle it!" Ji Mengyao shouted instructions to the man in the suit, grabbing an axe and taking the initiative to attack.

She seemed to recognize this type of mutant zombie.

The mutant zombie, known as The Greedy One, raised its strange arm again, its blade rushing towards Ji Mengyao with fierce attacks.

This medium-range combat was extremely disadvantageous for her, with The Greedy One having all the advantages.

Its body remained motionless, firmly guarding the large box, preventing Ji Mengyao from getting close while swinging its blade arm faster and faster.

Ji Mengyao was finding it increasingly difficult to dodge, unable to get any closer to the creature.

Damn it!

Suddenly, the blade arm circumvented the axe blade and sliced through the wooden handle of the axe, instantly cutting it in two.

Ji Mengyao lost her weapon, but that wasn't the worst part.

What was worse was that the blade arm had broken through her defense, tearing through her clothes and cutting into her chest!

"Slash!"

Large amounts of blood flowed from her chest. Having landed a successful hit, The Greedy One immediately withdrew its blade from her body.

The punk girl fell to her knees, barely supporting herself with both hands.

But The Greedy One wouldn't let her go. It raised its arm again and thrust the blade through her heart from behind!

This strike seemed to end her life. Ji Mengyao collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

Her blood slowly spread beneath her.

She hadn't uttered a single scream throughout the entire ordeal.

The elementary school students let out cries of shock. They had just thought they were saved.

But this seemingly capable cool sister had been killed in just two strikes by the suddenly appearing monster.

Were humans really this helpless against mutant zombies?!

The suited man protecting the children maintained his poker face, showing no emotion, as if unmoved by his companion's death.

The Greedy One, having killed the most troublesome human, prepared to move forward to harvest the remaining lives.

However, after taking just a few steps, it suddenly realized something was wrong.

Ji Mengyao, who had been lying on the ground, stood up again, still covered in her own blood.

She lunged at The Greedy One, which had already drawn near.

Looking closely, there were no wounds under her torn clothes!

The Greedy One, apart from its blade arm, seemed to lack strength in its main body.

It had thought Ji Mengyao was dead, but suddenly found itself ambushed and pinned to the ground.

"Is that all you've got?"

The punk girl showed a disdainful smile, raised her fist high, and brought it down on the pinned Greedy One's head.

Though The Greedy One's main body appeared thin and weak, its head was surprisingly solid - her punch didn't even crack it!

It was worth noting that earlier, she could easily crush the heads of ordinary zombies with one punch.

Seeing her fist was ineffective, Ji Mengyao tried to grab the nearby axe blade. Unable to swing it, she could only use it to strike.

"Slash!"

However, The Greedy One's retracted blade arm once again pierced through the girl's body from behind, this time twisting several times to ensure her death.

Yet Ji Mengyao seemed immune to pain. Even with her body impaled, her movements didn't change at all.

She picked up the axe blade and brought it down on The Greedy One's head.

"Clang!"

But the sound that came was of metal striking metal. Despite its weak-looking body, its head was incredibly hard!

The Greedy One suddenly swung its arm, throwing the girl like a candied haw stick against the wall.

The impact knocked off her hat, and her beautiful golden braids came undone into loose hair before she fell to the ground.

The Greedy One pursued relentlessly, driving its blade into her head, completely impaling it!

Ji Mengyao's body twitched twice, then went still.

Surely she must be dead now!

The Greedy One touched its somewhat painful head and turned to deal with the remaining people.

But immediately, its expression turned extremely unpleasant.

Its foot was suddenly grabbed by a pale arm.

Looking down, it saw the punk girl had revived once again, raising her blood-covered face. The hole that had just pierced her head had completely vanished.

She gritted her teeth in a smile:

"You think you can kill me with just that?"

She held onto its foot with an iron grip, causing The Greedy One to fly into a rage.

The blade arm swung again, attempting once more to destroy this immortal cockroach's body.

"Bang!!"

A gunshot suddenly rang out, and a bullet precisely cut through space, entering The Greedy One's left eye.

"Roar!!"

The Greedy One fell to the ground, clutching its left eye and howling in pain, as if the eye was its vital weakness.

A silver-haired little girl and a black-haired high school girl holding a gun had appeared at some point at the other end of the alley.

"Good, now shoot its right eye."

The little girl calmly issued the second command.

Receiving the clear order, the black-haired girl's handgun spat fire again.

"Bang!"

The Greedy One quickly rolled on the ground, trying to dodge the bullet, as if something terrible would happen if its right eye was hit.

However, the bullet hit the wall and rebounded at a pre-calculated angle, accurately entering The Greedy One's right eye!

"Arghh!!"

It rolled on the ground, its blade arm visibly shrinking at an alarming rate!

After a while, it lay motionless on the ground, its jewelry scattered all around due to its body's shrinkage.

It had died completely.

Ning Yu could now see The Greedy One's death lines disappear.

"It's dead."

She gave Shen Yiyue a clear signal.

Though the suited man maintained his expressionless face, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes.

The punk girl Ji Mengyao on the ground also stared with wide eyes, her mouth forming an O shape.

She had fought so hard, even been killed twice, without causing any damage to this mutant zombie.

Now it had been killed with just two shots?

Was it actually this weak?!

So the eyes were its weakness?

But how did those two girls know that?

And how did the girl with the gun hit its eyes so precisely?

Countless questions arose in her mind as she prepared to get up.

Behind her, one of the little girls could no longer contain herself, showing an expression of unbelievable joy.

She threw away her baseball bat and ran forward crying loudly:

"Sister!!!!"
