As an elite monster with another mutated form like the butcher, the Ripper was much more troublesome than the butcher. They were much smaller than the butcher, and much less powerful. However, the claws and speed of the Ripper made it even more terrifying than the Butcher. It was more like an a.s.sa.s.sin"s Ripper, using its advantage to dissect its prey.
At that time, if he had met a Ripper and not a butcher in Silver Tree City, then Zero would probably never have been able to get out of the hospital bas.e.m.e.nt entrance.
Right now, even if Zero and the other three members were all Adepts, they were not willing to let a Ripper get close to them easily. However, the Ripper"s body was more nimble, and its sense of danger was much sharper than that of the butcher. The spear technique with a range of zero hit finally had no effect on its body. All of its attacks missed, and the Ripper used its Zigzag movement trajectory to dodge the shot. As for the machine guns Su and Feng, they couldn"t even touch the edges of their clothes.
Both of them were not specialized in shooting, so they could only use machine guns to block the movements of ordinary zombies. If he couldn"t even track the Ripper"s movement trajectory, how could he kill it?
With a few twists, the Ripper crossed their firepower line and approached the store in the blink of an eye.
"Out of the way!"
The big man blocked the gap with a flamethrower. Suddenly, a long fire dragon shot out of the injector and flew towards the Ripper.
However, the nurse dressed as the Ripper suddenly lowered his body, then slid across the fire dragon, even sliding into the store from Ma Pei"s side.
"F * ck!"
Feng Feng cursed and threw away his machine gun. Tang Zheng unsheathed his sword and slashed at the Ripper with lightning speed.
The Ripper suddenly sprung up. Its five black and sharp fingers were like blades as they grasped onto the edge of the frost blade.
At the same time as catching Tang Dao, the Ripper clawed at Feng"s face. If he caught it, Feng"s head would probably explode. Although Feng Feng was still in shock, Tang Dao still slightly trembled as he used a mysterious force to deflect the Ripper"s claw. The frost turned back and slashed at the Ripper"s wrist with his other hand.
These few exchanges were all completed in the blink of an eye. From the moment Feng took the initiative to attack, to the moment Tang Dao was attacked, to the moment when the frost returned to normal, only two seconds had pa.s.sed.
Cold lightning flashed past the Ripper"s wrist, and with a single slash, Feng chopped off the monster"s palm. Dark red blood spurted out from the severed wrist, and the Ripper let out an injured sound. Just as it wanted to counterattack, it seemed to sense something and suddenly moved horizontally.
At the same time, a gunshot rang out.
The bullet flew past the Ripper, past Maple"s ear, shaved off a few strands of hair, and finally shot a hole through the wall behind them. Behind the Ripper was a zero.
Feng was startled. If the bullet had missed by even a tiny bit, half of his head would definitely have been blown off.
On the other side, Zero did not have the time to care about Feng. The two guns in his hands shot out continuously, forcing the Ripper to keep its distance from the crowd. Sparks flew from the ground to the shelves, up to the ceiling, and finally to the wall on the other side of the mall. It showed the movement trajectory of the Ripper. This monster was always a bit faster than a zero shot, so it was lucky to avoid all the bullets.
Card.
The two shots missed. Zero didn"t even have enough time to replenish his bullets. It was all because the Ripper took the opportunity to pounce again. He saw the monster reach him in the blink of an eye like a beast. It pounced towards Zero, and with its remaining claws, it pounced towards it.
Unexpectedly, Zero threw away the two guns. With a slight shake of his shoulders, he bounced up Colt who was hanging on his back. He caught Colt with both hands and slightly s.h.i.+fted the barrel to the right, aiming at the Ripper.
A cruel smile appeared on Zero"s face as he pressed down on the trigger.
The moment a spark flashed from Colt"s muzzle, the Ripper"s right foot slammed down on Zero"s body. As it kicked Zero away, the Ripper instantly changed its direction and moved horizontally to the left.
Bang!
The flames from the Colt"s barrel brushed past the Ripper. The impact of the bullets caused a large amount of flesh and blood to drip out of the monster"s right chest. The Ripper"s clothes were ripped apart as blood splattered into the air. However, it wasn"t hit directly. It gasped for breath as it fell onto the ground.
Before he could be happy, a sharp sound pierced his ears.
The Ripper suddenly turned to its left, its eyes reflecting the figure of Feng"s sword.
The frost suddenly disappeared in Feng"s hand, and when it reappeared, it turned into three blade lights that formed a hook. They intersected each other like eagle claws as they swept past the Ripper"s body.
The strong momentum caused the maple and the Ripper to pa.s.s by each other before finally sliding three meters before stopping.
With a "dang", Tang Dao returned to his sheath. Three terrifying cracks appeared on the Ripper"s body. These three cracks cut the Ripper into several pieces of flesh. It would not understand even to its death that the muzzle of the gun had moved slightly to the right, so that the Ripper could dodge to the left. On the left was where Feng was.
It turned out that Feng had used his Swordsman Skill "Eagle Claw" and directly cut the monster into pieces.
The eagle claw was created by the blade of the blade in three consecutive slashes at an extremely fast speed. At the same time, it released a shockwave similar to the [Pressure Wind Slash], attacking the opponent from a different angle and time. If the opponent could not withstand it, the result would be the same as the Ripper, a few pieces of minced meat.
Although the Ripper was dismembered, he did not die for a while. The mouth on his face opened and closed continuously, gnawing on the ground. Zero walked over, picked up the gun on the ground and shot the monster in the back of its head. Only then did it completely stop moving.
In the shop, Zero and Feng had taken care of a Ripper. Outside of the shop, the remaining living corpses were also taken care of. Su took out a [Wild Charge] towards the few remaining living corpses. All the corpses that were on the path she charged through fell to the ground and flew away. Even if these living corpses didn"t die, they wouldn"t be able to get up. The impact of using all her strength was no different from that of a speeding truck. As many tons of force had grazed him, all the living corpses were minced into meat and bones.
After confirming that there were no more living corpses standing around, a few of them heaved a sigh of relief. The four immediately left, but after walking for a distance, Zero called them back.
The four of them snuck back into the store and lay on their hands and knees, looking out through the gap in the wall.
Looking at the dark street outside the gap, Ma pei asked in confusion, "Captain, what are we doing?"
"A hypothesis." He then explained, "I"m a.s.suming that the encounter between us and the living corpse was not a coincidence, but a man-made operation."
"Think about it, wasn"t the street battle we encountered a bit too coincidental? With the slow perception of the living corpses, how could they split into two groups and block us from the front and back?" This time, for example, we had only been resting in the mall for half an hour when they came knocking on our door. You have to understand that half an hour ago, there weren"t any living corpses around here. How did they know of our existence? " Zero continued, "And this time, among the zombies attacking us, there are elite monsters like the butcher and the Ripper. It is as if our battle prowess had been adjusted in the last encounter, which resulted in our allocation to be increased this time. "
"Now that you mention it, it seems like someone is testing the zombie"s combat power." Feng added.
"If it wasn"t for that live corpse with the electronic eye, I wouldn"t have made such a guess." He looked at Feng and said, "Your guess is not impossible. You should know that the living corpses are the most numerous mutated monsters known to exist. If he could control them, it would be equivalent to controlling a biological and chemical army. If we can find methods to ma.s.s-produce elite monsters like the butcher and the Ripper, other than the Heroic Spirit Hall and the Dark Council, the rest of the cities would be drowned by this army. "
"a.s.suming that the mastermind"s goal is to master a biochemical army, then the necessary combat strength test is inevitable. For a team like ours, it"s a perfect test tool. In the combat strength test, one had to retrieve data, and even the battlefield corpses. If they do, then we have a chance to find the manipulator and maybe get him or them to serve us instead. "In that case, our task will be much simpler."
After listening to Zero"s explanation, the other three came to a realization. Originally, Zero had intended to find the controller. If the opponent really had the ability to control living corpses, then they could use them to enter the fifth floor of the base and retrieve the items for the mission without personally taking any risks.
"However, there is one thing that I don"t understand. If it was done by Asgard to control the living corpses, then they probably wouldn"t let us have access to such confidential research projects. But if it wasn"t for Asgard, who could have turned Cossacks into their home turf? " Zero smiled and said, "I"m really interested in meeting him."
As she spoke, Sue suddenly warned, "Don"t talk. Something"s coming."
The few of them immediately looked through the gap, and under the infrared vision, a monster appeared at the edge of the battlefield.
They called it a monster because it was impossible to cla.s.sify it together with the mutated organisms that were known to the base. Judging from the shape of the human body, it should belong to the category of living corpses. However, it had two heads, and its head was wrapped in cloth, covering its eyes. However, on the chest of the humanoid monster, there was a giant eye. The giant eye flashed with a variety of colors, just like an intellectual brain working.
The monster had two arms, one long and one short. The long arm was almost touching the ground, and the entire arm was wrapped in iron. Behind the shoulder of the robotic arm, three exhaust pipes protruded, from time to time releasing white smoke from the mouth of the pipe. On the other hand, the short and short arms were covered in bone spikes like they were tearing through people. The front part of his palm was as long as a claw, which made people feel intimidated.
This humanoid monster had two legs with an anti-joints structure. It supported the monster"s body and quickly approached the battlefield.
"d.a.m.n, what is that thing?" is it a new breed among the living corpses? " Feng whispered in his helmet.
