Chapter 210 Phantom Zombie





The sky was pitch-black, and the night wind was like a knife. David drove the war vehicle into the area where the youth hostel was located during the night. As soon as they stepped in, everyone was shocked by the scene before them. Unlike other ruins, this place was particularly desolate and cold, with the chilly wind cutting through the skin like a bone-chilling knife.

On the massive chunks of rubble, blood had stained the ground red, the result of unknown battles. Various white skeletons lay in the ruins, their positions suggesting they had struggled desperately to escape this ghostly place in their final moments. Even the soil underfoot had turned dark red, and the lingering smell of blood in the air mixed with the overwhelming sight of red. The danger here was palpable, making everyone who set foot in this place shiver uncontrollably.

"This place is indeed terrifying." Charles frowned, surveying the surroundings.

"I've never seen anything like this before. The eerie wind alone sends shivers down my spine." Arnold took off his coat and draped it over Sophie.

David walked up to a set of bones, squatting down to examine them closely. Almost all the bones on this skeleton were shattered, including the hardest thigh bone, which had cracked open. It was evident that this person's bones had been shattered by the opponent's powerful force in an instant. This made David serious; the strength required to do this far surpassed any zombie he had encountered before.

"What's the name of this high-level zombie?" David stood up and asked Fatso.

David knew the principle of knowing oneself and one's enemy before going into battle. Only by understanding the specific information of the zombies could he better control their weaknesses.

"It's called the Phantom Zombie." After entering this area, Fatso's carefree demeanor disappeared, and his entire face turned serious.

"Phantom?" Upon hearing the name, everyone was momentarily stunned.

Fatso nodded and continued, "The Phantom Zombie is a ninth-level zombie. Not only is its strength formidable, but it can also transform into anyone it sees. It can instantaneously mimic anyone's speech, actions, and behavior, abandoning the mechanical and rigid movements typical of other zombies. In other words, the appearance of the Phantom Zombie is beyond the norm for regular zombies. It appears and disappears mysteriously, and it often causes accidental deaths. That's why we gave it this name."

As Fatso spoke, his tone grew heavier, as if he were narrating a terrifying ghost story. Hearing his explanation of the Phantom Zombie, everyone's hearts trembled. The ability to change appearance and even imitate human behavior was simply incredible!

For everyone, zombies were just rotting corpses, mechanical in their attacks. Even high-level zombies couldn't escape these characteristics. But the Phantom Zombie broke away from these fixed behaviors and became an entity that could deceive humans. This meant that the upcoming battle would be a huge challenge for anyone.

"Fatso, what's its weakness?" Arnold tightly held Sophie's hand and looked at Fatso. When he called him "Fatso," Fatso glared at Arnold and then shook his head helplessly.

"No one who has encountered the Phantom Zombie has come out alive, so we basically have no knowledge of its weaknesses. Even the information we scavengers have is very limited." After saying this, Fatso looked at a nearby skeleton. He immediately noticed that the skeleton was holding a blood bone, indicating that the person was a scavenger from the Dawn Scavengers. However, after obtaining the blood bone, they hadn't had the chance to leave and were eventually killed by the Phantom Zombie.

Fatso knew that one careless move could cost him his life in this place. His purpose for coming here was merely to gather more information about the Phantom Zombie from the outskirts of the area. He had no intention of confronting it head-on since his physical strength was no match for the Phantom Zombie. He couldn't even determine its real appearance and specific location.

If it wasn't for his desire for David's post-apocalyptic war vehicle, he wouldn't have set foot in this dangerous land. Fatso now felt a bit reckless. In the corner of his eye, he looked at David and noticed the young man's calm expression. Unlike the fear and panic on the faces of others, David seemed composed.

This made Fatso secretly nod in approval. He had never seen anyone who could remain so calm and composed in such an environment.

Inside, David was also on high alert. After Fatso explained the characteristics of the Phantom Zombie, he immediately understood its true terror. The ability to deceive and even transform into people around them and strike when one least expected it was truly horrifying.

With these thoughts in mind, David looked at his team members and Fatso and became deeply troubled. After some consideration and glancing at the pitch-black night, David decided to rest for the night. Nighttime operations were not a good choice for their team, and they didn't know the exact location of the Phantom Zombie, which would delay them even further. Instead, they should adjust their state and prepare for the real battle tomorrow.

"Rest for tonight, and tomorrow we'll start searching for the hiding place of the Phantom Zombie." After saying this, David walked into a nearby dilapidated house.

At this moment, Duke suddenly spoke, "David, you all go in first. I'll find a place to relieve myself. I've been on edge all day, and now my stomach is starting to ache."

Duke covered his stomach with some embarrassment. Everyone had been in a tense state all day, and not only Duke, but others were feeling uncomfortable as well.

David nodded. "Go quickly and come back soon. Be safe." After instructing Duke, David and the others entered the house. They found a relatively clean spot and sat down to rest. However, the thought of the elusive Phantom Zombie made it difficult for the members of the Ember Squad to fall asleep. They kept looking around, fearing any sudden situation.

In contrast, Fatso sat on the ground and closed his eyes, quickly falling asleep and even snoring. This made the others shake their heads wryly. This guy was really fearless, able to fall asleep so easily in such a place?

David also closed his eyes slightly, pondering the plan for the next day. At this moment, Duke returned from outside after finishing his business.

"David."David nodded and motioned for him to sit down and rest. Upon hearing Duke's voice, Fatso slightly opened his eyes, glanced at him, and then closed his eyes again, seemingly undisturbed.
