Reborn In The Apocalypse: It Had Always Been You

Chapter 44: Mental Zombie

This explained why there were no zombies on the third floor. The entire top floor was full of them. As they approached, they heard their unique roars.

A zombie appeared at the top of the stairs, but it was stopped by the iron fence. The zombie could only stand behind the bars and roar at them. Its hands kept scratching the iron bars, making harsh sounds.

This zombie was actually a level-four zombie!

Su Shanshan was both surprised and confused. How could a level-four zombie be stopped by an iron fence? she wondered.

On closer look, the iron fence was glowing with a faint green light. Is that the mutant dog’s superpower? So the zombie is trapped here by the mutant dog downstairs. Why would a level-four zombie be trapped by a level-two mutant dog?

Su Shanshan and Gu Zhao did not understand, but they had to go up.

Gu Zhao kicked away the metal bars. The zombie that had regained its freedom charged excitedly at them, but it was kicked away by Gu Zhao.

Even Gu Zhao was astonished. He had not expected the zombie to be so weak.

A thought occurred to Su Shanshan, and her face grew even more grave. Before she could say anything, the zombie made a piercing noise that hurt their brains and gave them a splitting headache.

“This zombie has a mental power. Its physique is very weak, but its mental attack is more terrifying,” Su Shanshan said quickly.

Because of the zombie’s sound skills, they could not even use their superpowers. They covered their ears and tried to block the noise, but it was useless.

The zombie slowly approached the two of them, opening its mouth wide to make ear-piercing sounds. It looked at the two people on the ground, its eyes glowing red with greed and lust.

Its hand reached out to Su Shanshan first. Just as it was about to touch her, Su Shanshan suddenly lowered her head and shot the ice blade in her hand. Then the wind blade in Gu Zhao’s hand shot out. The mental-type zombie did not dodge. Both its arms were cut off. The zombie did not feel any pain. It continued to stride towards Su Shanshan with its legs wide apart.

Su Shanshan attacked it with her Tang sword. The zombie cried out strangely, and this sound caused the Tang sword in her hand to deviate slightly. It did not hit its vital part.

At this moment, the zombie was already in front of her. Gu Zhao shouted anxiously, “Be careful, squat.”

Su Shanshan knew that she had to dodge, but her body seemed to be out of control. She moved slowly because of the zombie’s voice and turned around with difficulty to avoid its attack. The clothes on her injured arm were ripped. If she had been a step slower, her arm would have been severed.

Su Shanshan bit her tongue abruptly. The pain made her focus. When the zombie was in front of her again, she roared and attacked the back of its head with the Tang sword in her hand.

The zombie wanted to use the same trick again and let out a strange cry. Su Shanshan was already prepared and used a thick layer of ice to cover her ears. This one was a mental-type after all. She used all her strength and suddenly swung the Tang sword in her hand.

A black shadow flashed and pounced on the Tang sword. The sharp edge of the Tang sword pierced through its abdomen, and blood instantly flowed out.

When the black shadow fell to the ground, they saw that it was the black dog from earlier. The hair on its neck had been shaved off when it broke free from the ropes. Its neck was bare, and traces of blood could be seen.

The black dog lay on the ground, bared its teeth, and snarled angrily at the two of them. In a protective gesture, it dragged its seriously injured body to the front of the zombie with great difficulty.

This scene stunned Su Shanshan and Gu Zhao. It seemed that this zombie had been the dog’s owner when it was alive, but how could a zombie have memories of its previous life?

The next second, they saw that the zombie’s attention was drawn to the black dog. The blood on its body had stimulated the zombie’s taste buds. The zombie walked towards the black dog in a huff. Having lost its arms, it stubbornly lay on the ground and opened its mouth to bite the black dog.

The black dog dodged nimbly, but it still stood in front of the zombie and protected it. It roared and attempted to chase the two of them out. This was a safety zone built for its master. It would never allow anyone to hurt its master..
