Invincible through Touching Corpses-Chapter 100 - 99: Fighting the Mutated Zombie

The massive horde of Zombies quickly closed in on the SUV and launched a direct charge.

The Hunter, blending in with the horde, took advantage of the charge to stealthily advance.

It was only two meters tall. Though a little taller than the average Zombie, it was hard to spot unless you were looking closely, especially if it hunched over slightly.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

When the horde was just 20 meters from the SUV, Ling Xiu decisively opened fire with his Hand Cannon, blasting them.

The Hand Cannon’s power was incomparable to any regular Firearm. Against a dense pack of Zombies, a single shot could send over ten of them flying.

Even now, with the horde less tightly packed, one shot still obliterated five or six Zombies.

With Zhang Meiling and Yao Cheng providing covering fire, this wave of Zombies posed no real threat to the SUV.

Of course, Lin Xinghai had no time to pay attention to any of that. His focus was entirely on the Mutated Zombie.

It was lurking at the back of the horde, now within 50 meters, and could launch an attack at any moment.

But Lin Xinghai remained still as a statue. He wasn’t trying to repel it; he was going to kill it.

Given how cunning the Hunter was, he’d likely only get one chance. Once it witnessed his Gun Technique, it would probably never attack again.

Therefore, Lin Xinghai’s psychological limit was 30 meters. A closer range would increase his accuracy and further reduce the Mutated Zombie’s room to dodge.

Of course, getting too close was also out of the question. He absolutely could not let it get into melee range.

The Hunter, perfectly concealed within the horde, drew closer. 50 meters, 48 meters, 45 meters, 43 meters...

As he watched the Hunter draw nearer, a sense of danger began to surface. It was his Perception Power sending a warning.

’I should play it safe,’ Lin Xinghai thought. He opened his system panel and used his Investigation Technique on the Hunter.

After he used it, he only had three free uses of the technique left. Of course, he had no time for regrets and immediately looked at the data it revealed.

Name: Hunter

Physique: 359 points

Power: 967 points

Speed: 1935 points (Temporary: 296 points)

Note: A Zombie naturally skilled at ambushes.

Seeing these stats, especially its Speed, Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath, even though he had already suspected it.

’With a Speed of nearly 2000 points, I would have had no chance of hitting it if it weren’t injured.’

’Even with a broken leg, its temporary Speed is still an incredible 296 points.’

’So damn cunning. It even knows how to hide its true strength,’ Lin Xinghai cursed inwardly.

After all, when Ling Xiu had used the Thousand-Mile Eye Strange Person to scout it earlier, its apparent Speed had consistently been between 230 and 250 points.

That value was a little high, but it was still within his expectations.

The Zombie continued to approach. 38 meters, 35 meters, 33 meters... The instant it crossed the 30-meter mark, Lin Xinghai decisively pulled the trigger.

BANG! BANG!

Two bullets shot from the chamber, flying straight toward the Hunter.

Lin Xinghai’s shots were completely unexpected. To avoid drawing the Hunter’s attention, he hadn’t even glanced in its direction before firing.

Because of this, when the attack came, a look of shock even appeared in the Hunter’s eyes.

But a Mutated Zombie was a Mutated Zombie. Even faced with such a sudden attack, it was able to react in the blink of an eye.

The Hunter jerked its head to the right, dodging the Armor-Piercing Bullet aimed at its skull.

Between Lin Xinghai’s sudden ambush and his mastery of Intermediate Shooting Skill, the Hunter had to give its all just to dodge that single shot.

But Lin Xinghai had fired two shots simultaneously, and the second was a conservative shot aimed at its torso. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

No matter how the Hunter twisted its body, the Armor-Piercing Bullet still tore into its abdomen.

A bloody hole instantly appeared on the Hunter. The bullet pierced its skin and thick muscle layer, plunging deep into its body and causing varying degrees of damage to its internal organs.

An injury like this might have been fatal to a human, but for a Zombie—especially a Mutated Zombie—it was nothing more than a minor wound.

It didn’t even affect its Speed in the slightest.

Though Lin Xinghai had only fired two shots, the Hunter already understood that this human was bad news. With one of its legs already broken, it decisively chose to retreat.

But Lin Xinghai was going for the kill. How could he possibly let it escape? Without the slightest hesitation, he pulled the trigger again.

This time, however, just before he pulled the trigger, a gray ray of light shot out from inside the vehicle, striking the Hunter with lightning speed.

The gray light was too fast, and it even seemed to have a lock-on function. The Hunter was hit before it could even think to dodge, and its body was instantly covered in a dim, gray glow.

It was Yao Cheng’s Weakness Superpower. Before the fight, Lin Xinghai had instructed him to unleash his Superpower on the Mutated Zombie the moment he opened fire.

Lin Xinghai glanced at his system panel. The Mutated Zombie’s temporary Speed had now dropped to 267 points.

Seeing this, Lin Xinghai actually felt a little regretful. The Weakness Superpower’s effect was to reduce all of the target’s Attributes by 10%.

’If that 10% had been calculated from the Hunter’s original Speed, it would have been a reduction of 193 points. There’s no way it could have escaped then.’

’But since it only weakens its current stats, the effect isn’t nearly as dramatic.’

Of course, less dramatic didn’t mean ineffective.

The sudden weakness that washed over its body caught the Hunter off guard once again.

Lin Xinghai seized that precise moment to pull the trigger again, sending two more Armor-Piercing Bullets flying.

Perhaps still unaccustomed to the feeling of weakness, the Hunter failed to completely dodge the Armor-Piercing Bullet aimed at its head. The bullet grazed its scalp, taking an ear with it.

Compared to the first bullet, the second one, aimed at its ankle, had a much greater effect.

The ankle injury caused the Hunter’s Speed to drop even further.

BANG! BANG!

BANG! BANG!

BANG! BANG!

Lin Xinghai gave it no time to recover, rapidly pulling the trigger.

The Hunter, meanwhile, did its utmost to dodge as it fled.

But with Lin Xinghai’s current Gun Technique, dodging was no simple matter. Combined with his tricky firing angles, nearly every two-shot burst landed at least one bullet on the Hunter.

After taking another five bullets, the Hunter ducked behind an abandoned sedan, finally getting a moment to breathe.

’Now, if it can just use this car to dodge bullets and hold out for a dozen seconds or so, the zombie horde will overwhelm them. Then it will be safe.’

’In fact, if these humans don’t leave in time, it can make sure they all stay here... permanently.’
