Chapter 355: Chapter 355

She saw creatures within the chaos, their teeth and claws bared. They were festooned with rotting flesh, some teeming with nests of insects, and charged around like enormous beasts akin to hippos and rhinos. The sniper rifle’s powerful bullets struck their eyes and heads, exploding into blooms of blood. However, this had no effect on the behemoth creatures, resembling nothing more than ripples caused by a stone cast into water.

Some rhinos’ eyes burst, oozing green fluid and white orbs. Neighboring creatures devoured these ravenously, even eating the eyes of their own kind.

Soon, Lingling had burst all their eyes with the sniper rifle. However, it didn’t affect these creatures that hunted by scent. They seemed to feel no pain at all!

Jing Shu and her companions finally saw the situation in the valley clearly. There were no traps; instead, a massive pit swamp lay just inside the gorge’s entrance. Seven gargantuan, rotting beasts were wallowing in the mire, chasing Monkey and Ah Huang. Even in the muddy grounds, Monkey’s speed as an assassin was extremely fast.

Unfortunately, Monkey fell into the swamp. With no foothold to leverage, he became stuck. Conveniently for one of the massive creatures, it caught up to him and chomped down. His agonized screams ensued.

"Damn it, what kind of monsters are these? The guns are useless! Someone save me! Hurry up and save me!"

It was a truly miserable sight. His entire arm, shoulder included, was being bitten into. Jing Shu thought she saw a whole chunk of flesh about to be torn off. The man in the Underground Black Market who was missing an arm must have had it bitten off this way.

"Hold on! I’ll break through the gate and come in right away! Lingling will cover you with the sniper rifle. Snake Spirit, hurry and try your poison! See if it works!"

In an instant, everyone was on high alert, a state bordering on chaos.

As a professional Scout, Monkey saved his own life at the critical moment. He revealed a tri-bladed weapon in his other hand, akin to an electric fan, and thrust it between the behemoth’s teeth. Jing Shu watched in shock as he suddenly activated its mechanism. The tri-bladed weapon began to spin wildly, just like an electric fan.

Innumerable chunks of flesh and blood spurted from the creature. The weapon acted like a meat grinder, shredding the behemoth from the inside out—from its mouth, through its throat, and into its stomach, leaving it in pieces. Monkey had provided everyone a grisly spectacle of freshly squeezed ’flesh juice.’

Monkey seized the chance to escape. He was horrified to see the creature, its insides churned to minced meat, still moving like an Undead monster. It was still attempting to chase and consume him!

Frightened, Monkey immediately fired a dart rope. Dragging his blood-soaked shoulder, he climbed the iron gate bit by bit with one hand. Meanwhile, Ah Huang, though trapped in the swamp, still managed to jump about, drawing the attention of several beasts.

Jing Shu was all too familiar with these monsters. No wonder they looked familiar, she thought. They were a result of the zombie deer virus from Australia, which appeared during the first and second years of the apocalypse. Its second evolution was the red earthworm that swept the world, leading to a zombie disease that eventually wiped out the red earthworms themselves.

Now, this virus had successfully completed its Third Generation of evolution. This enabled some animals to survive fearlessly in the apocalypse, effectively creating a ’species invasion.’

By the fifth year of the apocalypse, the world had many such rotting, darkened creatures, mostly evolved from animals. In the ten years since the apocalypse began, many creatures, in their bid to survive, had completed hundreds or even thousands of years’ worth of evolution in just a few short years.

But these particular behemoths weren’t actually that tough; they hadn’t reached their Third Generation of evolution yet. Currently, they were impervious to blades and bullets and had no discernible weak points. Unlike Zombies, which could be killed by targeting the brain, these creatures would continue to feed by instinct even if their heads were blown off. However, if they’re chopped into pieces, they can still be killed, Jing Shu mused. A single Hand Grenade could also easily resolve the matter; it’s not as complicated as it seems.

It’s really like capsizing in a gutter, Jing Shu thought, shaking her head. I have to make a move.

"It’s useless! My snake venom doesn’t work!" Snake Spirit shouted.

At that moment, Tan Ke violently kicked open the gate. He swung his iron ball fiercely at a hippo near the doorway. The impact, from a force of at least several hundred kilograms, smashed a deep pit into the hippo’s head, but it had no effect on the virtually Undead creature.

Meanwhile, Ah Huang was cornered and screaming heartbreakingly. Monkey shouted from the side, "Ah Huang, run! Run! Ah Huang!"

Just as the hippo’s huge maw was about to snap at Ah Huang, Jing Shu, like a rugby player, threw a Hand Grenade. FWIP! It flew straight into the rotting hippo’s mouth.

BOOM! A loud explosion followed. The enormous hippo was instantly blown to pieces by the Hand Grenade, successfully rescuing Ah Huang.

Jing Shu took the steel sword from her back. She fashioned a simple plank to navigate the swamp and said, "Do you know about biological joints? Instead of always aiming for the head, it’s faster to hit their joints. To deal with such creatures, it’s better to dismember them. ."

As she spoke, Jing Shu swung her long, large steel sword at the hippo’s knee joint. With one chop, she severed the massive leg, which weighed hundreds of kilograms.

With an agile backhand stroke, Jing Shu deftly severed the rotting hippo’s limbs. She then plunged her sword into its rear, carving a circle from the outside. In no time, she had reduced the raging hippo to dozens of pieces. Her obsessive-compulsive tendencies found the sight extremely satisfying—the pieces, all of similar size, were neatly arranged. A perfect masterpiece!

However, the severed parts were still wriggling!

Fortunately, after a while, their movements slowed and then stopped completely.

In this life, Jing Shu had always wondered what she would do if she encountered the fearsome creatures from her past life again. As it turned out, she found inspiration from butchering pigs.

Under the illumination of the lights, Jing Shu moved like an Asura reaping souls, effortlessly dissecting and dismembering the huge beast while it was still alive!

"This woman... is a bit terrifying."

"Did I misunderstand this woman before?"

Tan Ke scratched his head. In terms of lethality, I should be unrivaled, he thought. But my iron ball is useless against these rotting Undead creatures. They don’t break apart with a mere strike like in TV shows.

Soon, Jing Shu had dissected three of the beasts, stacking their meat neatly into a small mountain. Pity, she thought. If it weren’t for the zombie disease, rhinoceros meat would taste better than hippo meat.

But just then, a commotion erupted outside. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty people arrived. They charged in fully armed, equipped with powerful firearms and relatively advanced weapons. And with them, looking innocently kidnapped, was Little Black.
