Chapter 416: Level 7 Zombies Arrive

Chapter 416: Level 7 Zombies Arrive

Before the people on the cruise ship could react, they felt a violent vibration coming from the bottom of the cruise ship.

It seemed as if something was hitting the hull violently, and every impact made the cruise ship tremble slightly.

"Damn, what is it doing?" a player cursed.

The rest of the people grabbed onto things around them to prevent themselves from being thrown out.

But the mutant giant octopus is not done yet.

Perhaps he felt bored, so he began to exert force with the tentacles wrapped around the cruise ship, trying to toss the cruise ship up like a toy.

The entire cruise ship seemed to be shaken violently by an invisible giant hand. Along with the creaking sound of twisted metal, the lights in the cabin began to flicker.

Panic spread rapidly like a plague. The already terrified residents of the Ark felt like the sky was falling when they saw the huge monster outside.

Originally they thought that the land was full of zombies and the sea was the safest place.

But now I know that the mutated animals on the seabed are the most terrifying existences.

"No, it will capsize the cruise ship, we have to stop it!" Wang Zixuan's voice suddenly sounded at this time.

Her eyes swept across everyone, focusing on Xiao Jin and Lu Jing.

However, her words fell on deaf ears and did not cause any ripples.

The players' eyes flickered, and they didn't seem to think Wang Zixuan's suggestion was a good idea.

Stop it? What can I do? Isn't it a deep sea monster?

Even if you rub them all together, I'm afraid they'll only be as big as the tip of his tentacle. Are they really going to rush forward to die?

Wang Zixuan didn't get a response and looked at everyone with confusion.

"If we delay like this now, we will die. Haven't you seen how many mutant animals there are in the sea? Once the cruise ship sinks, no one will be able to escape."

Wang Zixuan stared at her own people with disappointment.

If it was Lu Jing and Xiao Jin, it would be fine, but why don't you stand on my side? Afraid! What are you afraid of? I didn't say I would push you to death.

But no matter what Wang Zixuan said, no one dared to agree with her, which made her so angry that she almost laughed.

But then she calmed down and looked at Xiao Jin seriously: "I believe you must know what I just said.

And you, no matter what grudges we have, at this time, only cooperation can have the last laugh. "This sentence was said to Lu Jing.

There was no telling what was happening on Xiao Jin's face, and Cen Nian secretly glanced at her.

Yes, Brother Xiao Jin doesn’t have to worry at all. After all, she has plenty of ways to survive after the cruise ship sinks.

As for Wang Zixuan, only she knows what this guy is thinking.

Lu Jing is indeed the kind of person that makes people hate him so much that their teeth itch. He spoke without giving Wang Zixuan any face at all.

"Oh, you know what's going on? What do you know?" he said sarcastically.

"Forget about the cooperation. I don't trust people like you. What if you stab me in the back? After all, this wouldn't be the first time."

Thinking of the time when he had fallen for this woman in a certain world, Lu Jing had no interest in this so-called "cooperation" at all.

Otherwise, why did he almost kill Wang Zixuan? Wasn't it because of this "old grudge"?

Xiao Jin listened to the gossip of the two people with great interest, but she was always keeping an eye on the mutated giant octopus outside.

From the very beginning, it treated the cruise ship as a big toy model and kept making it circle on the sea.

The Ark's top leaders over there could no longer sit still, and immediately launched large-scale weapons to attack the mutated giant octopus.

At the same time, he also wanted to take this opportunity to try to start the cruise ship and escape from this sea area. After all, there are still many zombies on the sea that have not boarded the cruise ship!

Because the mutated giant octopus was restrained, the cruise ship actually started moving.

But it only took a moment. The shells hitting the mutant giant octopus were just like tickling it.

For something like an octopus, each tentacle is considered an independent individual and can be regenerated quickly even if it is broken.

Therefore, not long after, the mutant giant octopus realized that the "sparks" flying in front of it could not hurt it at all, so it simply ignored it.

Instead, he stretched out his tentacles again, trying to catch his 'escaped' toy.

Compared with ordinary ships, the Ark can be considered a big one, and the horsepower of its engine is beyond the reach of ordinary ships.

But this does not include the tentacles of the overlord of the sea.

Immediately afterwards, under the horrified gaze of everyone on the Ark, the cruise ship was towed back.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The mutant octopus liked it even more. Several of its tentacles flew around in the air. The sea water rolled violently under its stirring, and countless sea water poured into the cruise ship.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, the mechanism props set up by a player outside the casino door was triggered. With a loud bang, countless dust poured in from the gap under the door.

In a corner of the narrow and smoke-filled casino, the two people who were originally on edge due to the dispute seemed to be suddenly pulled back to reality by an invisible force, and the anger on their faces was instantly replaced by vigilance. Their eyes were like the sharpest hawks in the night sky, staring at the shaky door, and the air was filled with an ominous premonition.

"Are you leaving?" Cen Nian's voice was as thin as a mosquito, but it was particularly clear in the silence. There was a subtle tremor in her voice, and she was obviously disturbed by the arrival of this uninvited guest. However, Xiao Jin on the side seemed unusually calm. He shook his head gently, and his deep eyes flashed with an unknown light, "Don't worry, let's see the situation first."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a deafening knocking sound outside the door. Compared with the tentative knocks in the previous times, this time it was more like a violent storm. Every knock was accompanied by flying wood chips, as if the object outside the door was determined to completely destroy the fragile door with an unstoppable force. Everyone in the casino took a few steps back involuntarily, their hearts beating like drums, and every beat was accompanied by a resonance of fear.

However, at this extremely tense moment, the heart-pounding sound suddenly stopped, as if it was just an illusion. Just as everyone looked at each other in confusion, a strange and shrill roar broke the silence of the night. The sound was both wild like a beast and mixed with human despair, which made people shudder.

Then, a black shadow, like a wild horse, broke through the already vulnerable door of the casino at an incredible speed, bringing with it a gust of wind, blowing the chips and cards on the table into all directions. The figure was tall and twisted, with an indescribable cold aura wrapped around it. Under the moonlight, its eyes flashed with a strange light, as if it was an avenger returning from hell, looking for its next prey.

The air in the casino seemed to freeze, and time slowed down at this moment. Everyone was terrified, but they could not move. They could only watch the monster approach step by step, and every step was a step on their tense nerves. Xiao Jin and Cen Nian, although they were also filled with fear, had a more determined look in their eyes, as if they were ready to face all challenges in this unknown contest.

The door exploded with a deafening roar, and the fragments were like sharp arrows, shooting into the dim room with a sharp sound of wind. Xiao Jin did not move, but his eyes flashed with a calm light. The long sword in his hand seemed to have life, and he swung it at a dazzling speed. With a few "swoosh" sounds, the deadly fragments were bounced off one by one, scattered to the ground, and stirred up a cloud of dust.

When the dust settled, Xiao Jin slowly raised his eyes, his gaze penetrating the darkness and fixed on the uninvited guest. Unexpectedly, the intruder was not the mutant fish monster they expected, but a zombie. However, the appearance of this zombie made people shudder. It was no different from an ordinary person. If it weren't for the eyes burning with red flames that revealed the breath of death, I'm afraid no one would associate it with the terrifying zombie. Its skin was slightly pale, and its clothes were tattered. Hanging on it, it swayed gently in the wind, but it could not hide the lines of its muscles. The muscles were smooth and full, as if they contained a power that should not be underestimated. What was even more surprising was that its face was quite handsome. If it weren't for this situation, people might mistake it for a young man who had gone astray.

However, facing such an "unusual" zombie, the people in the house did not relax at all, but felt a deeper chill in their hearts. Horrible scenes emerged in their minds at the same time, and the memories of the zombies' ruthless killings and the annihilation of humanity came flooding back like a tide, making their already tense nerves even more painful.

"This... How is this possible?" Someone murmured, his voice full of a complex mixture of disbelief and fear. Xiao Jin held his long knife tightly, his eyes as sharp as a torch. He knew that no matter how deceptive the appearance of this zombie was, its essence was still a bloodthirsty monster, an enemy they must face and defeat. The air was filled with a tense and oppressive atmosphere. A battle of life and death was about to break out in this seemingly calm but undercurrent space.

To Xiao Jin, this zombie that looked almost real had undoubtedly reached the terrifying level 7. Its movements were stiff but inexplicably smooth, as if it was imitating the most subtle human behavior. Deep in its hollow eyes, there seemed to be a trace of rationality from before death, which was chilling. Level 7 zombies were already legendary in the zombie world. Not only did they possess strength and speed beyond that of ordinary people, but even more terrifyingly, they began to show the ability to adapt to and learn from the environment, making the survival challenge of human survivors even more arduous.

What was even more strange was that Xiao Jin felt an indescribable sense of familiarity in this zombie, as if she was being pulled by an invisible thread, taking her back to that cold, damp, and dangerous night in the granary. That breath was exactly the same as the threat of death she felt when she was hiding in the dark, her heart beating like a drum. Could it be that the zombie that had been peeping in the dark and brought her endless nightmares was the one in front of her? As soon as this thought came out, it was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up waves.

Although the players are still worried about the mutant octopus - the giant creature is leisurely swimming around the cruise ship not far away, as if ready to launch the next attack at any time, but the crisis in front of them is obviously more urgent. Although the cruise ship has not sunk, in this dangerous sea, every second of delay may mean the difference between life and death. They have to put the mutant octopus aside for the time being and focus all their attention on dealing with the sudden threat of level 7 zombies.

The air was filled with tension and excitement. Everyone knew that this time the opponent was no ordinary person. Xiao Jin took a deep breath, and a circle of soft but powerful light suddenly lit up around her body. That was her unique ability - the light shield, which could provide vital defense at a critical moment. The other players also displayed their own special skills. Some summoned sharp ice blades, while others transformed into extremely fast shadows, ready to give the zombies a fatal blow.

The battle is about to start, there are no extra words, only determination and resoluteness in the eyes. Everyone seems to be closely connected by an invisible bond, every blow is done with all their strength, every move is precise and deadly. In this life-and-death contest, they are not only fighting zombies, but also fighting fear and despair. In order to survive, for that glimmer of hope, they must win!

The zombie seemed to feel the threat from all directions, and it let out a low and long roar, which was filled with reluctance and anger, like a call from hell, shaking the entire space. But Xiao Jin and her companions did not retreat, and there was only the light of victory in their eyes. This battle was destined to be recorded in their legendary chapter.

"Shua!" The air seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, leaving a silver trail that was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. Xiao Jin's movements were as fast as lightning. The moment she attacked, her figure turned into an afterimage, and in an instant she crossed a distance of several meters and approached the hideous and roaring zombie. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, locking onto the target. The long knife in her hand shone with a cold light, like the sickle of the god of death, pointing directly at the zombie's rotten head that still had a bit of hideous vitality.

However, just when the fatal blow was about to fall, a crisp and piercing metal collision sound suddenly rang out, breaking the dead silence around. Xiao Jin's usual calmness and confidence froze at this moment. Her Shadow-Breaking Blade, the magical weapon that had been used countless times to slay demons and monsters in the apocalypse, actually made a mistake at this moment! The moment the tip of the blade touched the top of the zombie's head, it seemed to have encountered the hardest barrier in the world, leaving only a shallow scratch, and it could no longer move forward an inch, as if the zombie's head was made of the hardest steel.
