Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Believe in Zombies?
Su Jin, however, watched the Wood Element Zombie with a wary eye, and then pulled Lu Guanhai behind her.
She didn’t believe there could be such a harmless zombie.
Especially since this was a mutated zombie.
“There’s something fishy about an abnormal situation.”
“Dad, better to be careful,”
Su Jin said, feeling that this zombie wasn’t so straightforward.
...
“Xiao Jin, it’s okay, it didn’t react much when we attacked it just now,”
Lin Cheng recounted the incident that occurred when they first encountered this mutated zombie, which hadn’t attacked them from the start. Although Lu Hao insisted on killing it, Lin Cheng thought perhaps there really were zombies that didn’t eat humans in this world, and this one even grew medicinal herbs.
“You didn’t show any flaws in front of it just now, did you?”
Su Jin asked Lin Cheng while an idea also popped into her head.
“Nope, we’ve been standing here since it got frozen,” Lin Cheng replied, puzzled. Why was Xiao Jin asking this?
Su Jin walked to a spot slightly closer to the zombie, turned around, and said to the others, “Regardless of whether it attacks people or not, I’m going to kill it.”
Roar!!!
As soon as Su Jin’s voice fell, a huge roaring sound came from behind her!
Lu Hao also reacted swiftly, trying to pull Su Jin back to safety, because the Wood Element Zombie suddenly stood up and pounced towards the seemingly unguarded Su Jin!
Hisss!
Su Jin sneered.
In the midst of turning around, the zombie was firmly nailed to the ground by a row of wooden spikes that had sprung up from the ground.
The wooden spikes pierced through the soles of its feet and protruded out at the thighs, and the zombie, feeling no pain, continued to claw forward with its upper body.
Following Su Jin’s signal, Lu Hao threw a large fireball directly at the mutated zombie.
As the zombie was engulfed in flames, countless green branches sprouted all over its body, seemingly trying to extinguish the fire, but Lu Hao’s fire grew more intense, burning it to a charred lump.
“What, what’s going on, why did it suddenly try to bite?”
Lin Xiuyuan was still shaken; he thought that Su Jin was too close to the zombie just now. It seemed that Su Jin had been prepared all along.
“Its special ability must be at least Level Seven,” Su Jin concluded.
Then she dug out a shiny green Crystal Core from the charred remains, looking pleased with the High-Level Mutated Zombie’s Crystal Core in her hand. She hadn’t expected such a great harvest on her visit here today.
“So it was just pretending earlier?”
Lu Hao understood Su Jin’s implication while also feeling a thrill of alarm. Could it be that high-level zombies had developed their own thoughts?
Su Jin nodded and began explaining to everyone. She had indeed deliberately turned her back on the zombie when she spoke those words, simply as a test. She hadn’t expected it to be true.
In her past life, people had discovered that some high-level zombies seemed to have developed their own tactics. They not only protected themselves according to their weaknesses but would even deliberately make humans lower their guard and then seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Yet she was also shocked; this was only the first year of the Apocalypse, so how could such high-level zombies have appeared? And a Wood Element at that!
“I guess… this might have been a very diligent zombie,”
Lu Hao said.
