Chapter 129: Zombie Dog (Part 2)

“Mu Zi? Check out the information on this monster!” Sister Rui called out to Mu Zi.

“No, there is no information about such a monster in the recon meter database. It might be some kind of new monster!”

Mu Zi’s recon meter was always put in the room with the interference function on. The purpose was to prevent the guards from installing surveillance equipment. However, this time, he hastily looked at the recon meter and shook his head.

“Use Detection!” Feng Luo reminded him.

In War, the basic function of the recon meter was to provide information by scanning the characteristics of a monster and getting the attribute characteristics of the monster through a data match in the Federation’s database. Obviously, that Zombie Dog was not recorded in the Federation’s database. That was why players of other occupations could not get any information about it.

Nonetheless, the Scouts were an exception. They could use the Detection skill and directly obtain details on monsters from the system. It could be considered a “bug” skill. Of course, the level of detail in the information obtained depended on the player’s level of Detection.

Zombie Dog (Level 45, Normal). A type of mutated dog infected by a virus. Species number: ??. HP: 4200. Skill: ??. Attack has great viral infectivity.

After using Detection, Mu Zi quickly got part of the details on the Zombie Dog.

“A Level-45 monster. Even though it is at the Normal grade, it is still higher than imagined. I’m not sure what grade the zombies are at, but it must be slightly lower than the Zombie Dogs.”

Feng Luo looked at the two terrifying Zombie Dogs on the streets below. He thought that they looked quite similar to the one in the movie Resident Evil, but they were significantly bigger in size.

As a Doctor himself, Xiao Jiu was apparently shocked by the disgusting and terrifying appearance of the Zombie Dogs. He was stunned for a moment before he managed to react. Looking at the two terrified NPC couple who were still holding their hands tightly while running for their lives, he seemed to be moved by the “true love” between them. Then he hurriedly said, “Hey, are we not going to save those people? Those two look like they are going to be caught up by the monsters!”

“Depends on how things go!” Feng Luo answered plainly.

In the game, he would not act hastily to save NPCs under normal circumstances. Due to the overly immersive scene and plot, certain situations would occasionally impact people’s hearts, causing them to be impulsive. For him, though, the spectacle below was not enough to evoke any reactions in him.

Moreover, there were plainclothes guard soldiers downstairs. If they were to use their weapons and expose their identities, there might be a high chance that the mission would fail.

“Argh!”

The calf of the female NPC tourist was bitten by a Zombie Dog. The canine teeth, which were more than 10 centimeters long, sank into her mercilessly. Just one bite with a crack sound, and the calf, with a sandaled foot on the end, was bitten until it was distorted. It was quite evident that the bone had been broken.

The bite force was powerful, thought Feng Luo. It can be estimated that its attack power is not weak either!

Feng Luo secretly made comparisons between these two Zombie Dogs and the species he had once seen in Resident Evil. He realized that these two Zombie Dogs were significantly stronger in speed in attack power.

Under the dim streetlight, it was very challenging to clearly observe the fast pouncing of the Zombie Dogs. The “truly loving” young man was dragged back across the ground as his girlfriend was bitten by the Zombie Dog. Surprisingly, his reaction was to immediately throw his girlfriend’s hand away. He quickly crawled a little distance across the ground in confusion, picked himself up using all fours, and then ran away without turning back. His face blanched with fear at the piercing and ripping sounds that were coming from behind him; the fear even made him wet and sh*t himself.

“Urp!”

Watching the limbs of the female NPC being torn apart by the two Zombie Dogs—with her heart, intestines all exposed—Xiao Jiu and the female Chipmaster could not help but puke even though they did not have the gory visual mode turned on. Sister Rui was the only one who appeared undisturbed. Other than a slight frown, she was not very responsive to the situation.

However, it seemed like the T-virus infected Zombie Dogs had shed all their fur were not interested in people who had been bitten to death, or maybe they just did not want to let go of any prey. After nibbling a few bites on the torn-apart female NPC, one of the Zombie Dogs sprang up all fours and sprinted toward the fleeing young man.

“Ah! Help!”

The young man who had run off after ditching his girlfriend smelled blood and heard the thuds of footfalls bearing down on him from the rear. He ran as fast as his legs could carry him, while at the same time, he desperately screamed for help.

Unfortunately, his screams could not stop the Zombie Dog from chasing him. With a leap into the air, it jumped a few meters ahead and swooped over. The young man was immediately thrown to the ground, with his calf bitten by the blood-dripping mouth of the Zombie Dog.

“Serves him right!” Xiao Jiu had his hand covering the mouth, but seeing that male NPC being hunted down by the Zombie Dog, he cursed in a low voice, then turned around to continue throwing up.

Bang!

Suddenly, a gunshot was fired. It hit the chest of the Zombie Dog that was biting the young man.

“Damn it! What is this? There’s a beast—for real?” someone said.

A few plainclothes guard soldiers who had been secretly spying on Feng Luo and the gang were the ones who had shot it. They had let down their guard to rest in the room since Feng Luo and his group had not conducted any abnormal activities for three consecutive days. At this time, they finally came out of their hideout and fired hastily when they saw the scenario of the Zombie Dog attacking people.

“Whoa!”

Unexpectedly, the Zombie Dog, which had been shot in its chest, reacted as if nothing had happened. It lowered its head again and tore a bloody chunk of flesh from the back of the young man. It then raised its head, wrinkled its nose and curled its lips back over its teeth. It looked at the guard soldiers with a murderous, bloodthirsty gaze as the blood in its mouth dripped to the ground and formed a puddle.

“Ah!”

The young man let out a scream. He could not run after his leg had been broken by the bite. Now, the severe injury to his back was causing him to experience extreme pain.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A tall, slim guard soldier fired his pistol continuously. With the distance being no more than 10 meters, each of his shots hit the body of the Zombie Dog accurately, yet it took nearly eight to nine shots to kill the hairless Zombie Dog. It was covered with bullet holes, and its intestines were dragging across the ground when it finally dropped dead with its eyes open.

“Please, please… help… me!” To everyone’s surprise, that young man was not dead yet. He extended his trembling, blood-soaked hand. His calf was broken, and at least two pounds of flesh had been torn from his back by the Zombie Dog. His bloody bones and pounding lungs could even be seen, but he was, surprisingly, still alive.

Of course, Feng Luo was the only one who knew he could not last. This was because the moment he was bitten, the T-virus entered his bloodstream and spread throughout his body.

“Calling main party,” the slender guard soldier shouted at his communicator while holding his pistol high. “The streets in Area 14 have been attacked by some unknown mutated dogs. There is someone with serious injuries to his back and legs. Backup is needed! Backup is needed!” He ran toward the young man while yelling at him, “Don’t panic. Backup will come right away! Sh*t! Damn it! Why is the signal not connecting?”

There seemed to be no response from the communicator, so the slender plainclothes guard soldier swore loudly. He then ran over to the young man and helped to pull the body of the Zombie Dog off of him. He then helped the young man into a sitting position.

“Hold on,” he said. “Backup will be here soon—ah!”

As soon as he helped the young man to a sitting position, the slender guard suddenly shrieked. It turned out that the Zombie Dog was not entirely dead yet, even though it had already been showered with bullets until its intestines had spilled out. It suddenly opened its mouth and sank its two 10-centimeter-long canines deep into his calf.

“Sh*t!” the slender guard soldier screamed in pain.

Luckily, his partner had caught up in time. The two of them fired about a dozen shots at the Zombie Dog. Finally, they managed to smash its brain with bullets.

Fortunately, the strength of the Zombie Dog’s bite was not as strong as it had been before; the officer’s leg was not completely broken like the young man’s. However, the other plainclothes guard soldier, who was shooting another Zombie Dog, came back empty-handed. This was because as soon as the first Zombie Dog collapsed, the other Zombie Dog tilted its head, swung its hairless tail as if it had received an order, and turned around to run toward the dark alley it had come from.

Although the guard soldier was chasing him from behind and firing at it continuously with his pistol, the Zombie Dog was unusually agile. It unexpectedly managed to avoid most of the bullets with its irregular running pattern. As for the last one or two bullets that peppered some holes into the Zombie Dog’s body, the bullets penetrated its body, but it still ran away swiftly as if it entirely unaffected.

After it ran for about 20 meters, just before it made it back into the dark alley—

Bang!

A dull gunshot suddenly resounded through the alley. The Zombie Dog, which was running at high speed, seemed to have been walloped by something from the side. Its whole body was thrown back by the impact. Then its neck suddenly broke with a bang.

The remainder of the body slid forward along the limestone road for some distance due to its inertia, scattering a long trail of blood and internal organs.

“Sniper?”

Feng Luo twitched his ears and quickly turned his head toward the corner of the rooftop to a three-story building not far away. However, there were no signs of anyone on it by then.

The Level-45 Zombie Dog was easily killed with just one shot. Even after breaking the neck of the Zombie Dog, the impact of the shot was still so powerful that it created a visible crater on the limestone road, demonstrating the power and lethality of the gun.

This kind Lethal damage was indeed inflicted by the “Python of Death,” the Barrett.
