Wang Zhifan carefully observed the zombie carrying a speaker in front of the small shop, judging it to be of the same type as the speaker zombie he saw on the street last night, but definitely not the same one, because the one he saw last night was obviously larger.

Just as he was pondering this, something unexpected happened. The nearly three-meter-tall bloated zombie suddenly took a step forward and charged directly at him with clear aggressive intent!

What shocked Wang Zhifan even more was that he simultaneously noticed that several ordinary zombies around the speaker zombie also locked onto him as their target, quickly stretching their half-rotten arms as they ran towards him!

"Why do they attack me as soon as they see me?! Could they all be leader-level zombies? That's impossible!"

Being targeted with hatred by almost all the zombies at the shop entrance right upon meeting, Wang Zhifan was extremely puzzled. He was well aware of the collusive effect of the Chapter of Obscurity pendant he was wearing. Even the bizarrely powerful zombie he encountered in the supermarket earlier ignored him, so these seemingly weaker zombies shouldn't defy this rule. But since it happened, there had to be something strange going on!

"Why are you standing there? Go attack! You don't expect us to do all the work while you reap the rewards, do you?!"

As Wang Zhifan frowned at the zombies charging at him, the female gunner player beside him urged impatiently, because in her view, Wang Zhifan's current performance was too weak, and he seemed to be deliberately slacking off.

"I don't need anything from this shop, you two can handle it."

Wang Zhifan immediately replied without even turning his head towards her, while his body began to retreat, his gaze sweeping over the approaching zombies, seemingly trying to identify something unusual.

"Brother! Don't chicken out now that we're here! The three of us together can take them down easily!"

The young mage standing a bit further from Wang Zhifan saw him declaring his withdrawal, and quickly tried to persuade him. At the same time, he pointed his white magic staff at the zombies charging towards Wang Zhifan, causing a large amount of frost to rapidly form on them, instantly freezing several ordinary zombies, while also slowing down the nearly three-meter-tall speaker zombie significantly. Its steps towards Wang Zhifan became almost slow-motion.

However, this timely assistance from the young mage only made Wang Zhifan retreat faster instead of changing his mind to abandon the battle.

"Something's wrong! These zombies definitely aren't leader-level! There's a big problem! This place is dangerous!"

Alarm bells rang in Wang Zhifan's mind, and he turned to run back down the alley he came from, as he realized the situation here was more complicated than it appeared, and he needed to maintain a safe distance.

"That guy is such a liability!"

As Wang Zhifan turned to leave without a word, the female gunner player nearby glanced at his retreating figure with contempt, using her slightly dry lips to deliver a scornful comment. She then used her rifle to shoot through two of the frozen ordinary zombies at the shop front. In her view, the current enemies weren't difficult to deal with, and losing a liability might even improve their performance.

However, as this female player was busy shooting the frozen zombies, she failed to notice the young mage who just used a frost spell now turned his head to look at the fleeing Wang Zhifan, with an imperceptible shadow passing over his handsome face.

Suddenly, as if someone gave an order, the speaker zombie, which had been slowly pursuing Wang Zhifan under the effect of the frost, abruptly stopped its forward steps, planted the huge speaker on its shoulder to the ground, and like a drummer, began to pound on the speaker's shell with its large palms, creating a maddening reverberating noise!

"What is this zombie doing? Did it use a special skill?"

The female gunner player, who was shooting nearby ordinary zombies, was startled by this development. She hadn't anticipated the large zombie to suddenly display such unnatural behavior, so she turned to question the mage beside her.

At this moment, she realized the mage next to her was holding his head in pain, squatting on the ground, seemingly overwhelmed by some severe adverse condition.

"What's wrong with you... Does this noise really affect you that much?"

The gunner player saw the mage's state and her face showed hesitation, clearly noticing something odd about this zombie-slaying collaboration. So, after a moment of indecision, she decided to mimic Wang Zhifan and made a run for it, leaving behind the mage, who was still squatting in pain, to draw the zombies' attention.

But by this stage in the events, some people's fates were already sealed.

As soon as the gunner player reached the alleyway they came from, she found it filled with cold zombies blocking her path, and when she turned back, she saw the speaker zombie had stopped pounding and was now chasing after her, with a dozen or so ordinary zombies appearing around it from nowhere!

"That mage guy..."

The gunner player instinctively wanted to find the mage's figure, but zombies blocked her view, and she couldn't tell if he was still squatting there.

"These creatures think they can trap me? I doubt it!"

Seeing this, she realized she had fallen into a trap, but she was not terribly afraid, because after all, she was a Level 11 gunner, and it would take more than these monsters to stop her.

However, once a hunter's trap is set, it means they are well-prepared to kill their prey.

Just as the gunner player prepared to shoot her way out, she suddenly felt a strong tremor beneath her feet! The ground began to crack deeply!

Having quick reflexes, she immediately used the gunner's backward jumping shot skill, timing it perfectly so that as she jumped backward, she shot directly at a large-mouthed creature emerging from the ground beneath her!

But the creature attacking from the ground wasn't ordinary. Despite being hit twice by the player, it showed little signs of injury, and in the blink of an eye, it completely emerged from the ground, charging at the player who had just landed.
