"It is indeed a bit too large," Huang Biao observed for a while before saying, "I'm wondering if their heads are harder than regular zombies."
Su Changxing looked at these giant zombies and thought of some legendary giants, similar to cyclopes and bronze giants.
These zombies had that kind of feeling, but their size was still not quite there, lacking a certain oppressive aura, not giving the impression of being unbeatable.
[Zombie (Extraordinary): Gigantic Tier Nine]
"True Knowledge" provided the information, confirming that these zombies were indeed Extraordinary, with the ability from their tier allowing their bodies to grow gigantic.
What was rather odd was that all these zombies were gigantic. Could it be that they could be specifically directed to become Extraordinary of a certain tier?
Or were they influenced by something else?
At the same time, a message popped up on the phone.
[Side Quest: You discovered gigantic zombies, they seem to be influenced by something.
Kill the zombies (1000 Points)
Find the influencing object (Reward: Random item)]
Su Changxing asked, "Did you guys receive a mission?"
Yan Xu glanced at his phone and said, "Ah, yes, there is one. It's to kill zombies to gain points. You guys got that too, right?"
"Yes."
The other few people nodded in agreement.
They did not receive the mission to "find the influencing object," meaning that the mission was issued based on each person's perception. They hadn't realized that these zombies had been made gigantic due to some influence, so they didn't receive the corresponding mission.
But once they found the so-called influencing object, they would naturally receive a reward.
Su Changxing looked around and noticed that there were still quite a few zombies on the surrounding streets. A bit of noise here would attract them.
Su Changxing thought for a moment and said, "This is a bit troublesome. These zombies have become gigantic but can still move freely, which means their bones have indeed hardened. My arrows can't guarantee a one-hit kill... but it's still worth a try."
"Are we really going to try?"
Yan Xu was taken aback. He originally thought Su Changxing would give up, but unexpectedly, he wanted to give it a try. He found it hard to imagine how to defeat such large creatures.
Perhaps retreating was the best option.
Su Changxing paused and continued, "Let's clear out the zombies around us first. If we cause a big commotion, it could trigger an undead tide."
Huang Biao had no objections and nodded, "Let's do it then. Let's clear out the surrounding zombies first."
A young man in a yellow hoodie initially wanted to say something, but after hearing Huang Biao speak, he kept silent.
Then, the six of them began clearing the surrounding zombies. Yan Xu and the other four were counted among the good fighters at the base, at least equipped well enough to deal with these ordinary zombies, usually taking them down in two or three hits.
Relatively speaking, Huang Biao was much more efficient, averaging two hits per zombie, and his actions were much faster.
The young man in the yellow hoodie took down two zombies first, feeling a sense of accomplishment. He glanced toward Su Changxing, wanting to know what made this person stand out, as he was also a newcomer yet had such a significant voice.
Suddenly, his expression froze.
The scene around Su Changxing was completely different. His movements were not fast, but a casual slash could easily cleave a zombie's head open, and his actions were without any awkwardness or pause.
In just over ten seconds, four or five zombies had already fallen, and upon close inspection, the cracks on each zombie's head were quite similar in location and appearance, more like they were made by a machine rather than a person wielding a blade.
Su Changxing's speed in clearing zombies was faster than the four of them combined.
This was astounding, but it was the truth.
He seemed to understand why Su Changxing had such a significant voice; it all stemmed from his formidable strength.
He was convinced.
The muscles on Huang Biao's face twitched. It seemed that Su Changxing had become even more formidable than before, gradually becoming something beyond human. Vaguely, he developed a strong interest in Extraordinary beings; no one could resist the allure of immense power, especially in such a dark world.
Su Changxing looked at the zombies on the ground, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. Although he had been deliberately controlling the strength of each swing, just enough to kill a zombie, conserving energy.
It was challenging to achieve that consistently, especially after several swings. Either he used too much force, slicing off a zombie's head, or too little, failing to kill the zombie.
His sword swinging technique had plenty of room for improvement. The simplest way to quickly enhance it would be to find relevant skills.
Skills could save years, even decades, of training time and experience accumulation.
After nearly half an hour, the six of them finally managed to clear out the surrounding zombies, albeit barely. The others looked at Su Changxing with odd expressions, as he had cleared more than half of the zombies on his own.
"This way of acquiring points doesn't seem too slow, it's just a bit tiring."
Su Changxing calculated that he had cleared over 70 zombies, totaling 740 points. Hmm, which was equivalent to taking out two survivors.
Well, it still seemed quite slow.
"Let's begin."
Without much hesitation, Su Changxing picked up the coal-black Shadow Bow, drew a dark arrow from his backpack, crouched down, and aimed through a gap in the door at the eye of a three-meter-tall zombie.
Even though their skulls were hard, an arrow through the eye could easily pierce their heads.
The orange sunset scattered across his face, casting a long, illusory shadow on the street. The world suddenly fell into a still state; sound and touch stopped.
An invisible black line flew out, leaving the bow, brushed past the door, and shot into a giant zombie's eye, piercing through its forehead and bursting out black blood.
The zombie wobbled and then heavily fell to the ground. The other giant zombies sensed something and looked out, noticing Su Changxing and the others.
"Ah~~"
With massive blood-red pupils, fangs jutting out from their mouths, the gigantic zombies let out deafening roars. A four-meter-tall zombie threw a slow, heavy swipe, crashing against a glass wall, creating several cracks. Another swipe shattered the glass under the forceful impact.
Seeing the glass wall shatter, a wave of terror washed over the young man in the yellow hoodie, who trembled, saying, "Boss Huang, maybe we should run..."
"Run my ass, kill them!"
Huang Biao charged directly at a giant zombie with his Steel Saber in hand, and after a brief hesitation, Yan Xu and the others followed suit.
This was just like fighting a war; as long as the leader was willing to charge and fight, the people behind naturally dared to charge and fight too.
Su Changxing unhurriedly drew an arrow, nocked it on the bow, aimed at the eye of the four-meter-tall zombie, and released the bowstring. The arrow shot out swiftly.
The four-meter giant zombie seemed to sense it, slightly tilting its head. The next moment, its head tilted back as an arrow heavily nailed its forehead, black blood spurting out.
The arrow was lodged in the bone and failed to kill it. As expected, these giant zombies' skulls were indeed harder than regular zombies'.
Su Changxing frowned; this was an arrow enhanced by the Split Head effect, yet it still couldn't pierce this zombie's skull.
