"Hmm, okay."

Zhu Wenwu nodded, pulled out the steel sword from the zombie's head, and said, "I'll take some people to guard the second floor, the personnel is already spread too thin."

Many people around, seeing Zhu Wenwu acting as if nothing had happened, showed expressions of surprise; the contrast was too stark.

Earlier, that woman had been electrocuted into charcoal by this zombie in an instant.

A man watching from a distance whispered, "Did Zhu Wenwu take a shot of adrenaline? How did he not die from that?"

The man with glasses next to him said in a deep voice, "I suspect that person in the settlement, called Su Changxing, is the Extraordinary, and maybe Zhu Wenwu has become one too."

His eyes glimmered with a hint of greed and longing as he coldly said, "We must figure out a way to become the Extraordinary, or else we won't survive... They definitely know how to become one."

Death instills fear, and being constantly near death drives people to madness.

...

Under the relentless impact of zombies, relying solely on the power of the settlement is no longer enough to resist the Undead Tide.

Su Changxing had no choice but to instruct Huang Biao to retract the defenses, allowing the Black Death Monkeys to take over part of the defense on the second floor.

This involved considerable risk.

In the Blood Moon, besides the "Monkey King," these Black Death Monkeys were abnormally irritable, and if not for the "Monkey King" suppressing them, they'd surely fight with the humans.

These monkeys excel at climbing, and their way of defending the second floor differs from humans; they intercept from outside the building, making it relatively easier.

With the addition of these monkeys, the defense of the second floor finally stabilized, preventing zombies from easily breaching it.

However, if an Extraordinary Zombie appears, regardless of where it enters from, it can break through their defenses, causing significant casualties.

As the exits were breached more frequently, Su Changxing had to shuttle back and forth between two exits, mainly to handle the Extraordinary Zombies that broke in.

These Extraordinary Zombies generally come in three types: Speed, Power, and the combined "Giant," with various other abilities but relatively fewer in number.

A cold gleam cut through the darkness.

Su Changxing dodged left, avoiding the zombie's pounce, and with a backhand slash, aimed at the zombie's forehead.

This zombie was extraordinarily fast, with a strong combat awareness, and wouldn't be defeated with a single blow even if it wasn't Su Changxing's match.

With black blood flying along the blade, one of the zombie's arms was completely sliced off by Su Changxing, dropping to the ground.

Then, in an agile twist mid-air, the zombie spun to claw at Su Changxing, aiming directly for his head.

The most terrifying aspect of zombies is their lack of excessive emotions and their immunity to injury, naturally making them half "Precisionists."

A rough wind sound approached from the side.

"Bang~"

The zombie flew away, crashing to the ground.

The "Monkey King" jumped down from the second floor, kicked the zombie's shoulder, and rushed toward the fallen zombie, punching its head.

The zombie's head exploded like a watermelon dropped from a height under the Monkey King's giant force.

After killing the zombie, the Monkey King seemed excited, howling up to the sky, feeling like it had performed in front of Su Changxing.

Su Changxing walked over, picked out the Extraordinary Crystal from the zombie, and kicked the Monkey King's rump, saying, "Why are you yelling, does it sound that loud?"

Though the monkey had considerable intelligence, it was essentially still a beast.

The Monkey King looked aggrieved, not understanding why Su Changxing disliked it so much.

Su Changxing put the black crystal into his backpack and said:

"Don't leave your post without permission, just guard up there. If a zombie breaks through from the second floor, it'll be very troublesome... Also, tell your clan to rein in; otherwise, the death toll would be uncontrollable."

But the Monkey King said, "There's no need for cowardly monkeys to exist; we only need strong monkeys."

Su Changxing didn't say much; he couldn't fully control the Monkey King's thoughts, after all, the Monkey King was an independent and autonomous individual with its own ideas.

Moreover, the Black Death Monkeys seem to have a very peculiar way of reproducing, able to breed a large number of monkeys in a short time, but can't increase the overall numbers.

So the Monkey King's strategy is to make every monkey strong to strengthen the entire tribe.

With one agile leap, the Monkey King climbed back to the second floor, its innate climbing ability far surpassing Su Changxing's.

Just after disposing of this zombie, before Su Changxing could catch his breath, he heard the howls on the west side grow louder again; obviously, the exit had been breached by zombies once more.

Rushing over, Su Changxing saw Huang Biao leading people to stand firm at the exit, not retreating, with zombies continuously knocking people to the ground.

Only for them to be dealt with by those around.

Having undergone six enhancements, Huang Biao's combat power increased massively, standing at the forefront slashing ferociously, roaring, and within a few seconds, three or four zombies fell before him.

Su Changxing rushed to Huang Biao's side, sliced through two zombies, and shouted, "Leave this to me, go for your fourth enhancement."

Huang Biao nodded and led a few people to the Blood Moon Shop.

At that point, around three in the afternoon, the number of Red Stones breached the three-thousand mark, allowing another round of people to be enhanced, with Blood Moon Shop having as many as three hundred Attribute Enhancements available.

The strength of those enhanced significantly increased, their efficiency in cleaning up zombies reaching five, even ten at a time, so even though they'd suffered over half casualties, the settlement was still not breached by zombies.

Yet, now everyone was extremely weary, exhausted, with some even lying down on the open ground of the settlement to rest, heedless of the surrounding dangers.

When Huang Biao led people to the Blood Moon Shop, they saw four or five individuals already waiting there.

They weren't listed individuals; they had only joined the settlement today.

With a frown, Huang Biao roughly guessed their intentions but still asked:

"What are you guys doing here? The settlement is under tight defense. What are you trying to do?"

Evidently, these few were the "wise guys" in the base, neither injured nor overly exhausted.

And for such "wise guys," they had a corresponding countermeasure to force them to stand guard at the exit.

But there's always a few who slip through the cracks.

The man with glasses smiled and said, "Boss Huang, I'm Song Linning. Our group wants to receive enhancement... These enhancement opportunities were fought for by everyone, so we should have a share too."

Before Huang Biao could speak, a man with scars all over, standing beside him, became furious and scolded:

"Cowards, what right do you have? You should be grateful we haven't kicked you out of the settlement yet."
