The Screamer is different from zombies; they are more orderly beings, having organs similar to animals and possessing a closed-loop life system, akin to the Black Death Monkeys.
After being sliced open in the lower abdomen by Su Changxing, the Screamer advances instead of retreating, filled with fury, vowing to break the "bug" that hurt it into pieces.
"Awo~"
The Monkey King roars and pounds its chest, crashing head-on from below into the Screamer's open lower abdomen, its sharp claws on its hand easily piercing into its body.
The Screamer, feeling pain, grabs the Monkey King again with one hand and smashes it onto the ground.
"Bang~"
Stones fly wildly.
The Monkey King seems unfazed, continuously struggling under the grip of the Screamer, its body as stubborn as a toilet stone, smelly and hard.
At least that's how the Screamer sees it; this little thing is not only strong but also hard to kill, like a slippery flea.
Su Changxing seizes the opportunity to flip onto the back of the Screamer, pulling out the steel saber stuck in the bone, and swings it towards the damaged area of the Screamer's head.
This is a lethal strike; if it hits accurately, it can pierce through its brain, killing it.
The Screamer senses danger, discards the Monkey King in its hand, and flips again, turning its head to bite at Su Changxing.
But it's still a little slow; Su Changxing has already stabbed its brain, easily breaking through the exoskeleton with the "Split Head" talent.
He kicks with one foot, evading the Screamer's attack, and fiercely pulls out the blade from its brain, bringing out bits of flesh and blood.
The light in the Screamer's eyes fades as if its strength has been suddenly sapped, falling among the Undead Tide.
Su Changxing successfully took down this Screamer; although the whole process took only a few minutes, it was not easy, even difficult, as any mistake could have led to a vastly different outcome.
After the Screamer's death, the zombies scatter, moving towards the Screamer's body, devouring its flesh.
Was it the Screamer that had been guiding these zombies all along?
The Monkey King lets out a long cry, many monkeys leap down from above, charging into the Undead Tide, bravely fearless of death.
With these monkeys drawing the Tide's attention, their pressure reduces significantly, Su Changxing and the Monkey King retreat from left and right, crossing the Tide.
They need to face more than a dozen zombies that come one after another, also contend with the power of the whole Undead Tide.
The Tide is like waves, one after another, continuous and unending, failing to block just once would lead to being overwhelmed.
Su Changxing seems relaxed, leveraging combat skills from Fighting Specialization to cleverly evade most attacks, as the wounds on his body constantly heal thanks to strong Healing Ability.
But things aren't as optimistic for the Monkey King.
Zombies continuously create new wounds on him, leaving the Monkey King covered in scars, soon having over ten wounds, seeming unable to stand steadily.
Su Changxing furrows his brow, estimating that the Monkey King is severely wounded under the Screamer's attack.
However, the distance here isn't too far; nearing the edge of the Tide, Su Changxing lifts the fallen Monkey King with one hand, leaping out of the Tide.
At this time, the Monkey King is covered in scars, with several large gashes showing bone.
Next, a screeching sound is heard from behind.
Su Changxing throws it to the ground, turns to look, and sees two purple silhouettes standing outside the exit, strikingly conspicuous, evoking fear.
Just finished off one Screamer, now two more appear.
The crowd is in uproar and wails.
Zhu Wenwu comes up, looking at the Monkey King on the ground, asks solemnly, "Is its injury too serious?"
Su Changxing tightly closes his eyes, shakes his head, says nothing, indeed cannot say anything.
Zhu Wenwu realizes Su Changxing must be in a special state, related to the Extraordinary, pauses and says:
"Brother Su, Xiaobo has likely lost combat capability, later you take care of one, I and Zhou An will tackle the other."
Su Changxing nods, agreeing to the arrangement, he also can't handle two Screamers, unless they separate these two zombies, defeat one first, then deal with the other, would there be a chance of winning.
The situation is relatively better now; at least one Screamer has been dealt with, not facing three simultaneously.
The two Screamers stand outside the exit, looking inside but don't rush in, seemingly observing, they first spot the corpse of their kind being gnawed by zombies within the Tide.
These two Screamers aren't as furious as imagined, merely roar outside, bluffing in a way, then turn and run, disappearing into the red mist, like a dog struck by a stick.
Zhou An's mouth is agape, saying, "They ran? These brutes would actually retreat."
Cheering rises from the crowd, though they don't know why the Screamers suddenly left but are glad they did.
Su Changxing is also a bit dumbfounded, not expecting the Screamers to be such cowards, backing off after losing a companion.
So even Screamers assess the situation before acting?
No, though.
It should also be attributed to Shen Xuan previously killing three or four Screamers, leading to most of their kind dying, leaving these two Screamers frightened and backing off.
Indeed, maybe the one that came in first was coaxed by the other two to probe, unfortunate.
Su Changxing sighs inwardly, with these Screamers gone, things are much simpler, only need to clear out the zombies.
Despite their massive loss, at least the community is preserved.
Zhu Wenwu shows a look of excitement, says:
"Brother Su, not much time left until dawn, just hold for another two hours, and we'll survive the Blood Moon."
Su Changxing raises his left hand, gestures with a slashing motion, then carrying the steel saber, charges into the Tide, every swing accompanied by a sharp whoosh, slicing zombies as if cutting through tofu.
Zombies fall one after another around Su Changxing.
Quickly, the ground is littered with piles of zombie corpses.
Su Changxing steps over the bodies, advancing forward, leading the group step by step to push back the zombies.
Among the crowd, over seventy have been empowered, and the number gradually increases over time, each enhanced individual can easily take down a zombie.
If one possesses proficient combat skills, they can one-shot the weakest zombies.
Even without Su Changxing, they can withstand the Tide for quite some time, though unlikely to drive them back outside the community, lasting long would inevitably lead to defeat.
Su Changxing surveys the battlefield situation, estimating no major issues; apparently, since the Screamers' retreat, the zombie assault hasn't been as fierce as before.
Twenty minutes later, Su Changxing fights his way to the community entrance, drenched in blood, spotting the backline zombies becoming crowded.
