The trapped beast finally broke free from its chains. The horse-level zombie raised its terrifying face and showed a ferocious smile to the young man next to it.
Seeing the monster escape, Lu Yu didn't care about the specific position where the gun was aimed, and shot twice in the opponent's face!
But the expected kill did not occur. The two bullets missed the skull and caused almost no damage except for taking away a layer of shriveled flesh and blood.
"It's over..."
Lu Yu frowned tightly, and at the same time he quickly retreated, trying to distance himself from the monster on the opposite side.
The horse-level zombies that had broken free from the predicament also screamed angrily, stomped on the ground with both feet, and jumped out fiercely.
Usually, the most lethal hunting tool of a horse-level zombie is its legs.
Through high-speed movement and sharp claws on the toes, he can use sneak attacks to end the target's life neatly.
But today, this horse-level zombie had just escaped from trouble, and there was a crossbow arrow stuck in the Achilles tendon of its left leg, so it was somewhat difficult to move.
Probably because the hatred towards Lu Yu had fermented for too long, the horse-level zombie actually made a killing action similar to a secondary infection, trying to knock the prey in front of him to the ground.
Just when the horse-level zombie's skinny claws were about to grab Lu Yu's neck, a scream suddenly came from behind.
"Lower your head!"
Lu Yu, who was retreating wildly, didn't even think about it, lowered his head and sat back on his butt, apparently intending to roll on the spot due to the inertia of his retreat.
The moment he lowered his head, a sharp crossbow arrow flew out, grazing his scalp and heading straight for the horse-level zombie's neck.
But this crossbow arrow also only penetrated into the monster's body and did not cause much damage.
"Shooting in the neck doesn't work, so shoot in the Achilles tendon!"
Lu Yu, who was rolling on the ground, yelled and raised his gun to shoot again, but the horse-level zombie's legs were extremely flexible, making it impossible to hit.
In desperation, Lu Yu had no choice but to fire at will, pouring out three bullets in an attempt to delay the opponent's movements.
"Roar!"
The horse-level zombies that escaped the restraints were like wild beasts released from the cage. After receiving three bullets, they advanced without retreating. Their movement speed suddenly increased, they deflected the direction of their advance, and rushed towards Lu Yu to pounce.
Lu Yu, who had not adjusted properly due to rolling, was immediately stunned. He did not expect that this mutated zombie without eyeballs could judge his position so accurately.
In a hurry, Lu Yu had no choice but to cross his arms and press the butt of his pistol against the head of the horse-level zombie to prevent him from biting off his neck.
But he could take care of the bloody mouth of the horse-level zombie, but he couldn't control the two arms as thin as bamboo poles.
The black claws that could scratch the car paint could naturally penetrate Lu Yu's body easily.
Just a muffled groan was heard, and dark red blood bloomed quietly on the clothes. Accompanied by the young man's rapid breathing, it spread to the surroundings all the time.
"Xiao Ran!!"
Enduring the pain in his body, Lu Yu shouted the little Loli's name loudly.
Although his body was injured, his mind was extremely clear.
At this time, the monster threw himself to the ground, which was the best time for Xiao Ran to take action.
Seeing Lu Yu being knocked down by the monster, Xiao Ran was anxious, but she still quickly added another arrow to the modified crossbow. While loading the string, the girl stepped forward with light steps.
She prepared to get closer to ensure the attack was safe.
A screeching sound like ten times the cicada's cry came from the chest of the horse-level zombie, and its keen hearing made it notice the girl's approach.
Lu Yu's bullets did not pose a threat to its hard skull, but the girl's arrows could make it feel scared.
The severe pain in the Achilles tendon of his left leg reminds the monster all the time that the girl approaching quickly is more dangerous than the prey beneath him!
Therefore, it wanted to quickly kill the prey under it, and then stand up to respond to the girl's attack.
But how could Lu Yu, who was below, let the horse-level zombie leave? He dropped his pistol, put his hands directly around the opponent's neck, and used a strange and firm gesture to pull the monster's body back as it was about to leave.
This violent movement caused the sharp claws that penetrated Lu Yu's body to advance a little further. The pain was like a blazing fuse, constantly burning the young man's reason.
Where he couldn't see, that is, on the surface of the wound where the sharp claws penetrated, a large number of spiderweb-like black blood threads appeared at the same time.
As the pain intensified, these blood streaks seemed to come alive.
At first it was just slow peristalsis, but as time went by, the frequency of blood vessel peristalsis became fast and weird, as if there were a large number of thread-like parasites pulling out and rolling under the skin.
The blood that originally gushes from the wound appeared to be slow, and then condensed at an incredible speed.
However, during this condensation process, some of the light yellow mycelium stained on the claws of the horse-level zombies also fell into it and was swallowed and fused by the body.
Of course, all this happened under the cover of clothes, and Lu Yu was currently focusing all his attention on the horse-level zombies on his body, so he didn't notice anything strange about the wound at all.
The original tearing pain was blunted, as if a transparent shield was added between the wound and Lu Yu's nerves. At best, he just felt a numbness.
"Buzz!"
The bowstring of the modified crossbow vibrated the air, and the arrow shot into the right Achilles tendon of the horse-level zombie with a buzzing sound.
What followed was another roar from the horse-level zombie.
In fact, both Xiao Ran and Lu Yu now understand that the current attack on the Achilles tendon is just a delay.
After all, since neither crossbow arrows nor bullets can break the skull, they can't end the monster's life at all.
You can only achieve the effect of ensuring your own safety by continuously weakening the opponent's mobility.
But judging from the current situation, how long can this weakening last?
You must know that the monster that knocked Lu Yu down was not an ordinary cat or dog, but a real mutated zombie.
The two people who had dealt with phase-level zombies before knew that as long as they were mutated zombies, they had the ability to heal themselves to some extent.

Although the strange monster in front of him does not look as strong as a phase-level zombie, judging from its skull that can block bullets, it is definitely not something that can be easily killed.
Real death threats are like food that quietly spoils. When Lu Yu and Xiao Ran smell the moldy smell, they realize that they are only one step away from losing their lives.
"This time we have encountered a tough situation...Xiaoran, please leave it alone and run away!"
Lu Yu, who sensed something was wrong, had already begun to think about the girl's retreat. Their weapons could not kill the strange monster in front of them. Although the horse-level zombie could still be trapped by him, if he waited until he lost blood and lost strength, the next one would The person who was threatened was Xiaoran next to him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Where did the strength you used to deal with the muscle monster go? Let's explode again!"
The girl's immature face was full of anxiety, but the movements in her hands did not stop at all. As her fingertips flew, another crossbow arrow was attached to the bowstring.
Aim, shoot, all in one go.
The target is still the monster's Achilles tendon.
"If it can burst out, why should I hold it back? Waiting for the New Year? This thing is uncontrollable..."
Lu Yu roared with difficulty, trying hard to recall his own state when fighting against the muscle monster.
But instead of showing signs of increased strength, the hands wrapped around the monster's neck became increasingly sore.
It seemed as if something was rapidly draining the power from his body, and he was about to lose control of the horse-level zombies on his body.
"Run quickly, I can't hold it anymore..."
The strenuous reminder spat out from Lu Yu's throat. As the horse-level zombie struggled more and more violently, the young man's arms slipped away bit by bit.
It seemed like he was taking a gamble, but also seemed like he didn't want to believe everything that had happened before.
Xiao Ran gritted her teeth and suddenly aimed the crossbow's sight at the horse-level zombie's head, which had few hairs left.
The human skull is composed of a total of eight brain bones. The hardest part is the frontal bone of the forehead, while the most vulnerable part is the "pterygoid" located in the temporal fossa, which is formed by the splicing of several brain bones. "H" shaped bone suture.
This "H"-shaped bone suture is located at the weakest point on the side wall of the cranial cavity, which is often referred to as the "temple" location.
The content about human anatomy was all knowledge that Xiaoran had read in medical books. Her photographic memory allowed her to easily recall this memory.
Although it is unclear how similar the body structure of zombies is to humans, it stands to reason that zombies are mutated from human-infected viruses and should not be much different.
Anyway, there is no other way at the moment, so I might as well give it a try!
He pulled the trigger with his fingertip, and the crossbow arrow was shot out, targeting the temple of the horse-level zombie.
But at this moment, the horse-level zombie "twitched" without warning, its forehead and neck raised upward at the same time, as if a pair of invisible hands were forcibly pulling this terrifying monster.
Due to this deviation, the crossbow arrow did not pierce the fragile temple, but instead pierced the cheek.
The black mucus gushing out from the wound immediately flowed down the horse-level zombie's big mouth, dripping onto Lu Yu's face.
"Oops!"
Xiaoran screamed something bad in her heart, and her mood became extremely bitter.
Just when the girl thought the monster entangled with Lu Yu was about to escape, something strange happened.
The horse-level zombie that had evaded the fatal blow due to a sudden "convulsion" suddenly stopped struggling, as if it were a still stone sculpture, no longer moving at all.
"Run quickly, Xiao Ran! Hey... why doesn't it move..."
Feeling that the monster pressing on him stopped moving, Lu Yu struggled to wipe the black mucus off his face and looked up.
What caught the eye was a gaping mouth, and the fishy smell was still there.
Looking inside, a brown arrow ran across the mouth. Judging from the wounds on both sides, it should be the source of black mucus.
"This monster seems to be dead..."
After remaining vigilant for more than ten seconds, Lu Yu finally frowned and said with confusion.
"Did you do something?"
Xiao Ran, who was next to him, also stepped forward with a crossbow in hand and asked.
It's just that the girl is far more vigilant than Lu Yu. Although she is constantly approaching, the crossbow's crosshair has not left the monster even half an inch.
"No...I didn't do anything, I just controlled it as much as possible so that you could attack..."
Hearing Xiao Ran's answer, Lu Yu's face became more confused. Could it be that Xiao Ran's last blow killed the mutated zombies, so what happened just now...
