XG 171 - Don't look into her eyes

"Aim for the zombie's head and see if it works. If they are really controlled by that female zombie, we will need to deal with her first," Kang Xunsu said.

His word was quickly passed to the other people, and they tested whether aiming at their brains actually worked. But the zombies' brain was protected by their thick skull, which became even more sturdy after being enhanced by the gene. They would need to hit harder to break the skull.

Suddenly, they miss the zombies' hearts. At least there was space between the rib cage for them to hit their heart, but the skull had no openings at all for them to slip past for their brain!

Anyway, they had no choice but to adjust to the new situation.

It was unavoidable that there were still some hiccups in between. They figured out that targeting the slow-moving zombie's head worked. But as they were already used to targeting hearts, they often slipped up and hit the empty chest.

Not everyone was fast enough to catch onto their mistake, but luckily the zombies' slow speed allowed them to save their own meat.

The one that kill the slow-moving zombies the quickest was Do Eunhyuk, who would generously shoot three bullets to the same spot to break a zombie's skull and one bullet to their brain. But Do Eunhyuk started to feel his hand cramping for shooting way longer than he used to. Missing a hand also reduced the accuracy and shooting time even if he does not need to reload.

"Little princess, you get those zombies with hearts, and leave the rest to us," Kang Xunsu told Wong Xue Guo.

She doubted there was still any with how fierce the fire was, but since using her shadow to check does not hurt, she agreed.

"Are there now different variants of zombies? Will there be flying zombies later?" A guard looked worried.

"Oi, don't say such a thing. What if it really happens?" His friend scolded him.

"But it's still better to think of that, expect it and not get overly surprised if that happens."

"Okay, just shut your mouth and continue defending our base. Don't suddenly change your job to fortune telling."

With the zombies' slow speed, some guards dared to slip further away from the gate and approach closer to kill them.

"Don't make any mistake that their bite is any less contagious!" The captain of the watch guards yelled.

"We know!" A guy with a napkin covering the lower half of his face yelled back confidently. It truly boosted his confidence in his ability when he easily brought down the slow-moving zombies with his chopper knife that he had always used during his chicken butchering days.

While some may argue that aiming the brain was harder than the heart, he supported the former. He does not need to care which spot he stabs, for as long as he used enough strength to repeatedly attack the same spot, he would definitely make the kill.

But he did not deny the time used to break the skull exposed him to danger. In his viewpoint, the types of zombies were made fairly, where their strengths and weakness were evenly distributed.

He was slowly getting used to this new method of attacking when suddenly, a neatly dressed female zombie was just before him. The black lace veil did not cover her face, and he easily saw her dry face that was a little better looking than the zombies that had decomposed rather quickly.

Immediately recognizing it was the leader of the zombies, he was delighted. He would be the one to finish the leader! He quickly raised his chopper knife and aimed at her skull, only for the zombie to move away right before the attack landed. His knife sunk deep into her shoulder, and unlike the other zombies' soggy flesh, the female zombie was harder and dry like a thick piece of jerky meat.
