Chapter 1089: Chapter 438: Impenetrable Defense Chapter 1089: Chapter 438: Impenetrable Defense After the HP of the Dark Fog Zombie hit zero, the fog in the cave started to fade rapidly and then completely disappeared.

The light from outside shone through the ice, and although the sky was still quite dim, it was much brighter compared to the dark fog.

The remaining zombies were few, and although they were still in a berserk state, their attack power had significantly weakened after the disappearance of the dark fog.

“The dark fog is gone!”

“Is the Level 5 Lord Zombie dead?”

Qu Shilin exclaimed with surprise.

Besides Han Rui, no one knew the situation of Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue inside the fog. After all, it was a Level 5 Zombie Lord they were dealing with, and everyone was still somewhat worried.

“The Level 5 Lord Zombie is already dead.”

At this moment, Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue came running out of the cave together.

“Are you guys unhurt?”

Seeing that Wang Tao, Jiang Shixue, including Little Bing, were all uninjured, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With the few zombies that were left, with Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue’s entry, it only took half a minute for all the zombies in the cave to be dealt with by the group.

After quickly scavenging the battlefield, Wang Tao immediately said:
“It’s getting dark, let’s go and find a place to rest.”

Although he and Jiang Shixue had night vision, the others did not, and now, with both the storm and the frozen zombies, it was definitely better to be safe.

“Okay!”

The group immediately headed back, the path they had taken was already cleared of zombies, so their return was swift.

Just as they were about to reach where they had parked, Han Rui suddenly spoke up.

“Stop! There are zombies by the car!”

The group instantly became alert.

If they were just ordinary zombies, Han Rui definitely wouldn’t be so cautious.

“What kind of zombies?”

Hong Bin quickly asked.

“A Level 5 Lord Zombie!”

Han Rui quickly responded.

“Ah? Another Level 5 Lord?”

The group was somewhat shocked.

Typically, there would only be one lord in an area since lords usually control the other zombies, and having more than two lords would make the control chaotic.

Although Wang Tao had previously encountered a Level 4 Frozen Zombie Lord, considering the actions of both the Dark Fog Zombies and that Level 4 lord, Wang Tao felt that the Level 4 Frozen Zombie Lord must have ascended recently and was planning to move somewhere else.

Thus, Wang Tao thought there shouldn’t be any Zombie Lords nearby anymore, but unexpectedly, there was still one! And it was a Level 5!

“Where is it?”

Wang Tao immediately inquired.

“Right by… our car, it’s heading towards the car!”

Han Rui exclaimed softly.

“Damn!”

Hearing this, everyone cursed under their breath.

Although there was no one in the car, nobody could guarantee that the Level 5 Lord Zombie wouldn’t take an interest in the car. If the zombie damaged the car, they wouldn’t be able to return! Crystal Energy Cars had strong defenses, but they definitely couldn’t withstand a Level 5 Lord Zombie.

“We’ll split up; I’ll lure this zombie away, and you all head to the car! Little Xue, you lead them!”

Wang Tao would not allow his crystal energy car to be damaged.

Since it was getting dark and he didn’t know the power of this Level 5 Lord Zombie or how long a battle might last, it was safer to let Jiang Shixue lead.

“Yes!”

The group didn’t utter pretentious remarks like “I’ll lure the zombie,” as every second counted at that moment, and wasting even a second could mean the loss of their crystal energy cars!

Jiang Shixue led the others around from another side, while Wang Tao charged directly towards the position of the crystal energy car.

Moments later, Wang Tao saw the group of zombies in front of the crystal energy car.

There were a total of 11 zombies, 10 Level 5 Elite Zombies, and 1 Level 5 Lord Zombie!

These elite zombies were still frozen zombies, but Wang Tao had never seen this particular Zombie Lord before.

[HP: 300,000/300,000]
[Mana: 300,000/300,000]
[Grade: Level 5 – Lord]
[Awakening: Massive Impact]
[Massive Impact: Attack carries a shockwave]
This was a three-meter tall, muscular zombie clad in extra-large explosion-proof armor, holding a spherical big hammer in its hand. No, not holding, rather the big hammer was fused to its hand!

Wang Tao felt it resembled an evolved version of the Big Hammer Zombie, but its strength was definitely much more formidable!

Especially with its awakening, this must be a passive that constantly adds shockwaves, right?

Shockwave was an active ability, consuming mana and having a cooldown period. If turned passive, it could continuously release shockwaves?

Moreover, the most important part was that the shockwaves it released would definitely be much stronger than those of the Big Hammer Zombie!

However, strong as this zombie was, Wang Tao still needed to lure it away, or it might just smash their crystal energy car with a single hammer strike.

Wang Tao chose a straightforward method to attract its attention; he simply pulled out his pistol and shot at it.

Bang!

The gunshot wasn’t very loud under the cover of the wind and snow, but it was enough noise for the zombie to hear. Moreover, the bullet squarely hit its head.

“Roar–”
The Lord Big Hammer Zombie immediately turned around and roared angrily at Wang Tao, then strode directly toward him. Its ten lackeys also snarled and charged at Wang Tao.

Watching the approaching zombies, Wang Tao did not immediately leave but took another shot at its neck with his pistol, where there was no armor protection.

[-0]
Wang Tao instantly furrowed his brows.
