Chapter 17: The Method to Deal With Hunters, Sticky Bomb!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Seeing this, Johnson’s expression turned grave.

Zombies were all walking corpses without any thought processes of their own. All their actions relied on their bodily instincts. Although the brain controlled all the nerves in the body, it didn’t know how to think and plan.

But to smile was something that could only be done with a thought.

Clearly, that short zombie had the intelligence similar to that of a human!

This was definitely not good news for Johnson.

Just as he was about to shoot the short zombie, he heard Monica exclaim,

“That… is a Hunter [1. Hunters are a sort of special zombie in the game Left 4 Dead.]!”

Johnson heard her exclamation, and immediately asked further while he continued to shoot.

“You know about it?”

At the same time, electromagnetic bullets poured out from the muzzle of the electromagnetic gun towards the Hunter.

The Electromagnetic Machine Gun’s bullets were already extremely fast, but the Hunter relied on its inhumanely fast reaction speed to avoid them. Its four limbs exerted strength at the same time as it bounced back and forth on the walls of several skyscrapers around them.

The speed of the bullets were fast, but they could not harm the Hunter at all.

Unless Johnson could predict where the Hunter would jump the next moment, there was no use of having such a rapid speed for the bullets.

Monica, who was beside her, was slightly stunned when she saw this scene. However, when she saw that it was similarly difficult for the Hunter to get close to them under such a dense barrage, she then reacted and hurriedly blurted out.

“I’ve heard of it. It’s short and fast, and it seems to be smarter than other zombies.”

Johnson listened to Monica, but his eyes were glued to the figure of the Hunter.

“Know if it has any weaknesses?”

“I… I don’t know.” Monica stuttered.

Johnson wasn’t disappointed even though her answer was redundant.

After all, in this world, humans would never take the initiative to fight zombies unless they had no other choice.

And when there was no other choice, they would usually already be at their wits’ end. They wouldn’t be able to deal with the zombies at all.

Thus, it was normal for them to not know the weakness of such mutated zombies.

Johnson continued to fire at the Hunter, but his efforts did not produce any results. None of the bullets hit the Hunter, and he could only barely keep it from getting close.

However, although they managed to prevent the Hunter from advancing, the ordinary zombies in front of them didn’t stop.

Because the Hunter focused on jumping around the buildings, this caused Johnson to have no time to attack the zombies walking on the ground.

This resulted in the zombie horde getting ever so closer to them!

Monica soon discovered this matter. She said in a panic,

“Those ordinary zombies are coming!”

Johnson narrowed his eyes, but his reply was as calm as ever.

“I know.”

If Monica could use the electromagnetic pistol well, she might be able to slightly fend off these ordinary zombies.

Unfortunately, it was obvious from her previous display that placing all their hopes on this woman was no different than courting death.

At the moment, she could only act as an object to satisfy one’s desires. It was best not to count on her for anything else.

Thinking of this, he decided that he had to rely on himself this time round.

He checked his current points balance.

A total of 658 points.

Johnson had a plan after seeing the numbers.

His hands were still sweeping across the air, aiming at the Hunter. He slowly moved backward, trying to keep a distance from the ordinary zombies in front of him.

At the same time, his consciousness was browsing the system shop.

Given the current situation, it was obviously too late to buy any blueprints. There was no time for him to make any equipment.

Thus, he could only look at the ready-made products!

However, the price of the finished products were twice that of their corresponding blueprints!

Johnson would rather buy the blueprint if he was not in such a pressing scenario.

One only needed to spend half of the points to purchase the blueprint, which was equivalent to having learnt this skill as well.

In the future, he would be able to create many similar items without spending any points. All he needed to do was collect materials.

But buying the finished product was not worth it.

It would be fine if it was a tool similar to a mini purification device. It could still be continuously used .

However, for consumables…..

It could only be used once.

It was truly a waste, but he had no choice. He needed such an item now.

‘Purchase [Sticky Bomb]!’

His points instantly decreased by 400 points, leaving him with 258 points.

Johnson had seen this item before, but he didn’t choose to buy it. Instead, he chose the electromagnetic machine gun.

After all, electromagnetic weapons had a huge advantage, and that was that they did not need to replenish their ammunition.

Weapons of these characteristics could save Johnson a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The reality showed that only because Johnson had bought the Electromagnetic Machine Gun was he able to kill so many zombies and earn so many points. Otherwise, he would have been a corpse by now.

After buying the sticky bomb, Johnson immediately took it out of his Backpack.

The appearance of this sticky bomb looked very ordinary, and one could not even relate it to the word “bomb”.

Its appearance resembled a toy ball.

But Johnson knew very well that its effect was not as simple as it seemed.

Without any hesitation, Johnson immediately threw out the sticky bomb.

Hunter saw what Johnson was doing and immediately reacted — bouncing off the wall, intending to jump onto the wall opposite it.

However, the sticky bomb instead landed on the pile of zombie corpses, and a loud bang was heard.

A large number of jelly-like solids flew out from the sticky bombs in all directions!
