Chapter 66: 57 Chapter Professional_2
The Corpse Kingâs situation can be assessed, and actions can be determined based on the specifics.
âWeâve come this time for that special meteorite, our company wants to create a weapon that can quickly clear out zombies.â
Tao Yu planned to get his hands on something first, having spent so much time, there should at least be some sort of gain, right?
But after hearing what Tao Yu said, the expressions on the faces of the others were a bit awkward
âAbout that, the meteorite is located behind the third isolation door. If we had that thing, we would have blown it out with a fragment earlierâŚâ
Upon hearing this, Tao Yu paused briefly, then said in a deep voice
âŚ
âThe Corpse King has already started moving, it didnât smash the meteorite, did it?â
If that thing really exploded, wouldnât I directly spiral to heaven right here?
âNo, no, itâs well taken care of, and a special shock-proof box was specifically made for it. Ordinary handling wonât cause issues, plus that Corpse King doesnât move around much on its own unless itâs disturbed from the outside.â
After hearing this, Tao Yu pondered for a moment. He could now choose to go back and just report the mission completed as the information gained was definitely substantial, but he still wanted to give it a try himself!
Apart from the rising cost of Yuan Force as his strength increased, the next step Tao Yu wanted to start, which was the secondary enhancement of some skills, was also a money pit.
The secondary consumption of [Basic Breathing Technique â Modified] was almost thirty thousand Yuan Force, [Bullet Time] was in the hundreds of thousands, [Five Forms as One] in the two hundred thousands!
With such a shortfall, he could only take on a big job.

âTake me over there to observe, Iâll see if I can deal with that Corpse King.â
The words of Tao Yu made the groupâs faces change, and then they earnestly tried to dissuade him
âPlease donât, can you see why we have so few people here, and why thereâs hardly any combat staff? Besides those who broke through later, most died in that thingâs rampage. Firearms have a limited effect on it!â
âEven a shot to the head is useless?â
âProbably useless, I remember its skull is extremely tough, maybe a bit, but it requires a lot of shots.â
Recalling some of the data from the research, the researcher said uncertainly and then added
âWeâve never seen anyone else fighting it. The area is a classified zone with a separate surveillance room. We could only hear lots of gunfire, then everyone died, and after that, we closed the isolation door.â
As she said this, her gaze seemed a bit distracted, perhaps there were people who were not dead yet, but they had prematurely cut off othersâ lifelines.
âIs there a ventilation duct nearby?â
Tao Yu was also considering an escape route.
âYes, but donât worry, it canât get through that.â
âFirst take me to see it, Iâll decide based on the situation.â
âAlrightâŚâ
The researcher was somewhat helpless and then quietly walked off in a direction, barefoot. Meanwhile, Tao Yu said to Jack
âItâs enough for me to take a look, you know, I have some special abilities.â
Tao Yuâs words made Jack nod. He had asked several times how Tao Yu got into Cao Shaolinâs room, and although he didnât get an answer, now he wondered if the ventilation duct could be a way to evacuate.
After carefully observing the size of the ventilation duct, Tao Yu also felt more assured.
âIâll try going in to take a look, if it doesnât work, Iâll pull out.â
âNo, no, itâs very fast, and the protective doors might not close in time.â
The survivors from the laboratory were all shaking their heads vigorously.
âYou donât need to open the door for me, I have a way to get in. Give me some more related information so I can understand the situation better.â
Hearing Tao Yu say this, everyone looked at each other, and then it was the female researcher who stepped forward to speak
âAfter we got here, we have been keeping it soaked in liquid nitrogen to preserve it. When we tested the bone strength during research, we found it was comparable to steel, especially the skull. Ordinary bullets probably canât penetrate it, though maybe they could enter through the eyes.â
As the researcher spoke up to this point, she looked at Tao Yuâs reaction and then paused briefly before continuing
âMoreover, the flesh of the Corpse King is also quite tough, serving as high-quality cushioning, and its resistance to all kinds of physical damage is very strong.â
Tao Yu pondered upon hearing the words.
Bones as hard as steel? Even the Warlordâs Standard-issue Pistol might have a hard time penetrating that.
However, my Basic Shooting â Modified is really accurate when aiming for the eye sockets, and if it really comes down to it, using the Giant Lizardâs Fang in combination with the strike that harnesses Shadow Force when coming out of invisibility should be able to cut through the neck.
If worst comes to worst, I could always use Yuan Force to recover and retreat.
With a fresh deposit of seven thousand Yuan Force funds, Tao Yu felt it might be worth giving it a try.
âOkay, I understand, Iâll go give it a try, and I wonât overdo it,â Tao Yu assured.
âOnce you try, thereâs no coming back! That thing is the source of the apocalypse!â
The few who were still hoping that Tao Yu and Jack could lead them to safety continued to plead.
At worst, even if they just stayed here, having two individuals with off-the-charts combat abilities gave them a sense of security. Why the rush to court death?
âLetâs just say it still counts as a zombie,â Tao Yu said with a slight smile.
âIt doesâŚâ
âThen thereâs no problem. When it comes to dealing with zombies, Iâm a professional.â
Tao Yu checked his equipment and, after trying on the new suit, loaded his ammunition, set down his backpack, and prepared to enter the fray unencumbered.
Besides that, he took out two Qi Replenishing Pills and held them in his mouth.
If I can avoid using Yuan Force for recovery, I willâitâs just not cost-effective.
âDonât be afraid, this is my special ability,â Tao Yu reassured them.
He reminded them not to scream in shock, and the next moment, Tao Yu disappeared into the shadows in the dim laboratory as if he were smoke spreading out in a watercolor painting when touched by water, vanishing from everyoneâs sight!
This prompted exclamations of awe from everyone.
For sure, evolution left us behind!
But if itâs him, maybe he really could solve this problemâŚ
âŚ
Tao Yu moved directly into the ventilation duct from the world of fragmented shadows, the reflections around him receding rapidly as his speed surged.
Accompanied by massive stamina consumption and the chewing and absorption of the Qi Replenishing Pills, the next moment he was on the other side of the metal door through that ventilation duct.
Cao Shaolin, with his high Spirit Perception, was aware of his own normal state, but a mere zombieâŚ
When Tao Yu emerged from the ventilation duct and saw the figure with fangs, spiked armor, arms held straight out, and wearing an official Qing Dynasty robe beginning to turn its head, even he was close to cursing his mother. Isnât that the test subject?
Whatâs with these clothes!? Was it included at capture, or is this your sick sense of humor?
What zombie? What Corpse King?
Havenât you ever seen a zombie movie?
Why is it a zombie!!
This is Uncle Jiâs territory!
Why not just bring out Arthas for good measure?
Seeing the place littered with desiccated corpses of laboratory personnel, Tao Yuâs heart was tingling with trepidation, this was a zombie that had already fed on human blood.
But as he synced into Bullet Time and realized the zombie was just sniffing around without pinpointing his location, Tao Yu did not flee right away.
âShadow Evasion doesnât leave a scent; is it tracking âlife forceâ?â
Now that Iâm here, might as well give it a tryâŚ
