The high-explosive grenade spun in the air, and the white smoke swirled like a rotating windmill. The skeletal zombie slowly lifted its head, its hollow eyes curious as it stared at the grenade.
Then, in the next second, "Boom!" A deafening explosion instantly resounded! The intense blast shook the entire abandoned factory, causing the discarded lathe to tremble violently, raising layers of dust. Duane quickly took cover behind an iron rack, attempting to avoid the powerful shockwave.
After a moment, the abandoned factory returned to silence, and the smell of gunpowder in the air gradually dissipated, leaving only a faint white smoke floating in the air.
"Is it resolved?" Duane cautiously poked his head out from behind the iron rack, gazing intently. At the same time, David was also looking, his face displaying a relaxed expression as the dense fog slowly dissipated. He was well aware of the power of the high-explosive grenade, which would undoubtedly cause significant damage to the zombie.
Just then, a deep growl emanated from within the smoke. "Roar! Roar!" Duane was instantly startled. Following that, the skeletal zombie slowly emerged from the smoke. However, this time, one of its arms had been blown off by the high-explosive grenade, and only half of its skull remained, while its ribcage had been almost completely shattered, leaving behind only bone fragments.
Duane couldn't help but gasp in disbelief. He never expected this creature to possess such tenacious vitality. It had been directly hit by a high-explosive grenade, yet it was still able to survive.
Meanwhile, David merely raised an eyebrow, seemingly thinking that the high-explosive grenade had forced the skeletal zombie to reveal its true strength. When facing other zombies, as soon as the high-explosive grenade appeared, the battle would immediately end. Who would have thought that the skeletal zombie could withstand it?
Following the principle of seizing the opportunity, David decisively drew his spatial blade and charged towards the skeletal zombie. He knew that the current zombie's strength should have significantly declined compared to before. However, as soon as he approached the zombie, he made an unexpected discovery.
The skeletal zombie seemed to have undergone a mutation during the explosion. Its bones were covered with a protective layer, emitting a metallic glow when seen up close. Moreover, its aura had become particularly domineering, completely different from before.
"Indeed, it has become stronger." David became slightly more interested and swung his spatial blade at it without hesitation. A crisp collision instantly reverberated throughout the abandoned factory.
David's strike landed forcefully on the skeletal zombie's neck, but it didn't seem to have much effect, only creating a shower of sparks.
"The defense is so formidable!" Duane couldn't help but exclaim. Meanwhile, the skeletal zombie began to move once again. It grabbed hold of David's spatial blade and forcefully flung him into the air. David floated in mid-air as the zombie let out a "hehe" laugh. Then, with a powerful push from its legs, the zombie charged towards David in mid-air.
"Oh no!" Duane inwardly cursed upon seeing the situation and quickly wanted to rush up to help. However, David remained calm and slowly opened a spatial portal. Just as the skeletal zombie's fist was about to make contact with him, he disappeared in the air using the spatial portal.
After landing, David didn't hesitate and took out a Desert Eagle from the warehouse system. He fiercely pulled the trigger, firing the gun at the airborne skeletal zombie.
"Bang!" The sound of firing pins hitting echoed as 11.43mm bullets rained down on the skeletal zombie like a storm. However, these bullets, upon impact with the zombie, only created dazzling sparks before being deflected in various directions.
However, at the same time, David also discovered some weaknesses in the skeletal zombie. He noticed that although the entire skeletal structure of the zombie was covered in a metallic shield, there were still some exposed areas. When the bullets hit these parts, they instantly shattered the bones, causing the zombie to twist in pain.
"It's time to end this," David said softly. While the skeletal zombie was still in mid-air, he said to Duane, who was nearby, "I'll leave the metal shield on its body to you." He said this because David knew that Duane awakened the ability to manipulate metal, allowing him to produce a series of reactions with metal.
Upon hearing David's words, Duane immediately stepped out from behind the iron rack and looked at the skeletal zombie in the air, a faint smile appearing on his lips. In today's battle, he had only used his treasure trove, and he hadn't fully demonstrated his metal manipulation ability to David yet. He knew he couldn't hide it any longer. He raised his right hand and made a strange gesture toward the body of the skeletal zombie.
Suddenly, Duane shouted out loudly! Immediately, David saw a white smoke billowing up from the skeletal zombie's body. Then, black liquid quickly flowed out from its skeletal frame. It was evident that Duane had used his ability to melt the metal shield on its body.
Seeing this, David didn't hesitate. He directly took out a heavy machine gun from the warehouse system and aimed it at the now defenseless zombie. He decisively pulled the trigger!
"Da-da-da!" The heavy machine gun spewed blue flames, and bullets rained down upon the skeletal zombie like a storm.
The skeletal zombie instantly let out a painful howl. Its entire body writhed violently, and its bones began to shatter and fall apart under the barrage of bullets.
Watching David wielding the heavy machine gun with a fierce expression, Duane's mouth hung open in shock. First, the high-explosive grenade, then the Desert Eagle, and now he pulled out a heavy machine gun? Wasn't this guy a walking arsenal?
Duane was dumbfounded by David's audacity. The heavy machine gun continued to pour out bullets, each one accurately hitting the zombie's body. In no time, the heavy machine gun emptied its magazine of a thousand rounds. Setting down the heavy machine gun, David looked up at the skeletal zombie. Its body showed no signs of movement anymore, and it quickly fell from mid-air with a "boom," its fragmented bones scattering all over the ground.
David approached the skeletal zombie and found that it had already lost any signs of life. It was clearly dead. At this moment, Duane also arrived by its side, shaking his head slightly as he looked at the mangled corpse.
