While Chu Han was bargaining with Wangcai, the domineering phase-3 zombie had been unleashing frenzied attacks. The sounds from their clash were becoming fiercer and louder, while parts from the deck flew everywhere. Even the whole vessel was shaking violently from the impact.
Chu Han could only brace himself and either defend against the vicious attacks or retreat. To his misfortune, the deck's space was limited, so he'd soon be cornered if thing kept like this.
The others were extremely worried about Chu Han, but they didn't know how to be of help.
The enraged zombie was getting crazier the longer its attacks didn't hurt Chu Han. The pain from its bleeding neck and ear was so intense that it wanted to tear Chu Han apart.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, the furious zombie opened its large mouth, extending to its ears, and tried to bite Chu Han! It could easily reach Chu Han's head due to their huge height difference. If its terrifying fangs could trap Chu Han's neck, he'd be decapitated in a matter of seconds.
At the same time, it also struck with its sharp claws. The zombie ignored the huge axe in Chu Han's hand and directly attacked with its sharp fangs and claws. It only wanted to kill Chu Han no matter the cost.
If Chu Han couldn't block one of the attacks, he'd certainly die. However, he could only defend against only one of the spontaneous attacks. Should Chu Han block its fangs or claw!? Or choose the option of retreat, which would trap him in the corner like a mouse!?
"Ah--"
Wei An, the only one girl, could not help screaming. She closed her eyes in fear. She couldn't imagine, and didn't want to see, Chu Han, falling under one of the zombie's attacks in the next second!
"Chu Han!" The rest of them were shocked and screamed worriedly.
Especially Wang Shixiong, whose attitude to Chu Han had changed from dissatisfaction to admiration. The kind doctor's eyes were bloodshot, while sadness and despair took over his heart. At that moment, he felt like he had returned to the beginning of the apocalypse when his wife and daughter turned into zombies. He felt despair and helplessness seeing his family like that.
Chu Han's predicament made the doctor angry and unwilling. Why was he, Wang Shixiong, incapable of helping and just looked at him fighting an unjust battle!?
He was unwilling! He hated himself!
Zhon Chunlei and Zhan Guangyuan were about the same age with Chu Han, and their feelings were not that clear as Wang Shixiong. They just knew that the battle would come to an end soon, and they were immersed in negative feelings such as sadness, dejection, anger, and worry. And top of them, despair which was as heavy as a mountain. They once again felt how cruel the apocalypse really was!
Even the mighty Chu Han was about to fall. What should weaker people like them do?
Humanity would come to its end.
Li Yi's messy hair covered his bloodshot eyes. Although he was fierce as a wolf, he was also angry and unwilling to accept the outcome. But he had no choice, it was too late for him to go and block one of the zombie's attacks. He was not as fast and determined as Chu Han.
The phase-1 evolutionary thought he was as weak as a puny ant, both physically and mentally. At that moment, he wanted to discard his pride as a phase-1 evolutionary and smash his head on the floor to ventilate.
Everyone just watched with deathly pale expressions Chu Han having no way to defend against the zombie's mouth in despair.
While at that moment-
'Bang!'
Chu Han, unexpectedly, kicked the zombie's body!
The zombie was not afraid of Chu Han's kick, as he had already kicked it several times with no effect. It was the same this time. Even though the kick could make it feel pain, it was bearable. It didn't care about the incoming kick as it was dead-set on killing Chu Han. It ignored it and continued its attacks.
There was only one centimeter separating the zombie's sharp fangs and claws from Chu Han's face, but something happened right then-
'BOOM'
A loud clashing sound came, followed by the sound of bones shattering. And then, the zombie fell on the floor! But before it landed, Chu Han caught it from the wrist and kicked at it again! It flew backward, in a parabola form, and heavily crashed on the floor.
'Bang!'
The phase-3 zombie landed so heavily that it made the ferry shake! A wave of dust came from the deck's surface.
The sudden reversal shocked the others so much that their worried expressions were stuck on their faces. Worry and reddened eyes were painted on everyone's faces, but their brains were frozen; it was like they were brain-dead!
What's happening? Chu Han kicked off the zombie?
Sent it flying!
However, while everyone's expressions had yet to change to that of excitement and happiness, and before the zombie could feel the pain coming from its wrist-
A black shadow, or better say, Chu Han, burst forward to follow up after the kick. When the zombie fell, he had already planned to chase after it.
His style was- keep fighting and give it no chance to counterattack!
The phase-2 strength gave a great surprise to Chu Han, and thus he was able to reverse the situation. Chu Han raised the glistering Shura axe to chop down the zombie with his strength as well as accuracy, which had reached their peak.
'Splash!'
The Shura axe struck the phase-3 zombie which had yet to come to its senses!
With a swift move, the zombie's head was cut in two! Soon after, the deck was filled with thick dark blood mixed with parts of its brain.
Chu Han tried to catch his breath while still holding the axe tightly. He had killed the zombie before it even felt pain.
The others were flabbergasted!
The reversal was too sudden. At one moment, Chu Han's head was going to become the zombie's food, and the other moment, not only Chu Han counterattacked, he even killed it swiftly. In their minds, Chu Han was a monster!
