Barrett Walker looked at the sudden change in the sniper scope and realized that he had saved them once again, as long as he had not been exposed. "Let's make a deal! Hand over the girl, and I will spare your life," the thin old man said perceptively, observing the pain that flashed across Hans Hunter's face. "You're quite the businessman. Instead of being a walking corpse, why not be a real person?" Hans Hunter sneered.
"I am never ashamed of being an intelligent walking corpse. On the contrary, it is because of my intelligence that I have survived until now and become the leader of ten thousand walking corpses!" the thin old man declared proudly. As he raised his hands high and basked in the direct sunlight, the intense ultraviolet rays reflected off his thin, crystallized skin, creating a faint sparkle. With a shout, the forest was quickly filled with the terrifying roars of the walking corpses.
"Has anyone ever told you that your voice is very unpleasant?" Barrett Walker couldn't help but sneer.
"Your skin has crystallized, its hardness comparable to alloy. How did you do that?" Hunter asked as the thin old man's shout was met with a chorus of responses from the true dark army of walking corpses, rapidly surging towards the ancient temple. This did not change Hans Hunter's expression, but the skin that shimmered like crystal made him pale. If this leader of the dark walking corpses were to be hunted by the federation, its research value would surpass that of a humanoid creature.
"Haha! Didn't expect this, did you? Come and join the dark walking corpses! Hand over the girl, and I will grant you the same beautiful skin, impervious to water and fire, and even immortality!" the thin old man chuckled triumphantly.
"Hmph! You won't even have descendants, just a walking corpse. What's the difference between you and a machine?" Hans Hunter mocked loudly.
"Are we machines? Besides giving birth, what can't we do? Haha! You can play with as many women as you want, but in the wild, we are the kings. We can have as many as we desire!" the thin old man approached Hans Hunter, clearly not interested in further conversation. As he looked at Julia Menard, who had only revealed her face from inside the armored vehicle, the thin old man seemed unable to avert his gaze. She was a hundred times more beautiful in person than in the drawings.
"Look at my wife, and you're dead!" Barrett Walker was just waiting for the opportunity! Although the specific level of this old man was unknown, as long as Barrett Walker found an opportunity, he would not hesitate to pull the trigger.
"Hmph! I'm waiting for you!" Although Julia Menard had captivated the old man, he saw even the most beautiful woman as nothing more than his source of vitality. Suddenly, he turned around, and a long, narrow knife appeared in his hand. With a clinking sound, the thin old man disappeared instantly, swiftly heading towards the ancient temple.
"Have I been exposed?" Barrett Walker was scared, almost turning and fleeing. However, the hardships of the first three years of his rebirth had taught him a lot. He knew he must not act rashly during crucial moments. He was certain that he had not revealed any flaws. He lay quietly, slowing his breathing and heartbeat, restraining his gaze.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Indeed, experience was the most valuable thing. The old man's deception had not succeeded, and as Barrett Walker looked around the dense forest, it was eerily quiet, as if devoid of any human presence. With a swing of his long knife, a giant tree in front of him collapsed, its smooth cut rings telling the tale of its resilience. Barrett Walker breathed a sigh of relief. This was the advantage of rebirth! Despite his weak physical condition, he couldn't be fooled by such tricks. He lay quietly, still not daring to be careless.
"Kill them all, and I don't believe you'll be a coward for the rest of your life!" The thin old man no longer wanted to expend effort searching for the hidden sniper. Although this person posed a threat to those above the rank of general, the thin old man believed that if the sniper were to reappear, he would be crushed like an ant.
With the thin old man's command, countless dark walking corpses emerged from the deep forest outside the ancient temple. These dark walking corpses were no different from humans, except for their bloodthirsty, crazed eyes and their bodies that felt no pain.
Roar! Like wild animals, they charged, leaping three yards high. As the members of the Special Forces of the 2nd Division watched the approaching dark walking corpses, their faces betrayed their unique expression of accepting death. It seemed that this would be a battle with no survivors. With no bullets left, they drew their military knives and fiercely swung them, the sound of the blades slicing through the air filling them with excitement. Even if they died in battle, they could do so without regrets!
"Are you going to help? So many dark walking corpses and zombies!" "Although our mission is to seize the woman from these soldiers, I am still a human being and an honorable hunter!" "Brothers, kill! Killing dark walking corpses is the true honor of us hunters, charge!" A hunter in camouflage finally stood up, roaring and charging down with a shotgun, reaching the rank of major. After firing the shotgun, he used a powerful combat knife, leaving bloodied marks on the throats of the low-level dark walking corpses.
"In the name of the hunters, we fight for humanity, kill the walking corpses!" Someone led the charge and shouted the names of the hunters, the most powerful stimulant. One by one, they emerged, despite the disorganized organization of the hunters and their generally low ranks, they still had their own fervor.
The deafening howls quickly drowned out the roars of the dark walking corpses, indicating that this time, the disorganized hunters had won over the organized dark walking corpses.
"Hmph! A bunch of ragtag fighters dare to be so arrogant!" The thin old man paid no attention to the hunters' shouts. In his eyes, anyone below the rank of general was nothing but ants, all of whom could be annihilated. Although there were many hunters, they were insignificant in his eyes.
"Make way!" Although the thin old man had reached the peak of the rank of lieutenant general, he had never encountered a federation general and did not know what cards the federation had given these generals. Therefore, he did not dare to push Hans Hunter too hard.
"Hmph! If I engage you and the hidden sniper, what chance do you have?" Hans Hunter had never thought that he would rely on someone with a lower rank to save his life. However, he had to admit that he was impressed by the hidden sniper. Therefore, he did not feel any embarrassment in saying such words to an arrogant general.
"Is that so? Can he keep up with my speed?" With that, the thin old man and the black tower-like black man started simultaneously, charging towards the armored vehicle from both sides.
Bang! Bang! Two gunshots reverberated, shaking the entire ancient temple. This person was becoming increasingly audacious! He dared to simultaneously snipe two generals. However, with Hans Hunter standing in the middle, the shots did not hit them, but they made the two generals hesitant to advance.
