Zhongyuan City is considered a third-tier city when it comes to calculations.
The city has gained popularity among tourists and patients due to a renowned mental institution and a few special attractions. As a result, the economic level of the city has significantly improved over the years.
However, one of the common issues in third-tier cities like Zhongyuan is the existence of villages within the city.
This is an issue unrelated to policy, one that can only be resolved by spending money.
In the nearest village within the city closest to the mental institution.
"Still running?"
Zhang Fan smiled warmly as he approached the pseudo Zhou Jin in front of him.
Compared to the real Zhou Jin, this fake one is of no interest at all.
Not only was her ability uninteresting, but the smell emanating from her body was not as pleasant as Zhou Jin's.
But as a dessert before the main course, it's still passable!
"Are you really a zombie?"
Ning Meng had never expected that a seemingly ordinary zombie could possess such incredible strength and speed.
Ning Meng had seen zombies before, and even quite a few advanced ones.
In Ning Meng's understanding, the racial trait of zombies should be absurd defense, not absurd strength and speed.
Who the hell is Zhang Fan and what's his background?!
No wonder he has become a trouble for Sister Jin.
"Of course, it's an exact copy!"
Zhang Fan grinned, revealing his two long and pointed fangs that are standard for a zombie.
"What about your speed, and those talismans..."
Ning Meng couldn't help but ask further.
Initially, when she ran into the talisman formation, her mind had pondered whether these talismans would easily subdue Zhang Fan.
But when she saw Zhang Fan effortlessly breaking through the entire talisman formation as if he were in unoccupied territory, Ning Meng realized she had misjudged.
Zhang Fan, this zombie, is definitely not a simple existence!
However, Ning Meng's imagination is still lacking.
Zhang Fan isn't just complex; he's something that can only be described as absurd.
As a low-level zombie, not only does he not have the limitation of mobility, but his force is even comparable to advanced zombies.
Adding to that, he possesses a body of bronze skin and iron bones.
Ning Meng now seriously doubts that even with the arrival of Director Lu and Deputy Director Pang, they might not be a match for this zombie.
"Alright, alright, you're a dying person, what do you know? Let's not waste time. I'm here!"
Zhang Fan had no desire to explain further to Ning Meng, so he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips before slowly walking towards her.
"Good opportunity, time to die for the old man!"
Just as Zhang Fan took less than five steps, Pang Long's roar echoed, followed by a giant descending from the sky and smashing towards Zhang Fan's position.
Just as Zhang Fan was about to take a step back, a fierce hot wave suddenly hit him from behind.
Although fire is not one hundred percent effective against zombies, it is more than enough to deal with a low-level zombie like Zhang Fan, for Lu Jiannian's fire would suffice!
On one side, there is Pang Long descending from the sky, and on the other side, there is a fierce fire.
Under double surround attack, Zhang Fan remained indifferent and calm. All he did was shift his body slightly to the side, easily neutralizing the combined pressure from Pang Long and Lu Jiannian.
However, Pang Long and Lu Jiannian didn't expect to succeed with just one attack. Their purpose was simply to ensure Ning Meng's safety.
"I'll take the lead!"
After landing, Pang Long stirred up a cloud of dust, and he delivered a powerful punch towards Zhang Fan without hesitation.
"Are you alright? Sorry, we're late."
Lu Jiannian, however, came to Ning Meng's side and first checked her physical condition. Seeing that she had indeed not been harmed by Zhang Fan, he let out a sigh of relief.
"I've worried the director, but I'm fine!"
Ning Meng also breathed a sigh of relief.
She really thought that she was going to have to die here.
"Alright, if you're fine, go hide to the side. Once we catch this zombie, the mission will be completed."
Lu Jiannian nodded to Ning Meng and was about to turn around to join Pang Long and the zombie in battle.
"Wait a minute, Director Lu, this zombie species is completely different from the ones we've encountered before. Be careful."
"His body is extremely hard, and his attack power and speed are no worse than that of an ordinary person. He's an anomaly among zombies!"
Ning Meng watched as Lu Jiannian was about to intervene and quickly shouted a warning behind him.
"Alright, thank you for your information! You've worked hard!"
Lu Jiannian waved his hand to show that he understood, and continued moving towards Zhang Fan's direction.
Seeing that Lu Jiannian had heard her warning, Ning Meng looked around and then chose a narrow path to leave.
As she had already completed her mission, Ning Meng knew that the rest would be left to Lu Jiannian and Pang Long.
Bang!
Pang Long, in his giant form, clashed with Zhang Fan in a full-force punch.
The two were evenly matched, and the force of their impact sent a cloud of debris flying from their feet.
"The power is comparable to that of Pang Long, he truly stands out!"
Lu Jiannian had thought that the strength Ning Meng mentioned was only a little more than that of an ordinary person, but he didn't expect it to be this powerful, capable of standing against Pang Long in his giant form!
"If his strength has reached such a level, then what about his speed..."
Before Lu Jiannian could analyze Zhang Fan's speed, Zhang Fan took the opportunity to showcase his capabilities.
Zhang Fan suddenly began to run around Pang Long.
In front of the giant Pang Long, Zhang Fan was like a jumping monkey, no matter how hard Pang Long tried to catch him, he could only grab his sleeves but never managed to get a hold of his clothes.
On the contrary, while Zhang Fan was circling, he also occasionally took a few swipes at Pang Long. This scene looked like Zhang Fan was playing a game of cat and mouse with Pang Long, making him seem like an easy target.
"Old Lu, come and help me quickly! It hurts so much!"
Pang Long really didn't expect Zhang Fan's physical fitness to be exactly the same as his own.
He had activated his awakened ability.
What is it about this Zhang Fan that allows him to do that!
Just a low-level zombie, he should have been easily defeated by Pang Long with one punch, but how is Zhang Fan so strong?
Hearing Pang Long's cry for help, Zhang Fan only paused for a second to glance at the motionless Lu Jiannian, before resuming his attack by circling around Pang Long again.
Although Lu Jiannian heard Pang Long's call for help, at this moment, he did not have any desire to intervene.
Without finding the weakness of Zhang Fan, attacking him rashly would not only fail to save Pang Long but might even put oneself in danger.
"What's happening in Zhongyuan City? Where are all these monsters coming from?"
Lu Jiannian's eyebrows furrowed.
Recently, the strength of the caseants I've encountered has all been beyond my imagination.
They've far exceeded the capabilities of Zhongyuan City's Special Affairs Bureau to handle.
Even with Zhou Jin's help, there were times when it was questionable whether we could resolve them.
It was right then that Lu Jiannian was thinking about Zhou Jin.
Just as Ning Meng was leaving the village, she looked up and right into the arms of Zhou Jin who had just arrived.
Ning Meng hadn't had a chance to change out of her disguise yet, and she was caught red-handed by Zhou Jin.
"It's you!"
Zhou Jin gritted his teeth.
Ning Meng batting her eyes innocently.
