Chapter 70

(With the word count of this book now exceeding 200,000, it's quite fat. Dear readers, you can start devouring it!!)

As blood gushed out like a fountain, Chu Nan broke free from the undead and found four more undead closing in from all sides, trying to trap him.

Chu Nan swept his golden right leg horizontally.

With a "bang, bang," two undead were kicked away, while the other two grabbed him. The bone-armored undead, like a vicious wolf, charged at him fiercely.

What made Chu Nan even more alarmed was the figure leaping from a distance, rapidly approaching, with long hair flying in the wind—it was the female undead with mutated hair.

Trouble.

The bone-armored undead and the female undead with mutated hair were both level 5 undead, while his own strength was gradually waning. Chu Nan knew the situation was dire.

The spider claw vibrated, finally activating the spider gene within, releasing spider silk.

"Spider Silk Release" was the inherent spider gene power of the spider claw. However, Chu Nan rarely used this move because the spider silk was not only as hard as steel but also highly adhesive. While it could trap enemies, it could also easily trap him, making it a double-edged sword.

That's why during the day, when Chu Nan fought the female undead with mutated hair, he didn't use this move.

Now, with the situation turning critical, Chu Nan finally used it. The spider silk shot out, connecting with the two undead that had grabbed him. He then violently swung them away.

These two undead, unable to hold onto him, were flung out.

The spider claw simultaneously blocked the bone knife of the bone-armored undead.

A piercing sound, sparks flying, Chu Nan staggered back. The bone-armored undead roared and kept charging, pinning Chu Nan down.

Chu Nan suddenly realized that the bone-armored undead was trying to hold him back so that the female undead with mutated hair could catch up.

The bone-armored undead couldn't kill Chu Nan alone, but it knew that only by teaming up with the female undead with mutated hair did they stand a chance.

Chu Nan knew the situation was dire, being pushed back by the bone-armored undead, unable to break free.

The female undead with mutated hair, like a demon, approached, her one-meter-long black hair flying like snakes.

Suddenly, the spider claw in Chu Nan's hand vibrated, and with a series of "swoosh" sounds, spider silk shot out, covering the bone-armored undead and its bone knife densely.

The bone-armored undead was startled and instinctively stopped. Chu Nan caught his breath, turned sharply, and the spider silk from the spider claw shot out in all directions.

The female undead with mutated hair, just five meters away, suddenly found spider silk shooting at her. She used her long black hair to block the incoming silk.

This was exactly what Chu Nan wanted. Instantly, the spider silk stuck to her flying black hair.

Feeling her hair stuck, the female undead realized the danger and pulled her hair, which in turn pulled the spider silk.

On the other side, the bone-armored undead roared terrifyingly, flailing its arms, trying to break the sticky spider silk.

Unbeknownst to them, through the spider claw, the bone-armored undead and the female undead were now connected.

At this moment, if Chu Nan abandoned the spider claw and fled, the bone-armored undead and the female undead would find it hard to catch up.

However, Chu Nan didn't want to give up the spider claw. Taking advantage of the spider silk that had them stuck, he used his golden right leg to strike the bone-armored undead's neck with full force.

With a "bang," the bone-armored undead let out a muffled groan. The bones in its neck made a terrifying sound, and its head was knocked to the side, its body crashing heavily to the ground.

The bone-armored undead roared terrifyingly, the ribs on its chest opening like a bloodthirsty mouth.

With a "boom," Chu Nan immediately stepped into the bone-armored undead's chest, which had opened like a bloodthirsty mouth.

The ribs contracted, trying to crush Chu Nan's right leg.

The golden power in Chu Nan's right leg erupted. With this step, a crisp sound was heard, and he crushed the bone-armored undead's spine.

The ribs, which had been contracting, suddenly stopped, trembling.

The female undead roared terrifyingly, her black hair flying, charging at Chu Nan.

From all sides, other undead and zombies rushed in.

The bone-armored undead, on the ground, with a fierce look in its eyes, struck the ground with its bone knives and legs, propelling itself up.

Chu Nan ignored the charging female undead and the other undead and zombies, instead gripping the spider claw tightly and swinging it down.

With a "swoosh," the spider claw sliced down the neck of the bone-armored undead, which had just jumped up.

The bones in its neck, already cracked by the golden power and not yet recovered, could not withstand the spider claw's strike. With a "swoosh," they snapped.

The bone-armored undead's eyes widened, and its head rolled to the side.

A surge of gene origin force flooded in. The gene origin force obtained from killing the bone-armored undead was immense, comparable to killing a hundred ordinary zombies.

Level 5 undead were indeed hard to kill, but the rewards were astonishing.

Almost at the moment the bone-armored undead was killed, the female undead charged in, her black hair flying, along with the sticky spider silk, hitting Chu Nan.

On the other side, two more undead struck Chu Nan heavily.

With a "boom," Chu Nan kicked one undead into the air, sending it flying far away.

The female undead's hair wrapped around Chu Nan's neck, and her hands followed, grabbing and trying to twist his neck.

In the moment of life and death, Chu Nan burst with his strongest power, his adrenaline surging, stimulating all his organs. His blood roared.

He released the sticky spider claw, extended his hands, and forcefully grabbed the female undead's hands, kicking her with his right leg.

The female undead, mirroring his action, also kicked Chu Nan.

Both kicked each other in the abdomen, letting out muffled groans. Chu Nan felt a sweet taste in his mouth, spitting out a jet of blood. With a "boom," both suddenly burst with strength, kicking each other again, flying backward.

After landing, Chu Nan spat out large amounts of blood, heavily injured.

The female undead, due to her post-death mutation, was also heavily injured but did not spit out blood. However, her abdomen was deeply indented.

But she didn't care about this injury.

Her hair, still straight and stuck to the spider silk, remained attached.

Several undead pounced on the fallen Chu Nan.

Hundreds of meters away from where Chu Nan was fighting the undead, there were ruins and many dilapidated buildings.

At this moment, a group of people was searching through the ruins.

"Hey, boss, I found it. Look, it's all food, buried underneath."

Among the group, a thin man in his early twenties, about 1.65 meters tall, called out excitedly.

The man called "boss" was in his thirties, with a rugged face and a military demeanor, holding a thick-backed mountain cleaver.

Hearing the thin man's call, the man walked over and looked at the food buried underneath, a smile appearing on his face.

This place was originally a small supermarket, and due to the collapse of the building, the food was buried underneath.

The purpose of their team coming here was clearly to find food.

"Everyone, come over, be careful." The others gathered around, starting to move the concrete and cement slabs to retrieve the food.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, the man called "boss" twitched his ears and turned his head, looking into the distance.

"Boss Xu, what's wrong? Did you hear something unusual?" another middle-aged man asked.

Xu's ears vibrated rhythmically, and he stood up abruptly: "Let's go, someone is being attacked over there. We'll go check it out." He leaped forward, dashing out.

The others were initially stunned but quickly followed.

Their team consisted of twelve people, led by this man with a military demeanor, named Xu Zhi. Everyone called him "boss" or "Boss Xu." His ears had evolved, giving him extraordinary hearing. Within a kilometer, even the slightest sound could not escape his ears.

Rounding a dilapidated building, Xu Zhi quickly saw Chu Nan fighting a group of undead.

When he arrived, he saw Chu Nan and the female undead kicking each other, both rolling and falling.

"Go!" With a low command, Xu Zhi, without hesitation, suddenly accelerated, his speed astonishingly fast.

The other eleven people also hurried to follow, their displayed strength indicating they were not weak.

Chu Nan fell heavily to the ground, heavily injured. Several undead surrounded him. Chu Nan rolled on the spot, his golden right leg, glowing with a golden hue, sweeping out, forcing the undead to stay back.

Xu Zhi, running at full speed, his eyes lit up: "Level 5 awakening?"

Chu Nan's right leg glowed golden, indicating a level 5 gene awakening.

Xu Zhi, leading this elite team that had survived through fierce battles, had successfully awakened to level 5 today. However, his awakening was in the area of hearing, allowing him to hear even the slightest sound within a kilometer.

Of course, with five times the physical strength of an ordinary person and the stimulation of level 5 adrenaline, even though his gene power was in an auxiliary area, Xu Zhi's strength was still formidable.

His figure moved like lightning, quickly rushing forward.

An undead tried to stop him but missed. Xu Zhi had already circled around to the other side, swinging his mountain cleaver horizontally.

With a "swoosh," the undead's neck spurted blood, and its head flew off.
