Chapter 85

Mandatory mission!

Zhao Futu felt like cursing when he saw this, but he had no way to deal with it.

At this moment, the mission he had accepted had already increased to three: establishing a teleportation point, protecting the teleportation point, and providing energy for the teleportation point. These three missions did not conflict, but the level of danger was completely different; otherwise, a senior member wouldn't have died so quickly. After Zhao Futu was forcibly granted the rank of battlefield commander, his coordinates were also included in the statistics of the Nightmare Mark. At the same time, the positions of the other two battlefield commanders were also within his perception.

The Nightmare Mark now served as a GPS, starting to locate some of the contractors. At the same time, the Nightmare Space began to command the contractors to fight in various forms of missions. The rank of battlefield commander had an additional benefit: the ability to view the coordinates of all contractors within a 20-kilometer radius. There were six contractors near him, two outside, and three more 10 kilometers away, two of whom had already met.

The last contractor was near the Huangpu River, and his coordinates had not moved.

...

The battle outside continued. When Zhao Futu came out, only one zombie remained.

Without the Licker lurking and waiting to ambush, the two contractors could fight more freely. The contractor with the werewolf bloodline enhancement, despite being severely injured, managed to kill the agile mutant zombie. However, his arm was also crippled, and he now dared not engage the giant zombie head-on, instead using guerrilla tactics to buy time.

Fortunately, the werewolf bloodline also had high agility. Although he looked precarious, he should be able to hold on for a while longer.

After resting for a while, Zhao Futu walked out of the office building and used the Scouting Skill on the giant zombie:

"Tank (Severely Injured):

Height: 243 cm

Weight: 465 kg

Base Attributes:

Strength: 30 points

Agility: 12 points

Intelligence: 1 point

Stamina: 45 points

Spirit: 3 points

Perception: 21 points

Willpower: 9 points

Charisma: 1 point

Skills:

Mutated T-Virus Infection [Locked Skill]: Any attack has a 15% chance of infecting a contractor with the mutated T-virus. The infection rate for ordinary humans is 100%, permanently increasing Strength by 5 points, Agility by 1 point, and Stamina by 10 points.

Mutated T-Virus Advanced Evolution [Locked Skill]: Any attack has a 25% chance of infecting a contractor with the mutated T-virus. The infection rate for ordinary humans is 100%, permanently increasing Strength by 10 points, Agility by 1 point, and Stamina by 10 points.

Tank Mutation [Locked Skill]: The mutated T-virus evolved into a Tank mutation, permanently increasing Strength by 10 points, Agility by 1 point, Stamina by 20 points, and Health by 1000 points.

Keratinized Skin v3: The Tank's skin has developed keratinized characteristics, reducing or nullifying some damage.

Savage Charge v5: During a charge, there is a chance to trigger crushing damage.

[Tyrant Mutation]: There is a 0.1% chance of mutating into a Tyrant (Evolved Form).

[Unknown Ability]: Cannot be viewed."

"Such high Stamina!" Zhao Futu couldn't help but draw a sharp breath when he saw the information.

This zombie named 'Tank' was indeed a flesh and blood tank. Its Strength of 30 points was almost on par with a giant werewolf, and its Stamina of 45 points made Zhao Futu feel a bit uneasy. The 45 points of Stamina not only increased its health but also enhanced its recovery and defense capabilities. For example, the keratinized skin of this Tank mutation could even resist attacks from ordinary firearms, and the thick fat layer made most attacks unable to reach its vital points!

Bang!

Zhao Futu leaped down from the second floor. Seeing him, the two contractors were invigorated. Since Zhao Futu had survived, it meant the Licker was dead, and they now only needed to focus on the Tank mutation. The contractor with the firearms enhancement had already put away the Gatling gun, a weapon that even he found hard to sustain due to its high ammunition consumption.

He was now using an infrared sniper rifle, using his agility to circle around the Tank mutation and wear it down.

The battlefield was a mess. The contractor with the firearms enhancement had used various weapons, including a rocket launcher, high-explosive grenades, and a Gatling gun, but the Tank mutation was still only severely injured, and its attacks were still powerful.

"Mutated T-virus?"

"Could a contractor have spread a virus from another zombie dimension to the Resident Evil dimension?" Zhao Futu immediately noticed some hidden issues in this dimension when he checked the Tank mutation's attributes.

This Tank mutation didn't seem to be a product of the original Resident Evil dimension but rather a fusion of the T-virus and some unknown virus.

The main and hidden missions in this Resident Evil dimension were mostly completed, meaning many contractors had entered this dimension. Some of these contractors might have spread other types of viruses in this dimension, and these viruses were compatible with the zombie virus.

Zhao Futu couldn't yet determine what type of virus had been spread.

...

"Give me a grenade!"

Zhao Futu landed and rushed to the thinner contractor. The werewolf bloodline enhancer had temporarily held the Tank mutation, but to finish it off, they needed a more powerful attack. To be honest, Zhao Futu didn't dare to engage this behemoth in close combat. Its weight was nearly half a ton, and even if their strength was similar, he would have no advantage in a real fight.

"Here!" The skilled contractor didn't waste words, immediately pulling out two high-explosive grenades and handing them over.

As the main firepower output, he knew the Tank mutation's formidable resistance. Even a rocket launcher or a few grenades wouldn't seriously injure it. If not for the modified Gatling gun, which he had used at great cost, it would have been difficult to severely wound it. Although the Gatling gun was powerful, each shot consumed resources, especially when bullets needed to be purchased with survival points.

If he hadn't been in a dimension where he could obtain ammunition, such a strategy would have bankrupted him, leaving him unable to think about enhancing his skills.

Even the most powerful contractors found it difficult to fight an army alone, let alone a regular army in a dimension, which could easily take down a senior member. After all, no matter how strong a contractor's body was, it couldn't withstand attacks from rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, missiles, or laser weapons. In most cases, contractors avoided direct conflict with armies when entering plot dimensions.

"Cover me!" Zhao Futu shouted to the nearby werewolf, then pulled out a dagger and charged at the Tank mutation.

This was his first time working with other contractors, and he didn't know if they could cooperate. Fortunately, the werewolf bloodline enhancer, upon hearing his voice, growled and his eyes turned blood red, activating some ability. He snapped his twisted arm back into place and pounced on the Tank mutation.

The Tank mutation's attention was successfully diverted. Zhao Futu quickly tied a high-explosive grenade to the dagger and charged forward. As he approached the Tank mutation, he leaped, pulled the pin, and plunged the dagger into the Tank mutation's neck, embedding it almost halfway. The high-explosive grenade was also fixed under the Tank mutation's head.

"Run!" Zhao Futu shouted.

The two contractors quickly retreated, and a loud explosion followed as the high-explosive grenade detonated under the Tank mutation's head.

"Is it dead?..." The werewolf contractor transformed back into human form, a short-haired, muscular young man who lay naked on the ground, clearly exhausted.

The Tank mutation still stood, even though half its head was blown off. Its muscles began to twitch rapidly, and the bloated fat seemed to shrink, revealing solid muscle tissue. The half-blown-off head began to heal visibly, and it quickly transformed from a massive, fat ball into a muscular zombie.

— Tyrant Mutation!!!

Zhao Futu's pupils dilated, and he couldn't help but curse.
