Chapter 77 has been going on for two minutes already, how much longer are you planning to drag this
With the team's coordinated efforts, the mutated zombie had already sustained several wounds.
But this guy is no ordinary zombie; even injured, he remains extremely ferocious.
Wang Xiao watched quietly without making a move.
He is waiting.
Wait until these people show more potential.
In Wang Xiao's view, although continuing would take some time, the death of this mutated zombie was already inevitable.
Just then, the mutated zombie suddenly changed its target and pounced on a person who was clearing out ordinary zombies.
"Be careful!"
Xiao Minghai's expression changed and he spoke up to warn them, but it was too late to help.
Just as the examinee was about to die at the hands of the mutated zombie, Wang Xiao made his move.
With a swift kick, sending the mutated zombie flying, he simultaneously drew his sword from its sheath...
Before the mutated zombie, who had been kicked away, could even stand up, a black scalpel pierced through his eye socket, pinning him to the ground.
Zhao Jun, the blond-haired man who arrived first, exclaimed in shock, "Wow...so fast!"
Wang Xiao sheathed his sword, flicked the blood off it, and glanced at everyone present before calmly saying, "The assessment continues."
For a moment, the more than twenty examiners present looked at Wang Xiao with not only awe but also shock.
They knew Wang Xiao was very strong, and even knew that Wang Xiao might be the strongest among all the ability users they had ever seen.
But only by seeing it up close could they know just how powerful it truly was.
That was a powerful mutant zombie; even with all of them working together, they could barely hold their own. Yet now, it was so easily killed by Wang Xiao with a single strike right before their eyes.
Even if they were replaced with ability users, they would still have to struggle with these mutated zombies for a while before they could successfully defeat them.
But Wang Xiao didn't need to. He didn't even give the mutated zombies any chance to fight back. All his actions followed only one principle: efficiency.
Wang Xiao sheathed his sword, looked at the stunned crowd, and frowned, saying, "What are you all standing there for? The assessment isn't over yet. Continue clearing; there are still many zombies inside the market. Or are you planning to give up now?"
His words snapped everyone out of their shock, and they all threw themselves back into the battle.
Xiao Minghai gave Wang Xiao a deep look, secretly making up his mind: "I must pass this test and join the Peace Hotel."
Meanwhile, Tie Niu, standing to the side, was also filled with excitement.
Although he was not as strong as the mutated zombie, Wang Xiao's strike gave him hope of becoming stronger.
If he can become an ability user, maybe one day he can become as strong as Wang Xiao!
"Brothers, the boss has already stepped in, we can't hold him back! Charge!"
With a roar, Tie Niu swung his sledgehammer and smashed it down on the horde of zombies in front of him.
With Wang Xiao in charge, the examiners' morale soared, and the cleanup speed increased significantly.
The zombies outside the wholesale market were quickly cleared away, and then it was time to clear the inside.
Qin Huai'an led the people from the Qin Group over, looked at Wang Xiao, and laughed, "Boss Wang, you have quite the skills. That slash even startled me."
Wang Xiao chuckled and replied, "President Qin, you flatter me. Here you go. This thing has already been taken care of."
Qin Huai'an's expression stiffened, and he thought to himself: Who can compare to a monster like you now?
Although he thought this to himself, Qin Huai'an still smiled and changed the subject, saying, "We have already conducted a preliminary investigation of the situation inside the market. Most of the zombies are gathered in the warehouse, and we cannot rule out the possibility that there are mutated zombies hiding there."
"Also, the zombies around us have heard the commotion and will probably gather here soon, so we need to speed up a bit."
Wang Xiao was silent for a moment before speaking, "Then let's split up. You guys are responsible for cleaning up the warehouse on the right, and my men will handle the left side."
Qin Huai'an nodded: "Okay, then let's do as Boss Wang says. However, if we really encounter an insurmountable danger, we will provide support from both sides at any time."
"no problem."
After finalizing the plan, the two each led their men to begin their operation.
Wang Xiao, along with Xue Wu, Li Shu, and the twenty-nine examinees, arrived at the warehouse gate on the left.
As the door slowly opened, a stench immediately wafted out.
The warehouse was dimly lit, with only a few windows letting in a little sunlight.
The shelves were overturned, and various goods and dried bloodstains were scattered on the ground.
Deep inside the warehouse, several pairs of eyes, glowing red, were staring intently at the entrance.
"They're here," Xue Wu whispered to the others.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a dark figure suddenly darted out from the shadows and pounced straight at Xiao Minghai, who was at the front of the group.
Xiao Minghai reacted well; as the shadowy figure made his move, he also swung his machete.
Xue Wu shouted a warning: "It's a speed-type mutated zombie! Everyone be careful, it's very fast!"
Wang Xiao's eyes narrowed, but he did not make a move immediately.
He also wanted to see how well these examinees could perform when faced with real danger.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but this mutated zombie didn't seem as powerful as the ones he'd encountered during the zombie horde. It felt like something was missing...
"Old Zhang, Tie Niu, flank from both sides!"
While dealing with the speed-type mutated zombie, Xiao Minghai issued commands.
"receive!"
Old Zhang and Tie Niu immediately sprang into action, attacking the mutated zombie from both sides.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jun, the blond-haired man, along with a few others, began clearing out the other ordinary zombies in the warehouse to prevent them from interfering with Xiao Minghai and his group's operations.
For a moment, shouts and screams filled the warehouse, and the battle was extremely fierce.
Although the speed-type mutated zombie was fast, it gradually fell into a disadvantageous position with the cooperation of Xiao Minghai and his group.
Just then, two more roars came from deep within the warehouse.
Immediately afterwards, two even larger mutated zombies rushed out.
A creature covered in what appeared to be bone armor, clearly a defensive mutated zombie, had its other hands transformed into enormous flesh blades, and its eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.
Tie Niu's expression changed: "There are actually three in there?!"
Xiao Minghai frowned and said in a deep voice, "This is troublesome."
Just as everyone was considering giving up, Wang Xiao finally made his move.
He slowly drew his sword, took a step forward, and stood in front of the crowd.
Without turning his head, Wang Xiao said, "You can have the speed-type one. I'll take these two. Xue Wu and Li Shu will help you. If you can take care of it before I deal with these two, I'll take you guys."
After saying that, Wang Xiao drew his sword and walked towards the two mutated zombies.
The two mutated zombies seemed to sense the dangerous aura emanating from Wang Xiao, letting out a low growl, but they did not immediately pounce.
Wang Xiao smiled and said, "What? Scared?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiao suddenly rushed out, and in the next instant, he was already in front of the defensive mutated zombie.
The sword slashed down, striking the mutated zombie squarely in the neck.
"Snap!"
The sound of bone armor shattering rang out, and the head of the defensive mutated zombie was instantly severed, its massive body crashing to the ground.
Upon seeing this, another mutated zombie roared and swung its flesh blade at Wang Xiao.
As Wang Xiao dodged the attack, he swung his horizontal sword without hesitation, instantly severing the opponent's arm.
The mutated zombie immediately let out a scream.
Wang Xiao gave it no chance to breathe, and with a backhand slash, he pierced its heart.
In less than two minutes, both mutated zombies were dead.
Inside the warehouse, all was silent.
Everyone looked at Wang Xiao as if he were a monster.
Wang Xiao, however, acted as if he were simply completing a very simple task. He glanced at the group still entangled with the speed-type mutated zombie and said calmly, "Two minutes have passed? I've already dealt with things on my end. How much longer are you planning to drag this out?"
Spurred on, Xiao Minghai and his men's morale surged once more. Xiao Minghai gritted his teeth and declared, "From now on, follow my lead! Let's go all out and kill it!"
"good!"
Not only was Xiao Minghai provoked, but everyone else was also deeply affected at this moment.
But this setback did not make them despair; instead, it fueled their yearning to become ability users and gave them a clearer goal!
Seeing the group of people who seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, Wang Xiao didn't pay much attention to them, but instead focused his attention on the others.
Xue Wu and Li Shu were recording the performances of the others.
Perhaps they couldn't match Xiao Minghai and his group in fighting mutated zombies, but at least when facing ordinary zombies, their performance left Wang Xiao with no major flaws.
Judging from the results, this group of people are all quite good.
But since it's an assessment, some people will inevitably be selected and some will not be selected, and the original number of people will not change because of this.
If you miss this chance, you'll just have to wait for the next one.
There are no rules in the apocalypse, but his Peace Hotel does!
