My Monster Fuses Everything

"Buildings 9, 6, and 8 have already been cleared by Miss Bai and me; there wasn't much of anything. The homeowners weren't there, just the maids and gardeners who had turned into flesh zombies. All have been dealt with," he said.

Ye Kailing and Zhu Xiong were a team, equivalent to three First-level Intermediates, along with Cheng Xiyuan, Gu Shaojie's Giant Macrophage Dog, and the remaining two flesh zombies, making their seven-person team's overall strength decent.

Apart from the flesh zombies wielding machetes, the Contractors also held sharp machetes, all weapons provided by Su Han.

"That simplifies things. We'll start from building five and search up to building one, also checking the main gate along the way. If everything looks clear, we'll head back and search from building 11 to 15. How does that sound?"

Zhu Xiong gestured over the map and asked Gan Xinglei and Ye Kailing.

Gan Xinglei shook his head and said, "I have no objections."

Ye Kailing said, "I have no objections either, but I do have a question. What do we do if we come across survivors?"

Although the villa district wasn't densely populated, and Ye Kailing and Bai Qilan hadn't encountered any living people while searching for supplies, she knew this was a problem they couldn't avoid.

Zhu Xiong, now experienced, replied, "It depends on the person. If they're not dangerous, we can absorb them into our camp while ensuring our own safety. However, we might need to control them first if necessary."

Upon hearing the word "control," Ye Kailing's eyelid twitched. Wasn't that precisely how Su Han had dealt with them?

She was still recovering from her flesh zombie injuries but, fortunately, could move around now.

"Understood. I'll provide support with my bow and arrow; the rest is under your command," she said.

The vehicle started slowly and soon passed the sixth villa, gradually nearing the fifth villa.

Villas 1-5 were closer to the main gate exit of the Shanhu Villa District, also known as the front garden, and Villa 5 was a bit distanced from Yunling Lake.

As they approached Villa 5, the fog gradually dispersed under the glow of the Lamp Tree crystals, revealing the appearance of the villa.

"Roar"

The moment the truck stopped, a deep growl echoed, and flesh zombies' figures suddenly appeared in the yard, all three grotesque and clawing.

Upon hearing the sound, they turned and charged towards the people, scaling the fence wall with limbs flailing like wild animals.

"Take action."

The flesh zombies moved fast, but the team was accustomed to these monsters' attacks. Therefore, just as they pounced, an Angel Envoy flesh zombie leaped off the roof, knocking them down.

Meanwhile, a newly summoned Giant Macrophage Dog sprang forward, its mouth full of sharp teeth, and bit off the head of a flesh zombie in one swift motion.

In just two minutes, three flesh zombies were dead, and the group finally stepped off the vehicle.

"Let's search the house for items first, and then load the flesh zombies onto the truck afterward," Zhu Xiong commanded while holding a machete, suggesting that since there were monsters in the yard, it was unlikely there were still living people inside the villa.

Sure enough, when they reached the front door and found it open, they entered to be welcomed by the stench of decay.

In the living room, they were greeted by the sight of a nearly gutted, rotting corpse.

"Look for useful items and be cautious of more monsters," he instructed.

Without any living people, the search became simpler. From the first floor to the second, the only food that hadn't spoiled was rice and flour; there wasn't much in the way of medicine, but there was plenty of alcohol—red wine, spirits, and liquor.

"Brother Xiong, there are two sports cars in the garage," someone noted.

"Just log it for now," he replied.

In less than half an hour, Villa 5 was thoroughly scavenged by Zhu Xiong and his team. Not a lot of supplies were found, but everything was stuffed into the truck. Regarding the three bodies of the flesh zombies, after draining their blood, they too were packed into the truck, kept separately.

Villa 4 was unoccupied, having neither maids nor gardeners. Other than some food and alcohol, nothing else was found—it likely had been empty since the outbreak.

Continuing from Villa 3 to Villa 1, they sporadically encountered one or two flesh zombies but still found no survivors. However, they did collect some supplies and noted the villas with vehicles.

"Prepare yourselves; we're heading back, starting with the 11th Villa," Zhu Xiong announced.

Although Villa No. 11 bore a sequential name with Villa No. 10, it was actually a bit far from it and not particularly close to Yunling Lake.

A few people drove back, planning to start from Villa No. 11 and complete the latter half of their exploration. If they managed to clear the area this time, the villa district would become much safer.

"I wonder how Su Han is doing. He should be managing pretty well, right?"

As Zhu Xiong was driving, he chatted with Gan Xinglei, who shook his head, "Not necessarily. That side is connected to Yunling Mountain. Although there's a wall separating them, you never know what might be lurking."

"Don't jinx it."

Zhu Xiong arched an eyebrow, but Gan Xinglei didn't mind. He was telling the truth. However, it probably wasn't a big issue for Su Han, given his stronger abilities.

"Wait! Listen!"

Suddenly, Ye Kailing stiffened and interrupted their conversation.

Zhu Xiong and Gan Xinglei showed surprised expressions. Without asking for details, they heard roaring and chaotic noises rising from the fog.

"It's a monster!"

Gan Xinglei's face tensed up, listening to the sounds that were not just from one creature, but from several engaged in combat.

Ye Kailing confirmed, "It's coming from the direction of Villa No. 13. It could be survivors."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xiong immediately said, "Let's go check it out, hold on tight."

He floored the gas pedal, turning the car toward the source of the noise.

The car wasn't slow, and as they drew closer, the chaotic sounds of battle grew clearer. Finally, when they were near, the light from the Lamp Tree crystals dispersed the fog around them, exposing the situation a hundred meters away.

A giant human-shaped flesh corpse about three meters tall was leading seven or eight other flesh corpses in an assault on Villa No. 13.

This giant flesh corpse had bulging muscles of a ghastly white color and a pair of crimson eyes exuding savage ferocity. Most notably, its sharp claws were over twenty centimeters long, pale and sharp as if forged from bone.

At that moment, a group of about five or six Angel Envoy flesh corpses and their Contractors were holding them off, defending continuously by relying on the fence wall. However, the resistance inside the villa was tough; the Giant Claw Zombie simply grabbed one of the Angel Envoy flesh corpses with a swing of its immense hand.

Its sharp claws left deep gashes on the body, from which blood surged out like warm springs, staining the body of the Giant Claw Zombie and the fence red.

"Boom"

The flesh corpse was directly smashed and fell onto the sharp ends of the fence, the entire body impaled by rows of spikes, instantly killing it.

"Ah!"

A scream echoed as a man fighting the flesh corpses alongside the angels turned pale and collapsed on the spot.

The others changed their expressions. A chubby man shouted, "Retreat! Get back to the house!"

As they hurried back to the house, the flesh corpses tried to hold off the attack, but then the car headlights and the light from the Lamp Tree suddenly shone over, drawing the attention of both the Giant Claw Zombie and the survivors.

The large red truck glowing in the light suddenly caught the attention of the Giant Claw Zombie, which turned its head to look over. Its crimson eyes and ferocious face were clearly exposed under the light, nearly visible were the glistening fluids dripping from its mouth filled with sharp intertwined fangs.

The chubby man's face changed, instantly overjoyed, "Brother, don't get out of the car. This monster is fierce, just ram it!"

The loud shout was like a command erupting among the monsters and Zhu Xiong's group. Instantly, the Giant Claw Zombie abandoned the group of survivors at the villa and charged toward the truck.

Inside the car, Zhu Xiong's expression turned cold, a fierce glint in his eyes as he muttered, "I had no intention of getting out anyway, let's go!"

He hit the gas pedal, and the modified truck charged directly at the Giant Claw Zombie.

"Bang"
Your journey starts at m_v le mpyr

A massive impact sound resonated as the front of the truck, fitted with a shovel, struck hard against the body of the Giant Claw Zombie. It violently collided with the reinforced front of the vehicle and then flew backward at high speed.

The dozens of meters of acceleration were not enough to kill the Giant Claw Zombie on impact. All that could be seen was more than ten meters away, the Giant Claw Zombie rolling on the ground with both legs completely broken, its arms twisted like pretzels, and its ribs piercing through the chest.

It struggled and roared, even trying to crawl over, but Zhu Xiong flung the car door open and shouted, "Take action, keep the big one alive, finish off the others."
