Close Combat Skills

The sky was dim, the scent of rotting wheat stalks lingered at the tip of Ping Chengcheng’s nose, and the smell of blood stimulated her nerves. The cold touch of the firearm in her hand made the girl’s heart pound.

Silence.

The black fields emanated an evil aura, and the roar of the heavy truck trembled, being the only source of sound in the entire world.

The wind danced wildly, and the girl brushed aside the strands of hair by her eyes.

“Swoosh…!”

Suddenly, the sound of breaking wind came from the left side of the heavy truck, and an immense sense of crisis enveloped the girl’s entire body. She twisted her body rapidly, instantly assuming a shooting position.

“Bang!” The sniper rifle roared fiercely, like a clap of thunder exploding by her ear. The loud noise made Song Ning’s heart, standing to the side, skip a beat.

An Egg-Laying One, about two meters tall, was shot in the chest while moving at high speed. Its legs were long and muscular, covered with black carapaces.

“Gah!~” It let out a piercing scream, and before the girl could get off a second shot, it turned into a black shadow and disappeared from her sight.

“What, what in the world is that!?” Lao Ba had already broken down. He hadn’t even clearly seen what that monster looked like!

Wu Sheng felt uncertain in his heart. He just remained silent, gritting his teeth, and forcefully pressing down on the accelerator.

“Give me more gas! Give it to me!”

Song Ning saw more clearly than anyone else, but even in her vision, that strange zombie had only appeared for an instant.

Her heart shook violently, and she looked at the girl with extreme shock.

Only she understood just what level Ping Chengcheng’s marksmanship had reached.

That moment was definitely the girl’s subconscious sense of danger and muscle memory!

Song Ning had originally wanted to say that her current dynamic vision was very strong and that she wanted to try to see if she could kill that Special Infected.

But now she had no intention of speaking.

If it had been her, she wouldn’t even have had time to aim, at most she could have barely dodged its attack!

“Sis, be careful to dodge, pay attention to the sound of the wind.” Ping Chengcheng’s soft, loli-like voice was a bit low, but it had a strange charm to it. The girl nodded with an “Mm.”

“Oh, by the way, sis, go get the grenades. It seems to be a little hard to kill.”

The girl said, quickly changing the magazine.

She had never faced this Special Infected in her previous life, but it was said that the Egg-Laying One’s strength was among the top of all infected, more than a little stronger than the Butcher they had encountered before.

The Butcher was a very common type of Special Infected. Three years into the apocalypse, any old hand could deal with it with enough caution, except for some particularly abnormal individuals.

The Egg-Laying One seemed to have gone into hiding. The surrounding fields were all black, which was the best hunting ground for the Egg-Laying One. Ping Chengcheng couldn’t determine its position at all.

She could only rely on her own sense of danger to predict.

If not here, Ping Chengcheng had countless ways to kill it! Now, the girl could only tense her nerves to prevent a sneak attack.

The sound of the wind changed slightly, coming from behind the girl!

A powerful black shadow shot straight at the girl on guard on the roof of the truck like a bullet!

Song Ning’s pupils contracted violently as she climbed onto the roof after just getting the grenades from the container.

“Chengcheng!”

The crimson in the girl’s eyes greatly increased.

She did a backbend with extreme flexibility, and the Egg-Laying One brushed past the corner of her clothes! Its foul-smelling saliva even dripped next to the girl’s feet, its claws just a little bit away from cutting her throat.

What a close call!

A little bit more, and there would have been trouble!

The Egg-Laying One had a fatal flaw: its high-speed sprint could only move in a straight line. The girl’s expression froze, and she suddenly straightened her waist. Everything happened in just a short moment!

Focus, aim, and pull the trigger hard!

“Bang!!” The sound wave made Wu Sheng, who was tightly gripping the steering wheel, jolt.

Another precise shot!

The Egg-Laying One’s bald black head was hit with a “dong” sound, and then it fell awkwardly in mid-air, landing headfirst into the ground in front of the semi-trailer with a “boom.”

Wu Sheng’s heart suddenly jumped, overjoyed.

“Behold the true power of AAA Heavy Truck Master Wu Sheng!”

“Crack! Clunk~!”

The semi-trailer rolled over it heavily. The grenades that Song Ning had been told to get were not even used.

The girl quickly walked to the rear of the car and looked closely. It was almost crushed into a specimen, with black blood splattering all around. Only a few thick bone joints with some black carapace and flesh were still stubbornly intact.

The crisis was resolved, and Ping Chengcheng breathed a sigh of relief.

“Stop the car, stop the car.”

Wu Sheng was a little confused, but he still stopped the car.

“What’s wrong?”

Ping Chengcheng nimbly jumped from the roof of the car to the sandy ground and slowly walked to the corpse of the Egg-Laying One.

“Sis, look, its bones are very hard.”

“We can use them to make weapons.”

Song Ning walked to the girl’s side, and hearing her words, she looked at the several erect leg bones.

Indeed, they were very hard. After being run over by the semi-trailer, they were not damaged at all.

Although it was a bit disgusting, it was better than nothing.

“We need to clean them properly. They contain the zombie virus, in case we accidentally infect Wu Sheng and the others.”

Song Ning said.

The girl nodded and asked Wu Sheng to get a few large pieces of cloth from the container.

She half-squatted down, put her hand into the disgusting, slimy thigh meat, and tentacles grew out from under her sweater, extending from her cuffs and beginning to devour it greedily.

Under the cover, she successfully obtained the genes of the Egg-Laying One, and Ping Chengcheng discovered that this time there were two different gene texts.

One ability was the ability to lay eggs.

The other was the mutation of the legs.

The girl ignored the first one and focused on the second.

Ping Chengcheng clearly felt that the strength of her legs had increased by at least five or six times, which was much stronger than the ability of the Butcher.

There was another biggest improvement. Why was it called a leg mutation?

Ping Chengcheng carefully observed the gene composition text in her mind and, after a little probing, found that she could sacrifice a part of her body’s energy to cover her legs and feet with a layer of shiny black, hard armor when needed!

This was a rare and good ability. With this, the girl’s kicks would become a surprise move in close combat. Absolute strength, plus hard armor.

No one would have thought that a casual kick from her, a little girl in appearance, could shatter a steel plate!

With this powerful strength, her mind relaxed slightly, she chuckled softly, and then “pfft,” she pulled out the leg bone of the Egg-Laying One with force.

The thighs and calves, with the leg bones combined, there were a total of four.

One side of its calf bone was extremely sharp, like a sharpened blade. There was a natural grip at the ankle, as if it had been carefully designed. The overall black streamlined shape was ferocious and domineering, and Song Ning liked it very much.

Ping Chengcheng also thought that this “knife” was more suitable for Song Ning’s abilities. With her speed and extremely fast judgment of the attack direction, she could display two hundred percent of her strength.

They wrapped the four bones in cloth and got back on the car.

“Let’s go, Brother Wu~” Ping Cheng washed the dirt and bloodstains on her hands several times with water from the container and said with a giggle.
