Chapter 55: Insensitive and Inconsiderate
Seeing that LuLu finally killed the zombie, Liu Gan at last regained a bit of confidence in her. As a result, he left via the district’s rear exit again.
Liu Gan lured another zombie over, but this time he only cut off one of its arms, which let it retain some fighting power.
“This time don’t be in a hurry to kill it. Carefully study its attack pattern and practice dodging its clawing attack.” Liu Gan explained these training methods to LuLu while he clutched the back of the zombie’s neck with one hand and twisted the zombie’s arm with his other hand.
“Will the zombie still be as ferocious as before?” LuLu asked Liu Gan. Even though she wasn’t as scared as before, she was still a little bit worried because the zombie now had one arm intact.
“Yes. Once the zombie sees a target, the zombie will instinctively rush over and jump attack it. When the distance of this jump attack is around one or two meters away from you, the zombie will speed up further. After speeding up, the zombie will have a strong forward momentum. As long as you grasp the right timing to sidestep the zombie the instant it speeds up, the zombie will be unable to jump attack you. However, the timing is very important. Dodging too early will cause the zombie to change direction, but dodging too late will result in you being caught.
[xDh20: The way the zombie attacked, might be a skill, but for now I don’t think we will name it yet. Until there’s more details from the author]
“After failing the first jump attack, the zombie will stumble forward for a few steps. After which, it will turn around and initiate another jump attack on you. The zombie is the most unbalanced when it turns around. You must rush towards it in that instant and forcefully kick it. This kick will knock it to the ground with enough force. After it is knocked down, getting rid of the zombie will be significantly easier. Of course, you are only practicing the sidestepping and kicking right now. There’s no rush to kill the zombie.” Liu Gan turned towards LuLu as he explained these specific instructions.
These were the experiences and tactics gained from his previous battles with zombies, which was very useful to the current LuLu who had almost no experience in dealing with zombies.
The current Liu Gan no longer needed to use these kinds of tactics. If a zombie charged at him, he would immediately use his fist or axe to deal with it or send it flying with a jumping roundhouse kick. The zombies would definitely not have any chance to jump attack him.
“Wait… there’s one more thing!” LuLu immediately blurted this out, as she saw Liu Gan preparing to release the zombie.
“What is it?”
“When you swing the axe, do you get any blisters on your hand? I am not sure why my hands have so many blisters, and it is very painful…” LuLu bit the bullet and asked Liu Gan while opening her pale, bloodied hands for him to see her blisters.
“Grab a clean piece of clothing from the zombies on the floor that has not been stained with blood or zombie fluid. Then use your machete to cut it into strips and wrap it as tightly as possible around your hands. This will prevent blisters from forming when you are swinging the axe to kill zombies.” Liu Gan frowned and considered for a moment before replying LuLu.
LuLu looked at the zombies on the ground. Use their clothes? Would the blood infect her if it touched her hand? She hesitated for a moment before removing her jacket, so she could cut it into strips to wrap around her hand. After all, she was starting to feel warm while wearing too many layer of clothes. Killing all these zombies also caused her to work up a sweat.
