Teaser up for next chapter! Computer broke down and router died on me :( so I am behind!

This type of variant zombie had a higher risk factor associated with it, and it was definitely more dangerous than the [Giant Colossal Variant Zombie]. Since the muscles were more compact and defined for the [Black-Spotted Variant Zombie], it was harder to hack away its defense. It also had the speed to match its tough defense. The claws on both hands were enhanced, which made it a tough obstacle.

The moment the shield-wielding player that was responsible for drawing in aggro of the zombie lost aggro, then the zombie would strike any surrounding teammates at a moment's notice. With its enhanced claws, even a simple scratch would shred a player's muscles easily. Even if the player didn't die from the attack, they would still become infected.

At that kind of moment, having a doctor was very crucial. When the virus was only on the surface level of the skin, then using [Treatment] would be able to cure the infected areas. Once, the virus moved deeper into the muscles and blood stream, then even the strongest [Treatment] wouldn't be able to save them.

Yan Su’s [Treatment] had been enhanced, but that was all he is good for. Yan Su wasn't an offensive type player. Wang Chao’s fighting tempo could match up with the variant zombie. As for the remaining players, they were the most vulnerable. The moment the variant zombie changed target to any player other than Wang Chao, they would be in a life-threatening situation, and the team’s fighting tempo would be slowed greatly.

Wang Chao and his team of six players finally managed to kill a variant zombie after 10 minutes of intense fighting. To express their gratitude, and as an attempt to curry favor from Yan Su, the first kill was given to him. The following kills would be rotated for his own men.

“How is Zhang ShengLi’s team doing?” After their first variant zombie was killed Wang Chao asked his team. They were thinking that with only three players, they wouldn't be able to match their speed in killing the variant zombie.

“They’ve already killed three variant zombies.” Yan Su replied. Since Yan Su was a healer, his duty wasn't on the front line, but in the back line. Even though he was level 6, he was a support character, so he would occasionally monitor their surroundings and use his ability to heal players.

“They’ve already killed three?” Wang Chao was shocked. They spent ten minutes to handle only one variant zombie. Who would've thought that three players would be able to handle three variants in the same amount of time!

The difference in power must be huge!

“They are too strong. You have called for some troublesome helpers.” Yan Su whispered from behind Wang Chao.

“That is… indeed quite troublesome! Doctor Su, we might need to work together as six to fight against those three. But if things turn out like that… Doctor Su, you will…” Wang Chao was trying to test for Yan Su’s allegiance.

“I will definitely support you guys.” Yan Su replied to Wang Chao quickly, but there seemed to be something unsettling behind his words.

“Ah… I don't really want to scheme against them. It is just that they are this strong. I'm afraid that if we don't band together, we won't be able to get anything from the laboratory. We discovered the laboratory, but they might just take everything for themselves.” Wang Chao explained.

“That is understandable.” Yan Su smiled. Behind every smile was a hidden dagger. Yan Su felt that the group he was with was quite stupid. After discovering the secret laboratory, they broadcasted knowledge of it out in order to hire help. They could've just as easily leveled up first, and then come back at a later time to investigate the laboratory.
