mutants never seen before

"Take care of yourself," Anthony instructed Cheryl, and then he proceeded towards the inside with his knife. Yesterday, the elementary section had already been cleared, and now he had to clear the middle school section. It is worth mentioning that Yanghe School was renowned for its middle school section. Among the key high schools in Linxian City, Yanghe School had the majority of the students taking the entrance examination. Therefore, many parents would rather spend a large sum of money to send their children to the middle school section of Yanghe School than to enter a free public school.

This directly resulted in an astonishing number of over two thousand students in the middle school section of Yanghe School. The main entrance of the school led to the school square, with a flag-raising platform in the center of the square, directly facing the teaching building of the middle school section. Compared to the elementary section, the square in front of the middle school section's teaching building was also empty.

Anthony cautiously approached the wall on his left, slowly getting closer. As he approached the teaching building, he took a swift step, directly climbed the stairs, rolled to release momentum, and then leaned against the corner of the classroom window to observe. "Huh, where did they all go?" Anthony couldn't help but utter a word of suspicion when he saw that the classrooms were empty. Why was Yanghe School so eerie?

The zombies in the elementary section were stronger than the zombies outside. Could it be that the zombies in the middle school section were also different from the rest? Setting aside these thoughts, Anthony carefully checked several classrooms nearby, and almost all of them were empty! Occasionally, there were only torn apart corpses. It was strange, very strange indeed.

After completing the inspection on the first floor, Anthony continued climbing the stairs to the second floor, which was the same. He simply went straight to the top floor, the fourth floor. As soon as he reached the stairs, he smelled a strong stench of decay and heard the sound of dripping footsteps from above.

"Just as I thought, they're on the top floor," Anthony murmured. Taking a deep breath, he headed directly towards the upper floor. As expected, as soon as he reached the top of the stairs, a zombie pounced at him. Unlike the ordinary zombies outside, this one was even faster than an average person.

"Well, are these zombies in Yanghe Middle School consuming melamine? They're so ferocious!" Cursing under his breath, he made a slight leap, his body resembling an arrow leaving the bowstring, and the watermelon knife in his hand drew a silver line in the air. Black blood splattered three feet away, and the large head spun in the air. One down.

The fight didn't make much noise, but it quickly attracted other zombies. Almost all the zombies fought like the first one, agile in speed and unusually strong, stronger than the elementary school student zombies from yesterday but weaker than the female teacher zombie.

Anthony looked at the horde of zombies in front of him and swallowed hard. If he didn't have Level 1 Venom Armor, he would surely be scratched by the zombies in such a narrow corridor. But with the Venom Armor, he didn't have as many concerns.

The battle became more brutal than before. Faced with the horde of corpses, Anthony didn't resemble an ordinary human but rather a meat grinder. Every swing of his knife would take down a zombie, even if it didn't hit the head. Under the strength of 1645 pounds, the zombies would be cleaved in half. The battle lasted for a full three hours.

Anthony's chest heaved violently. He hadn't expected his first battle after enhancement to be so difficult. He lowered his gaze and saw a thick, dark red stream of sticky blood flowing down the stairs, littered with bodies of various irregularly shaped zombies. Some of the remains were still twitching, creating an extremely disgusting scene.

"The battle should be over now," Anthony thought to himself as he looked at the multitude of zombies on the ground. But the next moment, a mutation occurred. Suddenly, there was a tremor in the hallway. Before long, a monster appeared within Anthony's line of sight.

"This... is also a mutant?" Anthony widened his eyes and saw that this zombie looked very strange. Its body was similar to a power-type zombie, even more muscular and taller, reaching almost four meters in height.

But what was truly strange was its head. Its neck was completely concave, and a whole gray-haired girl emerged, leaning half of her body on the recessed neck, which looked extremely discordant.

"Let's test it first." Anthony's eyes sharpened, and his intuition told him that this zombie would be extremely tough. But since he encountered it, he would test his watermelon knife on it. He took out a vial of holy water, took a sip, then tightened the cap and threw it forcefully at the zombie. The bottle instantly slipped from his hand and flew straight toward the zombie's face.

The little girl zombie screamed and reached out her chubby little hand to catch the flying bottle. A perfect opportunity! While the opponent's attention was diverted, Anthony swiftly moved and swung his silver blade towards the little girl. His agility was now 8.75, which meant he could move 61.25 meters per second. For an ordinary person, he would appear as a blur.

In contrast, the silver-haired girl zombie was still rejoicing over catching the water bottle and completely unaware of the impending danger. The next second... "Rest in peace!" Anthony angrily shouted, and his long knife was already just one meter away from the silver-haired girl zombie's head. It was about to strike. Suddenly, a strong gust of wind came from both sides of his body.

Just half a meter away from the silver-haired girl zombie's head, a pair of giant hands directly caught Anthony's watermelon knife. "What...?" Anthony's pupils contracted. His knife was caught by this zombie, and the tremendous force transmitted through the blade almost caused his tiger's mouth to split open. Fortunately, the venom armor had dissipated most of the strength, preventing the knife from slipping out of his hand.

Seeing that his strike missed, Anthony leaned his head back, forcefully kicked the two arms on either side, used the recoil to retrieve his blade, performed a mid-air somersault, landed steadily on the ground, and then took a few steps back to create distance from the mutant.

"That was close. If it had grabbed me, I would have been done for." Anthony muttered to himself, staring intently at the mutant in front of him while contemplating his next battle plan. After blocking Anthony's watermelon knife, the thick, elephant-like arms of the mutant finally relaxed, revealing the silver-haired little girl inside.

Perhaps startled by Anthony's previous attack or because her water bottle was knocked away, the little girl burst into tears. Her cry sounded like that of a wild cat in heat, but even more piercing, causing a sharp pain in the eardrums just by listening.

Watching the silver-haired little girl cry, the two massive arms beneath her were flailing helplessly until one arm gently covered the little girl head and began caressing her. The little girl sobbed a few times before her crying finally subsided. Finally, the silver-haired little girl stared straight at Anthony and pointed with her tiny finger, saying,

"Big guy, this human bullied An'an. An'an wants to eat him." The bulky figure, upon hearing the silver-haired little girl 's words, quickly made a gesture in agreement and then bent down, assuming a running posture. After the ground in the hallway cracked, it suddenly disappeared from its original position. Anthony's expression flickered as he slowly raised his watermelon knife to protect himself.
