997 Doomed City

The infected being protected by the shell suddenly began moving at this point and lifted Gustav off him.

"I really don't have time for this, I should destroy you now," Gustav stated as he sent out another fist the instant the shell was lifted.

At the same moment the infected who was more than two times Gustav's height reached out to block Gustav's fist.

Bang!

He got sent flying across the air and did a flip once before landing on the ground to balance himself. 

Tzzzhhhhh!

The infected still slid back by a few feet more before finding stability. 

The creature made a weird shrieking sound in the next instant as it lowered it's hand.

"This one is definitely stronger than the others," Gustav noticed that his punch was barely effective against it.

Besides that it seemed like this infected had higher intelligence than the others as it didn't just try to jump in and attack Gustav foolishly.
