Apocalypse: I can control zombies

Chapter 93 The Abilities of the Zombie Cat

In his mind, Lu Chen gave the zombie cat a simple command: Get to the rooftop as fast as possible!

Immediately afterward, amidst the somewhat wary yet awe-inspiring gazes of the survivors, the zombie cat leaped up.

With a gentle push from its hind legs, its entire body launched forward.

The first jump landed directly on the second-floor exterior wall of a building, its four claws firmly gripping the cracks in the brickwork like steel nails.

Without stopping, it began running vertically along the wall at a 90-degree angle—yes, running, not climbing.

Its four claws moved rapidly across the wall, leaving a set of shallow, dense scratches on the bricks with each step. Its body was almost completely perpendicular to the ground, but it was faster than a human sprinting on flat ground.

Lu Chen estimated that this speed was at least twice that of an elite zombie.

At this moment, the zombie cat moved as smoothly as a gray-black lightning bolt flying close to the wall.

In less than a breath, it had already reached the rooftop of the 15th floor.

It stood on the edge of the rooftop, glanced down at the building below, and then jumped off the roof.

The survivors downstairs instinctively let out a low gasp.

He jumped straight down from the 15th floor, a height of nearly 50 meters?

The zombie cat adjusted its posture in mid-air, spreading its limbs and using its tail to balance its body, its entire descent trajectory drawing a beautiful parabola.

At the moment of impact, all four limbs land simultaneously, with the knees and ankles bending inward. The unique force-absorbing structure of felines evenly distributes the enormous impact force to the muscles and ligaments of the four legs.

It landed almost without any impact sound, only a very slight thud as the footpads touched the ground, and then it stood firmly on the ground.

Although he had expected it, Lu Chen was still amazed when he saw it with his own eyes.

This is simply a born hunter—super-fast movement, the ability to climb regardless of terrain, a body structure that can withstand falls from great heights without injury, plus the attack power and regenerative ability of an elite zombie.

If it had been this zombie cat instead of the elite zombie that came the night before last, Lu Chen felt they wouldn't have had much of a chance to survive.

"I feel that these zombie cats are much more dangerous than human zombies." At this moment, Shen Qingci walked over.

She stood next to Lu Chen, looking at the zombie cat squatting quietly on the ground, her tone unusually solemn, "Unless you have the corresponding superpower, it will be difficult to deal with it even if you have a gun."

Lu Chen nodded.

He and Shen Qingci were able to hit the cat from a distance of 50 meters thanks to their respective special abilities—he relied on his mental power, while the other relied on his detection ability.

But for normal humans, even seasoned veterans, tracking the cat's movements would be extremely difficult.

"I'm afraid we'll have to resort to firepower to cover it up," Lu Chen said.

Against these fast-moving zombies, individual shooting is extremely inefficient. The only way is to use crossfire to create a barrage and trade numbers for accuracy.

However, this also means extremely high ammunition consumption and firepower requirements, which ordinary small survivor teams simply cannot meet, even if they have firearms.

Capturing this zombie cat might be a good thing for him personally, but the emergence of such diverse zombie creatures is definitely detrimental to humanity as a whole.

This cat was the first non-human zombie he happened to encounter, and according to the military briefing, zombie bird flocks, zombie dog packs, and zombie rat swarms had already quietly taken shape in every corner of the city.

It's easy to imagine that other zombie creatures would also be extremely troublesome.

However, that's not something he needs to consider right now.

He shook his head, temporarily putting those thoughts aside, and looked at Shen Qingci, asking, "Have you finished counting the number of people?"

"Yes, the count is complete." Shen Qingci nodded and said, "There are a total of 110 survivors."

name."

"Regarding the zombies, we captured 6 Iron Pillar-level and 25 Strong-level zombies alive in the Green Bamboo Garden this morning. Including those that retired when you replaced the Iron Pillar-level zombies, the number of Strong-level zombies in reserve has now increased to 34."

Lu Chen couldn't help but smack his lips, and he quickly made a mental calculation.

因为手下的2只精英丧尸，就占据了6个控制名额，所以他目前控制的丧尸数量，减少到了26只————精英级2只、铁柱级14只、大壮级10只。

As for the reserve zombies, if we add the original 13 strong-level zombies locked in Xiangyang Community, the total number of strong-level reserve zombies is 47, which is enough for him to replace them several times.

Taking all this into consideration, Lu Chen immediately said, "Go to Sunshine Garden this afternoon and capture another batch of strong-class monsters. We won't need any more after that. Only the Iron Pillar-class monsters are worth taking action against."

If we keep capturing them, there will be too many reserve zombies, which will be very troublesome to manage. The room on the fourth floor is almost overflowing.

Shen Qingci nodded to indicate that she understood, closed the notebook, and put it into her coat pocket.

After the headcount was completed, Lu Chen ordered the return trip to begin.

Elite zombies and zombie cats immediately took the lead, with 14 Iron Pillar-level zombies lined up in two rows, protecting the 110 survivors in the middle.

Behind them were six large, strong zombies, dragging 34 reserve zombies who were tightly bound with nylon ropes.

The survivors, protected in such layers, immediately felt a strange sense of security.

This was the first time they had stepped out of the Cuizhu Garden residential complex since the apocalypse and walked on the streets outside.

The morning light shone on the asphalt road, the roller shutters of the shops on both sides were tightly locked, and occasionally they heard a zombie roar from the next block, and they subconsciously hunched their shoulders.

But seeing the towering, pillar-like zombies on both sides, and the elite zombie at the very front, the tension gradually subsided.

Then came the longing for the future base, wanting to know how Xiangyang Community is doing now.

They were naturally familiar with Xiangyang Community. The two communities were separated only by a two-way four-lane street, and they could usually see the residential community across the street as soon as they stepped out of their gate.

But when they looked over again, their expressions showed a slight surprise.

It's not because I saw anything, but because I couldn't see anything at all.

The view that could originally be seen through the iron fence, including the community square, green belt, and cobblestone path, was completely blocked by a colorful curtain.

The curtains were hung tightly from the inside of the fence, the different colors and patterns of the fabric pieced together like a huge patchwork wall.

The curtains billowed slightly in the morning breeze, but completely blocked the view from the outside.

After a brief moment of surprise, they immediately understood the benefits of doing so.

After blocking your view, you won't have to worry about attracting the attention of zombies outside when you move around in the neighborhood.

Of course, this is on the premise that there must be sufficiently strong military force as a guarantee.

Otherwise, these curtains are just psychological comfort—zombies won't stay away from coming in just because they can't see people; they'll still ram the door when they need to.

Only with the backing of military force can these protective measures truly be effective.
