Urlgug hesitated a bit before continuing: "There is a rather special zombie with them; its body is much taller than its peers."

    Noan didn''t find it strange when he heard that. After all, with such a large group of zombies, there would definitely be an evolved zombie.

    "Take me there, let me see" Noah ordered.

    Urlgug nodded, then brought him and Vylyss to a collapsed building. Thanks to its cover, they could see a herd of zombies in the distance.

    More specifically, Noah could see a zombie that was physically superior to the other zombies around.

    It was over two meters tall, and its body showed no signs of decay. On the contrary, its skin had turned a golden grey as if it were cast from solid bronze.

    But the striations of his muscles were extremely clear; there was no hair on its head, and its black eyes looked extremely scary.

    Noan frowned and muttered, "It''s a Zombie Tanker."

    "Tanker?" Vylyss asked from the side.

    "That''s right." Noan explained, "Its strength is quite similar to Urlgan''s; its outer skin is extremely tough; even swords or guns cannot penetrate its skin."

    "Besides, its strength is also extremely enormous. Although it is only over two meters tall, it can lift an object weighing tens of tonnes."

    "However, it is not as perfect as the zombie Hunter; its speed is very low, like a tank. It has high attack power but low speed."

    "But... we shouldn''t underestimate it either. Its rank is D, but because its outer skin is almost impenetrable, its fighting power is extremely terrifying."

    "Moreover, with such a large group of zombies, there must be other zombie lickers hiding around."

    Vylyss and Urlgug nodded slightly upon hearing this. Although they had not witnessed the true power of the Zombie Tanker, hearing Noan''s words, they knew clearly how dangerous that zombie was.

    "Let''s go... Let''s find another place." Noan said softly.

    Although these zombies were very attractive, if he destroyed all of them, at the very least, he could find 50-100 F-rank energy crystals.

    However, he did not want to take any risks. Currently, Urlgug, Vylyss, and the E-rank Skeleton behind him were all ADC types, with almost zero resistance.

    And him? Even though he is a lord, he has no fighting power.

    At least, in the current situation, he could only hunt normal zombies.

    Suddenly, Vylyss sensed something and hurriedly shouted: "Master!"

    Before Noan could realise what was happening, Vylyss pushed him away, and immediately after, a terrible whistling sound was heard.

    Whoosh!

    BAM!

    Noan only heard the sound of an explosion, then blood splattered everywhere, even splashing onto his face.

    His eyes seemed to enlarge as he saw that Vylyss''s shoulder was seriously injured due to shielding him.

    "Vylyss!" Noan shouted, he quickly hugged Vylyss into his arms.

    Her beautiful, flawless shoulder was now a mess of blood and flesh. He even saw that her shoulder blade was shattered, causing her arm to no longer move.

    Vylyss tried to raise her head, looked at him, and smiled happily: "Master, are you okay?"

    Just now, the zombies were moving aimlessly, but upon hearing the Tanker zombie''s roar as if hearing an order, they immediately looked towards Noan''s group.

    Urlgug knew that if he did nothing, even if he ran, he would not be able to escape, so he swung the stick in his hand.

    The skull of the antelope-like creature tied to the end of a stick emitted a faint glow, and a stream of smoke came billowing from the skull''s eye sockets.

    In just a few seconds, a thick fog-like smoke covered a large area.

    "Master... follow me." Urlgug immediately walked closer to Noan, speaking softly.

    The bow-wielding skeleton also followed them like a machine, without any thoughts.

    At this moment, the zombie tanker stood still, looking towards the thick smoke, not moving nor making any sound.

    However, from his ears and nose, small tentacles extended out, like the tentacles of an octopus, then retracted back into the Zombie Tanker''s head, completely disappearing.

    ...

    Noan carried Vylyss on his back; although his strength had increased a lot, his stamina was limited.

    Running more than 4 kilometres was a bit tiring, although he could still continue running, his speed had decreased a lot.

    Whoosh!

    Suddenly, the sound of wind whistling rang out. Noah heard this sound and instinctively bent down.

    His body lost balance, and he fell with Vylyss.

    BAM!

    A rock flew past him, hitting the ground not far in front of Noah, causing a deafening explosion.

    Noan shuddered; if he hadn''t fallen just now, that rock would have smashed his head.

    Vylyss lay on the ground; she was in so much pain that sweat was pouring out of her, but she still tried to say: "Master, you run first; I can run after you."

    "Shut up!" Noan shouted; he naturally understood what Vylyss wanted to do.

    She didn''t want to be Noan''s drag, keeping him stuck in this place.

    She wanted to sacrifice herself to buy him time to escape.

    Noan angrily said: "I will not abandon you. Not now, and definitely not in the future."

    When Vylyss heard that, although she was suffering from pain, her heart felt extremely warm, and her eyes were wet as if she was about to cry.

    Noan also did not pay attention to Vylyss''s expression; he looked into the distance but did not see the Tanker zombie.

    Even without seeing the monster, Noan knew it was definitely nearby.

    "Urlgug, how much energy do you have left?" Noan asked as he picked Vylyss up.

    Seeing her shoulder now covered with dirt and sand, it would probably cause her much more pain, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

    "Master, I still have a lot of energy, but if this continues, even if I expend all my energy, I still won''t be able to resist."

    Noan frowned, feeling hopeless. Suddenly, he remembered something; looking at the skeleton holding the bow, a strange thought appeared in his mind.
