Chapter 36 Captured alive
The elite zombies at this point were no longer at their peak.
After nearly five minutes of intense fighting, the red light on its body began to weaken noticeably, changing from a dazzling dark red to a dim, flickering glow.
As its injuries worsened, its strength and speed decreased.
The horde of zombies had surrounded it long ago, with 10 zombies blocking every escape route at the corner of the stairs.
No matter which direction the elite zombies charge in, there will always be a cannon fodder zombie blocking their way.
That cannon fodder would risk its life completely, using its arms and body as roadblocks, just to slow it down.
Even if this time is only a second or two, the knives of Tiezhu, Erzhu, and the other zombies will slash at its vital points from all directions.
Whether it chooses to attack or dodge, it will take three or four more blows for every step it takes to advance.
Of course, Lu Chen's side has also paid a heavy price. Since the start of the war, 15 zombies have died on his side.
If it weren't for the 30-odd backup zombies on the fourth floor, his horde would have collapsed.
But there are no ifs. Nearly half of the reserve zombies remain unused, while the elite zombies are nearing their limit.
The victory is already secured!
In fact, if Lu Chen hadn't deliberately held back to prevent the horde from attacking the elite zombie's head in order to capture it alive, the elite zombie would already be a corpse.
In the blink of an eye, another 3 minutes have passed!
The elite zombie killed five more cannon fodder zombies. At first, it could tear open throats with a claw and shatter skulls with a punch, but later it could only use brute force to knock the cannon fodder aside.
In the end, it almost ran out of strength to even smash through the cannon fodder.
It has almost no intact skin left on its body, with hundreds of wounds of all sizes all over its body.
boom!
Lu Chen controlled the iron pillar to rush forward and kicked the elite zombie hard in the back of its knee. The kick was accurate and powerful, hitting the most vulnerable ligament in the back of the knee.
Tie Zhu's kick bent its knee, causing its entire body to sway violently, almost causing it to kneel on the steps.
"Go!" Lu Chen gave the order.
Three cannon fodder zombies rushed forward, spreading their arms and pouncing on the elite zombie, pressing down with their entire body weight.
Originally, this was just a test. Elite zombies would either dodge or withstand such an attack.
Unexpectedly, this elite zombie had truly reached its limit. It was pounced on by three zombies at the same time, its body swayed twice, its knees finally bent completely, and then its entire body crashed to the ground.
The massive body, over 2 meters tall, collapsed onto the stair steps with a dull thud, causing dust to fall from the walls.
It was still struggling desperately on the ground, waving its still-functioning arm, trying to push away the zombie that was pressing down on it.
But at this moment, its strength was no longer enough to break free from the suppression of the three zombies.
There's not much to say after seeing this.
Lu Chen waved his hand, and the remaining zombies swarmed forward.
Iron Pillar pressed down on its back, Second Pillar held down its still-movable arm, Third and Fourth Pillars held down its two legs respectively, and several cannon fodder zombies piled on top, pinning the elite zombie firmly to the stair steps.
"Rope!" Lu Chen shouted.
Shen Qingci immediately threw the nylon rope that she had prepared beforehand at him; the rope was a thicker version.
Lu Chen caught the rope and tossed it to Da Zhuang, while simultaneously switching to possessed mode.
He controlled Dazhuang to pick up the nylon rope and squat down next to the elite zombie.
First, tie the legs, then the body, starting from the waist and working upwards, binding the arms together with the torso to ensure the other person has no room to exert force.
Finally, the arms and wrists were tied behind the back with a separate piece of rope, with three or four tight knots.
The entire elite zombie was bound up like a dumpling.
This victory was won with great difficulty.
If it weren't for that batch of reserve zombies used as cannon fodder tonight, and if his mental strength hadn't been enhanced beforehand, the one lying on the ground now wouldn't be this elite zombie, but himself.
Everyone witnessed firsthand the power of the elite zombies. The survivors standing at the corner on the third floor had expressions that, in addition to the relief of surviving the ordeal, also carried a lingering sense of fear.
You should know that the zombies under Lu Chen's command were all carefully selected.
Even those so-called "cannon fodder" are definitely among the strongest of the ordinary zombies.
Not to mention that they were all equipped with weapons and armor, which narrowed the gap between them and elite zombies.
In other words, if it were just ordinary zombies facing off against these elite zombies, it would probably take hundreds of them to defeat just one elite zombie.
However, the stronger the elite zombie, the greater the benefits of controlling it.
Looking at the elite zombie that was completely bound, Lu Chen walked down the stairs step by step and approached it.
Even though this elite zombie was tightly bound with nylon rope, he was still quite cautious.
He first had five zombies surround it, pinning the elite zombie's limbs and head firmly to the steps, ensuring it didn't even have room to twist its neck.
Only after confirming that there was no possibility of escape did Lu Chen approach the other party, squat down, and place his palm on the elite zombie's waist.
However, he cannot use his special abilities yet because his quota for controlling zombies has been filled.
But it's okay!
While maintaining the palm-pressing posture towards the elite zombie, Lu Chen issued a command to the weakest zombie in the horde through the connection in his mind.
The zombie stepped out of the group, walked up the stairs to Gao Yuan and the others, then turned its back to them and clasped its hands behind its back.
"Tie it up!" Lu Chen ordered.
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized what was happening.
He grabbed the nylon rope from the ground and, along with a few others, quickly bound the zombie's wrists, arms, and legs.
Lu Chen immediately released control over it, and the thread connecting his mind to the zombie gently broke, instantly creating an extra control slot.
Immediately afterwards, his superpower traveled up his arm, through his fingertips, into the elite zombie, and then quickly surged towards its head, beginning to take control.
However, Lu Chen noticed something was wrong from the very beginning. After his superpower entered the other person's body, it no longer flowed smoothly into the brain, but instead felt like it was stuck in a viscous swamp, consuming a lot of energy for every inch it advanced.
Furthermore, outside the brain of the elite zombie, there is a barrier constructed of dark red energy. When his superpowers try to penetrate this barrier, they are constantly dissipated and repelled.
Controlling elite zombies is at least 10 times more difficult than controlling ordinary zombies.
It should be noted that Lu Chen had just controlled more than a dozen extra zombies in order to implement the cannon fodder tactic, and his internal superpowers were almost exhausted.
Now, facing an elite zombie whose control difficulty has increased tenfold, he suddenly felt his head go heavy, his temples throbbed, and he occasionally felt dizzy.
"This won't do!" Lu Chen stopped decisively and withdrew his hand from the elite zombie's waist.
"If I try to control it by force, my powers will probably be exhausted before they even break through the opponent's defenses, and I might even suffer a backlash."
The expressions on the faces of the people surrounding him tightened when they saw Lu Chen suddenly stop.
"I'm fine!" Lu Chen stood up and waved his hand. "It's just that my superpower was too depleted, and I couldn't control it for a moment. Go get some food so I can rest for a bit."
Hearing this, everyone felt slightly relieved.
