In Area 1521, at 5 a.m., Ming disconnected the four taunt machines of the connecting bridge. They were all group taunters, which were no longer useful for his upcoming plan. So, he turned them into experience points and selected three new single-target taunt puppets. He instructed them to sit in the car, ready to break through the encirclement, and head straight for the regional center using the old method.
Before long, they reached their destination. Ming got out of the car and observed the area through binoculars. The four five-star king-level zombies had almost been stripped clean, and the distance between them was about 30-50 meters.
Foodie deserved special praise for this.
Good boy～
Next, Ming and the three puppets crouched in a hidden corner and communicated their plan.
"Number 1, you taunt the black-haired Chinatown assassin Tony with his well-defined muscles."
ƥαṇdα- ηθνε|·ƈθm "Number 2, your target is the plump and fair-skinned Discriminator Hahn."
"Number 3, you taunt the tall, golden-haired Wall Street Wolf Payne."
"Remember, after taunting, run as far and as fast as you can. Never stop, even if your legs are broken, keep crawling!"
"Understood?"
"Hehe~"
The three puppets showed no expression.
"Go!"
"Hehe~"
The three puppets stood up simultaneously and headed toward their respective targets.
With the three puppets targeting their designated zombies, Ming decided to deal with the last one, the long-haired wandering singer, himself. But first, he had to wait for the three puppets to lure the other three five-star king-level zombies away.
Ming then checked his weapons and equipment, ensuring everything was ready.
Puppet Number 1 approached the Chinatown assassin, spat a mouthful of filthy blood at him, laughed twice, and turned to run.
Puppet Number 2 raised its middle finger at the white police officer zombie and then turned to flee.
Puppet Number 3 jumped up and slapped the Wall Street Wolf's face with a big slap, then started sprinting after landing.
"Well done," Ming praised while looking through his binoculars. This was the advantage of single-target taunting.
"Eh? Damn!"
"I got careless."
Puppet Number 1 was caught by the Chinatown assassin Tony, who trapped its head between his legs and unleashed a rapid chain of punches on its forehead. The puppet's head exploded, killing it instantly.
Ming understood that Tony the zombie's skill was actually Wing Chun!
Puppet Number 2 was killed by the zombie police officer, who crushed its head with his knee!
Puppet Number 3 suffered the worst fate. After running for a while, it jumped into a nearby chasm, and the Wall Street Wolf didn't even move a step.
[Your puppets 1, 2, and 3 have been destroyed]
"..." Ming leaned against the wall, realizing he had underestimated the five-star king-level zombies. Their basic attributes were far beyond the puppets.
The puppets didn't even have a chance to run after taunting, being caught and killed instantly. Moreover, the worst scenario Ming could imagine happened: the three puppets running in the same direction brought the four zombies together again!
Upon closer observation, Ming realized that close combat was not a good option against these four zombies. Their skills meant that close combat would end in a disastrous defeat.
"It looks like I'll have to spend some money."
"I'll blast you to pieces from a distance!"
Ming immediately stood up and found a weak zombie near the center. He bridged the zombie, taught it how to drive, and charged it a tuition fee. His plan was simple: he had plenty of money now, and he could afford the 10,000 gold coins needed for each car bomb!
"You are now the new Number 1."
Ming crouched down with the zombie and told it, "Remember, you must park the car in the middle of those four zombies. After you get out of the car, run back here. Understand?"
"Hehe~"
"..."
Ming realized that he could issue commands to the puppets, but he couldn't understand their feedback. It seemed that the Puppeteer profession still had its flaws.
"Go ahead~ Remember what I just said."
"Hehe~"
The zombie sat in the driver's seat, slowly fastening its seatbelt... checking the gears... turning the key... looking at the instrument panel...
"Can you be any faster?" Ming glanced at the system time, knowing that he couldn't afford to waste any more time.
"Hehe~"
The zombie tilted its head in response and suddenly drove the car out.
"You didn't close the door."
Bang! Crack! Crash! The car door scraped against a crooked wall, hit a plastic trash can, and sent a wandering zombie flying.
"Damn it!"
Ming was startled, genuinely afraid that the noise would attract the four five-star zombies.
Roaring noises indicated that the new Number 1 puppet had floored the accelerator. The car crushed debris and rubble, bumpily charging toward the five-star zombies.
"..."
Ming watched through the binoculars, silently taking out his phone. The four five-star zombies heard the noise and charged toward the car as a group.
He no longer expected the new Number 1 to return. "Since you've chosen death... I'll send you on your way."
The four five-star zombies were 200 meters away from the car.
100... 50... 10... 5...
"Rest in peace, new Number 1!"
Ming pressed his phone... and lay flat on the ground...
Boom! A massive explosion and shockwave came almost simultaneously, followed by a wave of heat.
Ming covered his ears, shedding the harmful sound waves generated by the explosion. Debris, stones, and leaves danced like mad under the impact of the shockwave.
Rustle!
Crash!
Grass, dirt, and branches fell to the ground.
"Tui~"
Ming raised his head amidst the dust, coming face to face with a naked zombie lying opposite him.
[Savage Chinatown Assassin Tony Li]
[Defense Value: 4982/10000]
"Pay up!" Ming quickly handed over the prescription, never expecting that the car bomb does not blast the zombie right in front of him, with its defense value not reduced to zero and still intact!
Ding~ Received 3000 gold coins.
"Hehe!" The zombie was about to get up, propping itself up on its hands...
"Don't be in a hurry to get up, lie down for a while longer~"
While handing over the broken bowl, Ming quickly injected Tony with a hallucinogenic drug, causing hallucinations for 2 seconds.
Tony's dark purple eyes instantly dimmed, and he lay on the ground, dog-paddling in place, stirring up clouds of dust.
"Hallucinating to swimming?"
Ming quickly got up and looked toward the center of the area. The other three zombies were gone, and there was no trace of them in the surroundings. It seemed that the explosion had sent them flying and had worked!
"!!!"
Ming suddenly felt dizzy and heard a heartbreaking sound:
[You have invested 2 million gold coins. In ten seconds, it will be determined whether the investment is successful or a failure.]
"What— the— hell—!!"
Splash! The sound of a heartbreaking! He dodged a punch aimed at the back of his head, kicked the ground with his right leg, and lunged forward. Looking back, he saw:
[Greedy Wall Street Wolf Ropen]
[Defense Value: 6291/10000]
[Exclusive Skill: I'll Make Money for You. When used on a single target, as a god-level trader, the target believes in your abilities and will invest a certain proportion of their gold coins. If the investment fails, the target will hallucinate for 10 seconds. If the investment is successful, the target will continue to invest a certain proportion of their gold coins until they go bankrupt!]
"What— the— f—!!"
Ming started running! The investment success or failure determination time was 10 seconds. If it failed, he would fall into 10 seconds of hallucination. If successful, he would continue to invest money.
This skill was truly ridiculous and twisted! Run! He had to run first!
As he ran, Ming threw a stack of spiked traps behind him and activated Extreme Evasion. With his agility more than tripled, no zombie could match his speed!
Now, he had only one thought in his mind: Run!
[All-Channel Morning News: 1. Tomorrow, large-scale heavy rainfall will occur globally, with high acidity in the rainwater.
