Shawn affectionately called this type of Walker a Fatty.
The name fit its form, truly.
Do you remember?
Shawn had already encountered this type of Mutated Corpse when he conquered the 4-star difficulty Prison.
It had one more ability than the usual fast-moving berserk Walkers: a close-range explosion that caused damage when it encountered enemies.
All the bones inside the Fatty's body were its best weapons; the lethality caused by a close-range explosion was absolutely no less than a grenade blast.
But it was also because of that previous experience that Shawn understood the Fatty Walker's fatal flaw!
As the saying goes, it lives by explosion, and it dies by explosion.
The explosion formed by the Fatty Walker's self-inflation was uncontrolled.
The moment its Blood Bar was cleared, it would also explode.
The damage caused by the explosion could inflict the same damage on any other unit.
In other words, as long as the distance was maintained, these Fatty Walkers were natural, additive-free human-shaped grenades walking among the horde of Walkers!
"The fourth Blood Moon has a second type of Mutated Corpse? Closer... a little closer."
Through the tactical assault rifle's iron sights, Shawn's gaze was fixed on the breached third layer of Electric Barrier, and he began to count silently in his heart.
"3..."
"2..."
"1..."
The moment Shawn's voice fell, the Fatty Walker had just crossed the broken third layer of Electric Barrier lying on the ground, its position right in the center of the entire horde of Walkers.
Shawn squinted his eyes, which glowed red, and sharply pulled the trigger.
7.62mm bullets poured out of the tactical assault rifle, haphazardly distributed across every part of the Fatty Walker's bloated body.
Approximately 15 bullets hit its body, and the Blood Bar above its head finally cleared.
The Fatty Walker immediately stopped, its body, which was already larger than that of ordinary Walkers, instantly swelled by another 2 times!
Its left and right feet shuffled back and forth twice, looking like a penguin that had just learned to walk.
But in the next second...
Bang--!
The Fatty Walker's flesh finally could not hold on any longer, and its entire body burst open during the continuous expansion!
Blood and gore turned into a concealing mist, while the true killing intent was hidden behind it in the form of sharp bone spikes.
All of its bones shattered into fragments, piercing in all directions!
Just this wave of power caused Shawn to level up again, and the Blood Bar of the Mutated Corpse not far from his original position suddenly dropped below half health!
This attack caused considerable damage, but it also inadvertently destroyed the fourth and fifth Electric Barrier defense lines.
When the horde of Walkers broke through the sixth, and last, Electric Barrier defense line that Shawn had set up, the entire Mutated Corpse horde was already less than a hundred.
Shawn, along with the army's sustained output, firmly suppressed the Mutated Corpse horde, so much so that more than half of them were lost before they even got within 50 meters of the Prison's high wall!
Breaking through the last Electric Barrier defense line, the Mutated Corpses began to crash into the scattered wooden barricades.
Walkers had no brains and did not know how to avoid.
The wooden barricades, using the force of their forward charge, directly penetrated the Mutated Corpses' abdomens, fixing them in place for a moment.
But Mutated Corpses were Mutated Corpses, far beyond what ordinary Walkers could compare to.
They were so berserk that they actually dragged the wooden barricades that had pierced their abdomens forward.
Shawn took all this in, but he was not flustered in the slightest.
"If they can slow down their advance, these wooden barricades haven't lost their value in being placed."
"Still want to bite me now?"
"Before you get within 20 meters of the Prison, I'll take you all down!"
The voice came from Shawn's throat, like a blade dipped in ice.
The tactical assault rifle in his hand swept continuously, and as the Mutated Corpses gradually approached, close-range shooting became easier.
Whenever the tactical assault rifle was used intensively, and its durability dropped sharply due to short-term overexertion, Shawn would use a 'repair tool'.
Manufacturing 'repair tools' was not difficult for Shawn now.
In fact, 'repair tools' were almost one of the basic supplies, and Shawn did not feel bad about using them.
The tactical assault rifle fired wildly without stopping, coupled with the 'Gunner' skill he had previously invested points in.
The damage directly increased from 53 points for quality one to 58.3, which was even better than 7.62mm hollow-point bullets.
Taking down ordinary Walkers was often a one-shot affair.
Even when facing Mutated Corpses, no matter where they were hit, he could resolve them within 5 shots!
Coupled with the gun formation of the army members lined up in a long snake formation, Shawn tried his best to control the damage to harvest Mutated Corpses with low health among the horde of Walkers.
The prompt "Experience + 1200" almost never stopped.
And the more this happened, the more excited Shawn became.
This Blood Moon was equivalent to another half-trip to the deep pit, plus the ordinary horde of Walkers brought by The Whisperers before, the improvement for Shawn was truly significant!
"Cease fire!"
At Shawn's command, after the smoke on the wall, the long guns that had been continuously spitting flames gradually stopped.
Aiming at the Mutated Corpse whose legs had been blown off but was still stubbornly crawling towards him, Shawn squinted his left eye and aimed.
One shot, whoosh--
It hit the concrete ground next to their arm, leaving a black mark on the ground.
The Mutated Corpse looked around blankly and then continued to crawl forward.
Another shot, whoosh--
The bullet grazed the top of the Mutated Corpse's head, and this time the Mutated Corpse didn't even stop for a moment.
Shawn silently withdrew his tactical assault rifle, ignored the surprised looks from those around him, and, holding his Crescent Blade, went outside the gate and finished off the Mutated Corpses with a few slashes.
Opening the 'Blood Bar MOD' and looking around, Shawn then took the opportunity to harvest the Mutated Corpses hidden and buried by the bodies.
The blade pierced the chest of the last Mutated Corpse, its Blood Bar instantly cleared, and it was lifeless.
Shawn could even clearly see that at this moment, the world changed color again, and everything around him became clear, returning to its usual state.
Even the red light that glowed in the eyes of these Mutated Corpses was completely withdrawn at this moment.

The moment a relaxed and pleasant music sounded, the bloody red light in Shawn's eyes gradually faded until it completely disappeared.
The rewards for clearing this Blood Moon appeared directly before his eyes.
But Shawn was not in a hurry to check the rewards; instead, he wandered among the countless Mutated Corpse bodies.
On the surface, he seemed to be finishing off the Walker bodies, but in reality, Shawn was searching for reward packs from the body bags and, while he was at it, using 'Search' on these Mutated Corpses.
