Chapter 12 The Axeman

Bang!

Just as Bai Ye was wondering, the violent impact sounded again, followed by a violent tremor of the elevator. A large dent appeared on the elevator door, and the elevator suddenly dropped.

"Not good!"

Bai Ye realized something and quickly leaped to the side, stepping on the elevator wall and jumping upwards. He kicked open the inspection cover of the elevator, grabbed the edge with his hands, and flipped out of the elevator.

At this moment, Bai Ye felt an urge to cry. It felt good not to be a weakling. If it were him an hour ago, he wouldn't have been able to perform such a move even if he were beaten to death.

After climbing out of the elevator, Bai Ye didn't hesitate. He pushed off with both feet and leaped to the side, grabbing the iron ladder in the elevator shaft.

The instant Bai Ye finished, the elevator, unable to bear the weight any longer, plummeted downwards. Soon, a loud crash came from below, indicating that the elevator had been smashed flat.

Bai Ye climbed up a section, then grabbed the twisted elevator door and forced it open to the sides. As soon as the door opened, a man in his forties fell out. He was wearing a black, form-fitting martial arts outfit and seemed to be a chosen one from the martial arts world.

Bai Ye checked for a pulse, but the man was already dead.

Bai Ye looked back at the elevator door, noting the two huge dents, presumably caused by this man. However, a person wouldn't just randomly crash into an elevator door.

So, a fight had broken out?

Bai Ye quickly scanned his surroundings.

There was a small space in front of the elevator. The metal trash can and plants on the side had been smashed. To the side was the C area's office, with cubicles.

Suddenly...

"Eight-Armed Divine Fist!"

Bai Ye first heard a roar, followed by the "crash" of glass from a cubicle, shattering all over the floor. Then, a figure flew out.

The person looked to be in his mid-thirties, stout, and also wearing a martial arts outfit, clearly from the martial arts world. He was in a terrible state, with a wound on his chest that extended from his shoulder to his waist, revealing bone in places. He coughed up large amounts of blood after landing.

Bai Ye bared his teeth and said, "It seems the Eight-Armed Divine Fist isn't very effective."

The man on the ground saw Bai Ye and said with difficulty, "Be careful."

The moment the other person spoke, Bai Ye felt a gust of wind rushing towards him.

Almost instinctively, Bai Ye leaned back, pushed off with his legs, and leaped back two meters.

As Bai Ye leaped away, a giant axe flew past where he had been standing and embedded itself three inches into the wall.

"Roar, ah..."

A deep roar sounded. The office cubicle near the elevator suddenly collapsed, and a huge figure emerged, stepping on the shattered glass.

It was a terrifying-looking zombie, over two meters tall, with horrific muscles and rotting flesh. One eyeball hung outside its socket, swinging back and forth.

Bai Ye frowned. "Axe Holder?"

This thing had some background. It was a mutated zombie from viral experiments, though still a failed product. Umbrella Corporation wanted obedient zombies with self-awareness, so any zombie that lost its sanity was considered unsuccessful.

However, the mutated Axe Holder was quite strong. While not as powerful as the Tyrant, it was many times stronger than an ordinary zombie.

At the same time...

Seeing another person, the Axe Holder instinctively moved towards Bai Ye.

Bai Ye watched the Axe Holder with interest.

The man lying on the ground was on his last breath. Seeing the Axe Holder approaching, and Bai Ye standing still, he gritted his teeth and said, "Run, this guy's strength is very..."

The next moment...

The man's expression froze.

The Axe Holder raised its massive fist to smash down on Bai Ye's skull, but it didn't even touch him. The instant the Axe Holder attacked, Bai Ye suddenly raised his arm and grabbed its wrist!

The scene was incredibly bizarre. The Axe Holder's arm was thicker than Bai Ye's thigh, yet it was being held by the wrist, unmoving.

Bai Ye looked down at the man and asked, "Strength is very what?"

The man swallowed, speechless.

Just then...

A gust of wind swept towards Bai Ye again. The Axe Holder raised its left fist and swung it towards Bai Ye's face.

Facing a fist almost as big as his head, Bai Ye released the Axe Holder and leaped backward, nimbly dodging the punch.

The Axe Holder was considered the strongest zombie in Umbrella Corporation's underground base, aside from the Tyrant. However, Bai Ye found it not difficult to deal with.

Memories from his previous life were of great help. Bai Ye knew the Axe Holder's weakness.

This guy had immense strength and destructive power, but his only drawback was his slow speed, in fact, extremely slow!

Ordinary zombies already shambled and looked clumsy, but the Axe Holder was even slower. Therefore, its threat was not as great as imagined. At best, he could turn and run and likely escape.

So, the two lying on the ground had most likely thought they could defeat the Axe Holder and engaged it head-on, only to be crushed.

Meanwhile, the Axe Holder relentlessly pursued Bai Ye, swinging its fists, but Bai Ye easily evaded them.

This seemed to enrage the Axe Holder. It suddenly reached out, grabbed the giant axe embedded in the wall, and swung it viciously at Bai Ye.

Bang!

Bai Ye dodged to the side again. The giant axe struck the ground, denting the metal plate embedded in the floor and shattering a section of the ground below, sending stone fragments flying everywhere.

Bai Ye curled his lips, still showing no concern.

If it were in an open space, that giant axe would indeed be formidable. With the Axe Holder's strength and such a terrifying weapon, one swing could easily cleave a person in two.

However, the space in front of the elevator was not large. Such a massive weapon couldn't be wielded effectively. In Bai Ye's opinion, it was better to use its fists.

Thinking this, Bai Ye moved with small steps, constantly retreating, luring the Axe Holder towards the wall.

The next moment, the Axe Holder roared and swung the giant axe in its hand in a wide arc.

Bai Ye seized the opportunity and squatted down sharply.

Bang!

The giant axe swept over Bai Ye's head and struck the wall, then...

it got stuck!

The giant axe carved a huge gash in the wall, but because it was embedded too deeply, the axe blade got stuck in the wall.
