After reviewing the attribute list of the Gamma Type Hunter, Zhang Yanhang threw a grenade directly into its mouth. Because the energy shield was still stuck, he was forced to witness an up-close grenade explosion.
With a violent explosion, a great deal of flames and metal shards struck the energy shield, causing the shield value to drop by a notch. Then, there was no ’then,’ as by this time, Zhang Yanhang had already received the kill notification.
In scenarios , where the grenade exploded inside the body, even a Second Order One Star Prototype Tyrant would be severely wounded, let alone a First Tier Three Star monster like the Gamma Type Hunter.

Judging only by the attribute list, the Gamma Type Hunter seemed to be a bit stronger than the Beta-type Hunter, but its strongest weapon was also its biggest weakness.
Although the body of the Gamma Type Hunter was covered with slippery mucus and there was a lot of thick fat and muscle beneath its skin, providing substantial damage reduction against bullets and punches, the interior of its oral cavity was still quite vulnerable, and the oral cavity led directly to its internal organs, where the body was even more fragile.
More importantly, the Gamma Type Hunter only attacked by opening its oral cavity to consume its enemies. Therefore, just by taking the opportunity to attack the inside of its oral cavity, one could easily kill it. Overall, the Gamma Type Hunter was quite easy to deal with, as long as one grasped the right timing and rhythm of the attack.
Of course, with Zhang Yanhang’s current strength, he didn’t really need to worry about the Gamma Type Hunter’s weaknesses. A casual swing would kill it, and just like how he had previously torn apart zombies with his bare hands, tearing apart a Gamma Type Hunter wouldn’t be a problem.
However, Zhang Yanhang felt that this Gamma Type Hunter was somewhat different from the ones in the game. In the game, there were actually two types of Gamma Type Hunters. One looked like a frog with complete limbs connected by webbed feet, its body dark green with a long tongue.
It could be said that the first type of Gamma Type Hunter, in both appearance and combat style, was just like a frog—just a magnified one that could also walk upright.
Then there was the second type of Gamma Type Hunter that Zhang Yanhang had just encountered, with flesh-colored skin and a huge oral cavity with four flaps filled with sharp teeth, whose only attack method was to open its huge mouth and directly swallow the enemy into its stomach.
But this second type of Gamma Type Hunter didn’t have a tongue, yet Zhang Yanhang had just been wrapped up by the Gamma Type Hunter’s tongue before being brought to its mouth, and that tongue was quite long, entangling Zhang Yanhang from a distance of seven or eight meters.
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang thought that the Gamma Type Hunter in the Ashen World was likely a mixture of the two versions, resulting in a third version unique to the Ashen World, combining the advantages of both previous versions, such as thick skin and a long tongue.
Standing in front of the charred corpse of the Gamma Type Hunter, Zhang Yanhang followed his usual practice and waited a few seconds, and a Green treasure box of the same quality as the Beta-type Hunter appeared in mid-air. After picking up the treasure box, Zhang Yanhang continued to move forward.
Zhang Yanhang had actually planned to turn into a side passage just now. Although he had already scanned the distant Gamma Type Hunter, his initial thought was to take the detour first, clear the zombies inside, and then head to the main path where the Gamma Type Hunter was located. However, due to its aggressive nature, the Gamma Type Hunter couldn’t wait to come over and "deliver its head" upon encountering Zhang Yanhang. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveIꜰire.net
So, after taking down the Gamma Type Hunter, Zhang Yanhang could finally turn into that side passage to clear the zombies. The detour wasn’t very long and was only home to five zombies.
"At first, when I came down here, I thought clearing the sewers would be easy. With ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil,’ I was sure I wouldn’t get lost. But while I indeed didn’t get lost, these side passages are really annoying."
Zhang Yanhang had always thought that the sewer passages in Raccoon City were interlinked. But to his surprise, while the main pipes did indeed connect, there were numerous side passages that were dead ends. Moreover, they were often quite winding, yet they were populated with quite a few zombies, so he had no choice but to clear them.
Thus, now Zhang Yanhang found it easy to clear the main routes but the opposite when it came to side passages. He had to keep ’Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil’ constantly active to ensure he didn’t get lost, which required a lot of his physical strength.
Having already exhausted a significant amount of physical strength from taking down twenty Prototype Tyrants, he hadn’t fully recovered yet. Now, being further drained here made Zhang Yanhang quite irritable.
For Zhang Yanhang at the moment, clearing the sewers wasn’t something he was eager to do. The place was not only dark, smelly, and confusing, but monsters were also scarce. He would often walk a long distance before encountering an ordinary zombie, making the efficiency of hunting monsters very low, with no comparison to the surface of Raccoon City.
Thus, Zhang Yanhang’s only evaluation of the sewers was that they were a chicken rib: tasteless, yet a pity to discard.
But even though they really were like a chicken rib with not much value, Zhang Yanhang still had to waste a lot of time to clear the area because only by doing so could he earn higher Evaluation Level Ashen Treasure Boxes.
He had already gone through a great deal of hardships to clear the surface parts of Raccoon City, and with victory just three steps away, how could he let go just because the sewers were somewhat of a chicken rib?
Therefore, Zhang Yanhang could only drag his tired body and forcefully muster his spirit to continue cleaning the sewers, "Though it’s really tiring, I still have to try and persevere. Perhaps, this is the stubbornness of an adult."
Zhang Yanhang persisted in running through the dark and quiet sewers, splashing large pools of dirty water and solid waste along the way. From time to time, solid waste at a peculiar angle would be thrown onto the top of the Energy Shield and plant itself there, but at such times, Zhang Yanhang would manage his Energy Shield to repel it because having such things atop his head was rather inauspicious.
He would only momentarily stop his advancement when he encountered a zombie or a Gamma Type Hunter. After defeating a monster, he would stand still for a few seconds, primarily to wait for the treasure box but also to seize an opportunity to recover some physical strength.
