Chapter 3: Killing a Level 4 Crawling Zombie!
"That powerful?"
Huang Deren, who was hiding in the cubicle, was shocked.
He thought that the zombies would kill Wang Chen, but he didn't expect Wang Chen to be able to kill that creature so easily.
Moreover, looking at the effects, Wang Chen's lethality was not much inferior to Zhao Tie's Rank 2 Skill.
'Wait a little longer. If Wang Chen doesn't die, I'm still safe,' Huang Deren thought to himself and shrank back.
At times like this, he had to preserve his strength as much as possible to increase his chances of survival.
On the other hand, after Wang Chen killed the zombie, he received a new notification.
[Killed Level 1 Zombie, EXP +1! Spirit Points +1!]
EXP was naturally used to level up. Every time a Descendant leveled up, they could obtain free Attribute Points and Skill Points.
According to the system, Spirit Points were the currency of the apocalyptic world.
Seeing Wang Chen kill a zombie with a steel pipe, Zhao Tie, who had been in despair, saw hope again.
He struggled with all his might and wailed, "Wang Chen, Brother Wang! Please save me! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
However, Wang Chen turned a deaf ear to him.
After joining the battle, he realized that the levels of all the zombies were revealed. Most of the zombies were on Level 1, but the one that had pounced on Zhao Tie was much stronger.
[Crawling Zombie (Elite)]
[Level: 4]
[Basic Attributes: ?]
[Skill: ?]
The monster's attribute panel was a little simpler than the Descendant's.
"I'm afraid a Level 4 Elite monster won't be easy to deal with." Wang Chen immediately decided to deal with the other zombies first.
If it was really convenient, he wouldn't mind saving Zhao Tie's life. However, in this situation, he didn't dare to take any risks.
Roar!
Another zombie lunged at him. Wang Chen raised the steel pipe and smashed the zombie's head.
[Killed Level 1 Zombie, EXP +1! Spirit Points +1!]
A normal level-one zombie had Strength of about 1.5 and Agility of 0.8. They were nothing but targets in front of him.
Bang! Bang!
Muffled sounds echoed in the building.
In less than a minute, Wang Chen had killed more than ten zombies.
At this moment, Zhao Tie was finally divided among the zombies.
The crawling zombie, covered in blood, raised its head and stared at Wang Chen with its yellow and white eyes. Its four limbs suddenly bounced and it turned into a phantom, suddenly jumping in front of him.
Wang Chen saw the opportunity and slammed the steel pipe down hard.
Bang!
The steel pipe hit the head of the crawling zombie, and a terrifying force exploded, directly smashing its head and sending its corpse flying, knocking down a large number of zombies that were charging at him.
[Killed Level 4 Crawling Zombie, EXP +20! Spirit Points +10!]
[You have been upgraded to Level 2!]
[Obtained 3 free Attribute Points and 2 Skill Points!]
[You can allocate free Attribute Points and Skill Points to increase your strength!]
"Strength +3!"
Wang Chen didn't even think about it and directly increased his strength by three points.
Among the few basic attributes he had now, strength was the most obvious to increase.
Moreover, the feeling of destroying everything with a steel pipe was really good.
At this time, he also obtained the stats of the crawling zombie.
[Basic Attributes: Strength (3), Stamina (?), Agility (4), Charisma (1.2)]
There were no Spirit or Luck attributes, and the Stamina attributes were unknown.
Wang Chen was not surprised by this.
After all, zombies were like cockroaches that couldn't be killed unless their vital parts were attacked.
However, its defense was very weak. Not to mention steel pipes, even a fist could break through its defense.
Therefore, it was difficult to define the attributes of zombies.
'However, a level 4 elite monster is actually so weak,' he thought again.
The crawling zombie's attributes were far inferior to his.
However, when he thought about how he could only get 2 skill points for every level-up, Wang Chen felt relieved.
His [Strength] skill was directly upgraded to level 20. Even though it only required 1 skill point to level up, he still needed 11 levels to accumulate enough skill points to level up his [Strength] to level 20.
He suspected that when the skill level increased, the skill points needed to level up would definitely increase.
At this moment, Huang Deren finally decided to make a move.
Wang Chen's strength was far beyond his expectations. Moreover, Wang Chen seemed to be very interested in killing zombies. He judged that killing monsters would definitely be beneficial.
In a situation where there was no danger, he naturally did not mind taking action.
"Djinni, kill him!"
Huang Deren waved his hand.
The Djinni immediately raised its hand and released wind blades, slashing at the zombies.
The power of the wind blades was immense. Many zombies had their limbs cut off and their mobility was greatly reduced.
This way, Wang Chen's speed of clearing the zombies became much faster.
In less than two minutes, the remaining zombies were all killed.
Wang Chen checked his harvest.
After this battle, he gained 56 EXP and 46 spirit points.
Leveling up to Level 2 cost 30 EXP, leaving 26 points.
Huang Deren had also killed eight or nine zombies.
He walked out under the protection of the Djinni and said with a smile, "Wang! If it had just been me, I really wouldn't have known what to do. It's so dangerous here. Why don't we move together next?"
Wang Chen looked at Zhao Tie's bloody remains and sneered, "Let's go our separate ways! Zhao Tie has been with you for more than a decade. Even a dog should have developed feelings for you!"
Huang Deren's heart was as cold as steel. He had watched as Zhao Tie was bitten to death without any reaction. Wang Chen did not want to fight side by side with such a person. He might be sold out at any time!
"Wasn't there no other way? If he got bitten, even if I attack, he might not be able to survive." Huang Deren forced a smile.
"Alright, you don't have to explain. I didn't say you did anything wrong. Under such circumstances, those who think for others are the ones who have a problem with their brains."
He paused and said, "Oh, right, I don't want anyone to follow me either. I'm a coward. I might treat you as a monster."
With that, Wang Chen carried the steel pipe and walked up to the roof.
"You don't know how to appreciate favors. I have a Rank 3 skill. Do you really think I would ask you for help?" Huang Deren looked at Wang Chen's back with an uncertain expression.
He hesitated for a moment but didn't dare to follow him. He brought the Djinni down the stairs carefully.
On the roof, Wang Chen looked into the distance.
The unfinished building under his feet was at the edge of the city.
The surrounding area was a wasteland overgrown with weeds, and there were only a few scattered zombies wandering around.
The roars of zombies could be heard from the depths of the city.
'Although it's dangerous, we still have to go,' Wang Chen silently thought to himself.
He needed food, and there was nothing edible in the nearby wastelands.
In addition, he also needed to kill monsters to increase his strength.
If there were Level 4 Elite zombies, there would be Level 10 Elite zombies.
If he was content with the current situation, he would sooner or later encounter an invincible enemy and die an unnatural death.
At this moment, he saw Huang Deren walking alone with the Djinni towards the west side of the city where the buildings were sparse.
The fewer buildings there were, the fewer people there were, and the fewer zombies there were.
After thinking for a while, Wang Chen chose the eastern part of the city.
The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
With his strength, he was qualified to take the risk.
After straightening the steel pipe covered in zombie flesh, Wang Chen went downstairs and headed toward the city.
After passing through a 300-meter wasteland, Wang Chen arrived at the city area.
As soon as he arrived, he saw a large group of monsters.
Hundreds of rotten zombie cats were gathered under a bridge and stared at him.
The leader of the group was a mutated Maine Coon zombie. It looked as big as a leopard.
