Chapter 9: Slaughtering Zombies!
Chapter 9: Slaughtering Zombies!
About a hundred meters away, a group of Descenders used all their strength to flee in panic.
A fat man lost his balance and fell to the ground, breaking his knees and elbows. He tried a few times but couldn't stand up.
"Ah! Someone help me!" Fatty shouted in fear.
However, those people only cared about running for their lives. No one stopped at all.
Thump! Dong!
The dense footsteps not far behind him made the fear in Fatty's heart even stronger. His hands and feet were weak, and he could not stand up no matter what.
"Aren't we together? Save me! Save me! I beg you!" Fatty shouted at the top of his lungs, but those people still only cared about running forward.
Just as Fatty was in despair, a burly figure appeared in front of him, grabbed his arm, and pulled him up.
Wang Chen didn't mind taking action for this kind of convenience.
"Thank you! Thank you!" Fatty muttered softly.
For some reason, he regained his strength after standing up.
"Let's go!"
After Wang Chen finished speaking, he rushed straight toward the elephant statues in front of him.
"Don't go there. There are zombies!" Fatty was stunned and shouted anxiously.
Wang Chen ignored him.
He arrived at the elephant sculpture area.
The stone statue of the leader elephant raised its head and roared. It was very lifelike. Its back was four to five meters above the ground, flat and wide, making it an excellent position.
Wang Chen jumped onto the back of a small elephant sculpture that was about a meter tall. He then turned on the backs of the other sculptures a few times and successfully arrived on the back of the leader elephant.
"I'm sorry, I don't dare to go over. I can only run for my life!" Fatty said in a low voice and continued to run for his life.
At that moment, the zombie horde finally surrounded them. One group rushed to the stone statue while the other group continued to chase after the other Descenders.
Roar! Roar!
Hundreds of zombies surrounded the statues and roared crazily.
Their faces were ferocious, their turbid yellow and white eyeballs staring at Wang Chen. He tried to climb up the statue, but due to the height of the statue, he could not. He could only circle around the feet of the statue.
"Fireball!"
Wang Chen raised his hand, and a fireball the size of a human head flew out, blasting the place where the zombies were the densest.
Boom!
The fireball exploded as it hit the zombie horde.
Scorching orange flames ignited the 20 zombies within a 2-meter radius, turning them into roasted zombie meat.
[Killed Level 1 Zombie, EXP +1! Spirit Points +1!]
[Killed Level 1 Zombie, EXP +1! Spirit Points +1!]
[..]
[You have reached Level 8!]
[Obtained 3 free Attribute Points and 2 Skill Points!]
..
After killing 22 zombies with a single fireball, Wang Chen accumulated 90 EXP and leveled up again.
"Increase all Agility attributes!" Wang Chen immediately ordered.
Agility was not only related to speed but also to reaction speed and spellcasting speed.
In order to overcome a zombie horde, high Agility was absolutely necessary.
Although there were heavy casualties, the zombies below didn't know what death was.
As soon as those zombies fell, the zombies in the outer area started to pour in again.
Wang Chen naturally wouldn't show any mercy.
Boom! Boom!
Fireballs were fired continuously.
In less than a minute, Wang Chen had killed more than half of the hundreds of zombies surrounding him with more than ten maximum-level Fireballs, raising his level to Level 9.
However, after he was done enjoying himself, Wang Chen immediately discovered a problem.
The Fireball skill was fast, but it consumed too much energy!
His energy was now at 1,200 points, and he would need to use 50 points of energy to cast a maximum-level Fireball. He could only cast it 24 times in total.
In battle, the recovery of energy was almost zero, and his endurance was extremely poor.
"I have to save some!"
He planned to use this opportunity to earn enough Spirit Points and EXP.
After all, he didn't know if he would be able to run into a zombie horde without any high-level zombies in the future.
"Stamina +3!"
He placed his attribute points on his Stamina attribute.
23 Stamina Points should be enough for him to kill hundreds of zombies.
Then, he jumped off the elephant's back with a baseball bat and rushed into the zombie horde.
Bang! Bang! 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟𝚎l.𝚘rg
Wang Chen waved his baseball bat casually.
With the 20 points of strength, the zombies would die and be injured.
Although the efficiency was lower than before, it didn't consume much energy.
At this moment, the zombies rushed into the mall with the escaping Descenders.
"Block the entrance of the mall. Don't let too many zombies in," Qi Yi shouted loudly.
He raised his hand and shot out a blue Arcane Missile, blowing up the head of a zombie that rushed in.
"Watch me! Berserk Bone Locust!"
Chen Feng was excited. A blood-colored door in the shape of a wave appeared in front of him. Following that, more than ten giant locusts that were over a meter long rushed out.
These giant locusts were covered in blood-red bone plates, and their huge bone limbs were as sharp as blades.
They flapped their wings and charged at the zombies.
Kacha!
A giant locust swept past the heads of the zombies and split one of them in half.
The rest of the giant locusts also went up and slaughtered the zombies.
At this moment, a zombie was lucky enough to break through the Berserk Bone Locusts' defense line and get close.
"Sigh!"
Duan Lang sighed and stood in front.
Although he was afraid, it did not mean that he was weak. He had drawn a Rank 2 Skill, the Burning Sword.
A burning greatsword appeared in his hand.
"Die!"
The flaming greatsword slashed down, cutting the zombie in half like cutting tofu.
"Hey! You guys, stop running and kill the monsters together!" Duan Lang roared at the Descenders who were running away.
Of the Descenders who could survive the first wave of battle, other than a small portion who were really lucky, most of them still had a certain degree of combat ability.
With more than ten people working together, at least it would not be a problem to stop these zombies.
After everyone leveled up, they might really be able to kill those zombies outside.
With the Berserk Bone Locusts blocking the way, the Descenders became bolder.
"Don't run! Let's attack together!"
"If anyone runs again, don't blame me for not recognizing you with my arrows!"
A bald man roared and summoned a green longbow, aiming at the zombies and starting to shoot.
The other Descenders also attacked one after another.
With everyone working together, they successfully blocked the zombies at the entrance of the mall.
At the group of sculptures, the metal bat in Wang Chen's hand danced in a bloody light.
He charged back and forth in the zombie horde, and everywhere he passed, there were corpses everywhere.
Bang!
Wang Chen finally let out a sigh of relief after smashing the last zombie's head.
In less than ten minutes, he had killed all 400 zombies.
The metal baseball bat in his hand was deformed and full of holes.
The reward was that Wang Chen had successfully raised his level to level 10.
----------------
Name: Wang Chen
Level: 10
[EXP: 35]
[Basic Attributes: Strength (20), Stamina (26), Agility (9), Spirit (2), Charm (2), Luck (0.8)
[Energy: 500/1600]
..
[Skill Points: 18]
[Equipment: None]
[Spirit Points: 440]
----------------
Wang Chen still added Stamina to the Attribute Points he obtained at Level 10.
For now, the Stamina attribute was still very important.
However, the amount of EXP required to go from Level 9 to Level 10 had increased from 100 to 200, exceeding Wang Chen's expectations.
Otherwise, he should be one level higher.
