Chapter 40: Alternative Uses of System Backpacks (Part I)

Just as Qin Qin was busy stuffing the seasoning into the cardboard box, Lu Letian's ghost crying wolf howl came from the second floor: "Captain! Captain Qin! Come and help! Lots of zombies! ”

Qin Qin was shocked. What www.biquge.info pen ~ fun ~ pavilion? Zombies on the second floor? But didn't you block the gate and clean up the zombies last time? They were fighting so much at the time, there was no reason why the zombies upstairs couldn't hear it.

Qin Qin didn't have time to think about it, so he pulled Zhou Beichen and rushed to the second floor. As soon as I went up to the second floor, I saw Lu Letian and the four of them lined up in two rows, two boys fighting and retreating in front, and two girls snorting in the back to poke the zombies in the front back, and now they are all about to retreat to the edge of the stairs. Opposite them, there were seven zombies squeezing forward together, including two adult zombies, three elderly zombies, and two small zombies, which looked like they were killed when the family went out to dinner.

Lu Letian's luck is not bad, the corridor of this store is not wide, and no matter how many zombies there are, they can only barely squeeze three side by side in front, so that the four of them were not taken down in the first place. However, their situation is also very critical, the two old zombies in the back keep pushing the three zombies in front of them to move forward, and the two little zombies are trying to break the thighs of the first row of zombies blocking the way, trying to rush to the front.

Zhou Beichen shouted: "Hold on, don't let them come to the staircase!" With that, he pulled away Yang Lan and Zhao Qi, who were standing in the second row, and squeezed between the two boys in front of him to help defend.

Zombies have stiff limbs and are not good at going upstairs and downstairs at all. In fact, they are unsteady on their feet, and the only consequence of reaching the stairs is either to climb slowly or to rush down quickly. If the four retreat to the stairs, if they are lucky, it is better to say that most of the zombies that come with them will be unstable and fall to the ground when they descend the first steps, and at most they will hit someone when they roll down. As long as you are not particularly unlucky enough to be touched by the fingernails of zombies, there is no danger in hitting it.

But if any of the zombies were particularly lucky, like the one that attacked the little fat man in the girls' dormitory, he managed to pounce like a tiger down the mountain without falling, and the four people walking on the stairs would inevitably be scratched a few paws. Except for Dou Le, who has awakened and strengthened his agility, he will not die, and the other three can only fight for their character to see if they will become zombies or hang up directly.

Qin Qin watched the boys struggling to resist, and was so anxious that she turned around. Although the current zombies are so stupid that they can only wave their arms to pounce and bite, they don't feel pain and don't know fear, and the five big zombies rushing forward desperately really put a lot of pressure on a few boys. The two little zombies finally squeezed to the front, staggered and rushed towards the thighs of the three people in the front row, and continued to crawl back after being kicked away, greatly interfering with the boys' resistance.

Qin Qin wanted to rush up to help several times, but the small space upstairs could only accommodate a row of people to make a move, and although Zhou Beichen barely promised not to retreat after squeezing in, the result of the lack of hands-on space was that the attack was weak. The boys kicked and smashed and watched the excitement, but in fact, it was just to maintain the status quo, and it was very physically demanding. Lu Letian was already panting like a cow because of his body shape, but he still tried to hold on to one step and not retreat.

Yang Lan and Zhao Qi were also in a hurry, and Yang Lan criticized herself with regret on her face: "It's all to blame for me not paying attention." The first few rooms were empty, and I thought there was no danger, but at the last one I pushed the door open. But who would have thought that several zombies suddenly came out of it, if Zhao Qi hadn't pulled me, I would have been knocked down at that time. Now everyone can only fight face-to-face with zombies, I'm sorry for you. Yang Lan snorted, barely suppressed her apologies, and said with a resolute face: "When they can't stand it, then replace me, you don't care about me and run away, I will definitely drag those zombies!" ”

Zhao Qi patted Yang Lan on the shoulder and comforted: "Sister Lan, don't say that, you haven't reached that step yet." It's all because this door's ability to insulate sound and smell is too good, who would have thought that so many zombies were completely motionless inside. What we have to do now is to quickly find a way to solve the problem, the most critical trouble at the moment is that there is no way to stop the zombies from opening up the distance, there are stairs a few steps behind them, and they can't retreat at all. ”

Qin Qin listened to the conversation between Yang and Zhao, and always felt as if she had overlooked something. She muttered to herself, "We're going to keep the zombies at bay and keep the distance." Block ...... That's right! Qin Qin's eyes lit up, and after throwing off a sentence, he turned around and ran downstairs. Hold on, I've got a solution! ”

Not to mention that the few people who heard this were shocked, and they fought with the zombies more and more bloodily. Qin Qin rushed downstairs in three steps and two steps, and pounced on the large freezer placed next to the hotel counter. The freezer is used for serving cold drinks and cold beer to guests, and the front is a transparent glass sliding door, and the stainless steel cabinet looks sturdy and heavy, more than a meter wide. Qin Qin reached for the freezer with one hand and put it into the system backpack, and then ran back upstairs like a gust of wind.

Qin Qin ran back to the second floor, shouting for a hand, while pulling the little fat man who was standing on the far left, who was too tired to raise his arm, and dragged him back, and then sensitively bypassed him and squeezed forward, releasing the freezer as fast as he could. Quietly, a freezer more than a meter wide blocked most of the corridor, leaving only a gap of less than half a meter on the right, which was squeezed into by the fastest reacting zombie.

Zhou Beichen was in good spirits, he asked Dou Le, who was already tired enough, to go to the back to rest, and then stood in Dou Le's position just now and fought one-on-one with the zombies who were rising. After Qin Qin calmed down the discomfort caused by the 100-meter sprint, he also went to cooperate with Zhou Beichen to do it together. Seeing this, Yang Lan and Zhao Qi hurriedly stood behind the two, waiting to replace the two at any time.

With the efforts of the four of them, most of the zombies who were already scarred lay on the ground for a short time. Qin Qin exhaled a long breath, she killed two zombies, one big and one small, one in succession, but she didn't feel too tired, and her arms were not as sore as after beating a zombie before, but she was a little tired in her heart under the tension. Zhou Beichen was also quite puzzled, why was Qin Qin's strength so great? Could it be that she was lucky enough to come across the two worst beatings before?

Lu Letian and Dou Le, who had rested for a while, took the initiative to come over to clean up the battlefield, and then handed the two crystal nuclei they found to Qin Qin. After Qin Qin thanked him beautifully, he put the crystal nucleus into his backpack. She had already asked about the system, and it would take 100 first-order nuclei, or 20 second-order nuclei, to get the cooking system to level two. Now all zombies are still only level zero, and it depends on luck to generate a first-level crystal nucleus, not to mention a second-level crystal nucleus that can only be generated by second-level enhancements or ability zombies. So for a short time, she won't have to think about upgrading the system again, but saving up some crystal nuclei to exchange for new recipes and special foods is a good option.

Dou Le shook off the blood stains and brains on the fire shovel in his hand, and looked at the zombies on the ground in a daze. Seeing this, Qin Qin asked curiously, "Dou Le, what's wrong with you?" What do you think? ”

Dou Le hesitated, but finally made up his mind, he asked Zhou Beichen: "Brother Zhou, did you have the camping axe we found in the outdoor store yesterday?" Can I use that as a weapon? This shovel is so bulky that I want to change to a lighter one. ”

Zhou Beichen replied: "Are you sure? The axe was less than half a meter long, and when wielded, it was basically a close fight with a zombie. Although you seem to have some resistance to zombies and are not afraid of being hurt by them, none of us are studying medicine, and the medicine box can only treat small wounds, and if you are scratched with a claw, we will not be able to treat you. ”

Dou Le frowned and said, "I can't tell why, I felt it yesterday, and my movements seem to have become a lot faster." Now it's easy to fight with zombies, but I think long-handled weapons are slow and clumsy to wield, and they are not as good as machetes and axes. Although the only experience in my life that I have ever used a knife is cutting watermelon, it is similar to chopping the skull of a zombie. ”

Zhou Beichen patted his head as if he had thought of something and said, "I forgot, you seem to have awakened your agility ability on the first day." Maybe it's the effect of the haste ability that makes you not only faster, but also much more agile. It's okay, the axe is in the car, I'll give it to you to try later, if you think it's okay, use it. Oh, and by the way, you'll keep the nuclei you pick up in the future, and you'll be able to upgrade your abilities. ”

Dou Le hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't don't, I can feel that my current body is not playing at the speed it should have, and it is not necessarily a good thing to upgrade in a hurry." I'll have to get used to it for a week, but I'll leave the nucleus to the captain, as her water and space abilities will be more useful to our team. But then again, I'm curious, captain, how do you absorb the energy of the crystal nucleus? We don't seem to have hit much, right, you absorb a few and upgrade? What's it like to upgrade? ”

This series of questions smashed Qin Qin speechless, how could she know what it was like to upgrade. Qin Qin tried hard to recall the experience that Zhou Beichen had said, and stammered and replied, "Uh, you asked how to absorb the crystal nucleus, right?" It's like I'm going to hold the crystal nucleus in the palm of my hand, uh, and then release the ability, so that I don't know if it's energy or something else in the crystal nucleus, which will be automatically absorbed into the body, anyway, you should be able to feel it if you try it. As for how many, I don't remember much, and I was too excited yesterday to count. ”

Zhou Beichen was also busy playing the round: "Hey, you don't know your captain yet, a little confused." Early this morning, she pulled me to talk to Sister Lan about her feelings about upgrading, but she couldn't explain it clearly, I suspected that she was not upgraded at all, but only improved her ability after absorbing the crystal nucleus. ”

"Oh, then I'd better try to adapt to my abilities first, and then I'll talk about it after I level up." Dou Le, who was confused, scratched his head and walked away, leaving Qin Qin, who was covered in cold sweat, with a long sigh. This person just can't lie, and if you lie casually, you have to make up for it with more. She was excited to upgrade the system yesterday, completely forgetting what Zhou Beichen had said, halving the efficiency of absorbing crystal nuclei that were not her own abilities or strengthenings. It stands to reason that ten crystal nuclei are not enough for her water ability to upgrade, but fortunately, Zhou Beichen reacted quickly and made an excuse that she was only improving rather than leveling.

While wiping cold sweat, Qin Qin dragged Zhou Beichen back to the kitchen to clean up his things, and asked about the crystal nucleus and ability upgrade by the way. Zhou Beichen was also helpless, Qin Qin ran too fast yesterday, and he didn't have a chance to say a few words at all. In fact, not only is the number of crystal nuclei used wrong, but the absorption time is also wrong. It takes at least 10 minutes to absorb each first-level crystal nucleus, and Qin Qin has no experience, so it will only take longer to absorb while groping. But in fact, she stayed in the bedroom for more than half an hour and ran out excitedly to say that the ability upgrade was successful, and he didn't think much about it at the time, but now when he was asked by Dou Le, it was full of flaws.
