Chapter 14: Zombie Crisis

The jungle was quiet, only the rain fell on the leaves, and the whole forest could not even hear the sound of cicadas and birds, and the silence was somewhat abnormal, and the bonfires in the forest were soaked in the early morning rain and dew, and the smoke was curling.

And yet at this moment......

"Crackleβ€”"

There was a soft sound, as if the dry branches that had fallen to the ground had been trampled off by something.

At the same time, Yu Luochen woke up from his sleep and jerked up from the ground, and the short sword he had equipped last night just in case was already in his hand.

On the one hand, Fei Yu Ah Fei, who also had amazing insight ability, also woke up at the same time as Yu Luochen turned over, and when he jumped up, the arrow in his hand was already on the string.

But as the two of them looked around, they almost invariably took a step back, and then looked at each other in disbelief.

I saw that five meters away from the center of them, I don't know when they surrounded the zombies staring at the big green eyes, and they slowly moved towards the four of them with their teeth and claws.

Even at a distance of five meters, the stench emanating from those zombies was still clearly audible, making the two of them frown.

This...... What the hell is going on?

Ah Fei shouted loudly at the two who were still asleep: "Xiaobo! Qing'er! Wake up, something is wrong! ”

I saw that the two of them woke up from their sleep in a daze, and Xiaobo was still stretching there, but after they saw the current situation clearly, they suddenly screamed, especially Qing'er was even more frightened, and her whole body was trembling.

"This ...... What are these things......" Qing'er asked with a scream, Yu Luochen frowned, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a junior monster in the Misty Jungle - zombies." ”

"Zombies? So...... "Ah Fei looked at the top of the zombies' heads, "Level five, it's really just a junior monster, really, I thought it was a boss-level monster." ”

Ah Fei breathed a sigh of relief: "I remember, there is a demon cave crack in the misty jungle near the novice village, where demonic qi often gushes out to devour the villagers of the surrounding villages and create these zombies, I'm right." ”

Xiaobo on the side also relaxed his vigilance: "Haha, it turned out to be just a junior zombie, I was almost scared to pee." ”

But Yu Luochen noticed something abnormal: "Something is wrong, you have fought in the misty jungle and you should remember that these zombies are usually scattered, at most five or six at a time, which is already the limit for novice players, but you see now, there are twenty or thirty zombies around us," he pointed outside again, "Listen, there is still the sound of Suo Suo outside, obviously there are more zombies coming closer to us." ”

Hearing Yu Luochen's words, the hearts of the three of them that had just been put down were lifted again, and Ah Fei said solemnly: "It seems that yes, logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many little monsters at one time, right, could it be that our bonfire last night attracted them?" ”

Yu Luochen shook his head and retorted categorically: "No, burning a bonfire will attract zombies, and there is no such setting in "The Secret Realm of Reincarnation". ”

"But how can we explain this situation?" Ah Fei said a little depressed.

I saw Yu Luochen ponder for a moment, his face suddenly became a little ugly, and he said coldly: "If I'm not mistaken, there must be other people around here besides us." ”

"Others!?" Ah Fei and Xiao Bo looked around nervously, but there were no other people's shadows around except for those zombies that were constantly approaching.

They looked at Yu Luochen suspiciously, only to hear Yu Luochen continue to say coldly: "Moreover, that person is probably planning to play a wave." Ah Fei and Xiaobo looked surprised, and they agreed: "A wave!" ”

On the other hand, Qing'er looked puzzled.

It seems that it was because of Yu Luochen's words that they suddenly had an epiphany, Ah Fei's face was also a little unsightly, and he explained in a deep voice for Qing'er: "This is a game created by some higher-level players," he looked at Yu Luochen, "Just like Luochen said just now, generally this kind of primary monsters are relatively scattered, at most five or six at a time, but those high-level players think that this kind of monster farming is too slow, so they came up with a wave of tricks, which is to attract monsters, lure monsters out, gather monsters, and gather scattered monsters together, Then a wave of annihilation. ”

"How so!?" Qing'er couldn't help but blurt out exclamation when she heard this.

Looking at the zombies that were constantly approaching, Yu Luochen grinned and said with a wry smile: "The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, it seems that we are lying down......"

"That's not good." Xiaobo said in a deep voice, and the shield in his hand was also raised, Qing'er was a little uncalm, "You guys should think of a way, they are going to surround you!" ”

With Yu Luochen's many years of experience in the game, after the rapid operation of his brain, he found a solution: "It is impossible to completely destroy these zombies with the current ability of the four of us," he looked around, "But while that person has not gathered more zombies now, we can choose a direction to attack together, and in the face of this group of fifth-level zombies to break through a passage, the four of us are still more than enough." ”

"Okay, that's it...... Although I really want to say this, but ......" Ah Fei smiled bitterly at him twice, "There are only three of us who can be used as combat power, and Qing'er's words are basically hopeless." ”

"Why?" Yu Luochen was puzzled, "Even if it is Yunju, the early combat power is not weak." He looked at Qing'er, only to see Qing'er with her head down and her cheeks crimson.

Ah Fei smiled awkwardly at him: "Luochen, I'll explain to you slowly after this is over, let's break through first......"

Seeing that the zombies were only two meters away from them, there was no time to ask any more.

Yu Luochen chose a direction where the corpse tide was relatively weak, raised the short sword in his hand and rushed forward, Ah Fei and Xiaobo followed closely behind him, and at the same time, the two of them also protected Qing'er in the middle.

The fifth-level zombies faced Yu Luochen at the tenth level and Ah Fei and Xiaobo at the eighth level, they were like cutting tofu, and they easily opened a gap in the corpse tide, and they were about to break through, and the three of them were slashing hard.

At this moment, a strange scene appeared, just now the zombies who were still afraid of death moths to the fire, their movements suddenly stopped, and their green eyes showed a rare humanized gaze.

Seeing this scene, Yu Luochen's heart couldn't help but tremble, because he knew that as soon as such a situation appeared, it would indicate that there was a strange change that was different from the original game.

Sure enough, those zombies rushed forward collectively as if they had received some order, but the strange thing was that this group of zombies did not pounce on the four of them, but pounced on the zombie corpses that had just been cut apart by them.

Immediately after, something stunned happened, those zombies competed with each other for the corpses of their companions, and there was a creepy chewing sound in the corpse tide.

"Hey, hey, what's going on?" Presumably it was the first time he had seen such a change, Ah Fei exclaimed, and cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead.

Qing'er on the side of "vomiting ......" couldn't help retching when she saw such a scene, coupled with the smell of corpses in the air, after all, it was a girl, and even the three boys were a little sick to their stomachs when they saw this.

But at this moment, Yu Luochen didn't care about the disgust, because he found that the blood bar on the top of their heads seemed to have thickened a little bit for those zombies lying on the ground and eating corpses, and the number representing their level next to the blood bar seemed to have changed from five to seven!

They are actually leveling up by devouring the corpses of their companions!

"Quick! Stop them, they're upgrading! Seeing this vision, Yu Luochen couldn't help blurting out exclaimed, and when the three of them heard his words, the expressions on their faces instantly turned into horror.

But before they could react, the accident would regenerate.

A few zombies ran out of the crowd to stop them, while the other zombies suddenly went crazy and devoured the corpses of their companions, and then they began to devour each other again.

Dozens of zombies tore at each other's companions, stumps flying, green water splashing everywhere, and after only a moment, the number of zombies was reduced by half.

What's even more terrifying is that after those zombies devoured their companions, their level rose again and again, and in the end, there were only seven zombies left, and their level had already caught up with Yu Luochen's level, which means that they would face seven zombies of level ten next.

"How...... How so...... It's impossible......" Ah Fei rubbed his eyes in disbelief and said in despair, "Seven level ten zombies...... How can this be beaten......"

I saw that the seven zombies, after devouring the bodies of their companions, also began to undergo huge changes, and their bodies were covered with a thick layer of hard armor.

On the back, several sharp barbs broke through the hard armor and grew, and the green eyes full of evil also turned bloody red.

I saw that they had a big mouth, and bursts of corpse gas gushed out of its mouth, and Qing'er was immediately shocked and screamed when she saw such a situation.

However, her exclamation seemed to have stimulated the seven mutated zombies, and they rushed towards the four of them together with a strange scream.

At that moment, Yu Luochen was in a brief trance, he looked at the four people behind him, and felt helplessness and disappointment overwhelmingly...... Is it really going to die here? Died near such a novice village?

At the last moment, Yu Luochen closed his eyes helplessly, ready to meet the impending death.

And yet in that moment......

He seemed to see a man quietly watching them beyond the tide of corpses, wearing a delicate wood carving mask, and the eyes under the mask were compassionate and penetrating.

Instinctively wanting to survive, Yu Luochen blurted out for help at him: "Save us......"
