Chapter Forty-Eight: Thugs, Hoarders, Escalation
Although the burst shotgun is very useful, it is not convenient to replace the wheel-shaped bullet nest, especially when under the siege of the zombie group, Lawson has no extra time to waste on it, so after using up the 16 12-gauge shotguns in the bullet nest, he threw them directly into the backpack space, and took out the long-range gray and white bow with his backhand.
"Boom, whoosh......"
The bowstring sounded again, and the rapid fire and multiple arrows began to unite again.
When Lawson gradually adapted to the current rhythm of attack, even if there was no ghost to help him, even if he faced hundreds of zombies alone, he could still deal with it calmly, walking in the square where black blood flowed and corpses were everywhere.
The continuous killing of zombies has also made him kill more and more, and he is getting closer and closer to completing the achievement task of the third ring.
During this time, he not only upgraded 3 more levels, but also chose three skills each, which are Thug, Hoarder, and Return.
The reason why the first two were chosen was because their skill effects were so well matched that Rosen felt that it would be a mistake not to choose them.
"Thug: Get an extra grenade every 30 seconds."
"Hoarder: Provides an additional 1% armor for every grenade you have."
Lawson has never disliked his thick armor and strong defense, so of course he likes this skill of being able to obtain grenades and strengthen armor at a glance.
Especially when he found out that he had the Hoarder skill, since the grenades that he originally put in his backpack could also provide 1% armor, he suddenly felt like he had picked up a big bargain.
As for the last skill, it is even more important. Rosen even thought that if he could only take one skill with him after experiencing the game world of the Scarlet Realm, then he decided to choose this without hesitation.
"Flashback: Instantly restores 5% of your health at the last moment of your death and activates bullet time, which can only be used once."
In Rosen's view, this is simply a life-sustaining magic skill, which is equivalent to getting a spare life for nothing.
Don't look at the 5% life that instantly regenerates is not much, but when used with bullet time, it makes a big difference.
For him, even if the bullet time was only a second, he could take out a bottle of purple vitality potion from the backpack space and drink it, and then full of life mana, killing all the enemies who thought he would die, that scene was simply refreshing.
Of course, although the magic skill is good, life is more important, and he doesn't want to try it out for himself, so he is still quite restrained when fighting, and he will never fight in close combat if he can solve the enemy from a distance.
In addition to leveling up to gain skills, Lawson also took out several mini-bosses, and by the way, he got several special items, such as fire badges, incendiary bomb badges, and speed badges.
Although these props are not large, they are very easy to use, and Lawson used them at that time.
For example, the Speed Badge can increase the user's speed by 30% with a single use, making Lawson's movement speed much faster than before, and even walking through corpses all over the ground is much more agile and agile than before.
As for weapons such as guns, zombies don't drop much, at most they drop a machete. While picking it up and putting it in his backpack, Lawson couldn't help but secretly curse these zombies for being poor!
"Da Da Da ......"
Suddenly, there was a continuous burst of gunfire in Lawson's ears, and at the same time, a strong sense of danger suddenly hit his heart, making him subconsciously make a roll and dodge action.
Fortunately, Rosen's basic melee combat was not weak and his agility had broken through 10 points, so his actions were very agile and fast, and he had already jumped eight or nine meters away in an instant, and at this time he saw more than ten fiery red rays of light tearing through the dark night sky and landing where he had just stolen.
If it weren't for his keen sense of danger, if it weren't for his quick reflexes and quick movements, he would have been shot at least seven or eight times by now.
Although he dodged a wave of attacks, Rosen heard that the gunfire was still continuing, and the trajectory of the bullet breaking through the air was constantly approaching, so he didn't dare to stop the dodge action at all, running and running, and even flipping and rolling, which really brought his basic melee to the extreme.
At this time, Lawson couldn't help but think: if he could raise the career level of the Amazon to a higher level, it would be good to learn passive skills to dodge, so that even if he stood still, he could dodge the enemy's flying attacks.
At the same time, Lawson couldn't help but rejoice that he had cleaned up the zombies within thirty or forty meters of his body, otherwise he would be chased and beaten now, and if there were zombies surrounding him, it would really be no way to enter the sky.
Thinking wildly in his heart, Lawson's actions were not slow at all, and he widened the distance between him and the trajectory of the bullet in a series of several vertical leaps, and then raised his hand to look inward.
The multicolored light flickered, and the originally dark surroundings were suddenly swept by a faint light, and then Rosen saw many zombies around him, and a zombie who was holding a Gatling gun and pouring fire at him.
Lawson cursed wildly, but his movements were not slow at all, he pulled out a grenade and tore off the cable and launched a throwing boomerang to throw it out.
"Whoosh, boom!"
The grenades in the Scarlet Realm were much more powerful than MK2's, and the flames were billowing, and the Gatling Zombie and the zombies around it were all swept away, some of them fell to the ground on the spot, and the rest were dyed green, which is a characteristic of the toxin in action.
"Bang ......" Lawson took this opportunity to shoot his bow and arrows, and there were two intensive bombardments in a row.
As many as twenty-four arrows rained down in an instant within a radius of only 5 meters in diameter, even if the body was on the edge, the chance of being hit was not low, and the Gatling Zombie was the main target.
When the rain of arrows fell, there were already more than a dozen blood holes on its body, and blood and tissue fluid that had turned black and smelly continued to flow down, making it look extremely hideous and disgusting.
However, it did not lose its mobility, so it still held the Gatling in its hand and shot wildly at Lawson.
How could Rosen let him go, so the rapid fire was launched, and waves of multiple arrows flew out one after another.
Although Rosen was only one person, at this moment, he had a powerful power that hundreds of archers could not have in a volley, and the overwhelming rain of arrows roared in, which was really daunting and terrifying.
At this moment, Rosen almost gave it his all, because the zombie on the opposite side brought him too much of a threat.
In particular, the bullets from the Gatling gun seemed to be a blazing whip constantly swinging, forcing him to dodge everywhere and rapidly compressing his space for movement.
For him, this feeling of being chased and beaten was too bad, so he had to get rid of it anyway.
"Bang."
Just as the rain of arrows formed by multiple arrows was close to the Gatling zombies, a pile of corpses in front of Lawson's left was suddenly lifted, and a cold light flashed, and a fire axe flashed head-on towards Lawson.
This is also a small boss with a red name, judging from his clothes, he was obviously a firefighter when he was alive, but now he has become an ugly zombie with a dark red blood crust in his mouth and nose.
The fire axe in its hand was large and heavy, and the slash was not only sudden but also rapid, almost instantaneously in front of Rosen.
In a hurry, the defenseless Lawson had no time to fight back, so he could only reluctantly slash the long-range gray and white bow in his hand to block the fire axe that came from the split.
"Bang."
With a muffled sound, Lawson staggered back at the swift and incomprehensible force. Even if he has more strength and physical strength than ordinary people, he still can't stabilize his body, which shows how powerful this zombie's long-standing split is.
When he retreated, Lawson had already pulled out the M1911 in his chest and fired a rapid fire that hit the firefighter zombie in the magazine in a matter of moments.
The two were only two or three meters apart, and the accuracy of Rosen's shot was naturally all hit, and the firefighter zombies who were chasing after him were splashed with flesh and blood, not only rushed forward but also retreated involuntarily.
This is not because the M1911 is powerful, but because rapid fire has a built-in knockback effect, so unless the firefighter zombie is so powerful that it is against the sky, it will definitely be repulsed.
When the magazine was emptied, Lawson inserted it back into the holster and took out the gray bow again.
Seeing that its durability had been reduced by nearly half, Lawson couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, and at the same time he was afraid.
In that block just now, although he passed the strength judgment and was not crushed, he still couldn't completely dissolve his attack power, so a wound was cut by the axe blade on his shoulder, and his vitality was sharply reduced by one-third when the blood was splashed.
If it weren't for the fact that Lawson has a digital body and the shoulder is not considered a fatal point, then under normal circumstances, he will lose most of his ability to resist after taking this blow.
When he was angry in his heart, Rosen couldn't help but reflect on whether he had paid too much attention to long-range combat ability and despised close combat, so that he became a little biased. It's going to be dangerous.
Especially in the current environment, if your multiple arrows appear in a blocked gap, causing the zombie hordes to rush closer, how should you respond?! Can you fight your way out with fists, kicks or knives and axes?! Rosen felt a little uneasy in his heart, and when he saw the zombie hordes swarming in all directions again, he immediately took out the sentry cannon badge and activated it.
As the light flickered, a Gatling heavy machine gun fell from the sky and landed beside Rosen, and immediately as if sensing the traces of zombies, the barrel of the gun suddenly turned into action, while firing at full power, pouring bullets and rain forward, while adjusting the direction of shooting by itself, constantly attacking the surrounding zombies, the accuracy is quite good.
It's a pity that the drop rate of this thing is too low, otherwise if there are one hundred and eighty in the backpack, it will be cool, and in this world, it is definitely to catch and kill whom. Rosen felt sorry in his heart, but he pulled the bowstring and shot three arrows at the firefighter zombie in a row.
"Bang."
The firefighter zombie falls on its back, and a white light falls out.
"Your class Scout has been upgraded, currently LV7, you can choose a new skill ......"
