Chapter 3: Wasteland Walkers

My pupils tingled suddenly, and I had to close my eyes in an attempt to relieve the pain, but nothing could be done.

The stinging pain lasted for nearly twenty seconds.

I slowly opened my eyes with trembling eyelids, and glanced around the room roughly, but I didn't see everything clearly.

However, I can still get a rough look at the outline, not as if it were all based on feeling like before.

The upper limit is 3 times, and if I can get more genes to upgrade my vision, it should achieve the effect I want.

Why did this genetic eco-chain choose me? What exactly is the secret of the Abolished Era?

These questions have been hovering in my mind for a long time, but there are still no answers, and I think I need to go out and go further to find out more.

I put away my chaotic thoughts and looked out again along the cat's eyes.

"Hum Hum Hum ......"

I'm ......!

I subconsciously swallowed my saliva and almost spat out the fragrance.

Outside the door, there was also a corpse staring at the cat's eye with blood-red eyes!

Although I have experienced a lot, this almost face-to-face abrupt collision of eyes still makes me feel a thrill.

Fortunately, this cat's eye is special, and you can only see the outside from the inside, and the outside can't see through the inside.

It's definitely a [Level 3 Corpse Species]! This thing actually took the initiative to look inside through the cat's eye!

I finally figured out what was going on with the uneasiness in my heart before, if I didn't hold back and just opened the door, I would have to be knocked down by this third-level corpse in an instant.

According to the level division on the [Survivor Log], the corpse species are divided into five levels according to their ability.

The first and second class corpses are low-level corpses, with slow mobility, and can only run and climb under the reinforcement of moonlight.

But once you become a third-level corpse, your normal movement speed is equivalent to running, and you are born to climb, your bite force and strength are greatly enhanced, and you have low-level intelligence. Strengthened by Moonlight, the ranged attack ability is also born.

I thought to myself about the logs I had read before, this third-level corpse should have been attracted by my previous movements and the smell of blood.

"Hum Hum Hum ......"

"Smack......

"Smack......

"This thing has been guarding my door, did it feel me just now, or was it testing me...... Grandma's, smarter than dogs! It's like someone knocking on the door! I scolded secretly, I had to make a decision, whether to fight hard to kill this third-level corpse or avoid the edge for the time being.

But this guy didn't slap on the iron door outside the door for a while, and if he lured other people of his kind to block the road again, it would be a big trouble!

I've only encountered a few third-level corpses in the past four months, and I've only been lucky enough to kill one, and it's still the kind I have to do.

I don't really want to deal with this kind of thing, it can hurt but I can't, as long as I accidentally scratch it, I will get infected, and I will only be cool in the end.

Dry!

I lifted the cold Tang knife, swallowed my saliva, and gently rested my hand on the doorknob.

"Squeak......

The door was opened......

I picked up the knife and fell, and directly slashed it vertically, I believe that even a third-level corpse species can't bear this extremely sharp Tang knife, as long as it is chopped, it will definitely be able to split the head in half.

Not good!

The knife missed, and I saw that there was no corpse at the door, and the sound of 'hum hum' just now was like an illusion.

I don't dare to take it lightly, I have killed a third-level corpse before, and I know that this thing has a little bit of wisdom, and it is not an ordinary corpse that stands there and waits to cut down.

I took a deep breath silently, tightened my grip on the knife with both hands, and slowly leaned forward, throwing out the clothes on the ground that I had used to reduce the sound of walking as I reached the door.

"Hum Hum Hum ......"

The moment the clothes were thrown out, a corpse jumped out from the side of the door and bit it directly, and bit it a few times in the rotten mouth, and the clothes were torn into rotten strips in an instant.

I gasped, and there was no sound at all in the shadows of the door!

However, the lower level of wisdom is still the lower level of wisdom in the final analysis, and it still relies on instinct to bite into the clothes thrown out, without discernment.

I seized the opportunity, and at the moment when the corpse jumped up, my left foot kicked out violently, and the Tang knife flashed with a cold cold light and slashed horizontally at its waist, but it only cut in half of it without cutting it off.

"! Three levels are three levels! The bones are so hard! It's not comparable to that rotten meat! I cursed secretly, the force in my hand became more and more fierce, and a low muffled roar came out of my throat, slashing through the Tang knife.

"Pop ......"

Intestines, offal, and minced meat were scattered all over the floor.

I looked coldly at the corpse that had been cut in half, and I was no longer surprised by this disgusting scene.

"Hum Hum Hum ......"

The corpse was cut in two, but its upper body was still crawling towards me, teeth crunching in its rotten mouth, and a characteristic grunting sound in its nose.

"Whew!"

I stabbed the corpse into the head with a vicious stab, twisting it to pieces, and then it finally stopped struggling.

"Detected host kill [Level 3 Corpse], Gene Value +10."

Well? Kill this thing to get genetics? It's worth it, a third-level cargo actually added 10 points!

I hurriedly retreated to the room to evoke the first-level genetic ecological interface, and clicked on the eye pattern twice in a row, but there was no response at all.

"Remind the host that your current genetic values cannot upgrade your vision again."

[Advanced Visual Function]: Consumes 100 gene points.

Just getting 10 gene points is a drop in the bucket compared to this.

How can this be played, it has directly multiplied 100 times, from 1 point activated to 100 points, isn't this a cheat!

I had black lines all over my head, and I simply used all my genetic values to activate the other five bodily application abilities.

"Strength Ability Activated...... Deduct 1 point from the gene value. ”

"The speed capability is activated...... Deduct 1 point from the gene value. ”

"Patience has been activated...... Deduct 1 point from the gene value. ”

"The sense of smell has been activated...... Deduct 1 point from the gene value. ”

"The ability to hear is activated...... Deduct 1 point from the gene value. ”

"Gene value settlement...... 5 points remaining. ”

I close the interface, each advancement requires 100 gene points, and 5 points is equal to nothing.

According to this calculation, in order to activate all 6 physical application abilities, you need to hunt at least 60 third-level corpses, which is not as good as hitting the wall to commit suicide.

The third-level ones are given 10 points, and even if the first-level and second-level ones are less, they can't be too embarrassing.

I closed the door and felt a tingling sensation all over my body, and if I broke into it again, it would be over.

This time it took a little longer, and it took more than a minute for the stinging sensation to subside.

I tried to wave the arm holding the knife, but I didn't feel much change, maybe just a little bit of strength, and it didn't make a qualitative change.

It seems that this initial activation is not very strong, only to look at it after the advancement.

I gently opened the door again and walked out, Tang Dao still rippling with a chill.

I have to say that the air outside is much better than in a safe house, and there is often no air circulation in the house, which is both damp and smells musty.

The outside air was also filled with the smell of gunsmoke, but compared to the cabin, it was almost fragrant.

As I walked through the dilapidated streets, in a world shrouded in darkness, I could still hear the faint sound of predation at different distances.

Some are not even far away.

I kept my steps light enough that even running in such an open space would be suicidal.

Because the sound of vigorous footsteps will be very clear, the decibel will be expanded many times invisibly.

It was dark without moonlight, but it wasn't as dangerous, the predators weren't enhanced, and my eyes could now see some outlines a little more clearly, and I wouldn't die in a daze.

I glanced at my backpack, and there was still half a candle in it, but it was impossible to light it in the street, only when searching for supplies.

With the memories of the route in my mind, I headed straight for the end of the street.
