……

Separated from the boy, Tang Le returned to the room, walked to the window and pulled the curtains open, and the eyes were still the unchanging severed remains of the street.

"It's five o'clock."

Tang Le looked at his watch, he knew that by the night, the strength of these dark creatures would be stronger, and with his current strength, it was not enough to act at night.

And he has to consume a lot of energy and physical strength every day, and going to bed at five o'clock in the afternoon sounds very early, but it is indeed just right for Tang Le.

Twelve hours of sleep can ensure that you do not experience frequent fatigue during the day.

Nothing was said all night.

Day 4.

When Tang Le opened his eyes, the time on his watch had already pointed to six o'clock in the morning. It is clear that I slept for more than twelve hours.

Tang Le got up and moved his body, took out drinking water from his backpack, and simply washed up with the water in his hand. After that, he immediately put on his backpack, clenched the only weapon in his hand, and gently opened the door, Tang Le's left eye looked around.

Although the entire corridor was stained with blood, there were no zombies roaming.

Tang Le began to walk downstairs while being vigilant around.

There are two goals today, the first goal is to obtain at least one skill crystal nucleus and one equipment crystal nucleus, time waits for no one, in three days, there will be second-order lifeforms among these zombies, and the strength is far beyond the current Tang Le.

And the second goal......

Tang Le's eyes flashed, after the outbreak of the apocalypse, an NPC dressed in black appeared on battlefields all over the world, a battlefield merchant.

You can trade with him with any item, and the currency for two-way transactions is a black and white coin called Earth Coin.

The early Battlefield Merchants didn't sell much, but they were definitely practical.

Regional battlefield maps, storage rings, and some ordinary weapons or equipment, the items are practical and extremely invaluable, and even an ordinary survivor can scrape together items to exchange for enough Earth Coins.

In addition, some Battlefield Merchants can trigger quests.

Thinking of this, the corners of Tang Le's mouth raised. In his previous life, he only cared about his life in the early days of the last days, and he had only seen the battlefield merchant less than three times, let alone trigger the mission.

If it weren't for an accident, I wouldn't have learned the importance of battlefield merchants-

In the previous life, the first-level regional battlefield ended. After Tang Le killed a second-order zombie, he sat in the corner of a shop and rested. Then I saw a mysterious merchant not far away who was moving towards Tang Le's location.

Tang Le had just finished killing this second-order zombie and obtained some items, and he just wanted to trade with the merchant. Just as he was about to get up, a team suddenly appeared from other buildings, and one of the leaders immediately traded with the merchants. In the process of trading, the team inadvertently revealed some food.

The merchant took a few glances at the exposed food, but quickly returned to normal and continued to trade with the team.

But the man at the head had already seen the merchant's actions, and handed the merchant some bread, ham, and water with a smile.

The merchant did not shirk, flicked his sleeve to take the food away, and then issued a task to the man in charge.

Tang Le didn't know what the content of the task was, but the man was stunned on the spot for a long time without moving, Tang Le knew that the rewards of this task were definitely rich enough, and it was not impossible to become a master in the second-level regional battlefield.

However, Tang Le quickly retracted his heartstrings and didn't think too much about this matter.

Although the Battlefield Merchants have been around since the end of the world, in the first few days, there was no trace of the merchants' whereabouts, and only occasionally appeared in front of humans from the third day onwards.

I didn't meet it yesterday, and whether I can meet it today depends on luck.

……

After killing the three zombies, Tang Le walked out of the hotel smoothly and stood at the door of the hotel to continue to observe the surrounding situation.

The open space on the right-hand side is the place where I obtained the crystal nucleus yesterday, and it has no value. And at the end of the road on the left-hand side is the battlefield light mask barrier.

"Roaring ......"

The three zombies smelled the fresh smell of flesh and blood, dragging their heavy bodies towards Tang Le.

"Roaring ......"

A small group of corpses a little far away from the three zombies was also affected, and they walked towards Tang Le scattered.

Seeing this, Tang Le gently put his backpack on the ground, and then walked slowly to the nearest three zombies.

"Uhh......h

Tang Le's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he deftly used the iron rod to open the arm of a zombie, and then kicked a zombie to the ground with his left foot.

"Bang" The sole of the shoe made a slight impact sound with the ground, Tang Le jumped up one meter high, and the iron rod in his right hand smashed accurately on the top of a zombie's head-

"Pounce—smack!"

Like a watermelon shattering, the zombie's life was directly terminated, and broken bones and flesh flew around.

……

The eight zombies fell to the ground one by one under Tang Le's pulling battle and became real corpses.

Tang Le took a few heavy breaths, and then began to rummage around for crystal nuclei.

But nothing came of it.

Tang Le shook his head and began to search for the body of the last zombie, and felt a small piece of hard object in his red and white brain.

"The second nucleus." Tang Le was overjoyed and wiped the blood on the crystal nucleus. Under the sunlight, the entire crystal nucleus is transparent, and there is a small red dot in the center that sends a "light source" to the surface of the crystal nucleus.

This is the equipment crystal nucleus. It's a pity to look at the red dots in it, it's just ordinary battlefield equipment.

……

【Katana】

Sharpness: Ten

Effect: Increases 10 points of muscle strength and 10 points of arm strength.

Tang Le held the katana that fell from the crystal nucleus in his left hand, and nodded while reading the katana attributes.

The sharpness value is a judgment of the sharpness of the weapon. A little sharpness value is roughly equal to Tang Le's previous iron rod. The three-point sharpness value is the fruit knife at home. When it reaches a five-point sharpness value, it is already a controlled knife. Ten sharpness points, that is the real weapon of the world.

And the additional muscle strength and arm strength do not conflict, which is equivalent to when you hold the katana, the arm strength can be increased by twenty catties. With the increase in the strength of passive skills, his arm strength definitely reaches two hundred catties, and he can easily lift an adult male with one hand!

Tang Le let go of his right hand, and the crystal nucleus debris drifted away with the wind, and soon turned into dust and disappeared.

Tang Le moved the katana to his right hand, and weighed the weight of the katana with his right hand, which was about ten catties.

Such a weight, if ordinary people can only swing it in a short period of time, if they want to make continuous attack movements, then they don't have more than one hundred and twenty pounds of arm strength, it is simply delusional.

Tang Le put on his backpack and carried a katana to kill the small group of corpses not far away.

……

Ten zombies, all of them died under Tang Le's knife in less than a minute, not struggling.

These ten zombies, all the wounds are in the throat. Under the knife, the wound of the slash was extremely smooth, and in an instant, the zombie's control nerve was directly cut off, and it became a corpse.

However, this kind of efficiency means a lot of physical consumption, don't look at Tang Le's ability to kill a zombie with a single knife now, but every blow must be supported by physical strength to support the skill.

The ancients had a cloud and a force to drop ten times, which is all nonsense. If the enemy attacks with a thousand catties of strength, but his own strength is only a hundred catties, he will definitely be beaten half to death on the spot.

This consumption made Tang Le rest for half an hour, and only after making sure that his body muscles would not be loaded, did he get up again and walked out of the hotel.

Walking to the crossroads, Tang Le turned right and entered East Avenue, looking at the zombies along the way, Tang Le couldn't help sighing.

The number of zombies on a large road is at least in the thousands, and if the location of the merchant on the battlefield is far away from him, then unless he has become an awakened person, he can kill the merchant from the corpse group.

Tang Le was thinking about it, a hundred meters away, a black shadow appeared, and he was walking slowly towards the street shop on the opposite side.

Although the black shadow walked slowly, it only took a dozen seconds to reach the opposite store.

"!" Tang Le looked at the black shadow, his eyes immediately widened, and he was a little impatient at the same time with joy in his heart: "I can let you run away!" ”

At that moment, Tang Le didn't care about the consumption of physical strength, and ran in the direction of the black shadow with his legs spread out.

"Roaring ......"

A zombie stretched out his hands without knowing whether he was alive or dead, wanting to attack Tang Le.

"Get out of here!" Tang Le let out a low shout, the sword flashed, and the zombie's arms were broken in response. Then he kicked away the zombie that was blocking the way, and Tang Le continued to run towards the merchant's position.

Although battlefield merchants mostly appear on foot, when they wait somewhere for a while, if no one comes to trade, they will immediately "disappear" in place and appear elsewhere on the battlefield.

If you don't hurry up and meet with the merchant on the battlefield, then the next time you want to meet the merchant, I don't know when.

……

After kicking at least twenty zombies and killing fifteen zombies, Tang Le finally came to the merchant.

Hearing the movement behind him, the merchant turned to look at Tang Le and said, "This warrior, do you need to trade?" ”

The battlefield merchant wore a pure black cloak, and except for a pair of silver eyes, his whole body was wrapped in a cloak. And for Tang Le, who was panting, the merchant did not show any unusual behavior.

Tang Le just wanted to speak, when he heard footsteps from behind, he frowned and turned around to kill a few zombies behind him.

"Do you need a trade, this warrior?"

The merchant repeated the same phrase in a voice that sounded like a mechanical synthesis, but it wasn't harsh.

"Yes, Mr. Merchant, I would like to know what I can buy from you?"

Although Tang Le knew everything about the items that merchants could sell, the surface work still needed to be done, after all, no one knew if these NPCs were really devoid of human emotions.

"Warriors, you can buy storage rings, regional battlefield maps, and ...... from me."

After the merchant read out the dozen or so items he had sold, he fell silent.

"What do you need to buy these things?"

"Earth Coin." The merchant flicked his sleeve and held an Earth coin in the palm of his right hand with black gloves.

"Earth coins, how is this currency converted?"

The merchant put away the Earth Coins, his tone still without any emotion: "The crystal nuclei of living beings, the limbs and carapaces of insects, or the corpses of mutant beasts can all be exchanged for the equivalent value of Earth Coin from me." ”

"That's a shame, I don't have these things yet." Tang Le sighed, shook his head and wanted to leave.

While shaking his head, Tang Le took off his backpack and pretended to organize his belongings, and then deliberately exposed some food.

As Tang Le had seen in his previous life, the merchant's eyes were immediately attracted to the food, but he soon returned to normal.

Tang Le noticed the merchant's strange appearance, smiled and took out some food, got up and handed it to the merchant: "Mr. Merchant, I think you must be a little hungry." I can't eat much alone, so I'll give you these foods. ”

The merchant did not refuse, his sleeve swept over Tang Le's hands, directly put away all the food, and said loudly: "Respected warrior, I will not take your food for nothing." If you have the strength to kill a mutant dog in this area, bring it to me. I will be compensated accordingly. ”

In his mind, the system that only Tang Le could hear sounded.
