Chapter 3: The Black Ghost

"Ahh Help—help! ”

A few young people who rushed to the front were accidentally dragged by the zombies around them, and then they were knocked down by the corpses that came one after another, and their faces were covered with blood and they begged for help in horror.

"Let's go! Now is the time! ”

Jia Shuai quickly swept by, shouting to the others, completely ignoring the almost close cry for help.

With a large team of nearly 100 people, how easy is it to move forward at full speed?

Except for the more than 20 young people who have been rushing to the front of the line with all their might, while the remaining dozens of women, children and old people have already been messing around in the rear.

A middle-aged woman suspected that the old lady in front of her was in her way, so she ripped the other party's clothes out of habit.

As a result, such a small action suddenly triggered a chain reaction, and the fallen old lady dragged down several people around her one after another, and the people behind couldn't hold their feet, and more than a dozen people fell into a rolling gourd.

Roar——!

Although the zombies have no intelligence, their instinct drives them to give priority to the place where the breath of the living is strongest, coupled with the wailing everywhere and the cries of women and children, this small chaotic spot immediately attracts almost all the zombies around.

Dozens of hideous-looking zombies pounced into the crowd one after another, ignoring the weak fists and kicks that fell on their bodies, scratching their dirty and rotting arms, and Bai Sensen's teeth tore off pieces of flesh and blood.

Taking advantage of this unexpected chaos, Luo Jie pretended to be panicked and quietly retreated into a small vending kiosk selling tourist souvenirs.

As soon as he entered the door, a large wave of zombies rushed towards him, wearing a bandeau skirt overalls printed with the logo of Good Luck City, and it was estimated that he was a salesperson at this kiosk before his death.

"Oh, the old-fashioned trick ......"

Luo Jie sneered disdainfully, his body flexibly shifted to the side, avoiding the zombie's outstretched claws by a fraction of a second, and then he grabbed the long golden hair that was already a little dull from behind, and slammed it against the wall with all his strength with the inertia of the other party's forward rush.

Boom! Boom! Smack——!

With a clear sound of bone cracking, the blonde zombie's entire face was completely slapped into the skull, and the sexy body that was convex and backward softened, slowly sliding against the wall, leaving a shocking dark red blood trail along the way.

Luo Jie sat on the ground leaning against the door, panting heavily, sweating all over his body, and faintly showing some signs of detachment.

"My physical fitness is so poor......"

The violently beating heart and sore and heavy limbs made Luo Jie can't help but wake up again, now he is not the elite player who can push the low-level illusion with his bare hands before he was reborn, and his rich combat experience can't make up for the shortcomings in physical fitness.

Looks like we're going to have to hurry up and level up.

Luo Jie subconsciously aimed at the line of kill prompts that popped up at the bottom of his field of vision.

[You kill a zombie and get 10 points]

[If the conditions are met, yes/no to open the points leaderboard?] 】

Seeing this familiar hint, Luo Jie smiled.

The leaderboard is the essence of every fantasy, something that all players love and hate.

I love it because of his generosity - when the top three players leave the realm, they will give away an extremely generous bonus based on their position and total points.

Hates it because of his ruthlessness - except for the top three players, everyone else will deduct the points obtained in this place according to a certain percentage according to the final ranking, and the last three will not only directly clear the points, but also randomly take back a piece of high-level equipment or skills on their bodies.

Before rebirth, every time the points leaderboard was opened, a large number of gamblers who wanted to make a big deal with a small amount of money would pour in, but most of them lost everything.

Of course, for the current Luo Jie, this points ranking is a good opportunity for him to get the first pot of gold.

"On." Luo Jie said without hesitation.

[Please decide on the code name, and yes/no to hide the points display]

"Dire, hide the points display."

This "Dire" is the code name that Luo Jie has been using in his previous life, and the hidden points are because he doesn't want to be guessed from the abnormal number of points as the identity of his reborn, which will attract the attention of those who care.

[Code confirmed, points show hidden]

[Your current point is 10, ranked 2nd]

Open the points leaderboard interface, and the top is the "sunglasses", with a total of 310 points.

In just ten minutes, the other party has killed more than 30 zombies.

However, at the moment, the growth of that point has been temporarily stalled.

Luo Jie was not surprised by this, judging from the simple equipment of the strong man in sunglasses before, this person had only experienced one or two illusions at most, and only the most basic first-order enhanced physical fitness was not enough to support long-term cold weapon combat.

Being able to kill so many zombies at once before resting can be regarded as a strong man in sunglasses.

At this moment, the leaderboard suddenly refreshed.

A player codenamed "President" appeared on the leaderboard and quickly kicked Luo Jie off the second place position with a score of 20 points.

President?

It should be Jia Shuai, right?

Luo Jie couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he didn't open the ranking list in his previous life, and he really didn't know that Jia Shuai's code name was so coquettish.

It seems that this guy still values his status as the president of the student council.

Then again, the appearance of a new name on the leaderboard means that the mentality of some survivors has begun to change, from passive escape to active survival.

It's time for you to do something about it.

Luo Jie quietly poked his head out from behind the counter, and through the gap in the metal guardrail, he saw that the hundreds of zombies in the square had returned to their previous wandering state.

Obviously, Jia Shuai and the others have successfully entered the City of Good Luck.

The corpses of those who had been killed had been gnawed into a bloody skeleton, and the thick smell of blood attracted flocks of crows to hover over the square, making hoarse and piercing cries like sawn wood.

"So...... Let's go! ”

Luo Jie stood up from behind the counter, thick black smoke billowing out of his body, passing through the metal guardrail in front of him, and converging into a black human figure in front of the kiosk.

The black humanoid is nearly two meters tall, and its appearance resembles a mummy with a black bandage tied all over its body, emaciated but without losing its sense of strength.

Black Ghost.

IBM for short, is a symbiotic life form that exists in the sub-human, with a little self-awareness and almost beast-like fighting instincts, and has some kind of spiritual connection with the sub-human to which it belongs, and can share the senses at a certain distance.

In short, a doppelganger.

[You summoned a black ghost with a strength of 180 and an existence time of 360 seconds (mental attribute x2)]

[Hint: The existence time of the Black Ghost can only be rested and restored, and cannot be reset through infinite reforges and resurrection items.] 】

Seeing the last prompt, Luo Jie couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

He had thought that the Black Ghost was similar to those summoned creatures that could exist forever as long as they didn't die, but now it seemed to be very different from what he expected.

"Can you only fight for six minutes at a time at most...... But it should be enough. ”

Luo Jie closed his eyes, and the spiritual connection between the two immediately projected the senses of the black ghost into his brain.

Ulla——!

When the light appeared in front of him again, Luo Jie found that he was already standing in the square outside the kiosk, and several zombies staggered past him with strange steps, unaware of his presence.

It turns out that this is the perspective of the black ghost......

Luo Jie tried to move his limbs, thanks to the black ghost's original sanity was severely damaged in the temporal storm, he did not feel any hindering power, and its flexibility seemed to be controlling his own body.

Click——!

Luo Jie threw a punch casually, and the head of a zombie beside him suddenly rolled back at a ninety-degree angle, and his body fell to the ground and never moved again.

180 spiritual attributes were converted into nearly twice the strength of ordinary people, directly breaking the zombie's cervical vertebrae.

The sound of the corpse falling to the ground alarmed several zombies around them, and although they didn't smell the slightest breath of a living person, they still turned around and followed the sound.

The feet of the black ghost suddenly exploded, and its body rushed into the corpse group like a black whirlwind, and the two big hands each clasped the head of a zombie, and the arms slammed it together.

Smack——!

The heads of the two zombies burst open on the spot like watermelons that had been hit, and red, red, white and white brains splattered everywhere.

The black ghost's unseen form briefly took shape in the dark red blood, and then disappeared into thin air again as the blood dripped down a moment later.

"This doesn't work, it's still too slow!"

Luo Jie manipulated the black ghost to grab the billboard outside the kiosk, and smashed his round arm on the neon box not far away.

Whoa——!

Dozens of glass bulbs shattered and made a loud noise, and the zombies in nearly half of the square almost turned around at the same moment, baring their teeth and claws to rush towards this side.

Not long after, a terrifying tide of more than 100 zombies gathered around the small kiosk.

Luo Jie was not worried, but rejoiced, and pulled out a parking lot sign with the letter P written on it from the lawn with both arms, and used it as a weapon to sweep towards the crowd of corpses in front of him.

[You got the weapon-stop card, yes/no cost 50 points for certification?] 】

[Note: Certified items have no durability limit and can be taken out of the world after the mission ends.] 】

While the prompt popped up from below the field of vision, Luo Jie directly chose to deny.

The best feature of this illusion is that anything that can be touched is considered a weapon, and if left unchecked, it is easy to bring back a pile of unused garbage.

Hmmm——!

Almost as soon as he made his choice, the edge of the circular sign of the stop sign slashed the necks of four or five zombies one after another, and several rotting skulls rolled to the ground.

The corpses roared and roared, and the remnants of the creature instincts made them vaguely sense the approach of some kind of danger, but the sensing organs that evolved for the flesh and blood were not aware of the existence of the black ghost composed of IBM particles in any way.

For a while, the black ghost controlled by Luo Jie seemed to have entered a no-man's land, and the stop sign in his hand seemed to have become a hot butter knife, cutting these stunned zombies layer after layer.

The circular logo was cut and deformed, and he simply used it as a stick, and the iron pipe with the thickness of his wrist was rounded and smashed through, and the efficiency of killing zombies was not much worse than before, and the visual effect was even better.
