Chapter 4: The Licker
The mutation of the licker is different, and it also retains a trace of pain nerves.
So when Zhao Futu hit it with two shots in succession, its jumping action paused for a moment, and then it failed to successfully jump onto the other wall, and quickly escaped under the wall cover, avoiding Zhao Futu's shots.
Bang!
Another shot hit the licker's back, and it slammed to the ground, leaving a trail of blood on its back, but the bleeding was quickly stopped by the accelerated metabolism, but the bullet remained in its body.
"Click!"
Zhao Futu fired another shot, but there was a sound in the air, and there were no bullets.
There was no time to change the ammunition, Zhao Futu directly took out a dagger from his private space, and then threw it towards the licker in the distance! He has strengthened the basic ranged combat lv5, which means that he has the effect of mastering the ability to enhance any ranged combat skills, whether it is firearms, bows and arrows, throwing, or all kinds of hidden weapons, etc., and basically rarely makes mistakes when killing targets.
The dagger hit the licker's neck directly, but unfortunately it was just an ordinary dagger, the kind of 50 survival points for a pair, the additional damage was really limited, and the lethality caused by his 29 points of strength was all dependent on the attribute bonus brought by his 29 points. But after all, there is also a damage bonus of basic ranged combat lv5 there, and this blow also caused nearly 50 points of damage, and the dagger was inserted into the licker's cervical vertebrae, making the movement of its head a little sluggish.
A dagger was stuck in the neck, and the licker's instinctive reaction was to pull it out.
After all, the dagger is not a bullet, and the small size of the bullet interferes very little in the body, but the dagger is so big, after inserting it into the cervical vertebrae, it has begun to affect the rotation of its skull. So the scarlet tongue that was withdrawn turned around, and directly rolled up the dagger, and took it out. But at this time, Zhao Futu burst into a shout and activated the 'Snow Treading Without a Trace' on the Cloud Swallowing Boots, and his speed suddenly doubled, he pounced like an afterimage, directly grabbed the licker's feet with his hand, and turned around to fall heavily to the ground with a move 'Heaven and Earth Throw'!
The licker crawls on all fours, and this time it is like a naughty child in the countryside falling a toad, and the dust is flying with a muffled bang!
His strength was 29 points, completely suppressing the licker's 20 points, and the blow smashed hard and made a shallow mark appear on the ground, followed by a nightmare space prompt sound:
"Won the grappling mastery! Target Constitution Immunity Failed! Target Psychic Will Immunity Fails! Triggers the Bash effect! Goal stiffness! ”
Ancient martial arts move like a tiger, once you make a move, you will defeat the enemy to death!
The damage caused by this move may not be as good as the previous dagger throw, but the powerful heavy attack method triggers the abnormal state that may occur when mastering grappling, although it is difficult to have dizziness and the like with the mutation characteristics of the licker, but after all, there are joints and ligaments in its body, and the heavy fall of this blow caused its vertebrae to be hit the spot, and it entered a state of stiffness for a moment!
"Die!"
Zhao Futu burst into a shout, flew violently, and slammed his elbow down.
- Click!
In the sound of bones breaking, the licker's spine bone was directly smashed into two by his elbow, and the vertebral vertebrae in the middle of the force, Zhao Futu could even feel that it had been completely shattered!
But after being so badly injured, the licker's counterattack was still very powerful, and its tough tongue suddenly rolled, and then it plunged straight into Zhao Futu's brain like a sharp sword!
If it hits this time, the skull will be pierced by it!
Syllable!!!
At the moment of life and death, Zhao Futu's instinctive reaction began to play a role, with such a close attack, he had no room to dodge at all, and when he just flew down and struck an elbow blow, he was already an old move, his strength was exhausted, and there was no room to dodge at all. However, the powerful conditioned reflex ability brought by the Nightmare Spatial Attribute Enhancement came out with an amazing effect this time, and he didn't even have time to react and think, completely subconsciously slammed his left hand out with his side palm, and actually knocked away the narrow tongue that was attacking him by a fraction of a second!
It's like a sharp arrow that he throws away with his hand as if it were a completely conditioned reflex.
"Won the grappling mastery! When the target takes 25% of their total HP as damage from their waist, the target's waist is disabled! ”
……
Base melee lv10 increases melee damage by 50%, grappling combat mastery adds 50% hand-to-hand combat damage, and increases the critical chance of joint vital parts by 25%, although the strength of 29 points only causes less than 15 base damage points, but the damage value after double damage stacking and critical hits is as high as 65 points!
At this moment, the licker's health is consumed by more than half.
……
[Note: Melee attacks have a higher chance of triggering the Cripple effect than firearm shots, as the attack surface and strength are much stronger.] Bullets can get stuck in the muscles and bones, but hand-to-hand combat can penetrate the body. 】
……
One hit is successful!
Zhao Futu didn't continue to entangle with the licker, because the other party's tongue was too weird.
Attacking with little to no relay point, and being able to shoot from any angle at any time, he kicked his leg back after a heavy blow, then pulled out an ammo magazine from the air and loaded it into the Desert Eagle, and then shot at the half-collapsed licker. The licker's vertebrae have been comminuted, meaning that the nerve connection between the upper body and the lower body itself is almost crippled.
The vertebrae are wasted, jumping is not a thought, crawling can still be tried.
Perhaps with the strong recovery ability of the mutant zombie, it can recover in a short period of time through metabolism, but where will Zhao Futu give it so much time at this moment?
After several shots to the brain, the Licker failed to pass the fatal death waiver and became a real corpse.
Subsequently, the space gave a prompt tone:
"Contractor No. 1013 killed the Licker, gained 150 survival points, and the same as an unidentified item, a piece of E-class soul crystal."
……
The unidentified item that the licker burst out of was actually its long, narrow tongue that was four or five meters long, and it looked very disgusting.
Zhao Futu pinched it and threw it directly into his private space, and then began to check the piece of soul crystal: "Why did a small licker drop a piece of E-class soul crystal?" Could it be that the explosion rate of the gold-level main quest is so high? ”
But as soon as he looked at it, he understood why.
"Soul Crystals [Quest Supplies]: This is the product of strengthening the soul energy collection rate under the power of the laws of space, and the soul crystals obtained by killing any creature in this scene will become quest items, and the contribution will be obtained according to the amount of energy injected by the contractor into the teleportation connection point, and in exchange for the corresponding survival point rewards."
……
"It seems that there is no soul crystallization benefit from this mission. I don't know what compensation the space will give after the mission is completed! Zhao Futu looked around, and then rushed towards the location in the center of Shanghai.
Each contractor accepts a side quest with the teleportation connection point as the core, but the veterans are tasked with establishing and protecting the teleportation point, while the newcomers are given the task of hunting zombies to provide energy to the teleportation point. Some higher-level contractors may also be assigned more difficult task types, but Zhao Futu, as a newcomer who has only experienced two episodes, is assigned basic side quests that provide energy.
The Nightmare Mark has 3,600 waypoints on the continental shelf plate selected!
The contractors must build corresponding teleportation points in these places and drop them on the entire earth at a density of five or six thousand people, and the number of contractors near each teleportation point should not be too large. However, most of the teleportation points are concentrated in the coastal city area, for example, a small city of Shanghai has a full thirty teleportation connection points, and Zhao Futu estimates that at least forty contractors have been placed here.
The teleportation connection points marked on the Nightmare Mark are densely packed, but the main locations are still in China, Japan, Russia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and a few other countries. Among them, the United States and Japan have the most transmission connection points, and the transmission connection points scattered in these two countries account for nearly half of the share. In other words, these two countries have the largest number of contractors and a higher chance of meeting!
In addition, Zhao Futu also found that there was also a teleportation connection point on the South Pole and the North Pole, and he didn't know which unlucky guy would be put there.
……
Shanghai is a densely populated city, so it is also the fastest city to become a zombie territory after the disaster.
The city was now devoid of the slightest human habit, and the whole city looked like a ghost, silent, dead silence, and the streets were full of broken and exploded vehicles, which were already covered in dust. Most of the shops on both sides of the street are broken, the ground is full of dried black blood clots, because there are no living people, the zombies here can only devour each other and evolve, those corpses that should have been scattered everywhere have also been devoured by hungry zombies, and there is nothing left of even human bones.
Ordinary zombies will only attack humans, but those zombies with the possibility of evolutionary mutation will look for energy under a strong instinct**, and the other zombies will naturally become one of their targets!
"Whew!" Zhao Futu walked cautiously through the empty streets, his whole body tensed, ready for battle at any time.
As a modern person, especially a Chinese who has been to Shanghai and seen the crowds there, walking on the streets of Shanghai where there is no trace of people in this nightmare space, walking in the plot plane connected by this nightmare space, his heart feels extremely strange.
That uncomfortable feeling gave him goosebumps all over his body.
