Chapter 6: Killing and Title Quests
I have to say that the sentence "there is a crisis outside the city, and there are corpses and bones everywhere" is really appropriate, Chu Xun had just left Chu City, and less than 500 meters into the downhill avenue, he found several blood-stained corpses on the side of the road.
Bones, to be exact!
Judging from the broken medicine baskets next to these bones, they should be the medicine pickers from Chu Town.
Collecting medicine is much less risky than hunting zombies or mutants, but that's only relatively, and for civilians who don't have the strength or even decent weapons, the wilderness is hell.
Because here, they are the creatures at the bottom of the food chain, and there are too many creatures watching them in the dark, and if they are not careful, they will be torn to pieces and become a delicacy in the belly of others.
And among these hunters, the most terrifying is not actually zombie creatures or mutated creatures, because although these creatures are powerful, they don't have much intelligence, as long as they are carefully avoided, even a civilian can escape from a group of zombies.
Outside the city, the most dangerous and feared hunters are actually humans themselves.
In other words, those people can no longer be called people. Because they have completely lost the bottom line of human nature, they are not even as good as animals.
At least animals don't feed on their own kind, and they don't take pleasure in it!
This kind of people, people call them collectively desolate!
And these medicine pickers died at the hands of the desolate people. Because only the desolate will shave every inch of meat from the prey, without any waste, and only the desolate will leave the complete skeleton of the prey as a demonstration to the people of Chucheng.
"What a damn miscellaneous...... Looking at the bones on the ground where the blood had not yet dried, Chu Xun suddenly clenched the war knife in his hand, and a trace of cold murderous intent appeared in his eyes.
Although he had killed people, and there were more than one, he would never be able to accept the act of feeding on humans. If he could, he would have killed all the crumbs!
It wasn't until this moment that Chu Xun really understood his mission. Perhaps, it's time for someone to come up and put an end to this damn end of the world, to put an end to all this filth.
Thinking of this, Chu Xun's eyes became more determined, and then he took a deep breath, clenched his weapon and continued to move forward.
He didn't restrain the idea of these bones, the so-called human death is empty, rather than wasting time here, it is better to find the right insect gene to devour as soon as possible. And there was indeed a lot of danger outside the city, and every minute he stayed there would be more danger.
However, Chu Xun was still too tender, and if there was an old hunter here, he would definitely tell him that outside the city, he should never stay in a place full of blood.
Because of the smell of blood, it often attracts terrible creatures that feed on flesh and blood!
"Hungry ......"
Just as Chu Xun turned around, a hoarse roar suddenly came from the grass on the side of the road, and then, a ragged figure staggered out of the woods next to the road and stopped in front of Chu Xun.
Zombie!
This is a female zombie, about one meter six tall, with a relatively thin body, and her age is not visible because her face has been torn to the point of blurred flesh and blood. Her clothes were in tatters, revealing her body that had begun to rot. One of the chests had been bitten off, and the other was also a blur of flesh and blood, and several fat maggots could be faintly seen wriggling on it, disgusting to the extreme.
"Damn, this zombie is much more stinky than the one Qingyi became!" As soon as the zombies appeared, a strong rancid smell came to their faces. It smelled like a dozen stinky rats had died together and then rotted and fermented. Even with Chu Xun's calmness, after smelling it, he couldn't help but feel a tumbling in his stomach, and he almost vomited.
"Hungry ......" The zombie was obviously attracted by the smell of blood, and after seeing Chu Xun, the zombie suddenly let out a roar of excitement, and then sped up and limped towards Chu Xun.
"Die!" Facing the zombies rushing towards him, Chu Xun's eyes were slightly cold, and then he let out a low cry, waved the war knife in his hand and slashed at the zombies.
After experiencing Qingyi's incident, he definitely didn't have any hesitation in the battle anymore!
Burst!
However, the first time he fought with the zombies, Chu Xun's lack of combat experience was exposed, and he didn't know how to predict at all when he came out of the knife, because the zombie was limping when he walked, so the war knife he originally aimed at the zombie's head and slashed down finally missed the target because of the zombie's body imbalance, wiped the zombie's face, and slashed on its shoulder.
Thankfully, he was strong enough, and the zombie's virus-corroded body was too fragile to resist the sharp steel blade. So after a muffled sound, the steel knife in his hand instantly cut off the left half of the zombie's shoulder and part of its body as if it were cutting butter.
Along with this part of the body, there was also the zombie's left ear and part of the carrion on its face.
Suddenly, a large piece of carrion fell to the ground with a severed arm, and jet-black corpse blood also spurted out from the corpse, staining Chu Xun's white shirt in a mess.
With such a heavy injury, there is absolutely only one way to die on a human body, but for zombies, such an injury is not fatal. As if it was not harmed, the zombie still pounced on Chu Xun, and had the momentum of throwing Chu Xun to the ground and tearing him to pieces.
Boom!
But Chu Xun was not so stupid, at the moment when the zombie approached, he had already raised his right foot and kicked the zombie's lower abdomen fiercely. Suddenly, a muffled sound sounded, and the zombie flew out like a sandbag knocked down by a car, and then crashed into a tree, shaking off a lot of leaves.
Maybe it was the violent impact that shattered the zombie's spine, or maybe it was Chu Xun's knife that cut off too much of the zombie's body, making it unable to control its body balance, in short, when the zombie slid down the big tree and fell to the ground, it could only struggle like an earthworm, but it was never able to stand up.
10 to 15 times more powerful than ordinary people, this is no joke!
"It's really embarrassing to kill the lowest-level zombie and make such a mess......" Looking at the zombies who were constantly struggling in the distance, but always standing up, Chu Xun was suddenly a little speechless.
He had thought that it would be easier to kill a zombie than to crush an ant with his far superior strength, but now he still seems a little naïve. As a rookie, he still has too much experience to learn, otherwise no matter how strong his strength is, he will not be able to really exert it.
Thinking of this, Chu Xun shook his head slightly, then clenched his sword and walked towards the zombie.
Help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, since you have already started, just help this zombie to get free!
As Chu Xun approached, the zombie seemed to be attracted by the aura on Chu Xun's body again, became more manic, and let out a hoarse roar. But soon the roar stopped abruptly, because Chu Xun's war knife had already pierced the zombie's head.
"It's really disgusting...... "When Chu Xun ripped the blade of the war knife out of the zombie head, streams of slightly rotten black, like spoiled tofu brains, but full of rancid breath brains poured out from the knife edge of the zombie head. Looking at these brains gushing out of the brains and all the corpse blood mixed in the brains, Chu Xun suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach.
But fortunately, the smell is not so unbearable. However, Chu Xun still felt that if it was not necessary in the future, it would be better for him not to fight with these zombies.
After all, he is not a murderer, and killing zombies similar to humans will not give him any perverted pleasure.
However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and at the moment when Chu Xun killed this zombie, a cold voice also sounded in his head.
"Host triggers title quest - Zombie Slayer!"
"Mission background: Zombies are one of the main culprits that led the earth into the end times, and only by solving all the zombies can human beings become the master of the earth's civilization once and for all."
"Mission Objective: Kill ten ordinary zombies!"
"Quest Reward: Get a random summon card."
"Mission time limit: 24 hours, if the time limit is not completed, the task will be invalid."
Title quests? Random summoning cards?
The system prompt sound that sounded in his head made Chu Xun's spirit lift.
I didn't expect this super savior system to have this title task in addition to the so-called main quest. Although the rewards are a bit vague, what kind of random summon cards are, the difficulty of the quest is correspondingly much lower than the main quest.
And more importantly, there is no punishment for this task!
"It seems that the system is not a cheat...... although he doesn't know what that so-called random summoning card is, Chu Xun definitely doesn't want to let go of any opportunity to become stronger, let alone killing just ten ordinary zombies, this level of test should not be a problem with his current strength.
It's just that it seems that this disgusting day must last for a while......
Looking at the zombie on the ground that was no longer moving, Chu Xun shrugged his shoulders slightly, then clenched his sword and continued to move forward.
However, he didn't know that in the grass not far behind him, a pair of cold eyes were watching him.
His eyes were full of greed and desire!
