Chapter 34: Through the Perimeter
It has been the seventh day since Gu Zheng followed the Fire Feather Adventure Group into the Zombie Plains, the Zombie Plains is quite vast, and it took seven days for the people of the Fire Feather Adventure Group to just reach the fork in the road, according to the plan of the previous days, everyone did not go to the labyrinth to wade into the troubled waters, but chose another direction to go deep into the Zombie Plains. From this point of view, Gu Zheng admires Wu Ju very much, as an adventurer, strength is actually not the most important, since he is called an adventurer, then naturally every time he goes out, it is an adventure, no matter how strong his strength is, he will encounter danger, and there is no absolute safety. As an adventurer, the most important thing is to be self-aware and know where the limits of your power are, so that you can get the maximum benefits.
It's a pity that although there are many self-aware people in this world, there are more people who feel good about themselves and feel that they will definitely be favored by fate. This kind of person Gu Zheng has seen a lot, and his strength is obviously not strong, but he likes to fish in troubled waters in chaotic places, and this kind of person often dies very quickly.
Of course, Gu Zheng had also heard that some lucky people were favored by destiny in the chaos and got the treasure, but that was not the end. Generally speaking, if you don't have a deep background, even if you get the treasure, it is a puff who is not guilty of it, either let some forces swallow not even a bone left, or not even a penny of the treasure is blackmailed. There is no way, those big forces have spent so much manpower and material resources, but they are touched by small characters with no background, then no one will be able to bear it.
But people have a fluke mentality. The ending of the minor characters who occasionally get the Arcana is not celebrated, but the process of getting the Arcana is talked about, so every day there are some young people who have just entered the adventure industry who want to try their luck. After all, there is a resurrection system in the Ark, which can be regarded as giving these young people a chance. Even Gu Zheng experienced this period back then, and when he died more often, he naturally understood. Therefore, Gu Zheng didn't bother to dissuade him, just waiting for reality to teach these young people a lesson.
After passing through the fork in the road, there were many fewer marks on the ground, and when the sky was a little dark, the air began to smell fishy. Since it is called the Zombie Plains, the most common monsters here are naturally zombies. The so-called zombies are controlled by parasites, corpses that have lost their minds, there are people, there are all kinds of creatures, although the species are different, but they have one thing in common, that is, although the parasites control the movement of the body, but they can't stop the corruption of the body. This fishy smell is the best sign that the zombies are not far away.
The martial artist at the front stopped, raised a hand high and swung it vigorously, which was the signal that had been agreed on a long time ago. The Terrans entered the Zombie Plains on a large scale to slaughter zombies, and even if these zombies were stupid, the parasites in their brains still had a little bit of wisdom and would avoid the large-scale Terrans. But as creatures, these parasites naturally have curiosity and instinct, and although they dare not approach, they will gather far behind the Terran army, wanting to know what is going on. Therefore, if you want to go deep into the Zombie Plains, the first battle of the Fire Feather Adventure Group is to kill through this zombie encirclement.
The momentum of the Terran adventurers is extremely huge, so there are not a few zombies gathered around, but fortunately, the zombies also know how to evolve, and with the increase of strength, their wisdom will also increase, so that those powerful zombies know how to avoid evil and run away a long time ago, and those who stay here are just low-level goods. Although there are a lot of them, they are not difficult, just to avoid moving too slowly to attract more low-level zombies, so this time you have to choose to break through quickly.
After the Wu Ju gave the signal, he rushed forward first, and the left and right sides quickly followed. Gu Zheng and Yang Xin stayed on the left and right sides of the middle of the team, responsible for protecting these logistics personnel who were not strong in combat. After about ten minutes of rapid travel, the fishy smell in the air became heavier and heavier, and when I climbed a slope, my vision became broader, and as far as the eye could see, there was a dense sea of zombies in front of me.
It is actually an exaggeration to say that it is an ocean, although there are a large number of zombies gathered here at this time, there is a considerable distance between them, and it is very different from the zombie tide that Gu Zheng has experienced in the labyrinth. The hierarchy between zombies is not strict, powerful zombies devour weak zombies, and zombies of the same level will devour each other as long as they are too close, so if zombies are not completely sure to devour each other, they will keep a safe distance from their kind.
At this time on the plain, countless people, dogs, wolves, falcons, sparrows, ...... Countless types, the mighty zombies are there looking into the distance sluggishly, swinging with the wind, it doesn't look terrible, but very happy. There's no way, ordinary zombies are just parasite-controlled corpses, and their physical fitness is not strong, plus their brains are controlled and their limbs are uncoordinated, so it's strange that they don't look stupid.
There is no need to arrange any more formations, Wu Ju took out a mask from the space backpack and put it on his face, and then jumped directly from the hillside and landed among the zombies, a zombie watched his companion in front of him be trampled on his head, and changed to a strange guy in front of him, and his mouth seemed to roar, but before the sound came out, he was smashed by Wu Ju's punch. Then Wu Ju turned into a humanoid killing machine, sweeping his legs with his fists, killing several zombies with each blow, and the speed of moving forward between kills was also quite fast, but in the blink of an eye, he flew out more than ten meters. It was only at this time that a zombie who was standing next to Wu Ju opened his mouth and spoke, one can imagine how limited the wisdom of these low-level zombies is. It's just that before this zombie is finished, a fist swung directly over, making it follow in the footsteps of its kind.
Wu Ju and the others worked in a team, cooperating with each other to leave a bloody road in the zombie group, Gu Zheng took the prepared mask, tied his clothes tightly with a rope, and then jumped down the hillside. The bodies of these zombies are badly decomposed, with a lot of pus, and they also contain toxins, and this sealed equipment can effectively protect the body.
After Gu Zheng landed, he began to clean up the zombies around, during which Li Yue and other logistics personnel also jumped down, when everyone arrived, Gu Zheng was in front and Yang Xin was behind, and the two protected many logistics personnel to catch up with Wu Ju and others in front, and successfully converged in formation. In less than an hour, everyone had passed through the zombie crowd and passed through the periphery of the zombie plain.
