Chapter 44: Cultivating Courage
The four girls cautiously walked to the window, their eyes full of fear, but at the same time a glimmer of hope in fear; Hope to be rescued from the now prison dormitory, which keeps them safe but slowly kills them at the same time.
"Looks like someone is coming!" Gao Min couldn't help but be overjoyed, trying to control his voice.
"Could it be that help is finally here?" Li Na observed, and the zombies around her began to move because of the sudden sound.
These creatures, who had been silently surrounding the place all the time, were the root cause why none of the girls tried to escape through the windows, even when they were hungry. However, the sudden sound that broke the silence succeeded in directing them over.
Wu Yijun and Fan Wu also watched this scene with blazing eyes, eager to get out of hell once and for all.
……
Bai Ze, Shangguan Bingxue, Liang Peng, and Chen He stood on the roof of a four-story building, watching the zombies move in their direction with trembling steps.
"That kid is really bold now." Liang Peng couldn't help but nodded, looking ahead in slight surprise.
A few meters away on the ground, Fu Xuefeng was smashing the windows of a nearby building with whatever he found in the middle of the road. The Xuanyuan Sword in his hand was responsible for slashing any zombies that came close, and the windbreaker that Bai Ze temporarily lent him almost eliminated 70% of the risk of being infected by zombies.
With the attributes of the equipment increased by at least two or three times, Fu Xuefeng was no longer afraid of zombies, and after killing dozens of them, he had absorbed enough soul power and became a sixth-level evolutionary.
Fu Xuefeng also decided to follow Bai Ze's advice and allocate the attribute points obtained to agility and physical strength with each upgrade. Every time he felt his strength increase, his gratitude to Bai Ze also increased, and at the same time, he began to realize how big the difference between his own strength and that of others was.
More than two hours have passed since Bai Ze and the others finished discussing the rescue of the survivors who were locked up in the girls' dormitory. The meeting developed a four-part plan.
The first part of the plan is to lure all the zombies or any other creatures in the vicinity by making noise. So that they can avoid having to face other enemies and cut off the chance of being surrounded; At the same time, it also opens the way for retreat in case it is necessary.
"Cai Jingyi, it's your turn." Fu Xuefeng approached the beautiful Cai Jingyi, took off his windbreaker, and handed her the Xuanyuan Sword.
Cai Jingyi nodded, took a deep breath, took a step forward, slowly approached, and looked at the group of zombies whose limbs were cut off by Fu Xuefeng just now.
More than twenty zombies fell to the ground, writhing in pools of blood, blood gushing out of their wounds and roaring in her direction. Although their faces were extremely hideous and the smell of blood was extremely unpleasant, Cai Jingyi still gritted her teeth, raised her sword high, and slashed it fiercely.
[You gain level 4 soul power of ordinary zombies, and stamina +4]
You have been upgraded to level 2. You gain two stat points that can be freely distributed.
Because of the rare treasure of the Xuanyuan Sword, which can penetrate the defenses of almost any level 40 monster or enemy, and has an amazing edge, the zombie's head is cut off like butter.
Cai Jingyi was obviously surprised, she didn't expect to end the zombie's life so easily, because of this, she used so much force in the last slash, if it weren't for the disgusting feeling of flesh cutting from the blade, she might even cut the ground.
Although frightened, but at the same time a little more brave and curious, she cautiously walked towards the other zombie, and seeing that there was no danger, she swung her sword again and slashed.
Suddenly, a mutant dog appeared in the corner, attracted by the sound and smell of blood rushing to his face, looking at Cai Jingyi, his eyes were full of murderous intent.
Cai Jingyi's face turned pale, and her brain seemed to have stopped working, and she could only watch in horror as the mutant dog approached. The current situation is completely different from those incapacitated zombies! Coupled with Cai Jingyi's speed as an ordinary person, she couldn't escape the mutant dog that was at least three or four times faster than a normal person!
Whoosh! …… Whoosh! …… Sou!
There were three high-pitched hissing sounds in the distance, and Cai Jingyi saw that the mutant dog fell to the ground without saying a word.
One arrow pierced the beast's head, another through its neck, and another firmly in its belly. Bright red blood began to slowly pour out of the wound, forming a pool of blood around the lifeless body.
Cai Jingyi looked at the mutant dog that was killed in an instant, turned to look at the building across the street, and quickly remembered that she was not fighting alone. Relieved and thanking with a smile, she began to kill the remaining zombies to upgrade; Every time she leveled up, she would add a little agility and a little stamina, just like Fu Xuefeng, because these two attributes were the most important for survival at the beginning.
Agile enough to both dodge attacks and run away, as well as fight, but it takes physical strength to withstand fatigue, otherwise there is no point.
Chen He sighed softly and lowered his bow.
At present, Chen He's bow is no longer a treasure. It's just an ordinary bow, just like his arrows. So, in order to shoot through the mutant dog's fur, he needs to use some mana to inject some mana into the tip of the arrow. However, since his control over this new energy is not good enough, the consumption is quite high in the long run.
"We should start the third part of the plan as soon as possible." Bai Ze said, jumping downstairs without waiting for an answer.
The second part of the plan, which is to use this opportunity to give those people the courage to fight, is not much time to complete at the moment. Therefore, it is time to implement the last two parts, which represent the real beginning of the battle.
