Chapter 180: A Dog at the Beginning

23.1 per cent for option two, 30.8 per cent for option three and 46.1 per cent for option four.

……

[Option 4]

【A large dog】

……

Dog.

Zheng Zhuo clicked into this option.

The frame quickly receded from front of the eye. His consciousness entered his body and began to feel the wind, the light, the smell of corpses in the air, and......

Barking!

A dog barked. A large dog with golden fur jumped out of Zheng Zhuo's feet and rushed towards the zombies who were holding the wheels.

Woof!

is a golden retriever. It knocks the zombies apart, attacking and pulling them with its teeth and claws.

Several zombie hands were ripped off in the chaos. Green plasma splattered on the Golden Retriever's body.

"Good ......!"

The capable-looking old man saw this scene in the rearview mirror and decisively stepped on the accelerator.

Buzzing!

The engine roared.

The zombies' hands were ripped off, and they were unable to hold on to the wheels anymore. The RV broke free and slammed forward. The front of the car smashed into some of the obstacles and debris on the street, and slid in front of Zheng Zhuo in a large "V" shaped corner.

The old man didn't close the door on the side of the RV. At this moment, the wide open car door was shaking in front of Zheng Zhuo's eyes.

"Get in the car!"

The old man shouted in a hoarse voice.

“……!”

Zheng Zhuo didn't pause. He jumped forward, grabbed the handle on the side of the door, and jumped into the RV.

Barking!

A dog barked from below.

Zheng Zhuo looked back and saw that it was the golden retriever who caught up.

"I can't leave your ...... behind!"

Zheng Zhuo slammed his leg between the railings of the RV. He jammed himself, bent down, and reached out his hands to grab the golden retriever's shoulder blades on either side.

"Hmm...... Belch! ”

Zheng Zhuo used all his strength to pull the golden retriever up from the ground! He exerted too much force and flipped backwards......

"Going! Hold on! ”

The old man shouted angrily in front of him. With another "buzz", the RV gave full throttle and rushed out of the obstacle ahead.

The corpse tide happened suddenly, and the city gates used for defense were not reinforced with insurance. The RV slammed open all the portals and flew out of the city.

It landed on the ground, bounced its tires a few times, and then drove away into the wilderness.

……

“…… It's already far away. ”

On the endless wilderness, Zheng Zhuo held on to the car door and looked back. The city he was in was now a black jungle on the plains.

The wind was dry and carried sand. Zheng Zhuo was still in a trance for this fateful moment, and the afterglow suddenly flickered.

A large mass of stuff was thrown over.

Zheng Zhuo caught it with a backhand.

It's a towel.

"Rub your dog."

In the driver's seat, a lean, gray-haired old man held a tobacco in his mouth and pointed behind his back with his thumb while playing the steering wheel.

Zheng Zhuo lowered his head. The golden retriever stuck out his tongue with a snort. Its face was covered in green zombie blood and yellow corpse oil.

The world is really a big gift in every sense.

Zheng Zhuo sighed inwardly and began to clean up the filth on the dog's body.

The dog is quite well-behaved. It was quiet and unmoving.

During the wiping, the old man looked at Zheng Zhuo and the golden retriever.

"The dog is good." He praised, "In this world, a good dog is more precious than a daughter." ”

"Really?"

"Of course. After all, whether these hairy things bite zombies or are bitten, they will not be zombies. It's not the same as people. ”

It's different from people......

"People, if you are bitten, you will become zombies. Biting a zombie will also turn into a zombie. Zombie blood is exposed to a lot, and it is easy to become ...... What a hassle......"

The old man muttered to himself and drove the car.

Will zombies become zombies if they have more blood contact?

Zheng Zhuo was wiping the dog's hand stiffly.

His movements were seen by the old man. The old man laughed.

"That's fine! The skin isn't broken, and you're fine if you're soaked in zombie blood. Even if there is damage, there is a way to control it in time...... Of course, there is no way to get fatal wounds! ”

"You're very experienced." Zheng Zhuo said.

"Of course. I'm not like you guys who have lived in the 'colony' for three years. ”

The old man snapped his tobacco. Zheng Zhuo can see clearly now, it should be some kind of chewing tobacco leaves.

The old man seemed to regard Zheng Zhuo as a resident of the city. Zheng Zhuo also had no intention of explaining this aspect. He acquiesced.

"Thank you for bringing me out." Zheng Zhuo said.

"Hah! It's been a long time since I've seen a young man as polite as you. The old man laughed, and the tobacco leaf twitched between his teeth, "Didn't you save me first? You and your dog...... In this world, you can live a long time with gratitude and retribution! ”

"Yan Futi." The old man said, "My name." Boy, what's your name? ”

"Zheng Zhuo." Zheng Zhuo touched the golden retriever's head and said to the old man.

"Oh. Nice, nice ......"

The old man Yan Futi repeated these two words, holding his steering wheel and continuing to drive. Zheng Zhuo didn't know what he was doing.

……

In short, Zheng Zhuo successfully entered the world. The first step is to become a companion with the target person.

In this way, although it is a little more thrilling, it is still a good start.

Besides......

Besides.

By the way, what about young women?

Zheng Zhuo suddenly thought that it should be the young woman who entered the [Zombie World] with him. He looked left and right, and then opened the [Collective Subconscious] panel.

(Hello?) Feed? )”

(Can you hear me?) I'm Zheng Zhuo—)"

"I hear you. Don't be so loud. ”

Suddenly, a voice came from very close.

Where is it?

Zheng Zhuo turned his head to look left and right.

Interior of the carriage. Geezer. Wasteland outside the window.

There was no golden shadow in sight, and no objects that emitted golden light were seen.

"Here. Over here. See below. ”

Zheng Zhuo lowered his head.

The golden retriever looked at him.

"Huh."

"That's me."

The Golden Retriever's mouth opens and closes. It doesn't emit human voices. The voice sounded directly in Zheng Zhuo's head, the same as before.

"You ......"

"Shhhh Don't make a sound. will make the target doubt you. Just say it to me in your head. ”

Turned into a dog!

Zheng Zhuo swallowed the second half of the sentence into his stomach.

……

The young woman has become a dog.

Zheng Zhuo was dumbfounded by this fact for a moment. He didn't move for a long time.

The young woman was not as surprised as Zheng Zhuo. It lay on the floor of the carriage and yawned.

"It's not like I haven't been an animal."

Zheng Zhuo heard the young woman sigh.

"It's a hound, and it's not that bad."

"What have you been through?" Zheng Zhuo couldn't help but ask in his heart.

“……”

The Golden Retriever turned his head and did not answer the question.

"You ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Ahh

Zheng Zhuo accidentally spoke again. This time, the old man Yan Futi thought that Zheng Zhuo was calling him, so he turned his head.

"Nothing." Zheng Zhuo hurriedly said.

"Strange boy." Yan Futi glanced at him, "Hey." What do you do in the city? ”

"Huh? Ah......h

Zheng Zhuo glanced at his panel.

[Fixed ability: identification, rapid preparation, transformation].

"Some of the work of qualifying, building and repairing."

He said.

"Oh?"

The old man's voice rose slightly.

It can be seen that the value of maintenance workers in the last days is still quite large.

"It just so happened that when I first drove out, the car hit a little hard. I'll take a look at it later. The material is in the back seat, whatever you want. ”

"Ah...... Good. ”

Zheng Zhuo agreed.

However, can you fix the car yourself?

He wasn't too sure. He opened the [identification] and looked at the materials—all linen, steel pipes, parts, and the like.

Who knows, [Rapid Preparation] lit up at the same time.

……

[Preparation: Medium Backpack]

【Preparation: Folding knife】

【Preparation: speargun】

[Can be prepared: spoiler nails]

……

"Wow."

The frame popped out densely, startling Zheng Zhuo.

It turned out that [Quick Preparation] showed the names and assembly methods of all the items he could now assemble with the materials in front of him.

There are a lot of things piled up in the back seat of the car. But there aren't many things that can be combined.

Most of the assembled products are some parts. Zheng Zhuo found the materials needed to make a [Medium Backpack] and planned to make one for himself.

In addition, he found the blade of a knife without a handle.

That's a big deal.

[Identification] shows that he can craft [Folding Knife], [Speargun], or [Spoiler Spike] with this bladed weapon.

Zheng Zhuo briefly looked at the production steps. The finished product [folding knife] is a portable knife in the literal sense. A speargun is a blade tied to a long stick that can be stabbed. [Spoiler Nail] is a smashing blade, which is installed on the front end of the RV, which can cause more damage when hitting zombies, and can also prevent zombies from picking up the front of the car.

So......

What to make out of it?
