Chapter 20
“I wonder if adding Constitution points can grant immunity to the zombie virus.”
Fang Bai muttered to himself. After taking off his motorcycle helmet, thick cotton coat, cardboard armor raincoat, and two pairs of jeans, Fang Bai felt light and cool all over, very comfortable and agile.
But he lacked a sense of security.
Fang Bai stroked the Worn Zombie Bracer on his left hand. This bracer looked like it was made of metal, and it covered his entire forearm.
If he encountered danger, the Worn Zombie Bracer might be able to act as armor and block some attacks.
“If only I could get a full set of light armor equipment, I could maintain my current agility while having considerable defense, and it could also add a bunch of attributes.”
Fang Bai shook his head slightly. After a short rest, he carried the Portable Four-Tube Quiver, held the Compound Bow, and left the underground parking lot.
He glanced at the experience bar. It was now about one-fifth full.
After checking the experience value, Fang Bai immediately started to clean up the battlefield. After scanning around, he found that there were no equipment drops, only some Copper Coins.
Seeing this, Fang Bai could only collect the arrows and pick up the Copper Coins while complaining about the equipment drop rate.
Not many of the recovered arrows were usable. After all, s*ooting zombies meant s*ooting their skulls. Although Fang Bai tried his best to choose weak areas, the arrowheads mostly came into direct contact and collided with the skulls.
Once an arrow hits a hard object, it will basically be damaged, and if a damaged arrow continues to be used, it may cause the shaft to break.
Whether it’s facial disfigurement or hand injuries, it’s not something Fang Bai is willing to accept, so damaged arrows can only be discarded.
However, Fang Bai would scan each one with Mental Power. If he was sure there was no damage, he would continue to recycle and reuse it.
Out of more than twenty arrows, Fang Bai only recovered less than ten. Two tubes of the original Portable Four-Tube Quiver were directly emptied.
Fang Bai didn’t go home to get more. He went directly to the Archery Club to resupply. There were plenty of arrows inside.
When Fang Bai went in, Bai Qing and the others were still practicing. Fang Bai greeted them and came back out, then continued to advance.
The same operation as before. First, s*oot the strongest zombie from a distance to eliminate the biggest threat, then stand in place and k*ll the charging zombies.
But this time was different. An item seemed to slowly emerge from the strong zombie’s body.
Fang Bai was stunned when he saw this.
“Equipment dropped?”
Fang Bai was a little surprised, but he didn’t rush to pick up the equipment and continued to s*oot the zombies.
When the zombies rushed in front of him, he turned and ran. While running, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow, then jumped back, turned around, and released the string.
Whoosh!
The arrow shot through the air, hitting a zombie’s neck and pinning it there. The zombie’s neck tilted, and it rolled to the ground. It wasn’t dead, but it couldn’t get up. It probably had a broken spine.
“Yay, I hit it!”
Fang Bai was happy. This was the first time he had hit a target in this way. Although it was a little off, it wasn’t far off.
Immediately, Fang Bai continued to practice. Soon, he was able to s*oot arrows while running backward without slowing down.
For ordinary people, they might not dare to s*oot arrows backward so boldly, but for Fang Bai, who had Mental Power detection, there was no problem.
Arrow after arrow, Fang Bai tried to s*oot in this way with each arrow, trying to adapt to this rhythm.
This group of zombies soon died at Fang Bai’s hands. He started to walk back, collecting arrows and Copper Coins along the way, and finishing off the undead zombie by the way.
When he walked to the side of the strong zombie’s corpse, Fang Bai looked at the Chopping Knife wrapped in a faint white light on the zombie’s body with some anticipation.
He immediately picked it up and took a look.
“Equipment: Worn Chopping Knife.”
“Effect: Strength +1.”
“Click to equip.”
The so-called Chopping Knife was actually the朴刀 (Pudao) of ancient times, a thick, straight-backed knife with no tip and a metal ring on the handle. When held, it was a short weapon, and when attached to a long wooden pole, it became a long weapon. It was very common in the countryside.
However…
“Click to equip?”
Although Fang Bai was using a Compound Bow now, his eyes still lit up when he saw this attribute.
“I don’t use this piece of equipment, but does it count as equipped if I carry it on me?”
Fang Bai didn’t hesitate and immediately clicked to equip.
White light flashed, and Fang Bai immediately felt his strength increase again. He opened the attribute panel and took a look.
“Level: 3.”
“Strength: 10(6).”
“Constitution: 5.”
“Agility: 5(4).”
“Mental Power: 11.”
“Free Attribute Points: 0.”
Seeing the Strength attribute points change from 9 to 10, Fang Bai was immediately happy.
“It really works.”
Fang Bai immediately tucked the knife into his waist. After confirming that the attribute bonus was still there, he felt even more relieved.
“If this works, I wonder if I can become a dual-wielder. If that doesn’t work, one knife and one sword are also fine. If I can add another one to my mouth, three is also acceptable.”
Fang Bai felt the strength that had reached the human limit. He found a rope and two wooden boards. First, he used the wooden boards to clamp the Chopping Knife in the middle and tie it up, then he put the Chopping Knife in the bow bag to carry.
“Okay, okay, 10 Strength points should be enough for me to push through these zombies.”
Fang Bai moved his body and glanced at the experience bar. He immediately decided to continue farming zombies.
There was no danger, and he could gain experience and equipment. For a time, the discomfort Fang Bai felt from taking off his cotton coat and cardboard armor gradually dissipated.
At this moment, Fang Bai suddenly heard the sound of a car and was stunned.
“A car? Who’s driving?”
Fang Bai was a little puzzled and immediately ran over to check.
The sound of the car came from the road near the exit of the residential area’s garage. There were no zombies there, so Fang Bai could go directly to check.
When he got there, Fang Bai saw a White Sedan speeding towards a group of zombies.
“Killing zombies? It’s not that easy.”
Fang Bai shook his head slightly when he saw this. He had this idea before, but later dismissed it. The reason was simple.
Fang Bai watched the car drive over, but he saw that all the zombies scattered before being hit. These zombies either moved to the sides of the road or hid behind other cars on the road. The car drove past without hitting a single zombie.
After the zombies dispersed, the cars in front of them forced the White Sedan to slow down and pass carefully.
But as soon as it slowed down, the zombies that had dispersed before pounced on it. Fang Bai vaguely heard the sound of glass breaking.
However, the car windows were obviously tinted. The glass was broken, but not completely shattered. It still blocked the zombies. The car owner was so frightened that he slammed on the accelerator and crashed the car into a car in front.
Seeing that the front was blocked, he quickly reversed and tried to back out, but the surroundings were surrounded and blocked by zombies. The car owner probably didn’t have a good view, and when reversing, he bumped into the car he had just bypassed.
This time, it did cripple a few zombies, and the car was stuck in the middle, frantically crashing back and forth. The cars in front and behind were slightly pushed open.
But before a path could be cleared on the road, Fang Bai heard a shrill scream.
Not long after, the White Sedan completely stopped moving.
