Chapter 4
“Zombies that have eaten meat or killed people will definitely become stronger.”
Fang Bai had this feeling before, and now he was basically certain.
“The zombies now are probably newly transformed, even weaker than normal people, but if they all k*ll people or eat meat, they will definitely reach the level of normal people or even surpass them.”
“By then, hunting them will be much more troublesome.”
“So, hunting must be done quickly. Being cautious myself is not enough; I also need to prevent others from giving away free kills.”
Fang Bai came to the seventh floor again. There seemed to be some zombie activity downstairs.
He immediately lowered his footsteps and went down, but after a few steps, the zombie’s roar grew louder.
“D*mn, I’ve been discovered again.”
Fang Bai found that lowering his footsteps was useless.
“How do these zombies perceive? Hearing? Smell?”
This thought flashed through Fang Bai’s mind, and then he continued to walk down. During the process, the pot lid shield was always held in front of his head.
His whole body was well-protected, except for his head, which only wore a cotton hat, making it the most vulnerable.
Protecting his head as he went down, Fang Bai didn’t find any zombies on the sixth-floor staircase, only bloodstains all over the floor and an open door. He went down to the sixth floor and took a look.
A zombie inside had eaten its lower body. Its two legs were bare, leaving only the skeleton. The zombie couldn’t stand up, so it used its two hands to support the ground and moved little by little towards the door, towards Fang Bai. Its shriveled and ferocious face was raised, and its mouth let out roars.
“Whoa, this is a freebie!”
Fang Bai smiled, protected himself with the shield, walked over, and swung the claw hammer, hitting the zombie’s temple.
Crack!
The temple shattered, the claw hammer stuck in the zombie’s skull, and the zombie collapsed on the ground, motionless.
Fang Bai was much more proficient at smashing heads now.
A streak of experience white light entered Fang Bai’s body. As he was observing the inside of the room, he suddenly noticed that the cloth shoes on the zombie’s feet were enveloped in a white light, slowly detaching from the zombie and floating up.
Fang Bai’s eyes widened slightly.
“Ah, this?”
“Is this really a freebie? Not only giving experience, but also giving a piece of equipment.”
Fang Bai immediately picked up the floating shoes and rushed upstairs, returning to his home.
“Equipment: Worn Cloth Boots.”
“Effect: Agility +1.”
“Can be equipped by clicking.”
Fang Bai looked at the cloth shoes. After he picked them up, the white light on the surface dispersed, and the stains on the shoes also disappeared. The whole thing looked like a pair of ordinary old cloth shoes covered in dust, with no apparent magic.
Fang Bai compared the size; he definitely couldn’t wear them, so he directly clicked “Equip”.
White light flashed. Fang Bai didn’t feel anything. The cloth shoes appeared directly on his feet, and his original shoes appeared on the side.
Fang Bai moved his ankles and felt the size was just right. Then he opened his attribute panel.
“Level: 1.”
“Strength: 6.”
“Constitution: 5.”
“Agility: 5 (4).”
“Mental Power: 9.”
“Free Attribute Points: 0.”
“The numbers in parentheses should be my attributes without equipment, and the ones in front are my current attributes.”
Fang Bai understood the meaning of the changes at a glance.
“My original Agility was only four points. This directly adds one point, making my Agility five-fourths of what it was. Such a big change, my movement speed should increase a lot, right?”
Fang Bai muttered.
“I just don’t know how the movement speed is reflected. Is it an increase in leg strength?”
Fang Bai immediately started walking quickly in the room, taking a few steps and then running a few steps. However, he felt that his speed hadn’t changed significantly, as if there was no enhancement at all. Instead, his nerve reaction speed…
“So Agility doesn’t actually reflect movement speed, but nerve reaction speed?”
“Then in this case, speed is actually determined by the Strength attribute value?”
“But if that’s the case, it seems to be more reasonable and normal.”
Fang Bai understood now. He looked down at the cloth shoes on his feet, the grayish-old cloth shoes, and they looked better and better.
After getting used to the newly increased nerve reaction speed, Fang Bai went directly to the door on the sixth floor.
After so long, there was still no movement inside. Fang Bai guessed there were no more zombies, so he knocked on the door and asked,
“Is anyone inside?”
After knocking a few times and seeing no one or zombies come out, Fang Bai walked in, glanced at the keys on the shoe cabinet by the door, tried them, and found they could open the door. He then pocketed the keys.
He glanced around, making sure there were no zombies or people in sight before closing the door and starting to check the room.
Soon, Fang Bai’s eyes were drawn to a matte black motorcycle helmet with a 3C certification on it.
His eyes lit up.
Moments later, Fang Bai, wearing a motorcycle helmet, a military coat, white cloth shoes, a pot lid shield in his left hand, and a claw hammer in his right hand, was searching the room.
With this set of equipment, apart from being a bit hot, he felt completely safe.
Zombies?
Fang Bai felt like he could take on ten… well, two.
After searching, Fang Bai didn’t find anything else except for a bag of rice, some cured meat, vegetables, bread, snacks, and a medical first-aid kit.
However, the three gains of shoe equipment, motorcycle helmet, and medical first-aid kit were enough to satisfy him.
He still didn’t touch the food. He put all the meat in the freezer, only taking the perishable vegetables and the medical first-aid kit to his own home.
After dealing with all of this, Fang Bai took a break and glanced at the experience bar.
“Nine more zombies should be enough to level up again.”
The search continued!
Fang Bai walked downstairs. On the third floor, he encountered another zombie and easily killed it.
The zombies were too weak now.
However, this zombie only contributed a copper coin and some experience points to Fang Bai.
Of course, he also found a bunch of keys on it, but he didn’t know which floor it originally lived on. It wasn’t convenient to try them one by one, so he had to put them away for now.
After killing this zombie, Fang Bai arrived at the entrance of the building.
It was a weekday, and not many young people were at home, which was the only thing to be thankful for.
However, there were still quite a few elderly people who liked to take their children for walks or sit at the entrance of the residential area supermarket to chat and play cards.
Fang Bai glanced at the supermarket. At least ten zombies were gathered at the entrance of the small supermarket, with seven or eight more wandering around. Among them were a dozen or so paralyzed zombie experience packs, but no one dared to pick them up.
Fang Bai was very sure that if he dared to go over, he would be devoured by these zombies in less than a minute and become a new paralyzed zombie experience pack.
Fang Bai brand experience pack, you deserve it.
Fortunately, Fang Bai was more than two hundred meters away from the supermarket, separated by a flower bed. As long as he didn’t act recklessly, he shouldn’t alarm them.
Fang Bai glanced left and right, made sure there were no zombies near the entrance of the building, and then ran directly to the entrance of the next building.
Although the building had access control, thanks to some elderly people, it wouldn’t be locked during the day.
As expected, the access control of this building was also blocked by a brick and couldn’t be closed.
Fang Bai didn’t dare to linger outside and went straight in. But as soon as he entered, a low growl sounded.
“Roar!”
A dark shadow pounced directly at Fang Bai, a stench coming towards him.
