Chapter 238 – Quest Reward: Ghost Wall
[Happy Lantern Festival everyone, it’s actually considered Valentine’s Day!
The corrosive liquid splashed out by the fat zombie’s explosion instantly covered every single zombie running in front of them. At once, those zombies that were splattered with corrosive liquid, one by one, were unable to continue running, all screaming in pain.
In a short while, these dozen or so corroded zombies, their entire bodies were corroded away, leaking onto the ground like a puddle of water.
When Cheng Mingyu saw this situation, he immediately opened his mouth wide, and his entire body was astonished. Such a shocking scene, indeed have shocked him, that fat zombie, after the body explosion, its liquid will actually be so powerful. It seems that if you see such a zombie in the future, you must keep your distance from it, or else you will be corroded to the point that you won’t even have any bones left.
“Go.”
Zhou Hao said a word to Cheng Mingyu and immediately walked forward, and Cheng Mingyu behind him also immediately recovered his surprise and just followed Zhou Hao closely.
Zhou Hao walked around the range where the fat zombie had exploded, at this time, the fat zombie’s corrosive liquid had already corroded that range to the point where there were gusts of smoke, and even the ground was corroded into potholes.
Zhou Hao took out his navigator again and looked at it before continuing forward. However, Zhou Hao had only walked a few times when he immediately remembered that this navigator appeared to be suggesting a route based on the vehicle’s path of travel, and he would inevitably encounter more zombies if he followed this route like this.
“Do you know how to get over to Lijiang Street? To take the nearest road.” Zhou Hao then stopped and asked Cheng Mingyu.
“Know, know, Brother Hao, what is it, you say.” The current Cheng Mingyu appeared to have seen his future, and was a worshipper of Zhou Hao.
“What else, now you lead the way.”
“Ah, I’ll lead the way, don’t you have a navigator in your hand?”
“Nonsense, this navigator navigates the route that the vehicle travels, we’re going to take the hidden shortcut, do you want to run into a group of zombies for a while, and then a large group of zombies for a while?”
“Oh, Brother Hao, I understand, I’ll lead the way then.”
Cheng Mingyu said, and then looked around before taking the two watermelon knives and leading the way in front. Zhou Hao, on the other hand, summoned the Ghost Sniper Rifle after putting the navigator back.
“Brother Hao, you’re really awesome, you actually changed this sniper rifle out into something that isn’t there like magic.” Cheng Mingyu laughed as he led the way while talking to Zhou Hao. “Do you have any more guns like this, how about giving me one as well? Brother Hao, Brother Hao.”
“No.”
“……”
Cheng Mingyu pointed at a road back through an alley with a displeased face, he was still undeterred and continued to say to Zhou Hao:
“Then why don’t you let me play with guns as well, I haven’t touched a gun in my long life, I have a great love for guns.”
“Want to touch it huh?”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ho, you’re so nice.”
“Come, let me give you a touch.” Zhou Hao said, and handed the Ghost Sniper Rifle to Cheng Mingyu’s body, and as soon as Cheng Mingyu touched the Ghost Sniper Rifle, Zhou Hao immediately put the Ghost Sniper Rifle back, not letting Cheng Mingyu grab the gun, Zhou Hao cheekily said. “Touch it now.”
“……”
Zhou Hao didn’t know the way, and could only follow Cheng Mingyu, and in every encounter with the zombie hordes, Cheng Mingyu was able to go around to another road to avoid these zombie hordes. The two of them then scurried around within the city, although Zhou Hao said that he was not a wayfarer, but once he walked more and turned more intersections, Zhou Hao would be turned around as well.
Zhou Hao could not imagine that he would be so far away from the Lijiang Hotel side, could it be that there was a problem with the direction he took yesterday, so it was getting farther and farther away.
“Are we going to cross the river later?” Zhou Hao asked Cheng Mingyu who was in front of him.
“Yeah, Brother Hao how do you know, didn’t you say you didn’t recognize the road?”
“Uh, there’s a hint on top of the navigator that it’s going to cross the river.” Zhou Hao was finally sure that he really did take the wrong road yesterday.
“Oh, that’s right, right, aren’t your companions all over there at the Tianhong Supermarket? But how did you come here alone, Brother Hao?”
“It’s a long story, yesterday I was chased by zombies, so I ran here in confusion.” It wasn’t a long story, it was just Zhou Hao himself taking the wrong road.
“Oh, but the road is really a bit far.”
“How far?”
“If we walk slowly like this, I’m afraid we’ll have to walk for two or three bells, and if we encounter any more accidents, like always having to dodge these zombie hordes, I’m afraid it’ll take even longer.”
“So far.” But for the two’s current speed, it would indeed take a long time to walk. But if it was just Zhou Hao running alone, then it wouldn’t take so long.
“Then Brother Hao, why don’t we drive, so we’ll be able to go much faster.”
“Driving, aren’t you afraid of startling these zombies.”
“Uh.”
Of course Zhou Hao also wanted to drive, so that he could return to Tianhong Supermarket while sitting in the car, how comfortable. But if he did so, the commotion would be too great, and it would indeed attract the zombies even more, and it might even attract other trouble.
Now have to obediently choose to walk.
However, walking now seems to be much more dangerous than before, because Zhou Hao found that many zombies have now evolved. These evolved zombies were really fast, and once they startled a large group of zombies, both Zhou Hao and Cheng Mingyu had to run away. Zhou Hao running alone is of course no problem, but this Cheng Mingyu’s speed is no different from ordinary people, speed and those evolved zombies compared to the advantage, not at all.
Every time, he didn’t dare to startle these zombie groups, and avoided them from afar. Aside from the small number of zombies that blocked the way, Zhou Hao only had to raise his Ghost Sniper Rifle to shoot these zombies and then he could continue on his way.
In this way, Zhou Hao and Cheng Mingyu carefully arrived at the big river, the same river where Zhou Hao had been attacked by the crocodile zombies before. However, what Cheng Mingyu brought to wasn’t the same location as before, but rather to a bridge, the Changhong Bridge.
The Changhong Bridge was a steel-framed bridge with two levels, the upper level was a sidewalk and a car track, while the lower level was a train track. The train tracks on the lower level of the Changhong Bridge were empty, while on the upper level, the car tracks, there had been a series of collisions, with all kinds of automobiles being collided together. Some people had been killed on the spot, and bodies could still be seen inside the cars, though those caught in the vehicles were preserved, while many had been eaten directly by the zombies.
It was a scene that was a little more miserable, but Zhou Hao could still withstand it. Cheng Mingyu, on the other hand, couldn’t stand it and wanted to dry-heave once after watching it. In the middle of the upper level of the Changhong Bridge, there was a large group of zombies hovering around, but the lower level was much better, and there weren’t any zombies.
Zhou Hao and Cheng Mingyu were only able to pass through the bridge from the lower level, the upper level was simply not passable.
The cars were jammed, the zombies were roaring, and even when they were walking on the lower level, they could hear the roars coming from above.
As the two walked below, they both looked up from time to time, fearing that a group of zombies would suddenly fall from the sky. Zhou Hao would also look down towards the river below, also afraid that there would be a crocodile zombie rushing out of the water below.
Zhou Hao walked cautiously while Cheng Mingyu walked fearfully, and soon the two of them arrived in the middle of the Changhong Bridge.
The morning sunlight shone on the river, creating another beautiful view, and if it wasn’t the end of the world now, then this view would be even more beautiful.
Zhou Hao looked at these beautiful scenery, his heart felt a lot, if he is not now crossing to this city, did not encounter such a post-apocalyptic, then, whether every day is still a mechanical life? Would he still be able to appreciate the beautiful scenery?
Zhou Hao was grieving for the past, when all of a sudden, an electronic synthesized voice sounded in Zhou Hao’s head:
“Ding! Triggering the Kill Level 1 Evolved Zombie Dog quest.”
Kill Level 1 Evolutionary Zombie Dogs Mission: kill the attacking Level 1 Evolutionary Zombie Dogs and pass through the Changhong Bridge without any injuries to your companions.
Mission area: Changhong Bridge in Dongming City.
Killed Level 1 Evolved Zombie Dogs: 0/20.
Any reward: Ghost Wall.
As soon as Zhou Hao saw this mission, he immediately stopped and frowned at this mission in his head.
“Brother Hao, what’s wrong?” Cheng Mingyu saw that Zhou Hao had stopped and immediately asked Zhou Hao. If Zhou Hao didn’t go, he definitely didn’t dare to go either, and right now, in his mind, all he could think of was that the only safest thing to do was to stay by Zhou Hao’s side.
“Be careful around.”
“What’s wrong? Is there some kind of zombie about to rush in.”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Mingyu immediately looked around nervously, gripping the watermelon knives in his hands tightly.
Zhou Hao looked at the mission information in his brain at this moment, not knowing whether to be worried or surprised. Now even the zombie dogs had evolved, before they had evolved, the speed of the zombie dogs was already very fast, now that they had evolved, there was no telling how fast they would be.
Anyone who says that they want to pass through the Changhong Bridge and protect their companions, the companion they are referring to is Cheng Mingyu in front of them. That is to say, Cheng Mingyu can not be harmed, but Cheng Mingyu is an ordinary person, if the speed of the level 1 evolved zombie dog is very perverse, it is really a bit suspenseful.
However, the number of Level 1 Evolved Zombie Dogs was only 20, so this number was fine. But I wonder if these zombie dogs would have any other means of attack besides their speed?
And what was this quest reward Ghost Wall?
Zhou Hao couldn’t figure out what it would be, was it really just a wall, but what use did he want a wall for? If it was something for defense, one could not possibly hold or carry a wall and fight with the enemy.
But since it was something produced by the Ghost System, it shouldn’t be very bad and would definitely be useful.
Since it was a very fast level 1 evolved zombie dog, and since it was definitely a bit difficult to protect Cheng Mingyu by himself, he could only summon the Ghost Wolf now, or else it would really be a bit difficult.
Zhou Hao first looked to both sides of the Changhong Bridge, wanting to see where this group of Level 1 Evolved Zombie Dogs were. Only, there weren’t any zombie dogs appearing on both sides of the bridge, it was empty, there weren’t even any other zombies.
Could it be up there?
