Chapter 257 – Test Fire!
[Oh, today is the International Consumer Rights Day!
This change that Zhou Hao had unintentionally discovered made Zhou Hao’s heart immediately become excited. In such a short period of time, his level rank progress had actually increased by 3%, and in the process, the Ghost System had not prompted him to complete any quests. Then, the possibility of this happening was that, just like playing the game before, fighting monsters could increase experience. In other words, those zombies that he had just killed had caused the level rank progress to rise.
Zhou Hao thought of such a possibility, otherwise, he really couldn’t figure out why it would be like this. As soon as he thought of this possibility, Zhou Hao’s heart fluttered with excitement, and he wanted to go kill the zombie hordes outside to try and see if it would really increase his leveling progress.
If that was the case, then one could not have to wait for the Ghost System to give quests, and could completely go kill zombies and level up their leveling progress.
Zhou Hao was in an excited mood and followed the crowd to the seventh floor. When they arrived at the seventh floor, Qin Xue Ling and Zhu Li Si were already waiting here. As soon as the two took a look at both Zhou Hao, they immediately rushed up and embraced Zhou Hao, giving N more than a few bachelors the envy of their lives.
“Has everyone arrived? Has anyone been left behind? Everyone take a look at their companions to see if anyone is missing.” Dokuroku Zero looked at the big group and then said.
The group then started to look at the people around them to see if there was anyone missing. The group all looked for a while and said that there was no one missing, so Lone Returner then said:
“As you all know, because of the place where we are living now, a lot of zombies died outside. These zombie corpses, after a long time, the things emitted from the corpses will pollute the air, if we continue to live here, it will be harmful to us all. So, we decided to leave this place and choose a good place to live again.”
“That, have you already chosen where?” John Siskin immediately asked, in fact, this was a question that everyone wanted to know in their hearts.
“This, to be honest, it hasn’t been chosen yet, but, you guys have to believe that in this city, there is no safe place, the only thing is to rely on ourselves to avoid these dangers.”
As soon as Lone Returner finished speaking, some people began to whisper, as everyone’s emotions were not very high, after all, as soon as we leave this place, we are going to start a dangerous journey.
“Alright, let’s all face reality.” Lone Returner looked at the crowd and immediately added. “The guns and bullets here, everyone take what you can, they will be used.”
Lone Returner pointed to the pile of firearms on one side, these were all brought back from going out outside before. The firearms everyone can have now, but the bullet aspect is still more needed, so the crowd chose to take more bullets.
As for the rest of those firearms, those who could take it would take more than one, or else they had to throw it here and put it away first.
Lone Returning Zero saw all the people were ready, then said to the group again, “Okay, let’s go, everyone be careful, everyone pay attention to the people beside them, don’t get lost.”
With that, Dokuroku Zero said, he led the way over to the main staircase, and everyone else followed.
Everyone walked towards the stairs in peace and quiet, although there was still a continuous roar outside, the crowd did not dare to make too much noise.
Duo Gui Zero and Zhuge Hongduan walked in front, while Stone and Coyote were at the end.
Zhou Hao also walked amongst them and looked at the group before pulling Qin Xueling and Julius to the front to catch up with Dugu Gui Zero and Zhuge Hongduan.
“What about Li Tianhong?” Zhou Hao came to Dugu Returning Zero’s side and immediately asked in a low voice. Because Zhou Hao realized that he did not see Li Tianhong inside this team, he thought that Dugu Guiye was still keeping Li Tianhong inside the compartment, purposely not taking him with him and letting him fend for himself.
“Kill.” Dokgoo Guiye walked quickly in front of him, answering Zhou Hao’s question with a clear voice.
“Really killed?” Zhou Hao could not have imagined that Dokgoo Guiye had even done it.
“What’s the point of keeping it if you don’t kill it?”
“……”
The crowd all carefully walked upstairs, the building could be over sixty stories high, and it would also take some time to walk to the top. Walking to the top, the crowd would have to be tired, but even if they were tired, everyone didn’t have any complaints.
Before Dugu Zero ordered people to do that “wooden bridge”, already done, can’t imagine that today only done to be used.
As long as we walked to the other building, it would be much better, because at that time, Dugu Gui Zero also found that this row of several buildings, are the same height, but do not know whether they are connected between these buildings or separated. After walking through these buildings, they were already far, far away from those zombie hordes, and as long as they didn’t encounter any zombie hordes over there, then, the group would be safe as well.
As Zhou Hao walked, he was also discussing things with Dugu Returning, anyway, we were all in the same boat now, so Zhou Hao wasn’t afraid to tell them about his plan.
“Now that we’re out of here, we must pick a good place to land.” Zhou Hao said this, still thinking about killing zombies to see if his level rank progress would increase.
“Definitely, but in the process, we will inevitably have to go down to the ground, which will make us much more dangerous.” Lone Returner said worriedly, also looking back at the people behind him. The number of people in the group was indeed too many, if it was just a few people, traversing through the streets would be a lot more flexible. However, now that so many people were going to walk on the streets, it would easily attract the zombie hordes. Escaping would also be a headache, it would be fine if all of them were combatants, but not all of them had a sense of combat.
“That’s not what I’m saying, I’m saying that we choose a place where there’s plenty of food and we can survive for a long time even if we don’t come out in there.” Zhou Hao said.
“Then there’s only the big supermarket, there’s more food here.” Zhuge Hongduan, who was on the side, looked at Zhou Hao and said.
“Well, then it’s more cost-effective to only choose the supermarket.” Solitary Returning Zero also felt that it was so.
“Then it has to be the supermarket as well.” Zhou Hao was helpless even after hearing that, originally, he wanted to choose a place that was a bit more empty, without any tall buildings, so that it would be much more convenient to enclose it with a phantom wall. However, thinking about it, such a place could only be like a university or a factory area or something like that, but the food in these places wasn’t very sufficient.
If the choice was a supermarket, then it would be surrounded by skyscrapers, so it would be much easier to use the Ghost Wall to enclose it. Zhou Hao thought about it more carefully, if he chose a good big supermarket to live in, then he could use the supermarket as the center, and block up the ghost walls between the buildings outside, and between the streets and highways as well. In this way, the surrounding area can form an area of their own, in this area, the zombies outside the wall will not be able to enter, and the zombies in the building inside, their own people, can be completely slowly eliminated.
More importantly, one can still slowly expand the range, with the floor to help block, using the ghost wall saves a lot of numbers.
“Do you know where the nearest large supermarket is?” Zhou Hao immediately asked Dugu Zero, choosing the nearby supermarket would be good, not needing to make the group walk too far on the adventure path. However, it must not be too close to here, after all, that big guy is still here, and that countless zombie corpses are also here, will be very affected by these things.
“Just ask Thin Monkey later, he’ll definitely know where the big supermarket is nearby.” Lone Returner said.
After walking these dozens of flights of stairs, the crowd finally tired their bodies up to the roof.
Before it was still sunny, but now it was covered by clouds. But it wasn’t trying to rain, the weather today was still very good. However, this kind of season right now was the season where there were a lot of thunderstorms and storms, moreover, Dongming City was a coastal city, and the amount of rainfall was a lot more than other cities.
It was also because of the rain that the city was able to become more refreshing, and even though it was ravaged by the zombie virus, it didn’t feel like it was polluted in general. However, if it didn’t rain, then, after a long time, the city would have to turn into a different look.
On the roof of the building, some people had already started to carry the “wooden bridge” to connect to the neighboring building. As soon as Zhou Hao arrived here, he immediately walked over to the direction where the giant elephant zombie was. When he came to the parapet, he stretched his head from this height and looked down, and the zombies below were like ants.
However, at this height, the view was comprehensive, and Zhou Hao immediately summoned the Ghost Sniper Rifle and used the scope to look down. Now Zhou Hao was no longer afraid of summoning and retrieving the Ghost Sniper Rifle in front of the crowd, and anyway, all of them had seen it before, and wouldn’t feel too fussed about his disappearing trick.
Zhou Hao used the Ghost Sniper Rifle to aim at the group of zombies below, and after aiming at one, Zhou Hao immediately shot down at that zombie.
“Poof.”
Zhou Hao was using Ghost Sniper Burning Bullets, and there were a large number of Ghost Sniper Bullets now anyway. While the Ghost Sniper Burning Bullet flew down, Zhou Hao paid attention in his brain to see if that data would change.
The Ghost Sniper Burning Bullet roared down, and directly hit the head of a zombie from high in the air. The Ghost Sniper Incendiary Bullet penetrated all the way through the zombie’s body from the zombie’s head, and then hit the layers of zombie corpses underneath the zombie’s feet.
The Ghost Sniper Incendiary Bullet erupted into a ball of flame as it hit the head of that zombie, instantly burning this zombie. At the same time, it also burned those zombies that crowded around it, but instead of spreading and burning all the way around, the flame couldn’t burn anymore within a range of about five meters.
Because as soon as that giant elephant zombie saw the burning flames, it immediately ran over as if it was red-eyed. The huge limbs continuously stomped on these burning zombies, instantly extinguishing the flames, and at the same time stomping those zombies into a pulp that was more meat than meat sauce.
Zhou Hao didn’t pay attention to these miseries, but instead paid attention in his head to whether his data was changing.
