Chapter 4 They Are Coming

The morning light was bright.

The dazzling sunlight shone directly on Xiao Jian's face, causing him to frown in his sleep and turn over habitually...

Xiao Jian suddenly felt a sharp pain on the top of his head, and woke up under the stimulation of the severe pain.

He took out his mobile phone to take a picture. The "single horn" on his head seemed to be a little softer than yesterday. He touched it gently with his hand...

"Hiss..."

A sharp pain suddenly came from the "single horn".

The case was solved. It must have been touched accidentally when he was half asleep.

The sun was very hot.

Xiao Jian raised his head. In the narrow sky surrounded by the fog wall, the sun had hung in the center again without knowing when, emitting its infinite heat.

The fire next to him had long been extinguished, and the embers were cold and even a little damp.

Yesterday, after eating four buckets of rice, Xiao Jian couldn't stop his sleepiness.

I was tired to begin with, and after eating, I felt sleepy. Although I was still thinking about whether zombies would appear at night, I fell asleep unconsciously when I heard the crackling bonfire.

I slept quite comfortably this time, but when I got up today, I suddenly felt something was wrong with my whole body.

It was not just the small stones that hurt, nor was it all because of my stiff neck, but more of it was... cold.

In order to save fuel, I didn't add much firewood to the bonfire, and it was probably extinguished not long after I fell asleep.

I was frozen all night, and I didn't feel it when I fell asleep, but now I woke up and my joints were stiff.

This was the first time he slept on the ground since he was born.

He turned over and basked in the sun for a while, and the cold and numb feeling gradually subsided.

The first thing Xiao Jian did after getting up was to look at his plants.

The sunflower stretched its petals to the sun as much as possible, and there were a few drops of dew dotted in between.

The two pea shooters were also very energetic. Even without the breeze, they were swaying gently, and Xiao Jian's mood also improved.

The fence was intact, the iron barricades did not move, and everything seemed normal except that the trap... the stones under the foot pit were a little wet by the night dew.

Just when Xiao Jian checked the foot pit and extended his sight into the fog, he suddenly discovered something.

Outside the iron barricades, there seemed to be something in the thick fog.

To be precise, the fog was stirred and surging by something, forming a boundary layer of different shades like clouds.

What is it?

Zombies?

Or something else?

"..."

Xiao Jian frowned slightly and pricked up his ears to carefully distinguish the sounds in the thick fog.

It would be better if it was a zombie, and not too many of them. It would be even better if they were killed by the pea shooters just now...

Trapped in the small courtyard, without any supplies, even sleeping under the tent, the source of water became a big problem.

If there were more zombies, more gift boxes, and more resource cards, it would be great...

"Uh, uh uh..."

"Huh... Huh..."

In the fog, some tiny sounds could be heard.

When the deep throat sounded, Xiao Jian couldn't help but be happy.

It's zombies!

Zombies mean gift boxes!

Gift boxes mean resource cards!

So, what should we eat tonight?

Just as Xiao Jian was thinking about whether to make some noise to attract the zombies, the zombies' voices suddenly became louder.

"Huh..."

"Uh uh..."

"Ha yi..."

The noisy throat sounds overlapped, and at the same time, an overlapping shadow gradually emerged from the fog...

Fuck!

Although it's good to swipe zombies... but swipe too many zombies is bad! ?

Xiao Jian roughly counted them, and there were probably more than a dozen shadows! ?

And just as he finished counting, there were more shadows in the fog...

There were probably more than 20 shadows! ?

The good mood brought by getting up early suddenly disappeared. Xiao Jian held the iron pipe that he had used as a shovel handle before, ran back to the back door of the old house, and hid between the buckets without moving.

The zombie's movement power is 3. Affected by the [Disabled] characteristic, the zombie's movement power is halved, so it can only move two squares per round, that is, two meters.

Under normal circumstances, the zombie is 30 squares away from Xiao Jian. Considering that Xiao Jian and the zombie's body also need to occupy one square, then under no influence, it takes 14 rounds for a zombie to attack Xiao Jian.

In these 14 rounds, without considering critical hits, the output of the two [Pea Shooters] is 28 points, and there are still two points to kill 6 zombies.

If we add the iron barricades and traps, we can only deal with ten zombies in the most optimistic scenario.

The figures in the fog have stopped increasing, but the number of people has been fixed at 23!!

What should I do! ?

Is he going to die here?

At this desperate moment, what Xiao Jian thought of was the bamboo tube rice he had last night!

The rice is so delicious.

I really don't want to give up the rice!

Xiao Jian sighed and gently stroked the five-meter-long bamboo.

Hmm...

Besides being weak to fire, what else are zombies weak to?

Xiao Jian suddenly thought of a question.

If a zombie falls down, with its crippled body and shaky balance, can it get up again?

It seems that all movies, novels and games have never mentioned the question of what to do if a zombie falls down?

From the point of view of reasoning, whether a zombie can get up depends on what kind of zombie it is.

Most of those who are flexible and can run can get up, as for the one in front of us?

Otherwise...

...try it?

Xiao Jian picked up a few bamboos and placed them horizontally behind the iron barricades, placing one every ten centimeters to ensure that the zombies would roll when they stepped on them.

However, Xiao Jian did not completely pin all his hopes on these "rolling bamboo" traps.

Xiao Jian gave up the iron pipe that he used as a shovel handle.

It turned out that fighting with the powerful zombies in close combat was an unwise choice.

So, he picked up a 5-meter-long bamboo pole and stood far behind the iron barricade.

"Ho...hoho..."

"Uh uh..."

The low throat sound was getting closer and closer, and several zombies appeared from the fog.

"Pea shooter, volley!"

At the moment when the zombies appeared, Xiao Jian immediately switched to the war chess perspective and controlled the pea shooter to attack immediately.

"Puff!"

The pea shooter's attack hit the first zombie in no particular order.

One pea hit its shoulder, and the other hit its head! -

1-

2!

A critical hit!

Xiao Jian was delighted.

The zombie that was hit in the head was shaking on the spot, while its companion passed over his body, continued to move forward, and then crashed into the iron horse.

"Ding ding ding!!"

A series of attacks fell on the iron horse, and the zombie's steel-like nails scratched deep marks on the iron horse.

In the depths of the fog, more zombies appeared, but Xiao Jian still did not change his target, staring at the zombie that was hit by a critical hit...

"Shot!"

"Puff puff..."

The two pea shooters attacked again, and the zombie that had just been hit by a critical hit and skipped a round fell down before even approaching the iron horse.

The zombie that had exhausted its health fell heavily to the ground, and its body soon turned into mist and disappeared.

Xiao Jian looked at the place where it died with expectation...but he did not see the gift box.

"Tsk..."

No shipment.

But it doesn't matter.

The iron horse is still strong, and after a round of attacks, the zombies are still firmly blocked outside.

When a new round began, Xiao Jian immediately controlled the pea shooter to fire again.

"Puff puff puff..."

"Ding ding ding..."

The pea shooter knocked down two zombies in succession, but strangely, the two zombies still did not drop the gift box.

What happened?

Why did the drop rate suddenly become lower?

Or is it that the novice protection period has passed and the drop rate of the gift box is originally so low?

Xiao Jian frowned...

"Puff!"

With the attack of the pea shooter, another zombie fell.

And this time, it finally dropped a golden gift box!

Xiao Jian was shocked and quickly switched back to his physical perspective.

When his "soul returned to its place", the first thing he saw was a dozen rotten faces.

The ferocious fangs were covered with saliva full of viruses, and the bulging eyes were full of hatred for the living and greed for flesh and blood...

With their repeated attacks, their rotten body odor gradually spread.

A stench similar to that of stinky feet and canned herring spread out, the ammonia stench that comes from rotting protein.

The stench in the air was so strong that it seemed as if there were suspended droplets. The smell rushed into Xiao Jian's nostrils, making him almost unable to open his eyes.

This smell is really hard to describe in words, but thousands of words can be turned into a concise character...

"Ugh..."

Why are these zombies so smelly! ?

They are several orders of magnitude more smelly than the previous zombies! !

Xiao Jian subconsciously wanted to take a look at the attributes of these zombies:

╭───Monster Card───╮

Rotten Zombie

Attack 2|Defense 0|HP 5

Movement 3

Features:

[Disabled] Movement is halved

[Infected] Zombie virus is carried in body fluids

╰─────────╯

Rotten Zombie...

I see, no wonder it stinks!

Xiao Jian endured the physical discomfort and poked the gift box on the ground from a distance with the 5-meter-long bamboo pole, then quickly "left his soul" and switched to the war chess perspective.

When the bamboo pole touched the gift box, it was opened, and then a card fell on the "chessboard", and then Xiao Jian "picked it up" with his mind.

Yes, this is the purpose of Xiao Jian standing here with the bamboo pole.

Although a large area of ​​"rolling bamboo" has been laid behind the iron barricade, and the pits dug before can also be somewhat useful, Xiao Jian still decided to take a little risk to pick up in battle.

Isn't the output insufficient?

Isn't the resource card insufficient?

Then we will replenish it while fighting.

It's just that Xiao Jian thought of everything, but he didn't expect that this zombie would actually attack with magic.

"Huh... It stinks."

Although in the war chess perspective, Xiao Jian only has a perspective floating in the air and no actual body, he still "let out a long breath".

After he "caught his breath", he finally had time to check what he had just gained:

……
