It didn't twist.

Even though my knee was almost broken, I couldn't move it.

Xiao Cheng hurriedly dodged the claw that came flying through the air, looked at the hem of her clothes that had been torn by a hand, and then looked at the zombie that stood motionless in place, and fell into deep thought.

This script is wrong.

Why are these zombies so hard to kill?!

Faced with the aggressive scraping damage, the zombie swayed its body awkwardly for a moment, as if it had finally gotten tired of playing, and with its foul-smelling mouth open, it pounced straight at Xiao Cheng.

Looking at the well-defined teeth, Xiao Cheng didn't really want to be bitten. But at that moment, the bits of flesh on the ground also gathered around, drawn by the smell, along with another, even larger zombie.

She was now surrounded and overwhelmed, with bits of flesh already climbing up her ankles and two zombie claws descending on her head.

A green glow suddenly flashed before his eyes, followed by a crisp "ding" sound. Fang He's short knife was now deeply embedded between the eyebrows of one of the zombies. The immense impact caused its head to snap backward, and its thin neck, unable to withstand the force, broke in half with a crack.

Just then, Fang He arrived, carrying half a thigh bone, and slammed it heavily into the chest of the second zombie.

With a muffled thud, sharp bone fragments pierced deep into the zombie's chest, then emerged from the other end, with half a broken heart still embedded in the bone.

Xiao Cheng stared blankly, quickly brushing the bits of flesh off her leg, and belatedly asked, "Just now... did those two zombies suddenly slow down a little?"

“Yes.” Fang He nodded, turned around and pulled the short knife off the zombie’s forehead. He then tore off a relatively clean piece of cloth from its body, carefully wiped the blood off the knife, and stuffed it into Xiao Cheng’s hand.

"Take it, it's better than your blanket."

Xiao Cheng: "..." If only I had known I could bring things in this time!

"You gave me the knife, so what about yourself..." Before she could finish her question, she saw Fang He pull out the half-segment of leg bone and weigh it in his hand with an admiring look.

"What?" He flicked the pieces of flesh off his leg bone twice and looked up at Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng: "..."

It's nothing much, I just admire his attitude of taking from the people and using it for the people.

After this series of events, Xiao Cheng forgot about his earlier question about the zombies slowing down. The number of zombies far exceeded the number of players, and with the addition of the glue monsters causing trouble, they didn't have much time to catch their breath. The zombies and other players clashed and quickly separated them again.

The short knife, made of some unknown material, was exceptionally sharp, capable of cutting through iron like mud. Now there was no more issue of inflicting damage or scratching; Xiao Cheng cleanly and decisively sliced ​​off the skull of a small zombie, his gaze suddenly sharpening.

Embedded in the center of her shrunken brain was a grayish-white crystal the size of a thumb. At the same time, her bracelet suddenly began to vibrate violently, as if it desperately craved the crystal.

Xiao Cheng hesitated for only half a second before swiftly slicing out the crystal. The crystal disappeared the instant it left the zombie's head, and she felt as if something invisible had entered her body.

The bracelet stopped vibrating and made a soft tinkling sound.

A transparent screen automatically popped up in front of her, visible only to her.

Player ID: 99

Current level: Level 1

Experience Points: 10/100

[Initial Ability: None]

[Total Loot: 1 White Low-Grade Crystal Core]

Do I need to obtain crystal cores to increase my experience points, or can I just kill zombies?

To confirm this, Xiao Cheng decided to kill another zombie.

At this point, the players had gradually settled into the game and were no longer in a one-sided massacre as they had been at the beginning. The death toll had also stabilized at a stable level.

The only real threat to them is zombies. As for the glue monsters, once their characteristics are understood, they won't die unless they get entangled and drained.

Xiao Cheng glanced at the big screen. The current ratio of players to zombies was 89 to 770. Most people were struggling to cope and had been injured to varying degrees.

Fortunately, there is no setting here where you can be assimilated by zombies.

Taking a moment to catch his breath, Xiao Cheng took a quick look around the area. He didn't see Fang He and the other two, but he did see the half-blind Qiao Liao. His way of dealing with zombies seemed a bit strange; he seemed to be able to accurately predict their movements each time, and then calmly dodge away.

We can't keep hiding like this forever, can we?

Just as Xiao Cheng was thinking this, she saw him pull a gun out of his pocket...

A retractable whisk?!

With a flick of his arm, the silvery-white tail twisted tightly into a single strand, its tip piercing the zombie's brow. With a hook and a curl, it brought out grayish-white crystals, and red and white stains splattered, yet the whisk remained spotless.

Xiao Cheng: "..." Are you sure this is a zombie movie, and not some weird cultivation movie?

Just as she was engrossed in watching, a child zombie, under the cover of several glue monsters, sneaked over stealthily. When it was only a step away from her, it suddenly pounced, opened its large mouth with fine teeth, and bit down hard on the back of Xiao Cheng's neck.

There was a crisp clanging sound.

The sharp teeth collided with the blade, almost sparking.

Xiao Cheng gripped the knife handle tightly with his backhand, twisted it forcefully with his side, and the sharp blade sliced ​​open both corners of the child zombie's mouth, all the way to the base of its ears.

The child's pale eyes were bloodshot, and it let out a shrill scream. The glue monsters following behind it suddenly began to disintegrate and recombine. Xiao Cheng watched as they piled up higher and higher, eventually forming a flesh-pink mecha.

It's a real mecha.

The child zombie let out a wild, shrill laugh, scrambled onto the mecha in a few quick movements, and manipulated it to raise its right foot high, stomping it down heavily towards Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng: "..." What the hell is this thing?!

The nearby players were also shocked, and a chorus of "Holy crap!" echoed around them.

The mech's objective is to attack Xiao Cheng, but it won't only attack Xiao Cheng.

Soon, the other players couldn't take it anymore. One of them was ambushed by the glue monster and collapsed to the ground in a very sorry state. He hurriedly tore off the pieces of flesh that had started sucking his blood, and angrily cursed, "Who brought this monster here?! If you want to die, don't drag so many people down with you!"

But Xiao Cheng was also helpless.

She had tried her best to lure it to the less crowded outer areas, but the child zombie was clearly caught up in the moment and had long forgotten about her, launching an indiscriminate attack.

"Cooperate! Let's work together to take it down!" a player shouted, but his voice was extremely weak and barely noticeable in the horde of zombies.

"How are we supposed to fight this?! There's absolutely no opening!"

The surface of the sticky monster is quite elastic; to use a more technical term, it's a non-Newtonian fluid. Weapons can penetrate it, but they can't do any damage.

Suddenly, someone slapped their forehead and shouted excitedly, "We all forgot! Initial ability! Use the initial ability!"
