Chapter 20 Zombie Bear
Without protective gear, you'll lose health.
Once the zombie activated its skill, it could not change direction. Jiang Baiyue circled around to the side and attacked the zombie's head from behind.
-29 damage, the zombie's health bar was almost half, Jiang Baiyue continued to chop down two more times with her axe, but the zombie reacted and turned around to block with her arm.
-7 damage.
-18 damage.
Zombie (Lv1: 63/150)
Jiang Baiyue chopped off the zombie's hands, and with the zombie no longer able to resist, the axe could easily strike its vitals.
After dealing with this zombie, the sac started producing new zombies.
Jiang Baiyue quickly ran over and hit the corpse sac twice with an axe, then retreated and kited the zombies to fight.
The two mercenaries also dealt with the zombies, drawing away some of them.
The level 1 corpse sacs were producing zombies at a faster rate, so Jiang Baiyue had to change her strategy. She sent No. 1 to shoot the corpse sacs, while she and No. 2 were responsible for clearing out the zombies that were attacking No. 1.
Two hours later, the three of them dealt with two nearby corpse sacs. Jiang Baiyue was so exhausted that her clothes were soaked with sweat, and her stamina was so low that the system kept issuing warnings.
[Stamina is too low, movement speed reduced by 10%.]
Jiang Baiyue took out a bottle of mineral water from her backpack and gulped it down, then ate 10 berries before her fatigue disappeared.
After resting for 30 minutes, Jiang Baiyue led two mercenaries to approach the zombie bear. If she remembered correctly, the zombie bear in the game didn't do much damage, only 300 health points.
Its main advantage is its speed. It has two skills: one is a roaring sound wave, which increases the player's stress level, making them feel fear and unable to attack; the other is a savage charge, which accelerates towards the enemy and deals high damage.
Each player has a total of 6 auxiliary equipment slots: head, upper body, lower body, feet, and 2 special equipment slots.
Jiang Baiyue equipped the capybara prop, because the prop would take effect once equipped, so she hadn't used it yet.
As soon as the two mercenaries approached within two meters of the zombie bear, the sleeping zombie bear awoke and unleashed a roaring sonic wave that pierced their eardrums and blurred their vision.
fear!
Jiang Baiyue glanced at her attributes; her stress level had increased by 15 points. At that moment, she even considered turning around and leaving.
Knowing that the item only lasted 30 minutes and that two mercenaries had already rushed up, she tried to suppress her fear and began attacking the zombie bear from behind.
roar--!
The zombie bear sensed an attack from behind, stood up on its hind legs, and was about to turn around to see who was attacking it when it smelled a disgusting odor.
It flailed its arms in the air in frustration, when a mercenary's bullet hit it, and it ran on all fours towards Mercenary Number 1.
"Get out of the way!"
Jiang Baiyue teleported and chased after the zombie bear, hacking at it for three consecutive hits before taking down about 30% of its health, because its defense was too high.
Before its defenses are broken, the actual damage dealt to the zombie bear will be reduced by its defense value.
At this moment, Jiang Baiyue desperately wanted to level up; she also wanted a high defense value.
The zombie bear raised its head and roared.
Jiang Baiyue could see its movements clearly from behind and knew it was about to unleash its Savage Charge skill, so she quickly reminded the two mercenaries to get out of the way again.
The zombie in its savage charge state was several times faster than Jiang Baiyue could run, and in the blink of an eye it rushed to the spot where Mercenary No. 2 had been standing.
If Jiang Baiyue hadn't reminded him, Number 2 would have been knocked away.
Taking advantage of the few seconds of vulnerability after the skill ended, Jiang Baiyue commanded two mercenaries to launch a fierce attack on the zombie bear, while she herself threw a fireball at the zombie bear's head.
The fireball quickly ignited its fur, followed by a pungent, burnt smell.
After her period of weakness ended, Jiang Baiyue retreated to rest. The continuous slashing had taken a toll on her stamina. As she retreated, she ate three berries.
She glanced at her stamina and hunger levels, and once they were almost fully restored, she charged forward to attack the zombie bear again.
Relying on her past gaming experience and the capybara item, Jiang Baiyue and the two mercenaries spent more than 20 minutes grinding down the zombie bear to below 50.
The zombie bear went into a berserk state before it died. She took out her double crossbow and shot it while it was attacking Mercenary No. 1. After two shots, the zombie bear's health dropped to 0.
Its body exploded into pieces and disappeared, leaving a clatter of coins and several items scattered on the ground.
The spoils were 9 bear skins, 213 coins, 12 pieces of poisoned meat, 2 fangs, and 1... heart.
The heart wasn't actually a bloody heart; the material was unclear, and it felt cold to the touch. Jiang Baiyue picked up the heart to examine it without worry.
Heart of Chaos - Anomaly
Description: This item has been mutated by a strong abnormal energy. It has the function of replenishing 50 health points by consuming certain attributes. Each use will cause 10% damage. Cooldown time: 24 hours.
Damage: 0
Damage level: 0%
Consumption options: 50 Stamina / 30 Stress
Note: Can be decomposed to obtain 1 heterogeneous energy core.
This is an anomaly. The last one with the word "anomaly" in its name was that zombie, which gave her an alien energy core.
This item can be disassembled to obtain... but the workbench hasn't been upgraded yet, so there's no disassembly function for now.
Jiang Baiyue liked it more and more as she looked at it; it was worth all the hard work she put into killing the zombie bear. She put it in her backpack but received a warning.
[Backpack insufficient, please expand!]
She opened the backpack panel and saw that all 10 slots were empty.
This game is so bad that you can't even put anything in your clothes pockets, let alone your game backpack. It's practically inhuman.
She could only take out the berries and eat them, and put the props inside; these things weren't suitable to hold in her hands.
With the zombie bear blocking the way dealt with, Jiang Baiyue began exploring this area with many lakes of varying sizes.
As soon as she got there, she saw several carrots. After pulling up the carrots, she found some herbs nearby.
[Sanqi seeds (incomplete): A medicinal herb that can be used in combination with other herbs to make medicines.]
With a gathering skill level of 2, the herbs that are pulled out are still incomplete. Incomplete herbs cannot be put into a backpack slot unless they are roughly the same.
Jiang Baiyue had already made several choices on the way, trying to keep the most intact medicinal herbs possible, and trying not to take up too many backpack slots.
She discarded the damaged Panax notoginseng seeds, considering it an opportunity to improve her harvesting skills.
After searching around the lake, Jiang Baiyue also saw a dilapidated wooden house with spider webs covering the walls and beams, and a white cocoon in the corridor.
That's a spider's nest.
Jiang Baiyue commanded two mercenaries to destroy the nest, while she waited for the spider to emerge after several years to attack it.
Seeing only one spider, she wasn't afraid at all. The sound of her axe cutting through the air continued, and she quickly took down the spider, obtaining 6 spider silk and 1 gland.
Inside the wooden house, there were two level 0 zombies, which were easily dealt with.
After looting the cabin, Jiang Baiyue checked the time; it was already 5 PM.
She brought up the panel to view the map.
Large areas of the map are black, and only the areas that Jiang Baiyue has explored are clearly visible.
She was standing quite close to Space Station 1, but there was an area in the straight line that she hadn't explored yet, so she decided to head towards that area to reach Space Station 1.
The mercenaries followed Jiang Baiyue wherever she went, keeping up with her without saying a word.
