Chapter 51 Demonic Mark
Chiyou started searching for other survivors in the surrounding buildings, centered around the treasure chest.
Although if you don't guard the treasure chest all the time, there is a risk that the ice jade parts will be taken away by other people.
It's not like anyone can force open the treasure chest.
But Chiyou can only bring back two people in one trip, and sooner or later the treasure chest will be in a state where it only needs one or two more people to open it.
If someone happens to come by then, with the sacrifice of one or two people, they can open the treasure chest and take away the parts.
But there is nothing we can do about it. It is useless to worry.
What's more, the locations of the parts will be updated every morning.
Even if it is taken away by someone else, Chiyou can still relocate it.
He found a group of survivors in a community one kilometer away from the square, a total of six people. Chi You broke their limbs and spines, grabbed two of them and returned to the square and threw them into the treasure chest.
Then he went back and arrested two more people, but by the third time, there were supposed to be two people in the room, but now there was only one left.
"Did you use any skills or equipment to restore your body or forcibly move it away?"
The apocalypse is like a real large-scale online game, with endless special props and skills, and treatment and transfer are not that rare things.
Chiyou threw the remaining man into the treasure chest. The Devil's Eyes trembled and opened slightly, but the extent was almost imperceptible.
After all, it would take dozens of people, and it would be abnormal if the scale was very large.
Chiyou's progress towards unlocking the Killer Medal.
So far, including the hunting in the supermarket yesterday.
The Murderer Medal has accumulated to 200.
Another 300 people will be enough to complete the advancement.
The unadvanced Killer Medal can provide 60 points and 5% attribute enhancement, and there are two extremely powerful skills. Although the damage has prerequisites, the second extremely practical abnormal damage resistance is permanent.
Chiyou is still looking forward to seeing how powerful the medal's properties will be after being upgraded.
Opening the treasure chest should increase the progress by another 100.
But sometimes you encounter a group of survivors at a relatively far distance.
He certainly couldn't use the same method as before, destroying them and transporting them one by one, so he could only kill a few and bring back two.
Giving the treasure chest to eat two people may actually solve the problem of five or six people.
In this way, the medal may be upgraded at the same time as the treasure chest is opened.
For a moment, Chiyou became more motivated.
On the dilapidated streets, afterimages flashed by at a high speed, constantly shuttling between buildings, occasionally colliding with zombies. The zombies were either cut in half by the zombies' waists, or kicked away, crashing into buildings and creating a cloud of blood.
Chiyou was very efficient. In a short while, he had caught almost all the survivors nearby.
Fifty-nine people in total.
The number is not as large as imagined. After all, it has been two months since the apocalypse, and at least 90% of the original survivors have died at the hands of zombies or other people.
It is hard to say whether there are 10,000 survivors in a city with a permanent population of 10 million.
If these people were evenly dispersed throughout the city, there would surely be some lucky ones who would slip through Chiyou's net during his search.
It would be good enough if we could find fifty-nine people.
Unfortunately, the clone skill is still in cooldown.
Otherwise, if two people search together, the speed will be faster.
Chiyou picked up the skill card that came out of the treasure chest and went to search further away.
Many players have skill cards that they have not yet learned.
The reason is not to wait to meet the skill merchant like Chiyou.
Equipment merchants and skill merchants are still undisclosed information, and most people don't know about it yet.
They didn't learn skills because they had learned the same skills or they were not compatible, so they stayed to see if they could exchange with others in the future.
The end of the world is a world where order collapses.
However, order will not collapse forever. As time goes by, a new order will slowly be pieced together, although the new order will only work for some people.
For example, the simplest trading order.
If someone held a skill book and wanted to exchange something with Chiyou, Chiyou would probably snatch it away directly, and then chop it to pieces because he couldn't let someone who held a grudge against him live.
Because Chiyou has more power than others, he can just rob whatever he wants. Even if it is known by outsiders, it will not have any impact except adding some bad reputation to him.
The trading order is invalid here in Chiyou.
But if the two forces are of the same level, or just a little stronger, and they really fight, it is hard to say who will live and who will die. At this time, as long as the two sides do not have clear contradictions or hatred, they will follow the order of the transaction.
Order is effective in them.
But it doesn't always work.
If the next trading partner is someone much weaker than them, the order in them will collapse.
Of course, there are also those who still follow the trading rules even if the other party is much weaker, but they cannot represent the majority.
Just like there are kind people like Li Shouyun who are willing to protect strangers even at the cost of their own lives.
However, there are also evil people like Chiyou who would choose to harvest 500 lives without hesitation just to upgrade the murder medal.
Both are extreme and cannot represent the majority of people.
Most people are not as kind as Li Shouyun, but they are not as evil as Chiyou.
Chiyou successfully opened the treasure chest before night fell.
There were a total of 112 people, and the number of lives actually taken by Chiyou was 205.
A little less than expected.
After the treasure chest spit out the card, it turned into a scarlet light that penetrated into Chiyou's body, and finally condensed into a tattoo under his neck that was the same as the Devil's Eye on the treasure chest.
This is the sign of having opened a demon treasure chest. Every time a demon treasure chest is opened, the opener will have an additional sign on his body.
Some people speculate that if a certain number of them are opened, it is very likely that one will receive some hidden mission, or obtain hidden items and skills. However, it is also possible that it is some kind of curse that will kill the person immediately if the conditions are met.
But this is just speculation.
Among all the treasure chests, devil treasure chests account for the smallest proportion. They are rare to come across, not to mention that it is useless for one person to open three or four treasure chests. At least Chiyou met a person who opened five devil treasure chests during his journey with Li Shouyun in the form of a soul in his previous life.
It can only be triggered if at least five demon treasure chests are opened, which is an almost impossible task.
By the way, since there are devil treasure chests, there must also be angel treasure chests, or god treasure chests or something like that.
This type of treasure chest also needs to be swallowed to open, but what is swallowed is not the player, but things like equipment and skills. After opening, it will also leave a mark on the player.
In his previous life, Li Shouyun opened a total of six angel treasure chests. Chiyou didn't know whether he opened any more in the future. When his consciousness faded, Li Shouyun only established a very safe base and had a child, but the end of the world has not really ended yet, and he doesn't know what will happen next.
As his thoughts raced, Chiyou picked up the card that the devil's treasure chest spat out. Along with a prompt that the level had increased by one, the attributes of the equipment unfolded before his eyes.
