Back at the shelter, Lin Feng put on another coat and waited for his body to warm up.
Based on observation, rotting zombies are not difficult to deal with; their biggest weakness is their slow movement speed. Jungle zombies are as fast as normal people, but their bodies are stiff, so if you can create distance, it's not difficult to deal with them.
The only thing that gave him a sense of terror was the starving zombie; its reddish, dry, and hard skin sent chills down his spine.
As he was thinking, Lin Feng's gaze shifted to the goblin short sword. The lady's dagger was no longer suitable for the battle here; it was time to switch to something else.
After tearing up a piece of clothing and selecting some sturdier branches, Lin Feng assembled them into a simple spear about the height of a person.
After trying to swing them a few times, Lin Feng made two more simple spears, then picked up a black wooden stick, a goblin scimitar, and a few tree branches and re-entered the zombie area.
A simple weapon is not enough to give him a sense of security; in case of trouble, these backup weapons are his greatest source of confidence.
Arriving at the collapsed building, Lin Feng identified the location and laid branches across several large trees, tying them together with scraps of cloth to create a tripping trap.
He quickly set up a trap area, with two tripping traps in front and behind, and placed black wooden sticks, curved knives, and simple spears next to the traps, ready to finish off the target at any time.
After getting ready, Lin Feng arrived in front of the building with a simple spear.
The blackened building was covered in scars, and the remaining floral patterns on the outer walls still hinted at its past. Four zombies, seemingly aware of this history, lay on the patterns, their empty eye sockets reflecting on the past.
Their eye sockets are empty, but the innermost one has an eye.
Lin Feng changed direction and came to their side, gently touching the withered branches on the wall with his spear.
creak...
Both types of zombies moved, turning their heads to the uninhabited side, without looking at the tree branches.
'It's also possible that they're searching for the enemy by scent,' Lin Feng noted, then retreated step by step, gently tapping the ground with his spear to lure the other party closer.
These rotting zombies moved very slowly, each step small and infrequent. As they crowded closer, Lin Feng thrust out his spear and stabbed the first zombie.
With a crisp sound, the rotting zombie's head fell off, and its body, driven by instinct, lunged forward two more steps before collapsing to the ground.
Lin Feng quickly retreated a distance, and the three zombies behind him suddenly accelerated after smelling something, crashing into the fallen zombie and falling to the ground one after another.
"Clang clang!"
The spear struck a rock, and the zombies moved their heads in response to the sound, but did not immediately find their way.
Lin Feng continued to retreat, and after about ten meters, the zombies lost their ability to perceive sound.
Using sound, smell, and sight to calculate the approximate distance, Lin Feng immediately stepped forward and stabbed off the four heads that were still grinding their teeth, piercing through their skulls as well.
Nightmare Points +2
2? Only 0.5 each?
After a moment of surprise, Lin Feng accepted reality. Apart from the zombie virus that might be on the other side, ordinary goblins could probably easily defeat these rotting zombies.
Approaching the building again, Lin Feng lured out nine rotting zombies, gaining only four nightmare points. Then he looked at the few remaining armored zombies inside the building.
Judging from the surrounding ruins, the collapsed building was originally a manor. The area in front of him was probably the backyard, with some kind of withered plant roots remaining. He also found some flower beds and stone benches that were sunken in the soil and had withered flowers.
The zombies inside were likely the owners and guards of this manor. It's a pity there were no useful texts, otherwise he could have learned what had happened here and whether it was the same as in the game.
As he approached, he struck the wall with his spear, and a armored zombie emerged.
The zombie's leather armor was mostly intact, its shoes were in good condition, and it had a sword sheath at its waist, but no weapon in its hand.
Lin Feng tried poking the other's head, and after seeing the rotting face, he showed no fear. He pierced the other's neck with a spear and dragged the zombie away.
After stripping the zombie naked and repeatedly shaking off the stench emanating from his protective gear, he endured the discomfort and selected the shoulder pads, wrist guards, and chest protector to put on. The protective gear felt extremely cold to the touch and was very heavy; wearing it all would hinder his movement.
After getting used to it for a while, Lin Feng continued to lure out and eliminate the zombies in the building, gaining 6 Nightmare Points.
After circling the building and making sure there were no zombies hiding in any nooks or crannies, Lin Feng finally entered. The floor inside was covered with black soil, and the walls and furniture were all rotten. The only intact items were some silver cups and tableware that had fallen into a corner.
Having found nothing of value, nor any standard weapons like longswords, Lin Feng returned to collect the traps and weapons and headed to the other side of the area.
Having set up the traps as before, Lin Feng became bolder this time. When he saw a jungle zombie appear, he estimated the approximate range and tapped a rock with his spear at a distance of about ten meters, attracting it over.
As he took a few steps back and thrust out his spear, the jungle zombie actually opened its mouth and bit at the goblin dagger at the tip of the spear.
Seeing this, Lin Feng increased his strength, using both arms to thrust the spear straight at the jungle zombie's throat.
Click!
The spear suddenly broke, and an irresistible force traveled through it, causing Lin Feng to lose his footing and fall backward to the ground.
'Such powerful strength...'
Despite the pain, Lin Feng immediately got up to look for a new weapon.
The jungle zombie, its mouth pierced, continued to pounce, then braced itself against its own body and lay prone in the spot where he had just been.
His strength is only 2 points, while the jungle zombie has at least 5 points, which is the basic strength a healthy adult should have. In addition, the zombie's tireless nature allows it to maximize this strength.
After understanding the situation, Lin Feng took out a black wooden stick from behind the tree. Its solid weight filled him with confidence. He then mustered all his strength and swung it in a large circle, smashing it down on the head of the zombie that had not yet gotten up.
"Bang!"
The sound of bones cracking rang out as the black wooden club smashed through the zombie's skull, oozing out a pool of foul-smelling black slime.
With a few rustling sounds, the surrounding zombies noticed the sudden noise, but due to their limited perception range, they couldn't find the source of the sound and began to wander around aimlessly.
"That was close. If this guy had intelligence, he would probably be even more terrifying than a human."
In just a few moments, Lin Feng broke out in a cold sweat. After taking the goblin short sword out of the zombie's mouth, he saw the shallow teeth marks on it.
Lin Feng sheathed his goblin short sword, glanced at the several jungle zombies that were moving around quickly, selectively approached a lone one, lingered in its field of vision for a second, and then gradually returned to the trap.
The jungle zombie bared its teeth and claws as it followed, but tripped over a branch when it reached the middle of the two trees.
Lin Feng, who was half-squatting in front, picked up the black wooden stick with his backhand and swung it down in a wide arc.
Nightmare Points +1
Lin Feng quickly dragged the corpse away, exhaled a breath of hot air, and involuntarily shivered.
The sky was obscured in the forest, and according to the countdown before he entered, nearly three hours had passed. Now, his body was beginning to feel unwell, and the thought of leaving immediately arose in his mind.
After carefully hiding his weapon, Lin Feng turned and walked out of the forest. The chill that had been lingering around him finally disappeared, and he felt much more comfortable.
call!
A gentle breeze blew by, and he could smell the dampness in the air. He looked up and saw dark clouds drifting by.
It's going to rain... Lin Feng took off his protective gear, crawled into the shelter, threw a few pieces of firewood into the fire, picked up his tattered bag, and walked towards a few places where there were wild strawberries.
When he returned, it started to drizzle.
He moved the fire a little further in, put on his old clothes and leather protective gear, and curled up around the small flame.
The shelter wasn't big, and he was inside, so as long as the fire kept burning, he could just make do and get through the rainy days.
