Version update, a mixed bag!
Having missed the weakened infected four days earlier, the survivors forced to seek a living were devastated.
The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, has once again been laid bare before the world.
None of this mattered to Liu Nian. He tucked the antidote into his waistband, bid farewell to the Licker's corpse, and continued forward.
The summoned creatures surrounded Liu Nian, bypassing the vehicles left behind on the street. Along the way, he kept playing with the shotgun he had gotten from Ma Feng.
The Remington 870, also known as the M870, has a magazine capacity of only three rounds.
Liu Nian was constantly practicing the reloading technique. Although he couldn't be as skilled as the God of Slaughter in the Dog's Life Trilogy, he still had to achieve a normal reloading speed.
Although you don't need firearms to fight monsters, they can still threaten your life.
Although Liu Nian's survivability has been enhanced by the help of summoned creatures at this stage, he is still just a mortal and cannot withstand a burst of bullets.
As they were walking, Liu Nian's attention was suddenly drawn to the open green belt ahead.
In my field of vision, a figure that was three parts inhuman and seven parts still not human was standing on the grass.
It wasn't some strange monster, because there was an exclamation mark "!" above its head.

Important information will usually be displayed three times by the system.
Thinking of this, Liu Nian walked towards the task issuer who was black from head to toe.
He was dressed in a black robe and a black mask, so you couldn't see anything.
[Hehehe~ Do you want to accept the mission? The reward is generous!] A sinister voice came from behind the mask.
【whether】
After hesitating for a few seconds, Liu Nian chose "Yes".
【Very well, adventurer. I wasn't wrong about you after all. You're far superior to those cowards. You've brought me back three twisted resentments. I will pay you an unexpected reward.】
Before Liu Nian could even reply, a new taskbar appeared on his screen.
[Task: Twisted Resentment 0/3]
"What is this?" Liu Nian asked.
Bring me back three twisted resentments, and I will pay you an unexpected reward.
Hearing the task issuer mechanically repeat what he had just said, Liu Nian resisted the urge to roll his eyes; it seemed rather unintelligent.
"A twisted resentment, it sounds like a paranormal event." Damn, that was too hasty!
No time, no place, no characters—how do I complete this task? I need help urgently!
I have absolutely no clue! I can only take it one step at a time.
Putting the mission out of her mind, Liu Nian decided to continue clearing the way home.
After roughly determining the direction, he walked into the alley on the other side.
The alley is divided into an irregular shape by residential houses on one side, and blocked by a wall on the other side.
As you walk into the alley, you can only hear the echoing footsteps of a skeleton.
Halfway there, a group of infected people walked out from the other end of the alley.
It was clearly the echoing sounds from the alley that attracted the infected person's attention.
They roared as they charged into the alley, heading this way.
The alley, which could only accommodate two people walking side by side, was instantly blocked.
To avoid being surrounded, Liu Nian commanded two skeletons to defend behind him.
He pressed himself against the wall and let the skeleton walk past him.
Skeleton Ghoul Skeleton Skeleton Liu Nian Tiffany Skeleton.
After they had set up their formation, the infected attacked them.
People infected at this level no longer pose a threat to him, let alone in such an advantageous location.
Only at the very beginning of the engagement did the formation waver slightly. After regaining their footing, the summoned creatures began to counterattack.
To prevent being surrounded by a large group of infected people, Liu Nian sent Xiao Hei into the air to scout the nearby movements.
With two loud cries, Little Black leaped from Liu Nian's shoulder into the sky and flew towards the alley entrance.
By stabbing an infected person in the eye socket with a spear and then thrusting it in, the infected person fell down, and the situation gradually became favorable for Liu Nianfang.
Just then, an infected creature suddenly flew over and smashed into the shield of the skeleton in front. This powerful blow forced the skeleton backward, creating a gap in the formation.
This unexpected turn of events made Liu Nian look towards the alley entrance, only to discover that a large infected person had appeared there at some unknown time.
The large infected was also dark green all over, nearly 2.5 meters tall, with sparse hair on its head, and piles of rotting flesh on its upper body. It had a pair of powerful hands, and its body blocked the entire alley. It would grab an infected person in front of it and throw them in this direction.
The crowded terrain originally made it more difficult for the infected to attack, but now, with the presence of ranged units, the situation has been reversed instantly, and the pressure has shifted to Liu Nian's side.
Liu Nian must kill the infected in front of him before the skeleton is smashed.
Otherwise, once the skeletons are killed, the ghouls' defenses will be even less able to withstand the attacks of the infected.
As for resummoning the skeleton? There is an invisible limitation: there must be enough space, otherwise the summoning will inevitably fail.
The area in front of me was so congested it looked like a plate of freshly cooked dumplings; there was nowhere to even call out.
Liu Nian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but she remained calm and composed, thinking of a way to break the deadlock.
The large-scale infected individuals were quite accurate, and one infected person after another was thrown into Liu Nian's camp.
Several times I almost threw it next to Liu Nian.
Undead units are immune to fear and poison, but they are susceptible to fatigue.
After exhausting his strength, he could only rely on Tiffany's bone spear.
The attack range of the teeth is very short; it's too far to reach them now.
Since using the fatigue technique, the attack frequency of the large infected creature has decreased significantly, which relieved Liu Nian, who was afraid it would become a perpetual motion machine.
With many things on his mind, Liu Nian kept moving, his spear piercing through the infected people thrown into the formation.
After the bone spear shattered the incoming infected, a large space was cleared in front of the large infected, and the skeletons in front of Liu Nian were almost all killed or wounded.
To make matters worse, Tiffany's mana was depleted because she was in a fighting stance with her staff in hand, rather than casting spells.
Several infected were killed by the bone spears before they could be thrown out, and they scattered in front of the large infected.
Seeing this, Liu Nian had an idea and began chanting the incantation to summon a skeleton.
"Let's take a gamble." It's only a matter of 10 mana points, otherwise we'll have to retreat.
Large infected individuals move slowly, but take very large steps.
After the spell was cast, Liu Nian sensed that skeleton warriors were being generated behind the large infected.
Now, only ghouls are fighting off the horde of corpses in front of Liu Nian, and even the skeletons that were being used for defense have been brought back and smashed by them.
Tiffany has no mana and cannot summon skeletons to assist her.
The advantage is that the distance isn't too far, and there's a skeleton constantly attacking from behind the large infected; you can tell by its roaring, outstretched hand.
The downside is that the distance is too short, and you are very likely to be hit by the incoming infected.
If I get bitten again, then there's really no way to save me.
