Apocalypse Awakening

Chapter 14 Encountering Zombies
Zhao Nan released the Fire Fist twice in a row. At this time, his soul power should be almost exhausted. After all, he has just awakened, so being able to release the Fire Fist twice is not bad.

Sun Hou wanted to be with Ning Qiu and the others. His entanglement with thorns just now had a very crucial effect, but Ning Qiu refused.

"Then I'll stay. If you get hurt, I'll heal you in time." Han Shiyu said, she was the only girl who wasn't scared.

The ability release test in the academy is completely different from the ability release during the battle against zombies. For example, Zhao Nan's test results were better than Pang Xiaobo's, but when it came to the battle, his ability release was much slower.

"Okay, just the three of us." Ning Qiu nodded. Although he knew that Teacher Shen Yi was nearby and their lives were safe, he was afraid that they would be injured if they encountered zombies.

After awakening, human beings already have strong immunity to the zombie virus. As long as they are not scratched by that infected zombie, it is almost impossible to be infected.

After discussing, the three of them decided to go further outside, but they dared not go out of the fort. After all, there were much more zombies outside the fort than inside.

Not far away, they saw a zombie.

"It's an ordinary zombie, the lowest existence among zombies, fat man, you go." Ning Qiu patted Pang Xiaobo on the shoulder.

"Brother Qiu, you should go, I don't want to compete with you." Pang Xiaobo shrank his neck.

Ordinary zombies don't have much attack power, just like walking dead, let alone awakened ones, even ordinary people can kill them as long as they have weapons.

"Tch, look at how cowardly you are." Ning Qiu snorted coldly, and swaggered over with a big sword in his hand.

The zombie also saw the three of them, and ran over with ugly footwork.

Ning Qiu swung his big sword and sliced ​​its head in half, easily done.

The running speed of ordinary zombies is not as fast as that of humans, but they don't feel tired, they don't feel pain, and there is no such thing as hunger. They don't even eat, drink or sleep. They can live for hundreds of years until they are dried by the sun one day.

This is the power of zombies. If they were replaced by humans, they would probably die after a few days in the sun.

The textbooks explain that an oily substance is secreted from the zombie body, which can resist strong ultraviolet rays.This is why zombies are still alive after nearly 200 years since they appeared.

And when they see living creatures, they will frantically chase and bite.

Of course, human flesh and blood can allow them to evolve. As long as a certain amount of flesh and blood is swallowed, the evolution of the virus can be improved, thereby completing the advancement.

This is similar to the nature of the awakened person. Although the awakened person can improve their soul power through self-cultivation, the speed is very slow, and by absorbing the corpse core, they can quickly increase their soul power.

Human beings are the prey of zombies, but why aren't zombies the prey of awakened ones?
However, zombies have a long lifespan. Scientists predict that the lifespan of an ordinary zombie should be between 300 and 500 years.

This is the lowest level of ordinary zombies, and those zombies that have completed the advanced stage have a longer lifespan, and some even have the ability to reproduce.

Ning Qiu looked at the fallen zombies, but found no nucleus.

"Under normal circumstances, only advanced zombies have corpse cores, and the probability of ordinary zombies having corpse cores is less than one in a thousand." Han Shiyu said.

"Of course I know." Ning Qiu replied, then turned around, but thought in her heart, "Fuck, I thought all zombies have corpse cores."

At this time, Pang Xiaobo supported Ning Qiu with his arm, and said, "Brother Qiu, there is another one over there."

Ning Qiu turned his head and saw that he was about to walk over with a big sword in his hand, as if he was invincible and invincible.

But after walking a few steps, he saw another zombie.

"No matter how many zombies come, I will... Damn, what's the situation?"

More and more zombies appeared, and in just a few breaths, seven or eight zombies gathered.

"It's blood, the zombie smells blood." Han Shiyu pointed at the zombie whose head had been severed by Ning Qiu just now.

Ning Qiu ran away, just kidding, although he didn't pay attention to one or two zombies, but a group of zombies was different.

Those zombies smelled the blood, rushed over frantically, and gnawed at the zombie that was difficult to eliminate.

"Damn, I almost forgot, zombies can eat their own kind." Ning Qiu cursed inwardly.

Once a zombie dies, it will be eaten by other zombies, so when Ning Qiu kills a zombie, it will attract the nearby zombies.

Zombies' vision and hearing are relatively weak, but their sense of smell is very strong, especially for the smell of blood, regardless of whether it is a human or a zombie, they just chew on it.

In just half a minute, the zombie whose head had been cut off was scraped clean, and two zombies had finished eating early and were chasing after them.

"Fire fist!" Pang Xiaobo threw a fire fist, which just hit a zombie's head, and its brain exploded.

Zombies don't feel pain, and only when their heads are destroyed and their brain nerves are destroyed can they be considered truly dead.

"Well done, Fatty." Ning Qiu carried the big sword, but ran in front.

"There's another one, Brother Qiu, cut it off soon." Pang Xiaobo used the Fire Fist twice today, and his soul power has been almost exhausted, and he can no longer release his abilities at this time.

But Ning Qiu pretended not to hear, and still ran away desperately, because he saw the zombies who had finished eating behind, and they all chased after them.

"Om!" a beast-like growl.

At this moment, a huge wild boar carcass rushed out in front of them, no, it was a fang-toothed boar carcass.

The fang pig corpse is evolved from a wild boar corpse. It is tall and hideous.

The most frightening thing is that this beast has fangs all over its body, it is simply a giant hedgehog.

"Oh, why is there a pig carcass with fangs?"

"What should I do?" Han Shiyu glanced at Ning Qiu.

It is absolutely impossible for a corpse beast of this level to be dealt with by awakened people like them who have just awakened.

At this moment, a ball of flames flew from not far away, bombarded the body of the tusk pig corpse, and instantly blasted it into coke.

This is the primary low-level skill - Fire Fist, but it directly killed a pig with fangs.

"Amazing!"

Shen Yi stood not far away, glanced at the three of them, and left directly after killing the fang-toothed pig carcasses.

"Hey! Just leave like this?" Ning Qiu yelled, obviously Teacher Shen Yi didn't want to help them deal with the zombies behind them at all.

"Brother Qiu, this corpse beast can be eaten." Pang Xiaobo reminded.

"I know."

If they ran away now, the fangsed pig carcass would definitely be eaten by these zombies, although they might not be able to eat the fangs-filled guy.

"Soul strings." Ning Qiu's expression changed, the five fingers of his left hand turned into claws, and holding the Horcrux in his right, he rushed towards the nearest zombie.

With the sharpness of the big sword, the zombie's head could be easily cut off, but seven or eight zombies rushed at one time, Ning Qiu had to use the puppet system, just in case.

Pang Xiaobo found a steel rod from nowhere, and suddenly thrust it into the mouth of a zombie.

Not long after, all the zombies were killed. In order to prevent the corpses of the zombies from attracting more zombies, the two carried the corpses together. Pang Xiaobo cremated all the corpses with the last trace of soul power.

"The next question is how to bring this fang-toothed pig back?" Han Shiyu pointed at the big guy covered in fangs.

The carcass of the fang pig was more than three meters long, full of flesh, and with its tusks, it weighed at least [-] kilograms, enough to feed them for half a month.

In the end, they found an old-fashioned consignment truck in the fortress, which was barely usable, and it took a lot of effort to drag the tusk pig carcass back to the command center building.
