The two squatted in the vent and observed the movements of the zombies below for a while. Steven saw that the zombies had returned to a calm state of slowly shaking their bodies, so they gestured to Kate. The two turned around and squatted and slowly retreated.
They went to the entrance of the cave and removed the covering branches and climbed out of the cave.
Everything outside the entrance of the cave was the same as before entering. Steven looked up at the few white clouds floating in the blue sky, let out a long breath and said: "It seems that we still underestimated those monsters! Kate, if we hadn't tried our best to retreat just now,
In time, I'm afraid it will remain in the ruins forever..."
Kate said: "The number of zombies far exceeds expectations. The scale of this ruins is too large. It's still unclear how many monsters there are in it! Steven, it seems we have to make a new plan. Let's go back to the camp now!"
”.
After they restored the rocks at the entrance of the cave, they walked towards the temporary camp under the pyramid. Along the way, Steven felt a very relaxed feeling permeating his whole body.
He carefully recalled the scene at the top of the stairs when he pushed away the dozen zombies with all his strength. Some idea seemed to have occurred in his mind, but then he smelled a foul smell in his nose and couldn't help shouting: "Kate
!We can’t bring the zombie blood on our bodies to the camp! It smells too bad! Let’s wash it in the river first.”
Kate nodded: "It needs to be cleaned properly. I have never smelled such a bad smell in my life! Why are you still holding that arm?"
"I'm going to go back and do some research! These zombies have obvious animal characteristics, but they are not animals. I am very curious about this."
Kate shrugged and escaped from the dark ruins full of zombie monsters. He was now very relaxed: "It's up to you, but you'd better not study it after you've just eaten!"
The two took a good bath in the river near the camp, and started cooking after returning to the temporary camp. When it was getting dark, the two sat by the campfire, eating barbecue and drinking tea, and began to discuss this time.
Encounters entering the ruins.
Kate said: "There are too many zombies in the ruins. If we want to complete the exploration safely, we must clean up these zombies. We first need to consider how to clean them up while ensuring safety. In addition, we must deal with the zombies in the ruins."
During the fight, I used my left arm armor to block the claws of the zombies several times, so I proposed to make three more arm armors so that both of our hands could be protected, but the scale skin was placed on
The camp outside the mountain has been attacked, I think we need to go back."
Steven nodded in agreement: "The corpses must be cleared away. Anyway, we have enough time, so we can use a gradual clearing method: we try to attract a few of them each time to kill them, so that we can slowly eliminate them while ensuring safety.
They are cleaned up, and the torch is also a problem. It takes up one of your hands, which is neither efficient nor safe. We have to find a way to solve it."
The two then discussed how to attract a small number of zombies and their plans if the situation got out of hand.
The next day, the two of them left the temporary camp and headed back to their camp outside the mountain. In addition to going back to make three more arm armors, they also planned to bring back some materials for making torches and some other supplies.
They plan to upgrade the camp next to the ruins into a semi-permanent camp. The two estimate that it will take a lot of time to clean up the corpses in the ruins. The upgraded camp will make their life more comfortable and better during this time.
maintain status.
More than ten days later, the two returned to the camp next to the ruins, and they brought back half of the scales of the Purple Star Whip Python.
They first cleared the camp and then built a small cabin and corresponding facilities. They also built a defensive fence around the camp and opened up a piece of land in the enclosed yard to plant cassava and purple bananas, so that they could at least
You can live here relatively comfortably for half a year before the rainy season arrives.
On this day, Steven came to the mountainside to the west of the camp. He wanted to recreate the situation when he was fighting against the zombies in the ruins. He used all his strength at the stairs to push the dozen zombies in front of him a few meters away.
In that state, he could burst out with extremely powerful strength and agility in a very short period of time. He still remembered that when he pushed the zombies back, the zombies in front of him kept trying to attack him.
Their claws were very sharp and could easily scratch his sleeves, skin and even muscles, but he relied on his extreme agility to dodge their claws and at the same time push them and a dozen zombies behind him.
.
Steven found a huge rock and first tested the distance and speed when pushing the boulder with his usual full strength. Then he recalled the state he entered that day. He calmed his mind first. After a while, when he felt that he had entered
After a state of silence, he suddenly exerted force, instantly bursting out with a force far exceeding his usual full strength, pushing the boulder twice as far away at a faster speed.
"So that's it!" Steven firmly remembered the preparation state for activating this ability in his mind, and after testing it many times, he felt that he had completely mastered the activation and deactivation of this ability, and he was satisfied.
Walk towards the camp.
He calls this newfound ability "burst."
This ability is different from the usual burst of whole-body power. It requires a short period of time to enter a quasi-silence state before it can be used.
And the effect is also different: in the "burst" state, his strength is at least doubled, and his agility is also increased accordingly. The longest "burst" lasts is only about 5 seconds.
After the "outbreak", you will enter a weak state accordingly, but this weak state does not last long and is equal to the time it takes to enter the explosive state. For example, after entering the explosive state for 5 seconds, the weak state will only last for 5 seconds. This is very
A powerful ability that can even turn the situation around if used properly.
When Steven returned to the camp, Kate was training strength. Steven said to Kate: "Kate, I have gained an ability, which can also be said to be a skill."
Then he told Kate about the explosive ability he had just acquired, and then he said: "I have a way to deal with the torch. Do you think this is feasible?" As he spoke, he drew an equipment symbol on the ground with his dagger.
graphics, and then said: "The equipment made of this snake vine can be carried on the back, and the stick sticking out from the top can be tied to the torch. In this way, the height of the torch is much higher than the top of the head, regardless of the lighting effect or the prevention of zombies.
The attacks are very beneficial, and a few extra spare torches and even some other items can be placed in this open space."
After reading it, Kate couldn't help but said: "This is a good idea! Steven, this way I can free up one hand! It greatly improves defense and combat power. Let's make one according to this pattern and try it!"
