Chapter 20: The Unlocked Map Of The Shop Area
Translator: Langshare Editor: Langshare
The thing that was quivering and sounded like a drum was a huge cocoon formed by a mutant zombie!
“Dong!”
“Dong!”
“Dong!”
The dull sound kept pounding on Enoch’s heart!
How could a zombie have a heartbeat!!
In this windless shopping mall, Enoch felt a chill.
It wasn’t because he was afraid of the strength of the zombies in the huge cocoon.
Enoch’s berserk rats still had some trump cards that they hadn’t used yet. What shocked Enoch was the terrifying heartbeat.
Heartbeat, this was a privilege that only living beings had!
During the process of mutation, zombies could actually transform into living beings!
Once the zombie transformed into a living being, it was equivalent to possessing the potential to evolve!
As a zombie, it could only rely on mutation to improve its body strength, and it would not possess any intelligence.
Enoch had investigated this point when he met the first zombie.
After killing the zombie, Enoch looked at the zombie’s body.
He found that it was different from the zombie movies he had seen before.
All the functions of the zombie’s body had long stopped.
It was driven by an unknown force that allowed it to move around in the Black Fog.
He could confirm that the zombies he had killed before were all long-dead bodies.
They were not creatures that had been infected by the virus and turned into zombies.
That was why the giant black cocoon had surprised Enoch so much.
What time was it now?
It was only the fourth day he had entered the Divine Tree dimension!
And the world within the Black Fog had many signs that indicated that the Black Fog had invaded this world for at most a month!
Within a month, zombies could mutate to the point of having a life.
As for how far they could evolve after that, Enoch was unable to predict.
The only thing he knew was that as time passed, the threat within the Black Fog would become more and more terrifying!
Therefore.
Enoch was extremely curious about this giant black cocoon.
He had originally planned to leave the shop areas and explore other areas.
However, because of the appearance of the giant black cocoon, Enoch planned to stay in the shop area for a while longer.
He would wait for the giant black cocoon to hatch and observe this creature that had evolved from zombies.
Was there anything special about it?
Or could he discover the weakness of this monster!
This would help a lot to fight against similar monsters in the future.
“Dong!”
“Dong!”
“Dong!”
The strong heartbeat of the monster became more and more obvious.
This meant that there was not much time left before the monster successfully hatched.
In that case, Enoch planned to send out 30 Berserk Rats to keep their eyes on the hatching black cocoon in the shop.
He would bring the remaining 19 Berserk Rats to explore the surrounding areas.
Enoch was confident that he could kill the zombie after it hatched in the cocoon, but that did not mean that the zombie was not a threat.
Under Enoch’s orders, the 30 Berserk Rats hid in every corner of the shop and monitored the black cocoon. If there was an unusual movement, they would report to Enoch first.
After the Berserk Rats were deployed well, Enoch started to search around the shop area.
Perhaps it was because Enoch had unlocked the map of the shop area, some basic information about the shop appeared in the [Map of the netherworld] column.
[Map of the netherworld]
[Unlocked area: 70% of the family shopping mall]
[Hint: the Divine Tree Master can check the basic information of the shopping mall.]
Enoch immediately opened the basic information of the shopping mall and would like to see what this function could do.
At the moment, after exploring more than 70% of one area, the basic information could be unlocked.
And the exploration progress had not reached 100%, which also meant that there were still areas in the shopping mall that Enoch had missed.
As Enoch opened the panel, the model of the shopping mall in the explored area was displayed in the form of a 3D image before Enoch’s eyes.
The general structure of the shopping mall was similar to what Enoch expected. It mainly consisted of two parts, the parking lot and the shopping mall.
Although the 3D model did not show the unexplored areas, it was not difficult to infer the general direction of the unexplored areas based on the known areas.
At this time, Enoch had already arrived at the back of the shopping mall.
There was still a vast Black Fog in front of him, and he could not see any target clearly. Judging from the parking line that had disappeared from the ground, he could tell that there were some buildings behind.
This no longer belonged to the area of the parking lot, so there was no reason for the mall owner to leave such a large empty area.
Therefore, there should still be some buildings in front of him.
Warehouses?
Fields?
Residences?
Both of them were possible. Thinking of this, Enoch led the Berserk Rats towards the Black Fog.
…
At the same time, about a hundred meters away from the shopping mall.
A figure was walking carefully on the street.
He was Alan, and he was also a Divine Tree Master.
It was the first time he walked out of the island to explore the Black Fog.
However, judging from his dusty face and torn clothes, his condition wasn’t very good.
“The damn black mist is only of three-meter visibility. I couldn’t detect anything unusual when those zombies get close!”
“Fortunately, I’ve awakened class B power. I almost died just now!”
Allen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and murmured in fear.
He was lucky. After entering the Divine Tree Space, he had awakened a class B talent, which allowed him to gain the ability to control magnetic force within three days.
Generally speaking, Allen’s power wasn’t weak.
However, with his power, he found that the low-level zombies in the Black Fog were ridiculously weak.
He could kill them instantly with just an iron sword.
As a result, he had no scruples in exploring the Black Fog.
Therefore…
Five minutes ago, Allen, who thought that he was blessed with the protagonist’s Halo, fell.
With his magnetic power, he found a hardware store in the Black Fog based on his power’s guidance.
He found many useful tools. Moreover, with his magnetic power, these ordinary tools could be used as sharp weapons to kill enemies.
Alan, who was in high spirits, was ready to pack all the things in the temporary warehouse and take them away. At this moment, the noise attracted the zombies.
The narrow hardware store!
The surging zombies’ crowd!
It almost turned Allen into one of the zombies.
Fortunately, as a last thought, he attached all the iron weapons to his body and made them into a simple protective suit, and escaped out of the zombie crowd.
After this battle, Allen finally stopped acting recklessly.
“The monsters moving in groups are too scary!”
“As long as I can collect some food, I’ll return to the island immediately!”
Allen secretly swore in his heart.
When he just escaped from the hardware store, he saw a store’s brochure.
It was not far from the hardware store.
Allen looked at the buildings around the street and gave himself a sigh of relief.
“I’ll reach the store soon!”
