Thriller Paradise

Chapter 51 The Peerless Garlic 5

Wang Tanzhi might think that way, but the Zombie Werewolf did not. It only had one thought in mind—feast. As a gatekeeper boss that did not have too much intelligence, the Zombie Werewolf abandoned the low-hanging fruit before it and turned around. It slowly approached the two with caution. This went to show how powerful the two players were.

From how they referred to one another, Xiao Tan guessed correctly that they were Thousand Kills Hwa Xiong and Unparalleled General Pan Feng. Since the players were separated at the start of this scenario and now the players were not showing IGN and titles above their heads anymore—one could only see three things in the team tab: IGN, Level, and if they were still alive—Xiao Tan had no idea what their titles were and could not judge their power level. Since the two had come out to rescue him and dared to say such words, Xiao Tan believed that it would not be difficult for them to take down this mini boss.

“Great… great generals.” Xiao Tan felt awkward saying that. “There are many BW Zombies down here, so why don’t we lure this mini boss to the top? AH!” When he reached the latter half of the sentence, his lips suddenly fell open to release a scream.

He was not bitten. Even though there were around five BW Zombies approaching him from inside the parking lot, they were still quite some distance away from Xiao Tan. Besides, one did not need to pay them much attention because they were blocked by the gate. Due to a lack of intelligence, they did not know how to jump over it or crawl under it; all they knew was how to groan endlessly while leaning against the iron gate.

The reason Xiao Tan yelled was because he saw something incredible. He saw General Pan leap into the air and raise the axe that was larger than his body over his head. He shot toward the ground like a meteor with the sharp edge of the axe aiming downward. It did not look like he was travelling fast, but the angle of his attack made it so that the large Zombie Werewolf could not avoid it.

The monster roared angrily and raised his claws to defend. At the moment Pan Feng’s weapon made contact with the monster’s arms, he suddenly increased in speed. The cold axe gleamed, and the next moment, the arm turned into a stump and was spurting out blood.

The Zombie Werewolf’s arm was cut off just like that. It was tossed away by the force. Before the monster had a chance to groan in pain, the spear in Hwa Xiong’s arm flew out, and the man was even faster, so fast that Xiao Tan could not catch his movement with his eyes. Blood flew, and the monster’s knee was punctured.

Its left arm had been chopped off by the axe, and right knee had been shattered by the spear. The Zombie Werewolf was top heavy, its upper body more developed than its lower body, so after those two attacks, it instantly lost its balance and leaned toward its right before falling heavily to the ground. The next second, a cold light was reflected in the wolf’s eyes, and with a thud, the axe cut into the ground. Blood sprayed, and then, a werewolf head rolled slowly down the slope.

Xiao Tan was shocked beyond words. The two killed a mini boss with just three moves. How powerful were they? Xiao Tan had a hard time envisioning that they were just two levels above him.

The low groaning of the BW Zombies from behind him pulled him back to reality. Xiao Tan turned back to look, and more than ten BW Zombies had gathered at the gate already. Endless shadows inside the parking lot were shuffling their way.

“Little buddy, why don’t you follow us back to the surface?” Pan Feng asked.

“Okay… We need to go find a place free of monsters,” Xiao Tan replied instantly. He rushed up the slope, and when he passed the Zombie Werewolf, he could not help but glance at the headless corpse.

…

After leaving the ’base’, Feng Bujue also headed toward Allerbmu’s company. He understood that the chance would be greater for him to find his teammate there. He only hoped that Xiao Tan and the two players would not rush blindly into the building before he arrived and got themselves killed.

He was not in a hurry to save the Professor Ashford mentioned by the quest. To be honest, he did not mind if the professor died. After all, the quest did not mention that the professor’s death meant a failure of the quest. This was Team ’Survival’ Mode; only by having all players wiped-out would they fail. The death of a plot character would only increase the difficulty or change the ending.

When Feng Bujue was travelling alone, he killed more than fifty BW Zombies. If he willed it, the kill score would have been higher, but since he had to come up with different ’experiments’ to verify the monster’s properties, that had taken up some time.

After the whole journey, his marksmanship had risen from F to E, but his fighting mastery remained at E. It seemed that whacking the monsters’ heads with two weapons that were not technically weapons while dancing would not raise his fighting mastery; he had to adjust his thoughts.

Feng Bujue could not help but be reminded of Passing Rain and that agile, clean, and expert way of killing. Currently, he was unable to perform deeds like that. When he could, his fighting mastery would be at D level.

Of course, fighting with these monsters that were no faster than a crab would not improve his mastery level that much. Only by fighting against monsters at the same level or more powerful than him would he be able to increase his mastery.

Feng Bujue’s immediate concern was to figure out a way to equip Echo Armor. He understood that raising fighting mastery to C would not be so easy, but raising his workmanship to D was doable. After all, it was only a level away.

Along the way, he tried to come up with ways to make use of the freedom offered by the scenario to his benefit and avoided as many monsters as he could. Soon, he saw the Allerbmu building; it was only several blocks away.

Feng Bujue had realized how the number of BW Zombies had increased, and… he saw some dead zombies.

Therefore, the man took a detour to inspect those ’dead bodies’. He squatted next to one and examined the cracked skull and the pool of blood. He examined the head wound closely before moving onto the wounds on the rest of its body. It felt like he was an officer inspecting a crime scene.

“Hmm, the head wound was delivered by a baseball bat,” he mumbled. “A strike from the front and then two more strikes from the side and back. Could this be Xiao Tan’s handiwork?”

He stood up, grabbed the wrench, and used it to down a monster that was shuffling toward him. He stepped on its chest and cracked through its skull with two hits.

“But a baseball bat is a common weapon. Even that ’So hard to find a name’ has a few in his backpack, so I cannot remove the possibility that the two other players could be armed with baseball bats as well.”

With that in mind, he continued to move forward. After a few more steps, he saw a group of dead zombies that were laid close to each other. They were all headless, and some of the decapitated heads were still moving. Since they had no access to windpipes, they could not make any sounds, and the heads kept moving their mouths up and down like they were chewing.

“Hmm… This shouldn’t be Xiao Tan’s handiwork…”
