LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Zombie Attack
"Alloy weapons?"
Chen Ye truthfully said, "Those things are heavy and take up space, so I didn't bring them."
At this point, there was no need to hide anything.
"So, you brought these... toys?" Tang Zichen frowned, her pretty face stern. "Are you treating the secret realm as a child's play?"
"Of course not, I just have some ideas that I want to verify."
Chen Ye added, "My talent is so poor that even if I had brought alloy weapons, they wouldn't be of much use. Besides, I have you, the class leader, right? You're so powerful, I just need to follow you."
Hearing this, Tang Zichen immediately felt like she had been tricked.
However, she had very good self-control.
Even now, she still didn't get angry.
"Then let's divide our tasks clearly. You can leave the killing of jumping zombies to me, and you handle everything else!" Tang Zichen said calmly.
Chen Ye naturally had no objections: "No problem!"
Then, the two headed towards a small grove.
The grove wasn't very large; one could see the mountains on the other side at a glance.
Luckily, they found a fruit tree in the grove.
"I remember on the fourth day of school, Teacher Liu said that this fruit looks like a persimmon and is edible. However, it needs to be plucked and left for a few days until it turns yellow. If eaten while green like this, it's slightly toxic and can paralyze the central nervous system, causing full-body stiffness," Tang Zichen said, looking at the fruit tree.
Chen Ye's eyes lit up.
Indeed, Teacher Liu had introduced many fruits in the secret realm, at least a hundred kinds, and it was impossible for ordinary people to remember them all.
Yet Tang Zichen remembered so clearly.
Truly worthy of being a top student, her memory was impressive.
Chen Ye suddenly felt that teaming up with Tang was a good deal.
"I'll go pick some."
He took the initiative to work.
After all, the class leader had already said that they should divide the work. Picking fruits was exactly his responsibility.
The tree wasn't very tall.
Chen Ye could easily reach the fruits without climbing, thanks to his height.
Just as he had picked half a bag,
Tang Zichen, who was watching Chen Ye work, suddenly moved her ears and hurriedly said, "Chen Ye, stop, there's a noise!"
This girl had a high spiritual attribute, close to 20 points, almost twice that of a normal person.
And having a high spiritual attribute meant her senses were stronger than others. She could hear every little rustle of the wind and grass.
Chen Ye was startled and immediately stopped, standing behind Tang Zichen.
At this moment, Tang Zichen, holding darts in her hands, had a cautious look on her pretty face, her gaze fixed on the front left.
As for Chen Ye, a grown man, hiding behind her…
She had no objections.
Moments later,
Two figures appeared in Chen Ye's sight.
Seeing this, Chen Ye felt even better about teaming up with Tang Zichen.
Her alertness was very suitable for places like the secret realm.
…
Suddenly, two young people arrived.
They were probably like Tang Zichen and Chen Ye, freshmen of this year.
However, these two were completely different; one was as black in color, and the other had blond hair and blue eyes, both foreigners.
Chen Ye pondered.
Meeting foreigners here indicated that the teleportation points into the secret realm were too random.
It was a chaotic teleportation.
He wondered just how vast Secret Realm No. 1 really was.
At this moment,
Chen Ye and Tang Zichen were hiding behind a large tree.
The thick trunk, coupled with some mistletoe plants nearby, perfectly concealed the two.
At least, the two foreigners who arrived didn't notice Chen Ye and Tang Zichen.
Soon.
One of the black guys noticed the fruit tree and immediately jabbered something to his companion.
Chen Ye's English was not very good, and the black guy spoke too fast, so he didn't understand a single word...
But it didn't matter if he didn't understand.
He just watched what happened next.
The black guy picked a green fruit and without a second thought, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed vigorously.
Indeed, there's a reason why people from abroad can be so rash.
Chen Ye wondered if the guy was missing a brain cell to eat something like that directly...
The black guy quickly finished a fruit and gave his companion a thumbs-up, indicating that it was edible and tasted not bad.
His white companion was much more cautious and did not act rashly, just observing his friend's reaction.
Moments later,
The black guy, who had eaten three or four fruits, suddenly showed a painful expression on his dark face.
Just looking at him, it was clear he was poisoned.
The black guy immediately threw the fruit away, half-kneeled on the ground, put a hand into his mouth, and tried to induce vomiting by pressing his tongue down his throat, hoping to eject the ingested fruit.
His companion also came over anxiously to help, patting him on the back.
After much struggle,
The black guy finally vomited out some fruit pulp.
He also spat out some bloody sputum.
It seemed he had scratched his throat.
Even so, the black guy still looked very uncomfortable and couldn't get up from the ground.
Seeing this,
Chen Ye felt like throwing away the fruit he had just picked...
Just then,
A cold wind blew.
All four people present could clearly feel the chill.
Tang Zichen suddenly changed her expression and quickly pulled Chen Ye down to crouch.
Then, she quietly pointed to the right with her slender finger, signaling Chen Ye.
Chen Ye looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a dark figure, jumping and approaching rapidly from afar.
It was a green-faced, fanged monster, dressed in a tattered Qing Dynasty official uniform.
A zombie!!
Chen Ye was slightly startled.
Seeing the terrifying appearance of the zombie up close was indeed very oppressive.
He suddenly understood why the survival rate in the secret realm was so low.
Not everyone has the courage to face such terrifying monsters!
Then, Chen Ye realized that the sudden appearance of the zombie was very likely due to the black guy vomiting blood just now.
Only he knew that zombies could smell the scent of living humans, and they were extremely sensitive to the smell of human blood.
Just like sharks in the sea, they can smell the scent of blood from prey injured several kilometers away.
So, usually, it's advised against swimming in the sea during a woman's period...
Thinking about this,
Chen Ye suddenly realized a problem.
Would the presence of a girl on her period also attract zombies?
…
The zombie's jumping speed was very fast.
And it was making a low, growling sound.
When the zombie got closer, the two foreigners finally noticed it.
"Oh my God! Sh*t…"
The black guy, clearly a joker, was scared into a frantic state, crawling backwards with both hands and feet.
Unfortunately, he was poisoned and his limbs were not very agile. Aside from stirring up the dirt, he didn't move much.
His companion quickly picked up a weapon, facing the zombie.
Just when Chen Ye thought he was about to see a foreigner fight a zombie,
The white guy suddenly turned and ran.
Leaving his companion behind...
Chen Ye exclaimed in admiration!
