Chapter 6: Agility Enhancement I

“Let’s continue searching. Even if I can’t find zombies with passive skills, I have to find a place to hide.”
Although obtaining the passive skill was very important, Zhou Chen was very clear that being able to safely pass this dungeon was the first priority. Therefore, in order to successfully survive these three days, he had to find a hiding place. Otherwise, if he continued to wander outside when it was dark, the situation might become very bad.
After killing the two zombies, Zhou Chen circled to the entrance of the building and quietly looked inside.
No zombies had charged out of this building during the battle just now, which meant that there were no zombies near the entrance. However, it was possible that he might encounter an ambush deeper in.
“If only I had a metal rod in my hand… It’s a little difficult to fight with this wooden stick.”
Zhou Chen slowly walked into the building, guarding against any possible dangers while looking for suitable weapons.
But his luck was not good. Apart from some large furniture and dust everywhere, there was nothing suitable to use as weapons in this building.
Zhou Chen slowly walked to a piece of furniture that looked like a closet and knocked on the door with a stick.
After he knocked on the door, a smaller zombie suddenly rammed through the cabinet door and charged out. It opened its half-rotten mouth and pounced towards Zhou Chen. Its posture seemed to want to swallow Zhou Chen, who was more than twice its size.

Zhou Chen was not surprised by this zombie that suddenly appeared. The reason why he used the stick to knock on the cabinet was because he had considered what might be hidden inside. Therefore, when this little zombie suddenly came out of the cabinet, he very decisively hit it on the head.
He used a lot of strength in this attack, even being overkill. The bodies of zombies were relatively fragile, including this little zombie. This little zombie was instantly killed by him.

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have plundered the zombie’s passive skill “Agility Enhancement I”. Do you want to absorb it?]

The system’s announcement quickly sounded. Zhou Chen had received a new passive skill.
Zhou Chen did not immediately make a choice. Instead, he looked at the introduction of “Agility Enhancement I”.
[Agility Enhancement I
Type: Low bronze passive skill.
Your body will be enhanced, Agility increased by 0.3 points.]
“Agility increased by 0.3? Not bad… Absorb!”
After reading the introduction of this passive skill, Zhou Chen chose to absorb it. Then, he quickly felt his body become lighter and nimbler, and his control over his movements also became more precise.
“The effect of this passive skill is really immediate…”

Zhou Chen realized that he liked the feeling of improving himself. It felt even better than when he obtained the 50,000 Dragon Country bills.
“Since there are zombies with agility passive skills, there might be those with physique and spirit passive skills as well. I have to clear this dungeon and increase my attributes.”
After unintentionally obtaining a good harvest, Zhou Chen felt much more refreshed. He continued to search the other places in the building with the wooden stick in hand.
It was a boring journey after that. His agility had increased, and he was stronger than before. It was much easier to kill the zombies when he encountered them. As long as he did not encounter more than two zombies at the same time, he could quickly finish them off without being injured.

However, he seemed to be out of luck. Even after killing eight zombies in this building, he did not obtain any passive skills.
“This building can be used as a hiding place. I can use these furniture to block the door. I should be able to spend the night safely.”
Zhou Chen took out a bottle of mineral water from his pocket and drank two mouthfuls. He was thinking about whether he should hide in this building.
“Forget it, I am still full of energy. I should go outside and see if I can gain more harvests.”
After closing the bottle and putting it back in his pocket, Zhou Chen left the small building that he had cleared of all the zombies.

After arriving outside, he observed his surroundings and chose the densely packed buildings in the distance as his next destination.
It should be a city area. He could see more than two hundred zombies staggering along the road. He chose to take a detour since there were too many zombies on the road.
Along the way, he searched a few dilapidated buildings and cleared some of the zombies he encountered. Although there were no more passive skills, his weapon was updated: he found a shovel.
A shovel was much more powerful than a wooden stick, but it was slightly heavy.
Zhou Chen carefully chose the route with fewer zombies and killed his way to the edge of the city.
Before long, he saw a huge supermarket in the city.
1
“I wonder if there’s anything to eat in the supermarket. I’ve exhausted a lot of energy on the way here and I really need to replenish it.”
Zhou Chen felt a little hungry. Although it was not serious, it would affect his combat strength.
Dozens of zombies could be seen lingering at the entrance of the supermarket. There were also many nearby that there should be more inside the supermarket as well. Zhou Chen felt that it was quite risky to try to enter the supermarket.
“Forget it, steady is better. Let’s go to another building…”
After some thought, he gave up on sneaking into the supermarket and walked to a building closer to him.
1
There were fewer zombies around the building, so the risk of entering was relatively low.
Zhou Chen charged over and chopped off the heads of the zombies.
After killing so many zombies, he was much more familiar with their movements. He knew how much strength was best to ensure the death of the zombies and save energy.
“The zombies here look a little scary, but their combat strength is really not good, especially since they have no intelligence. It is easy to kill them after getting familiar with their attack patterns. They can only rely on their numbers if they want to pose a threat to me.”

Zhou Chen felt that he already understood zombies very well. He was confident that with his current attributes, he could deal with several zombies alone with a shovel. As long as there were not too many of them, he would not be surrounded.
2
He waved the shovel and killed another zombie that charged out of the gate before carefully walking into the building.
He felt that there should be many zombies hiding in this place, so he had to be careful.
After walking for a few steps in the quiet corridor, Zhou Chen began to search the rooms.
In the first room, he did not notice anything other than some chairs and a bed. At the door of the second room, he realized that the door was locked. It was not easy to open it from the outside.
“Smashing it open might attract many zombies, better to skip this room.”

To be safe, he decided not to search this room.
