Chapter 127: Escape

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Chi! Chi Chi!!”

Several vine-like objects darted out of the wounds that were cut by the machete and quickly climbed up along the machete.

“What!?”

Black Tiger was shocked. He exerted force on his wrist and struggled to escape.

Such a special attack…

It was a vine zombie?!

However, there was a big difference between them and the vine zombies. They looked like ordinary zombies.

They were even more ‘fleshier’ than the vine zombies!

“Not good! Retreat!!!”

Black Tiger immediately shouted.

However, he was already a few seconds late. Most of the team members had already rushed toward the zombies.

The team members immediately encountered trouble.

Many players had already been entangled by the vines that came out from the vine zombies.

They were going to suffer!

Black Tiger no longer hesitated. He took out a blue flashbang and smashed it at his feet.

“Buz…”

‘The ear-piercing ringing sound accompanied by a strong flash exploded in the zombie crowd.

‘The sound waves and strong light had a great restraining effect on the zombies.

All the zombies instantly stopped attacking.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The vines quickly retracted.

‘The small party of players also subconsciously lowered their heads to avoid the dazzling light.

“Quick! Follow me!”

“Run!”

Black Tiger shouted.

‘Taking advantage of the fact that the zombies were in a dizzy and blind state, Black Tiger quickly led the players through the zombie crowd and gradually moved away from the zombies.

In just a few seconds, the small party had suffered casualties!

Leaving the zombie horde, Black Tiger panted heavily.

His heart was bleeding!

The losses were too heavy!

Not to mention that everyone only had three chances to be reborn, just one flashbang alone cost 80 King of Gods’ points!

What puzzled him, even more, was why there were Tier 2 zombies in this godforsaken place?

Moreover, they were the so-called natural enemies of close-combat players among the Tier 2 zombies, the vine zombies!

If he hadn’t decisively used the flashbang, their entire team would have been wiped out!

“Damn it!”

Escaping from the pursuit of the zombie crowd, Black Tiger cursed and vented his anger.

“Phoenix Sound Gaming Company, that bunch of trash! They didn’t even provide such important information! When we go back, I’ll make them suffer!”

“Leader, it’s getting dark. Let’s finish the mission first!”

“Okay.”

Black Tiger took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions.

For now, the priority was to finish the mission.

It was going to be dark soon. The only thing they could do now was to take down the prison shelter as soon as possible!

“Let’s rest for five minutes to replenish our strength.”

Everyone quickly took out some food from their backpacks to replenish their strength and continued to rush towards the prison.

“Eh?

In the underground shelter of the prison, Fang Heng, who was grilling meat on a barbecue grill, was slightly surprised.

Rows of messages were refreshed in the game log.

[Hint: Your zombie (proliferator) has been attacked by a player.]

[Hint: Your zombie (proliferator) has attempted to dodge an attack, but failed. You have received dodge-experience point +1.]

[Hint: Your zombie (proliferator) kills a player. You have received skill: Butcher’s teaching-bleeding experience point +1. You have received skill: dodging experience point +1.]

(Hint: Your zombie…]

Did they encounter a player?

It was a rare situation.

‘There were not many players in the forest.

Fang Heng curled his lips. Due to the small number of players, the information that he had just released through the survival radio about purchasing a skill book had also sunk like a stone into the sea.

These people could only be considered unlucky to have encountered a group of zombie clones.

However…

[Hint: Your zombie group has been affected by the flashbang and has entered a blind state.}

[Hint: The player has escaped the battle area.]

[Hint: Your zombie group is no longer chasing after them. You are currently executing the original mission-guards are on standby.]

[Hint: In this battle, your zombie group has killed two players. You have received skill: blocking experience points +334, skill: dodging experience points +277 and skill: Butcher’s teaching-bleeding experience point +1.]

[Hint: Your blocking skill has been upgraded to Level 2 and your dodging skill has been upgraded to Level 2.]

“These people have flashbangs?”

Fang Heng was a little surprised.

He carefully looked at the game log and found another strange thing.

During the previous hack mission, the Butcher’s teaching skill had not gained any experience points.

After all, the Butcher’s teaching skill-bleeding effect only worked on players. Hence, it made sense that the experience points could only be gained by fighting against players.

However, why did the two skills, blocking and dodging, also gain so many experience points?

Previously, they had killed quite a few zombies during the mission. Among them, there were even Tier 1 mutated zombies.

However, these two skills did not gain any experience points!

Was it because ordinary zombies would not take the initiative to attack?

That was not right. Basic mutated zombies would also take the initiative to attack.

Or could it be that these two skills could only gain experience points by fighting against players?

This was a bit of a trap.

Fang Heng lowered his head, thinking about where to find some ignorant players to gain experience points.

After all, he was going to the dangerous Pine City in five days. The dodging and blocking skills on hand could effectively increase his combat power.

It was best to farm them in advance.

[Hint: Your zombie group has completed the mission to clear the camp. You have killed 229 ordinary zombies and one mutated zombie. You have received a total of 411 survival points, evolution crystal fragment*34.]

[Hint: You have completed the mission of clearing the abandoned camp. Please look for Vettel to collect your reward in time.]

[Hint: Your zombie group has completed the mission of searching the abandoned tourist camp…]

Seeing that the zombie group had completed the missions, Fang Heng continued to control them to head to the next mission location and grind experience points.

‘An hour later, outside the prison.

Black Tiger was standing on a hill in the distance.

He was looking at the prison with his binoculars.

It was actually…

‘An elite mercenary NPC of the Dark Knights?!

How was this possible?

Could it be a shelter built by both the NPC and the players?!

Cold sweat dripped down Black Tiger’s face.

This prison was too scary!

The trees around the prison were all artificially cleared by the players.

Anyone who tried to approach the prison would be easily discovered by the sentry tower guards!

Yes, there were sentry towers!

A row of densely packed sentry towers had been built in the inner part of the prison.

In addition, there were Dark Knight elites on the sentry towers!

Their people couldn’t break into this prison!

“Is Phoenix Sound Gaming Company crazy? Did they offend such a powerful enemy? Are they not afraid of death?”

Black Tiger cursed silently.

Even if Phoenix Sound was not afraid, they were still afraid!

He was glad that he kept his vigilance and had done a thorough investigation before attacking the prison.

Otherwise…

If they forcefully attacked the camp, he could not think of a second answer other than getting wiped out!

‘There were at least two Dark Knights’ NPCs guarding the sentry tower.

This was the prison’s ostensible defensive strength.

‘There was no need for two. They only needed an elite holding a sniper rifle to wipe out their entire group!

“Damn it! Phoenix Sound! Deliberately messing with our mercenary group?”

Having been tricked to come all the way here, Black Tiger was extremely furious.

He almost led his brothers to their deaths!

‘The other brothers in the team were also sweating profusely.

They didn’t die at the hands of zombies just now, and now they almost died at the hands of the Dark Knights.

Today, they had been hovering between life and death several times.

“Leader, what should we do?”

“Retreat! While the sky is still dark, go find a place to stay for one night. Tomorrow, we’ll change clothes and leave!”

Black Tiger gritted his teeth.

‘When he returned, he would seek an explanation from Phoenix Sound Gaming Company!

How could the difficulty of this mission only be S-level?

This mission was impossible to complete!
