Zhou Chen did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he squatted down and opened a paper box beside him. He found that there were three bottles of mineral water inside. The reason he was so sure was that these unopened plastic bottles had words written on them.
He picked up a bottle of water and looked at it over and over again before twisting the bottle cap. He was inclined to think that these bottles of water could be drunk.
Zhou Chen’s discovery immediately reminded the other Survivors. They also began to open the box beside them.
Since everyone had one box, they did not fight over it.
“I also have three bottles of mineral water.”
“Me too.”
“Is this drinkable…”
“Why can’t it be drunk? These are clearly unopened. I’m a little thirsty right now, let me have a bottle first.”
Amidst the discussion, a young man with yellow hair opened a bottle of mineral water and drank a few mouthfuls.
After gulping down half a bottle, he let out a comfortable sound, indicating that the taste of the mineral water was not bad.
The short-clothed, middle-aged man who spoke first also revealed a happy expression when he saw this.
“Everyone, the water in these boxes seems to be the supplies given to us by the system. With them, the difficulty of passing the next three days will decrease greatly. Now, we just need to focus on finding a safe place to survive these three days.”
The short-clothed middle-aged man’s words were reasonable. As long as they did not fall into the hands of the zombies, they could pass the three days even if they only drank water.
“Instead of wasting time here, we might as well go out and check the situation. I think zombies will come here soon.”
The tall young man, who had expressed his intention to do the mission alone, said to the others with a disdainful tone. Then, he took the three bottles of mineral water and left the messy warehouse.
Zhou Chen was the second to leave after this person because he had already finished thinking and decided to adopt the lone wolf strategy.
Because he had the talent of a passive plunderer, he definitely had to try hunting some targets to obtain possible passive skills. If he was with others, there was a risk of being exposed, and it was easy for accidents to happen. Only by doing it alone could he control the situation.
After putting the three bottles of mineral water in his clothes and pants pockets, Zhou Chen quickly arrived at the exit of the building through the corridor outside the warehouse.
Near the exit, he saw the back of the young man who had left at the beginning. At this moment, he was holding an iron rod and quietly walking out. Then, he heard a few low roars and the sound of something shattering.
He quickly walked to the exit and looked outside.
Outside was a dilapidated road. The young man on the road was smashing a zombie’s head with an iron rod. Behind him were three decapitated corpses.
“This person is amazing, he killed four zombies so quickly. His talent might be agility related.”
Zhou Chen made a guess. Then, he found a sturdy wooden stick in the building and slipped out.
The reason why he was unwilling to stay in this seemingly safe place was that he found some zombies staggering in the distance. As time passed, more and more zombies would gather in this factory, and it would become increasingly dangerous.
Thanks to the young man clearing the way, Zhou Chen did not encounter any zombie attacks when he went out. The zombies in the distance seemed to have poor perception and were unable to discover him.
He quickly walked out of this place that would soon be a zombie hotspot, and looked for a suitable place to hide while also looking for a suitable target.
After carefully walking along the road for a while, he approached a building not far from the road.
It was daytime, and the sky was clear. Zhou Chen confirmed that there were only two zombies around the building and they were quite far from each other.
“They are two good targets. I wonder if hunting them will bring me a new passive skill…”
While he was thinking, Zhou Chen’s hand suddenly darkened. He swiped the tip of his wooden stick, and some unknown black matter was left on the wooden stick.
He had activated his corpse poison ability to enchant the wooden stick with corpse poison.
He had developed this technique a few days ago. He had specially found some small animals to test it. The effect was very good. Those unlucky little animals quickly died when they touched the corpse poison on his tools.
Zhou Chen slowly approached a zombie from behind. He tightened his grip on the wooden stick that was enhanced with corpse poison. When he was within three meters of the zombie, the zombie suddenly turned its head and bared its fangs at him.
However, just as the zombie raised its rotten claws, the wooden stick had already smashed into its disgusting head. Zhou Chen did not use much strength this time to test the effect of the corpse poison on the zombie.
Roar!
The zombie that had been hit in the head by the poison rod did not die. It roared and charged toward Zhou Chen, but its steps were unsteady and it could not even touch the agile Zhou Chen.
“The damage from the corpse poison doesn’t seem to be too effective on zombies, but the weakening effect is not bad.”
Seeing this, Zhou Chen determined that although his corpse poison could not kill this zombie quickly, it had clearly slowed it down, far from the speed of the zombie that was chasing the iron rod youth.
After obtaining the information he wanted, he used all his strength to break the zombie’s neck and kill it, because the other zombie not far away had already sensed the commotion and was quickly rushing over.
The corpse poison on the wooden stick was not completely used up. He nimbly dodged to the side to avoid the attacking zombie. At the same time, he used the tip of the wooden stick to scratch the zombie’s body, to infect it with corpse poison.
The black corpse poison took effect in less than half a second after entering its body, slowing its speed.
Zhou Chen easily destroyed its decayed head.
After dealing with the two zombies, a trace of seriousness flashed across Zhou Chen’s face because he realized that he had not received any notice from the system, nor had he obtained any passive skills from the two zombies.
“Are these two zombies so weak? They don’t have any passive skills? Don’t tell me all the zombies here are like this…”
Zhou Chen felt that the situation was not good.. If the zombies here were all like this, although it would be easier for him to pass the three days, his gains would definitely decrease greatly.
