nFang Heng hid in the distance.

nHe controlled more than 50 vine zombies to continuously extend vines from their bodies.

nThe vines quickly extended towards the ghost claw of the ghost claw zombie, trying to entangle it.

nThe ghost claw zombie’s movement speed was slow. It was entangled by the vines, so it had no choice but to use the ghost claw on its right arm to break free from the vines.

nHowever, just as it broke free, another vine wrapped around it.

nSuppression by numbers!!!

nThe five ghost claw zombies were trapped by the vines of more than 50 vine zombies, unable to move!

nAt this time, Fang Heng maintained a safe distance.

nHe took out his pistol, aimed at the ghost claw zombie’s head, and started shooting.

n“Bang!”

n“Bang Bang!”

n(Hint: Your attack missed.

nHint: You’ve hit a Tier 2 mutated zombie-ghost claw’s vital point. Your gun mastery skill experience points 5.

nHint: You’ve hit a Tier 2 mutated zombie-ghost claw’s vital point. Your gun mastery skill experience points 5.

nIn the game, it was extremely difficult to obtain the experience points for gun mastery.

nIt was related to the difficulty of shooting and the strength of the target.

nThere would be an increase in experience points only when the player hit a vital part of the enemy or killed it.

nIn the early stages, due to the influence of the game, the attributes of the players were low, the level of their gun skills was low and the hit rate of their guns was even lower!

nIf they wanted to increase the level of their gun mastery, they would have to use a large number of bullets!

nFang Heng had been in the game for so long, but he was only at Level 3 gun mastery.

n“Tl take this opportunity to practice my marksmanship. The sooner I reach Level 10, the sooner I’ll be able to use my sniper rifle.”

nSeeing the ghost claw zombies being entangled by the vine zombies, Fang Heng didn’t panic anymore.

nAfter all, his opponent was a Tier 2 mutated zombie. It was a rare opportunity!

nHow could he not take the opportunity to practice his marksmanship?

nFang Heng held his breath and focused. After aiming at the ghost claw zombie’s head, he began practising his marksmanship.

n“Bang!”

n“Bang! Bang!”

nHint: You’ve hit the vital point of Tier 2 mutated zombie-ghost claw. Mutated zombie-ghost claw has died. Your gun mastery skill experience points 25.

nHint: Your gun mastery skill has been upgraded to Level 5.

nFang Heng spent a full 20 minutes to level up his gun skill to Level 5.

nOriginally there were five ghost claw zombies, now there was only one left struggling.

nIt had long been entangled by the vines that spread out from the bodies of the remaining 50-odd vine zombies, leaving only its head exposed.

nIt was still trying to struggle.

nFang Heng was standing 30 meters away from it while he was shooting.

nHe had no choice. Shooting at such a close distance could ensure his accuracy, but the difficulty of shooting would become very low. Even if he shot the zombie’s head, he wouldn’t gain any experience points.

nFang Heng continued aiming at the zombie’s head and kept pressing the trigger.

nHis critical hit rate was about one-third.

nCompared to when he was at Level 3, his accuracy had improved a lot.

nWhile shooting, Fang Heng suddenly had a new idea.

nHe put down his gun and lowered his head to think.

nHe remembered that he had helped Qiu Yaokang bring a poisonous zombie back to the shelter to do research yesterday.

nSimilarly, live Lickers were also being studied in the shelter’s research room.

nFollowing this train of thought.

nThen…

nCould he bring a live ghost claw zombie back to the shelter to do research?

nImagine if he could transform his zombie clone into a ghost claw zombie…

nFang Heng quickly thought about it.

n“No, this thing is too stupid.”

n“Lickers are better.”

nBut that didn’t hinder the research.

nHe could bring it back for research and capitalize on the strengths of the ghost claw zombie for research.

n“Who cares!”

nIt was rare to meet a Tier 2 mutated zombie, so he decided to kidnap one first!

nFang Heng narrowed his eyes. He felt that this idea was pretty good!

nHe put away his gun and controlled the remaining vine zombies to surround the ghost claw zombie. The vines wrapped the ghost claw zombie up to ten layers.

n“There should be no problem now, right?”

nFang Heng muttered to himself. He controlled the vine zombies to drag the entangled ghost claw zombie back to the back of the truck.

nAfter clearing the zombies, it was time to loot.

nFang Heng turned around and looked at the hardware store.

nApart from the five mutated zombies, there were no ordinary zombies in the entire store.

nFang Heng felt that there might have been players who had explored the hardware store before and helped clear the ordinary zombies.

nUnfortunately, they couldn’t do anything to the Tier 2 mutated zombies, so they could only leave quietly.

nFang Heng stood at the entrance and controlled the remaining zombies to enter the hardware store to search for materials.

nAfter a short while, the zombies walked out of the store one by one and threw all the materials in front of Fang Heng.

nHint: Your zombie group found a crowbar, mechanical maintenance manual*3, wrench*5, tire*3, jack*1, forged steel*2, simple maintenance bag*2, pliers*3, steel wire, mechanical assembly, blueprint-barbed wire…

nHa! He got a skill book!

nWhat a great harvest!

nFang Heng picked up the loot and looked at it.

n(Mechanical maintenance manual

nType: Skill book.

nSkill description: After learning, you can master the skill-mechanical maintenance. Maintenance requires specific tools and consumable materials (maintenance success rate is related to the current skill level and the character’s basic attributes).

nBlueprint-barbed wire

n‘Type: Blueprint.

nDescription: After use, you can master the construction of barbed wire.

nBarbed wire: Upgrades the normal barbed wire and increases the durability of the barbed wire by 20%. When the barbed wire receives close-range damage, it will reflect 20% of the damage received (ineffective against players, ineffective against large zombies).

nBlueprint learning condition: Basic construction (Level 10).

nGood stuff!

nThe harvest this time was simply too good to be true!

nThere were a total of three maintenance manuals. In addition to giving Qiu Yaokang one, he could also learn one and help out.

nFang Heng believed that with the help of his zombie clones, he could quickly level up his skills in a short period.

nUnfortunately, as a player, Fang Heng’s skills could not exceed a character’s level. Currently, he could only upgrade to Level 13.

nQiu Yaokang was different. In theory, he could increase the level of his skills infinitely.

nIn addition, the barbed wire modification blueprint was also a good thing. It could act as a defense weapon for the shelter!

nOther than the damage it dealt, it also had a hidden effect.

nAgainst spider zombies!

nSpider zombies that tried to climb the barbed wire would lose a lot of HP. It was very effective!

n“Eh? There’s another skill book that I missed?”

nFang Heng found a skill book at the bottom of the materials.

nEliot’s mechanical lecture notes-detailed explanation of mechanical disassembly and assembly

nType: Skill book.

nSkill description 1: After reading, learn the skill-mechanical disassembly. After learning the skill, players can use tools such as wrenches to disassemble mechanical objects. After disassembling, players can obtain parts of mechanical parts and components.

nSkill description 2: Disassembling will consume additional vitality points.

n(The number and level of the parts obtained from disassembling are related to the skill level).

nAmazing! A skill book about disassembling!

nFang Heng was pleasantly surprised.

nThe skill of mechanical disassembly was very widely used!

nIn the old server, it was even hyped up by black merchants to the price of a B level skill book!

nThere was even a market for it!

nWithout the skill, ordinary players could only use a small stone hammer to disassemble the machinery.

nAfter disassembling, they would usually get some scrap metal.

nAfter learning the mechanical disassembly skill, it would be different.

nHe could use a wrench to disassemble higher-level parts and components.

nMechanical disassembly?!

nWasn’t this what his demolition operation needed right now?!

nFang Heng patted the three skill books on his head.

nHint: You’ve learned skills: mechanical maintenance and mechanical disassembly; you’ve mastered blueprint: barbed wire.

nNext, he could control the zombie clones to disassemble machinery!

nBut before that, Fang Heng still needed to provide a wrench for each zombie clone.

nFang Heng thought and immediately gave the order to the zombie clones who were smelting iron in the abandoned mine..

n
