nIn the forest, Fang Heng followed the zombie clone and slowly moved forward.
n
nFang Heng stopped to observe his surroundings from time to time, then bent down to pick up the basic survival materials scattered on the ground.
n
nHint: You have obtained firewood.
n
nIn an apocalyptic environment, many materials could be picked up directly, such as small stones, firewood, grass, hay and so on. These were all materials used to make basic survival tools.
n
nThey walked and stopped for nearly ten minutes before the zombie clone in front stopped completely.
n
nNot far away, a zombie stood alone under a tree.
n
nFang Heng frowned. He slowly squatted down and hid his body in the bushes to observe.
n
nIn the apocalypse, zombies were the biggest threat.
n
nAfter a player defeated a zombie, there was a small chance that some tools would drop.
n
nAmong them, there was an extremely important item called the evolution crystal.
n
nIn the King of Gods’ game, the evolution crystal was the only way to increase a player’s level.
n
nGenerally speaking, in the early stages of the game, it was a race against time. The best choice was to think of ways to collect survival materials to survive. Wasting a large amount of time to kill a zombie was a very stupid action.
n
nAfter all, the drop rate of zombies was low and the items that dropped might not be useful in the early stages. If one was accidentally infected by the zombie during a fight, it would be a dead end.
n
nThe loss outweighed the gain.
n
nHowever…
n
nFang Heng rolled his eyes.
n
nHe was different from ordinary players.
n
nIf there was a chance to kill zombies and farm evolution crystals, he could quickly upgrade to level 2. At that time, he could summon two additional zombie clones, greatly increasing his current strength and his ‘hack’ efficiency in the early stages!
n
nFang Heng narrowed his eyes, opened his backpack and looked at the materials.
n
nThere were enough materials.
n
nAlong the way, he had collected enough basic materials to create two wooden spears.
n
nFang Heng had the zombies on alert mode, then he squatted down and opened the skill panel.
n
nIn the skill panel, the basic materials page had all kinds of survival tools to survive through the apocalypse, including wooden axes, simple beds, simple bonfires and so on.
n
nFang Heng quickly selected a wooden spear, and a green channelling bar appeared above his head.
n
nFive minutes later, two wooden spears appeared in Fang Heng’s hands.
n
nHint: You have completed the production of the wooden spear.
n
nYou have obtained a wooden spear*2.
n
nHint: You have mastered the basic production skill, your basic production skill experience points 2.
n
nItem: Simple wooden spear
n
nQuality: Crude
n
nAttack: 4-7
n
nDescription: The most basic survival weapon. It has crude workmanship and can cause relatively little damage to zombies.
n
nFang Heng held the spear in his hand and weighed it. Then, he threw one of the spears to the zombie clone beside him.
n
nFight!
n
nFang Heng and the zombie clone each held a wooden spear and slowly approached the zombie from behind.
n
n“Chi!”
n
nThe zombie clone was the first to attack and the wooden spear pierced into the rotten zombie’s body.
n
n“Roar! Woo!”
n
nThe zombie that was attacked let out a roar, then turned and pounced on Fang Heng.
n
n“The clone beat you up! Why are you beating me up?”
n
nFang Heng was cursing, but his body’s muscle memory was still intact. He reacted quickly and took half a step back to avoid the attack.
n
nThe wooden spear in his hand stabbed forward.
n
n“Chi!”
n
nThe tip of the wooden spear pierced into the zombie’s body, making a dry sound.
n
nFang Heng frowned.
n
nThe spear felt like it was stabbing a piece of rotten wood.
n
nFang Heng quickly pulled out the wooden spear and stepped back.
n
nThe zombie’s movements were very stiff but its defence was pretty good. Its body was still full of vigour after being pierced by the spear a few times.
n
nFang Heng didn’t dare to be negligent. He worked with his clone to circle the zombie and occasionally poked it a few times.
n
nAlthough the zombie was slow, if it accidentally scratched you, you would be infected by the virus.
n
nIn the early stage of the game, if you were infected by the zombie virus, it’s better to end the game by suicide. There was absolutely no way to survive.
n
nFang Heng waved the wooden spear and poked the zombie’s body more than twenty times. After poking it twenty times, the zombie howled and fell.
n
nHint: You have killed a zombie. You have gained 2 survival points.
n
nSurvival points were the currency of the zombie apocalypse world. Players could use them to buy items through the system store.
n
nDamn it! No evolution crystals dropped!
n
nIt was demoralizing!
n
nFang Heng shook his head repeatedly.
n
nIt took Fang Heng a lot of effort and time to kill the zombie this time.
n
n“The lowest level evolution crystal fragment drop rate is about 20%. The fact that it didn’t drop the first time was within my expectations. If I kill a few more, it will drop eventually.’
n
nFang Heng could only comfort himself like this.
n
nThere was still a margin for error.
n
n“Worst-case scenario, I won’t log off tonight!’
n
n“Woo…”
n
nThe battle just now had made quite a commotion. The second zombie was attracted by the noise and approached Fang Heng from a distance.
n
n“Again! Continue!”
n
nFang Heng raised his spirits with a few shouts, lifted his wooden spear and continued to kill the zombies.
n
nWhen the eighth zombie was killed by the spear, Fang Heng finally heard the notification of an item dropping.
n
nHint: You have killed a strong zombie. You have gained 3 survival points.
n
nHint: You have gained an evolution crystal fragment*1.
n
nCrystal! It finally dropped!
n
nFang Heng let out a sigh of relief. He held the evolution crystal fragment in his hand and observed it.
n
nThe thumb-sized crystal fragment was emitting a scarlet glow.
n
nItem: Evolution crystal fragment
n
nItem description: A special crystal fragment. It contains a powerful force and can increase the player’s character experience points (only effective on players below level 5.)
n
n“Bang!”
n
nFang Heng crushed the crystal fragment in his hand.
n
nThe red mist that was released from the crushed fragments was absorbed by Fang Heng’s palm.
n
nHint: You have absorbed the evolution crystal fragment.
n
nHint: Your level has been increased to level 2. You have gained two additional zombie clones.
n
nTwo zombies crawled out of the mud, one on the left and the other on the right. They stood behind Fang Heng obediently.
n
n“Haha! It’s a success!”
n
nFang Heng threw the spear in his hand to one of the zombies, then lowered his head and continued to make the spear.
n
nWith the addition of two new zombie clones, the efficiency of killing monsters would be greatly increased!
n
nHe needed to find a way to level up his talent skill to level 3! At that time, he would have six clones!
n
nSurvival?
n
nNo, levelling up was the most important thing right now!
n
nFang Heng made two more wooden spears, then commanded the zombie clones to knock on the big tree to make some noise to attract the nearby zombies.
n
nThe plan to level up by killing zombies! Begin!
n
n“This game is so interesting!”
n
nFang Heng muttered to himself, then raised his spear and stabbed at the zombie that was slowly approaching.
n
nIf someone saw Fang Heng killing zombies, they would think that he was crazy.
n
nHow long had it been since the game started and he had already started killing zombies?
n
nShouldn’t this kind of thing be considered in the later stages of the game?
n
n…
n
nThree hours later, Fang Heng’s character had reached level 4.
n
nA total of 10 zombie clones stood neatly behind Fang Heng.
n
nAfter reaching level 4, the experience points gained from using the crystal fragments would be greatly reduced.
n
nFang Heng roughly estimated that it would take about 20 to 30 evolution crystal fragments to upgrade his talent skill to level 5. This was not something that could be accomplished in a short period.
n
nThe sun was about to set, and the number and strength of zombies at night would greatly increase.
n
nIt was better to find a system shelter to settle in.
n
nThinking of this, Fang Heng took out the survival radio from his backpack.
n
nThe survival radio could use the ‘search’ function to search the coordinates of the nearby system shelters.
n
nThe prerequisite was to spend survival points.
n
nFang Heng had killed so many zombies along the way, and now he had a total of 172 survival points.
n
nWith so many points, it could be considered a huge sum of money in the early stages.
n
nAfter spending 10 points to obtain the nearest location of the system shelter, Fang Heng did not delay any longer and rushed towards the shelter.
