nThe thing that was quivering and sounded like a drum was a huge cocoon formed by a mutant zombie!

n

n

n“Dong!”

n

n

n“Dong!”

n

n

n“Dong!”

n

n

nThe dull sound kept pounding on Enoch’s heart!

n

n

nHow could a zombie have a heartbeat!!

n

n

nIn this windless shopping mall, Enoch felt a chill.

n

n

nIt wasn’t because he was afraid of the strength of the zombies in the huge cocoon.

n

n

nEnoch’s berserk rats still had some trump cards that they hadn’t used yet. What shocked Enoch was the terrifying heartbeat.

n

n

nHeartbeat, this was a privilege that only living beings had!

n

n

nDuring the process of mutation, zombies could actually transform into living beings!

n

n

nOnce the zombie transformed into a living being, it was equivalent to possessing the potential to evolve!

n

n

nAs a zombie, it could only rely on mutation to improve its body strength, and it would not possess any intelligence.

n

n

nEnoch had investigated this point when he met the first zombie.

n

n

nAfter killing the zombie, Enoch looked at the zombie’s body.

n

n

nHe found that it was different from the zombie movies he had seen before.

n

n

nAll the functions of the zombie’s body had long stopped.

n

n

nIt was driven by an unknown force that allowed it to move around in the Black Fog.

n

n

nHe could confirm that the zombies he had killed before were all long-dead bodies.

n

n

nThey were not creatures that had been infected by the virus and turned into zombies.

n

n

nThat was why the giant black cocoon had surprised Enoch so much.

n

n

nWhat time was it now?

n

n

nIt was only the fourth day he had entered the Divine Tree dimension!

n

n

nAnd the world within the Black Fog had many signs that indicated that the Black Fog had invaded this world for at most a month!

n

n

nWithin a month, zombies could mutate to the point of having a life.

n

n

nAs for how far they could evolve after that, Enoch was unable to predict.

n

n

nThe only thing he knew was that as time passed, the threat within the Black Fog would become more and more terrifying!

n

n

nTherefore.

n

n

nEnoch was extremely curious about this giant black cocoon.

n

n

nHe had originally planned to leave the shop areas and explore other areas.

n

n

nHowever, because of the appearance of the giant black cocoon, Enoch planned to stay in the shop area for a while longer.

n

n

nHe would wait for the giant black cocoon to hatch and observe this creature that had evolved from zombies.

n

n

nWas there anything special about it?

n

n

nOr could he discover the weakness of this monster!

n

n

nThis would help a lot to fight against similar monsters in the future.

n

n

n“Dong!”

n

n

n“Dong!”

n

n

n“Dong!”

n

n

nThe strong heartbeat of the monster became more and more obvious.

n

n

nThis meant that there was not much time left before the monster successfully hatched.

n

n

nIn that case, Enoch planned to send out 30 Berserk Rats to keep their eyes on the hatching black cocoon in the shop.

n

n

nHe would bring the remaining 19 Berserk Rats to explore the surrounding areas.

n

n

nEnoch was confident that he could kill the zombie after it hatched in the cocoon, but that did not mean that the zombie was not a threat.

n

n

nUnder Enoch’s orders, the 30 Berserk Rats hid in every corner of the shop and monitored the black cocoon. If there was an unusual movement, they would report to Enoch first.

n

n

nAfter the Berserk Rats were deployed well, Enoch started to search around the shop area.

n

n

nPerhaps it was because Enoch had unlocked the map of the shop area, some basic information about the shop appeared in the Map of the netherworld column.

n

n

nMap of the netherworld

n

n

nUnlocked area: 70% of the family shopping mall

n

n

nHint: the Divine Tree Master can check the basic information of the shopping mall.

n

n

nEnoch immediately opened the basic information of the shopping mall and would like to see what this function could do.

n

n

nAt the moment, after exploring more than 70% of one area, the basic information could be unlocked.

n

n

nAnd the exploration progress had not reached 100%, which also meant that there were still areas in the shopping mall that Enoch had missed.

n

n

nAs Enoch opened the panel, the model of the shopping mall in the explored area was displayed in the form of a 3D image before Enoch’s eyes.

n

n

nThe general structure of the shopping mall was similar to what Enoch expected. It mainly consisted of two parts, the parking lot and the shopping mall.

n

n

nAlthough the 3D model did not show the unexplored areas, it was not difficult to infer the general direction of the unexplored areas based on the known areas.

n

n

nAt this time, Enoch had already arrived at the back of the shopping mall.

n

n

nThere was still a vast Black Fog in front of him, and he could not see any target clearly. Judging from the parking line that had disappeared from the ground, he could tell that there were some buildings behind.

n

n

nThis no longer belonged to the area of the parking lot, so there was no reason for the mall owner to leave such a large empty area.

n

n

nTherefore, there should still be some buildings in front of him.

n

n

nWarehouses?

n

n

nFields?

n

n

nResidences?

n

n

nBoth of them were possible. Thinking of this, Enoch led the Berserk Rats towards the Black Fog.

n

n

n…

n

n

nAt the same time, about a hundred meters away from the shopping mall.

n

n

nA figure was walking carefully on the street.

n

n

nHe was Alan, and he was also a Divine Tree Master.

n

n

nIt was the first time he walked out of the island to explore the Black Fog.

n

n

nHowever, judging from his dusty face and torn clothes, his condition wasn’t very good.

n

n

n“The damn black mist is only of three-meter visibility. I couldn’t detect anything unusual when those zombies get close!”

n

n

n“Fortunately, I’ve awakened class B power. I almost died just now!”

n

n

nAllen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and murmured in fear.

n

n

nHe was lucky. After entering the Divine Tree Space, he had awakened a class B talent, which allowed him to gain the ability to control magnetic force within three days.

n

n

nGenerally speaking, Allen’s power wasn’t weak.

n

n

nHowever, with his power, he found that the low-level zombies in the Black Fog were ridiculously weak.

n

n

nHe could kill them instantly with just an iron sword.

n

n

nAs a result, he had no scruples in exploring the Black Fog.

n

n

nTherefore…

n

n

nFive minutes ago, Allen, who thought that he was blessed with the protagonist’s Halo, fell.

n

n

nWith his magnetic power, he found a hardware store in the Black Fog based on his power’s guidance.

n

n

nHe found many useful tools. Moreover, with his magnetic power, these ordinary tools could be used as sharp weapons to kill enemies.

n

n

nAlan, who was in high spirits, was ready to pack all the things in the temporary warehouse and take them away. At this moment, the noise attracted the zombies.

n

n

nThe narrow hardware store!

n

n

nThe surging zombies’ crowd!

n

n

nIt almost turned Allen into one of the zombies.

n

n

nFortunately, as a last thought, he attached all the iron weapons to his body and made them into a simple protective suit, and escaped out of the zombie crowd.

n

n

nAfter this battle, Allen finally stopped acting recklessly.

n

n

n“The monsters moving in groups are too scary!”

n

n

n“As long as I can collect some food, I’ll return to the island immediately!”

n

n

nAllen secretly swore in his heart.

n

n

nWhen he just escaped from the hardware store, he saw a store’s brochure.

n

n

nIt was not far from the hardware store.

n

n

nAllen looked at the buildings around the street and gave himself a sigh of relief.

n

n

n“I’ll reach the store soon!”
