Qiu Yu now has two pieces of information that he urgently needs to obtain. One is the current location, and the other is the monster's form.
In terms of location, I saw a few street signs just now. But on a 1:100,000 map, such a small road less than a kilometer is just a thin line on the map, without even space for a name.
Not to mention the less eye-catching and special buildings. You can only look for trunk-level roads and landmarks later, or ask people who have not been thoroughly brainwashed.
As for the monster form... although the power outage area is not necessarily the direction from which the monster comes. But at least it's the most likely direction at the moment. Qiu Yu didn't like to wait passively. Since he felt confident in escaping, he naturally wanted to take the initiative to test it out.
On the way to the dark direction, human reactions appeared again within the range covered by the spread of perception. Qiu Yu did not make contact immediately, but just took note of the reaction position and continued with the original goal.
Compared with strength, the more intuitive effect of physical enhancement is endurance, while agility enhancement also increases a lot of speed. The distance of two kilometers from the dark area took less than six minutes, even at a reserved trot. Then, the already vague diameter of forty meters in the spread of perception was further expanded to one hundred meters by Qiu Yu.
At this level, even the outline of the building became blurred, but Qiu Yu didn't need to see anything clearly. He just needed to make subtle comparisons repeatedly to determine if there was anything unique and special near him.
This dark area did not extend to infinity, but was probably only a few hundred meters wide. Qiu Yu carefully walked from one end of the darkness to the other. It took half an hour, but he did not find any moving creatures in his perception.
At the other end of the darkness, Qiu Yu stopped and felt the flow of electricity recirculating into the darkness. Soon after, a short-circuited transformer was discovered at the end where the current had stopped.
He sighed deeply in his heart and turned back. But at this moment, due to the sensing current, he was pushed back to the edge of perception with a diameter of forty meters, and suddenly enveloped in a vague humanoid figure lying on the ground.
The spread of perception will never go wrong. If the information fed back to Qiu Yu is a humanoid figure, then this existence is only humanoid in form. Compared with the so-called humanoids with the breath of life, the difference in the ability to sense spread is as obvious as white and black.
So this humanoid is either a dead human being, or... it is some kind of humanoid life form that Qiuyu has never come into contact with. In layman's terms, it is a monster in this game.
As Qiu Yu approaches it, the range of perception is compressed with this humanoid figure as its target. The appearance of the humanoid figure gradually became clearer.
Qiu Yu stopped in front of a wall. Three meters before and after the wall was the target. From this distance, Qiu Yu could already see it clearly. It was a human corpse. It was probably a very brutal attack during his lifetime. His right hand had been broken, and there was a strip of broken flesh on the smooth arm bones. There were several wounds deep into the internal organs on the abdomen, chest and abdomen. The skin and flesh at the wounds were turned outwards, and dried blood clots were condensed with unknown pieces of flesh, hair and clothing around them. If the color of the corpse is compared with normal light, it is blue-black, as if it has been poisoned... which is strange. This thing wasn't killed by a monster, it was a monster itself!
Qiu Yu penetrated the spreading power of perception into the "corpse". The function of the internal organs has completely ceased, but there is no decay. Bioelectric currents, like the beating of the heart, are conducted slowly but regularly in this body.
That's right, this is a monster called a zombie. A kind of monster that Qiu Yu expected, but definitely didn't want to see. Especially in an environment like a city.
Roar--
Qiu Yu was about to use the spread of perception to continue to explore the zombies behind the wall, when a roar like a beast with injured vocal cords suddenly sounded.
This sound was like a wake-up call, and roars sounded one after another. In just a few seconds, these frightening sounds almost became one. The zombie behind the wall also slowly climbed up from the ground, raised its head and joined the roaring ranks.
Although there is a wall in reality, in Qiuyu's perception it is not. The zombie's sudden move startled Qiuyu and he took a step back. This step was very light and should not have made any sound. But the zombies behind the wall stopped roaring and cast their turbid eyes on the wall where Qiu Yu was.
No matter how he predicts events and strategizes, this is the first time Qiu Yu has faced such a disgusting creature at close range alone. He no longer continued to play the game of going deep into the tiger's den, and immediately adjusted the spread of perception to a radius of twenty meters, and began to retreat lightly.
The zombie didn't break through the wall or jump over the wall quickly, it just circled back and forth around the wall. But Qiu Yu's situation didn't get much better.
As the zombies that had previously pretended to be dead climbed up and the perception of shortened range became clear, no matter how you walked, you could see several zombies in your perception at the same time. Although these zombies are not fast, they feel quite sharp, and Qiu Yu's stealth performance is quite thrilling. At the moment when he was about to return to the bright realm, he was finally blocked by zombies.
After judging by sensing the spread that the detour might attract more zombies, Qiu Yu quickly calculated the zombies' action patterns in his mind, pulled out the kitchen knife behind him and accelerated forward. The moment he passed by the zombie, he really chopped off the zombie's head like a kitchen knife chopping vegetables. At the same time, he still had time to turn his head to the side, completely avoiding the black blood sprayed by the zombies.
It wasn't until this moment that Qiu Yu intuitively realized how strong his agility enhancement was, especially the agility enhancement combined with the spread of perception.
Sensing the spread of the opponent, every subtle movement of the body, and every distribution of power in the muscles are all under Qiu Yu's control. To put it simply, Qiu Yu knows how and when the opponent will make a move before he makes a move. . As long as Qiu Yu's body speed can keep up with his reaction, there is no chance of being attacked. But now, the agility enhancement has just made up for Qiu Yu's physical speed disadvantage.
Savoring the feeling of the battle just now, Qiu Yu even felt that he could compete with Li Ningfeng. But it was just a matter of resistance. With Li Ningfeng's current physical strength, he wouldn't be able to hit him even if he were to hit him. But at least there will no longer be the dilemma of Li Ningfeng having his jaw removed with one move.
Qiu Yu stopped running away. Since according to my own calculations, it is impossible to be hit by zombies before my physical strength is exhausted, then I would be really sorry for myself who has been suppressed for a long time if I don't experience the long-awaited battle.
Holding the knife, he turned around and looked at the jogging zombies. Qiu Yu's eyes were extremely cautious, but the corners of his mouth were raised in a high arc.
Tens of seconds later, all the chasing zombies were lying on the ground, and their heads were neatly lined up in front of Qiu Yu.
Qiu Yu, who was not stained by any blood, let out an unfinished sigh. Although according to his own calculations, the remaining physical strength can support at least three battles of this level. But when the last few zombies were around, the kitchen knife had become more useful than the blade, but the back of the knife. You can't even finish half a battle with this kind of weapon before you die from exhaustion.
"It seems that mortal things are no longer worthy of my power."
What Sima Tianzhi might say when encountering this situation suddenly popped into Qiu Yu's mind.
He smiled to himself. Maybe everyone has a weakened Sima Tianzhi in their hearts, but he didn't want to show it.
More than ten minutes later, Qiu Yu returned to the villa.
"Zombie, walking zombie, zombie. No matter what you call it, that's the monster we have to face next. It doesn't move very fast, probably faster than ordinary walking speed, but its sense of hearing and smell is quite developed, and it should also have certain vision. , it is almost impossible not to be discovered if you get close to a certain extent. It is stronger than humans, and it will be quite dangerous if you cannot kill it first when it comes into contact."
The three of them listened to Qiu Yu's description in stunned silence. After a long time, Ivan asked, "Did you just go out to detect information about monsters?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Inoue asked, "You can't know so much just by looking at it, right? Have you ever been in contact with those things?"
"Oh, you were right. If I hadn't been lucky, I wouldn't have been able to come back."
"Aren't you a student? How could you be so bold to do this alone!" Mattli had long suspected Qiu Yu's identity.
"Maybe I'm from some kind of special school. For example, in order to tap students' superpowers and put them into various dangerous environments." Without giving the three people a chance to continue asking questions, Qiu Yu continued, "In general Generally speaking, the current situation is a little better than expected. At least the monsters that appear can be contended with, and they don't have much intelligence. The only pity is that zombies cannot be our food source."
Mattley rolled his eyes, "Isn't that a pity... We won't become zombies too, right?"
"I can't say for sure, but the people in front can leave calmly. At least it means that the factor that turns into a zombie is not airborne. By the way, aren't you a doctor? You can capture a zombie and study it."
Qiuyu explained the situation in a gag way, hoping to ease the tension among the people as much as possible. Catching zombies for research was just a joke, but unexpectedly, Mattli actually started to think about it seriously.
Inoue shivered. He was really afraid that Mattli would do something like that, so he quickly changed the subject, "Whoever put us here doesn't seem to want to harm us."
"If we put them in the middle of a large group of zombies, aren't they trying to harm us?" Ivan shouted.
"If we stay in the direction where the zombies are coming, we may already be zombies. Even if we evacuate together with other residents, if zombies appear among the residents, chaos will immediately occur, and maybe they will all turn into zombies. . And this place gives us time to prepare before the zombies attack, and everyone around us has left, so we don’t have to worry about more zombies being spawned. So no matter how you think about it, this is the best shelter we can think of at the moment. ." Having said this, Inokami looked at Qiu Yu, "How long will it take for those zombies to get here?"
"The nearest group is about two kilometers away from here. They are very slow, and since they are not moving in a straight line, it will take three or four hours at the fastest."
"Then it's too early for us to leave now, right?" Ivan lowered his voice as if he was afraid of attracting zombies two kilometers away.
Qiu Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him, but Inoue patiently explained, "Since the monster is a zombie turned into a human being, there is danger no matter which direction you run now. It is best to stay in this house that we have prepared." safe."
Mattley, who had been thinking seriously for a long time, said, "Do you know anything else about zombies?"
"Features? You can kill them completely by cutting off their heads. Also, zombies are completely dormant during the day and only stand up and move at night."
Hearing Qiu Yu say that zombies sleep during the day, everyone's faces unconsciously showed joy. Only Qiu Yu was filled with worry.
Regardless of their own strength or their obvious shortcomings, those zombies are too weak. Too weak to be worthy of a game called Destruction. If other players only regard these zombies, or zombies of this level, as opponents, they will definitely suffer unimaginable losses.
