Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Fang Heng hid in the distance. He controlled more than 50 vine zombies to continuously extend vines from their bodies. The vines quickly extended towards the ghost claw of the ghost claw zombie, trying to entangle it. The 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. However, just as it broke free, another vine wrapped around it. Suppression by numbers!!! The five ghost claw zombies were trapped by the vines of more than 50 vine zombies, unable to move! At this time, Fang Heng maintained a safe distance. He took out his pistol, aimed at the ghost claw zombie’s head, and started shooting. “Bang!” “Bang Bang!” (Hint: Your attack missed.] [Hint: You’ve hit a Tier 2 mutated zombie-ghost claw’s vital point. Your gun mastery skill experience points +5.] [Hint: You’ve hit a Tier 2 mutated zombie-ghost claw’s vital point. Your gun mastery skill experience points +5.] In the game, it was extremely difficult to obtain the experience points for gun mastery. It was related to the difficulty of shooting and the strength of the target. There would be an increase in experience points only when the player hit a vital part of the enemy or killed it. In 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! If they wanted to increase the level of their gun mastery, they would have to use a large number of bullets! Fang Heng had been in the game for so long, but he was only at Level 3 gun mastery. “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.” Seeing the ghost claw zombies being entangled by the vine zombies, Fang Heng didn’t panic anymore. After all, his opponent was a Tier 2 mutated zombie. It was a rare opportunity! How could he not take the opportunity to practice his marksmanship? Fang Heng held his breath and focused. After aiming at the ghost claw zombie’s head, he began practising his marksmanship. “Bang!” “Bang! Bang!” [Hint: 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.] [Hint: Your gun mastery skill has been upgraded to Level 5.] Fang Heng spent a full 20 minutes to level up his gun skill to Level 5. Originally there were five ghost claw zombies, now there was only one left struggling. It 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. It was still trying to struggle. Fang Heng was standing 30 meters away from it while he was shooting. He 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. Fang Heng continued aiming at the zombie’s head and kept pressing the trigger. His critical hit rate was about one-third. Compared to when he was at Level 3, his accuracy had improved a lot. While shooting, Fang Heng suddenly had a new idea. He put down his gun and lowered his head to think. He remembered that he had helped Qiu Yaokang bring a poisonous zombie back to the shelter to do research yesterday. Similarly, live Lickers were also being studied in the shelter’s research room. Following this train of thought. Then… Could he bring a live ghost claw zombie back to the shelter to do research? Imagine if he could transform his zombie clone into a ghost claw zombie… Fang Heng quickly thought about it. “No, this thing is too stupid.” “Lickers are better.” But that didn’t hinder the research. He could bring it back for research and capitalize on the strengths of the ghost claw zombie for research. “Who cares!” It was rare to meet a Tier 2 mutated zombie, so he decided to kidnap one first! Fang Heng narrowed his eyes. He felt that this idea was pretty good! He 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. “There should be no problem now, right?” Fang Heng muttered to himself. He controlled the vine zombies to drag the entangled ghost claw zombie back to the back of the truck. After clearing the zombies, it was time to loot. Fang Heng turned around and looked at the hardware store. Apart from the five mutated zombies, there were no ordinary zombies in the entire store. Fang Heng felt that there might have been players who had explored the hardware store before and helped clear the ordinary zombies. Unfortunately, they couldn’t do anything to the Tier 2 mutated zombies, so they could only leave quietly. Fang Heng stood at the entrance and controlled the remaining zombies to enter the hardware store to search for materials. After a short while, the zombies walked out of the store one by one and threw all the materials in front of Fang Heng. [Hint: 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…] Ha! He got a skill book! What a great harvest! Fang Heng picked up the loot and looked at it. (Mechanical maintenance manual] Type: Skill book. Skill 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). [Blueprint-barbed wire] ‘Type: Blueprint. Description: After use, you can master the construction of barbed wire. Barbed 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). Blueprint learning condition: Basic construction (Level 10). Good stuff! The harvest this time was simply too good to be true! There were a total of three maintenance manuals. In addition to giving Qiu Yaokang one, he could also learn one and help out. Fang Heng believed that with the help of his zombie clones, he could quickly level up his skills in a short period. Unfortunately, as a player, Fang Heng’s skills could not exceed a character’s level. Currently, he could only upgrade to Level 13. Qiu Yaokang was different. In theory, he could increase the level of his skills infinitely. In addition, the barbed wire modification blueprint was also a good thing. It could act as a defense weapon for the shelter! Other than the damage it dealt, it also had a hidden effect. Against spider zombies! Spider zombies that tried to climb the barbed wire would lose a lot of HP. It was very effective! “Eh? There’s another skill book that I missed?” Fang Heng found a skill book at the bottom of the materials. [Eliot’s mechanical lecture notes-detailed explanation of mechanical disassembly and assembly] Type: Skill book. Skill 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. Skill description 2: Disassembling will consume additional vitality points. (The number and level of the parts obtained from disassembling are related to the skill level). Amazing! A skill book about disassembling! Fang Heng was pleasantly surprised. The skill of mechanical disassembly was very widely used! In the old server, it was even hyped up by black merchants to the price of a B+ level skill book! There was even a market for it! Without the skill, ordinary players could only use a small stone hammer to disassemble the machinery. After disassembling, they would usually get some scrap metal. After learning the mechanical disassembly skill, it would be different. He could use a wrench to disassemble higher-level parts and components. Mechanical disassembly?! Wasn’t this what his demolition operation needed right now?! Fang Heng patted the three skill books on his head. [Hint: You’ve learned skills: mechanical maintenance and mechanical disassembly; you’ve mastered blueprint: barbed wire.] Next, he could control the zombie clones to disassemble machinery! But before that, Fang Heng still needed to provide a wrench for each zombie clone. Fang Heng thought and immediately gave the order to the zombie clones who were smelting iron in the abandoned mine..
