66: Chapter 66 I'm still too kind!
[ Fortress under attack, current durability 387/401! ]
[ S-rank talent Tycoons Armor activated, durability limit +1, current durability 387/402! ]
The talent started to take effect!
Over a hundred zombies surrounded the Blockhouse, and the system prompts kept ringing in Chen Ze's mind.
The durability limit began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.
403, 404, 405...
Whenever the durability dropped to half, Chen Ze would immediately use an emergency repair kit to restore it to full.
When exchanging for emergency repair kits, Chen Ze unexpectedly discovered that after upgrading to a level 2 Fortress, the exchange center had also added higher-level repair kits.
[ Intermediate Emergency Repair Kit ]
Exchange for 180 survival coins.
Item description: Restores 200 durability points at once.
"Oh! This is a good deal!"
Chen Ze felt that if things continued to develop this way, sooner or later, the exchange center would release items that restore a percentage of durability, and that would be truly awesome.
Time ticked by second by second. Fatty watched as Chen Ze used one repair kit after another, but their efficiency in killing zombies with crossbows was too slow. The zombies below were still a dense sea, and he became anxious.
"Brother Ze, there are too many zombies! We won't be able to finish them off even by daybreak! How about I go down there?"
As soon as Fatty stuck his butt up, Chen Ze knew exactly what kind of nonsense he was about to spout.
He interrupted him directly.
"What the hell are you rushing for? Just keep shooting. I'm stacking passives here!"
Immediately, he shared the Tycoons Armor talent with him, and Fatty was stunned after seeing it.
"Holy crap, this is too perverted!"
"Exactly, so just kill them slowly. If you're tired, have a drink of water. What's the rush?"
Chen Ze took a sip of e-rank purified water and said leisurely.
"Fine! Brother Ze, you're just a pervert. I'll never use normal human logic to think about you again."
Fatty was completely convinced this time. He finally understood why Chen Ze could keep getting server-wide announcements—this guy was cheating!
"Awoo!~~"
Accompanied by a terrifying roar, tonight's main characters officially made their appearance!
It was still the E-Class Mutant Zombie, the Brute Force Zombie!
Only this time, there were two of them.
Chen Ze was mentally prepared. Although the Blockhouse's rating hadn't increased last night, its durability had doubled. Given the system's nature, how could it possibly only increase the number of F-class zombies by a few dozen?
"Holy crap! What is that thing? Brother Ze! A BOSS is here!"
Fatty pointed at the two tall figures in the distance, his spit almost flying onto Chen Ze's face.
Chen Ze rolled his eyes at him. This guy was jumpy every single day; sooner or later, he would give him a heart attack.
"What are you yelling for! I'm not blind!"
Wang Yalan was still relatively calm and explained.
"That's an E-Class Mutant Zombie, a Brute Force Zombie! Brother Ze already killed one last night!"
Fatty gasped after hearing this.
"Damn, pervert! Too perverted!"
While they were talking, the two Brute Force Zombies had already reached the front of the Blockhouse, and the bone warhammers in their hands slammed violently into the Blockhouse.
"Boom!" "Boom!"
[ Fortress under attack, current durability 321/456 ]
[ S-rank talent Tycoons Armor activated, durability limit +8, current durability 321/464 ]
[ Fortress under attack, current durability 281/464 ]
[ S-rank talent Tycoons Armor activated, durability limit +8, current durability 281/472 ]
Two heavy blows landed, and the entire Blockhouse seemed to shake along with them.
Chen Ze, however, didn't care at all. He used an intermediate repair kit, instantly restoring the durability to full!
"Very good! That's more like it!"
It had to be said that with the addition of the two Brute Force Zombies, the speed of stacking passives had greatly increased.
In less than an hour, the 2000+ survival coins in Chen Ze's hands were bottoming out.
And the Blockhouse's durability had skyrocketed to 878 points!
If Chen Ze were to announce his durability in the regional chat channel now, 99% of people would probably curse him for having a brain problem.
As for the remaining 1%, they probably had brain problems themselves.
Looking at the time, it was just past ten in the evening, and the zombie horde was still far from ending automatically.
Chen Ze decided to sell some red jujubes first to exchange for more survival coins to stack passives.
Regional Communication Channel.
At this moment, the speed of the scrolling messages had slowed down significantly.
Brother Is Legend: "Oh, today's zombies are so weak! I've already finished killing them!"
Rogue Love Letter: "Is that so, brother? I've finished killing them too. Have you noticed that the drop rate for zombies today seems to have increased a lot? I killed over 30 zombies and got about 5 light orbs!"
Hehe, Dummy: "Yeah, same here. On average, I can get one light orb for every seven or eight zombies I kill!"
Chen Ze took a quick glance and found that quite a few people were saying the same thing. It seemed the drop rate had indeed increased today.
He seriously suspected that the system was deliberately going easy, fearing that too many survivors would die after the novice protection period ended tomorrow.
He couldn't be bothered with that much; he listed all the defective e-grade red jujubes, pricing each at 50 survival coins.
Shanghai Li Yunlong: "e-grade red jujubes are now listed, only 50 survival coins. Quantities are limited, survivors in need, grab them quickly!"
The moment the message was sent, the scrolling speed of the entire communication channel suddenly accelerated!
Old Yuan's Luo Hao: "What? Did I read that right? Only 50 survival coins? Did Big Brother Li Yunlong miss a zero?"
Little White: "I went to the Trading House to check, it really is 50 survival coins, but those e-grade red jujubes seem to be defective. You need to eat five to add one point to all attributes!"
Nongfu Spring is a Bit Sweet: "I knew it, how could it be 50 survival coins each? As expected, big shots only become big shots by eating human blood buns!"
Maruko Loves Fishing: "Hey you upstairs, do you know how to talk? 250 survival coins to add one point to all attributes—go check other attribute fruits yourself. There's nothing with the same effect that costs less than 300 survival coins! Do you know how to do math?"
Nongfu Spring is a Bit Sweet: "I don't care, I just think it's expensive, so what?"
Book Fan: "Oh damn, why are your hands so fast? I only managed to grab four and now they're gone? Big Brother, do you have any more? I'm one short!"
Clearly, those who knew the ropes were still in the majority. In just a few seconds, all 182 defective red jujubes were snapped up, and quite a few people were @ing Shanghai Li Yunlong in the group, asking if he had any more.
What surprised Chen Ze was that he clearly saw the ID of Nongfu Spring is a Bit Sweet in the purchase records, and they had bought 10 at once.
Chen Ze looked at the 9000+ survival coins that had arrived and shook his head with a wry smile.
"I am still too kind. I should have sold them for 60! No, 70!"
