Chapter 108 Raising Gu? Will a Level 5 General-level Zombie Be Born?

Su Ze's meaningful words made the atmosphere in the Dormitory instantly turn a bit strange.

Jiang Yuwan's body stiffened.

On that pretty face, which usually wore a cold expression, a rare faint blush appeared and quickly spread to the tips of her ears.

"Oh? campus belle Jiang, what kind of wound is it?"

Su Meier, as if she had discovered a new world, scanned back and forth between Su Ze and Jiang Yuwan with seductive eyes, laughing so hard she trembled.

"Could it be some kind of unmentionable wound? Why don't you let big sister take a look for you?"

"Sister Yuwan, are you hurt?" Liu Qiaofei's voice of pure concern immediately rang out.

She leaned in, her large eyes full of worry. "Where? Is it serious?"

Yao Qingya also cast a gentle and concerned gaze.

An Lan remained like an outsider, standing in the corner expressionless, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Qiao Yunge, on the other hand, strode over, pinched her chin, and sized Jiang Yuwan up from head to toe.

Then she reached a blunt conclusion: "Doesn't look like it. Your arms and legs are fine; running eight hundred meters would definitely be no problem."

Jiang Yuwan was both embarrassed and annoyed. She pushed away Qiao Yunge, who had gotten too close, forced a stern face, and avoided everyone's gaze.

"It's nothing. I just accidentally scratched it earlier, and it's already healed."

Her explanation, which clearly tried to cover things up, made Su Meier laugh so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

Yao Qingya saw that she didn't want to say more and considerately changed the subject. "As long as you're okay. Everyone must be hungry; I'll go cook something to eat."

"I'll help!" Qiao Yunge immediately volunteered and followed her.

...

After a simple dinner, the atmosphere in the Dormitory finally eased up again.

However, this peace did not last long.

[Ding! Midnight has arrived!]

[Novice Period Night Four, Zombie Attack!]

The cold system notification rang out punctually in every survivor's mind!

In an instant.

At both ends of the corridors on every floor of the massive Dormitory building, the hard walls seemed to turn into melting candle wax, and thick, ink-black mist began to gurgle out!

The thick mist billowed, quickly enveloping the entire corridor.

"Roar—!"

Zombies with rotting skin and various forms roared.

They slowly emerged from the endless black mist, densely packed.

At the same time, within the Jinghai University campus.

All the zombies that were originally in a dormant state snapped their eyes open, and crimson light connected into a single sheet in the darkness...

Countless roars resounded throughout the campus.

At this very moment, in Su Ze's mind, three notification sounds unique to him rang out in succession.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining today's free attribute points +2!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining today's intelligence *3!]

[Ding, congratulations to the Dormitory for obtaining today's refreshed supplies...]

Su Ze's expression was calm. He didn't use those two free attribute points immediately, choosing instead to continue saving them.

His gaze fell upon the newly refreshed supplies.

It was a blueprint glowing with a blue aura.

[Hunting Trap · Blueprint]

[Quality: Rare]

[Level: Lv.2]

[Power: 30]

[Effect: Set an inconspicuous trap that deals damage to a single target that steps into it and applies a 'Restrained' effect. Especially effective against zombies that don't feel pain and don't know how to escape.]

[Deployment Requirements: Wood material *50, Iron Material *30, poisonous spider silk *1]

[Description: An excellent hunter is always skilled at utilizing the environment.]

poisonous spider silk?

Su Ze frowned.

He had never seen this material, and it wasn't in his backpack.

He directly shared the blueprint's information with Jiang Yuwan.

"Look for this material. If you have it, give it to me; if not, keep an eye out to purchase it tomorrow."

"Okay," Jiang Yuwan replied coldly and immediately went to flip through the registration ledger.

Su Ze thought no more of it and turned to check the three pieces of intelligence refreshed today.

[intelligence 1: When the density of zombies in a closed space reaches a critical threshold, they will enter a mutual devouring mode, leveling up by consuming their own kind. During the novice protection period, a maximum of a Lv.5 General-class Zombie can be born!]

[(Note: Zombies that evolve through devouring have a certain probability of undergoing mutation, becoming Mutants with even more terrifying strength!)]

Seeing this piece of intelligence, the Teaching Building immediately came to Su Ze's mind.

In order to trap and kill Li Xunming and those other five idiots, he had lured tens of thousands of zombies from the open space near the Teaching Building into that building.

When he left, the zombies in the building were already so numerous that he could only walk by stepping on their shoulders.

That kind of density had definitely met the conditions for mutual devouring.

Perhaps right now, a gluttonous feast exclusive to zombies was already beginning to play out in the Teaching Building.

Su Ze's eyebrows twitched slightly. He just wondered how strong the zombie produced by this "Gu-raising" would eventually be.

He then looked at the second piece of intelligence.

[intelligence 2: Monster Bestiary]

[Monster: Common Type · General-Class · Zombie]

[Race: Corpse Clan]

[Level: Lv.5]

[health: 20]

[Strength: 20]

[intelligence: 3]

[Stamina: ∞ (Infinite)]

[spirit: 3]

[speed: 20]

[Talent: Elementary Command (Can convey simple instructions to low-level zombies)]

[Skill: Zombie King's Roar (Emits a roar that deals a mental shock to enemies within range, with a chance to cause a 1-second stun effect)]

[Description: The king among the corpse horde, possessing simple intelligence and the ability to command low-level zombies. Its claws are enough to tear through steel plates.]

Good grief!

He was just thinking about this question, and here it was.

Su Ze raised an eyebrow.

He had to admit, these attributes were quite luxurious.

Ignoring the infinite Stamina, just the base attributes like health, strength, and speed added up to 60 points!

For other players at this stage, this was an absolute crushing existence, an invincible nightmare, a terrifying entity whose birth must be prevented at all costs!

But... to him, it seemed to be just so-so.

Su Ze glanced at his own attribute panel; his basic combat power was already as high as 101.

If he activated Qiao Yunge's 'Burst' Bond, doubling all attributes...

202!!

Even if this Lv.5 General-class Zombie mutated, its strength couldn't possibly double several times over, right?

Thinking of this, Su Ze didn't feel any pressure at all; instead, a strong sense of anticipation arose.

Risk often coexists with reward.

The things dropped by a BOSS "raised" like this surely wouldn't be bad.

He just wondered what kind of good things would drop from killing this Lv.5 zombie.

After all, the highest-level zombies he had killed so far were the Lv.2 Swift Type and Brute Force Type, and he still didn't know the use for the [zombie claws] they dropped.

"If only I could get that woman Li Xinran's Bond first..."

This thought flashed through Su Ze's mind.

The 'Gold Burst' Bond increased currency acquisition by 50% and could also increase the drop rate of other items.

If he killed a General-class Zombie with this Bond, the gains...

He shook his head, temporarily suppressing the thought.

Li Xinran was a wild and unyielding woman; making her submit wouldn't happen overnight.

And there were no extra beds in the Dormitory right now.

No rush.

He focused his attention on the final piece of intelligence.

When he saw the content of intelligence 3, his breathing hitched for a moment.

[intelligence 3: In the self-study room on the fourth floor of the library, on the bookshelf in the southeast corner, in the sixteenth book from left to right on the third row titled "One Piece," there is a tattered Treasure Map Fragment tucked inside.]

The third Treasure Map Fragment!

The corners of Su Ze's mouth curled up slightly.

He already had two fragments in his hand; as long as he found two more, he could piece together a complete treasure map!

Something that could be specifically listed by the system as a "treasure map" and required four pieces to activate...

It might really hide some great treasure!
