27: Zombies that keep getting stronger

[Do you want to start collecting the Berserker class characteristics?]

Gu Qinghan decisively chose yes; this was the moment he had been waiting for.

At this moment, he had already set off toward a nearby convenience store with a group from the cafeteria.

There were quite a few zombies on the road, but Gu Qinghan only released four skeletons to fight.

His purpose in doing this was very simple: to make the Berserker take action.

Only when the other party used their class abilities could he collect their class characteristics.

When he saw the progress bar under his talent slowly rising, Gu Qinghan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Brother, your skeletons are so strong!"

The Berserker held a nail-studded wooden club in his hand, swinging it to continuously cut zombies in half at the waist.

"They're alright. Your class's combat power seems a bit astonishing, though."

"Hehe, my class is naturally suited for this kind of war of attrition. By the way, I'm Wang Yan. What's your name?"

Wang Yan had his back to Gu Qinghan, and while indulging in reaping zombies, he didn't forget to greet Gu Qinghan.

"Li Qingshan."

Gu Qinghan said without blushing or skipping a beat. After all, when out and about, one gives themselves their own identity.

The two chatted briefly, and soon they saw the convenience store.

This convenience store was much smaller than the mini-supermarket Gu Qinghan had visited before; it was hard to imagine how it had managed to stay open in District C.

However, at this moment, this convenience store had become the hope of everyone in the cafeteria.

"Brother Qingshan, can you have your skeletons guard the entrance while we move some food back?"

Gu Qinghan naturally wasn't willing. If he did that, he wouldn't be able to collect the other party's class characteristics.

He put on a difficult expression, pointed at his four skeletons, and said: "I doubt that'll work. Making them fight constantly drains my mana. You should just stay outside and guard with me!"

As he spoke, he quietly controlled his skeletons, causing them to slow down their killing speed significantly.

Wang Yan hesitated slightly before nodding.

Subsequently, Gu Qinghan and several others rushed into the convenience store together.

At this time, the goods in the convenience store were somewhat messy, which looked like someone had been there before.

However, there was still quite a bit of food on the shelves.

The few people who came in with Gu Qinghan didn't pack things right away; instead, they directly tore open food packaging and started eating.

They were all starving, so the first thing they did upon seeing so much food was to eat their fill.

Gu Qinghan ignored them and just walked toward the back on his own.

The items on the shelves inside had almost not been touched, so Gu Qinghan loaded quite a lot into his necromantic space again.

However, his harvest this time was much smaller than the last, also to avoid attracting others' attention.

Just as Gu Qinghan was secretly loading supplies, Wang Yan suddenly shouted from outside: "Grab a bit more and then withdraw, hurry, Level 3 zombies have appeared!"

Gu Qinghan was stunned, then immediately used Vision of the Dead to view through the perspective of one of his skeletons.

He saw that among the zombies rushing over one after another, several were moving significantly faster than the others.

They should still be agile zombies, but their level seemed to have risen to Level 3.

Gu Qinghan's heart tightened; the speed at which these zombies were getting stronger was a bit exaggerated!

At this stage, some Professionals might still be Level 1, yet zombies of Level 3 had already appeared!

He canceled the effect of Vision of the Dead and saw that the other few people were all scrambling to pack things.

Gu Qinghan hardened his heart and loaded all the food and water on the shelves in front of him into the necromantic space.

Then, he grabbed a box of instant noodles he had intentionally left behind and ran toward the entrance.

When he reached the entrance, he saw Wang Yan struggling while fighting against several zombies.

Gu Qinghan looked at these zombies for a few seconds and quickly obtained their information: [Agile Zombie: Level 3] [Combat Power: 25 points]

Wang Yan's body emitted a burst of red light, and then he blew up the nearest zombie.

He waved at Gu Qinghan and the others, then took the lead and charged toward the cafeteria.

Gu Qinghan knew the situation was special, so he stopped letting his skeletons slack off and began killing those Level 3 zombies.

However, with the existence of the tyrant battle axe, the skeletons still had no pressure killing Level 3 zombies.

On the contrary, the students who had followed them out appeared extremely disheveled at this moment.

Although Professionals could see monster information, they could not see the information of other Professionals or summoned creatures.

Gu Qinghan didn't know exactly what level this group was, but judging by their performance, casualties were sooner or later.

The facts were the same as he had imagined; just as they saw the cafeteria entrance again, a Male Student suddenly let out a scream.

Immediately after, the backpack on his back was grabbed by a zombie, and he was dragged into the zombie horde along with it.

"Help!"

The Male Student shouted in terror, simultaneously releasing a wave of air, trying to repel the surrounding zombies.

But there were too many zombies, and they quickly surrounded him.

The other few students looked at each other, not knowing for a moment whether they should continue running or turn back to save him.

At this moment, Wang Yan, who had been charging in front, suddenly spoke, his voice cold: "Leave him alone, he's dead for sure! Hurry back to the cafeteria!"

Gu Qinghan raised an eyebrow. He had previously thought this guy was very easy to talk to, but he hadn't expected him to be so decisive at a critical moment.

The group ignored the screams behind them and quickly charged toward the cafeteria.

Just as they approached the cafeteria entrance, several zombies suddenly rushed out from the surroundings and pounced toward them.

Gu Qinghan's skeletons immediately met them, but he heard Wang Yan shout: "Don't, these zombies are puppets controlled by us!"

Gu Qinghan hesitated for a moment, then stopped his skeletons' attack.

He saw these zombies bypass them and directly engage in battle with the zombies behind them.

These zombies looked like they were only Level 2 agile zombies, but they were actually able to trade blows with those Level 3 zombies.

Although these zombies were quickly torn to shreds, Gu Qinghan and the others relied on this bit of time to run into the cafeteria.

When Gu Qinghan looked behind him, he was stunned to find that the few zombies that had been chasing them were suddenly attacking their own kind nearby.

Within a few minutes, those zombies were killed, and the remaining controlled zombies returned to the sides of the cafeteria entrance.

Gu Qinghan looked at the student in the cafeteria who had been keeping a straight face, his eyes filled with interest.

The other party's class was Puppeteer; it looked a bit like his own class ability.

However, Gu Qinghan felt that if the two sides fought, he would definitely be the one to win.

By this time, everyone who had gone out had entered the cafeteria, except for the guy who had been dragged into the zombie horde by the zombies.

People inside the cafeteria began to count the supplies brought back, without noticing at all that one person was missing from the team.

Suddenly, a petite Girl rushed out of the crowd, her gaze scanning the faces of those who had just gone out.

A few seconds later, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she said with a sobbing tone: "Where is my boyfriend? He went out with you just now, why did only you come back?"

Gu Qinghan didn't speak, and the others in the team lowered their heads even further.

Wang Yan stood up, a look of apology on his face: "I'm sorry, he... was dragged into the zombie horde and died."
