10: Giant zombies appear

Qin Shi Lei peered out through the crack in the door.

Under the dim streetlights, a few zombies roared a few times before continuing to wander aimlessly.

The roar just now came from the northeast direction.

Due to the angle, he couldn't see what was happening.

The zombies hadn't moved towards the northeast, so the situation wasn't too bad yet.

Qin Shi Lei climbed up to the small attic of the convenience store and sat down cross-legged.

He held a crystal in each hand and began to absorb them.

Over an hour later.

All the crystals in his hands were absorbed.

He opened his attribute panel:

Name: Qin Shi Lei

Level: Black Iron Four Star

Experience: 25 / 50

Cultivation Method: None

He had leveled up two levels and gained an additional 25 experience points.

Qin Shi Lei felt the muscles on his body; they were tight and full of power.

He found a 50kg grip strength trainer in the convenience store, and with a gentle squeeze, his hands came together.

He casually did twenty repetitions, without a gasp or a flushed face, feeling no strain at all.

He had tried a 30kg one before and found it very difficult after two or three repetitions.

Qin Shi Lei felt his strength had at least doubled compared to an hour ago.

If it weren't nighttime, he would definitely go out and practice with those zombies.

He opened the trading system and saw that the shelves were empty again.

After restocking the shelves, Qin Shi Lei climbed into the attic and went to sleep.

The next day, Qin Shi Lei was awakened by a continuous series of roars.

This time, the sound came from the east, feeling a bit further from the dormitories here.

He grabbed his Seven Star Sword, went to the glass door, and peered out through the crack.

There were twenty to thirty zombies wandering outside.

Yesterday, they had clearly lured all the zombies to the fifth floor, so he didn't know if these zombies had come down from the dormitory building or had wandered over from somewhere else.

After breakfast, he would need to clear out these zombies to prevent them from cutting off his escape route.

He opened the trading system; the five shelves were already empty.

He quickly restocked the goods.

He turned and entered the kitchen, preparing to make some lean pork and century egg porridge for breakfast.

While the porridge was simmering, Qin Shi Lei also prepared to refresh the attributes of the spatial ring in his hand.

A new day brought three more opportunities for fixed attribute refreshes.

Name: Spatial Ring

Quality: Inferior

Attribute: Contains All Things (Fake)

Description: Even a casual backpack can hold more than this inferior ring. Who knows which idiot used precious Void Stones to refine such a useless item.

"Do you want to refresh the attributes?"

"Refresh."

Today's first refresh got off to a good start.

It brought one blue, one green, and one red.

Capacity Doubled (Blue): The capacity of the spatial ring is doubled.

0.1 cubic meter doubled is only 0.2 cubic meters. Is that useful?

Darling of the Void (Green): As a darling of the void, invisibility is a basic operation.

Why make a tiny spatial ring invisible? Are you afraid someone will steal it?

If the refresh just now had been applied to himself, would this attribute appear, and would its color turn purple?

Devour (Red): By devouring a spatial ring, it undergoes reorganization and refinement, randomly increasing its capacity. (Friendly reminder: Please empty the spatial ring before devouring.)

Qin Shi Lei unhesitatingly chose the Devour attribute.

He pulled out two spatial rings from his pocket; these were taken from Xu Tiancheng and his wife.

After emptying their contents, he brought them close to his own ring.

With a flash of red light, the two rings merged into one.

It was still dull black.

Inferior Spatial Ring: Capacity 0.11 cubic meters.

Qin Shi Lei almost spat out a mouthful of hot blood.

He originally had two 0.1 cubic meter rings, which could hold a total of 0.2 cubic meters of items.

Through devouring, it had only randomly added 0.01 cubic meters of capacity.

"System, you're still mocking others as idiots. Aren't you even more useless than an idiot, devouring a spatial ring and only increasing the capacity by 0.01 cubic meters?"

Qin Shi Lei scorned his system in his heart.

After complaining, Qin Shi Lei still unhesitatingly devoured the remaining spatial ring.

Normal Spatial Ring: Capacity 1.1 cubic meters.

Nice!

The capacity was exactly ten times the original.

A capacity of one cubic meter might not seem like much, but when filled with items, it's enough for a person to live for a long time.

Chocolates, bread, ham sausages, mineral water, and other items were one by one placed into the spatial ring by Qin Shi Lei.

Looking at the fully packed ring, Qin Shi Lei felt much more at ease.

He still had two fixed refresh chances left, which he planned to save for now.

While drinking his century egg and lean pork porridge, he browsed the regional channel.

He wanted to understand the situation outside through the chat messages.

"A beautiful day starts with killing zombies. This is the twenty-fifth zombie. Keep it up!"

"My dog ate some zombie meat. What should I do now? Waiting online, it's urgent."

"Hungry! Who can give me something to eat? I'll sell my life to him."

"I'm from Ancheng University. Did you hear a huge roar last night?"

"I heard it. I was woken up by it this morning too."

"That's a three-meter-tall Giant Zombie, leading a bunch of his minions to the Five Dormitory Building."

"I saw it too. It's incredibly ferocious. It punched a dormitory door to smithereens and then ate the male student inside alive."

Many people then shared their experiences of that zombie.

It had astonishing strength and brought thirty to forty minions with it.

Its sense of smell and hearing must be very keen; even if you hide in the dormitory, it will find and eat you.

It also wanders around when it has nothing to do.

Because such a ferocious zombie appeared,

Survivors at Ancheng University began to call for friends and prepare to form teams to escape through the chat channel.

"I'm Du Feiyu, the president of the Martial Arts Club, seeking reliable teammates."

"I'm Liu Yuanliang, the student council president. I hope to lead everyone to live well together."

"I'm Zhong Renhe, the president of the Taekwondo Club. I hope the Taekwondo club members can unite."

Regarding that Giant Zombie, Qin Shi Lei didn't know if he could defeat it in his One-Punch Man state.

Such a mutated zombie was very likely to drop a treasure chest.

If he could get another skill book, it would be awesome.

Although ' Gou' (to live cautiously/hide) was the way to go, with zombies everywhere on Blue Star, how long could one simply hide?

Only by becoming stronger could he survive better.

Of course, Qin Shi Lei also cherished his life. If things became impossible, he would definitely run faster than anyone else.

With a decision made in his heart, Qin Shi Lei, carrying his Seven Star Sword, opened the glass door.

The first thing that came into view was Xu Tiancheng and his wife, who had already turned into zombies.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, they both turned to look.

"To free you, let me kill you one more time."

Feeling his strength greatly increased, Qin Shi Lei charged directly forward.

With a lunge and a direct thrust, the Seven Star Sword struck Xu Tiancheng's throat, coming straight out of his neck.

The latter collapsed weakly to the ground.

He sidestepped AYu's pounce and then, with a sweeping motion, cut off half of her neck.

The sound of the two zombies falling to the ground immediately attracted the surrounding wandering zombies.

"Hoo hoo!"

They roared and surrounded him.
