55: Extract the Undead! Become the Undead?

At this moment, Chen Ming was stepping on a flying knife, traveling through the night.

After the Crisis Perception was triggered, scenes of him being attacked immediately appeared in his mind.

It was very detailed, showing attack routes and trajectories clearly, as if afraid Chen Ming couldn't dodge.

"Speaking of which, this seems to be the first time I've been entangled by flying monsters," Chen Ming muttered to himself.

What was targeting him was a flock of pitch-black crows that blended perfectly with the night.

The crows gathered together, like a huge mist, enveloping Chen Ming, attempting to swallow him whole and then peck him apart.

Chen Ming's S-Class Skill, Super Memory, which he previously thought was useless, greatly enhanced his observational abilities.

With a glance, he immediately calculated the number of crows in the flock: a full thousand.

Without exception, all were infected with the Zombie virus.

With this number, one peck per crow, wherever they went, it was no different from a meat grinder.

The reason the Zombie virus could spread so quickly was inseparable from them.

Small enough, fast enough, numerous enough.

Chen Ming had originally thought of taking this opportunity to test the SSS-grade Skill World-Ending Fireball.

But, after a moment's thought, if he used that Fireball, there would likely be nothing left but ashes, so how could he extract?

Extracting the Undead of these thousands of mutated crows was very important in Chen Ming's view, equivalent to having a thousand more eyes in the sky, allowing him to better control the overall situation.

Facing the rapidly approaching flock of crows, his mind raced, recalling an area-of-effect skill called S-Rank Poison Mist.

Without further ado, he triggered it directly.

With a wave of his hand, his five fingers spread open, and a fine green eerie mist instantly spread out.

A hundred-meter radius was covered in just the blink of an eye.

Chen Ming was also within it; since it was a skill he released himself, he wouldn't be affected.

Even if the poisonous mist entered his body through breathing and integrated into his blood, the damage to him remained zero.

In contrast, the mutated crow flock was not so lucky; their bodies stiffened immediately, and after flapping a couple of times and emitting mournful cries, they fell from the sky in large numbers, as dense as raindrops.

[Successfully killed Mutated Crow! Congratulations to the host for obtaining wood treasure box +1!]

[Successfully killed Mutated Zombie! Congratulations to the host for obtaining wood treasure box +1!]

[Successfully killed Mutated Zombie! Congratulations to the host for obtaining wood treasure box +1!]

...

The reward triggered so fast that Chen Ming couldn't even see clearly what the content was without looking closely.

For this level of combat power to provide a wood treasure box, in Chen Ming's opinion, was already quite good, and he couldn't ask for more.

He even initially doubted if these mutated crows could meet the standard for triggering the kill reward.

After all, the kill reward was calculated based on individual, not group, combat power.

After killing the last mutated crow, the poisonous mist quickly thinned and dissipated.

Chen Ming landed on a commercial building over thirty stories high, which offered an excellent field of vision.

Select All with one click! Extract! Begin harvesting!

[Extracting...]

[Extraction Successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining new Undead Servant Mutated Crow +1350!]

The next second, Undead crows rose from the corpses, scattering everywhere, some in the square, some on lampposts, some on rooftops...

Standing still, waiting for Chen Ming's command.

With a thought from Chen Ming, the flock of crows immediately spread their wings and flew into the sky.

He did not store them in the Shadow Space like he did with other Zombie and mutated beast Undead.

The SSS-grade Undead Extraction skill's function is not just extracting Undead and controlling them.

Through practical combat, Chen Ming learned that besides sharing vision with the Undead, he could also perfectly merge his consciousness into a single subject to control it.

To put it more bluntly, it was transforming himself into a member of the Undead Army and controlling it.

Between closing and opening his eyes, what Chen Ming saw and heard changed instantly.

He became one of the thousands of mutated crows.

'This perspective is quite novel.'

Looking at himself sitting cross-legged in a corner of the tall building, unmoving like a mountain, Chen Ming sighed with emotion.

It wasn't that he hadn't fantasized about becoming a bird or beast and soaring freely in the sky before.

Now that his dream was realized, he had to say, it felt pretty good.

It was completely comparable to when Chen Ming first flew on his sword, feeling very fresh.

Wandering here, looking there.

While Chen Ming was enjoying his freedom, that tingling Crisis Perception struck again!

It didn't come from the Undead, but from his own body.

His consciousness returned swiftly.

Getting up, turning around, and in the instant he raised his arms, he quickly took out a Shotgun from his storage space.

The bullets were already chambered beforehand; all Chen Ming needed to do was pull the trigger.

Bang!

After a burst of sparks, the monster emitted a piercing low growl, green blood spurted, and it was blasted onto its back, pushed back three or four meters.

What wanted to launch a sneak attack while Chen Ming's consciousness was not in his body was not a human, but a mutated spider!

Honestly, Chen Ming wasn't fond of spiders as animals, not even palm-sized tarantulas.

But...

When it came to the mutated spider in front of him, whose body alone, not counting its eight legs, was almost as big as a Golden Retriever or a Husky.

Honestly, with its face magnified, it didn't need any modification to be terrifying!

At this moment, having taken a blast from Chen Ming's Shotgun, it was a bloody mess, blood flowing continuously in streams, its ferocity intensified further.

"It's really tough. Taking a Shotgun blast head-on at this distance, and it's still acting like nothing happened."

Chen Ming pumped the Shotgun, not planning to give the mutated spider any breathing room.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Shot after shot, spraying Shotgun pellets onto the mutated spider's face.

Cracking and shattering the protective shell covering its body surface.

Immediately, he thought of a new approach, targeting the joint connections.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three shots broke one spider leg.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three more shots, breaking another spider leg.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

When the third spider leg was broken and rolled to the side, the mutated spider finally couldn't bear it, and its massive body crashed to the ground.

Before it could react, Chen Ming took a step, using the skill [S-Rank Short-Distance Teleportation], appearing in front of the mutated spider.

Raising his hand, he shoved the Shotgun in his hand forcefully into its gaping, incoming foul-smelling mouth.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Firing over a dozen shots consecutively, not feeling bad about using bullets at all, only because he had infinite bullets.

These dozen-plus Shotgun blasts exploded inside its body, and after a round of output, the mutated spider was completely blown apart and mangled.

Lying on the ground, all that was left was a pile of indistinguishable shredded meat, and thick monster blood covering the ground, emitting a strong bloody smell.

Chen Ming heavily shook the Shotgun in his hand, cleaning off the blood and spider saliva stuck to it.

"It seems that even ordinary weapons, as long as used properly, can still kill these guys."

Not relaxing his vigilance, the battle wasn't over yet.

Chen Ming saw very clearly that deep within the door leading to the rooftop, pairs of eyes flashing with fierce light were staring intently at him!
