7: Chapter 7: Making a fortune!

After losing the Bone-Armored Zombie King, its absolute core, the originally aggressive zombie horde was instantly left without a leader.

They became headless flies wandering solely by instinct.

Lu Yuan sneered and pressed down hard on the firing button of his secondary weapon with his right hand.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss—

The dark red metal whip of fire swept ruthlessly across the highway once again.

Without that monstrous Bone-Armored defense, these ordinary zombies were as fragile as paper targets before a firing rate of five hundred rounds per second, being harvested in droves like leaves swept away by an autumn wind.

In his mind, the system's reward notification sounds merged into an almost continuous long tone.

"Ding! Successfully killed an ordinary zombie, EXP + 5."

"Ding! Successfully killed an ordinary zombie, EXP + 5."

"Ding! Successfully killed a mutant zombie, EXP + 10."

"Ding! Obtained loot: Primary Armor Modification Blueprint x1."

"Ding! Obtained loot: Iron Block x1."

After just over ten minutes.

As far as the eye could see, there was not a single zombie left standing.

The originally grayish-white highway had been completely stained dark red, the ground covered in incomplete, charred zombie limbs.

During the earlier baptism of fire and the chaotic reverse-driving battle, the tank's massive tracks had even accidentally crushed three supply crates emitting a green glow.

This wave could truly be called making a killing!

Lu Yuan exhaled a long breath of stale air and impatiently opened his personal attribute panel.

[Name: Lu Yuan]

[Gender: Male]

[Level: 10 (19,000 / 51,200)]

[HP: 100% (Full Health)]

[Mental Energy: 100% (Extremely Excited)]

[Hunger: 50 / 100]

[Thirst: 25 / 100]

[Strength: 55] (Baseline for a normal adult male is 10)

[Defense: 60]

[Agility: 50]

[Driving: 80]

Looking at the data on the panel, Lu Yuan couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling the terrifying strength within his body that felt like it could kill a cow with a single punch.

The EXP required for leveling up increases exponentially.

Starting from Level 2, it required two hundred, then four hundred, eight hundred, sixteen hundred...

But those ten thousand zombies from just now, eighty percent of which were ordinary zombies, contributed a full forty thousand EXP.

Twenty percent were mutant elites, contributing twenty thousand EXP.

Plus the Bone-Armored Zombie King's exaggerated ten thousand points of first-kill EXP.

A full seventy thousand EXP was credited, forcefully pushing his level straight to a terrifying Level 10, like riding a rocket!

Lu Yuan wiped the sweat off his forehead caused by the intense tension and casually took out a bottle of purified water from his system backpack.

Gulp, gulp.

Most of the cool purified water poured down his throat, and his thirst level instantly recovered.

"Refreshing!"

Lu Yuan wiped his mouth with satisfaction, then cast his gaze toward the already overflowing supply inventory.

The screen full of supply glows was enough to blind someone.

Just the various types of modification blueprints alone totaled over a dozen.

Suddenly, his gaze was fixated on a blueprint in the corner emitting a rich green glow.

[Light Motorcycle Modification Blueprint Type II]

[Quality: Green Rare]

[Attributes: Significantly strengthens motorcycle chassis stability, installs all-terrain off-road tires and primary bulletproof plating.]

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up.

Blueprints are also graded. Currently, the basic blueprints that occasionally appear on the market are all white, normal quality. This green, Tier 2 blueprint is definitely a priceless artifact at this stage.

He didn't hesitate, immediately clicking open his friend list to find "Zhuifeng de Lang".

He initiated a trade directly.

[Sent item: Light Motorcycle Modification Blueprint Type II x1, Gasoline x10 Liters.]

The other side accepted the trade almost instantly.

The next second, the private chat interface was instantly flooded with exclamation marks from the other party.

"Holy shit!!!"

"Green blueprint?! Tier 2?!"

"Big Boss, did you send the wrong thing! No one has even seen this kind of god-tier blueprint at this stage!"

"Sob sob sob... Big Boss, my life belongs to you from now on!"

"If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"

Looking at the other party's incoherent, excited messages, Lu Yuan replied calmly.

"This green blueprint is what you deserve."

"In the future, if there are any weapon-type blueprints, save them for me first; I will buy them for a high price."

Closing the private chat box, Lu Yuan casually opened the regional public channel.

At this moment, in the public channel, countless players were still trembling and praying frantically because of the oppressive feeling of the zombie horde.

Lu Yuan typed a line and sent it.

"Brothers, the zombie horde ahead has been resolved."

After sending this sentence, he closed the chat screen directly and didn't say another word.

Keeping his achievements and fame hidden.

But he could imagine what kind of Level 12 earthquake this light sentence would cause in the regional channel.

Ignoring the external clamor, Lu Yuan began to process the low-level supplies in his backpack that he didn't need.

He opened the exchange and listed the large amount of excess gasoline he had captured.

[Sell: Gasoline 2 Liters]

[Requirement: Iron Block x8, or Circuit Board x4]

This price was quite generous; compared to those black-hearted merchants on the exchange who were taking advantage of the chaos, the price was only eighty percent of theirs!

He wasn't short on supplies, but he couldn't just give them away for free; what he wanted was quick monetization and rapid leveling up.

Immediately afterward, he listed the pile of miscellaneous car modification blueprints.

These were real hard currency, so the price naturally couldn't be cheap.

[Sell: Primary Car Modification Blueprint x1]

[Requirement: Iron Block x100, Circuit Board x20, Wood x50]

After handling all these miscellaneous items, Lu Yuan took a deep breath and cast his gaze solemnly toward the last three slots at the bottom of his backpack.

Those were three top-tier trophies emitting dazzling light.

[Intermediate Weapon Modification Blueprint x1]

[Tank Exclusive Modification Blueprint x1]

[Epic: Space Folding Bedroom Blueprint (5 square meters) x1]

Looking at the description of that last blueprint, Lu Yuan's heartbeat involuntarily sped up.

It was only five square meters, very small, and even turning around would be difficult.

But it was enough to fit a soft single bed inside, allowing him to have an absolutely safe private shelter on this dangerous wasteland highway where he could close his eyes and sleep in peace!
