Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 28
Chapter 28: Zombie Attack
“Alloy weapons?”
Chen Ye truthfully replied, “Those things are heavy and take up space, so I didn’t bring them.”
In such a situation, there was no need to hide some things.
“So, you brought these… toys?”
Tang Zichen furrowed her delicate brows, her pretty face serious.
“Are you treating the secret realm as a game?”
“Of course not, I just have some ideas that need testing,” Chen Ye explained.
“With my poor talent, even if I brought alloy weapons, they wouldn’t be of much use. Besides, we have you as the class leader, so as long as I follow you, it’s fine.”
Hearing this, Tang Zichen suddenly felt like she had encountered a scoundrel and had been tricked.
However, she maintained her composure. Given the circumstances, she surprisingly didn’t get angry.
“Then let’s clarify our roles. I’ll handle killing jumping zombie monsters, and you can take care of everything else!” Tang Zichen calmly said.
Chen Ye had no objections.
“No problem!”
Afterward, the two walked towards the small forest.
This forest wasn’t very large. With a single glance, one could see the mountain peak on the other side of the forest.
Fortunately, the two discovered a fruit tree in the forest.
“I remember on the fourth day of school, Teacher Liu mentioned that these fruits look like persimmons. They are edible, but you need to pick them and let them ripen for a few days until they turn yellow. The green ones like these now have a slight poison. Eating them directly will paralyse the central nervous system, causing stiffness in the whole body,” Tang Zichen explained, looking at the fruit tree.
Chen Ye’s eyes lit up.
Indeed, Teacher Liu had introduced many fruits in the secret realm during the fourth day of school, easily totaling over a hundred types. Most people wouldn’t be able to remember them all.
Tang Zichen remembered them so clearly. Truly deserving of being a top student, her memory was excellent.
Chen Ye suddenly felt that teaming up with Tang Zichen wasn’t a loss.
“I’ll go pick some,” he volunteered.
Since Tang Zichen had clearly defined their roles, picking fruits fell under his responsibilities.
The fruit tree wasn’t tall, so Chen Ye didn’t need to climb it. With his height advantage, he could easily pick the fruits.
Having just picked half a bag, Tang Zichen, who was observing Chen Ye, suddenly heard a sound and quickly said, “Chen Ye, stop, there’s movement!”
This girl had a high mental attribute, approaching 20 points, almost twice that of an average person. A high mental attribute meant her senses were sharper than others, and she could hear any movement.
Chen Ye was momentarily stunned, immediately stopping and moving behind Tang Zichen.
At this moment, Tang Zichen, holding throwing knives in her hands, had a vigilant expression on her pretty face, her gaze fixed on the front left.
For a big guy like Chen Ye to hide behind her…She had no objections.
After a moment, two figures appeared in Chen Ye’s line of sight.
Seeing this, Chen Ye felt even more that teaming up with Tang Zichen was excellent.
This girl’s vigilance was very suitable for the dangerous environment of the secret realm.
…
Suddenly arriving in this place were two young people.
They should be new students of the same year as Tang Zichen and Chen Ye.
However, these two were foreigners, one with pitch-black skin and the other with blond hair and blue eyes, Chen Ye’s mind stirred.
Encountering foreigners here indicated that the teleportation locations to enter the secret realm were too random, absolutely chaotic teleportation.
It was unclear how large the first secret realm was. At this moment, Chen Ye and Tang Zichen hid behind a large tree.
The thick tree trunk, along with some mistletoe plants next to it, effectively blocked the view of the two.
At least, the two foreigners didn’t notice Chen Ye and Tang Zichen.
Soon, the black guy noticed the fruit tree and immediately babbled something to his companion.
Chen Ye’s English wasn’t very good, coupled with the fast speech of the black guy, he couldn’t understand a single word…
Not understanding was fine, he just needed to watch the show.
The black guy picked a green fruit and stuffed it into his mouth without a word, chewing vigorously.
Sure enough, there was a reason why there were fewer people in foreign countries.
Chen Ye suspected that this guy might be lacking something in his brain to dare to eat it directly…
The black guy quickly finished three or four fruits, and he even gave a thumbs-up to his companion.
The meaning was that these things were edible, and the taste was not bad.
His white companion, on the other hand, was much more cautious. He didn’t act rashly and only observed the reaction of his companion.
After a while, the black guy, who had eaten three or four fruits, suddenly showed an uncomfortable expression on his dark face.
Seeing his appearance, it was clear that he was poisoned.
The black guy immediately threw away the fruit in his hand, half-kneeling on the ground, putting one hand into his mouth, forcibly pressing his tongue, trying to induce vomiting and expel the fruit he had eaten.
His companion rushed over to help, patting his back.
The two struggled for a long time.
The black guy finally vomited out some fruit pulp.
At the same time, he also spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.
It seemed that he had scratched his throat.
Even so, the black guy still looked uncomfortable, lying on the ground unable to get up.
Seeing this, Chen Ye thought about throwing away the fruits he had just picked…
Just then, a cold wind blew and all four people present could feel the chill.
Tang Zichen’s face changed suddenly. She quickly pulled Chen Ye down and used her delicate fingers to quietly point to the right, signalling Chen Ye.
Chen Ye followed her finger and saw a dark figure in the distance on the right, leaping towards them.
It was a ghastly monster, dressed in a tattered official gown from the Qing Dynasty.
A zombie!!
Chen Ye was slightly surprised.
Witnessing the terrifying appearance of a zombie up close, it was indeed very oppressive.
He suddenly understood why the survival rate in the secret realm was so low.
Not everyone had the courage to face such terrifying creatures!
Moreover, Chen Ye realized that the sudden appearance of the zombie was likely due to the black guy having just vomited blood.
Only he knew that zombies could smell the breath of the living, and their sense of smell towards human blood was even more sensitive.
Like sharks in the sea, they could smell the bloody scent of their prey even from several kilometers away.
So, in normal circumstances, it was not recommended for girls to go swimming when they were on their period…
Thinking of this, Chen Ye suddenly realized a problem.
When the girl next to him had her period, would it also attract zombies?
…
The zombie leaped forward at a fast pace.
Moreover, it emitted a low, hoarse roar from its mouth.
As the zombie approached, the two foreigners finally noticed it.
“Oh my gosh! Shit…”
The black guy was completely scared, yelling and scrambling backward.
Unfortunately, due to being poisoned, he was not very agile. Besides causing dirt to fly around on the ground, his body didn’t move much.
His companion quickly picked up a weapon and faced the zombie.
Just as Chen Ye thought he was about to witness a showdown between the foreigners and the zombie.
The white guy suddenly turned around and ran leaving his companion in the original spot…
Chen Ye couldn’t help but exclaim, “This guy!”
