Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 33
Chapter 33: Sinister Plan
In the blink of an eye another four days passed.
Half of the 20-day deadline for this secret realm had already elapsed.
During these four days, Chen Ye and Tang Zichen only encountered one zombie.
This indicates that zombies prefer to hide in mountains and forests, rather than near rivers…
In the morning, Chen Ye and Tang Zichen, having finished breakfast (fish), gathered together to discuss their strategy.
“Today is already the 11th day. In the past 10 days, we’ve only killed 8 jumping zombie monsters, including that black guy we encountered on the first day…” Chen Ye said.
Actually for an ordinary team, this achievement would be considered excellent. However, both Chen Ye and Tang Zichen were somewhat dissatisfied, especially Chen Ye, who was very dissatisfied.
Only killing 8 zombies, even if each one gives a full 6 points of potential, would only amount to 48 points in total. After splitting it with Tang Zichen, each person would only have 24 points.
Not enough to even fill the gaps between his teeth. Even if he casually exercised for two days, he would gain more attribute points.
Although for the past ten days, it was Tang Zichen who killed the zombies, and Chen Ye played the role of a freeloader, getting potential points without doing much…
“Squad leader, I think we need to change our strategy.”
Chen Ye said, “Continuing with this luck-based approach to finding jumping zombies, I’m afraid that by the time the deadline arrives, we won’t have killed many.”
Tang Zichen, hearing this, curiously asked, “Didn’t you try to lure the jumping zombies with fresh blood last time? Do you have any other ideas?”
On the third night, Chen Ye had tried cutting himself and bleeding to attract zombies. Unfortunately, this plan didn’t work.
Chen Ye speculated that it was probably because there was too much blood in the secret realm, with people dying almost every day since it opened.
“In fact, I do have another idea…”
Chen Ye hesitated for a moment and said, “However, this plan may be harmful to others and…”
Tang Zichen frowned upon hearing this, seeming to have figured out something. She then asked, “Are you trying to say that you want to capture other people, let the jumping zombies bite them, turn them all into monsters, and then kill them one by one, using this method to gain a large number of potential points?”
Chen Ye was stunned for a moment. Soon after, he understood that someone must have done this before. Otherwise, Tang Zichen wouldn’t have guessed his intentions just by saying it may harm others.
“Has someone done this before?”
“Yes!”
“What happened to that person later?”
“Not good at all. He and his family became pariahs, and he was eventually tortured to death by enemies. The country compensated heavily for the losses. As for him, he was publicly executed!”
Chen Ye: “…”
This result was indeed quite tragic!
“At that time, this matter caused a huge uproar because many new students from the same year suffered severe casualties.”
After hearing this, Chen Ye was slightly stunned.
He had initially thought of specifically targeting foreigners and not harming his compatriots. Unexpectedly, someone had already done it, and the consequences were so dire.
Recalling carefully, the risks of this plan were indeed very high. Although Chen Ye was confident that even if zombies evolved once, he could still control them.
However, if discovered and exposed, his fate would likely be similar to that person’s.
By then, top experts from around the world would exert pressure. Despite being a large country, Xia Country would not withstand such pressure.
His father, Chairman Chen, would definitely not be able to protect him!
If it were three years later, Chen Ye might have the confidence to fight his way out of such a situation.
But now, with his current strength and facing such a scenario, he could only face his death.
The consequences were indeed too severe. For the sake of potential points from just one secret realm, taking such a huge risk was definitely not worth it!
“I seem to remember that there is no information about this incident on the internet, and the contents of the secret realm are not allowed to be transmitted to the internet…”
Chen Ye asked the girl, “So, how do you know about these things?”
“Liu Laoshi told me.”
Tang Zichen’s tone was calm.
“He thought I had the ability to execute such a plan, so he told me this information in advance to prevent me from making mistakes.”
“That plan has now become a recognized taboo worldwide, and no one dares to touch it.”
After hearing this, Chen Ye felt helpless.
Since the previous plan had too many risks and couldn’t be executed, he didn’t know how to find a large number of zombies.
Those zombie-themed movies and TV series only mentioned many weaknesses of zombies but didn’t explain how to attract a large number of zombies!
Although some zombies can be lured under specific conditions.
Such as certain music or direct blood relatives…
But these types of zombies are rare, and they don’t have much reference value in the secret realm.
Without a large number of zombies to gain potential points, for Chen Ye, this trip was almost in vain.
…
At the same time, in a forest several hundred metres away from Chen Ye and Tang Zichen, a group of over a hundred people had gathered.
These people had different skin colours, seeming to come from different countries.
However, their goal was the same!
To assassinate Tang Zichen!!
