Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 44
Chapter 44: Strange Happenings on the Last Day
Chen Ye still didn’t kill the evolved zombie on the spot. Instead, he kept it and beat it every day, attracting small zombies to come and kill it!
On the one hand, it was to train his own combat abilities. On the other hand, it was naturally for the extra rewards.
Although Tang Zichen said that now people who could get the maximum reward were very, very rare.
But to ensure the extra rewards and not be snatched away by others, Chen Ye would rather kill a few more zombies.
Anyway, idle hands were the devil’s tools. It’s just that the evolved zombie was tortured miserably by him!!
A few days passed.
This so-called copper-skinned and iron-boned evolved zombie was hammered by Chen Ye until it was unrecognisable.
It had severe psychological issues, suspecting its own existence. When the last day of the deadline for the Secret Realm arrived, Chen Ye finally gave it a swift death, tossing it into the fire pit to burn it to death.
Other zombies would howl miserably before being burned to death. The evolved zombie, however, had a look of relief on its face, accepting death peacefully.
Who knew how much pain it had endured in Chen Ye’s hands to appear like this…
“Ah! Old buddy, thanks for accompanying us for so many days. It’s a bit hard to part suddenly!”
Chen Ye stood by the fire pit, looking at the burning evolved zombie, pretending to be sentimental.
The evolved zombie, with its last breath, was itching to bite him but thinking about this man’s terrifying strength, it gave up…
Moments later, the evolved zombie was finally burned to ashes.
Chen Ye found that the evolved zombie was quite resistant to burning, taking nearly half an hour to burn completely.
Unlike ordinary small zombies, which would be burned clean in just ten minutes.
This indicated that the more evolved the zombie, the less it feared fire.
Moreover, Chen Ye speculated that if this evolved zombie evolved again, it might not fear him anymore, and it might even counterattack him.
Of course, he wasn’t stupid enough to let that happen.
He scoffed at things like fighting with formidable opponents for improvement, like what those “experts” pursued. Chen Ye pursued one thing: overwhelming power!
It’s best to kill with one punch, not giving the enemy a chance to counterattack.
What he wanted was stability!
“Chen Ye, we can leave tomorrow,” Tang Zichen spoke.
Her tone carried some sentiment. Previously, in school, Teacher Liu talked about the horrors of the Secret Realm every day, all kinds of difficulties.
But when they arrived in the Secret Realm, they found it wasn’t as difficult to survive as imagined…
Except for the first day when she was tired from killing zombies, after Chen Ye gave her two peach wood swords, killing zombies became easy. Especially in the last nine days. Since Chen Ye revealed the secret, she felt like she wasn’t here to survive but to tour…
If the conditions in the Secret Realm weren’t a bit lacking, it would be a good place for tourism.
“Yeah! We can leave tomorrow,” Chen Ye echoed with emotion.
These twenty days of survival were also a different experience for him.
Tang Zichen smiled and said, “Thanks for taking care of me during this time!”
This was a self-deprecating joke, probably because they were about to leave the Secret Realm, her mood relaxed.
Originally, she promised Captain Chen to team up with Chen Ye in the Secret Realm to repay him for taking care of Chen Ye.
But unexpectedly, the results were reversed.
Chen Ye not only helped her overcome dangers but also enabled her to obtain the maximum limit rewards. And without any surprises, the extra rewards would also be theirs.
In the end, teaming up with Chen Ye was a big win for her.
If she had teamed up with someone else, she would probably have been dead by now, right?
“Class Leader, with our ‘know each other inside out’ relationship, you don’t have to be so polite with me,” Chen Ye said.
Tang Zichen smiled and suddenly said, “We still have half a day left. Shall we take a stroll?”
“Sure!” Chen Ye readily agreed.
These two guys really treated their journey in the Secret Realm as a tour.
…
Compared to their carefree attitude others were much worse off.
At this moment, there were two groups of freshmen from Wuda University, gathering together with frowns.
Three boys and one girl.
The two boys’ team consisted of Zhao Zheng and a young man named “Tao Hu”.
Ever since Zhao Zheng found out that his crush was teaming up with Chen Ye, although he didn’t hate Chen Ye, he was deeply affected and stopped thinking about romantic relationships.
Looking at the situation, the development of this kid was a bit dangerous…
These two teams had just met. Being able to meet in the Secret Realm was already considered lucky.
Basically, those who entered the Secret Realm from the same location would be teleported to different places to prevent collusion.
It seemed like these four were in a tough spot.
Having eaten wild fruits for twenty days and often not getting enough to eat, they had lost a lot of weight.
Zhao Zheng was originally thin, and now he was basically skin and bones.
And, they were all dirty, and if you got close enough to smell them, you could smell the sour odour. They hadn’t found a water source, hadn’t taken a bath for twenty days, even fairies would stink.
Fortunately, the spirits of the four were still okay.
“Zhao Zheng, how many jumping zombies have you killed?” another young man asked.
Zhao Zheng didn’t answer but instead asked, “And you guys?”
“We only killed four…”
The young man’s face looked a bit unsightly.
He also had an S-rank talent, and for him, this trip to the Secret Realm was a bit disappointing.
“Actually, the first ten days were fine. Basically, we encountered a jumping zombie every two or three days. In the later days, we couldn’t find a single jumping zombie, even if we ventured deep into the mountains and forests, we couldn’t find them, it’s really strange!”
The young man looked puzzled as he spoke.
His companion, the girl, nodded beside him, adding, “We met some foreign freshmen who also said they couldn’t find any jumping zombies, as if the jumping zombies had disappeared.”
Zhao Zheng frowned upon hearing this.
Before he could speak, Tao Hu sneered, “Do you believe this nonsense? Jumping zombies act on instinct and like to be alone. How could they gather together? Are they going to hold family meetings too? We can’t encounter jumping zombies, which means there were probably fewer jumping zombies this year…”
