Choosing a C-Class Hero: Three Years of Ridicule Across the Internet - Chapter 60
Chapter 60: Trouble for President Chen?
The monster in the picture is somewhat similar to the jumping zombies in the first secret realm, it’s also a humanoid monster.
It wears a tattered suit with large blood stains on it, the skin on its face almost completely rotten, horrifying, its eyes a greyish-white colour, almost no pupils visible. The hair is messy, with black blood stains still remaining at the corners of its mouth.
At the first sight of this monster, Chen Ye immediately recognized it!
This kind of monster is a classic screen monster on Earth, appearing in many film and television works, and has even formed a unique culture. Its global popularity is extremely high.
It is a zombie!
(TL/N: The Jumping ‘Zombies’ depicted is a Chinese version while this one is the internationally recognized ‘Zombie’)
After confirming that the monster in the picture is a zombie, Chen Ye became somewhat puzzled. According to popular belief, the difficulty in the secret realms increases.
But zombies, something even brave ordinary people can kill, how can they be compared to stiff monsters?
Why are the monsters in the first secret realm jumping zombies, but in the second secret realm, they become even weaker zombies? Is the order a bit wrong?
Are there issues with the zombies in the second secret realm?
“At present, what can be confirmed is that these monsters are transformed from humans infected with a terrifying toxin. Their strength, speed, and way of movement are almost identical to humans.”
Mr. Liu’s voice sounded, “And, this terrifying toxin affects their brains, making them completely irrational, only having a strong desire for living people. Based on these behaviours, the official named these ‘Monsters Zombies’! Meaning, mindless walking corpses.”
Regarding the official naming this time, Chen Ye silently praised in his heart.
Finally, they got it right once.
The students were all listening attentively in class. Later, Mr. Liu operated the computer and found a video.
“Everyone pay attention to this video, it’s the process of zombies attacking humans.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Liu clicked play. In the video, a female zombie immediately started moving.
She opened her mouth wide, emitting inhuman low growls incessantly, sprinting towards the cameraman.
However, the cameraman obviously had some skills, wielding a baseball bat, and with one swing, he directly smashed the female zombie’s forehead. Blood splattered everywhere.
Without a head, the female zombie also fell straight to the ground.
The video ended here. After watching the video, many students were stunned.
The monster called a zombie is so weak!
Mr. Liu saw this and smiled, asking, “Do you all think that zombies are much weaker compared to the jumping stiff monsters in the first secret realm? Why would such weak monsters appear in the second secret realm?”
Seeing many students nodding, Mr. Liu pulled out another video.
“Then, take a look at this video.”
After saying that, he played it directly. In the video, there were two white young men standing on the rooftop of a dilapidated building, shooting at the zombies below.
These zombies had no rationality, naturally wouldn’t find stairs, and crowded under the building, unable to reach the top, aiming their rage at the people above.
In the distance, more and more zombies, hearing the gunfire, ran over.
The two white young men stood on the rooftop out of reach of the zombies, shooting relentlessly, it seemed like playing a game with potential points, they were so happy, occasionally bursting into laughter.
But soon, the situation started to get out of hand…
As more and more zombies gathered, the later zombies actually began climbing up using the bodies of their companions.
Gradually, it formed the terrifying phenomenon of zombie “pyramid stacking”.
These zombies were extremely crazy, in order to eat the two living people on the rooftop, they truly did not hesitate at all.
Even though many zombies were killed or crushed into pulp during the pyramid stacking process, they still showed no signs of stopping.
Countless zombies surrounded the building, piling up higher and higher, swiftly climbing towards the rooftop.
Seeing this extremely shocking scene, the two white young men on the rooftop finally panicked.
They started to increase their attack speed.
Bang, bang, bang…
The sound of gunfire was incessant.
But still unable to stop the zombies from relentlessly sacrificing themselves as stepping stones for their companions.
A few minutes later, the zombies finally rushed to the rooftop. Then, the two white young men were completely engulfed and torn apart.
How arrogant they were before, now they died miserably…
The video also ended. The video was shot from another taller building, the angle was chosen very well, capturing this terrifying and shocking scene clearly. Students could even see the despair in the eyes of the two white young men when the zombies rushed to the rooftop.
After watching the video, the classroom fell into a strange silence. All the students were shocked by the content of the video just now.
The endless, densely packed army of zombies, made people’s scalps tingle, feeling uncomfortable all over.
Even Chen Ye frowned, although he is very strong now, with one punch, he can turn zombies into pulp. But, facing the endless army of thousands, even he, once deeply surrounded, would be in danger.
Zombies don’t care whether you can kill them or not. They charge forward fearlessly.
Moreover, the zombies in the second secret realm are not the slow-moving zombies, but run as fast as sprinters.
No matter how strong Chen Ye is, there will always be times when he exhausts his strength.
Once he accidentally gets injured by a zombie and is infected with the zombie toxin, it’s over!
His current defence is still unable to be truly invincible. Additionally, Chen Ye vaguely felt that the scene of the zombies stacking pyramids in the video just now seemed familiar.
…
“Now, does anyone still think that the monsters in the second secret realm are easy to kill?”
Mr. Liu’s face, at some point, became serious.
“In fact, in terms of danger level, among the first three secret realms, the second secret realm is the most dangerous. Because, in the second secret realm, the zombie monsters are endless, and no one knows how many of them there are exactly!”
“Moreover, these zombie monsters carry a large amount of toxins. If you are scratched by them even a little bit, then, in just 12 seconds, you will be infected and become a new zombie monster, forever trapped in the secret realm.”
Hearing this, Chen Ye was bewildered.
Infected into a new zombie in 12 seconds?
This exaggerated setting seems exactly like a certain zombie movie on Earth.
That movie is called “World War Z”, starring Hollywood actor “Brad Pitt,” released in 2013.
The zombies in it, run as fast as flying, can stack pyramids, and infect people in just 12 seconds…
All these settings are almost the same as in the second secret realm. No wonder, Chen Ye just felt that the behavior of these zombies looked familiar.
Now, he speculated that there is at least an eighty percent chance that the zombies in the second secret realm are from that movie!
If the zombies in the second secret realm really come from “World War Z,” then… it’s interesting.
Chen Ye showed no signs of panic because zombies like these have a very exaggerated weakness. They, like zombies, are very afraid of something…
…
Seeing that some students were frightened.
Mr. Liu continued, “However, risks often come with rewards. The second secret realm is also one of the secret realms where you can easily obtain a large number of potential points. After all, the monsters inside are countless. As long as you can kill enough monsters and survive, the rewards will be great!”
Many students who were confident in their own abilities were inspired by his words.
Mr. Liu continued his lecture: “The background of the second secret realm is in a deserted giant city, where there are no living people long ago, only endless zombie monsters.”
“Later, I will distribute a map of the city in the second secret realm to you. This map is explored by countless predecessors with their lives, I hope you can take it seriously. The map also marks some relatively safe defensive points for your reference.”
“Zombie monsters only have one weak point, which is the head. Destroying the central nervous system of their brains is the only way to make them completely die, attacking other parts is useless.”
“In addition, the second secret realm opens for a relatively short time, only half a day, which means you only need to endure for 12 hours in the secret realm to return safely.”
“So, you don’t need to worry about food issues this time.”
Hearing the last sentence, the students’ eyes lit up.
In the twenty days of the first secret realm, they were almost fed up, especially the food issue, which almost became a nightmare for these students!
As for why they didn’t bring compressed food into the secret realm? Hehe, an alloy weapon alone weighs at least a dozen catties!
These are the weights after those researchers tried to minimise the size of the weapons.
Otherwise, it would be even heavier.
You can’t expect an alloy weapon to be both sturdy, sharp, and lightweight, right? Truly good alloy metals like that only exist in science fiction movies.
Only a few students who chose compact weapons had the conditions to carry food…
At this time, a student couldn’t help but ask, “Teacher, the zombie toxin in the second secret realm is so powerful, what if someone gets infected at the last moment and turns into a zombie monster when they come back? Will it harm our world too?”
Hearing this question, Mr. Liu smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, most of the things in the secret realm cannot be brought back.”
“As for what you just said, if someone gets infected with the zombie virus at the last moment of returning, then, this unlucky person will be left in the secret realm.”
“The secret realm has its own set of operating rules and monitoring systems, so don’t try to play tricks, you might end up harming yourself.”
The students nodded thoughtfully at his words.
Mr. Liu looked at the time and said, “The opening time of the next secret realm is September 1st, and today is already July 22nd. You still have 40 days to prepare.”
“Let’s stop here for today’s class. The remaining content will be discussed later. After you go back, remember to study the map more, preferably directly memorise it.”
“After all, the secret realm is very dangerous, and if you need to escape in an emergency, you may not have time to flip through the map to find your way… Well, class dismissed!”
With that said, Mr. Liu left the classroom.
…
In the days that followed, everyone returned to their usual routines.
After class every day, the remaining time was spent on improving their abilities, very busy.
Only Chen Ye remained leisurely. After exercising every day, he would read books and search for information, looking for various toxin-related information because he needs to find a toxin that shows symptoms quickly after infection, but is not very severe…
In the blink of an eye.
A month passed.
One day, Chen Ye suddenly received a call from his mother.
From the phone call, he learned that his father, President Chen, seemed to have encountered some trouble.
