San Tian Liang Jiao
Chapter 56 Peerless Garlic (3)
Since Feng Bujue didn't chase after Xiao Ming, the latter slowed down after running for a while when he saw no one behind him. A few seconds later, Xiao Ming simply stopped and turned around to look into the distance. He happened to see Feng Bujue catching up with Atobe-shao ye. He thought Atobe was about to be instantly killed, but the two of them didn't even fight.
Two minutes later, the two of them were actually walking back side by side. Atobe-shao ye even waved his arm at Xiao Ming, seemingly indicating that he was fine.
Before long, the three of them returned to the street in front of the gun shop. Feng Bujue turned off the stereo and told them about the situation here, "So... after some experimentation, I've basically grasped the main characteristics of these Blood Wolf Zombies.
"Although the opening CG mentioned some, I'll go over the specifics based on the actual situation.
"First of all, they are intensely uncomfortable with the smell of garlic, like we feel when we smell tear gas. Raw garlic has a mediocre effect, but chewing it in your mouth and then exhaling the bad breath is very effective."
"Big brother, I wanted to ask earlier, you're covered in blood like this... aren't you afraid of being infected?" Xiao Ming asked, looking at Feng Bujue's blood-covered body and the two strings of garlic he wore around his neck that were also stained red.
Feng Bujue pointed to his face, which was relatively clean, "Just be careful not to get the monsters' bodily fluids in your eyes and mouth." He then pointed to his clothes and continued, "As for these... it looks exaggerated, but it's not all the monsters' blood. I spilled a lot on myself when I was pouring the blood plasma into the bucket." He then took out a plastic bag full of clean garlic from his knapsack, placed it on the ground, "These two strings on me are the last line of defense against bites. The garlic for eating is naturally stored in my knapsack. You guys should each find a bag and take some. As long as you chew on garlic cloves during combat, those monsters will basically be unable to resist."
"Um... I'll just take one. One garlic can be divided into six or seven cloves to chew on. If we don't have enough, we'll ask you for more," Xiao Ming replied.
Atobe-shao ye replied decisively, "I don't need any, thank you."
"You two don't seem to like the taste of garlic very much," Feng Bujue said earnestly, "Do you know that garlic has the effect of turning base metal into gold for plain noodles?"
"No, we don't," they answered in unison.
"Ha..." Feng Bujue exhaled bad breath maliciously at their faces with a very wretched expression.
"We're not monsters! What are you doing!"
Feng Bujue immediately became serious and said, "Then, let's continue with the characteristics of the Blood Wolf Zombies."
"Your transition is too fast..."
"Sunlight will make them sluggish." Feng Bujue continued his narration, "Their movements are as slow as a magical girl transforming. By the time she's done undressing... oh no, by the time it attacks, I can recite two tongue twisters."
"Your range of knowledge is a little too broad..."
Feng Bujue then gestured with his eyes at the corpses on the street, "Although beheading can prevent their bodies from moving, their heads will continue to live. After my testing, only destroying the back of their heads, or blowing away most of their brains with a gun, can completely kill them."
As he spoke, he took out a shotgun from his knapsack and looked at the weapon in his hand with an admiring gaze, "This Winchester I found in the gun shop is a very effective weapon. Even if you don't hit the head at close range, blasting other parts will create a big hole. It's much more powerful than a pistol."
"That's right, the gun shop!" Atobe-shao ye opened his eyes wide and said, "I almost forgot. We should loot the equipment first!"
He greeted Feng Bujue, and then rushed into the gun shop with Xiao Ming in a hurry. These two players were seriously lacking equipment. They hadn't seen a single piece of Fine equipment so far. For them, upgrading cold weapons to firearms was already a major breakthrough. It was unimaginable for others that Feng Bujue, with such a low level, would have four pieces of Fine equipment, one of which was temporarily unable to be worn and was stowed away in his bag.
Atobe-shao ye and Xiao Ming rushed into the gun shop, only to see a scene of devastation. The racks on the walls were basically empty. There were many scattered gun parts on the cabinets and floor. The door behind the counter had also been looted.
Feng Bujue followed them in and said in his calm tone, "From the setting's perspective, the gun shop would definitely be looted as soon as the virus broke out in the city. From the perspective of game difficulty, we shouldn't be given too many choices in terms of weapons."
Atobe-shao ye seemed not to have heard Feng Bujue's words at all. He excitedly picked up two pistols from the ground and put them into his knapsack, then picked up a TMP and smiled, "We've struck it rich."
Xiao Ming threw a baseball bat and a rusty iron pipe from his knapsack, also picked up two pistols and put them away, and then slung a UMP45 submachine gun over his shoulder. The expression on his face could only be described as overjoyed...
These two had the feeling of suddenly becoming rich after getting a few Common-quality firearms. To be honest, it was a bit shabby. Compared to those real professional players, these two from Hyotei could only be said to be second-rate pseudo-professional players. Their mentality and level were still very amateur.
Under Feng Bujue's reminder, the two remembered a crucial thing. They awkwardly took out the pistols they had stuffed into their knapsacks, looked at the caliber, and found the right bullets and picked up some...
When the three returned to the street, four or five more Blood Wolf Zombies were attracted here. Feng Bujue suggested that they use these monsters as live targets to practice shooting and familiarize themselves with the firearms. The two were in a flurry, and it took them a long time to figure out how to fire a gun. After successfully firing, they realized that they couldn't hit the target at all beyond ten meters. The bullets didn't know where they flew. However, after shortening the distance to about five meters and stabilizing their shooting, the success rate was higher.
After dealing with these monsters, Feng Bujue said, "Where was I before... oh, right, the next characteristic is..." He paused, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "The vampire's thirst for blood is also reflected in these Blood Wolf Zombies. They are attracted to the smell of blood, of course, it must be normal human blood that has not been infected with the virus. In this regard... I estimate that they use their sense of smell to distinguish.
"The sense of smell of these Blood Wolf Zombies is definitely not as good as pure werewolves, but it is obviously stronger than that of ordinary zombies. If a living person like me appears within a radius of fifty meters of them, they can find me without relying on sight; and normal human blood exposed to the air can be smelled by them at a distance of nearly one kilometer, and has an extremely strong attraction."
"No way? There are murder scenes everywhere in this city. They can distinguish the one bucket of human blood mixed in with these smells?" Atobe-shao ye asked, looking at the bucket full of blood.
"That's normal. One of the signs of a keen sense of smell is odor separation. For example, bloodhounds can analyze the composition of odors at the molecular level," Feng Bujue replied, "It's like you smelling a pile of shit. At most, you know it stinks, but creatures with a keen sense of smell can smell what the person who shat ate yesterday."
"I just want to know why you haven't been muted for using that wording..." Atobe-shao ye said.
"This shows that in a normal context, the word 'shit' is not considered an indecent word by the system. It's just a noun," Feng Bujue said. "According to my speculation, in this game, this thing is likely to become a topic that has to be talked about in certain specific situations." He said with a dark face, "For example... in some random scripts, players may drown in..."
"I can't hear anything... I can't hear anything..." Atobe-shao ye quickly covered his ears and repeated quickly.
Feng Bujue shrugged and didn't finish the disgusting topic, but instead said, "Since I've met you, it'll be easy. The time in this script is 2:30 PM. You should use this area as a base and grind as many monsters as possible. Anyway, the gun shop is right next door. Even if there aren't many guns left, at least there are plenty of bullets."
"I'll set off immediately to search for other people and bring them here." He looked up at the sky. "Whether I find them or not, I'll be back before sunset." He thought of something else. "Oh, right, sound also has a certain monster-attracting effect. You can turn the stereo back on after I leave."
"Wait," Xiao Ming asked, "I wanted to ask from the beginning, this..." His gaze shifted to the surrounding ice buckets, empty blood bags, stereo, etc., "How did you manage to set up this formation by yourself?"
"The general process is... Before coming to the gun shop, I went to a hospital two streets away. At the time, I wanted to go in and see if there were any props like medicine, but I accidentally discovered that human blood could attract monsters. Shortly after searching the hospital, I came here and then decided to use this as a temporary base. So I went to a supermarket nearby and got a shopping cart, slid all the way to the hospital, killed my way back in, found the blood bank, broke in, and got dozens of bags of stored blood from the freezer, loaded them into the cart, and transported them back.
"Then I moved the ice buckets from the store opposite and filled them with blood. The stereo was taken from the store opposite during the gaps between killing monsters. One reason was that sound could also attract monsters, and the other was that the frequency of monsters coming wasn't very high, so it was a bit boring to just wait..."
Feng Bujue said quickly, "In short, you can rest assured to grind monsters here. The time limit for this script is very loose, so we should take this opportunity to increase our specialization level as much as possible and earn more skill points."
After he finished explaining, he waved his sleeves, turned around and left, leaving the two "professional players" standing there dumbfounded, watching his back disappear into the distance.
