Blue items were mostly armor and weapons, along with a few ability orbs.
It seemed the system intended for people to equip themselves better to deal with zombies and mutated plants and animals.
A fire-elemental green ability orb was given to An Qian.
Two strange pieces of flesh.
Corpse King's Flesh (Green): Has a fatal attraction to zombies within a hundred-meter radius, use with caution.
Corpse King's Brain Marrow (Green): Has a dispersing effect on zombies, and may also provoke covetousness in some zombies.
Qin Shilei put away these two pieces of flesh.
Overlord Spear (Green): Two meters twenty in length, incredibly tough and sharp. Can be disassembled in the middle into a short spear and a short staff.
This spear could only be given to Zhang Qiang.
Swift Boots (Green): Increase movement speed by twenty percent.
These boots were not only red, but also women's style, so they could only be given to An Qian.
Before giving them away, Qin Shilei also refreshed and fixed a floating attribute.
Floating (Green): When jumping up or falling from a height, a three-second floating state can be activated, with a one-hour cooldown.
The last green item was a healing potion.
The bronze treasure chest dropped by the Crocodile King yielded the only red item.
Blood-Boiling Banner (Red): Boosts team morale and courage, enhancing team members' physical fitness by ten percent, with a range of one hundred meters.
After opening the treasure chest, he gave the fire-elemental ability orb and ten ordinary blue ability orbs to An Qian.
After absorbing the ability orb, An Qian activated an ability called Blazing Slash.
Blazing Slash (Green): Can emit a blade of fire forward with bare hands or with a sword or saber, possessing cutting and burning effects.
After An Qian left, Qin Shilei also refreshed the attributes of his own equipment.
First, he took out the skill stone imprinted with Mirage.
[Perform attribute refresh?]
[Refresh.]
True to False (Green): The illusion created is indistinguishable from the original.
What's the difference between this and the lifelike attribute refreshed last time?
Get Stronger by Getting Hit (Red): The illusion will absorb the enemy's energy attacks and enhance its own attack power.
This illusion, which disappears after three minutes, is it really useful?
Evolution (Purple): Through learning and comprehension, it can significantly reduce the cooldown time of phantom clones and increase their duration.
This last purple attribute seemed quite good, but Qin Shilei wasn't very confident in his comprehension.
He could only summon a phantom once every forty-eight hours, and it only lasted for three minutes. Could he really comprehend anything from it?
However, in order to make the phantom a conventional trump card one day, Qin Shilei still chose the Evolution attribute.
Then he casually learned the skill Mirage.
After thinking for a moment, he calmed himself down and tried to summon the phantom in his mind.
Then an energy phantom materialized out of thin air in front of him.
Qin Shilei could designate a target for the phantom to attack freely, or he could divide his attention to control its every move.
This time, it was to test the Evolution attribute, so Qin Shilei naturally chose to control the phantom himself.
As his consciousness entered the phantom's body, he suddenly felt as if he had switched to the phantom's perspective.
After sensing for a moment, he found that the One-Punch Man attribute could also be triggered.
Qin Shilei controlled the phantom and performed sword techniques one move after another.
He carefully experienced the phantom's various senses and felt everything about its body.
Soon, three minutes had passed.
Phantom (Purple): Forms an energy phantom with eighty percent of the user's strength. The phantom possesses all of the original's skills, lasts for three minutes and ten seconds, with a forty-two-hour cooldown.
The Evolution attribute is truly excellent!
The first time he used the phantom, its duration was extended by ten seconds, and its cooldown was reduced by six hours.
Does this mean he could use the phantom skill continuously after seven uses?
Qin Shilei then took out the lightning-elemental ability orb and the Blood-Boiling Banner.
Unfortunately, he didn't refresh any good attributes, so he had to put them away again.
The next morning, Qin Shilei and the others arrived at Luyang Bridge over the Chiyuan River.
The end of the bridge had been fortified by the army with a five-meter-high defense line.
Seven or eight machine guns and three mortars were deployed on it.
Outside the defense line were wandering zombies.
"Be careful, if you can't win, run back to this defense line." The soldiers on the defense line reminded them routinely.
"Thank you, we'll be careful." Qin Shilei said thank you and slid down the rope.
Not long after crossing the defense line, several nearby zombies swarmed towards them like flies smelling meat.
Before An Qian and the others could even act, the two ranged attackers, Xie Haimei and Qin Shilei, easily dealt with those zombies.
Several waves of zombies were dealt with in the same way.
An Qian and the others were reduced to just digging out the crystal cores.
"Qin Shilei, can you two leave some zombies for us?" An Qian complained.
"Brother Qin, how about you give me a bow?" Zhang Xiaoli suddenly remembered that she seemed to have a talent for archery.
"I want one too." Chi Xing's attack range was too short, and An Qian also wanted to switch to a bow to steal kills.
"This..." Qin Shilei was reluctant to discourage the two girls, so he opened his mouth and said, "You'd better not be distracted by archery. Don't try to master too many skills."
"If you can handle shooting, why can't I?" An Qian said confidently.
Under the determined gazes of the two girls, Qin Shilei had no choice but to take out two compound bows and some arrows.
At this time, Zhang Qiang also spoke, "Captain, let's split up for now, it'll be faster to kill zombies this way."
"Alright, be careful." Qin Shilei exhorted, "Don't go too far, and call out loudly if there's any trouble."
Zhang Qiang and Xie Haimei then walked towards the street on the right.
Finally, Zhang Xiaoli's parents also chose to temporarily separate, and they also asked for two compound bows to lure monsters as they left.
"You're not allowed to attack, watch me in a moment." An Qian tried the compound bow in her hand and said with great interest.
Zhang Xiaoli also looked eager to try.
They didn't walk far when five or six zombies rushed towards them from the street ahead.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
An Qian and Zhang Xiaoli simultaneously shot the arrows on their strings.
Zhang Xiaoli's arrow hit the stomach of a zombie on the right.
An Qian's arrow hit the chest of the leftmost zombie.
"Not bad." Qin Shilei clapped his hands and praised, "Next time, aim for their eyes, that way you can kill them with one shot."
A blush rose on both girls' faces, but they didn't reply.
An Qian had originally aimed for the head of the middle zombie, but it hit the chest of the zombie on the left.
Zhang Xiaoli also did not aim for the zombie on the right.
They both hit the wrong target because the zombies were running too densely.
Qin Shilei's praise made them feel shy.
An Qian put away her compound bow and said casually, "They're too close, I'll use my sword."
After saying that, she drew her sword and charged forward.
Zhang Xiaoli also chimed in, "I'll use my saber for now too."
Then the two girls tried shooting a few more arrows, but without exception, none of them hit the target.
Qin Shilei suppressed a smile and said solemnly, "Perhaps the compound bow isn't adjusted properly, which is preventing you from unleashing your archery talent."
An Qian glared at Qin Shilei, "If you want to laugh, just laugh, don't get sick from holding it in."
"No, why would I make fun of you."
Qin Shilei changed the subject and said, "Let's not use bows, and practice our sword and saber techniques."
"Impossible, take out your short bow." An Qian, not convinced, asked Qin Shilei for a short bow.
"This little girl doesn't really think the compound bow is faulty, does she?"
Qin Shilei wondered to himself, but could only hand the short bow to her.
"Swoosh, swoosh!"
An Qian shot seven or eight arrows in a row.
With every shot, a zombie fell.
An Qian suddenly realized, "It's not the compound bow that's the problem, it's your short bow that's the problem."
Zhang Xiaoli also added, "Brother Qin, so you've been playing the role of a sharpshooter with this short bow all along,"
"How can that be." Qin Shilei said with a confident expression, "I am already an archery god, alright."
After saying that, he took out a compound bow and shot an arrow at the zombies over there.
