There are several roads in Heba leading to nearby villages, but Hao Jian and the others did not rush forward. After all, it’s only the ninth day of the third level of the zombie outbreak and the materials are already scarce, so even if they manage to reach the village, no one is most likely willing to take them in.

When they passed a very high section of reeds, they suddenly heard the sound of some rustling next to them. They immediately became vigilant and concentrated their attention on whether zombies were rushing out of the surrounding area.

At this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in the reeds and Hao Jian instinctively knocked it over without thinking much about it.

The thing she knocked slammed to the ground. When they looked at it properly, it was a zombie dog.

The black dog had obvious bite marks on its body and its abdomen was empty, with only a bloody patch. Hao Jian wasn’t able to kill it, so it got up again ang rushed towards them.

This zombie dog can move much faster than a zombie and its teeth and claws are sharp enough to easily cut through the skin and cause wound infection, so they’re more difficult to deal with than a zombie.

“Hao Jian, be careful!” Seeing the zombie dog heading towards Hao Jian, Lian Ru Ning hurried forward.

She swung her axe at the zombie’s neck, but because of the zombie’s agility, she only shopped its body, and because of the zombification of the dog, she was able to cut the zombie dog into two.

Despite being cut into two, the zombie dog still didn’t feel any pain and immediately moved its upper body using its front legs. However, after its speed slowed down, Hao Jian was also able to control its movements easier and killed it with one more blow.

“A zombie dog has been killed, experience gained: 5+, points gained: 10+”

“The host is currently at level 1 and the conditions for opening level 2 are met. Please choose whether to upgrade.”

The system’s prompt notification surprised Hao Jian a little, “Is killing zombie animals and killing zombies have the same rewards?”

“Zombie animals can also spread zombie viruses across species, so the system determines that the reward for killing zombie animals is equivalent to killing zombies,” The system explained, “Please choose whether to upgrade, host.”

Hao Jian naturally chose to upgrade.

The host agreed to upgrade. Gathering information about unlocking level 2. . .

Successfully obtained!

Upgrade successful!

The host is currently level 2 and has the right to open the exchange. You can buy 10 foods per day; you can by 3 over-the-counter medicines every day; level rewards are: 1 pack of spicy strips, and a Gurkha army knife.

Experience required for the next level: 500

“. . . What the hell? Hot strips?” She understood all the other words, but she didn’t understand hot strips.

“Spicy bar is the basic reward.”

“Why didn’t I receive these level rewards at level 1?”

“Host, what do you think are rewards for such a dish as level 1? What kind of bicycle foes the host want for such a dish?”

“Aren’t you the boss, why do you want to talk like me?” Hao Jian played with it.

The system analysis showed that Hao Jian was in a good mood, so it took the opportunity to instigate her, “Does the host want to get rid of the identity of the rookie? Actively kill the zombies and communicate with the love interest in depths of the soul. You can quickly gain upgrade experience and allow you to embark on the pinnacle of life!”

Hao Jian, “What kind of system are you?”

“Doomsday survival system.”

“Oh, I thought you were a pimping system.”

System, “. . .”

After letting the system deflate again, Hao Jian focused on the new permissions, “What is the use of redeeming permissions?”

The system decided to leave Hao Jian in the cold, leaving her with a mechanical voice, “Huh!”

“Unexpectedly, even animals can get infected and attack living people!”

While Hao Jian was teasing the system, Lian Ru Ning and Xin Ting were also studying the zombie dog.

Lian Ru Ning discovered that after she and Hao Jian came out, they didn’t seem to see zombie animals and even when they spent the long night everywhere, they didn’t fear the barking of dogs or cats.

Because Lian Ru Ning grew up in the city since she was a child, she was used to nights without dogs barking. She didn’t notice anything strange at first, until she met this zombie dog.

She thought for a while, took a photo of the zombie dog and studied it slowly when it was safe.

For fear of another zombie dog or zombie cat coming out of the reeds, they were very careful along the way. Before long, a temple appeared in their field of vision.

Facing the river, the temple was surrounded by a large open space and farmland. The nearest house is also two to three hundred meters away. More than fifty meters ahead, they could see a road, but because of the high altitude, they couldn’t see the situation above.

They stopped. They saw that the wooden door of the temple in front is closed and there seemed to be two zombies grabbing the door.

In response, they exchanged glances, “Someone’s inside!”

Killing zombies, or detour. It was a difficult decision for them.

Hao Jian would definitely go around if it were in the past, after all, she never considered herself to be a good person. But she needs to experience to upgrade now, and there are not many zombies there, which makes her a little shaken.

Lian Ru Ning also hesitated a little because no one knew what was behind the door. What if they solved the zombies and some people like Li Chang and Li Ge came out of the temple?

After hesitating for a moment, they made a decision.

They have already learned their lesson, so they just need to be vigilant this time. There aren’t many zombies outside, but the people inside are afraid to come out and deal with the zombies. Either the number is small, or the courage and strength are weak, making their threat not as great as the Li family.

Hao Jian and the other dismantled a fishing net used by others for protection from a nearby field and used it as a hunting tool. While they were doing these things for a while, another zombie came out of the village not far away.

“You continue, I will deal with the zombie first.” Hao Jian wanted to find an opportunity to take out the Gurkha army knife to test it out.

Hao Jian is no stranger to the Gurkha Army Knife because it is also known as “Nepal Army Knife” or “Dog Leg Knife” in many games, and it is also known as the most mechanically recognized knife in the world.

Hao Jian, who had never touched it in reality, was very interested in it. She took out this army knife under the cover of the trees.

The Gurkha army knife is 35 – 48 centimeters in length. The blade is curved inward, like a dog leg. When it was unsheathed, the sunlight reflected a sharp light on it, which showed that the army knife was really sharp.

It is much lighter than a crowbar. Of course, Hao Jian still used the crowbar to deal with the zombies. After killing it, she took the corpse of the zombie to test out the Gurkha Army knife.

After testing it, she found that she could still use the army knife to save at least half of her current energy! She was very satisfied with the result and stopped staying any longer. She hurried back to Lian Ru Ning and the others.

Seeing that Hao Jian came back safely and had an extra knife at hand, Lian Ru Ning didn’t question her. She didn’t understand these weapons and thought that it was another knife that Hao Jian picked up.

Hao Jian waited for a while and didn’t see Lian Ru Ning ask about the knife’s origin. She was worried whether Lian Ru Ning had discovered something, fortunately, Xin Ting asked, “The shape of this knife looks strange, where did it come from?”

“It was inserted in a zombie. I found it easy to use so I took it.”

The reason why Hao Jian didn’t say that she picked it up mainly because there will always be people in the world who recognize this army knife, and how could an ordinary village lose such a knife? If she says that she found it on the zombies, it can also be used as an excuse to say that some people passing failed to kill with the zombies and the knife was left behind.

Sure enough, Xin Ting didn’t think much about it.

In order to avoid attracting more zombies, they still need to fight quickly. Using the well-made rounds-up tools, they first attracted the two zombies in front of the temple. Xin Ting and Lian Ru Ning were responsible for restricting their actions while Hao Jian went up to annihilate them.

Hao Jian went up to the zombies with the knife at hand. Using her strength when handling the crowbar to chop down the zombie’s neck, it was immediately cut in half. In the eyes of Lian Ru Ning and Xin Ting, her skill became more agile and her attacks were more accurate. She raised the knife and brought it down without a trace of emotion.

With the addition of these two zombies, Hao Jian dealt with a total of eleven zombies and a zombie dog today. Her arm was already sore and she could imagine how much it would hurt tomorrow.

Putting away the tools, they walked to the door of the temple and listened carefully. There seemed to be no other movement inside. Hao Jian knocked on the door, but her grip around the knife tightened.

There was no movement inside for a while, Hao Jian wanted to speak but suddenly saw an eye in the crack of the door. Hao Jian is accustomed to this kind of picture in the game, but she still couldn’t help but want to curse, “Open the door!”

“Are you human?” A man’s voice came from inside.

Seeing that it was a man, both Lian Ru Ning and Xin Ting became alert.

Hao Jian rolled her eyes, “Do you think we are primates or something?”

“There are no zombies out there, right?” The man asked chastely again.

“Can’t you open the door? We can go if you won’t open the door. We don’t have the time to waste our breaths with you here.”

After Hao Jian finished speaking, he opened the door neatly. Behind the door was a man wearing a vest, a few meters tall but full of muscles. He was in his twenties, with scumbag on his haggard face.

Seeing several people with Hao Jian, his emotions became excited, “You’re all women? How come you’re so powerful. You can actually deal with so many zombies!”

“Many?” These words made Hao Jian dumb founded, “How can a woman?”

“No, very good, so amazing!” The man exclaimed.

“. . .” Lian Ru Ning and Xin Ting were very awkward.

Hao Jian looked inside the temple. In this temple of more than 100 square meters, a fierce idol was facing them at the gate, and there were small idols on the left and right. Except for the incense burner in the center, which was still standing, all the altars were overthrown to the ground, and there was a mess inside.

“You’re alone?!” Hao Jian looked at the man’s eyes and became weird. This man seemed to be full of muscles and strength, but he couldn’t even deal with two zombies?

But thinking that there seemed to be no weapons inside, she was relieved.

“Yes, yes, yes!” The man nodded quickly, “By the way, my name is Peng Mao. I don’t know the names of my three female heroes?”

“Female heroes?” Xin Ting was amused by him.

Peng Mao rubbed his palms, feeling very embarrassed, “You have courage and strategy, you are heroines!”

Hao Jian raised her hand to stop him from praising them, “What’s the situation here?”

Speaking of this, Peng Mao couldn’t help but wipe a tear, pulling Hao Jian and the others to talk about his tragic experience.
