Chapter 13 The Blood Corpse

Unexpectedly, even after suffering such a heavy blow, the blood corpse remained standing, raising an arm and grabbing Wang Tanzhi.

In that second, everyone present was thinking the same two things. First: this monster's brain was probably just mush to begin with; second: Wang Tanzhi was probably about to be directly owned.

Bang! Another gunshot.

Feng Bujue's actions were as swift as his thoughts, and equally calm and efficient. At that moment, he had already appeared two meters to the side of the blood corpse, raising his gun and firing at its head. Because of the close range, the bullet penetrated straight through, piercing the blood corpse's head, and a pool of unknown liquid sprayed out along with the bullet that left the skull.

The blood corpse's movements finally came to a halt, and Wang Tanzhi quickly broke free from its grip, jumping off its shoulder.

Feng Bujue walked to the front of the blood corpse, aiming the gun at the monster's brow: "Interesting, it seems its hindbrain is almost useless." Before he finished speaking, he fired again, the bullet entering from the blood corpse's forehead, and this time it didn't even make a sound, completely losing its reaction.

"Hmm... I understand now, this guy is used to fixating on a target with high damage output, so it's easy to be harmed from behind. The head is undoubtedly its weakness, but the system deliberately set its most fatal weak point on the front, and gave it high attack and high health..." As Feng Bujue spoke, the blood corpse had already fallen. Actually, for him, killing the monster wasn't important; knowing how to kill this kind of monster most efficiently was more important.

Long Aomin had finally recovered at this point. He could still stand and walk, but his complexion looked very bad. Although others didn't know how much survival value he had left, they all knew that his condition was quite terrible...

Wang Tanzhi's lost survival value was insignificant compared to Long Aomin, but of course, with his survival value, even in 90% condition, being hit by that blood corpse would probably have killed him directly.

Just when everyone thought they had defeated the mini-Boss and could catch their breath, darkness descended again, and various terrifying sounds rang out in their ears. Everyone's fear values soared, and they couldn't help but have a thought: if the blood corpse on the ground stood up again after the darkness passed, and became even stronger, what would they do?

Seconds later, the darkness dissipated, coming and going quickly, just like last time. Feng Bujue had already raised his gun again, alertly aiming at the head of the blood corpse on the ground, but the latter didn't react at all, it seemed to be completely dead.

"So it seems... the three possibilities I mentioned earlier should be the second one without a doubt." Feng Bujue aimed for five or six seconds, and when he saw no movement, he put down the gun again. "This darkness is something like a natural phenomenon, and the effect is that every time it appears, all 'living' monsters become stronger." He glanced at the blood corpse on the ground. "I suspect that this blood corpse has already been strengthened once... not just it, when we encountered the first darkness, all the monsters in the city that hadn't been killed were strengthened."

Long Aomin, Lonely, and Solitary had walked to Feng Bujue's side. Long Aomin didn't say much, and just casually handed over the [Mario's Pipe Wrench]. Feng Bujue also casually took it, neither of them treating it as a big deal.

Feng Bujue continued, "If we hadn't killed this blood corpse by now, I'm afraid it would mutate again in the darkness."

"Wouldn't the difficulty of this script be too exaggerated? If this kind of darkness comes a few more times, won't there be monsters running all over the city?" Wang Tanzhi said.

"This is indirectly urging us to clear the game as soon as possible, because this city is very large, and the monsters in the script are not very dense, at least not like in zombie movies where they're everywhere... so the system uses this method to prevent players from leisurely searching for things in the city," Feng Bujue said. "If we don't hurry, not to mention the main quest, after a few hours, any monster we encounter will be as strong as a Boss, and we're guaranteed to be wiped out."

"Then what are we waiting for... hurry..." Before Long Aomin finished speaking, Feng Bujue shook his head. "We still have to prioritize things, our plan remains unchanged." He looked back at the direction of the police station. "Now that this monster has been killed, after a battle of this level, there will definitely be rewards. Let's search the police station for equipment first, try to arm everyone, and also, we need to recover some survival value for Brother Long."

As Feng Bujue spoke, he walked all the way to the broken wall. He took out a broken flashlight from his backpack and said, "I have a skill that can make these broken gadgets work normally for about three minutes, but it costs 100 stamina points. I didn't have time to search further just now because I had to rush back to help, and it's not advisable to waste stamina before a battle, so I didn't use this skill.

Considering that the light sources inside are limited, and there's only one flashlight, I suggest that I go in alone. If I find other, more reliable lighting equipment, I'll come out and find everyone, and then we'll search together."

He turned his head and said, "Of course, if anyone wants to come in with me now, they can, but they can only follow me and their sight can only follow the area I'm illuminating."

"No need, we'll just wait here, are you afraid that we think you're going to pocket the equipment?" Long Aomin laughed heartily, and sat cross-legged on the ground. "I can take a break and recover some stamina."

The Lonely young man didn't express any opinions at this point. In the two team survival modes that he and Solitary had previously played, high-level players would never protect or care about them, let alone share equipment with them. And now this "Mad Brother" is here specifically to get equipment for the team at this police station, how could they have any objections.

Feng Bujue exchanged glances with the four of them, then nodded and entered the gap in the wall again. But this time, he had a flashlight in his hand. After taking a few steps forward, he used [Sloppy Repair]. As 100 stamina points were deducted, some two-dimensional data fragment-like matrix codes appeared on the flashlight. Then, the flashlight quickly changed and became perfectly intact.

[Name: Flashlight]

[Type: Tool]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Function: Lighting]

[Whether it can be brought out of this script: Yes]

[Remarks: Requires two D batteries to work.]

Although this thing can be brought out of the script, it's useless, because once Feng Bujue's skill expires, its quality will become broken, and then it won't light up. It's not a plot item either, so it won't turn into a puzzle card.

Moving forward with a handheld light source, Feng Bujue's search became extremely efficient, and he quickly found something very important...
