Chapter 19 The Origin of the Blueprints

The words immediately set the chat channel ablaze!

Holy crap, no way, I thought those ordinary zombies were the limit, are there even more terrifying existences?

This... as tall as a bus... is that still a zombie? It's practically a monster!

Didn't the system say the game wouldn't lift the suppression until after 30 days? How can such a monstrous zombie exist now?!

I have no idea where I am, let alone Yingbin Road, how am I supposed to detour? This is a matter of life and death, I swear!

Absorbing energy cores can increase your strength, everyone hurry up and kill zombies!

This world is already so terrifying, after 30 days, it will be hellish, won't it...

Damn, I need to quickly pull my energy cores from the trade. This stuff really can't be sold!

Seeking shelter, seeking shelter, there are six of us sisters together, please let some capable little brothers protect us!

Zhang Chen was also slightly surprised by the last message.

He didn't expect zombies to be so monstrous under suppression!

Taller than a bus?

In that case...

He really needed to improve himself quickly!

Zhang Chen took out the [Sharpened Tang Saber Design Blueprint].

He had originally planned to synthesize this weapon after his strength reached the human limit.

But now it seemed...

He should synthesize it first!

After all, even reaching the limit of human physique, the damage wouldn't be as high as a suitable weapon!

Click to synthesize!

Ding! You have lost ten metal weapons, energy cores*10...

Congratulations on obtaining [Sharpened Alloy Tang Saber]!

A cold, gleaming Tang saber appeared before Zhang Chen!

Subtle yet textured patterns were faintly engraved on the blade!

Let's test the effect of this weapon!

Zhang Chen casually waved the Tang saber at the coffee table!

Swish!

A cold light flashed!

Zhang Chen barely felt any resistance!

A corner of the wooden coffee table was cleanly sliced off!

Incredibly sharp!

If he had used a fire axe for that move just now...

It would have required great strength, and the cut surface would definitely not have been so smooth!

With this weapon, killing zombies would be even easier!

Zhang Chen put the weapon away with satisfaction.

Ding-dong!

Suddenly, someone sent him a private message!

It was Zhao Xiyue, who had traded a map and a key for half a bottle of water with Zhang Chen yesterday!

Are you there?

I am!

I have the [Beginner Water Purifier Blueprint], can I exchange it for some water? I'm dying of thirst!

Zhang Chen clicked on the blueprint.

[Beginner Water Purifier Blueprint]: Requires 1 standard water purifier, 5 energy cores!

[Beginner Water Purifier]: Can purify contaminated water into slightly contaminated water!

Slightly contaminated water can be used for washing faces, bathing, and irrigation.

However, it cannot be drunk; drinking it has a high probability of causing diarrhea and dysentery!

This thing might be useless to others.

After all that trouble, the purified water still can't be drunk!?

It's completely useless!

But for Zhang Chen, it meant something different!

The growth of meat potatoes requires water and fertilizer.

Fertilizer was easy; his storage space was stacked with hundreds of them.

But he clearly didn't have enough water for irrigation!

He couldn't possibly use his drinking purified water to water the plants!

That would be too extravagant!

Okay, but you have to tell me where you got this blueprint!

Zhang Chen asked.

It's strange.

He had killed so many zombies, yet not a single blueprint dropped!

And Wang Jiran, who hadn't killed a single zombie, managed to get the Tang saber blueprint?!

Zhao Xiyue, trapped in the security room, also managed to get a blueprint...

What was going on?!

Is this... also one of the exchange conditions?

Zhao Xiyue hesitated and asked.

That's right, it can even be said that your intelligence is far more valuable than this blueprint!

If the information you provide is useful to me, I'll consider trading you half a bottle of water!

Zhang Chen said.

Of course, this half bottle of water was still what he had just drunk...

Then... okay...

You'll find out sooner or later anyway...

I found many supply boxes on the university campus!

I took the opportunity when the zombies at the entrance weren't paying attention, opened a supply box nearby, and got this blueprint!

Zhao Xiyue answered truthfully.

She felt Zhang Chen was a good person, so she was willing to share the real situation.

Many supply boxes...

Zhang Chen was attracted by this sentence.

When he first entered the game, he opened a level 1 supply box and obtained a physique potion!

This put him a step ahead of others!

If he could be the first to secure the supply boxes on the university campus...

This would definitely give him a significant advantage!

Really, I'm not lying to you!

I opened a level 1 supply box, it was wooden, and looked very simple!

I saw supply boxes at the entrance of the teaching buildings and on the playground!

I even saw a golden level 3 supply box!

It's just that there were too many zombies around it, I only caught a glimpse and ran back!

Fearing that Zhang Chen wouldn't believe her, Zhao Xiyue described the location and appearance of the supply boxes in detail.

Zhang Chen had never seen a level 3 supply box, but the description of the level 1 supply box was exactly the same as what he had seen!

Mm... I believe you!

Zhang Chen said calmly.

Thank you for believing me... I knew you were a good person!

Zhao Xiyue said, slightly touched.

I'm not a good person, and I suggest you don't easily trust anyone claiming to be good!

Anyone can pretend, especially a beautiful girl like you...

You're already a target of coveting for other male survivors... being too trusting won't end well for you!

Zhang Chen corrected her coldly.

I understand, I know you mean well!

I can protect myself!

Thank you!

Zhao Xiyue said, showing [Energy Cores]*3.

She looked at the handsome man in the chat avatar, feeling warm inside!

Did you kill zombies?

Seeing the energy cores, Zhang Chen was stunned!

Yes, there was a military dagger in the supply box, so I gave it a try!

I was quite scared and nervous the first time I killed a zombie!

But I feel that if you ambush them, your chances of winning are quite high!

It's just a pity that ambushing requires opportunities, and such opportunities are rare...

Zhao Xiyue excitedly shared her experience and insights with Zhang Chen.
