Chapter 154 - Entering the Sewer

Including the rooftop on the top floor, the entire jewellery store had a total of five floors.

Before heading to the first floor, Fang Heng once again opened the boxes of materials that he had picked up earlier.

He had already checked all of them before.

The equipment in the last two boxes was unexpectedly good!

‘There was even a flashbang and a bag of medium explosive packs!

Flashbang was a life-saving item.

Even the nemesis would be affected by the flashbang and be frozen on the spot for a few seconds.

‘There was also the medium explosive pack.

Its power was five times that of a small explosive pack.

Considering that he might encounter danger on the way to the hospital, Fang Heng decided to take them all!

[Hint: You have obtained flashbang*1, grenade*12, small explosive pack*7, medium explosive pack*1, automatic rifle (WCX)*1, rifle bullet (200)*5, first aid bandage*s, medical spray*10, first aid blood bag*20.]

Finally, Fang Heng picked up a black gun from the bottom of the box and weighed it in his hand.

[Automatic rifle (WCX)]

‘Type: Weapon.

Description: A short-barreled automatic rifle that fires powerful shots in rapid succession when the trigger is held down.

Minimum equipment requirement: Strength: 15, gun mastery: Level 5.

(Description: If the strength is below 20 and gun mastery is below Level 10, there will be an additional penalty for a lower hit rate.)

It’s very powerful!

Unfortunately, Fang Heng’s current level of gun mastery was not enough to use it perfectly.

In addition, the automatic rifle was not equipped with a silencer. The noise produced after firing would easily attract more zombies to gather.

“Bring it, in case anything happens.”

Fang Heng put away the rifle.

After he had completed equipping himself, Fang Heng became more confident. He held his machete and brought the zombie clones along the stairs to the first floor.

‘The Dark Knights had cleaned up thoroughly and he did not encounter any zombies along the way.

‘When they reached the first floor, Fang Heng compared the map that was imported from outside the game and fumbled his way into the staff changing room.

From the sewer map that Chen Yu gave him, the manhole cover that was closest to him was in an alley two streets away.

Currently, the number of zombie clones was not enough. It was too risky to run outside and face the zombie horde head-on.

After thinking for a while, Fang Heng decided to settle for the second-best option.

He might as well dig a big hole from the inside of the jewellery shop that led directly to the sewer!

“It should be around here.”

In the staff changing room, Fang Heng first sealed the side with wooden planks, then found the right spot and waved his hand.

“Smash!”

‘The zombie clones standing behind him all picked up iron hammers and started to smash the ground!

[Hint: Your zombie clone has disassembled the floor. You have obtained gravel*2.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone has disassembled the floor…]

“Bang! Bang! Bang!!”

A dull knocking sound was heard in the room.

‘The zombie clones were not equipped with iron pickaxes or shovels, so the speed of digging was unusually slow.

The knocking lasted for more than two hours.

The number of zombies in the zombie team had also resurrected to 65.

It was finally done!

Fang Heng heard the muffled sound of a large number of rocks falling into the sewer.

He stood up to observe.

The zombies had dug a five-meter-deep hole in the floor.

Fang Heng used his flashlight to sweep around the hole.

The zombie horde in the sewer was attracted by the light, and they chased after the light, letting out wailing sounds.2

The sewer in Pine City was also filled with zombies!

However, the situation was still good.

The density of the zombies was much lower than the last time in Hope Town.

It was within control!

The vine zombie clones jumped down into the hole and landed in the stinky sewer.

They slowly stood up and raised their iron spears to attack the zombie horde in the sewer.

The zombies looked at their kind in confusion.

“Ah, a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.”

[Hint: Your zombie clone has killed a normal zombie. You have gained survival points +2.]

{Hint: Your zombie clone has killed a normal zombie….]

‘The game log began to refresh again.

‘The damage caused by the iron spears was almost double that of the wooden spears. In addition, Fang Heng’s strength attribute had improved a lot recently.

The efficiency of killing zombies had increased a lot compared to the last time he was in Hope Town!

In less than ten minutes, the zombie clones had cleared out a clean area below.

[Hint: Your zombie group has cleared out the zombies. You have gained 3,162 survival points, 162 evolution crystal fragments and complete evolution crystal*12.]

Fang Heng raised his hand and absorbed the evolution crystal fragments into his hand. Then, he jumped down into the hole.

“Pada!”

Fang Heng could not help but pinch his nose when he landed on the ground.

‘The nauseating stench assaulted him once again.

“This damned place!”

[Warning: The environment you are in is extremely harsh. Due to the influence of the stench, as you stay in the sewer for a longer period, your HP will continue to decrease, and the rate of decrease will gradually increase.]

[Hint: Your physique has been partially enhanced and has reached 20 points. You have a certain degree of resistance to the stench. You can stay in the sewer for a longer period, but your infection index will continue to increase.]

‘There was such a benefit to having a stronger physique?

Fang Heng thought to himself, and quickly took out a bottle of blue potion specially made by Qiu Yaokang from his backpack and drank it.

[Hint: You have used a powerful anti-infection potion. Within 24 hours, your resistance to infection will be greatly increased.]

‘Then, Fang Heng made a simple mask.

He used the healing spray and sprayed it on the mask to dispel the smell, then put it on his face.

He could barely breathe.

Fang Heng tested the effect of the mask, then commanded the zombie group to continue moving forward.

‘The dark underground sewer had long been occupied by the rotting zombie horde.

Under the flashlight, there was a sewage passage in the middle of the underground sewer. There were raised pathways on both sides for people to walk on.

Alarge portion of the zombie clones walked in the sewer.

The sewage water almost reached their knees.

‘The zombie clones raised their iron spears one after another, cleaning up the zombies along the way.

‘They walked and stopped, and their progress was unusually slow.

‘There were many Tier 1 puz zombies in the sewer. Sometimes, they even appeared in groups.

‘Whenever he encountered them, Fang Heng had to carefully avoid them.

The puz that exploded would not only cause blood loss, but it would also cause a significant increase in the infection index.

After about ten minutes, Fang Heng’s HP began to decrease.

‘The negative effects of the environment began.

Fang Heng was already prepared. He grabbed the healing spray and sprayed it into his mouth.

“At this speed, it’ll take at least an hour.”

Suddenly, Fang Heng sensed a threat.

He put away the healing spray and controlled the zombie group to stop. He slightly narrowed his eyes and raised his head to look ahead.

Along the way, the sewage passage became deeper, and the sewage water had already reached the waist of the zombies.

Right in front of the sewer, there were strange ripples in the calm water.

‘There was something under the water!

It was rapidly approaching them.

There was more than one!

The sense of threat was getting stronger!
