How the dead defend (3)

Eat a lot, my sweet cherry.

Jinhyuk stroked the red-stained man-eating plant.

It ate all the food in the warehouse, so its size and power were beyond imagination.

OK.

Keeeeeeek!

A huge plant that reached 10 meters in height roared wildly.

The air rumbles.

Contrary to the cute nickname, could there be a more terrifying nightmare for players who fight against him?

Oh, it's coming!

Damn it, spread it all out! If you stick together, you'll be annihilated!

KwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwaKwa!

A huge vine swept through the mart in an instant.

What the hell is this!

Hwangbo Gunak screamed as he flew his body without hesitation.

Huh?

If we destroy this stronghold right next door, the number of zombies going to you will be much higher! But why would you do such a stupid thing!

The fourth floor is a competitive structure and a floor that requires minimal collaboration.

If 'that guy' wakes up after trolling openly, it means that they can all die.

Even if it was a member of the Moorim on the 20th floor.

'That stupid player can't know that.'

If you knew the consequences of your actions, you wouldn't have dared to do something like this.

Hwangbogunak clicked his tongue inwardly as if frustrated.

However.

You must be afraid of the queen.

The words that came out of Jinhyuk's mouth completely overturned his expectations.

"Wow, you know about the queen?"

Of course you know.

There are two ways to get special rewards on the 4th floor.

The first is to achieve the most kills.

And the second is to be elected as a popular base through subscriber voting.

like this

However, there is actually another way to earn rewards.

There is a third way you can never get by in the normal way.

Hidden Quest 'The mother of the dead'.

Defeating the Queen of Zombies is the best way to get the biggest reward you can get on this floor.

...I can't believe it. A human being who hasn't even entered the tower in a while...

If one of the large bases guarded by more than 200 players is destroyed before 3 waves, a special event occurs. That's the case right now.

'It's me, but I found this method as a shortcut to breathe life into a cheap clay doll.'

There was no chance that a large base, which was normally defended by more than 200 people, would be captured before the 3rd wave.

Therefore, when it is known that human power is overwhelmingly weak, the queen of zombies wakes up.

In order to wipe out unworthy enemies in one stroke, it means that they move directly to the base where humans are.

At Jinhyeok's unobtrusive reply, Hwangbogunak lost any more reason to doubt.

True.

The opponent knows everything.

You know about the Queen's existence, but are you planning to bring her back?

I don't want to block 50 waves of zombies one by one. It's boring. Not to mention that I'm tired.

Under normal circumstances, you should be in these gloomy ruins for at least a few weeks.

There is a way to avoid suffering, but there is no reason to go back to the difficult way.

Of course, at first, I was trying to attack with the Jeonggong method.

This is because in order to destroy a large base within 3 waves, they had to massacre common players.

But from the moment I met these guys.

And since these guys picked one of the large bases in Matra.

The plan has changed.

There was no reason to feel any remorse against those who raised their swords in the first place.

With this, all of your strongholds were destroyed.

No matter how powerful they are in the middle class, it is unreasonable to deal with zombies without a base.

Because the limits of the size and physical strength of the troops were a wall that could never be overcome as an individual.

So, the remaining time. Let's try our best to live somewhere.

The purpose of coming here has been accomplished, now it is time to go back.

Jinhyuk turned around without hesitation.

Where is this rip-and-death bastard trying to get away with his own words! Do you think you can get out of here alive?

Kakakan!

Sparks flew out of Zhuge's sword.

However, Jinhyuk walked out of the mart without even paying attention to Jegal Chun.

Because there is no reason to fight anymore.

already.

Keeeeeeek!

Plants that would completely turn the base into ruins were backing it up.

same time.

bang! bang! bang! kwaaang!

At Sangam Stadium, a frantic black wave pounded against the rocky plants.

[The rock plant activates Lv1 'Deep Root'!]

It was a rock plant with a very hard and steep body, so even the zombies could not easily climb over the wall.

Then, this time, the zombies started climbing using their bodies as a foothold.

Kurre!

Aww!

The body of the zombies lying on the bottom was crushed by the weight, but they did not feel pain in the first place.

But the moment the first zombies crossed the shield plant and entered the arena.

In the key?

A shadow fell over the zombie's head.

[The meat plant uses Lv1 'Full Body Leap'!]

kuuuooh!

A meat plant with a size that could have weighed a few tons crushed the zombies as it was.

There, the frozen plants radiated cold, and reduced the movement speed of the zombies.

A really neat defense.

For the remaining four, it was enough just to do the post-processing.

...it's really amazing. It's already possible to defend yourself without players intervening. Did Jinhyeok take all this into account?

Theresa muttered with a look of admiration and awe.

It is an unbelievable sight to see.

"If it were you, it probably would have been."

"We used to go together with my brother, so I thought I knew a lot about him, but looking at it like this, it makes me think that we are still far away."

Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa also added one word at a time.

" "

On the other hand, Cheon Yu-seong frowned as if he was dissatisfied with everything.

The more you look at the competitor you have to overcome, the more you get annoyed because it is a huge monster.

It was extremely difficult to deal with enemies who design situations beyond simply individual combat skills.

But that was then.

[The large base 'Mart' has been captured.]

A status window appeared suddenly in front of everyone.

What, what?

Teresa exclaimed in surprise.

If it's a mart, it's where the Chinese players used to be before. You said there was a hole there?

Nonsense .

"Maybe it has nothing to do with my brother, is it?"

The time when Jinhyuk left with a wide smile and the timing of the capture of the base coincided perfectly.

Above all else, it didn't make sense that a large base with such powerful power could not stop the second zombie wave and collapsed.

no doubt

Something strange is happening.

And to prove it.

[A special event has occurred.]

[The owner of the 4th floor, 'Pendariel', moves to punish the weak players.]

A red status window appeared next.

You're the owner of the fourth floor... What the hell is that?

No way. Wasn't this all we had to do to stop the zombie wave?

The fact that there was a boss monster on the 4th floor was the first time I heard about Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa, who used to come and go here as if they were their own.

Of course, other people could not even guess about the existence of Pendariel.

Looks like he's doing something great again.

Cheon Yuseong looked out of the stadium and murmured.

Jinhyuk left the mart and moved around the roof of the building.

It was to find a suitable place to use the item.

how far did it go?

'It's here.'

Jinhyuk's footsteps stopped.

There are a number of bases around, so the flow of mana is intricately intertwined, and it is not far from Sangam Stadium.

It is perfect.

Jinhyuk took out a small stone from the subspace inventory.

A special item obtained by defeating the 3rd floor boss monster, Mu-Hoon.

It was a 'stone that blocks the sun'.

[Stone that blocks the sun]

Acquisition Difficulty: Unknown

Description: A ceremonial relic used in the ancient Maya Empire, allowing it to block the sun and bring in darkness. When used, reduces the abilities of the five elements (water, fire, earth, wind, light) by 50% and increases the power of the dark attribute by 100%.

[The ferocious option is forcibly activated.]

This item should never be used on the 4th floor.

Most of the abilities players use were one of the five elemental abilities.

On the other hand, if the zombies receive ferociousness with the dark attribute, their movement speed and attack speed will be doubled.

However.

Whoops!

Jinhyuk smashed the stone as if laughing at all of it.

Shattered fragments fell on the roof.

Then at that very moment.

huuuuuuoooooooooooooooooooo

Darkness swallowed up the sun.

A thick carpet began to fall over the building.

The difficulty of attacking the 4th floor with this will increase dramatically.

Of course, I didn't use this item just to enjoy the thrill.

Another event arises if you intentionally introduce yourself to danger.

as soon as.

[human. What do you think?]

I knew it.

A message that can only be used by the boss monster appeared in an action that was out of line with common sense.

It was the same kind of message that Alice used in the corridor.

Looking at you, it looks like your guy is trying to swamp the bases, right?

[Only. Even the scouts can't stop it. dudes opponents. There is no need to save energy.]

I'm sorry to sound funny, but don't touch the other bases and come to me. The Sangam Stadium you see behind me is my base.

[human. alone. sacrifice. do you?]

Rather than a sacrifice, even if a million zombies come, it's trivial.

[Is it boring? come out. my children?]

Pendariel's voice changed.

Due to lack of intelligence, even the tone of the translation was not corrected, but anger was oozing out of the tone.

you'll be angry

Because only one human ignored the boss monster on one floor.

Try to challenge yourself by pouring out all your troops. I'll wipe them all out.

Jinhyuk groaned.

[good. human. your stronghold. destroy it first A warning to all humans. To regret that you dared to attack us.]

The Queen's message ended there.

After a while, the troops filled with her wrath will come all the way here.

'Was it well recorded?'

Jinhyuk looked at the broadcasting system.

[The edited version of the video from the large base 'Mart' is being uploaded.]

After seeing the video being uploaded, Jinhyuk clenched his fists.

'great.'

Everything went as planned.

The stupid Chinese players couldn't keep a single stronghold and activated Hidden Quest.

So you have to be prepared for the worst.

At that moment, Jinhyuk Kang risked himself to save everyone.

Use the 'stone that blocks the sun' so that the zombies flock to their base.

It will look like a hero in everyone's eyes.

However.

'Most kill rewards and popularity votes. I'll take all the rewards for catching the boss monster.'

The corners of Jinhyuk's lips went up.

Saving people is a bonus.

The main purpose is to wipe out all the rewards.

Through this. It created a golden opportunity to monopolize the popularity of the public and even sweets.

no one else

'On my own strength.'
