Chapter 49 The Peerless Garlic 3

Since Feng Bujue did not chase after Ming Zi, the latter started to slow down once he realized that no one was tailing him. Several seconds later, Ming Zi decided to stop and turn around to look down the block. From afar, he saw Feng Bujue catching up to Atobe, and when he thought that Atobe was about to be killed, he was shocked to notice that no fight broke out. Heightening his surprise, two minutes later, the two walked toward him side by side. Atobe even waved at Ming Zi, as if telling him that he was alright.

Soon, they returned to the gun store. Feng Bujue turned off the speakers and explained the situation to them. "So... After some experiments, I have basically grasped the several properties of these BW Zombies. Even though the opening CG has mentioned some of them, I feel like it’s better to go over them again.

"First, they are greatly averse to the smell of garlic like how we would react to tear gas. The effect of fresh garlic is less than desirable, but after chewing it in your mouth, the smell coming from your mouth will be very effective."

"Big Brother, I’ve been meaning to ask, is it okay for you to be covered in blood like this? Aren’t you afraid of being infected?" Ming Zi asked after seeing Feng Bujue and the two strings of garlic that were drenched in blood.

Feng Bujue pointed at his face, which was relatively clean. "Just be careful to not let the monster’s bodily fluid splash into your eyes or mouth." He then pointed at his clothes. "But I know you mean this... Well, it looks a bit much, but actually, not all of this is monster blood. When I was pouring the blood packs into the barrel, some accidentally splashed on me."

He then took out a full plastic bag from his inventory and placed it on the ground. It was filled with clean garlic. "The two strings I have are my final line of defense, and I kept the edible ones in my backpack. You should go find some bags, and I’ll share some of mine with you. You just need to chew on them during battle, and the monsters will practically be defenseless."

"Hmm... I’ll just take one. After all, you can get around seven cloves from a bulb, and should we run out, we’ll ask more from you," Ming Zi said.

"I don’t need it, thank you," Atobe-sama said straightforwardly.

"Looks like neither of you like the smell of garlic," Feng Bujue said with solemnity. "Do you know that garlic is the best accompaniment to soup noodles?"

"Nope," they answered in unison.

Feng Bujue used a wicked expression and breathed out at them.

"We’re not monsters! What are you doing‽"

Feng Bujue turned serious again. "Then, we shall now talk about the properties of BW Zombies."

"You sure change fast enough..."

"You’re joking, right? This entire city is practically a murder scene, and they can identity a barrel of human blood through the heavy stench?" Atobe-sama looked at the blood barrel.

"It’s normal. One of the trademarks of a good sense of smell is the separation of smells. For example, a drug hound will be able to analyze the makeup of a stench on a molecular level," Feng Bujue answered. "Let’s say you go and sniff a pile of poop, at most you’ll know it’s smelly, but for a creature with good sense of smell, they can even know what the person that made the poop had the day before."

"Now, I only want to know why your analogy wasn’t censored by the system," Atobe-sama complained.

"Under normal circumstances, the word poop is not viewed at an offensive term; it is just a noun," Feng Bujue explained. "Based on my speculation, the system might even come up with a scenario where the players have to talk about this item."

With a dark face, he said, "For example... a situation where the players might be drowning inside a pool of poop..."

"I can’t hear you... I can’t hear you..." Atobe-sama quickly clamped his hands over his ears and repeated those words to himself.

Feng Bujue shrugged and did not finish the disgusting topic, switching subject. "Since we’ve met each other, things will be simpler. The time now is 2:30 pm. You should use this place as a base and try to kill as many monsters as you can. Since the gun store is just next to you, even though there aren’t that many guns left, there is plenty of ammo.

"I will go ahead to look for other players and bring them here."

He raised his head to look at the sky.

"Whether I can find them or not, I’ll return before the sun sets." Then he was reminded of something. "Oh, sounds can attract the monsters as well, so turn the speakers on after I leave."

"Wait a minute," Ming Zi said. "I’ve been meaning to ask, this..."

His eyes looked at the barrel, empty blood packs, speakers, and so on. "How did you manage to do all this?"

"The general process was... before coming to the gun store, I went to a hospital around two blocks away. At the time, I wanted to see if I could find any medicine but accidentally realized that the monsters are attracted to human blood. After exploring the hospital, I came here and decided to make this place a base. Therefore, I went to the nearby shopping complex to grab a trolley and rush to the hospital. I found the blood bank, kicked down the door, grabbed around ten blood packs, and brought them back here in the trolley.

"Then I hauled the barrel from the opposite shop and filled it with blood. The speakers, I grabbed from the shop in between monster waves. The reason was because the music can attract the monsters, and because the monsters were coming too slowly, I was rather bored just standing there.

"In any case, you can train your level here without worry. This scenario’s limitation on time is very relaxed, so we should make use of this opportunity to raise our mastery level and earn more Skill Points."

After explaining all that, he waved his sleeves and turned to leave, leaving behind the two ’professional’ players, watching him walk away.
