BXBX NOVEL Chapter 242 This Place Is Home Now
[Your froggies see a zombie carrying a huge hammer, staggering along the street. In front of it is a broken ground fissure...]
[Your Da Vinci tells foodie that it's time to do a good deed... foodie understands Da Vinci's meaning and rushes towards the zombie, hitting it from behind. The zombie flies up and falls into the ground fissure...]
[ Foodie squats on the ground and looks at the plump green caterpillar in front of it. It tells the caterpillar not to thank it and to be careful when walking in the future, so as not to be stepped on by a zombie, which would cause it to burst... it looks at the caterpillar and wonders, "What do you taste like?"]
Ding~ Your foodie kills a one-star lord, gaining 400 experience points and 100 gold coins.
"100 gold coins?"
100 gold coins are too few.
Ming adjusts his sunglasses and continues heading towards the center of the district, hoping that the zombies in this district instance wouldn't wander around on the streets and, more importantly, wouldn't encounter the two green frogs.
Ming records the location of the earthworm forest through the froggies' path and plans to harvest it later.
[Da Vinci looks at foodie and encourages it to exhale forcefully, saying it will come out... foodie coughs and tells Da Vinci that it will never eat caterpillars again because they scratch the throat...]
[Da Vinci tells foodie to inhale and exhale forcefully, saying this method is very useful... foodie suddenly inhales, and it's stunned as the caterpillar is sucked into its stomach...]
[Da Vinci proudly pats foodie, saying this eating method is a family secret and it should learn it well... it asks foodie how it feels now... foodie tells Da Vinci that its stomach itches like little ants crawling...]
[Your foodie is worried that the caterpillar won't eat it inside its stomach... Da Vinci gently strokes foodie's belly, telling it not to be afraid, and comes up with a solution... go drink some water to drown the caterpillar... foodie looks at Da Vinci and says, "You're so smart..."]
"…"
Ming opens the map and finds that he is already close to the center of the district. If the bosses are scattered, he thinks he should be able to complete the kills within 24 hours.
However, for some reason, he doesn't want to go back so soon. The allure of money is indeed powerful, as it can make a person leave their hometown. After all, this district is conservatively estimated to be worth more than 10 million gold coins.
"No! No!"
Ming stops and ponders, touching the tip of his nose. He suddenly realizes that his thinking has been limited by the words 'instance' and 'zombie'.
The zombies in this district instance are mostly the result of survivors dying and evolving, not the zombies set by the initial rules.
A long time ago, he had killed some evildoers. When they turned into zombies, he stripped their equipment off of them. That equipment was still functional with attributes. So, if he directly stripped the equipment of these survivor zombies... would they still be functional?
However, now that this district has been transformed into an instance, some settings may change along with the instance.
But there are loopholes in the rules, and it's worth trying to exploit them.
At this moment, a zombie appears.
"Chance," Ming snaps his fingers, summoning the psychic giant eagle and directing it to lift the zombie. He turns to the little bear and says, "Girl, don't look, turn around."
The little bear growls and turns around.
With a rustle, Ming steps forward and pulls off the zombie's pants.
Checking: [Zombie-Scented Sweatpants]
"…"
Ming is speechless, realizing that he might have overthought it. However, it also proves that when a district turns into an instance, the settings will change accordingly.
[Your frogs shuttle through the streets and alleys, looking for water sources. They pass by a river and see the stinky ditch filled with floating corpses. Da Vinci looks at Foodie and says, "Or, we can try to stink it to death..."]
[Your Foodie leaves the riverside, thinking that Da Vinci's idea is not wrong, but it really can't drink such dirty water...]
[Your frogs come to a big house, and after entering, they don't find water. Da Vinci sees two bottles of wine... It tells Foodie that it can also try to drown the caterpillar in alcohol in its stomach...]
[Foodie knocks over the wine bottles, the bottles break, and it starts drinking. Foodie looks up at Da Vinci, "This is delicious!" Da Vinci shakes his head...]
"You two are really something," Ming leads the little bear, walking through several blocks, and finally approaches the center of the district. He doesn't go there directly but takes the little bear to a dilapidated high-rise building. This is the tallest building nearby, and it's safest to observe from a distance on top of it.
After entering the broken high-rise building, there are limbs and broken arms lying haphazardly inside, like a slaughterhouse. It seems that a brutal blood battle has taken place here, but humans are still lost.
A few minutes later, Ming stands at a high point and lets the little bear wait below. With its weight, it's better not to stand too high, as the building structure is not very strong.
He picks up the binoculars and looks towards the center of the district, which is an open area with dozens of zombies slowly wandering around.
"Where is it?" Ming searches through the binoculars. At this moment, his eyes fall on a relatively tall, white police officer zombie wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and a large-brimmed hat.
Wearing a police uniform? This is probably not an ordinary zombie.
Eagle Eye Scan:
[Beyond observation distance]
"Damn!"
He puts down the binoculars, looking at the several blocks between his position and the central area. Is this distance considered far? How did the Black Swan see it?
He remembers that it was flying at a low altitude at that time...
"Little Bear, wait here for me, and don't move. I'll be back soon."
Ming thinks that the Little Bear should be able to understand. After going downstairs, the Little Bear follows him at a distance, apparently understanding part of what he said. He walks forward for a while, finds another high point, and takes out the binoculars to look at the center of the district.
Scanning the police zombie with Eagle Eye:
[Hateful Oppressor Hahn]
[Five-Star King-level BOSS]
"As I thought, not an ordinary zombie~"
Ming continues to look around.
[Greedy Wall Street Wolf Ropen]
[Five-Star King-level BOSS]
"Two?"
That's okay. With Little Bear's help, they can handle two at the same time. He continues to look at other zombies:
[Frenzied Prairie Porcupine]
[Five-Star King-level BOSS]
"…"
[Brutal Chinatown Assassin Tony. Lee]
[Five-Star King-level BOSS]
"…"
[Mad Wandering Singer]
[Five-Star King-level BOSS]
"!!!"
Damn!
Ming raises the binoculars again to check, and indeed, there are five of them standing together. How on earth can he fight?
He puts down the binoculars and thinks... One minute later...
He can focus on making money and going home now.
What a joke~ This place is home now.
