Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 3: The Zombie's Enthusiasm Surges Like a Tide

Zombies, or zombies, are the first type of monster enemies that everyone who first enters the Demon Village needs to face.

The cemetery where Cheng Tian and his companions are currently located is the refresh point for these resurrected people. A zombie without reason that will only instinctively attack all living things may crawl out of each grave.

As soon as Qingpi finished the guidance and left, the players officially started their journey to Demon Village, and the countdown for the main quest also started, so naturally they had to start killing monsters together.

Looking at all the action-adventure games on the entire Famicom platform, Ghosts 'n' Gaming is one of those games that spawns a very large number of monsters, and it doesn't give players any breathing time. Monsters are spawned at every moment, and it's the most ferocious monster spawning method that never stops.

Just as Qingpi said, the danger level of Demon Village is already so high that it should not be assigned to novices.

It took the zombies less than 10 seconds for one hand to break through the soil and the whole body to completely drill out of the grave. The small hill where there were originally only a dozen timid players now had the same number of zombie monsters.

The bodies of these zombies are so severely decayed that their joints can only be described as "broken lotus roots connected by threads". Maggots can even be clearly seen crawling around their ears, mouths and eye sockets. However, these corpses that are obviously unable to move normally have gained the ability to move again under the drive of evil forces, and they have great resentment and hostility towards all living people.

In response, some people swung their knives and attacked, some stood there in a daze, and some panicked and ran away.

The unlucky college student who had become one-eared because he was used as an example by the Qingpi to establish his authority had his head wrapped in a blood-soaked cloth torn from his own clothes.

But what was unexpected was that instead of completely distancing himself from Qingpi, when Qingpi agreed to lend him money, he immediately covered his ears and put on a stern face and moved closer.

The young man's face couldn't hide too many emotions. One could see that he had a mixture of fear and hatred towards Qingpi, but that didn't stop him from exchanging his talent information for a very simple axe.

Qingpi was also a little surprised at the time, but he still gave the axe to Yi'er. He even expected the young man to be a little brave and give him an axe as soon as he got the weapon.

It was a pity that the veins on the back of Yi'er's hand, which was holding the axe handle, were bulging out. In the end, he held his anger and honestly left the crowd, whispering with his roommate shoulder to shoulder.

"Die to me!!!"

I saw Yi Er holding high the one-handed axe in his hand and chopping it heavily at the zombie that had just crawled out of the grave halfway. It was obvious that he was venting his anger and hatred that he didn't dare to vent towards Qingpi.

At this time, you can see that a ray of light suddenly appears on the surface of the one-handed axe held high by one ear.

[Chopping Wood: E-Rank Talent/Lv1, Talented Skill, Active Skill. Having practiced this art for ten years, you possess a considerable talent for chopping wood.]

When holding a hatchet or axe, you can consume 3 MP to perform a fatal slash on the target, increasing weapon damage by 10% and adding a medium chance of "bleeding" or "broken limbs." This skill has a 100% bonus to all effects against ancient trees, treemen, and tree spirits. The cooldown is 15 seconds.

Before the zombie, whose health was already low, could even let out a hoarse roar, an axe chopped it from the top of its head to its hips, splitting it perfectly in two.

A sharp enough axe + a fragile enough body + skillful enough force = a perfect enough kill.

As a child from the mountains, he was quite experienced in chopping things with an axe, and this axe, which was obviously heavier than his usual hatchet, was also easier to use than he had imagined.

I have to say that this Qingpi is quite authentic. The cold weapons he uses to lend money are not ordinary industrial products, but equipment props from other copies.

The axe in Yizier's hand is a blank weapon from one of the major equipment-producing dungeons, the PC game "Diablo II".

【手斧：白色普通/Lv1，单手斧。装备需求，无。武器伤害3-6。耐久28/28。】

This chopping blow not only triggered the maximum damage of the weapon, but also triggered the "broken limbs" special effect, killing the zombie, which was not very strong to begin with, on the spot.

However, while he got the first kill on the monster side, his left ankle was suddenly pinched by a zombie hand with a finger missing.

In just a moment, all the hairs on the ear stood up.

However, what one ear can do does not mean that others can do it.

A sufficient number of novice players means that the zombies' attack targets will be dispersed, and more importantly, not everyone has the courage to face the rotting corpses like this ear holding its breath.

The previous calm was only due to the deterrent power of Qingpi. Now there is no external interference or suppression, and no leader who can integrate everyone has emerged, so the inevitable result is that everyone will be in disarray.

The half-drunk old man was the first to fall to the zombies' mauling. As he'd initially muttered, he'd drunk at least a pound of white wine and two dozen beers before being chosen. Even though the gunfire had briefly sobered him up, and his speech was indeed crystal clear, there was still a slight delay between his body and brain.

The brother can indeed hold his liquor quite well, but his cerebellum, which has been paralyzed by alcohol, doesn't care about what you say.

However, the zombies that looked weak and frail actually contained evil dark magic in their bodies that was enough to drive rotten corpses to move. Even Arthur's magic knight armor could be broken into pieces with one blow, let alone ordinary people who had no protection at all?

Faced with the zombie's claw attack, the half-drunk old man, who was unable to change his weapon, instinctively raised his hand to defend himself.

The claw attack was blocked, but the brother's arm, whose muscles could not be seen under the long sleeves, suddenly twisted in the opposite direction, which clearly meant that it had been broken!
This pain was clearly no longer something that alcohol could withstand.

And then naturally, nothing happened next. The zombie's teeth had already bitten into the neck of the brother who screamed in pain.

The brother's talent is actually quite good. It is called "Drunkenness", a D-level passive skill that allows him to reduce his own pain after drinking, increase the probability of physical critical strikes and resistance to mental shock, and restore a small amount of blood. It is a very useful talent in the early dungeons where there is a lack of recovery means.

Especially the attribute of resistance to mental shock is a rare attribute in the D-level talent and skill pool. It is no exaggeration to say that it has a promising future.

It's a pity that his long-term alcoholism has caused his physical condition to deteriorate year by year, and judging by the momentum of the zombies rushing towards him and biting him, it is estimated that it won't be long before he will look like the dead Arthur.

The girl was holding a white baseball bat from the MD Sega platform's "Streets of Rage III" in her hand. When facing the zombie attack, she screamed loudly and high-pitchedly, while swinging the bat around randomly.

For zombies, the impact of light blunt weapons is far less effective than that of serious sharp weapons. The result is self-evident.

At the moment of being bitten, the girl screamed an octave higher, and then cried out "Save me, save me" one voice weaker than the other, but no one could care about her at all now.

The two mentioned above still had some defensive and resistance actions, but quite a number of people made even more wrong decisions in panic.

As many as six people took advantage of the opportunity when the zombies were bitten by the half-drunk old man and the baseball girl and were bleeding all over, and slid down the hill clumsily along the earth slope with a height difference of about 5 meters but a shallow angle, trying to find a way to survive in a more empty cemetery. However, what was waiting for them was the grave monster spawning triggered by the chain reaction.

And it wasn't just the zombies that broke out of the ground. Several red-eyed crow monsters squatting on tombstones and dead trees also joined the ranks of attacking the players after making hoarse cries.

Zombies are not completely without weaknesses. Their limbs are stiff and they are not good at turning. They use tombstones as cover to frequently switch routes, so they may have a chance of survival.

...and the red-eyed crow, with its beak as sharp as a knife, is difficult to dodge.

The hoarse cries of red-eyed crows, the screams of zombies, and the shrill screams of humans began to intertwine and circle over the cemetery.

The whole team was wiped out in an instant.

However, at this moment, a very rapid and abrupt sharp explosion of air suddenly sounded.

Snapped!
The zombie, whose half body was still in the grave, unexpectedly pulled One-Ear to the ground. Half of its body was already lying on it, and it opened its rotten teeth and was about to bite the terrified One-Ear. Suddenly, its body stopped, and then its head was completely separated from the body, and it rolled 360 degrees onto One-Ear's face.

Not far from Yizhu'er's side, Cheng Tiancheng once again raised the long whip that he had obtained from somewhere and swung it hard.

Snapped!
This time, what exploded was a red-eyed crow with a beak as sharp as a knife, ready to swoop down and hurt people!

At this moment, Cheng Tian, ​​who killed two monsters with two whips, had eyes that were frighteningly bright.

In the personal message log that only Cheng Tian could view, this message appeared on the screen.
