Chapter 113 Zombie Dog Ambush

Chapter 113 Zombie Dog Ambush
"Miss Cat, slow down and prepare to stop for battle. There's a B-rank zombie dog ahead, and it seems stronger than the previous one. We're in for a tough fight."

Ji Yi gave the order, and the car began to slow down.

This level of zombie is clearly beyond the capabilities of Tang Hulu's forced turning technique alone.

In Ji Yi's words, "They could smash your car to pieces with just one tooth."

A higher level of danger usually means that Ji Yi would be no match for him in a direct confrontation.

but
He has a unique way of dealing with zombie dogs.

*Puff puff puff*
After the SUV stopped, intermittent engine vibrations could be heard from the rear in the distance; it was the sedan driven by Xue Bao and his companion.

Why did they stop?

"I'm sitting in the driver's seat," said the man with the saw in confusion.

"Hmph, needless to say, they've run into zombies that they have to get out of the car to deal with. I'd like to see if these few will come crying and begging for mercy from us in a little while."

As they were talking, the sedan stopped not far behind the SUV. The two got out of the car, stepped onto the roof, and took in the view of the scene in front of them.

"Please turn around, baby! Please turn around, baby! Please turn around, baby!"

Tang Hulu and the several mouth-substitute talismans on his body shouted loudly in succession. This move was very tiring for his voice, but because of the effect of the mouth-substitute cards, the burden was greatly reduced.

Then a large, monstrous, zombie-like dog with a specialized body shape and the strength of a tiger was seen heading towards Tang Hulu in a strange, spiraling motion!

Even with severely restricted movement, the zombie dog was still incredibly fast, covering dozens of meters in an instant!

"As expected, a B-level combatant with strength comparable to a level 20 player will not be easily subdued by a few tricks."

However, Ji Yi's tricks didn't stop there.

"Little puppy! I challenge you to a duel!"

Zombie dog: "?"

Swish! Two cards appeared in front of Ji Yi and the zombie dog respectively.

"My card is the 2 of diamonds. If your card isn't a 2, you can win. Come and show your card!"

pat.

The playing cards fell to the ground from the air, and the dog stopped charging at Tang Hulu and instead tried to pick up the cards that had fallen to the ground.

But
I can't pick it up.

The zombie dog was frantically pacing around in circles, and in fact, it really was pacing around in circles!
"Hmm, it seems you abstained."

The zombie dog barked frantically, "Woof woof woof woof woof!"

[Translation: You bastard, you have no sportsmanship!]

Ji Yi: "There's no need to translate this kind of thing."

When the duel time is up, the "Fearless" effect activates.

brush--

The exorcising and demon-repelling abilities are instantly summoned in your hand. However, since you are far away from other players, their quality, effects, and other information cannot be seen by them.

However, judging from its appearance and Ji Yi's confident expression, this pair of daggers should be no less powerful than an axe.

The snow leopard gazed at the scene from afar and couldn't help but sigh, "Is this what he got by being a gigolo? It's infuriating!"

He and Xijuren only have two perfect-grade equipment each, which already makes them top players. Whether or not they have perfect-grade equipment can even be said to be the watershed between different levels of players.

Ji Yi actually has two perfect-grade weapons, plus the talisman he took, that makes three.

It's like feeding ginseng to a dog!

The saw-wielder's focus was on Schrödinger's cat. She had already noticed something was wrong when she drew the katana earlier, and now, looking at it again, the katana was indeed a perfect-grade weapon.

She's only level 14, where would she get so many perfect-grade weapons?

and.

The two people noticed something more important at the same time.

The strength of that adulterous couple seems to be far greater than they appeared to be.

Especially this woman!
[Activated Skill: Psionic Amplification]

[Skill activated: Rashly Invoking the Gods]

[Equipment effect activated: Empower Enhancement]

【Name: Hyakki Yako: The Demon Eater】

[Type: Weapon]

[Attack Power: High]

[Quality: Epic (Temporary)]

【Effect 1 "Bone Devouring": Active effect, consumes spiritual power, continuously amplifies the resentment of hundreds of demons on the blade, corroding the enemy】

【Effect 2 "Fierce": Passive effect. When "Bone Devouring" is activated, weapon sharpness is increased by 35, and the damage dealt is increased by an additional 30%】

This is a temporary, specialized amplification strategy based on the weaknesses of zombie dogs.

At the start of the battle, she had already used her [Demon Eye] to analyze the characteristics of the zombie dog, discovering that its skin was harder than diamond and also possessed excellent toughness, capable of absorbing kinetic energy.

In other words, blunt force blows are almost ineffective, and swords that are not sharp enough cannot pierce the skin of zombie dogs.

Therefore, Xie Jiayi tried to control the direction of the enhancement of the psionic glove, thinking of making it more sharp and more damaging.

The result was obvious: she succeeded.

brush--

With a swift horizontal slash, Xie Jiayi tore open the zombie dog's flesh, then quickly retreated to avoid being bitten back.

Ji Yi, on the other hand, resorted to extreme cheating, taking advantage of the "Fearless" effect, and used a dagger to slowly slice the flesh off the zombie dog.

Seemingly realizing that the skin was too tough, Ji Yi quickly changed her approach and forcefully stabbed into Xie Jiayi's open wound. Then, she secretly activated a move called "Exorcising Evil," and the light slash quietly exploded inside the zombie, almost shredding its internal organs.

The entire process was extremely cruel.

So, two and a half minutes later.

This majestic, tiger-like zombie dog was killed by the two of them working together.

Wang Meng only kept watch near the car and did not make a move.

Ji Yi released a battle report summarizing the match: "Miss Cat got MVP! Tang Hulu!"

Tang Hulu: "Brother, stop talking, there are too many people outside."

Ji Yi smiled and patted Tang Hulu: "Practice hard. When you get stronger, I'll take you to conquer the Demon Tower."

After saying that, he walked towards the zombie dog's corpse, picked up a dagger, and tried to skin it.

Soon, a large piece of skin was cut off.

【Name: Zombie Dog's Hard Hide】

[Type: Other]

[Quality: Excellent]

[Effect: None]

[Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes]

[Note: Can be used as material for forging or alchemy]

"I knew it. I should have taken some damage from that B-level zombie last time, but it was a waste."

Three skins were cut off in a row.

Ji Yi got up and left.

"Brother Ji, aren't you going to take all this skin with you?"

"What do you know? Fanged beasts can only be skinned three times."

Tang Hulu: "?"

Before the zombies could close in, the group quickly got into the vehicle, and the SUV sped off on the road again.

The snow leopard and the saw-wielding man behind them looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

Class B zombies, dealt with within three minutes.
How did you do it?
Especially that seemingly ordinary woman, she was definitely hiding her true abilities!

With the use of two self-enhancing skills, her strength was almost on par with that of a level 20 player!
So they were just treating us like laborers before!
As for Ji Yi...

His profession was strange; he used some kind of skill that made the zombie dogs show no resistance whatsoever, and they were simply beaten one-sidedly.

In short, regardless of the process.

Ji Yi and his companion's performance in killing B-level zombies was simply overwhelming, completely outclassing the Snow Leopard and the Saw-Wielding Man.

I was just in a mood to laugh at it.
Now they only feel frustrated and confused.

On what basis?

"Damn it, no matter how capable he is, he can't possibly solve the million-zombie horde!"

The snow leopard gritted its teeth in anger and jumped off the roof of the vehicle.

"Come on, let's follow! I really don't believe it, where does that pretty boy get his confidence from! Does he think he can sell his ass to curry favor with the zombie king and persuade them to retreat?" With that, Snow Leopard went straight to the driver's seat: "Let's go, let's follow them and see!"

The SUV sped along and soon drove out of the city.

Once you reach the wilderness, the number of zombies visibly decreases, and even if zombies block the road, the wide road conditions allow vehicles to easily avoid them.

At this speed, we should be able to reach the shelter in the afternoon at most.

The group of two tagalongs behind them were ignored by everyone.

"Based on the current location of the zombie army"

Ji Yi looked out the window.

"We arrived today, and we have at least three days to evacuate the people in the shelters before the zombie horde arrives."

This is the only solution he can think of right now.

Keep in mind that the sheer number of zombies, coupled with the presence of this S-rank individual controlling the zombie army, means that unless the shelter's technology can launch nuclear missiles for carpet bombing, it would be impossible to defeat them all.

Otherwise, evacuation is the only option.

Although Ji Yi knew that doing so would still result in a large number of casualties.

But the spark of the shelter can be preserved, and in the future, humanity can still rebuild the shelter.

This instance world isn't as bad as the Pseudo-Apartment, which is nightmare-level or even hell-level in difficulty.

This might be a good thing for players as well.

Ji Yi currently has a guess.

He believes that within the limited dungeon space, which consists of different alternate worlds, the impact a player has on each world will, to some extent, affect the dungeon difficulty for themselves or other players.

Simply put, by striving to make the dungeon world a better place, players will also benefit.

Of course, these are all baseless speculations, but from Ji Yi's perspective, the so-called "unnecessary step" is not necessarily a bad thing.

If he guesses right, everyone is happy; if he doesn't, at least one real world will become more peaceful and stable because of his small action.

Does this seemingly small measure include the destruction of Longyue City?

Ji Yi: "."

Oh, I almost forgot, at least you saved Kuchiba City, so let's call it even.

Stop with the nonsense and give me the driving route map.

[We are approaching another ruined city. There are many zombies ahead. We recommend taking a detour.]

The text appeared before my eyes, along with the extra time required for the detour.

After weighing the options,

He slapped his thigh.

“Miss Cat, let’s skip the cities ahead and go around them. As long as we can reach the shelter before dark, we should try to avoid direct confrontation with the zombies. After all, we don’t have many bullets left.”

"I understand, Mr. Giba. So, could you please remove your hands from my thigh?"

Ji Yi: "Oh, I took the wrong picture. No wonder it feels so smooth."

Miss Cat: "."

The vehicle quickly made a wide turn and continued driving through the wilderness.

Tang Hulu and Wang Meng seemed to have not slept well last night. After relaxing in the car for a while, their tense nerves relaxed and they were quickly overcome by sleepiness. The two of them leaned their heads against each other and fell asleep.

Ji Yi looked at the two people in the rearview mirror and felt a subtle feeling.

It seemed as if they weren't running a dungeon, but rather embarking on a unique journey.

What flashes by outside is a beautiful landscape unique to this world.

Wilderness, ruins, and the sun setting in the west.

No other film can provide such stunning and beautiful visuals.

As for the zombie crisis, Ji Yi hadn't forgotten it, but she wasn't nervous anymore. It was as if traveling between different worlds was a wonderful alternative life experience.

Sitting in the car with the air conditioning on, looking at the scenery, unaware of when death might come.

How pleasant!
[Heh, just lock the panel and throw it into a weird nightmare dungeon, and it'll behave. You'll have a good time fighting zombies.]

Ji Yi: "."

It's rare to have a good mood while running a dungeon, but that stupid Eye of Data talks too much.

Ji Yi took out three pieces of [Zombie Dog Hard Leather] and handed them to Miss Cat:
"Here you go. Figure out what equipment you want to train with. I noticed that the Snow Leopard and the other guy at that level have a bunch of junk on them, which makes you look rather shabby. I'll keep an eye out for similar items for you in the future."

Miss Cat glanced at Ji Yi, then took the bag: "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We've been through thick and thin together, so how about we meet up? Have a meal or something?"

"Do not."

Miss Cat refused decisively.

"Why? Is it inconvenient? I live in Ning'an City. Where is Miss Cat?"

A moment of silence.

".Yangnan City."

Ji Yi was surprised: "So far away? Okay, I'll take a plane to find you when I have time."

Miss Cat said calmly, "That's why I said we wouldn't meet."

"Why?" Ji Yi asked.

“I’m not good-looking, even uglier than in the game,” Miss Cat replied.

"What did Song Wanyao say last time?"

"She's lying to you. She was a fake back then, so you can't believe what she says."

Um.
Ji Yi thought it made some sense.

"It's okay, I'm not dating you, so what does it matter if someone is pretty or ugly?"

Miss Cat: "."

He didn't say anything.

Is it because of low self-esteem?

So apart from Song Wanyao, he didn't have many friends or a social life, and he lived alone.

It feels somewhat similar to my situation, except that Miss Cat's situation seems more severe, and she is more resistant to real-life social interactions.

This is a typical example of an avoidant personality caused by low self-esteem!
No.

We must do everything we can to help Miss Cat rebuild her confidence. It doesn't matter if you're ugly; you can make friends even if you're ugly!
"Miss Cat, you're amazing. Please don't be reluctant to meet me, okay? I won't mind what you look like. After all, we're comrades who've been through thick and thin together. I shouldn't have said you were ugly back in the Magic Tower."

Miss Cat didn't respond for a while before saying, "Let's talk about meeting another time."

Well, maybe it really can't be rushed.

Avoidant personality types fear rejection, and therefore feel fear in close relationships, resulting in excessive self-protective defenses.

Therefore, it is necessary to proceed step by step and conduct gradual social training.

"Mr. Giba, why did you touch my leg this time?"

"Help you train and have contact with me."

Miss Cat: "."

boom!
"Ah! Didn't you say you wouldn't hit me anymore?"

"Now you've changed your mind."

Three hours later.

After a long detour, we finally arrived at the vicinity of the shelter.

The tagalongs behind them had disappeared without them noticing; their car had run out of gas, and they didn't know when they had been left behind.
