NOVEL WEB Chapter 595: First Battle with Corpse Brother
Chapter 595: First Battle with Corpse Brother
"OK, I finally copied the map." Martin stood up and patted his butt, then found Conan staring at the computer: "What is the great detective doing? Are you secretly watching something unhealthy on the Internet?"
I remember that the internet was not cleaned up in 12, and obscene content could be found everywhere. You could just search it on Baidu.
"I... I didn't see anything." Conan hesitated and looked like he was caught sneaking around. He hurriedly turned off the computer and jumped off the stool: "Then let's go and investigate the water source."
“……” Ayumu Aikawa’s expression was somewhat complicated.
Because he worked with Martin on copying maps, he clearly saw that after Martin opened the teacher monitoring software on the computer, he could view all the computer screens through a 20×20 array. Although there was only a small area of the screen and the details could not be seen clearly, Martin could see roughly what Conan and Gin were doing.
By the way, it seems that the kids didn’t see anything embarrassing.
"According to the normal procedure, I should lead the newcomers to collect some self-defense weapons in the school, such as fire axes or something..." The normal procedure that Aikawa Ayumu mentioned was actually the one he went through as a newcomer: "But I see that everyone... doesn't seem to need it anymore, right?"
"And you can hardly find fire axes in elementary schools in China." Martin led the way out of the computer room: "The fire extinguishers are likely to be expired."
"Well, let's just leave this school." Conan, the decision maker of the team, said: "First, we should look for a chemical plant or pharmaceutical factory nearby and find some protective clothing that can isolate the virus."
Conan was reluctant to leave as he had only watched half of the plot, but he had to leave now. If other people found out that they could search for 'Edogawa Conan' on the Internet, and Gin found out that he was Kudo Shinichi, it would be a big deal.
Compared to Conan, what Gin does through the Internet is much simpler. He just keeps reading the news and comparing the similarities and differences between this world and the world he is familiar with. In addition to the zombies, the names of many countries have changed, such as Japan is called Dongying; then Dongying's power structure is obviously centered on the emperor and the royal family; and most importantly, this world has the concepts of "cultivators" and "experts".
Since there are strong humans in the background, the upper limit of the zombies' strength must be terrifyingly high.
However, Gin did not tell his teammates about this.
The Transformer Cluster Team decided to leave the school and head to the nearest chemical plant to collect equipment. It happened that the sun was setting when they appeared in this world. Now that the sun has set, Ayumu Aikawa's movements are no longer restricted by the sunlight.
In fact, Aikawa Ayumu was not the kind of zombie that would die upon contact with sunlight. He would just feel very painful. Even if he stood in the sun for a whole day, he would just become a dried human body... or a mummy?
When they were almost at the school gate, Martin, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and reached out to stop his teammates: "Something's going on!"
Although the three teammates stopped this time, they no longer took a guard posture like last time. Conan also asked: "What's the situation? No red scarf or school uniform?"
"I have to tell you three times that the wolf is coming. Your trust in me is disappearing so quickly." Martin complained: "The great detective still remembers to wear a red scarf?"
"It's written on the 'Code of Daily Conduct for Students' hanging on the wall in the classroom." Conan read it silently while everyone was still in the classroom, and now he can remember at least 80% of the content.
"Great! I only look at that stuff when I'm daydreaming during exams, and I never remember it. You've surpassed 99% of the elementary school students in the country." Martin joked as he pulled out Van Helsing's weapon, a crossbow with a steam engine. "But unfortunately, the wolf is really here this time."
Others now also saw that a glowing object appeared from the opposite side of the playground and was approaching this side while swaying from side to side. When it got closer, they found that it was a flashlight shining on the ground.
"Human? A survivor who hasn't evacuated yet?" Conan guessed, subconsciously wondering if the team could help this person evacuate.
"Unfortunately, no, at least not now." The other party had actually entered Martin's crossbow range a long time ago, but he was waiting for his teammates to see the thing clearly in the night: "I think they forgot to call the night watchman Zhang when they evacuated."
In fact, the old man on night watch that Martin mentioned was equivalent to a night shift security guard. At this time, Conan turned on the night vision and telescopic functions of the tracking glasses and saw clearly that the swaying light spot was a monster in the shape of an old man, wearing a military coat, camouflage pants and Liberation shoes, but with claws on his hands and fangs in his mouth, and a tentacle like an anglerfish growing on his head, with a patrol flashlight wrapped around the top of the tentacle.
"This is Brother Corpse?"
"Moreover, it is the lowest-level corpse brother that has never eaten humans. The main god space is specially provided for us to practice." As he said, Martin simply pulled the trigger, and the silver crossbow arrow flew towards the corpse brother of the night watchman.
The unintelligent low-level zombie brother did not dodge and was directly pierced on the forehead by the crossbow arrow, and staggered backwards due to the impact force.
But that was all. After regaining his balance, Corpse Brother staggered towards them again. This time he was much faster, with red light in his eyes. It seemed that the arrow had aroused his ferocity.
"It seems that silver weapons are useless against them." Martin said regretfully. Of course, this is not surprising. After all, the zombie brothers and the dark creatures in Europe and America are completely different systems.
The zombie brother came running over, mumbling incoherently as he ran: "What are you doing here so late... stealing things... eating... eating you." Although he is a zombie, his brain may still retain some memories of his previous life. The higher the level of the zombie brother, the closer his thinking is to that of his previous life, but he is still driven by his cannibalistic instinct as a zombie brother.
Aikawa Ayumu was about to take action, but Martin stopped him: "Don't rush to grab points from the newcomer."
Aikawa was stunned for a moment, then realized that this corpse brother was just right for training newcomers. Of course, the newcomers were Conan and Gin, and Martin in front of him looked like a senior in disguise.
In fact, Martin doesn't need to worry about Gin. Martin is only worried that Conan will mistake the corpse brother for a living person and not be able to kill him.
However, Martin's worries seemed to be unnecessary. With a whoosh, Conan's football with lightning special effects flew straight towards the zombie brother's head, and then the night watchman zombie brother's head disappeared.
"Hey, hey... I still have to retrieve my crossbow arrow." Martin complained. His crossbow arrow was stuck in the zombie brother's forehead. He had originally planned to pull out the arrow and retrieve it after defeating the zombie brother, but after Conan kicked him, both the arrow and the zombie brother's head disappeared.
"So amazing..." Ayumu Aikawa's eyes widened. He thought that the kid who was only a beginner in fighting was the weakest among them, but he didn't expect that he could actually fire a 'light cannon'. Even if Ayumu Aikawa transformed into a demon girl, he couldn't fire a cool and powerful skill like 'light cannon'.
Could it be that all the newcomers in this round are big names?
Conan, the instigator of all this, was also dumbfounded: "Gone, gone?"
In his own world, the prisoners who were directly hit in the face by Conan's football were just knocked unconscious, not to mention death or disability, and even minor injuries were not considered in the forensic appraisal. However, the physical strength of people in other worlds is obviously lower than that of humans in his world.
Conan felt a little scared. If he had attacked a living person with the intention of subduing someone, he would have killed someone. Fortunately, the target was just a corpse.
"Great, little brother Conan." Ayumu Aikawa still remembered his responsibility as a senior guide: "Now check your panel and you will see that your points have increased a little."
"Oh..." Conan did as he was told, but then said in confusion: "No, my points are still 0."
"How could that be?" Ayumu Aikawa was puzzled. In Resident Evil, one could get 3 points for killing the most common zombie. Could it be that the zombie just now was even inferior to ordinary zombies?
When Conan was about to share his panel again, Aikawa Ayumu's face suddenly changed: "Be careful!"
When Conan turned his head, he found a sharp claw very close to him.
The corpse brother, whose head had been removed by Conan, began to move like a headless cockroach. Some strip-shaped tentacles made of flesh and blood popped out from its neck, and it pounced over and slapped Conan with one claw.
"500%!" Aikawa Ayumu shouted, and instantly came to Conan, punched him in the face, and knocked the headless corpse away.
In the setting of Ayumu Aikawa, as a zombie he can remove the body's self-protection function and exert strength that would cause harm to ordinary people. The highest was 1000% before entering the main god space, and now it is 2500% after his bloodline enhancement.
Then a figure flashed out, and Gin appeared in the air above the corpse brother who was knocked flying. He raised his leg high and chopped down in the air, directly splitting the corpse brother into two halves.
Originally, when the night watchman corpse brother approached, Gin had no intention of attacking him and exposing his strength, but after hearing Aikawa Ayumu say that there would be points for killing the corpse brother, Gin immediately took action.
But... "No points." After confirming the panel, Gin looked at the corpse on the ground again and found that both halves of the corpse were twitching. They obviously still looked "alive" but just couldn't get up.
"There seems to be a saying in the forum that the zombie brother has a very strong vitality, but there are not many comments on it." Martin recalled, took out the kerosene that demon hunters use to burn monsters and travel, poured it on the struggling zombie brother, and then used a flint to ignite it.
As the corpse brother was burned to charcoal, Gin and Conan both discovered that the points on their panels were no longer 0. Conan's points were 2 and Gin's points were 3.
"I only got 1 point." Martin complained: "Burning it is effective damage, right?"
"I don't even have 1 point." Aikawa Ayumu, who only assisted with a punch, said regretfully: "By the way, I would like to remind you that the cheapest D-level bloodline costs 2000 points or more."
