Chapter Thirteen: The Bitter Battle on the First Floor

  P.S. I just found that Chapter 9 was missing, it has been revised now, so I'll add an extra chapter to make up for it, sorry about that everyone, hope you can all give me more support, thank you...

  ——————————

  Tang Tian led a group of eight people to the staircase leading to the first floor, but since it had been blocked by tables and chairs last night, they had to move them away and clear the path with some effort.

  After all the tables and chairs were moved away, Tang Tian called others to stay on the second floor first, and he went down to the first floor to observe the situation.

  The canteen of Tianshui University, the first floor is a place for children from ordinary families to have meals. There are no private rooms or anything like that, just one dining hall and three windows for getting food.

  Tang Tian arrived at the first floor and got a clear view of the situation on this floor.

  There were over three hundred zombies wandering around on the first floor, and Tang Tian had activated his True Eye, obtaining basic information about these zombies.

  These two to three hundred wandering undead, the lowest are all level one, among them at least one in ten is a level two undead, so far Tang Tian has not found any level three undead.

  Tang Tian was shocked at this sight. In just one night, the world had changed beyond recognition, and these zombies had become incredibly powerful.

  It was only yesterday that these zombies were all at level zero. Tang Tian had no way of predicting how fast these zombies would evolve, no wonder the prompt in his mind at dawn said that those who lost their best strengthening opportunity due to fear yesterday would find it very difficult to survive in this world.

  The evolution of the zombies disrupted Tang Tian's plan, originally he still wanted to bring those people upstairs to kill some zombies and let them strengthen themselves, but looking at the current situation, letting them deal with the zombies would only send them to their deaths, so under duress, Tang Tian retreated back to the second floor.

  Looking at the eight people in front of him, Tang Tian sighed and said: "Now it's troublesome, there are probably over three hundred zombies downstairs, and each one is above level one, which is not something you can handle."

  "What should we do?" Shen Yun asked anxiously.

  As a beautiful girl, in this doomsday world without certain strength, she can imagine the future outcome, so she wants to get stronger in her heart, which can change her fate, but now Tang Tian brought such news, how can he not be anxious.

  Others and Shen Yun's mood were basically the same, they all looked at him with eager eyes after hearing Tang Tian's news.

  Tang Tian pondered for a moment before saying, "For now, the only way is for me to think of a way to eliminate some of the zombies, then cripple them and let you all kill them. That way, you can also get strengthened."

  Tang Tian thought of a way that wasn't really a solution, wanting to expand his own power, but now the only thing he could rely on was himself.

  "Thinking of this, Tang Tian immediately said: 'You all temporarily stay on the second floor, I'll go downstairs to hunt and kill zombies, after that I will call you down'".

  He who says it does it, Tang Tian is not a procrastinator either, he said and turned around to go downstairs.

  In fact, Tang Tian was also anxious in his heart, there was no way out, these monsters were evolving too fast, if he didn't strengthen himself as soon as possible, let alone lead these people to achieve something, even his own survival would be very difficult.

  "Once again at the first floor staircase entrance, Tang Tian ordered: 'Xiao Ying, go and lure one over'."

  Having received Tang Tian's order, the ghost assassin quickly materialized from behind Tang Tian and rushed out, arriving at the back of a zombie closest to him. With a swift motion, he stabbed his dagger into the zombie's heart.

  Originally, as a ghost assassin, his attributes were several times higher than those of ordinary people at level one, and in the case of a sneak attack, he could kill zombies with a single blow from a dagger. However, since he received an order to lure monsters, he did not do so.

  Ahhhhh!!!

  The zombies attacked quickly pursue the ghost assassin.

  The ghost assassin retreated behind Tang Tian's back, and at this time, Tang Tian was exposed in front of the zombies.

  Facing the first-class zombie rushing towards him, Tang Tian quickly drew out a replica of the Jin Yiwei's dagger and slashed at the zombie's neck, attempting to behead it with one knife.

  Pfft!

  The idea was good, but since the zombies had evolved, the corresponding action was a bit faster than at level zero. As a result, Tang Tian's knife only managed to chop off half of the zombie's shoulder instead of beheading it.

  With a swift sidestep, Tang Tian dodged the zombie's outstretched hand and countered with another slash at its neck.

  With a crack, the zombie's head flew off his neck like a ball, but there was no scene of blood splashing everywhere, just a little black blood flowing out from the zombie's neck.

  The zombie fell to the ground, a burst of light and several spirit coins dropped out. Tang Tian picked up the spirit coins, after the white light entered his body he took note that this level of zombie had given him 20 experience points.

  Things are easier once they've started, Tang Tian hid in a place far away from the zombies, and had the ghostly assassin lure them over. Perhaps it was because the ghostly assassin was a creature from hell that as long as he didn't actively attack the zombies, the other zombies wouldn't bother him.

  As the zombies were lured and killed one by one, Tang Tian also found a pattern. No matter how these zombies evolved, they couldn't change the fact that their bodies were stiff, so as long as he concentrated his energy, it was still easy to dodge them.

  Having mastered the zombies' attack method, Tang Tian simply had Xiao Ying lure two at a time to quickly eliminate them.

  After annihilating the zombies, the things that burst out were all thrown into the storage ring by Tang Tian without even looking at them, and they would be counted one by one after everything was over.

  Roar! Two more zombies pounced on Tang Tian, who dodged to the right as usual and swung his imitation Jin Yiwei saber at the zombie's neck on the right. However, just then, the one on the left suddenly accelerated and pounced in front of Tang Tian before he could react.

  Rip! The zombie's claws easily tore open Tang Tian's outer clothes.

  "You were attacked by a level 3 zombie."

  Attacked, Tang Tian was caught off guard and his chest hurt like it was on fire, but the new gloves inside his clothes were not torn by the zombie's claws. He retreated a few steps quickly and activated his True Eye, obtaining information about this zombie.

  "Level 3 zombies, based on the strength of level 2 zombies, are twice as fast as level 2 zombies."

  Tang Tian had no idea that this zombie was level 3, and in a moment of carelessness, he almost suffered a disaster. Suddenly, his heart was filled with fear, and if it weren't for the new clothes on his body, he would have probably become meat in the zombies' mouths by now.

  He had been killing first-level zombies before, if the first-level zombie was only twice as strong as the zero-level zombie in all aspects, then this third-level zombie's speed was at least three times that of the first-level zombie.

  Tang Tian's heart was still racing with fear, and he didn't dare to be distracted. As the third-level zombie pounced again, he rolled forward, dodging its attack and landing behind it. Before the zombie could turn around, Tang Tian swung his knife and beheaded it. He then sidestepped to avoid a first-level zombie's claw and took care of it with ease. Only then did Tang Tian let out a sigh of relief, still feeling fearful.

  "I was too careless, although these zombies aren't a big threat to me, I still need to be careful in dealing with them, or else I might suffer a blow if I'm not careful."

  After resting for a bit, the pain in his chest eased up. Tang Tian took notice and suddenly felt a thrill of excitement because this third-grade zombie had given him a full 100 experience points. Moreover, it also dropped a white treasure box and over ten Spirit Coins.

  After putting away these things, Tang Tian started hunting zombies again.

  Adding up the experience from killing zombies before, Tang Tian's experience had already reached 640/1000. If he continued like this, it wouldn't take long for him to level up to level four.

  Then Tang Tian was filled with energy.
