Combat Arts I

Editor: Atlas Studios

After Zhou Chen waved the baseball bat and quickly killed some zombies, the young man who was standing on the shelf in the corner of the store found an opportunity to jump down and kill the remaining zombies.

After killing these monsters, the young man took out a few bags of instant noodles from the shelf and handed them to Zhou Chen.

"Here is your half."

Zhou Chen took the packaged instant noodles that had obvious stains and took a few glances at the shelf that had a few zombie corpses lying on it. He realized that there were not many instant noodles on the shelf, and most of them had been ruined in the previous battle. This young man had indeed given him half of the intact packaged instant noodles.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, Zhou Chen turned and left with the spoils of war. He planned to find a safe place before eating the noodles.

The young man quickly followed. Not far from the entrance of the mall, the two of them worked together to kill a few zombies who heard the sound.

"Your skills are not bad. Is your talent related to agility?"

After killing the zombies, the young man asked Zhou Chen.

"I guess."

Zhou Chen did not deny it.

"I have a plan. Are you interested?"

The young man suddenly said after reaching a secluded corner.

"What plan?"

Zhou Chen wiped the stains on the instant noodle bags with a napkin and looked at him.

"I found a place with many weapons, but there are powerful zombies guarding that place. I can't deal with them alone. If you're willing to cooperate, we can each obtain a sharp weapon."

"Alright, but let me eat these noodles first."

Zhou Chen directly agreed. The reason why he agreed was not only because he wanted a proper weapon, but also because this young man mentioned that there were powerful zombies there. Powerful zombies were likely to give him some passive skills.

The two of them quickly finished eating the instant noodles and rested for a while before quietly moving to a nearby place.

The destination seemed to be a martial arts school. From the entrance, Zhou Chen could see a ring and sandbags. There was also a weapon rack near the wall, on which were various weapons such as blades, spears, swords, halberds, and so on.

There were very few zombies in the dojo, well, there were only two. One of them was bare-handed, and the other was holding a spear. Their footsteps were very stable, and they looked clearly different from the other zombies.

"Just now, I fought with that spear-wielding zombie and suffered a loss. When I was fighting it, that unarmed zombie ignored me. So, I think that the two of us can obtain weapons by killing that spear-wielding zombie first and then killing that unarmed zombie."

The young man explained his plan.

"Aren't those weapons used for exhibition only?"

Zhou Chen expressed his doubt.

"No! That spear-wielding zombie uses the same spear. When I fought it, I found that the spearhead of its spear is very sharp and the shaft is very tough. It's definitely authentic."

"Alright, let's attack it from both sides."

At this moment, Zhou Chen had already determined that the two zombies in the dojo were not ordinary. He was determined to finish them off and gain their passive skills, while also changing his weapon.

Since there were no other zombies around the dojo, Zhou Chen and the young man walked straight in and charged towards the spear-wielding zombie.

The spear-wielding zombie was clearly not as dull as the ordinary zombies. As soon as Zhou Chen and the young man entered the dojo, it noticed them and immediately walked forward with steady footsteps. The spear in its hand was very stable, and it did not tremble at all.

The young man seemed to be trained. He quickly engaged with the spear-wielding zombie with the iron rod, and Zhou Chen followed his plan to ambush it.

Zhou Chen circled behind the spear-wielding zombie and raised the baseball bat to its head, preparing to finish it off while it was focused on dealing with the young man.

However, before his attack could land, he suddenly retreated and dodged the sudden attack before swinging the baseball bat to the side.

The unarmed zombie had attacked.

Zhou Chen had been paying attention to that zombie and did not let it leave his sight. Moreover, he had gained a strong perception, so he was not ambushed.

The unarmed zombie was quite agile, Zhou Chen's attack did not hit it. It nimbly dodged the attack and punched at Zhou Chen's head.

In the past, it would have been difficult for Zhou Chen to dodge this attack, but now, his spirit attribute was as high as 1.6 and his agility was as high as 1.4. He instantly sensed the other party's attack direction and barely dodged this punch.

Seeing that the punch had missed, the unarmed zombie immediately retreated because Zhou Chen's baseball bat was striking down.

"Help me first! I can't hold on much longer!"

Meanwhile, the young man was already at a disadvantage under the spear-wielding zombie's attack. He was in a passive situation and asked for help.

"Hold on for a while more!"

Zhou Chen could not provide any help at this moment because he had already been targeted by the empty-handed zombie. He was dragged a few meters away from the spear-wielding zombie. It was a problem for him to even protect himself, so how could he have the time to care about others?

"If I don't destroy this zombie quickly, it will be very dangerous for us."

Sensing that the situation was a little dangerous, Zhou Chen used a passive skill.

His skin suddenly darkened as he activated the corpse poison. He wiped his hand on the baseball bat and added corpse poison to it.

Then, he charged at the unarmed zombie with all his strength, wanting to use his speed to expose an opening.

However, the zombie was very agile. Zhou Chen was unable to touch it even with his explosive speed.

"Dodge this!"

Zhou Chen suddenly threw the baseball bat in his hand at the zombie's head.

The zombie did not hesitate at all when facing Zhou Chen's unexpected attack. It lowered its body and dodged.

However, Zhou Chen had already arrived in front of it and punched it in the head.

The unarmed zombie raised its arms to block Zhou Chen's fist.

Its withered tree-like arms received all of Zhou Chen's strength without even budging a bit. However, Zhou Chen's fist carried corpse poison. The black poison quickly spread from its arm, and made its movements slower.

Zhou Chen took advantage of this opportunity to circle behind him, picked up the baseball bat, and swung it back.

This time, Zhou Chen realized that the other party could not dodge like before. He hit the poisoned zombie again and again, breaking its arm. Then, after it could not block, he hit its head, sending it straight to the West.

[Passive Plunderer triggered: You have plundered the zombie's passive skill "Combat Arts I". Do you want to absorb?]

"Absorb!"

Zhou Chen immediately chose to confirm.
