Horror game, but harem plan

If he goes up, he will probably only find rotten meat, rotten meat, rotten meat.

"It's enough. What we've gained today is more than enough. Even if we go home now, it'll be enough to get us through tonight... no, it'll be enough for tomorrow."

"You're amazing! If I were to search, I'd probably only find some rotten flesh."

"Really? I'm glad you could help me."

Chapter 9 Upgrading and Fighting

Hongxia finally smiled with genuine joy.

There are enough supplies, even a pot. Eggs and potatoes can be cooked and eaten, and there is also snake meat to eat. If you eat sparingly, you can survive until tomorrow without going out...

Yang Ming suddenly looked at Hong Xia, who was tidying up her backpack.

In stark contrast to her own random stacking, Hong Xia was making sure these supplies were neatly arranged.

He felt from the bottom of his heart that this alone was already beautiful.

"I can cook, so you can leave the cooking to me. I often cook for my sister at home, and she doesn't know how to cook... Oh! If there are any housework, I can help with it too."

Ijichi Hongxia said this.

Yang Ming looked at the bright smile, and the softest part of his heart was touched.

If there really was a girl like this who cared about him and worried about him, Yang Ming suddenly felt that he had endless energy.

The young man looked out through the glass at the street outside. The sunset was already halfway up, but had not yet fully emerged.

"call···"

Taking a deep breath, he had made his choice.

In the future, we will definitely have to plunder with the town as the center. There are more supplies here, although the danger is also greater.

But now, I am not alone.

He is no longer alone, no longer living for himself.

I have to survive with Hongxia and complete this game perfectly.

After preparing himself mentally, he opened the locked door.

"Hongxia, lock yourself in."

"I'm going to upgrade."

She was not given a chance to refute, and was left with only her desolate back, equipped with grass and wood armor, holding a blood-stained hammer, as terrifying as the savage killer in a horror movie.

But that back view actually gave me a great sense of security.

"Please be careful! Mr. Yang Ming."

"Do not worry."

Ijichi Hongxia locked herself in a small room. Although she was alone this time, she did not feel the fear of loneliness, but more worries.

Through the glass, she spotted the man walking slowly.

Without any vigilance or precaution, he just walked openly on the street, his shadow stretched very long by the setting sun, as if endless.

The dead wandering the streets found fresh prey. They roared and dragged their slow steps forward, one after another, even the corners in the blind spots of their vision appeared.

"what···"

There were too many of them. She covered her mouth with her hands, her heart aching.

"The first one."

He muttered the number in his mouth, and the sharp sound of the sledgehammer tearing through the air and the dull sound of the skull shattering exploded at the same time. The splashing bright red mucus was reflected in Hong Xia's pupils. The sticky liquid was shining in the sunset and adhered to Yang Ming's grass armor.

"The second one."

Only someone with strength far beyond that of an ordinary person could use this sledgehammer as a weapon. Although the attribute panel only described him as a milk drinker, this was just the panel's evaluation of himself.

His original strength, combined with the accumulation of skill points, has long surpassed that of ordinary people.

Yang Ming stared coldly at the zombies in front of him. There were still five zombies in front of him, but they were still some distance away. It would take about thirty seconds for them to get close to him.

On the left, two; on the right, three.

He stopped his slow approach and began to slowly back away.

The zombies on the left and right sides are closer to you, so as you retreat, they want to get closer to you and will inevitably come right in front of you.

Five meters, three meters, two meters.

The zombie closest to him has arrived right in front of him!

The sledgehammer in his hand was placed horizontally on the left side of his body, and his waist rotated, coming with a whistling sound.

The fierce wind from the hammer, accompanied by the dull sound of hitting the zombies, actually caused the heads of two zombies standing side by side to explode.

"···"

As Yang Ming's shoe soles crushed a broken rib as he dug into the fifth zombie's chest, he deliberately slowed his breathing, taking in the stench of decay seeping through the cracks in his armor. The joints of these ordinary zombies were like rusty door hinges, creaking with every turn that made his teeth ache.

[Upgrade! You have reached level 4 and have three skill points to allocate.]

Three skill points!?

Yang Ming paused for a moment. There was only one before.

This is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

He did not hesitate and had already planned his own route for skill points.

Character panel, attribute interface.

Strength Attribute Skill Tree - Skull Crusher [Specializes in using heavy weapons such as sledgehammers to destroy enemies and buildings]

Use skill points directly.

Skull Crusher [Level 1] - [Brawler]: You're quite aggressive! With luck, you can knock down zombies.

Skull Crusher [Level 2] - [Massive Hitter]: You are now a mammoth expert, but don't be too proud.

With one skill point left, he continued to invest in strength.

Skull Crusher belongs to the strength attribute skill tree. If you don't have enough strength points, you can't continue to invest skill points in this skill.

Strength: 4 [1+3] (Warmhearted): Your strength may help you avoid some disputes, but it cannot help you avoid fighting!

At the same time, the new attributes in the panel caught his attention.

[You are very thirsty, and your physical strength recovery speed will be slow]

I see. The body's reaction will be reflected on the panel.

Yang Ming indeed hadn't had water for a long time.

He looked at the remaining zombies in front of him, weighed the sledgehammer that was even lighter in his hand, and without hesitation, took the last bottle of water in his backpack and gulped it down.

The speed of physical strength recovery has returned to normal, and the time when I was out of breath after killing three in front of Hong Xia is now a thing of the past!

"Come on, come on~ Gently knock on the sleeping soul~" In front of the back that Hong Xia could not see, the young man's smile became more and more ferocious. The grass armor, the sledgehammer, and his cheeks were stained with a little blood, which made this handsome man look even more ferocious.

The arc of the hammer's swing suddenly glowed red, and Yang Ming felt his arm bones chirping happily. The power brought by the upgrade was like magma surging in his blood vessels. The hammer handles that originally required both hands to hold were now as light as willow branches in his right palm.

"The eighth one!

The moment the hammer struck the zombie's left shoulder, Hong Xia witnessed an incredible scene—the body, like blasted sand, began to disintegrate radially from the point of contact. The flying bone fragments traced bloody parabolas in the setting sun, embedding themselves precisely into the eye sockets of the three zombies behind.

"twelve!

When the last zombie's head exploded under the hammer, Yang Ming placed the hammer head on the ground, supported the handle with both hands, and looked at the tragic scene in front of him with excitement.

The battle ended, leaving only corpses and blood piled up in the streets.

Chapter 10: Deviations between Prompts

My combat power has been updated, and I can now face more than ten zombies alone. The feeling of fatigue still exists, but this level is still a long way from being exhausted.

If there are at least ten zombies in the residential house, you can handle it yourself.

This is good news, as it means that your looting options are expanded and you can also get more supplies.

In his eyes, these zombies are no longer a terror that can threaten him, but an experience package for a better tomorrow!

After retracting the sledgehammer and disarming himself, Yang Ming took a last deep breath. His intense heartbeat calmed down, and he turned back to the cabin, waving to Hong Xia behind the door.

Yidi Zhihongxia opened the door and ran to Yang Ming, putting her hands on her chest.

Her expression showed relief, but also worry that could not be hidden. The little girl thanked the young man from the bottom of her heart, and the gratitude in her heart was difficult to express.

In the end, she held back the criticism she was about to say... and told him not to take such risks again in the future.

Her smile is more refreshing than the morning nectar.

"I've been waiting for your triumphant return, Mr. Yang Ming."

"But you still have to pay more attention to your safety in the future! I'm really, really worried about you!"

No, I can't help it, I absolutely can't help it, Ijichi Hongxia finally said it out loud.

Yang Ming felt that all his fatigue was swept away, leaving only a faint joy.

We didn't stay in this cabin for too long. It was only one story high and was located on the edge of town. The environment at night would be more dangerous than during the day, so it wasn't a suitable shelter.

Carrying Hongxia, he walked quickly on the road. The sunset had turned blood red, and time was about to enter the dark night.

The journey was safe and sound. The zombies on this road have basically been cleared out. Unless there are zombies wandering over from other places, the safety level is very high.

Arriving at Jennifer's House, Yang Ming took Hong Xia into the gate, which was left with only a wooden frame. He turned to face the door and silently recited the backpack space in his mind.

As the palms of the hands were aligned, two square wooden blocks were placed there, blocking the empty door so that not even light could get in.

"this is···?"

"Well, building blocks made of wood,"

"So this is what it looks like. I thought it would be made of wood."

Hongxia touched it curiously and found it had the rough texture of wood, similar to the various blocks in Minecraft.

"Take out the stone axe."

With her eyes slightly closed, a stone axe made of a stone and a wooden stick tied together with grass appeared in Hong Xia's hand.

【Stone Axe】: A primitive tool that can be used for chopping wood, mining, repairing and upgrading walls, doors and windows.

"Then you hit it with a stone axe, but don't think about destroying it, but rather about repairing or upgrading it."

"Let me try."

He took the wood handed over by Yang Ming and knocked the stone axe lightly on the building block.

A magical thing happened. After jumping out and losing seven pieces of wood, the building blocks in front of him turned into dark brown wooden blocks.

"Then you take your stone axe and smash it with the intention of destroying it."

"it is good."

Ijichi Hongxia began to understand his intention. Perhaps this was the basic rule from this world that he had experimented with before.

【Wood Block】485/500

——Does this mean... the health of the wooden block has been reduced?

"I arrived three days earlier than you, so I know a little more about the basic settings of this place. First of all, this is a world full of zombies. As you can see, there are no living people other than us."

Hongxia nodded.

"Next, there's the so-called survival game we participated in. Remember the hint it gave? You can see it when you open the properties panel."

The two people opened the attribute panels and compared them with each other.

It didn't take long to discover the anomaly of this sinful and deadly survival game.

First, Hongxia’s clearance conditions are different from mine. Mine are 30 days, while hers are 28 days.

The coincidence of the clearance conditions is intriguing.

Second, there are tips about this [7 Days to Die] game.

[Hint 1: Fighting is necessary to survive]
