Zombies Attack

"Alloy weapons?"

Chen Ye answered truthfully, "They were heavy and took up too much space, so I didn't bring any."

Things had already come to this.

There was no need to hide anything.

"So, you only brought these... toys?" Tang Zichen frowned, her pretty face stern. "Are you treating the secret realm like a joke?"

"Of course not. I just had some ideas I needed to test."

Chen Ye added, "My talent is so poor that even if I brought alloy weapons, they wouldn't be much use. Besides, aren't you here, Class Monitor? You're so strong. I just need to follow you."

Hearing this, Tang Zichen immediately felt like she had run into a terrible teammate and been completely duped.

However.

She was very well-mannered.

Even at a time like this, she somehow did not get angry.

"Then we'll divide the work clearly. Leave killing the Jumping Corpses to me, and everything else to you!" Tang Zichen said calmly.

Naturally, Chen Ye had no objections. "No problem!"

Afterward.

The two headed into the small grove.

The woods were not very large. Looking across them, they could see the mountain peaks on the other side.

Fortunately, they found a fruit tree in the grove.

"I remember Teacher Liu mentioning on the fourth day of school that these fruits look a lot like persimmons. They're edible, but after picking them, you need to leave them for a few days until they turn yellow. Green ones like these are mildly toxic. Eating them directly will numb the central nervous system and make your entire body stiff."

Tang Zichen looked at the fruit tree as she spoke.

Chen Ye's eyes lit up.

Old Liu had indeed introduced many fruits found in secret realms, no fewer than a hundred kinds. An ordinary person simply could not remember them all.

Yet Tang Zichen remembered them so clearly.

As expected of a top student. Her memory was incredible.

Chen Ye suddenly felt that teaming up with Tang was not a bad deal at all.

"I'll pick some."

He took the initiative to do the work.

After all, Class Monitor Tang had just said they should divide their work clearly. Picking fruit was exactly the sort of job assigned to him.

The fruit tree was not tall.

Chen Ye did not need to climb it. With his height advantage, he could easily reach the fruit.

He had just picked half a bag.

Tang Zichen, who had been watching Chen Ye work, suddenly twitched her ears and hurriedly said, "Chen Ye, stop. There's something moving!"

Her mental attribute was very high, close to twenty points, nearly twice that of an ordinary person.

And a high mental attribute meant that her five senses were stronger than others'. She could hear even the slightest rustle in the wind.

Chen Ye froze, immediately stopped, and moved behind Tang Zichen.

At that moment, Tang Zichen gripped her throwing darts in both hands. Her pretty face was full of vigilance, and her gaze was fixed tightly on the front left.

As for Chen Ye, a grown man, hiding behind her...

She had no objections.

A moment later.

Two figures appeared in Chen Ye's field of vision.

Seeing this, Chen Ye felt even more strongly that teaming up with Tang Zichen was a good choice.

Her alertness was perfectly suited for a place like a secret realm.

The ones who had suddenly arrived were two young men.

Like Tang Zichen and Chen Ye, they were probably freshmen from this year's intake.

However, one was black as charcoal, while the other was blond and blue-eyed. Both were foreigners.

Chen Ye's thoughts stirred.

Running into foreigners here meant that the teleportation locations for entering the secret realm were far too random.

People were being teleported all over the place.

He wondered just how large Secret Realm 1 actually was.

At that moment.

Chen Ye and Tang Zichen were hiding behind a large tree.

The thick trunk, along with some mistletoe growing nearby, concealed their bodies perfectly.

At the very least, the two foreigners who had come here had not noticed Chen Ye and Tang Zichen.

Very soon.

One of the Black men spotted the fruit tree and immediately rattled off something to his teammate.

Chen Ye's english was not very good, and this Black guy spoke too quickly, so Chen Ye could not make out a single word...

But it did not matter if he could not understand.

He could just keep watching the show.

The Black guy picked a green fruit and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, chewing it in huge bites.

Sure enough, there was a reason foreign countries had smaller populations.

Chen Ye suspected that this guy was missing a few screws to dare eat it straight away...

The Black guy finished off the fruit in a few bites, then gave his companion a thumbs-up.

He meant that it was edible.

And that it tasted pretty good.

His white companion was much more cautious. He did not act rashly, merely watching his companion's reaction.

A moment later.

After eating three or four fruits in a row, the Black guy's dark face suddenly twisted in discomfort.

One look at him was enough to tell that he had been poisoned.

The Black guy immediately threw away the fruit in his hand, dropped to one knee, shoved a hand into his mouth, and desperately pressed his tongue and clawed at his throat. He wanted to induce vomiting and bring up the fruit he had eaten.

His companion hurried over to help, patting his back.

The two struggled for quite a while.

At last, the Black guy managed to vomit up some pulp.

At the same time, he coughed up a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

He had probably scratched his throat open while clawing at it.

Even so, the Black guy still looked miserable, lying on the ground and unable to get back up.

Seeing this.

Chen Ye somewhat wanted to throw away the fruit he had just picked...

Just then.

A gust of sinister wind swept through.

All four people present could clearly feel the chill.

Tang Zichen's pretty face suddenly changed. She hurriedly pulled Chen Ye down into a crouch.

Then she quietly pointed to the right with a slender finger, signaling Chen Ye.

Chen Ye followed the direction she indicated and saw a pitch-black figure in the distance to the right, hopping rapidly toward them.

It was a blue-faced, fang-toothed monster wearing a tattered official uniform from the Qing dynasty.

A zombie!!

Chen Ye was slightly startled.

Seeing a zombie's savage, terrifying appearance with his own eyes was immensely oppressive.

He suddenly understood why the survival rate in secret realms was so low.

Not everyone had the courage to face such terrifying monsters!

Then Chen Ye realized that the zombie's sudden appearance had most likely been caused by the Black guy vomiting blood just now.

Only he knew that zombies could smell the aura of living people, and they were especially sensitive to the scent of human blood.

Like sharks in the ocean, they could smell the blood of wounded prey from kilometers away.

So generally speaking, girls on their periods were not advised to go swimming in the sea...

Thinking of this.

Chen Ye suddenly realized a problem.

When the girl beside him got her period, would that attract zombies too?

The zombie moved quickly by hopping forward.

It also let out low, guttural growls.

When the zombie drew close, the two foreigners finally noticed it.

"Oh my God! Shit..."

This Black guy was such a clown. Terrified, he wailed as he scrambled backward on all fours.

Unfortunately, he had been poisoned, and his limbs were extremely stiff. Apart from sending dirt flying everywhere, his body barely moved at all.

His companion hurriedly picked up his weapon and faced the zombie.

Just when Chen Ye thought he was about to witness foreigners fighting a zombie.

The white guy suddenly turned around and ran.

Leaving his companion behind...

Chen Ye could only marvel at that.
