Zombie Attack

"Alloy weapons?"

Chen Ye truthfully replied, "Those things are heavy and take up space, so I didn't bring any."

It had come to this point.

There was no need to hide certain things.

"So, you only brought these... toys?" Tang Zichen frowned, her pretty face serious. "Are you treating the Secret Realm like child's play?"

"Of course not, I just have some ideas that need verification."

Chen Ye added, "My talent is so poor, even if I brought alloy weapons, they wouldn't be of much use. Besides, don't I have you, the class monitor? You're so powerful, I just need to follow you."

Hearing this, Tang Zichen immediately felt like she had been tricked and was being taken advantage of.

However.

She had excellent composure.

Even like this, she still wasn't angry.

"Then let's have clear divisions of labor. You can leave the Jumping Corpse monsters to me, and everything else is up to you!" Tang Zichen said calmly.

Chen Ye naturally had no objections. "No problem!"

Afterward.

The two walked into the small grove.

This grove wasn't very large, and at a glance, one could see the mountain peak on the other side.

Fortunately, the two found a fruit tree in the grove.

"I remember Teacher Liu mentioning on the fourth day of school that this fruit is very similar to persimmons and is edible, but you have to pick it and let it sit for a few days until it turns yellow. The green ones like these now are slightly poisonous. If you eat them directly, they'll paralyze your central nervous system and make your whole body stiff."

Tang Zichen said, looking at the fruit tree.

Chen Ye's eyes lit up.

Old Liu had indeed introduced many fruits in the Secret Realm, at least a hundred types. It was impossible for ordinary people to remember them all.

Tang Zichen actually remembered so clearly.

As expected of a top student, her memory was indeed good.

Chen Ye suddenly felt that teaming up with Tang Zichen was a worthwhile move.

"I'll go pick some."

He took the initiative to do the work.

After all, as Class Monitor Tang had said earlier, they had clear divisions of labor. Picking fruit was exactly his responsibility.

The fruit tree wasn't tall.

Chen Ye didn't need to climb the tree; he could easily pick the fruit with his height advantage.

He had just picked half a bag.

Tang Zichen, who was watching Chen Ye work, suddenly moved her ears and quickly said, "Chen Ye, stop, there's movement!"

This girl had very high mental attributes, close to 20 points, almost double that of a normal person.

And having high mental attributes meant her senses were stronger than others. She could hear the slightest disturbance.

Chen Ye was startled and immediately stopped, moving behind Tang Zichen.

At this moment, Tang Zichen held her throwing darts with both hands, her pretty face filled with vigilance, her gaze fixed on the front left.

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

She didn't have any objections.

A moment later.

Two figures appeared in Chen Ye's line of sight.

Seeing this, Chen Ye felt even more that teaming up with Tang Zichen was a great idea.

This girl's alertness was very suitable for a place like the Secret Realm.

The ones who had suddenly arrived here were two young people.

They should be like Tang Zichen and Chen Ye, both freshmen from this year's intake.

However, one of these two was as dark as charcoal, and the other had blonde hair and blue eyes – all foreigners.

Chen Ye's heart stirred.

Encountering foreigners here indicated that the teleportation points for entering the Secret Realm were too random.

It was completely chaotic teleportation.

He wondered just how large Secret Realm 1 was.

At this moment.

Chen Ye and Tang Zichen hid behind a large tree.

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

At least, the two foreigners who arrived here didn't discover Chen Ye and the other.

Very quickly.

One of the black men spotted the fruit tree and immediately chattered something to his teammate.

Chen Ye's English wasn't very good, and the black man spoke too fast, so he didn't understand a single word...

It didn't matter that he didn't understand.

He could just keep watching the show.

The black man picked a green fruit and, without a word, put it in his mouth, chewing it vigorously.

Indeed, there was a reason why fewer people lived abroad.

Chen Ye suspected this guy might be missing a screw in his head for daring to eat it directly...

The black man quickly finished one fruit and gave his companion a thumbs-up.

Meaning it was edible.

And tasted pretty good.

His white companion was much more cautious, not acting rashly, just observing his companion's reaction.

A moment later.

After eating three or four fruits, the black man's dark face suddenly showed a pained expression.

Judging by his appearance, he had been poisoned.

The black man immediately threw away the fruit in his hand, knelt on the ground, put a hand in his mouth, and pressed hard on his tongue and throat, trying to induce vomiting of the fruit he had eaten.

His companion also nervously came over to help, patting his back.

The two struggled for a long time.

The black man finally managed to spit out some pulp.

He also spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm.

It was likely he had scratched his throat.

Even so, the black man still looked very uncomfortable, lying on the ground unable to get up.

Seeing this, Chen Ye...

Felt like throwing away the fruit he had just picked...

Just then.

A cold wind blew.

All four people present could clearly feel the chill.

Tang Zichen's pretty face suddenly changed, and she quickly pulled Chen Ye down.

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

Chen Ye followed her direction and saw a dark figure in the distance to the right, hopping and rapidly approaching them.

It was a monster with a green face and fangs, wearing a tattered official uniform from the Qing Dynasty.

A zombie!!

Chen Ye was slightly startled.

Seeing the zombie's ferocious and terrifying appearance up close was incredibly oppressive.

He suddenly understood why the survival rate in the Secret Realm was so low.

Not everyone had the courage to face such a terrifying monster!

Then, Chen Ye realized that the zombie's sudden appearance was very likely caused by the black man spitting blood just now.

He was the only one who knew that zombies could smell the scent of living people, and they were even more sensitive to the smell of human blood.

It was like sharks in the ocean, able to smell the scent of injured prey from kilometers away.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it was not recommended for girls to go swimming in the sea when they had their period...

Thinking of this.

Chen Ye suddenly realized a problem.

If the girl beside him got her period, would it also attract zombies?

The zombie advanced quickly with its leaps.

It also let out low growls from its mouth.

As the zombie got closer, the two foreigners finally noticed it.

"Oh my god! Shit..."

This Black guy was a total clown, screaming his head off in terror as he scrambled backward, using both hands and feet.

Unfortunately, he'd been poisoned, and his limbs were sluggish. Other than kicking up a cloud of dirt, his body hadn't moved much.

His companion quickly grabbed their weapon and faced the zombie.

Just as Chen Ye thought he was about to witness a foreigner battling a zombie.

The White guy suddenly turned and ran.

Leaving his companion behind...

Chen Ye exclaimed, "Well, I'll be damned!"
