Instead of going back and spending time and energy to figure out the perfect strategy for the third floor, Wang Shangqing had already arrived at the fourth floor alone and completed the preliminary detection before the survivor team took collective action.
The decorations and props on this floor, including the strange shapes of the living corpses, all tell Wang Shangqing that this is a [barber shop].
To be precise... these monsters are not actually [living corpses].
According to the information found on the third floor, the official name of those monsters should be [Dark Corpse].
Maybe it got its name because the skin color becomes darker after mutating into a monster?
Wang Shangqing didn't think deeply about this.
He defied all opinions and came to the fourth floor alone. Sure enough, he found that his [special ability] had not failed, it was just useless against those weird living corpses on the third floor.
The zombies with strange hairstyles on the fourth floor instinctively glanced at Wang Shangqing and then stopped talking to him, seeming to regard him as a [same kind] with nothing special about him.
On this floor, the scene outside the window was no different from the first three floors. It was pitch black, as if the world was shrouded in night. Even the stars and moon had disappeared, and nothing could be seen.
Quickly returning to the third floor, Wang Shangqing shared his observation results with his companions.
This time, Zhang Guangmu seemed to have lost too much energy in thinking and fighting. He was sick and did not speak.
Ma Wu, after pondering for a moment, came up with a imaginative strategy possibility.
"Based on the [experience] we have accumulated so far, almost every dark corpse on every floor has its own characteristics."
"The dark corpses on the first floor are afraid of strong light."
"The dark corpses on the second floor are hungry for flesh and blood, which will expose their fatal flaws."
"The specific characteristics of the third floor are not clear yet. We have already cleared the level violently. Judging from their performance, these [characteristics] and [inherent shortcomings] definitely exist!"
Ma Wu said enthusiastically, "Since the fourth floor is a [barber shop], is there a possibility that... as long as we ensure that we shave our heads and all of them are bald, we can avoid being attacked? Or... they are particularly concerned about the hair that they have picked off and will not notice our actions at all?"
No one had a better suggestion.
Although Ma Wu's idea sounds a bit unreasonable, but...
You won't lose a piece of meat if you test it.
Of course, in order to save time, Wang Shangqing did not accept all his suggestions. He only formed a team with the same number of members as the number of dark corpses on the fourth floor. He then used local tools from the fourth floor and after simple disinfection, shaved their heads.
Because the barber's skills were not very good, everyone in the attack team had blood marks on their foreheads from scalp shaving.
But...
The test results are promising.
Ma Wu The blind cat encountered a dead mouse and actually guessed the [route of survival] on the fourth floor.
The dark corpses on this level were not interested in hairless creatures at all. Looking at the bald survivors with blood marks still on their foreheads, it was like looking at the air.
Once you find the [route to survival], or [the secret to clearing the level], it will be much easier.
Wang Shangqing did not let everyone have their heads shaved, but directly led the attack team one-on-one. Taking advantage of the dark corpse's unpreparedness, he directly attacked from behind and won with one blow.
Fatality is certainly out of the question.
Life Force's tenacity is obvious to all. Even if it is shot in the head, it will not really die.
Therefore, his request was just to break the cervical vertebrae of the corpses or smash their brains.
Facts have proved that under the high-pressure policy and Survival Instinct, the potential of the members of the attack team was completely squeezed out.
At the critical moment, no one was left behind.
The fourth floor was captured by the survivor team without any injuries.
Then things became easier.
Thoroughly investigate the fourth floor, search for information, collect supplies and redistribute them.
But...
When the entire team was operating in an orderly manner, the already furious young lady with a long straight face suddenly widened her eyes, as if she were flashing back light, and shouted angrily, "I'm going to die! Don't ask me why, I don't know, I just have a premonition... I'm going to turn into one of those monsters! I don't want to die!"
"Quick! Find a way to save me! Not only am I good-looking, but I'm also smart. I'll definitely be useful to this team!"
"I..."
Long black-haired girl could no longer say any coherent words, and could only make a hoarse roar of "ho ho".
Her skin quickly darkened, the whites of her eyes gradually disappeared, her eyes turned blood red, drool gradually dripped from her mouth, and her teeth and nails lengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Poof!
Wang Shangqing used both arms to swing the fire ax in a circle.
Long black-haired girl, which began to distort, was eliminated with a direct headshot.
Uh-huh!
The survivors' eyes all fell on Zhang Guangmu.
This girl was infected earlier than the girl who mutated just now...
Although he dealt with it in time enough, and the wound was shallow at the time, and his immunity seemed to be stronger, but...
Dark Corpse virus It's not something that a "strong body" can resist!
In fact, at this time, Zhang Guangmu also vaguely felt that something was not quite right.
There seemed to be countless small bugs making trouble in the blood. Every time he took a breath, he felt as if there were many invisible and intangible transparent "knives" hiding in the air, cutting his lungs.
Wang Shangqing had a dark face and low air pressure. "Everyone takes action! Head to the fifth floor!"
He was already unhappy because he couldn't find any antibodies or antidote on the fourth floor. Naturally, no one would come to trouble him at this time.
With the support of Jiang Ling and Ma Wu, Zhang Guangmu followed the team to the fifth floor.
The environment here looks like an abandoned chemical laboratory, with dead bodies everywhere.
Feeling the time crunch, Wang Shangqing completely gave up on the idea of finding a way out and a trick to break the situation, and picked up an ax and started chopping.
After replenishing the bullets, Zhang Guangmu also took the Dragon Hunter Type II and began to output madly with the idea of making light and heat.
Bang! Bang! Bang! ...
Gunfire rang out.
Seeing that the Zhang Guangmu gun God of Magic was accurate, the bald members of the previously formed attack team stood in front of him, using various terrain decorations to act as shields. They did not seek to destroy the Dark Corpse, but to help him block it for a moment.
Zhang Guangmu also lived up to everyone's expectations.
The number of living corpses at this level is not that many. If Zhang Guangmu were to do it alone, he would definitely die. But under the protection of other team members, his map clearing efficiency is many times higher than that of Wang Shangqing!
Not long after...
The fifth floor was completely cleared.
The price the survivor team paid was...
Wang Shangqing had three broken ribs, and his left arm was bitten to a bloody pulp.
Apart from this, no new infected persons have emerged.
"..."
Seeing that Zhang Guangmu was in completely bad condition and looked like he might die at any time, Wang Shangqing finally gave up the idea of continuing to climb the stairs.
After some hard thinking, Wang Shangqing put forward two suggestions that sounded highly feasible, "Can I isolate virus antidote or antibody through my flesh and blood?"
"Or..."
"[Military Advisor], what's your blood type?"
"I will give you a blood transfusion directly. Maybe... I can give you some of my antibodies."
Wang Shangqing has brains, but his personal strength is too prominent, and he doesn't like to use ingenuity.
