Chapter 404: Harvest (1/2)

Gan Shuo raised his shield and blocked the incoming horrifying claw.

Dang!

The claw was as hard as the steel from the noise. If not for the shield, Gan Shuo would never dream of blocking the Swiffer's claw even if it was just stage-2.

He pushed the claw and slashed his sword toward the hand. His sword was shorter than the Swiffer's hand. He could not reach the neck. He advanced slowly, cutting the arms first, and then the head.

The sword was clearly much better than the fireman ax. It easily sliced through the zombie's skin through the flesh.

”Hah… Hah…” Gan Shuo heaved out roughly. He had entered the battle for half an hour, and he had been killing a lot of zombies with all of them being stage-2 zombies.

It was either stage-2 normal zombie or stage-2 Swiffer. No stage-3 zombies or even stage-4 zombies could reach him even though he saw a few giants that were much bigger than the stage-3 Crusher.

Gan Shuo looked up and noticed something. Gu Yingjie, the reason only a few zombies could reach was his Squad Captain. With the spear in his hand, he easily exploded the zombie's head that came near him whether stage-2 or even stage-3. It was as if the zombie's heads were a balloon to Gu Yingjie.

Meanwhile, Gu Yingjie was aware that Gan Shuo was observing him from behind, 'Since you have an extra time to daze around, what about having one more zombie to fight?'

Gu Yingjie scooped the stage-2 normal zombie and pushed the zombie to the back, toward where Gan Shuo was. At the same time, he let one stage-2 Swiffer pass him.

Gan Shuo was snapped out of his thoughts when a shadow lunged toward him from above. He immediately readied his shield forward. Since he had a shield, he had developed a pattern to fight the zombie.

Defense and counter, that was the common tactic when someone decided to use a shield. Even though it sounded easy, it was actually not. It took him a while to apply that in the real battle.

Dang!

The shield was banged by the Swiffer who reached him first. He pushed the Swiffer, and just as he was about to launch the counter, he noticed that there was another zombie.

This time it was not just one, but two zombies at once. He wisely positioned himself in a defensive stance to receive the continuous attack.

Bang! Bang!

It was not as strong as the Swiffer, but the stage-2 zombie also had great strength that could not be underestimated. His left went numb after blocking many strikes from the zombie.

He wagged the shield away, reflecting the zombie's hand. Then Gan Shuo took one big step and slashed the sword right at the neck of the stage-2 normal zombie.

The sword smoothly went through the neck as the green liquid spluttered. Some of them got on his cheek. He did not care about the disgusting liquid but readied himself for the second round against the stage-2 Swiffer.

He repeated the same course of action, making his left hand get number from the attack. Gan Shuo held it and kept pushing the Swiffer. In the third counter, he killed the Swiffer.

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained two attribute points!]

The sweet sweet notification rang in his head. This was the sixth time he heard the same notification. Meaning, he had leveled up six times in half an hour. It took him months to reach level 35, but it took him half an hour to raise to level 41.

The warm sensation flooded over him, the numbness in his left hand was now gone as his body became energetic again. Without a second thought, he allocated his attribute to Vitality and Stamina.
