Chapter 236 - Swallowed Alive
[TL: There is some lovely imagery in this chapter, you have been warned~]
Another player called Yuan HongJun, who was tall and lanky, had awakened an ability called [Water Source]. When compared with Wang DeCheng’s [Forage] skill, the range of Yuan HongJun’s skill to search for water sources was far wider. No matter how large or small the source of water was, within several kilometers, he could vaguely sense its location after activating his ability.
When used in concert with Wang DeCheng’s [Forage] skill, to the team it was practically two solid methods of ensuring their survival. With these two abilities, the team members no longer needed to worry about the problem of food and water.
However, currently Yuan HongJun’s ability seemed to be rather useless because the [Trembling World] had such lengthy thunderstorms and endless rain. There were lakes and pools of water of all sizes everywhere. It was currently very easy to obtain a source of water in these circumstances, so there was no need in particular to use his ability.
The third level 5 player was the team member surnamed Blue. Ever since that meeting everyone started calling him ‘Treadmill’. Everyone had already chosen to overlook what his real name was.
Treadmill had awakened an ability called [Interference]. Once it was activated zombies would overlook his existence. This allowed him to be able to move freely among the group of zombies for three minutes after activating the ability. Of course, the amount of time it was effective against a variant zombie would be brief. It could possibly only be for around ten seconds. Against an advanced zombie, it would not have any effect at all due to the difference in rank.
This ability also had an additional effect: if zombies were killed while the ability affected them, then he could absorb more black mist compared to what other people would gain.
It was another cold morning where the ground had frozen over. After eating breakfast, Liu Gan had called all six of the captured level 5 players together, and asked them about the advanced zombie. That is, the situation of the Kingler zombie. He wished to lay his eyes on this Kingler advanced zombie, it would be a speechless observation from afar.
“The monster appeared around the fifth day after we had established our camp on the coast. If it stood up to stretch out then its height would reach in excess of five or six meters, and the length of its body would reach around ten meters. In the beginning it was only crouching there silently like a boulder; once it was disturbed it opened up and revealed its fierce appearance.” Treadmill vividly gave an account of what happened.
“Even though it resembles a crab, not only could it walk sideways, it could also move forwards and backwards. Furthermore, it could rush forward swiftly, and even level 6 players would be unable to escape from its pursuit.”
“The carapace on its whole body is incomparably hard and unbreakable, and its pair of pincers are practically invincible. Regardless of what it clipped, it wouldn’t be left intact. Even a very thick iron pillar would be sliced in a flash.”
“Aside from its pincers, the legs are also extremely sharp. If you were swept by them then you would be seriously injured, if not outright dead. We tried using a thick iron chain to create a trap, and even created various other kinds of traps, but they were all incapable of trapping it. We even tried digging a pit, dousing it in gasoline and throwing in grenades. However, it was to no avail.” Treadmill concluded his account of the advanced zombie.
“That thing is simply too strong, Elder Liu, you shouldn’t go and provoke it. We reckon that a level 10 or higher player could try to hunt it. It is precisely because it appeared that we had no choice but to abandon the coastal camp and flee in a panic to the prison, where a battle broke out with you.” Another player added a few words.
