Chapter 12. Doomsday Supermarket (11)

     I didn’t break through the physical ability as expected, but there was another new surprise.

     Ye Mo said again: “Check all attributes.”

   【Account: Ye Mo (reserve)

     Intelligence: hidden (don’t you know your IQ?)

     Spirit: 21

     Strength: 18 (best bricklayer)

     Agility: 18 (two points faster than a cat)

     Physique: 18 (bricks can’t kill you)

     Remarks: Psychic ability (level 1), free point attribute 2. 】

     Ye Mo felt like playing a game for the first time. She kept the 2 free point attributes for the time being and began to study the psychic ability.

     The main functions of physical strength, agility and intelligence are clear at a glance. Psychic power sounds illusory. At noon, after breaking through the first level of psychic power, she accidentally discovered a function of psychic power.

     Psychic perception, or also called spiritual exploration.

     At the critical moment of encountering danger, she can directly “detect” the zombies behind her.

     In the process of killing zombies, Ye Mo used this subtle perception several times to save her own and Wang Xue’s lives.

     ‘Spiritual power, also called intention in many fantasy stories, is an invisible force released by the brain of people or other creatures, which circulates to other parts of the body with the help of blood…’

     Ye Mo tried to study this inexplicable spiritual power like in various fantasy novels, she didn’t feel any blood circulation in her body, but she seemed to feel that the energy existed in the brain.

     It was like a kind of invisible power that allowed her to explore the environment about one meter around her even with her eyes closed. Her perception of static objects in the environment, such as backpacks, was not as obvious as that of living things, such as breathing person like Wang Xue.

     After about 15 minutes, Ye Mo stopped exploring because of a lack of oxygen and dizziness in her head.

     Is this the legendary superpower?

     It’s not the kind of game data, but an extremely real skill, which is really fascinating.

     Ye Mo silently recited “Zombie Crisis” three times, and finally pulled her curiosity back from the spiritual power.

……

     “Morning.” Ye Mo looked at the time, took a bag of biscuits and a cup of yogurt handed over by Wang Xue, sat up and stretched, and asked while eating, “What’s new?”

     Although the increase in mental strength can replace sleep, she still lay down for a short rest.

     Wang Xue slumped on the sofa like a boneless person, crossed her legs and trembled, “Three groups of people came to us for cooperation, including a delicate little girl, but I rejected them all. They actually tried to shake the position of this princess’s  first younger brother, which is simply unbearable!”

     Ye Mo began to organize his equipment, “Let’s go, let’s go out and take a look?”

     “Yes, Sister Jing!”

     “Too much drama.”

     I didn’t see any changes in the KTV.

     Outside the KTV, in the public area on the fourth floor, most of the zombies that couldn’t get up or were trapped yesterday were killed. It seems that yesterday was a bit too stimulating for some survivors.

     Wang Xue had just started the side quest 7 of killing 200 zombies, and Ye Mo’s next side quest 9 was to kill 1,000 zombies. There were less than 1,000 zombies on the entire fourth floor.

     No matter whether the quest could be completed or not, the two of them went to the store to clean up as many zombies as possible. While they were still weak, Ye Mo also wanted to try her ability.

     A beer bottle could easily blow up a zombie’s head, and the strength did not need to be used at full strength.

     “Kneel down!” Wang Xue was in a mess in the wind.

     When they returned to the KTV to rest, Ye Mo suddenly asked, “Xiaoxue, in addition to doing quests, have you broken through other attribute critical values?”

     “Yes, the mental attribute, agility attribute, and strength attribute have all broken through the critical values, agility attribute 3 times, strength quantity 2 times, mental attribute 1 time, and physical attribute only 1 time, Over.” Wang Xue paused, and told everything very honestly and in detail.

     Ye Mo: “…”

     Why did she only break through the critical value of the mental attribute? It seems that it took 10 attempts to reach 15.

     Is this a serious partiality?

     “Sister Jing?”

     Ye Mo came back to her senses: “When you add each attribute to 15 points in this dungeon, there will be a reward. A single breakthrough may or may not get a reward.”

     Wang Xue took a breath: “Fuck, Sister Jing, you can’t break through all the critical values.”

     “No, the critical value is likely to be based on each person’s own situation and the dungeon performance. I have two attributes whose talent potential is not as good as yours.” Ye Mo stopped there, “Also, if you continue to break through your agility attribute, you are most likely to get the reward first.”

     Wang Xue lowered her head and counted on her fingers.

     Her mental power value is only 6 points, the lowest attribute, and it is a fantasy to break through all 15.

     The physical attribute is 10 points, the strength attribute is 12 points, and only the agility attribute is 13, which is 2 points away from 15. Whether or not to break through in this dungeon depends on fate, and I may have to go to the next dungeon…

     “Pah, pah, pah, I don’t want to come to any crappy dungeon again!”

…

     When the system prompted that the time had reached the eighth day, as expected, the zombies had evolved again. Their speed, sense of smell, hearing, body hardness, and nail strength had evolved to varying degrees.

     At this time, killing zombies with the power of ordinary people is basically equivalent to a dead end.

     But the zombies have evolved some animal instincts, or demon instincts.

     For example, the instinct to take a detour.

     On the fourth floor, some zombies began to run out of the store without doors or with damaged doors. When the KTV closed, they quickly ran to a milk tea shop on the west side, where the door was the thinnest, with the smell of blood or the sound of accidental noise.

     Those who hid in the milk tea shop for a drink must be regretting it now.

     Another example is the instinct to climb stairs.

     The system reported that ten hours after the eighth day, zombies gradually appeared on the fourth floor from the lower floors.

     As long as they were not surrounded, killing them was not a big problem for Ye Mo and Wang Xue, so the two of them killed them near the KTV at intervals. Wang Xue’s purpose was to see if she could complete Task 7.

     Ye Mo wanted to accompany Wang Xue, and secondly, there were more and more zombies, and her sense of security was getting less and less. She would feel anxious if she just watched.

     There were only two of them left to kill zombies.

     Many others wanted to close the door and everything would be fine, but now Ye Mo and Wang Xue were no longer afraid of closing the door. The door was not a barrier for them, and others could not stop them.

     On the ninth day, the zombies evolved again.

     It’s not just the problem of more and more zombies on the fourth floor, nor is it just that the zombies’ speed has reached the speed of human walking. The most dangerous thing is that their purple-black nails can leave deep and shallow scratches on many solid objects, which is frightening.

     Wang Xue couldn’t help but sigh: “The main door of the food supermarket’s warehouse is made of wooden boards. If it weren’t blocked by layers of wood, it would be dangerous — I hope they can grow some IQ.”

     “…”

     With the help of Ye Mo, Wang Xue finally completed her task 6 (killing zombies 200/200), and the agility attribute finally reached 14 points. Of course, only the mental strength is still 6.

     “Hehe.”

     In an instant, Ye Mo’s mind condensed a sense of crisis that could not be ignored. She took a closer look and saw a special red-haired zombie appear in the pile of zombies in the south. Its speed was faster than that of an ordinary person running –

     It was approaching Wang Xue.

     “Back off!”
