Chapter 41.1: Escape Attempt [1]
【System, can low-level zombie repellent drive away fourth-level zombie?】 Wu Ye had a portal and he could leave this world any time he wanted to. However, he wouldn’t do this kind of cowardly action until the last possible moment. He had brought these people with him to fight. He was the one responsible. So, regardless of how it turned out later, he should stay with them until the last moment to keep his conscience clear.
System: 【It can’t. Low-level D-Virus repellent can only repel malignant infectee whose level is below fourth-level.】
【Then, will intermediate-level zombie repellent work?】 While communicating with his system, Wu Ye killed another zombie absentmindedly.
【Intermediate-level zombie repellent can interfere and expel malignant infectee under sixth-level.】 The system explained before kindly offering a very considerate quotation.【Each bottle of intermediate-level zombie repellent cost only 1.000 points and 2 orange crystals.】
【Shit, orange crystals again!】 Wu Ye’s heart was dripping blood when he heard it cost orange crystals. At first, he joined this operation for the sake of earning orange crystals, but now he had to spend the orange crystals he just earned; all for the sake of his group’s survival.
One had to know that in the battle just now, they only managed to earn less than 50 orange crystals after hunting and killing numerous zombies. From this fact, it was obvious how precious orange crystals were and how hard they had to work to earn it.
However, Wu Ye couldn’t care about his heartache right then as it was an emergency. So, he asked the system. 【How many intermediate-level zombie repellent is needed so the fourth-level zombie can’t sense us?】
After making a simple calculation, the system gave Wu Ye the answer.【If you only use intermediate-level zombie repellent, you’ll need to use at least one bottle for each floor. If you use it in conjunction with low-level zombie repellents, you’ll only need to use ⅓ of one bottle of intermediate-level zombie repellent and 5 bottles of low-level zombie repellent for each floor.】
The glass doors and windows in the whole apartment were not in good condition in the first place. Therefore, if they used zombie repellent, the smell would surely spread out from the building. And that would chase off the zombies nearby to a place far away from the group. Furthermore, although one mixed bottle could only neutralize body odors of more than dozens people in their group, they could still use it to erase their presence from the zombie’s senses.
This way, they could temporarily avoid the possibility of confrontation with the fourth-level zombie. They then could rest to regain their stamina and vitality before slowly planning their escape from the county.
At this moment, they had cleaned up the first floor all the way to the eight. There were twenty four floors in this high-storied apartment building and the rooftop was around 100 meters away from the ground. The higher the floor they occupied, the harder it became for the zombie to catch their body odor. This would give them a chance to catch their breath and adjust to their current situation.
Moreover, although Qingmin County was a small one, there were quite a lot of high-storied apartments and office buildings. Most of which were often around 20 to 30 floors high. Thus, if they didn’t occupy a favorable high ground to get a bird’s eye-view of the whole county, they wouldn’t be able to find the right evacuation route.
There were four houses on each floor of this apartment. And after blocking the ground floor’s entrance, no new zombies managed to enter. So, with Ji Yun’s zombie detector help, the cleaning effort was very fast and effective.
Wu Ye asked Ji Yun to take out all the crystal nuclei that was harvested by the ‘Craniotomy Robot’ and gave it to him. He then called Qin Wuhua and dragged him to an empty room to speak to him. “I’ll exchange for some zombie repelling agent right now. The intermediate-level zombie repellent combined with the low-level zombie repellent should do the trick to chase away the fourth-level zombie.”
Qin Wuhua had seen the magical effect of zombie repellent before, but he had never expected that it would be useful against the giant zombie as well. At first, he was relieved by Wu Ye’s news, but soon he became worried. “What if you’re exposed because of these things?”
If other people knew that Wu Ye had a drug that repels the zombies, Qin Wuhua didn’t know how much trouble it would bring their group. If others knew Wu Ye's real secret and trump card, wouldn’t he be swallowed whole by everyone?
