Chapter 3: Gathering Strength
The three skeletons turned their skulls stiffly and looked at the target with empty eye sockets.
After discovering the zombies, he ran down the stairs and killed them.
Two bare-handed skeletons, one entangled with the other, stood on the side with the sword-holding skeleton, slashing at the zombies with the iron sword in their hands.
Wu Heng also stepped forward, his shield blocking the outstretched claws and the splattered blood.
The short spear in his hand penetrated the hollow skeleton and stabbed the zombie's body randomly.
One after another, he repeatedly made stabbing movements.
The reason why he chose the short spear was because it was his only choice after trying it.
It is very difficult to shoot a bow and arrows, and the accuracy of arrows requires long-term practice. It is not something ordinary people can do to shoot arrows frequently and maintain accuracy.
Swords are the most common weapon in Blackstone.
But when he tried it, he almost got his neck wiped, so he still listened to the blacksmith shop owner's advice and chose a short spear.
Stabs and blows can also have good lethality.
As a beginner, it is relatively easy to get started and will not hurt yourself.
Soon, the two zombies that were attracted were killed together, and they fell to the ground in a bloody state, looking miserable.
Wu Heng actually knew all these zombies.
They are all neighbors who live in the same corridor.
But now they have become enemies.
Release the 'Bone Skeleton Technique' and the two skeleton warriors stand up again.
Seeing that there were no zombies rushing towards him, he thought for a while and then ordered.
"Go back with me!"
He turned around and returned to the room with the skeleton.
The security door was closed, and Wu Heng sat on a chair to recover his strength.
Even though the main battles were carried out by skeleton warriors, the highly tense spirit and the consumption of physical strength made him feel tired.
In terms of attributes, his strengths are not physical strength and strength.
But the only ones that can be used now are ordinary melee attacks.
After resting for a while, Wu Heng entered the kitchen and found a kitchen knife, a fruit knife and a hammer. He handed them to three of the skeletons. There was one left. He couldn't find anything useful, so he used a mop as a skeleton. Improvised weapons.
In fact, a kitchen knife is a good choice.
It can completely replace the main weapon of the skeleton warrior.
When you have money in the future, you can consider buying iron swords from Blackstone Town to equip the skeletons.
After almost resting, Wu Heng stood up again and prepared for the next battle.
...
Back in the cold corridor, there was a sticky feeling of flesh and blood under my feet.
"You guys are walking ahead of me." Wu Heng pointed to the three skeletons.
Three in front and two in back, protecting him in the middle, they walked downstairs together.
The door of a room on the second floor was open. I took the skeleton in and took a look, but found no zombies.
The head of the household is the zombie who was killed just now.
I went to the kitchen and found two kitchen knives to replace the mop and fruit knife.
Continue walking towards the first floor.
He cautiously took a look around the corner.
The green stair door was a bit miserable, but it was still closed, blocking the outside and the inside of the stair.
You can still vaguely hear the sound of scratching the door panel.
Fortunately, the door is closed, otherwise it would be difficult to fight if the zombies outside rush in.
Command the skeleton warrior to pile some debris at the door and completely seal the stair door.
Anyway, the possibility of using it in the future is unlikely.
After all the blockades were completed, Wu Heng started his next plan.
When he came to the door of the first resident, he took out the bronze key and twisted it gently, and the door was opened slightly.
A pale white light curtain emerged from the gap.
When the door lock opened, Wu Heng pulled out the key and waited for a few seconds before the light curtain from another world disappeared.
What is shown is the living room of the room on the first floor.
The living room was a little dark, but no zombies were seen.
boom!
Bang bang! !
Stepping into the living room, there was a violent hammering sound on the bedroom door.
After a few moments, the fragile door shattered.
Two zombies in pajamas stumbled out.
"Attack." Wu Heng ordered again.
The scattered zombies no longer pose a threat.
Instead, it became an experience package.
It can increase experience and increase the number of skeleton warriors.
Wow! !
The skeleton warriors swarmed forward, surrounding the zombies, and kept raising and dropping the kitchen knives in their hands.
The scene is a little cruel, but also a little depressing.
The zombie didn't even show any attack, and was killed in the living room.
Wu Heng walked up and released the Bone Slave Technique, and the two skeleton warriors stood up again.
After confirming that there was no danger here, Wu Heng went to the kitchen first.
Two more kitchen knives were found in the kitchen.
Distribute to the skeleton warriors who have just stood up.
Then, start rummaging through boxes and cabinets everywhere to find some items that may be useful to you. There is no way, life in Blackstone Town also requires money.
If the world hadn't become like this, he could have made a fortune more easily.
There are stored rice noodles and well-preserved pickled products in the refrigerator.
But with Blackstone Town, food is not too important.
I closed the refrigerator and continued to rummage in the bedroom closet.
Pull out some clothes that look classy.
Then there are cash, bank cards, house ownership documents, and some paper deposit receipts.
I found a few pieces of women's gold jewelry in the dressing cabinet.
Cash and bank cards are useless now, but gold jewelry is still very valuable.
When he was about to go out, his eyes fell on the ornaments at the door.
On the shoe cabinet at the door, there is a jade cabbage.
The bottom is a wooden base, and the top is a transparent cabbage shape. The length is about thirty centimeters, which is quite small.
Wu Heng looked at it, held it in his arms and went out.
Then he took the skeleton warrior and continued to the next room.
He lives in an old community with six floors, three households on each floor.
Wu Heng took the skeletons and opened them one by one, killing the zombies inside and searching for useful items.
…
Five p.m.
Wu Heng took the skeleton and swept the entire unit.
The not-so-spacious living room was already filled with skeleton warriors holding kitchen knives and fruit knives.
They are arranged neatly, making the whole living room feel eerie.
After counting, there were 17 skeleton warriors in total.
The number of skeleton warriors was smaller than expected, but it was not bad. At least today's operation went smoothly.
Among the skeletons, the one with the highest experience is the sword-wielding skeleton. Relying on his weapon advantage, he has reached 55 points, which is still less than half of the level.
If tomorrow can go as smoothly as today, reaching level two will not be a problem.
In today's battle, he also figured out the rules for skeletons to gain experience.
Except that Wu Heng can share the experience of all skeletons, the rest of the experience distribution is calculated according to the tail sword.
In other words, whoever cuts the last knife will be counted on which skeleton.
Not all skeletons are equally divided.
My experience level has reached half, and if everything goes well, I will be able to level up.
Everything is developing in a good direction.
After sorting out the loot and giving orders to all the skeletons to stay put, they put on their backpacks and returned to Blackstone Town through the gate.
...
Antlers Shop.
A famous chain store in Blackstone Town.
The pattern is antlers-like.
I heard that the stores are located in all cities of mankind, they have a certain degree of influence, and their reputation has always been good.
"Beautiful, very beautiful." The fat boss behind the counter held the jade cabbage and looked at it carefully.
After subconsciously praising a few words, he carefully placed it on the counter and continued to ask: "What kind of material is this? It's not jade, and there are no traces of carving. It doesn't look like a natural material."
Wu Heng was surprised by the viciousness of the other person's eyes.
Although it is called jade cabbage, it is not a real jade, but an ornament made of resin.
It has nothing to do with jade or anything like that.
"Fat jade is rarely seen here. It is characterized by its lightness, toughness, and full color." Wu Heng made it up casually.
This world is not the Middle Ages on the other side of the earth, and its level of development is not backward.
There is glass, various exquisite handicrafts, and there is no shortage of food and salt.
But synthetic materials like resin and plastic have never appeared here.
Instead, it became something strange.
The shop owner looked at it carefully again and said directly: "The Antler Chamber of Commerce never lowers the price. Your items are good, but they are obviously molded in one go. They have beautiful appearance and special materials. If you are willing to sell them, you can sell them here." I'll give you the price of 30 silver coins."
Common currencies are divided into four types: copper cents, copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.
Although gold coins are the top currency, they rarely appear among civilians.
Silver coins can solve most items buying and selling.
Therefore, the purchasing power of silver coins is very high.
In Wuheng's understanding of currency, the silver coins here are equivalent to hundred-dollar bills.
"Low." Wu Heng pretended to be dissatisfied and shook his head.
"Then what's your psychological price?"
"100."
The asking price is sky-high, but if you don't agree, I'll lower it.
If you say less and the other party agrees directly, you will feel uncomfortable.
Of course, the price shouldn’t be too outrageous, just about right.
"I'm afraid this price is hard to accept. Let's do this. 40 silver coins is the highest price I can give." The boss gave a fixed price.
Wu Heng thought for a while, jade cabbage was of no use to him, and there was no other place to sell it, so it was of no use to him.
He nodded and agreed.
"Okay."
