Chapter 30: Poker Master

Yun You gritted her teeth in anger. That guy was definitely diverting the trouble over to them! She better not see that guy again in the future, or else…

Han Qichuan put Yun You down and looked at her. Then, he said, “Go. I’ll block it.” His expression was firm.

Han Qichuan turned around and faced the zombies. Scales appeared, and a greenish-gray cold light was oppressive. A strong tail flaunted its might.

The scales almost covered his entire body and clung to Han Qichuan’s body like a set of tough armor. The appearance of his tail meant that Han Qichuan had to use his full strength.

Yun You wanted to pull him back. Even in his full form, Han Qichuan was probably not a match for a Level 4 zombie. Wasn’t this courting death?

Moreover, he was the start of her unfinished mission. How could Yun You leave alone and leave him to face danger alone?

To be more practical, if Han Qichuan was dead, the starting mission would definitely fail. If the starting mission failed, Yun You would most likely die. Yun You was more unlucky than not usually. There was a high chance that this rebooted world would be lonely again.

However, Han Qichuan didn’t give her any time. After saying that, he rushed towards the zombie. Hey, who asked you to fight? Running was the right thing to do!!

Yun You was not sensitive to such battles, so it was normal for her not to know. Han Qichuan chose him to block because they were very close to the attackers. He would definitely not be able to dodge with Yun You. Only by choosing to attack could Yun You escape.

However, this was the first time Han Qichuan had seen this zombie. He didn’t know that it had an Earth-element ability. His idea wouldn’t work against an area-of-effect ability. There was no way to escape.

However, Yun You had never planned to leave just like that. Firstly, it was impossible for her to give up on her from the perspective of friends or missions. Secondly, wasn’t Big Orange still around? Moreover, she still had her experience as a poker master!

After Yun You set it down, she would let it deal with the more difficult situations that might happen in the future. Now, there was only one choice left—a day of master poker experience.

Yun You quickly opened the system interface in the air and clicked on the item she had obtained. She found the ‘Poker Master’.

Click to use.

[System Notification: Congratulations, Poker Master’s ability has been successfully used. The experience duration is one day. I wish you happy usage!]

The Strength Zombie attacked and smashed down with the iron rod. The airflow around the iron rod was enough to hurt people. Even the Zombie King of C City did not dare to receive the attack head-on.

Recently, its food had provoked it time and time again and left safely. It was very angry now.

Dodge? If it directly chased after Yun You, it would be troublesome!

Deng—

It sounded like metal colliding.

Han Qichuan forcefully withstood this attack. This was the first time someone could withstand a frontal attack from a top-notch zombie.

Roar—

The zombies roared at him, followed by a rain of attacks.

Yun You should have run far away. This time, he had to dodge the attack. It was not without cost that he blocked the zombie’s attack previously. His arms were numb from the shock.

Han Qichuan dodged to the side, but his ankle was fixed by the soil.

Earth-type ability?! Oh no, Yun You will be in danger later!

Han Qichuan blocked with both hands, and the zombie’s attacks became heavier and heavier.

Han Qichuan’s eyes darkened. He had to hold on for a while longer and buy more time for Yun You. This was a zombie with special abilities!

No one noticed the gray light flashing across Han Qichuan’s chest. Even he himself did not know that his body had unknowingly been strengthened.

Han Qichuan made up his mind and his claws trembled. An ice shield was about to appear above him.

Roar!

The zombie roared again. Hateful food!

The soil strengthened the restraints on Han Qichuan’s legs again and prepared to smash him.

Whoosh—

A poker card quickly spun and flew over. The Strength Zombie endured the discomfort and hurriedly braked. It stopped its arm and bent it to the side to avoid the poker card’s attack.

If the zombie had an expression, it would definitely be in shock and its eyes would be filled with fear.

Because of this poker card, it felt fear for the first time.

Level 4 zombies were different from low-level zombies. Other than the brainless zombies at Level 1 and Level 2, they were the most ordinary. At Level 3, they would know when to retreat or fight. At Level 4, they had a sense of danger, and at Level 5, they had basic intelligence.

The higher the level, the more perfect and refined the zombie’s abilities were. Fortunately, there were only few above Level 3. Otherwise, humans would be in danger.

—-

A street away from Yun You and the others.

The three of them gathered in an empty shop. Some were leaning against the wall, while others were squatting on the ground with impatient expressions. The atmosphere was tense, as if they were waiting for something.

Upon closer inspection, one could see the black wolf head symbol on their clothes.

“When is Master Feng coming back? Is he in danger?”

“Tsk, you’re underestimating Master Feng too much. Other than the Zombie King, who else in C City can keep Master Feng?”

“Jiang Xiu, are you having a hard time if you don’t fight with me for a day? I’m f*cking concerned about Master Feng.”

“You don’t have to worry about Master Feng’s strength. You’re just worried. Your strength is not good every day. You don’t have to worry.”

“F*ck, are you looking for a beating, huh?”

“Come on, who’s afraid of who?”

The man in the suit couldn’t stand it anymore. “Stop! If you attract the surrounding zombies, you’ll suffer.”

Only then did the two of them return to their original positions resentfully. Jiang Zhi did not forget to say ruthlessly, “Just you wait. I’m a dog if I don’t beat you up when we get back.”

“Hehe.” Jiang Xiu sneered.

Qin Ren: “…”

Qin Ren was a little speechless. These two brothers really couldn’t get through without a fight, right? He really wanted Master Feng to come back quickly and didn’t want to stay with them at all.

The man in black stopped at the door and patted the dust off his body. Just as he was about to push open the door and enter, he heard the conversation above.

“Ahem.” The man in black pushed open the door and coughed twice to remind them of his existence.

“Master Feng.”

The two of them, who had almost fought just now, were now as obedient as chicks.

“Master Feng, what happened?” Qin Ren went forward and asked. According to normal times, their master should have returned a long time ago.

“Something did happen, but I was lucky to meet two unlucky fellows.”

The man in black was called Yan Fenglang, the boss of the largest underground force in the Cold North Mountain Range after the apocalypse. His goal this time was also Prism Fruit.

However, after he came here, he had another pleasant surprise. It was a Level 4 initial-stage Speed-type zombie, and a Speed-type zombie with a broken leg and half its body burned for some reason.

This was simply a pie dropped from the sky. A Level 4 Speed Crystal Core, and the difficulty of gaining one was so low. It was impossible for Yan Fenglang not to be tempted.

However, the problem was that the zombie had always been attached to the giant zombie, so it was not easy to attack.

Therefore, he called them to leave and wait while he found an opportunity to obtain the Level 4 nuclei.

However, he did not expect that the giant zombie would rely on its perception of the nuclei to chase after him for a few streets. Fortunately, his luck today was not bad.

Two of them attracted hatred.

Otherwise, it would really take him a lot of effort to escape.
