BXBX NOVEL Chapter 284: Mermaid
Returning to Manor Castle, Song Jian arranged the task items from the package one by one, causing surprise to flash in Dr. Ebsiting’s eyes.
“How could this be, it’s only been a day…” Looking up at Song Jian, Dr. Ebsiting even suspected that Song Jian had collected these items long ago, and only went out to fetch them now.
“This is the equipment of Zeus Shield Company!” While touching a symbol on the “Polymer Analyzer”, Dr. Ebsiting exclaimed, “If 1 had known you could enter Zeus Shield Company, I would’ve asked you to grab more equipment. They are not short on funds. If not for a mishap, I would’ve been a member of their company…”
Dr. Ebsiting fell into a reminiscence, sighed after a long pause and said, “What a pity, I was too young at the time and not proficient in bioscience. My research scope conflicted with Zeus Shield, so 1 didn’t join.”
“The Zeus Shield, does it still exist?” Song Jian suddenly asked.
“Of course, giants like them, even during an apocalypse, wouldn’t disappear that quick. Moreover, I used to suspect that the zombie virus that destroyed this city originally spread from Zeus Shield Company, but I have no evidence to prove this…”
After a brief chat, Song Jian was kicked out by Dr. Ebsiting, who could now continue his research. As for Song Jian, he still had two lists in his pocket, and if he didn’t collect all the materials on these two lists, Dr. Ebsiting probably wouldn’t pay any more attention to him.
Song Jian left the Manor Castle, planning to upgrade to the fifteenth level monster zone, he was already at level fourteen, and only seventy percent more experience points were needed to reach level fifteen, then he could equip that leather armor in his parcel.
During the previous battle at Zeus Shield Company, the proficiency of Song Jian’s skill “Broken Wing Dance” was raised to ioo% at level 2. With his level 14. reward skill points, he could upgrade to level 3.
The third level of the “Broken Wing Dance” increases damage slightly. Meanwhile, the judgement on the third segment of Floating Point also increased a lot. After performing a “Broken Wing Dance”, even a level-15 monster’s vitality points will decrease by almost three hundred.
While Song Jian was passing through the level-10 monster zone, he suddenly saw a large group of players frantically running on the road, as if there were some terrifying monsters chasing them.
“Brother, run quickly, the monsters from Jinyang Lake have come ashore, there are so many of them, if you don’t run you will lose your life!” Seeing Song Jian standing still, a player in his thirties kindly reminded him.
“Old Li, don’t bother with him, let’s go back to the safe house quickly. Only the safe house can withstand those monsters…” His companion tugged him, looked at Song Jian, and showed a vigilant expression.
“Monsters, what monsters?” Song Jian couldn’t help asking.
“Fishmen, water elementals, so many monsters, all are level-15 monsters, run!” The man referred to as Old Li briefly explained and then ran down the street with his companions.
Soon, Song Jian saw a large group of creatures with fish heads, gills on both sides of their necks, covered in green scales, and standing only about 1.4 meters tall. They were holding round-headed sticks in their hands and lunged directly at any living creature they spotted.
These fish monsters were all level 15 ordinary monsters. On their way, they not only hunted players, but also other monsters. They killed on sight. Song Jian personally saw several level-10 mutated zombies surrounded by a group of fishmen, constantly smashing the zombies with sticks in their hands. In no time, these level-10 zombies were nailed to the ground.
After killing these level-10 monsters, the fishmen did not waste them. A few fishmen lifted the smashed mutated zombies and went back the way they came. The zombies killed by the fishmen did not ignite into transparent flames, they were no different from ordinary corpses.
More fishmen stormed into the shops on both sides, searching for anything edible. These fishmen were like locusts crossing the border, the places they passed were completely ransacked.
A level-10 player had just finished searching a building and came out from the entrance when he ran into this group of fishmen. Before he could react, the group of fishmen swarmed him as if they were flies smelling blood;
The player screamed in fear, frantically casting skills, with thunder and lightning appearing in his hands, hitting the fishmen. The fishmen affected by the electric attack trembled in place, but more fishmen kept lunging at the man.
In no time, that player’s mental strength was exhausted, he was knocked to the ground by a group of fishmen and soon, a mournful scream sounded. The group of fishmen was actually tearing the player apart in frenzy.
Soon, a strong fishman leader in armor and carrying a long fork ran over. He roared at the surrounding fishmen, driving them away from the player they were biting.
Then, it shouted at several fishmen and ordered them to lift the player’s corpse, going back the way they came.
“A level-15 elite boss…” Song Jian stared at the strong fishman in armor and carrying a long fork and murmured.
Previously he thought about a fight, but seeing this level-15 elite boss, Song Jian halted his steps. If it were regular monsters, he could escape their siege, but with this elite boss, escaping from this group of level-15 monsters would be tricky.
He ducked into a residential complex, hiding behind the door of a building. These fishmen were numerous but impossible to search the entire area of level 10 monsters, a lot of places would be missed out.
Song Jian patiently waited for this group of fishmen to leave so that he could go elsewhere.
However, before too long, Song Jian heard a few fishmen yelling as they rushed into the residential complex, they began to move towards the apartment buildings in small groups.
Two of them selected the very apartment building where Song Jian was hiding.
“You two are just unlucky…” Song Jian summoned the Crimson Fire Fleart Ape Sword and tightly clutched it in his hand.
Soon, a fishman slammed a half-opened building door with the stick in his hand and swaggered in, followed by a thin fishman cowering behind him.
Compared to the fishman in front, that fishman behind looked like a child.
The behavior of the timid fishman seemed to infuriate the one in front. After smashing the door open, it yelled angrily at the fishman behind, waving the stick in its hand and acting threateningly.
At this moment, the fishman’s face showed a terrified expression. Fie pointed behind the front fishman and screamed in fright.
