Chapter 3 Instant Kill! This Divine Weapon Was Unearthed from a Blind Box in a Drawer?
Lu Sheng looked down at the floating corpse at his feet. Foul-smelling black blood was still gushing out from the hole in the back of its head, staining the surrounding water black.
He silently recited in his heart: "Dragon Eyes".
[Target: Low-level floating corpse]
Special Skills: None
[Information: Formed from the dead corrupted by the calamity's waters, retaining some biological instincts, they can devour each other, with a very low probability of evolving into advanced floating corpses.]
Weaknesses: Head; fear of bright light and fire.
Lu Sheng frowned slightly.
Can floating corpses evolve?
Even a low-level floating corpse has a strength of no less than 150 jin (75 catties), which would be difficult for an ordinary person to handle in a one-on-one fight.
How terrifying would it be if it evolved into a high-level floating corpse?
He dared not think about it further.
Given the sheer size of this world's population, even if only one percent of the dead are transformed, the sheer number of floating corpses would be enough to send chills down one's spine.
No wonder the fleet has an ironclad rule: to remain quiet at night.
These creatures have keen hearing and fear sunlight; they lurk during the day and hunt at night.
The three extraordinary units in the fleet had clearly figured out the pattern of the floating corpses long ago.
Lu Sheng snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at the system panel.
[Energy Points: 1]
The Furnace of All Things and the Spirit Source Space together require 1000 energy points to unlock.
In other words, he needs to kill another 999 of these low-level floating corpses.
Lu Sheng's expression changed instantly.
To survive in this apocalypse, one must constantly become stronger; this is the key to survival in the world!
Lu Sheng gripped the steel bar tightly in his hand, its sharp end still dripping with black blood.
Instead of rushing up to the next level, he turned around and walked towards the deeper, darker area of this level.
Since the main force of the fleet entered from the front of the Zijin Building, the flanks and rear must be blind spots for them to clear.
That's their home turf.
"Splash... splash..."
The sound of footsteps splashing through puddles echoed in the empty hall, making the atmosphere unusually eerie.
The musty and bloody smells in the air, the dripping of water droplets falling from the ceiling in the distance, and even the subtle sound of the underwater currents all clearly reached his ears.
Twenty meters to the left front, in a corner hidden by a filing cabinet.
"Heh...heh..."
Heavy breathing came from behind the filing cabinet.
There is something.
Lu Sheng slowed his pace, lowered his body, and moved silently forward like a cheetah hunting its prey.
Both ends!
Two floating corpses were facing away from him, gnawing on a bloated, mangled body, making a sickeningly loud cracking sound as bones broke.
Hearing a noise on the water behind them, they turned around abruptly!
Two rotting, distorted faces and four eyes gleaming with a deathly gray light instantly locked onto Lu Sheng!
"roar!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the two floating corpses roared and pounced from the left and right!
It moved extremely fast, and the stench of decay and blood it brought was enough to make one's leftover food from the previous night regurgitate.
Lu Sheng's eyes remained unmoved. He lowered his body slightly and made a swift, crouching forward charge, passing right through the gap between the two floating corpses that were attacking!
In a flash, he thrust the steel bar in his hand sharply to the right rear!
"Pfft!"
The steel bar pierced precisely into the eye socket of the floating corpse on the right, and the powerful force sent it staggering as it crashed into the wall, its entire head pierced through!
"Killed a low-level floating corpse, level 0 Spirit Source user: (2/10)".
[Kill a low-level floating corpse, +1 energy points!]
At the same time, the floating corpse on the left missed its target and turned around, its sharp claws aimed straight for Lu Sheng's back!
Without turning his head, Lu Sheng kicked backward with his left foot!
"Bang!"
The force of over 300 pounds landed squarely on the chest of the floating corpse.
With a crisp "crack," the floating corpse's sternum caved in almost imperceptibly, and its entire body flew backward as if hit by a truck, crashing heavily into the water and splashing up a large amount of sewage.
It struggled to get up, but Lu Sheng had already stepped forward, raised the steel bar high, and brought it down hard!
"puff!"
The steel bar pierced its skull, pinning it firmly to the floor.
"Killed a low-level floating corpse, level 0 Spirit Source user: (3/10)".
[Kill a low-level floating corpse, +1 energy points!]
[Energy Points: 3]
The entire process was smooth and quick, taking no more than five seconds.
Lu Sheng shook off the black blood on the steel bars, his chest rising and falling slightly.
He felt it; with each exertion, the warm current within his body became more active, and his strength and speed seemed to be increasing at a barely perceptible, slow pace.
Is this the terrifying aspect of the Dragon God's talent?
Even the battle itself is a form of evolution!
He didn't linger and continued deeper.
For the next half hour, this floor became Lu Sheng's private slaughterhouse.
puff!
"Killed a low-level floating corpse, level 0 Spirit Source user: (4/10)".
[Ding! Killed a low-level floating corpse, +1 energy point!]
puff!
"Killed a low-level floating corpse, Level 0 Spirit Source user: (5/10)".
[Ding! Killed a low-level floating corpse, +1 energy point!]
……
Like a highly efficient butcher, Lu Sheng used the extraordinary perception granted by his Dragon Eyes to eliminate the floating corpses in this area one by one.
Sometimes they would use the terrain to flank and ambush, killing their target in one strike.
Sometimes he would confront the floating corpse head-on, using absolute force to kick it away before delivering a fatal blow.
In his hands, steel bars were more deadly than any weapon.
The information in my mind has changed.
"Killed a low-level floating corpse, Level 0 Spirit Source user: (10/10)".
"Spiritual energy reserves are full, advancing to the next level..."
boom!
A surge of heat suddenly exploded from my heart, instantly engulfing my entire body!
Lu Sheng felt his bones cracking and popping all over his body, his muscle fibers being torn and reassembled, and an unprecedentedly powerful feeling filled his limbs and bones!
"Promotion successful, strength increased by 200 jin."
"Level 1 Spirit Source User: Spirit Source 0/20".
"Strengthening options: Strengthen muscles, strengthen stomach, strengthen lungs; you can only choose one."
Lu Sheng slowly opened his hands, feeling the surging power within his body.
Five hundred pounds of force!
This is a Sequence Beyonder!
"call……"
Lu Sheng let out a long breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.
"Upgraded to a Level 1 Spirit Source User, I have gained one opportunity to strengthen my body. I now have three options: strengthen my muscles, strengthen my stomach, or strengthen my bones. Which part should I choose to strengthen?"
"Strengthening the lungs should allow you to hold your breath for longer."
"Strengthening muscles means increasing strength."
"What kind of abilities can be gained by strengthening the stomach?"
Lu Sheng knew that the length of time one could hold their breath was extremely important for a city submerged by floods, but now that his physical strength had increased, he could hold his breath for no less than three minutes.
"Three minutes should be enough for now. Even if you fall into the water, that's enough time to surface and breathe. If you can't surface after that long, you've probably encountered something terrifying. Even if you can hold your breath for another minute or two, you're probably in grave danger."
After much deliberation, Lu Sheng finally chose to strengthen his muscles.
"Enhancement successful! Strength increased by 100 jin."
"Body Enhancement: Grade I Strong Muscles".
Lu Sheng was overjoyed. In just one day, his strength had increased to a terrifying 600 jin.
He felt that he could easily take on ten ordinary people.
Now that we've cleared this area, it's time to loot the spoils.
Lu Sheng quickly began searching the area.
Looking around carefully, this is an office area.
Dozens of desks were neatly arranged, and the water level on the ground submerged a quarter of the desks.
The drawers and tabletop were not submerged by seawater.
This means that there might be a surprise hidden in these desks.
After all, the 996 work schedule means that capitalists will always keep workers working overtime for various reasons, leaving them with some hidden savings in their drawers.
Next up is the exciting blind box opening!
Bottled water, vacuum-packed jerky, chocolate, biscuits, energy bars...
Goodness, there are even a few boxes of self-heating hot pot!
And... a brand new box of condoms.
Lu Sheng accepted it without any expression.
This thing... should make a decent waterproof bag.
