Rebirth Doomsday Survival

Chapter 12: Zombie Coal Mine



The four people gradually developed a blind trust in Drax, and no one would think that what he said was wrong.

Since there is a coal mine, perhaps some coarse coal can be found, so it is entirely possible to bring some light to the dark and cold underground cave.

The air circulation in the underground cave is not good. If you choose to burn firewood, it will inevitably produce smoke and some gases, which are very easy to interfere with the air quality, and even dangerous over time. Burning a proper amount of coal balls will be much better, and it is completely enough to keep warm.

The trees are becoming more and more sparse. When you turn around a big tree, the view suddenly becomes clear. There is an open grassland area surrounded by black coal hills. There is an old mine on a low hill in the middle.

This mine has been abandoned for many years. The wood above the cave entrance has rotted, moss-covered, and is crumbling.

This is not the key point. The most eye-catching thing is that there are dozens of wandering figures in front of the mine.

Cassius laughed strangely and said, "Why are there people here?"

In fact, even an idiot could see that those wandering figures were not people at all.

They were shirtless, unkempt, covered with signs of decay and festering, with maggots growing in their flesh, eyes rolled back, dull expressions, mouths full of sharp teeth, limbs very stiff, and walked very slowly, occasionally making a long howl like a beast, looking hideous and terrifying.

It looks a bit like a human, but its ears are long and pointed, and it belongs to another species.

Drax explained: "This is a rotten zombie, a monster of the undead system.

Similar to the skeleton, the rotten zombie is the lowest level of the zombie clan, but the zombie clan is higher than the skeleton clan, so the rotten zombie is much more powerful than the skeleton.

They are slightly stronger than the goblin slaves, mainly in terms of strength. In addition, their bodies are very hard and not easy to kill, but speed is their biggest and most fatal weakness."

"Why are there some different zombies in it?"

Seraphina found that among the dozen rotten zombies, there were some alternative zombies. They looked similar to the rotten zombies, but moved much faster, and held mattocks for digging or large shovels for shoveling coal in their hands.

"These are zombie miners, much stronger than rotten zombies. I came for the shovels and mattocks in their hands.

However, they are primary monsters, and their bodies are as hard as iron. With your current strength, even if you stand there and let you hit them, it will be difficult to kill them. But I will deal with these zombies.

As for the rotten zombies, they are meaningless to me. You can kill them. Two people in a group, it is safer this way. Zombies have corpse poison on their bodies. If you are scratched, you may be infected. Be careful."

Cassius shrank his neck and asked, "Will you become a zombie if you are infected with corpse poison?"

"Fatty "I'll teach you to watch less zombie movies." Drax shook his head and continued, "Corpse poison won't turn people into zombies, but it's very dangerous. If you're not careful, you'll rot and die."

Blake couldn't wait any longer, "Finally, I've met a monster that can make people stronger!"

"No more nonsense." Drax took out the bone blade, "Let's go. Low-level zombies have low intelligence and low alertness. They will only notice us when they get close. Don't provoke too many at once."

Drax was the first to rush over. This area was very large, as large as several football fields. He easily avoided the rotting zombies wandering in the front row.

Locked on a zombie miner holding a rusty shovel and slashed at it with a knife.

Zombie miners are primary monsters. Their speed is slower than primary monsters, but their bodies are as hard as steel. In addition, they are extremely powerful. When the shovel is swung in their hands, it is simply a super weapon that can cut iron like mud.

But when Drax activated the Eye of Insight, the zombie miner's movements were very stiff, full of flaws, meaningless in his eyes, and not threatening at all.

Although the attack was not threatening, it was still very difficult to deal with. After more than ten minutes of fighting, Drax finally chopped off the zombie miner's head and obtained slightly more energy than the goblin warrior.

Then, with a lot of effort, he barely pulled the rusty shovel from the zombie miner's hand, put it in the ring, removed the Eye of Insight, stopped to rest, and looked back at the situation of others.

The four of them had already started to kill the rotten zombies. Ophelia and Seraphina were a group. The two charming beauties cooperated very well. After attracting the attention of a rotten zombie, Seraphina forced herself to overcome the fear in her heart and stabbed the zombie with a short spear with her eyes closed.

The zombie's body was hard, and the short spear could not pierce it, but it held it up and prevented it from moving forward. The zombie waved its arms but could not reach it. Serafina had killed four goblin slaves, and her strength was already quite strong. She barely held on for a moment, and Ophelia took the opportunity to smash the rotten zombie's head with a goblin stick.

After a few hits, the rotten zombie's head was bleeding, and finally broke free. The two quickly ran a distance, and after adjusting, Serafina once again held the short spear to push up, and Ophelia hit it with the stick again. After several times, the rotten zombie's head was finally smashed.

The two people exchanged with each other, Ophelia held a zombie with a short spear, and Serafina swung the stick and hit it hard. After successfully succeeding, they switched back, one person stabbed the wooden spear into the zombie's body to restrict its movement, and the other person smashed the zombie's head. In this way, one person pushed and the other person smashed, and the two successfully hunted many zombies.

On the contrary, the two idiots, Cassius and Blake, rushed towards the zombies with sticks and smashed them all over their heads. As a result, they were often chased and beaten by zombies. If the zombies could not outrun them, the two would have been finished long ago. As a result, they were in a very embarrassing situation and their efficiency was not as good as the two girls.

"What a pig brain!"

Drax wanted to remind them, but he didn't dare to speak loudly here, for fear of attracting all the nearby zombies. He had to give up and continue to attack the other miner with a pickaxe.

Drax's skilled combat experience, combined with the sharp "Eye of Insight", was almost invincible. In less than an hour, he killed five or six zombie miners, but the opponent didn't even touch the corner of his clothes.

After a while, four shovels and two pickaxes were harvested. With these tools, it was much easier for everyone to set traps. There were no zombie miners outside, so Drax had to choose to enter the mine to continue hunting.

The coal mine was crumbling, and the mine was pitch black. From time to time, there were chilling roars, which were the unique sounds of zombies.

The mine was relatively dry inside, and the mine was very deep, but no one knew how deep it was.

According to the memory of the previous life, there were a large number of beginner zombie miners in the mine, and there was also a chain zombie that was also beginner, but more powerful than the zombie miners. It was said that there was a terrible poisonous zombie deeper, which was a first-level monster.

As for whether the mine had reached the end and whether there were other fierce monsters inside, Drax had no way of knowing. Because the eight beginner masters who challenged the poisonous zombies in the previous life all died, seven died below, and one escaped from the deep poison and died a few days later.

These eight people were the strongest in the team at that time.

At that time, Drax, who had survived for three weeks, was still at level zero. At that time, he was neither strong nor weak in the team, and could be said to be inconspicuous.

Even before he left the forest more than three months later, his strength was at most at the level of a second-rate expert, and there was no major change. Later, he began to make a name for himself and stood among the ranks of top experts several times. Even if he gradually left the top of the pyramid after a few years, he was still considered a first-rate expert.

Many geniuses are often mediocre at the beginning, and they fall quietly before they shine.

Several hours passed.

A roar echoed in the mine, the sound was hoarse, shrill and piercing.

"Ah!"

A ferocious zombie with a cyan body and iron chains rushed up, roaring continuously with a bloody mouth. The thick iron chains on its body kept colliding with the ground and the surrounding walls during the rapid advancement, and bursts of crisp ping-pong sounds echoed in the deep mine.

It waved its arms wildly, and attacked crazily with the two iron chains on the left and right, whipping it non-stop.

Drax dodged left and right, swinging his sword with both hands like the wind, constantly splitting the chains that swept over.

The blade and the chain collided wildly, and the sparks that splashed were particularly dazzling in the dark mine.

Ding!

Drax seized a flaw and slashed the chain on the neck of the chain zombie with a knife, leaving a huge gap in the chain.

The chain zombie howled angrily and swung it again. The force of the chain was so great that it was enough to knock down a buffalo.

With the help of the Eye of Insight, Drax easily avoided every attack of the chain. Every time the thick chain landed, the ground shook. Drax swung his sword several times in a row and hit the neck of the chain zombie, and finally cut off the chains.

After a brief entanglement, he seized another flaw, kicked the ground with his legs, and jumped up like a cheetah, and the gorgeous sword light flashed in the air.

"Bang!"

Drax landed on his feet, his chest heaving, and he was panting slightly. At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of dizziness, and the blood-red color of his eyes gradually faded and turned back to normal black.

This was the fourth time. The long-term use of the Eye of Insight consumed a lot of physical and mental strength, and even Drax was close to the limit of his body.

The chained zombie stood still, with a blood mark on his neck, and thick black blood gushed out. The head separated from the neck and fell backwards to the ground, and then the headless body tied with chains also fell slowly.

Drax turned around, wiped his sweat, and muttered to himself: "Including the seven goblin warriors killed yesterday, I have killed more than 40 primary monsters in a row. I can cut off the head of a zombie with one knife. I have almost reached the level of the late primary stage. My strength should be about three times that of a warrior who has just entered the primary stage."

Drax roughly calculated his own strength and looked back at the iron chain zombie. "I didn't expect that after rebirth, with experience, combat skills and the assistance of the Eye of Insight, my strength can be improved so quickly!"

He stepped forward to take off the iron chain zombie and put it into the ring. The ring space was already full. It was already late at this moment, and as he went deeper and deeper, Drax gradually felt uneasy.

He had a hunch that if he walked in, he would meet the poisonous zombie soon.

There should be many primary zombies in the mine, but Drax didn't want to kill them all at once. He decided to stay and come back when he was strong enough to not be afraid of the poisonous zombies. These remaining primary zombies can be left for others to advance.

Drax took a few deep breaths, turned around and walked back. When he walked out of the mine, he was surprised to find that the rotten zombies outside had been cleaned up.

Blake and Cassius finally got smarter and learned from Ophelia and Seraphina to kill zombies.

"How are you doing? How many rotten zombies have you killed?"

Ophelia wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I killed ten, and Seraphina killed nine!"

Cassius and the other two looked frustrated, "We only killed seven each." They were very depressed that they were caught up by that little girl Seraphina.

Ophelia smiled and replied, "This is all Seraphina's idea, otherwise we wouldn't be so efficient."

Drax looked at Seraphina in surprise and said, "Did you come up with that method of hunting zombies?"

Seraphina was panting with exhaustion, but proudly puffed up her chest and said, "Yes, it was me!"

"At this rate, you will be able to advance in a day or two." Drax looked up at the sky and said to the others, "As of today, there are not many rotten zombies left here, and everyone should be hungry after fighting for so long.

Let's go find something to eat first. I have to return to the cave to give everyone the harvest. With this batch of tools, we can do more things."

Cassius and Blake used the prepared backpacks to fill several large backpacks with coal, and the four of them began to return along the same route.

Seraphina's mood has changed greatly compared to yesterday. She often took the initiative to joke with several people along the way. She is the most beautiful girl in the Department of Fine Arts, and even the most beautiful girl in the entire Academy of Fine Arts. She is extremely beautiful, and when she smiles, she is even more beautiful, with a temperament that makes people fall in love with her.

This forest is very quiet. The lush branches and leaves block the sunlight, making it a little dark. There is a layer of rotten leaves on the ground. Many tree roots are exposed on the ground, entangled with each other, and covered with moss. It is very slippery and you will fall if you are not careful. You need to be careful when walking.

"Wait!" Drax suddenly shouted, "It seems something is going on."

Several people were startled and stopped at the same time, holding their weapons tightly, posing as if they were ready to fight at any time, and alert to the surroundings.

Drax ran quickly to a big tree in front of him. There was a pile of feces under the tree, which gave off a very pungent smell. He frowned and said, "Ogre feces? It's still relatively fresh, so it shouldn't have been there for long.

Could it be that... there is an ogre living nearby? If so, we are in big trouble!"

Drax roughly determined the direction the ogre was facing from the shape of the feces. He took a few steps in that direction and found a huge footprint on the ground. This footprint was twice as big as a human's.

He roughly measured the size of the footprint, the depth of the footprint, and the average span between the two footprints, and made a judgment: "Damn it, it's actually an adult ogre warrior."
