The Walking Dead ignored Noland Lee.
But Noland Lee did not want to let it go.
Sooner or later, this thing would be a disaster. It’s better to get rid of it now.
At the stime, use the passive deconstruction effect of Deconstruction to deconstruct it.
Noland bypassed the Walking Dead, walking a short distance into the depths of the corridor.
He didn’t encounter more Walking Dead or find any stone walls blocking the road.
For safety, he didn’t go too deep into the corridor and soon returned to where he was.
The Walking Dead was still standing in place.
It simply looked back when it heard Noland’s footsteps, then resumed its silly daze.
Noland moved quietly, approaching the shadow of the Walking Dead step by step.
According to the gaming experience before crossing, the defense of the Walking Dead was stronger than that of the Skeleton Warrior, but it required a decaying body to move.
If the Skeleton Warrior loses its head or limbs, its passive skill, “Fast
Integration,” will work, urging it to find its lost bones and reconnect them.
But in the case of the Walking Dead, there are generally no similar passive skills.
As long as its legs are cut off, it will completely lose its ability to walk, and similar effects apply to other parts.
Noland stood behind the Walking Dead, staring at it for a few seconds, and targeted the most vulnerable parts.
He stared tightly at the back of the Walking Dead’s head and held the Rune staff in his hand.
One end of the Rune staff was a conical contact, like the tip of a pencil, but much harder and can be used as a sharp short spear.
Noland took a slight breath and slightly gathered strength.
With a squish, the Rune staff stabbed into the back of the Walking Dead’s head.
The Walking Dead suddenly got hit at the vital spot, its body violently convulsed, and it let out an angry moan.
Noland held both ends of the Rune staff and stirred and waved it with force.
The Walking Dead suddenly lost its balance, its body tilted, the back of its head cracked open, and filthy blood and brains flew.
Noland kicked out.
The Walking Dead crashed into the wall and slid down along the wall.
Noland seized the opportunity to raise his right foot and stomped on the head of the Walking Dead.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBlood splattered, and flesh and blood spilled out.
Feeling like a real-life version of Dead Space… Amidst the stench, Noland Lee suppressed the impulse to vomit and felt emotional.
[System Message: You have inflicted fatal damage on the Tomb Walking Dead and successfully killed the target.]
[Activate Passive Deconstruction!]
[Your degree of deconstruction of this target has reached 100%, and the target’s panel is unlocked.]
[You have recovered 1 point of Energy.]
Noland’s eyes flickered, and he felt a kind of enlightenment.
He was sure of one thing:
Either being hit with fatal damage or inflicting fatal damage would enable him to use Passive Deconstruction to complete 100% deconstruction of the target in one go.
That’s the fastest way to get the complete deconstruction result and recover Energy points.
Noland fixed his mind and shook the flesh off the Rune staff.
He glanced at the end of the corridor without going deeper, standing still to modify the Undead Runes on the wall.
“000, 000…”
A moaning sound reached Noland’s ears.
Are more enemies coming?
Noland looked in the direction of the sound, and a burly tomb Walking Dead entered his field of vision.
Like the previous one, it stopped three meters away from Noland without any intention to attack…
It’s strange, another one?
Is this a spawning point?
Would undead creatures keep refreshing if he stayed here?
Noland puzzledly touched his head and inadvertently saw his Personal Panel floating in the corner of his vision.
On his Personal Panel, the negative effect called “Perception Obstruction” still exists.
Is it because the magic item that casts “Perception Obstruction” has detected that he is alive, so the controller of the item sent another Tomb Walking Dead to kill him?
Noland snapped his fingers and thought it made sense.
He squinted and looked at the burly Tomb Walking Dead, boldly walking around it, and sensed a bit of “Huluwa saves grandfather.” Defeat weaker enemies, and stronger ones will come.
If he defeats the stronger ones, won’t even stronger ones come?
Enemies cone wave after another, with increasing numbers and strength, until Noland dies in battle.
At this moment, Noland had the illusion that he was playing a tower defense game…
Considering everything, the sooner he modifies more Undead Runes, destroys the Stone Tomb, and collapses the maze-like area, the better chance he has to
escape.
Otherwise, he would have to wait for soldiers to cand rescue him from outside.
Noland looked at the Walking Dead in front of him, thought for half a second, and decided it was better to get rid of it.
Noland Lee circled around to the back of the enemys head, grasped the Rune Staff, and stabbed it towards the soft flesh at the base of the zombie’s skull.
With a crack, the Tomb Walking Dead’s brain was pierced.
Noland lifted his right foot and stomped down heavily, putting an end to the zombie.
A system message unexpectedly appeared in his mind.
Only then did Noland realize that this muscular Tomb Walking Dead was different from the others he had killed previously.
[System Message: You inflicted fatal damage on the Strong Walking Dead and successfully killed the target.
[Passive Deconstruction Activated!]
[Your target’s deconstruction has reached 100%, unlocking its panel.]
[You have recovered 2 Energy Points.]
He glanced at his Personal Panel, noticing that his Energy Points had recovered to 6. This eased Noland’s mind and even made him look forward to the upcoming Undead Troops…
The only thing he worried about was when he could finally escape this place.
The Breathing Mask required a Filter Cartridge to function.
A Filter Cartridge could be used continuously for half an hour.
Noland had already used up three Filter Cartridges.
Replacing the fourth cartridge, Noland felt slightly weak and couldn’t hold on much longer.
The dark, oppressive atmosphere wore down on him as a living human.
This fourth cartridge was his last reserve.
If he couldn’t get out of this area within the next half-hour, he would definitely die from the poisonous fog.
In the past two hours, Noland had slain over a dozen Tomb Walking Dead, eight Strong Walking Dead, and two Armored Walking Corpses clad in metal armor.
The enemies were growing stronger, and Noland was finding it difficult to keep up due to his physical exhaustion.
During the last wave of attacks, the Armored Walking Corpses brought two Tomb Walking Dead with them to cause trouble for Noland.bender
While fighting, Noland nearly got killed by the three zombies, the situation was dangerously close.
Thankfully, Noland successfully ambushed and killed the most powerful Armored Walking Corpses, which was how he managed to survive while being surrounded by the two Tomb Walking Dead.
So far, the only good news was that the Soul-binding Stone Tomb was close to “collapsing.”
Noland’s continuous modification of the Undead Runes for more than two hours had rendered most of the Stone Tomb’s skills ineffective.
The Building Value of the Stone Tomb had significantly decreased every tNoland made a key modification.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNow, the Building Value of the Stone Tomb was just under 10,000 points.
The rectangular stone bricks that formed the walls visibly crumbled at an accelerated pace, losing their previous hardness.
Noland just needed to push a bit harder to topple the Stone Tomb.
However, before doing that, he had to deal with the upcoming enemies.
Noland sat on the ground, regaining his strength and looking deep into the Corridor.
Based on the tintervals of the previous waves, the next wave of enemies should be arriving soon.
He didn’t know when these continuous attacks would eventually end…
With a sigh, Noland grasped his Rune Staff and stood up from the ground, patiently waiting for the enemies.
“Clonk, clonk, clonk…”
An unusual sound of footsteps entered Noland’s ears.
It seemed that the enemy this twasn’t a regular Walking Dead.
Could it be a new type of Undead Troops? Noland furrowed his brow.
His Energy Points were almost full again.
If a new type of enemy appeared, the energy gained from Passive
Deconstruction would overflow.
This was not good news.
Noland steadied his mind and remained vigilant.
A green-eyed Ogre Walking Corpses approached from the poisonous fog, stopping in front of Noland with an inexplicable grin.
Noland felt a chill rise from his back, reaching straight towards his forehead.
The face of the Walking Dead was a bizarre grey-white color, and the surface of its skin had centipede-like stitches forming countless Undead Runes.
It had a malicious smile with a bloodthirsty look in its eyes, and an intense surge of evil flowed through its glowing green eyes.
It was the face of Sin Soldier No. 079.
“We meet again, you little bastard… Didn’t expect this, did you? I have a new master. The Death Priest of the Undead Cult has granteda new body. I will tear you apart, savoring your despair.”
Noland’s heart sank, and he quickly understood what had happened:
After the soul of the Scarred Sin Soldier had been extracted by the Soul Binding, it fell into the hands of the Death Priest controlling the Stone Tomb.
And that Death Priest transformed the Scarred Sin Soldier into a zombie.
Worse yet, it still retained its consciousness.
It retained its memories, awareness, and even its combat experiences from when it was alive.
“Mark of Resentment” had no effect on such creatures with conscious minds.
The previous strategy of relying on the enemy’s lack of hostility to ambush from behind was no longer feasible in the face of this conscious Sin Soldier
Zombie..
