Chapter 8

The zombies emerged from various shadows, their blood-red eyes filled with an insatiable hunger, causing these hunters, who dared not show themselves during the day, to wander restlessly through the empty floors.

"Ah, what are you afraid of? I won't eat you. In fact, I initially wanted to let you leave with them directly, but how could I, given your shameless actions? So..." Zhao Bin abruptly grabbed Li Fei, delivering a swift chop to the back of her neck, causing her to roll her eyes and faint immediately.

After Zhao Bin checked all the doors and windows, he first went to the bathroom to wash his face, then took a mop to thoroughly clean the entire house. He sprayed some air freshener; although there still lingered a slight smell of blood and decay, it was much better than at the beginning. By the time he finished cleaning, it was already completely dark outside. Countless zombies were howling and screaming outside. He sprayed some more air freshener; although there still lingered a slight smell of blood and decay, it was much better than at the beginning. By the time he finished cleaning, it was already completely dark outside. Countless zombies were howling and screaming outside. This made Zhao Bin feel that apart from himself and Li Fei, there were no other living people left in the entire community.

Zhao Bin hid in the room and did not come out. He did not act alongside the convoy; after all, he was different from those with abilities. He harbored too many unusual secrets. As a researcher, he was well aware of the fervent research sentiments that scientists had towards the extraordinary.

Zhao Bin looked down through the glass

First, the Level 1 Otherworld Summoning spell... um..." He attempted to construct the spell model directly using mental power, but as expected, it failed. "It seems I need to analyze and reconstruct it. A complete reconstruction of a Level 1 spell will take me at least three days.

Indeed, with a flick of his wrist, Yangzi sent a glimmering silver-white ice spike flying towards one of the zombies at a measured pace. After making a few turns, it effortlessly pierced the zombie's head with a soft hiss, as easy as cutting through tofu.

As night falls, a strong wind sweeps through the area, lifting lightweight debris such as paper and plastic bags from the ground, remnants left behind by residents who evacuated in haste during the afternoon. The ground is strewn with nearly everything: mobile phones, wallets, clothing, jewelry, photographs, and so on

The analysis of the first-level spell, Level 1 Otherworldly Summoning, took three days. During these three days, Zhao Bin repeatedly attempted to blend the blood ink. It seemed that Li Fei's blood was not very effective, as the produced parchment scroll only had a two-hour duration. To achieve permanent effectiveness, blood from a magical creature was necessary.

Understood, Brother Tang. It is surprising that the white-collar worker is wearing a thick suit in the sweltering heat, and Zhao Bin, with his enhanced vision, can clearly see that the man referred to as Yangzi, even from a distance of just over 20 meters, has no sweat on his forehead at all

Common Skills: High Speed, Sharp Claws, Mounting

Whoever saves me, I will give them five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand! No! One million!

The specific time is 7:15. The first-level otherworldly summoning structure has been completely rebuilt, and now it is time for practice. He held a light yellow parchment scroll in his hand, which contained the acid liquid missile, a zero-level spell scroll he had just created

Upon waking, Zhao Bin first conducted a thorough inspection of the room, ensuring that there were no potential hazards in the vicinity. He then proceeded to check the adjacent room as well. He intended to isolate the entire fifth and sixth floors as his research base. Naturally, safety concerns had to be addressed as a priority.

Even Zhao Bin did not expect that the arrival of the convoy would cause such a commotion. The entire community was suddenly filled with excitement. The originally quiet neighborhood saw survivors emerging from every floor as if by magic, calling for help. These survivors were ecstatic, cheering as they saw the convoy, as if they had encountered their savior. They completely disregarded the roars of the zombies in the stairwell, which had been startled by the crowd.

There is nothing much, but, huh? There are a few zombies here. Yangzi, you handle it, just consider it practice.

"No way, it's just a piece of meat, how exaggerated..." He leaned forward to take a look and saw a vast mass of zombies below, crowding around the spot where the rotten meat had fallen, fighting over it.

Cheetah - The Bloodthirsty Hunter

"It is also through collaboration that we awaken; how is it that your ice spike, Yangzi, is so much slower than Wang Han's from the first team?"

Four hours later, Zhao Bin had fully restored all of his mental energy. Although the spell slot remained a first-level spell, it was now possible to use the activated water trace for auxiliary calculations for an extended period.

Brother Tang, let us return; it seems... it seems that something has happened

If life could continue in such tranquility, it would actually be quite nice. He thought this to himself, but in reality, it was impossible. The instant noodles were finished, and the rice at home, along with Li Fei's provisions, could last at most about two months. As for vegetables and fruits, Zhao Bin walked to the storage room and found that the meat was already starting to smell, and the vegetables and fruits were somewhat wilted. It seemed that they wouldn't last until tomorrow.

... ...

The overweight man beside me was smoking nonchalantly.

This is a panther with a completely black coat

Zhao Bin calmed himself, and the intricate handprints quickly formed one after another, as countless accented incantations were chanted by Zhao Bin.

The cries for help from outside continued for a while, followed by a dense barrage of gunfire and sharp whistling sounds, which reminded Zhao Bin of the swirling cyan energy crescent in the hands of the man in camouflage.

As for Li Fei, Zhao Bin's lips curled into a slight smile, a glint of malice flashing in his eyes. He stepped into the bedroom where Li Fei was bound to the bed. At this moment, the girl tied to the bed had already regained consciousness. She stared wide-eyed in fear at Zhao Bin, who had entered.

Oh ... ...

A plump man dressed as a chef stands alongside a man in a suit, both facing several zombies that are continuously howling in the shadows of the community

What is there to be afraid of! We've encountered so many incidents on this journey; didn't I, Tang Yu, survive the zombie sea yesterday? If we don't find some good things on this trip, we'll be leaving the city right away, and once we reach the suburbs, there won't be another chance. If we don't make the most of this opportunity, we might regret it later. Hehe, given how this situation is developing, money and gold won't be worth as much as food.

It seems necessary to immediately develop a first-level spell as a minimum guarantee. The structure of zero-level spells is relatively simple and can be generalized, but first-level spells, which are considerably more complex, are different. If even a small detail goes wrong, the entire spell casting will fail. There is no room for error.

This dark figure quietly crouched in the living room, its two yellow gem-like eyes calmly gazing at Zhao Bin

Zhao Bin stood in the center of the adjacent living room, glancing at his phone which had only one bar of battery left

Here, we are still alive, who will come to save us

These ordinary zombies are most afraid of sunlight. Yangzi, as long as you stand in a place where the sun shines, you need not fear them rushing over.

Then came the ecstatic voices of the rescued residents expressing their gratitude. Following that, the convoy set off, gradually distancing itself until the sound of the engines completely faded away. The sky also began to darken, as the midday sun turned red and the temperature started to cool down

Help! Save me!

Even as a former legendary lich, when his mental power level does not increase, he cannot conjure many spell slots. His legendary mastery of arcane arts allows him to have one more spell slot per level than an ordinary wizard. This means that Zhao Bin can now cast two first-level spells, two zero-level spells, or five zero-level spells each day. Each zero-level spell consumes 1 mental power, while a first-level spell consumes 1.5 mental power. When Zhao Bin's mental power is at full capacity, it is 5. Therefore, Zhao Bin can now cast two first-level spells, two zero-level spells, or five zero-level spells each day. Each zero-level spell consumes 1 mental power, while a first-level spell consumes 1.5 mental power, and Zhao Bin's mental power at full capacity is 5.

Zhao Bin glanced at his phone; it was 19:55 in the afternoon, and the room was plunged into darkness due to a power outage

Zhao Bin speculated that this person's abilities should be related to temperature

It now seems that some spells do not directly involve other beings, and are more likely to be universally applicable in this world, such as Acid Arrow, Cure Minor Wounds, and Evil Sacrifice. On the other hand, spells that can directly affect beings include Hypnosis and First-Level Otherworldly Summoning, among others... By the way, I wonder what kind of beings would be summoned by Otherworldly Summoning in this world?" Zhao Bin suddenly became interested

The first-level otherworldly summoning involves randomly summoning monster projections from adjacent planes at the cost of expending magical power to assist in combat. However, it remains uncertain whether there are monsters in this universe willing to accept such employment. Furthermore, the laws of this universe are far more rigid and cohesive than those of the previous world, leaving the success of the summoning in question

... ...

Yangzi chuckled apologetically twice

However ... ...

A shadow silently rolled out from the light membrane. At the same time, a stream of information instantly entered Zhao Bin's mind

As the resonance of magical power generated by the structure of mental energy occurred, an oval-shaped translucent light membrane slowly emerged from the void in the space one meter in front of Zhao Bin. The living room was suddenly filled with a hissing noise reminiscent of a television program with no signal

Zhao Bin had no choice but to remove the aluminum panel from one of the kitchen windows and throw the rotten meat outside. Immediately, a frenzy of shouting erupted below

He carefully cast all the spells he could currently release: Level 1 Spell: Evil Sacrifice (once per month), Level 0 Spells: Cure Minor Wounds, Acid Arrow, and Book, Improved Arrow Technique

He sat cross-legged on the floor of the storage room, entering a semi-meditative state, which required twice the time to recover compared to regular meditation. This was precisely the right environment to utilize, as the quicker the mental energy was restored, the sooner the experiment could commence

This is a placeholder text and does not contain any translatable content.

Today, I released a total of acid liquid missiles, performed the improved arrow technique twice at zero-level spells, conducted an evil sacrifice once at first-level spells, and the hypnosis spell failed without consuming any mental power. Excluding the activation of water traces, this means... Zhao Bin helplessly discovered that he only had one first-level spell slot left for today

On the morning of May 8, 2012, the weather was cloudy with a light breeze

Upon seeing this, Zhao Bin suddenly had an idea. These two individuals should be specifically here to search for supplies. Moreover, from their tone, it could be inferred that some of these awakened individuals have only recently awakened. ... Then ...

The overweight chef pulled a cigarette from somewhere, placed it between his lips, and took a satisfying puff

You might as well stay here and be my test subject... Inter-species transmission, letting you go would likely lead to dire consequences... Just right, my spell scroll is running low on ink; perhaps I can try using fresh human blood to see if it works

At that moment, a somewhat timid and fearful man's voice came from downstairs

Zhao Bin opened the liquefied gas and cooked the last two bowls of instant noodles, adding an extra egg and a slice of carrot, enjoying a delightful meal. Then, he prepared some biscuits and boiled them into a paste to feed the waking Li Fei, before comfortably lying back on the sofa

The chaotic sounds outside gradually faded away, and after a rumble, the convoy slowly arrived at the entrance of the player-oriented supermarket and came to a stop

At this moment, the outside was filled with the chaotic sounds of mutated dogs barking, explosions, gunfire, the shouts of the crowd, and screams. Li Fei naturally heard it all, but her mouth was taped shut by Zhao Bin, rendering her unable to speak; she could only shake her head in terror.
