Chapter 4, The Dog Man's Machete

In the streets, one encounters not only dogmen and catmen, but also a variety of other monsters that have not been seen before. However, some of these are quite familiar, as they often appear in games or film and television works

Zhang Mu pushed the suitcase through the iron gate and gestured for the fat man to go in first. The fat man began to crawl through the gate, and fortunately, thanks to the Berserker's physical enhancement, otherwise his weight of 250 pounds would have made it quite difficult. Just as the fat man was halfway through, an unexpected incident occurred

Zhang Mu used his arm as a handle, and a flash of cold light swept across the cat person's neck, nearly severing it completely. This strike was both fierce and precise, instantly killing the cat person. Zhang Mu turned his attention to the third cat person, dodging an attack while seizing an opening, and with three swift strikes, he cleaved it to death

Zhang Muchong rushed forward and, in a single encounter, the cat person was decisively slain under the blade.

It is done, now I really have to meet Chairman Mao. Boss, I have let you down!

The fat man trembled on his legs: "Isn't it quite nice for us to hide in the suburbs?"

Zhang Mu said: "This is a skill specially granted by the system to prevent players from being completely eliminated. Each person is only allowed to obtain one; do not think about absorbing a second. Don't waste your time." He stuffed another silver orb into his backpack, and the two continued running towards the bus station.

A series of strange cries echoed ahead, prompting the two to immediately slow their pace, while the stout man nervously raised his axe

What does this have to do with two hundred pounds of meat? Don't tie everything to my weight!

The chubby person was filled with surprise and joy: "There are skills inside the light sphere!"

Zhang Mu cast a glance at him and said, "Don't ask so many questions"

[Brutal Charge LV1], D-grade skill, maximum level LV5, maximum attack range 30 meters, charges at the target with 200% movement speed, dealing 100% attack + 5 points of damage, with a certain probability of stunning the target for 1 second, consumes 5 MP, cooldown time 3 minutes

The player's initial backpack has five slots, which can only hold items with attributes

The overweight man was someone with a relatively simple brain structure. Unable to contain his confusion, he opened his mouth to ask a question, only to turn around and see a shadow behind Zhang Mu. It was a tall man dressed in a cloak, his black hood obscuring most of his face, revealing a small portion of his face wrapped in white bandages. His eyes emitted a strange red light, and his aura was chilling, unlike that of a human, as he sat in a tall black truck.

Zhang Mu glanced at the fat man's crotch and disdainfully said: "A grown man would be scared to the point of wetting his pants; those few hundred pounds of flesh are truly in vain"

That being said, the stout man obediently chose the profession of Berserker

Occupation? As the thought of smashing monsters crossed my mind, a notification sound echoed in my ears, and a segment of information regarding job introductions appeared in my mind. "So many professions? Which one should I choose?"

The number of monsters is considerable

Oh my, there is a ghost

There is a type of creature with green skin, a smooth body, a long nose, pointed ears, and emits a croaking sound similar to that of a frog

Help me!

The overweight man, dragging a suitcase and an axe, called out breathlessly

Zhang Mu saw two blue skill orbs in the flower bushes, which must be two excellent skills. He directly ignored the fat man and walked towards the flower bushes with his knife raised

"Can you be a little less foolish?" Zhang Mu cursed, kicking the axe into the iron gate. He leaped up, climbed the gate, and in just a few moves surpassed the fat man, entering the parking lot first. "Hurry down!"

The cat person is a speed-type monster, possessing remarkable reflexes. Its keen hearing allows it to detect incoming threats, prompting it to stand up immediately. Its eyes glow with a faint light, and it lets out a loud cry of "Meow—Aow!" from its blood-stained mouth, pouncing with all four limbs. The cat person's weapon is its sharp claws, which have low attack power but a notably high speed.

I do not understand why m.hetushu.com needs to go to the bus station The overweight man, dragging over 200 pounds of fat and carrying a large suitcase, ran while asking, Now there are monsters everywhere, we should find a safe place to hide

Occupation: Berserker

The bus station is currently under renovation and is not in operation, resulting in no one being present at the station. However, whether it is the hospital or the campus, these are all densely populated areas. The denser the population, the greater the number of monsters that appear. Therefore, this generation is a particularly dangerous place

Another cat person pounced from the side. Zhang Mu reacted quickly, but his body could not keep up. He sidestepped to avoid a critical hit, but the claws left five deep wounds on his chest. The cat person's claws were extremely long, and the tearing pain caused him to momentarily lose his vision. Zhang Mu leveled up and restored his health to 79%.

Zhang Mu established a team and invited Fatty to join. As the two passed by a canine corpse, Zhang Mu noticed a small object floating beside the body; it was a mini machete, about the length of a finger. The drop rate for ordinary monsters is extremely low; even after defeating hundreds or thousands, one might not see a single item drop. Yet, within just a few minutes, an equipment piece appeared, truly a stroke of good fortune

"Please don't keep poking at my sore spots, alright? I don't want to gain hundreds of pounds either," the chubby man said with a mournful expression. "Besides, are you even human? How can I compare to you!"

[Goblin], Level 3 Common Monster, Health 20 (100%), Magic 30 (100%) Attributes ? ? ? ? Skills ? ?

Magic: 10 (100%)

As soon as Zhang Mu's hand touched the mini machete, it vanished from the ground and appeared in his backpack

"Could you not cause me any more trouble?" Zhang Mu was so angry that he wished he could kick the fat man to death. "Let's go, they can't get in for now."

Zhang Mu was too lazy to pay him any attention. He picked up the two gold coins dropped by the cat person and collected two blue skill orbs from the flower bushes. One skill was called "Healing Hand" and the other was called "Brutal Charge." He handed the "Brutal Charge" to the chubby man

Zhang Mu said to the fat man: "Upon entering the bus station, do not disturb the monster"

Zhang Mu walked towards the bus station, with a stout man shivering closely behind him. Zhang Mu calculated the alert range of the creature, walking calmly within the visual blind spot, avoiding the keenly sensitive dog-men, and silently approaching the bus station. Inside the iron gate was a parking lot, where a dozen large buses and minibuses were parked, empty and devoid of any people.

Boss, wait for me, don't run so fast!

Zhang Mu said irritably: "Choose for yourself!"

The Berserker, as the highest attacking class among physical melee professions, has explosive power second only to that of the Assassin, with overall output only surpassed by the Elementalist. After choosing this profession, the hefty individual was immediately infused with boundless divine power, instilling in him a formidable confidence that he could knock down a water buffalo with a single punch

Rough Dogman Cleaver (Inferior Black Iron Tool), Attack +5, Durability 15/15

"I almost lost my life." The chubby man, still shaken, said: "Your skills are exceptional... Were you a special forces soldier in the past?"

The monster stands approximately 1.5 meters tall, has yellow fur, a spotted pattern all over its body, a pair of cat ears, a long tail, and often emits a sharp scream of "aow aow" from its mouth

Zhang Mu's speed is slightly inferior to that of the cat person; however, his timing is exceptionally precise. In the moment he dodges the attack, his blade strikes the cat person's abdomen. The sharp edge cuts through fur, and the internal organs spill out in a rush, causing the health points to plummet from 25 to 7, a decrease of nearly 70%. Zhang Mu kicks the severely injured cat person over and delivers a ruthless blow, ending its life.

Experience Upgrade: 0%

Zhang Mu glared at him and said, "No one is forcing you to follow me"

The fat man failed to catch the axe, only hearing a "clang" as the fire axe fell to the ground. Nearby monsters immediately turned their attention towards it

Zhang Mu turned around and realized that the chubby man had been left far behind, "You haven't chosen a profession yet, have you?"

There is another type of humanoid monster, which is even shorter than a goblin, standing at only about 1.3 meters tall. It has gray skin, a gaunt physique, and is emaciated, with very few strands of hair. Its ears are pointed, its eyes bulge outward, and it has a mouth full of sharp teeth, with gray wrinkled skin resembling that of a man in his eighties or nineties

His transformation into the foremost Berserker in the future is not a mere coincidence

Not far away, there are several snow-white buildings—Jiangcheng University Affiliated Hospital

As long as one chooses a profession, there will be a strengthening process, and even a person weighing over 200 pounds should not run that slowly

The heavyset individual, weighing over 200 pounds, fell to the ground, causing the earth to tremble. A large group of monsters, drawn by the sound, gathered outside the parking lot, roaring incessantly

Continuing along this road, the main campus of Jiangda University is just a few kilometers away

Two individuals are qualified players and can see part of the monster's information. When they concentrate and gaze intently at the monster, a segment of text will appear beside the monster.

The fat man has stopped talking.

Damn it, the monster is eating people! The fat man felt nauseous, retracted his neck and said: Let's go around while it hasn't noticed us yet.

The two individuals sprinted towards the bus station, a distance of five to six kilometers, and with their enhanced physical condition, fifteen minutes was more than sufficient

Constitution: 6

Life: 30 (100%)

Zhang Mu and the胖子 stealthily entered the parking lot of the bus station. Although they were far away, they could clearly hear screams and the roars of monsters coming from the direction of the hospital. There were the howls of dog-like creatures, the cries of cat-like beings, but many more sounds were indistinguishable.

The ground was strewn with pieces of flesh and entrails, fresh blood still flowing. Not long ago, several humans were attacked here, torn apart by four or five hideous monsters, who dragged them into the flower bushes in the middle of the road and were savoring the corpses with great delight

The seemingly timid and sordid individual possesses an inherent tenacity, capable of unleashing extraordinary courage at critical moments, which is quite rare. This is because everyone requires an adaptation period; when one is living a normal life and suddenly encounters a group of murderous and terrifying monsters, even the bravest individuals will panic and feel fear. Very few dare to confront the monsters head-on at the onset of disaster.

Whether it is a dog person or a cat person, their physical strength is nearly twice that of an ordinary person, and a three-meter iron gate is simply unable to stop them

The fat man swallowed his saliva: "It is ... ... it is!"

Agility: 6

Along the way, we encountered a few scattered monsters, but there were no real dangers, and we arrived at the bus station smoothly. From a distance, we could smell a strong scent of blood.

Spirit: 3

The quality of equipment is divided into nine levels: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Dark Gold, Epic, Legendary, Miracle, and Mythical. The higher the quality of the equipment, the stronger its attributes. Black Iron is the lowest quality, yet it is currently considered a priceless treasure, at least more useful than a fire axe

Zhang Mu took the equipment out of his backpack, and in his hand appeared a heavy knife. The knife is three feet long, somewhat heavy, with a slightly curved tip, resembling a cleaver. The back of the knife is thick and pitch black, while the blade is a bright, snowy white, showing some signs of wear.

The overweight man said with a bitter smile: "I suffered from hydrocephalus when I was a child, and my mind has never been quite right since. Just give me an idea."

Early-stage D-level skills are extremely rare and precious. Although they cannot compare to Zhang Mu's A-level skills, they are nonetheless an attack skill, making them quite practical under the current circumstances

As the two individuals were leaving the bridge, they discovered a dog-man who had dropped 2 coins. Although 2 coins are pitifully few, they are certainly better than having none at all

Zhang Mu threw the fire axe to the fat man, "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

Strength: 10

The fat man immediately exclaimed, "This knife is quite impressive!"

The glass of the hospital has been stained red, flowing with fresh blood... There...! ... It is likely to become a scene of carnage!

The overweight man was targeted by a cat-human. Lacking practical combat experience, he had only a fierce determination. However, despite swinging the fire axe six or seven times, he failed to even touch a single hair of the cat-human. His shoulders and back were scratched twice by the cat-human's claws, causing him such pain that he nearly fainted
