Chapter 140 - Earning Points

    “Come down!’

    Wei Xiao Bei stood in front of the escalator . He did not even turn back and swung his machete, killing a Zombie that was attempting to ambush him from behind .

    Although Huang Kun did not have enough rest, he had stayed long enough on the higher floor . Hearing Wei Xiao Bei’s voice, he immediately rushed down .

    “Master, careful!”

    Another Zombie pounced from behind Wei Xiao Bei again . With a whoosh, the blade cut off the Zombie’s head .

    “It’s your turn!”

    If Wei Xiao Bei wanted to see more changes to Huang Kun’s body, he needed Huang Kun to kill more Zombies . Moreover, because of their age difference, Huang Kun’s stamina could only support him a short amount of time . As a result, Wei Xiao Bei had weakened the Zombies beforehand .

    “Abominable Zombies… . . ”

    Huang Kun made a pose which almost made him receive another kick in the butt from Wei Xiao Bei . He did not dare speak anymore and charged forward with his hatchet .

    After losing some limbs, the Zombies appeared much more terrifying, but in terms of battle ability, they had probably been reduced to 70 percent of their former selves .

    For Huang Kun, those kinds of Zombies gave him the greatest opportunity to temper himself . Even if the 4-5 Zombies surrounded him, he would be able to safely deal with them .

    The only problematic thing was whether or not his stamina could continue supporting him .

    Time slowly passed by, and Wei Xiao Bei carefully observed from the side as Huang Kun kept killing Zombies . The changes in his body became even clearer .

    After cleaning up the Zombies on the fourth floor, Huang Kun was gasping for breath, but did not limp on the floor .

    In this battle, Huang Kun had killed 37 Zombies .

    Because it was necessary to chop off or destroy the Zombie’s head, a large jag appeared on the hatchet . Even if the Zombie’s bones were weaker than a human’s, they were still bones . As a result, his hatchet was ready to be scrapped .

    Other than that, he needed to dodge the Zombie’s attacks, which heavily consumed his stamina .

    If it was the Wei Xiao Bei that had just entered The Dust World, he probably would not have been able to even stand after killing 37 Zombies .

    Huang Kun still had the energy to remain standing . This proved that his endurance attribute had increased a lot .

    From Wei Xiao Bei’s point of view, Huang Kun’s benefits from killing the Zombies were mostly placed into his muscle, endurance, and health . Among them, endurance increased the most . The sub-attributes under agility should have also had slight increases .

    The entire process of this should be following the rule of increasing what was needed . Which attribute was used the most at that time was increased .

    This kind of attribute increase was different from Wei Xiao Bei’s control over his status panel . Moreover, the efficiency should be around less than 70 percent of the status panel .

    Adding to the Zombies that Huang Kun previously killed, he had killed 52 Zombies .

    Every Zombie gave 8 evolution points . 52 Zombies would mean 416 evolution points .

    From Huang Kun’s appearance, roughly around only 280 evolution points were allocated .

    Naturally, for a brat like Huang Kun, the changes caused by an additional 280 evolution points allocated into his three attributes was very visible .

    After all, the average junior high schooler’s status value should be around 5 .

    An increase in endurance would be clearly visible .

    In truth, Huang Kun himself felt changes to his body . After a short break, he had actually taken the initiative to go down and kill Zombies .

    As previously said, the distribution of the Zombies was like a pyramid . The amount of Zombies on the third floor numbered around 100 . They were also densely packed together . Moreover, a slight error would be able to attract the attention of the Zombies on the second floor .

The Zombies mainly used their hearing to chase their prey and not their sight .

    For this reason, Wei Xiao Bei allowed Huang Kun to move to the middle of the escalator . The two of them each guarded the up and down escalator . Then, they threw down an old clothes rack on the floor to attract their attention .

    This way, they would just wait for the enemy to come up, preventing the enemy to surround them . Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei would be able to bring away Huang Kun if any problems happened .

    The clothes rack fell on the ground, creating a clear sound . The sound was like a magnet attracting the Zombies .

    If Wei Xiao Bei used his response search right now, he would see that there were also Zombies in the second floor that were attracted to the sound . He would see how the Zombies would look up at the ceiling with their open mouths filled with rotting teeth .

    This appearance looked as if they were about to bite a hole onto the ceiling .

    After throwing the clothes rack, a group of more than 50 Zombies crowded the escalator, striving to be first to go up the escalator . They extended their hand and pulled down the ones in front with a slow speed .

    The hatchet in Huang Kun’s hand was his second one . The previous one had been  worn out to the point that it could even fall off the handle and chop off his own foot .

    Luckily, the fire prevention measures of the department store was not bad . Although the fire hose was tattered, the hatchets still maintained their original appearance .

    Seeing that a Zombie had climbed up a few steps, Huang Kun went down a few steps and chopped down .

    Facing the hatchet, the Zombie did not even have the awareness to dodge . It only extended its hands towards Huang Kun, and in the end, its head was chopped in half, but this time, the hatchet got stuck . Huang Kun had already previously experienced this a few times . He grabbed the handrail with his left hand and kicked with his right foot . The hatchet dislodged from the Zombie, while it fell flat on the escalator .

    With the escalator acting almost as a funnel, Huang Kun was able to kill the Zombies much more comfortably .

    The only problem was that after killing Zombies one after the other, the corpses accumulating on the escalator was continually increasing . As a result, when the Zombies climbed up, they were in a higher position than Huang Kun .

    Under this situation, Huang Kun had no choice but to retreat . After distancing himself, he was able to get rid of the Zombies’ advantage .

    However, the escalator was too short . After killing more than 20 Zombies, Huang Kun had no choice but to retreat back to the fourth floor .

    By contrast, Wei Xiao Bei was still standing in his original position . Those Zombies that had died were kicked back to the third floor by him .

    Seeing this scene, Huang Kun was in admiration . However, this had caused a huge desire to arise from him .

    When? Until when can I become able to kill Zombies as easily as master?

    He had become distracted at that moment . If Wei Xiao Bei did not make his move, Huang Kun would have probably been given a ‘kiss’ by an incoming Zombie .

    Huang Kun, who was saved by Wei Xiao Bei did not show a terrified expression at all . On the contrary, he once again charged towards the Zombies after picking up his hatchet .

    At this time, a few Zombies had already climbed up the fourth floor .

    Wei Xiao Bei immediately pulled Huang Kun back and dragged him towards the fifth floor .

    This was the benefit of being in a building . The ground was flat, so retreating and advancing was easy . They could easily retreat back up to the ninth floor .

    In reality, the total amount of Zombies on the third floor was around 100 . After the two of them killed Zombies on the escalator, they had killed more than 50 Zombies . The Zombies that were able to catch up to them were about 20, while the remaining Zombies were still slowly climbing up the escalator .

    Seeing that Huang Kun had used up a lot of stamina, Wei Xiao Bei did not hold back . He quickly waved his machete like he was dancing .

    Before they went up to the fifth floor, the Zombies that were chasing them were all killed .

    Soon, the two of them once again returned to the third to fourth floor escalator and killed the Zombies that were climbing up .

    After killing all the Zombies on the third floor, Wei Xiao Bei felt slightly tired .

    As for Huang Kun, he had already sat down on the floor without being able to budge anymore .

    On 100 over Zombies, Wei Xiao Bei had killed 60 percent while the rest were from Huang Kun’s hatchet .

    Although Huang Kun’s status would increase after killing the Zombies, his mental weariness did not have any time to recover .

    In other words, the battle that lasted for half an hour had completely spent Huang Kun . Even his potential had been spent .

    Seeing Huang Kun on the floor, Wei Xiao Bei frowned . There were still 600 Zombies downstairs . At this time, Wei Xiao Bei also considered his own stamina .

    If a person had completely spent their stamina, they would not be able to face against an encirclement of Zombies no matter how strong they were .

    Let alone the mysterious Dust World, if a person did not have enough stamina, they could only sit in the face of death when danger came .

    “Rest for a bit . ”

    Wei Xiao Bei sat close to the escalator while ignoring the disgusting smell coming from the corpses . He took out a bottle of water and hardtack and gave them to Huang Kun .

    Huang Kun waved his hand, indicating that he did not feel like eating .

    Wei Xiao Bei knew that this was not because Huang Kun did not need the energy, but because spending his stamina had suppressed the feeling of hunger .

    “You must eat . ”

    Wei Xiao Bei did not say much . He patted Huang Kun’s head . Patting it harder and harder until Huang Kun took the water and food and began eating slowly .

    Wei Xiao Bei counted the food and water in his backpack . There were still a lot of high nutrition energy bars and convenient water bags . But the hardtack had been decreased to two and the bottled water to one .

    After drinking water, he took out a high nutrition energy bar and ate it .

    In truth, he did not care about what he ate, but eating the same thing all the time would eventually destroy how the food tasted .

    After eating the high nutrition energy bar, Wei Xiao Bei suddenly stood up . He took big strides towards the window and looked outside .

    Seeing Wei Xiao Bei’s appearance, Huang Kun did not know what happened, but he did not dare delay and stood up as well . He immediately stuffed the hardtack in his mouth and accidentally choked on it . He immediately drank all the water to clear his throat .
