【Ding! Skill "Charge Throw" has acquired B-tier trait: "Tracking"!】
(Tracking: After using the skill, the projectile will gain tracking ability, ensuring it can accurately hit the target)
Tracking!
Without even reading the description, Lu Chen understood the effect of this trait just from these two words!
"Although it didn't reduce skill consumption, Tracking isn't bad!"
"It's basically directly increasing accuracy to 100%."
Lu Chen actually had a "Self-Returning" dagger in his hand that was perfect for throwing attacks.
However, he had never practiced throwing knives or anything like that.
The appearance of the "Tracking" trait made up for this shortcoming.
"A self-returning dagger, combined with Charge Throw with Tracking..."
"Even without guns, I now have pretty decent long-range offensive capabilities."
"If I awaken another ability... these zombies might not be enough!"
The continuous improvement of his strength gave Lu Chen a sense of security.
Only by taking his fate into his own hands could he be truly safe!
"Finished testing?"
"Yeah."
After reuniting with Sakurajima Mai, Lu Chen took the initiative to explain.
"Using a card can acquire a skill."
"This slot machine is a gift... I have to milk its remaining value."
"Let's find a place to stay nearby, using the slot machine as the center."
The slot machine has a usage limit.
Each player can use it a maximum of 3 times. Lu Chen has used 1 time, leaving 2 times.
Sakurajima Mai also has 3 uses, for a total of 5.
Due to the effect of the "Guaranteed 10 Pull" trait, each use requires 50 Gear Coins.
To fully utilize all the chances, it will require a total of 250 Gear Coins!
Although it sounds like a huge amount.
After all, Lu Chen has only accumulated less than 70 Gear Coins so far.
But after some calculation, he realized that according to the rule of increasing monster spawn rate.
He and Sakurajima Mai's combined spawn rate could totally save up enough coins for the remaining draws!
Therefore, Lu Chen needed to find a safe place to stay nearby.
The shops on the commercial street, for aesthetics and customer convenience, all have open entrances.
This makes it incredibly vulnerable defensively, not suitable as a base at all.
After searching around, they finally chose the hotel building next to the slot machine as their base.
After blocking the entire staircase with furniture from the hotel, Lu Chen wiped the sweat off his forehead and took a long sigh.
"Whew... done, time to call it a day."
"Let's see where the zombies will spawn, based on the time."
Soon, the 6th 10 minutes arrived.
This was also the first hour that Lu Chen and Sakurajima Mai had spent in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.
The bloody prompt message appeared in front of both of them.
【Congratulations, you have successfully survived until now】
【The evacuation point has opened, proceed towards the location where the light column rises】
【Starting now, the number of enemies spawning around survivors will increase】
【The number of enemies will increase for every hour you stay】
【After 5 hours, the evacuation point will disappear. Missing it will mean you can never return to the safehouse!】
【Whether to evacuate or continue depends on you】
-
"These light columns... are they the location of the evacuation point."
Lu Chen looked out of the hotel window and found an evacuation point nearby.
From its location, it should be in the parking lot area around the hotel.
It's not too far, only a few minutes away.
"Should we evacuate?"
Lu Chen looked at Sakurajima Mai with a playful expression.
She actually has no reason to stay.
For a weak woman, getting out of danger and returning to the safehouse should be the safer choice.
"I want to hold on for a while longer."
However, Sakurajima Mai shook her head decisively, as if she had already made up her mind.
"Although it's dangerous here, it's also the only place to acquire supplies."
"If we just go back, the remaining time will be wasted."
"Besides... you need me, don't you?"
The last sentence, with its playful tone, was what Sakurajima Mai really wanted to say.
She knows her value—although she can't help much in combat.
But at least she can provide extra draws and spawn rate.
As she said before, two people are better than one.
"That's right, so I'm glad you stayed."
Lu Chen smiled in relief, then pointed out the window.
"Good news—we can rest for a while."
Sakurajima Mai followed his finger and looked out.
A group of ragged zombies were blocking the front entrance of the hotel, constantly wandering around.
Although they were just a simple obstruction, they wouldn't climb or jump over obstacles.
"This is... the zombies that spawned?"
Sakurajima Mai seemed to understand something and immediately realized.
"They can't break in, they can only gather nearby."
"Although their numbers will increase, we don't have to worry about them breaking in."
"That's the idea."
Lu Chen snapped his fingers in agreement.
He counted the number of zombies that spawned.
Exactly 10, no more, no less.
This means, based on the hourly limit.
Players need to face 5 zombie attacks every 10 minutes.
Double the number from the beginning!
Lu Chen couldn't imagine how many enemies he would have to face when he reached close to 6 hours!
"No wonder it's called 'Survivor Game'."
"The longer you survive, the greater the danger... "
"But if you don't take risks, you won't get stronger."
The initial rules clearly stated.
The dangerous area of the Survivor Game changes every 10 days, and the difficulty also increases!
Even if you can survive by escaping in the early stages.
But if you don't improve your strength, you probably won't be able to survive even 1 hour in the later stages!
Zombies should only be the weakest enemies. The types of enemies that spawn later... sound quite tough to deal with.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
After hearing that they could rest, both of them found a relatively clean room to stay in.
Now... what did Sakurajima Mai want to find him for?
"Come in."
Lu Chen looked curiously towards the door.
Sakurajima Mai was already in a silver-white nightgown, with a large bath towel over her shoulder, her long black hair draped casually behind her.
The short hem of the nightgown revealed her slender and long legs, white and tender, making one want to take a bite.
Noticing the scorching gaze on her, Sakurajima Mai coughed lightly, her face turning slightly red.
"I just came to remind you that there is surprisingly a water supply here."
"Although it's only cold water... it should be enough to clean ourselves."
After saying that, she quickly left Lu Chen's room.
As if she would be eaten by a beast if she stayed any longer.
Lu Chen, left alone, shook his head helplessly.
"Teasing and then leaving, what's that about... so unsportsmanlike."
