Closing the chat window, Zhao Feng frowned slightly.
His gaze swept across the open space outside, but he found no zombies or any strange creatures.
He checked the communication channel again; it was still filled with distress messages.
Yet, staring at the cleared open space outside, he couldn't even see a ghost.
' This is really something else! '
Seeing the outside world's lack of reaction, Zhao Feng felt this was not a good sign.
Either it was the calm before the storm.
Or this so-called Star Sea Survival was brewing some mischief.
Just as he was feeling uneasy, a faint blue halo suddenly lit up in the east.
This immediately drew Zhao Feng's attention to that direction.
Another 10 minutes passed, and the blue light became increasingly noticeable, allowing him to roughly discern that the luminous object was a blue...
"sphere???"
Zhao Feng felt a headache coming on. He recalled that no one in the regional channel had mentioned any type of monster being spherical and emitting blue light.
There wasn't even any that could glow!
Before he could figure it out, at the edge of the open space, withered-looking corpses slowly emerged from the forest.
The sudden appearance of these corpses finally made Zhao Feng feel a sense of familiarity.
These corpses were very similar to the zombies mentioned in the regional channel.
They all walked with a wobbly gait.
Seeing their clumsy way of walking, Zhao Feng might have even felt like helping them if he were back on Earth.
He casually threw a stone at them, wanting to test the zombies' reaction.
As a result, the zombies didn't react, but the Cheat System responded first.
（ Entering combat state, probing Other Party's information ）
（ Zombie: Possesses greater Strength, moves slowly. Can be killed without injury by maintaining distance. Originates from the misuse of certain Synthetic Protein. ）
（ Warning! When normal zombies gather in large numbers, they may trigger various Bizarre Changes. For example: after the Quantity exceeds ten thousand, the ability "Stacking" will be unlocked. ）
（ Suggestion: Try to reduce their Quantity as much as possible, and do not let them Assemble in one area. ）
..
The Support Cheat System's reminders were always so timely. Zhao Feng couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the information within.
' Without the prompt, who would have thought that normal zombies actually had combo skills? '
As time passed, the number of zombies appearing also increased.
Among them, besides normal zombies, some unusual existences also appeared.
Under the moonlight, several strange figures appeared at the edge of the forest.
Although they still had the shape of zombies, the mutation of their upper limbs had completely exceeded the Limit of natural evolution.
Calling them zombies was more like a giant worm inserted into the waist of a zombie.
A wrinkled, columnar body had completely replaced the human-like upper torso.
Their arms were deformed and atrophied, like two chopsticks dangling at their sides.
The head area had become something resembling worm mouthparts.
Staring at the newly appeared mutated monsters in the distance, Zhao Feng's brow furrowed deeply.
' What is this now? '
In combat state, the Cheat System's Efficiency was at its Ultimate. Lines of information popped up before his eyes again.
（ Worm Zombie: Extremely slow movement speed. Elites among them are called "Sprayers" and are a type of Fusion mutant. Be wary of their Mouthparts, which can tear steel. Originates from a certain biological fusion experiment. ）
（ Special Skill: Spitting Acidic Liquid ）
（ The Bio-acid can corrode most Organic Matter and slightly soften Metallic Materials. Its primary Principle is the precipitation of carbon elements, a process that generates intense heat. ）
（ Suggestion: Your 【 Wooden Wall 】 and 【 Wooden House 】 have virtually no Defense against it. Please enter the Underground Bunker as soon as possible. ）
Looking at the information popped up by the Cheat System, Zhao Feng's furrowed brow deepened.
At the same time, the blue light sphere from afar also came running over.
At this moment, normal zombies, worm zombies, and the unknown blue light sphere had all gathered.
This was completely different from the situations encountered by other players in the regional channel.
Others faced at most one type of monster.
But he? He was surrounded by at least three types of monsters.
This was no longer a matter of his scalp tingling.
Zhao Feng felt the pure malice this world held for him.
He asked himself, he hadn't been short on good deeds on Earth.
Like giving beggars fake money, educating them about the wickedness of human hearts.
Repeatedly helping old ladies cross the road, assisting the elderly in exercising.
Pretending to be blind to cross intersections, reminding society to pay Attention to public welfare.
He had done so many good deeds...
Unexpectedly, he could start with a "natural disaster" difficulty in this unscientific world of Star Sea Survival.
He pursed his lips, suppressing the urge to flee.
Although a wise person doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, the information about the blue light sphere had not yet been collected, which made him uneasy.
Ultimately, he only had the Underground Bunker as a Defensive Measure.
Only after collecting enough information and ensuring everything was foolproof could he feel Reassured.
If a poisonous gas sprayer or a burrowing monster were to appear, he would need to prepare in time.
Even in the worst case, he'd need to understand the surrounding information before making a run for it, right?
Therefore, he, Zhao Feng, had to stay above ground for now.
As time went by, the zombies got closer and closer to the wooden house.
But Zhao Feng didn't want to pay them any mind, his gaze fixed solely on the blue light sphere moving through the forest until it rushed out of the trees.
Seeing the blue light sphere fully in his sight, Zhao Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "Eh?"
The bizarre creature he had imagined did not appear.
Within the blue light sphere, he could vaguely see a female human wearing a Protective Suit...
' Protective Suit? Earth Player? '
The woman was startled when she saw Zhao Feng's wooden house, then she ran towards him frantically as if she had found a life-saving straw.
Fortunately, she ran with her head down and didn't shout, only attracting the nearby zombies without drawing too much attention.
The passing zombies surrounded her, but the faint blue shield around her was no joke.
Upon getting close, the zombies couldn't breach the barrier at all; in fact, they were all pushed back repeatedly.
Even the Acidic Liquid spat by the worm zombies vaporized upon contact with the shield, rendering it completely ineffective.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Feng's eyes lit up.
' Awesome! This must be a Shield Generator, right? Interesting, I need to find a chance to trick, no, borrow it to take a look. '
When she got closer, Zhao Feng opened the roof of his house and shouted in a low voice:
"Head towards the west Wall, there are very few zombies on that side. I'll open the door for you."
The woman below, seeing that there was indeed someone, responded excitedly:
"Which way is west?"
"Great, still directionally challenged."
"What?"
"The back door, go through the back door!"
After pointing out a clear path with gestures and words, Zhao Feng didn't bother to see if the other party understood.
He hastily closed the roof, grabbed both sides of the ladder, and slid down.
The so-called back door was the west side Wall facing the sea. Because this area wasn't yet surrounded by zombies, it was safer, so he let her come from this side.
Using the Drilling Laser to blast open the gap between the wooden house and the Wall, the "back door" was ready.
Immediately after, the woman enveloped by the blue light sphere also ran over.
The woman, hidden within the shield, was stunned when she clearly saw Zhao Feng's appearance.
' How could it be him!? '
Her mind immediately relaxed, and without hesitation, she deactivated the shield and rushed straight towards Zhao Feng.
Her silent rush into his arms almost made Zhao Feng incinerate her on the spot.
Fortunately, after seeing her Appearance, he promptly released his finger from the Trigger.
He stepped forward, embraced her waist, and helped her into the house.
Gently setting her down, Zhao Feng turned and quickly blocked the gap.
After dealing with it, he then said with a hint of teasing:
"Tell me what happened."
