The City of Terror Chapter 137 - Response Search

Chapter 137 – Response Search
With Wei Xiao Bei’s current perception, it would still be difficult to find a Licker that had just entered the building.
After thinking about this, he inspected his evolution points that had reached 430 points.
“Huang Kun, wait for me here.”
After Wei Xiao Bei said this, he lightly pressed on the rubber handrail and jumped on it, and then charged downwards.
His footsteps were so light that it did not attract the Zombies’ attention at all.
In an instant, Wei Xiao Bei had reached the fourth floor. Seeing that Wei Xiao Bei came down, the Zombies that were crowding around the fourth floor escalator let out a low groan. They extended their hands, attempting to catch Wei Xiao Bei.
Wei Xiao Bei somersaulted over the Zombies. With a single chop of the machete, a Zombie’s head had been cut in half, causing its black blood to splatter out.
Without waiting for the Zombies to turn around, he took advantage of this moment to swing his machete. The machete passed through the necks of two Zombies, sending their heads flying.
The ten Zombies that were crowding the escalator were killed off by Wei Xiao Bei in less than 30 seconds.
This was how powerful a Guo Shu Expert was in a real battle.
If Wei Xiao Bei did not think about whether the possibilities that the Zombies were infected by a powerful virus, he would have been able to quickly kill the Zombies at a faster time.
After cleaning up the Zombies crowding around the escalator, Wei Xiao Bei was not greedy. His foot left the ground and headed back up while walking the handrail.
After repeating this a few more times, Wei Xiao Bei returned back to the eighth floor.
After stopping Huang Kun from speaking with his hand, Wei Xiao Bei looked at his evolution points that had reached 534 points.
This should be enough.
Wei Xiao Bei placed his attention on his perception attribute and quickly use up his evolution points to increase his perception attribute.
15.01, 15.02, 15.03…… 20!
When it had reached 20 points, Wei Xiao Bei felt his brain assaulted by a fierce rumble. His mind immediately blanked out as if time had stopped.
After who knows how long, Wei Xiao Bei’s mind shook again. He suddenly noticed that he seemed to have something like clairvoyance. He was able to perceive the entire department store and even buildings further away.
He could sense the Zombies that were moving around, the broken faucet on the second floor toilet, the broken belt under the third floor escalator. He could even sense the two cars that were crashed into each other under the parking lot of the neighboring building.
As long as he concentrated hard, nothing in a thousand meter radius would be able to escape his perception.
After a long while, Wei Xiao Bei finally came back to his senses, but his face was still showing a dazed expression.
The state he entered into was too captivating. He felt like an omniscient god who could perceive anything a thousand meters away.
His judgement was not wrong at all. Increasing his perception to 20 points was truly a useful thing.
Response Search!
This was the ability that he had gained after increasing his perception to 20 points.
With this ability, it would be hard for any monster to ambush him.
The only problem was that the side-effect of this ability was a huge consumption of his mental energy.
After rubbing his head, Wei Xiao Bei sighed. Anything in this world had a price. Even if he paid the required evolution points, he still needed to give extra payment.
However, other than his newly added ability, his 20 points in perception had allowed him to perceive sound, light, vibrations, smell and many other things from the outside world.
In simpler terms, although this ability to perceive information from the outside was weaker than the response search ability, it would still allow him to find the enemy’s existence.
In reality, Wei Xiao Bei was slightly in regret after using his ability. He thought about the building that he used to enter The Dust World.
Although this ability was strong, he did not know if he could use it to find the strange footsteps.
However, Wei Xiao Bei had a slight premonition that if he used this ability to find the strange footsteps, he would not be satisfied with the result.
As Wei Xiao Bei was thinking, he heard Huang Kun’s voice.
“Big brother Wei, are you alright??”
Huang Kun hesitated when he saw Wei Xiao Bei just standing there after returning. In the end, he chose to speak up.
“I’m fine,” Wei Xiao Bei said, as he came back to his senses.
Seeing that nothing was wrong with Wei Xiao Bei, Huang Kun spilled out the words that he wanted to say, “Your skills are so amazing. Can you teach me how to kill these Zombies?”
“Oh? I can, but it depends on how brave you are.”
Wei Xiao Bei smiled at Huang Kun.
Huang Kun was not a bad student in the dojo. When he tried a few Bajiquan techniques, his appeared close to the actual form. However, he was only a junior high school student. His body was not that tall, and he did not have any real battle experience. As for his skill, he was not even close to Wei Xiao Bei’s level when Wei Xiao Bei began learning.
Wei Xiao Bei originally planned to protect him until they left The Dust World.
However, Wei Xiao Bei then thought about how the boy had even entered The Dust World in the first place.
And then, he thought about what would happen if he entered again.
He could not always protect him. He had to teach the boy how to protect himself.
“Before anything else, how did you come here?”
Wei Xiao Bei thought about it and immediately asked.
Huang Kun finally responded. Seeing his big brother Wei’s appearance, he guessed that he had been here for a long time. His big brother Wei was not afraid of the Zombies at all, which made him endlessly admire him.
“I was playing games at home, and then suddenly I was in here.”
Huang Kun told Wei Xiao Bei his experience in a low voice.
Originally, Huang Kun became extremely interested with Resident Evil after watching the movie. As a result, he downloaded the game and played it for a few nights.
Today was a Friday. It was self-study time in the afternoon so he immediately returned home to play the game. He controlled the beautiful female protagonist and killed zombies everywhere in the game.
After playing until he was tired, he rubbed his dry eyes and the next moment he suddenly entered this terrifying place.
After hearing this, Wei Xiao Bei understood that the way for Huang Kun to enter The Dust World had been through playing games.
Moreover, the place he entered The Dust World was the same in reality, Huang Kun’s home!
After entering The Dust World, he initially thought that he was dreaming when he was his dust filled room. After understanding that he was not in a dream, the fatty became extremely frightened.
When he came out of his home, he immediately saw a few swaying Zombies.
Without a doubt, this made him remember the movie that he had seen.
After seeing the movies and playing the games, he began to delude himself that he had become the protagonist who carried weapons to kill these zombies, he would save the people and become a superhero by the end.
Once in a while, every child would dream their own version of becoming a hero. There were those that thought of piloting a fighter plane in the skies, some thought of carrying guns and charging into a battlefield, some thought of piloting a spaceship to fight against alien invaders.
In short, Huang Kun’s dream was normal.
When he was so close to his dream, he had forgotten his fear about the Zombies. He picked up a rotten wooden stick and charged towards a Zombie.
His dream was beautiful, but the ending was terrifying.
Huang Kun endured the disgusting stick and hit the Zombie on its back. After making the Zombie stagger, it immediately turned around and charged at Huang Kun.
After seeing it face to face, Huang Kun saw the Zombie’s shocking appearance face-to-face. The Zombie’s ash gray eye ball was about to fall out from its eye sockets. Its face was deathly pale and rotting. Its mouth had yellow and black teeth and a maggot appeared from the inside.
“Ah!”
In reality, the Zombies inside the movies and games were terrifying, but there was still a huge difference compared to real Zombies.
No matter how big his guts were, Huang Kun was only a junior high student, a 14 year-old.
In the short amount that he lived, let alone a real Zombie, he had never even seen the rotting corpse of an animal.
It was easy to imagine how terrified he was when he saw the Zombie’s disgusting face.
He shouted in fear, turned around and ran for his life.
As a result, the 700 strong Zombie group was attracted to his shout.
In the end, he ran for who knows how long and encountered Wei Xiao Bei.
Combining this method with the way Huang Da Jun entered The Dust World, Wei Xiao Bei was able to discover that there were differences between how people entered The Dust World. If he wanted to truly understand The Dust World, it would be a difficulty beyond just difficult.
After listening to Huang Kun’s experience, Wei Xiao Bei thought for a bit and decided to bring Huang Kun down to give him evolution points.
Moreover, he wanted to see what kind of changes would happen if someone other than him killed the Zombies.
When those Zombies had scattered in the department store, their density had decreased. For Wei Xiao Bei, killing all of them now was an easy thing to do.
As long as a Licker did not appear, Wei Xiao Bei would have no problem in keeping Huang Kun alive.
“In a moment, you will observe how I kill the Zombies first. Do you understand?”
Wei Xiao Bei told him this and then took the lead to go down the escalator. On the other hand, Huang Kun held onto the emergency hatchet and carefully followed behind. The grave look on his face made it seem as if he was holding onto a bomb.
The Zombies in the sixth floor were the least out of all the floors. Wei Xiao Bei had intentionally left them alone. Right now, there were only five Zombies roaming around the floor.
Killing them would not give Wei Xiao Bei much evolution points, so he decided to leave them for Huang Kun.
If Huang Kun did not take the initiative to mention this, Wei Xiao Bei would have brought up the topic.
“Ha!”
Wei Xiao Bei moved towards a Zombie and shouted in a low voice. His voice just loud enough to only attract that Zombie’s attention. Its body stopped for a moment, and then moved towards the direction of the escalator.
