Chapter 118: Staying Together
“Ding! Congratulations, host. You have killed a zombie dog and received 20 points.”
“Ding! Congratulations, host. You have killed a zombie dog and received 20 points.”
“Ding! Congratulations, host. You have killed a zombie dog and received 20 points.”
As zombie dogs fell one after another, system prompts kept sounding in Occam’s mind.
These zombie dogs were obviously harder to deal with than those ordinary zombies.
However, the rewards of 20 points were also double that of ordinary zombies.
In just a while, Occam’s points increased from 130 to 270.
Occam noticed something. There were eight zombie dogs, but in fact, he only received points for seven.
In other words, the first zombie dog that Alice killed, Occam, did not give him any points.
Occam thought for a moment and immediately understood. He would not be able to obtain points if any zombies died around him. He would only obtain points if he participated in the killing.
Because Alice killed the first zombie dog by herself, Occam did not have any points.
Later on, when Alice shot, Occam used his Metal Control to help, so it was counted as his kill.
Understanding the system’s judgment was very helpful for Occam’s subsequent points.
“See that? My aim.”
After the bullets were fired and all the zombie dogs fell, Alice looked at Occam excitedly.
She still could not believe that her aim had become so good.
She could actually shoot such a high-speed target in the head.
What confused her even more was that she had aimed at the bodies of some of the zombie dogs, but after she fired, their heads exploded instead.
She now felt that she was a natural shooter.
As long as she had a gun, no monster would be her match.
This feeling of shooting the zombie dogs in the head was too satisfying. Even as a woman, she was very infatuated with this feeling.
“Ahem! That’s right, your shooting skills are the best I’ve seen.”
Occam did not explain when he heard this. He tried hard not to laugh. He gave Alice a thumbs-up and exclaimed.
Although Alice was the main character here, he had only known her for a short time.
As his life-saving metal control ability, he naturally could not let her know about it.
Since she did not notice, he could just take it that she was the one who killed him.
In any case, the points he obtained from the kill were his.
“It’s not good to stay here. Let’s leave first!”
Occam knew zombies were the most susceptible to sound.
Alice had fired so many shots. It would definitely cause the nearby zombies to gather.
He extended his hand to indicate to Alice to continue supporting him and leave.
“Mm!”
Alice nodded, dropped the empty pistol, walked over and helped Occam out.
Occam habitually threw his arms around Alice’s neck.
“Wait.”
Alice had just stepped out of the door of the security office when she suddenly stopped.
“What is it?” Occam asked, looking puzzled.
“You’re hurt badly, aren’t you?” Alice said.
“Of course. Didn’t you see it in the restaurant?”
Occam was puzzled. ‘You were in my arms when the explosion happened. Didn’t you see how powerful the collision was? So why did you ask such a question?’
“Go and die.”
Alice frowned at this, her face showing her anger. She grabbed Occam by the shoulder and threw him out.
“Ouch!”
Occam cried out in pain from the fall. He got up from the ground and said angrily to Alice, “What are you doing? Do you want to kill me?!”
Occam was puzzled, wondering what was wrong with Alice.
She was just fine a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, she turned hostile.
“You’re so seriously injured, yet you’re still alive and kicking? You tricked me!”
Alice saw that Occam could still get up after being thrown. Clearly, he was fine.
She had a feeling there was something wrong with Occam. He said he was seriously injured and she had also seen him seriously injured.
However, when he was fighting the zombie dog, he faced eight zombie dogs alone with a chair leg.
The situation was critical just now, so she did not think carefully. Now that the fight was over, her agent’s instincts immediately realized that something was wrong.
After this fall, it completely confirmed her guess that Occam was fine.
‘Why did you pretend to be injured and let me help you? Are you trying to take advantage of me?’
How could she bear it?
“Eh! Really, I can walk now and run. I can still jump. I didn’t even notice when I recovered.”
Occam froze at the sound. He moved his hand, twisted his waist, took a few steps and started running again. He could even jump.
He was surprised to find that the injury on his back from the explosion had completely healed. It no longer hurt.
Before entering, he only felt that his recovery speed was amazing and could barely walk.
Now he realized that not only was he fine, but he could walk, run, and jump.
Alice saw Occam running and jumping and felt like she had been tricked. She stormed out the door.
“Hey, wait for me! I’m really not lying to you. I don’t know when I recovered either.”
Occam saw Alice leave angrily and hurried after her, explaining.
Indeed, he did not expect his recovery rate to be so strong after activating the Magnetic King gene.
He admitted that when he came in, he knew that he could barely walk, but he did not know that he had completely recovered in just a short while.
He really did not want to lie to her.
Alice ignored Occam and walked faster.
‘You don’t even know when you recovered. Who are you trying to fool?! You were not injured from the beginning.’
If he had really been injured in the explosion, he would not have been able to walk for so long with her.
Wasn’t that nonsense?
Therefore, Alice thought Occam had been lying to her from the beginning.
It was to take advantage of her.
It was her fault for not having a sharp eye. She did not see that he was pretending.
How could she have known that Occam’s initial injuries were real and his subsequent healing was real?
After all, he was a man who had awakened a mutant. It was normal for him to have a stronger recovery rate.
Occam really could not explain this.
The two of them walked forward without saying a word. Furthermore, there was a possibility of danger in the darkness around them, making the already oppressive atmosphere even worse.
Alice did not want to talk but Occam ignored her and chose not to explain.
Soon, the two of them entered the office.
The chairs and documents were scattered everywhere, indicating the panic of the crowd before the crisis.
“Lisa!?”
Suddenly, a man’s puzzled voice came from the office.
“Roar!”
“Bang!”
“Clang ~”
Then, Occam and Alice heard the roar of zombies and the sound of objects falling. Clearly, the man inside had been attacked by zombies.
“Matt!”
Hearing the voice, Occam and Alice looked at each other. Almost simultaneously, they spoke and made the same move.
Alice did not hesitate. She grabbed a crystal cube on the desk and rushed in.
