Apocalypse: System of lotteries

Chapter 238 Eldred Ross



"Zone upgraded into a dungeon..." Ming looked around, the traces of the earthquake were still present, but unlike Zone 109, there were no square hills here. However, there were some cracks in the ground.

Opening the map, he found himself at the southern edge of the square zone, one meter behind him was the boundary of the mist. Converting the scale, this zone was four times the size of Zone 109.

He knew that there was only one reason for the formation of a zone dungeon so far: the people here hadn\'t completed the shared kill. Therefore, the final boss here was a five-star king-level creature.

Fortunately, he has the froglets to kill the zombie \'which shouldn\'t be too difficult. The challenge was to clear all the zombies in such a large area, as luring them with sounds might not be enough. At this moment, it would be great if Mike were here; he could make use of his unique skills.

Let\'s begin!

Ming took out Da Vinci and found that Medusa didn\'t come along. It dared to leave such a small thing at home... he hoped that the little spider wouldn\'t evolve into a three-headed creature.

[Your froglets happily bounce in place, finally able to go out and play. They invite the bear cub to join them, but the bear cub shakes its head and holds onto Ming\'s left hand...]

"…"

Ming ignored the two silly frogs and walked forward with the bear cub. He opened the copy achievements to check the requirements:

[1: Kill the final boss within 4 hours for a three-star rating]

[2: Kill all zombies and mutated creatures within 12 hours for a five-star rating]

"Time is an issue."

After checking the requirements, Ming felt that killing the final boss shouldn\'t be difficult. The challenge was that the dungeon zone was quite large, and to achieve a five-star rating, he needed to kill all the zombies.

He thought about it and made a decision: first, kill the boss in the shortest possible time, then lure and kill the zombies on a large scale. Even if he couldn\'t achieve a five-star rating in the end, he would still be able to return home.

Ming opened the mission progress to check the total number of zombies in the dungeon:

[Shared Boss: 0/5]

[Humanoid Zombies: 0/3934]

"!!"

Ming stopped and carefully looked at the progress data again, feeling a bit uneasy.

He had thought there was only one shared boss, but there were actually five!

How could there be five? Ming looked around cautiously while continuing to think. It was highly likely that this zone had not completed the first shared kill, and it accumulated until the fifth time when everyone died, turning the zone into an individual random dungeon.

Those who died became the zombies here, which was why there were nearly 4,000 zombies in the entire dungeon!

"Could it be?" Ming suddenly realized that today was only the fifth shared boss, so the last survivor of this zone had not been dead for long. The reason for the dungeon\'s formation was no longer important, nor was achieving a five-star rating. The most important thing was to return within 24 hours.

Even if all the zombies were lined up waiting to be killed, it would be impossible to complete it in a short time.

"So..." Ming adjusted his glasses, a smile appearing on his face.

"This zone is a super... gold mine!"

[As your froglets pass by a flower bed, they see flowers shimmering with a phosphorescent glow. They think these flowers are valuable and hope you\'ll collect them later, as they want to find something delicious for the bear cub...]

[Your foodie spots a blue-eyed zombie wielding a pair of silvery, shimmering long knives approaching them. As the foodie passes by, the zombie\'s knives vanish... Foodie and the zombie make eye contact, "You can\'t even hold onto them, that\'s not my problem..."]

[Your foodie activates its battle spirit, knocking the zombie into a broken sewer on the side of the road... "See, you can\'t even stand steady..." Da Vinci thinks Foodie has a point...]

"Sewer?" Ming looked up, his worries and sadness from before completely gone. It didn\'t matter if he got the five stars, he absolutely couldn\'t miss the chance to get the worms.

Moreover, as long as he killed the final boss, he could leave the dungeon, which wasn\'t difficult.

Ming led the bear cub forward, passing by collapsed houses. He saw an ordinary African zombie, dressed in tattered clothes and missing pants. Seeing its pitiful appearance, he decided to spare it.

Whoosh! The crossbow arrow flew out, piercing through the zombie\'s head.

Ding~ Gained 20 experience points, 10 gold coins, and a white card dropped. Ming collected it and continued to move forward, not wanting to waste his potion skill on such a trivial enemy.

[Your froglets arrive at the door of a brick house and see a zombie impaled on spikes on the doorframe, making hoarse, raspy sounds at them...]

[Your Da Vinci uses its collection ability on the spikes, and the zombie falls to the ground, triggering the spike trap...]

[Foodie watches as the zombie is pierced by several spikes through its body and brain. It turns to look at Da Vinci... Da Vinci sticks out their tongue, "It\'s their bad luck, what does that have to do with me?"]

[Foodie gets excited and asks Da Vinci if it can also tell fortunes?... Da Vinci tells Foodie that one of its ancestors was a three-legged golden toad that could tell fortunes, and it inherited some of those genes... Foodie looks at Da Vinci with admiration, asking when it will grow a third leg... Da Vinci slaps Foodie, "I believe in science..."]

"Found you." Ming looked at the blue-eyed zombie in the sewer, which was indeed a Lord-level one.

Eagle Eye Scan:

[Eldred Ross]

[Three-star Lord-level Vanguard]

[Vitality: 125]

[Strength: 160]

[Agility: 131]

[Spirit: 75]

[Talent: Blood Bravery]

[Skill: Dual Blade Slash]

[Weakness: You figure it out...]

"..."

"No prefix?" Ming remembered that Lord-level and above zombies would have a prefix in front of their names, such as evil, berserk, cruel, twisted, and so on.

But this one... He understood. In the first and second chapters, those zombies were created by the game\'s rules. But now, the zombies were transformed from survivors after they died, retaining their professional skills from when they were alive. Moreover, their strength determined their boss tier.

Since skills and talents were preserved from their previous life, what about their possessions? Did their storage still exist?

If the storage existed, the items from their previous life would naturally be there too. So, would their items drop after killing them? If they didn\'t drop after killing them, could they be obtained by using potions?

With this thought in mind, Ming handed the potion to the zombie.
