Chapter 44: First Wave: Over

“Eh?”

There were only about 10 zombies in the first wave. They dragged their rotten bodies out of the black fog with slow, heavy, and meaningless cries.

They were slowly walking toward Enoch like disabled people while letting out cries.

It was as if they were calling their companions while approaching Enoch.

[Low-Level Zombie]

[Skill: Virus Teeth]

[Combat strength: E–]

[Description: Low-level monster. After being bitten, the victim will be infected by the virus.]

They were all low-level zombies, just like before. Except for the Virus Teeth, there was no danger at all. They were the simplest, most common, and least dangerous monsters in the entire Netherworld.

Naturally, when Enoch saw these low-level zombies, he had no reaction at all. These were the weakest low-level zombies, and their battle prowess was even weaker than a semi-healthy adult man. Thus, Enoch wasn’t worried at all.

However, these zombies would not estimate the difference in battle prowess between the two sides. After all, they were a bunch of rotten, disgusting yellow-looking corpses.

The moment they found Enoch, they struggled and rushed toward him.

Driven by the black fog, they were filled with hatred for life and thirst for human beings.

They wanted to rush up and kill Enoch, tear his flesh into pieces, chew them up piece by piece, and swallow them into their stomachs. It seemed that only then would their crazy hearts have some peace, even though they didn’t know what was in their hearts right now…

“Ugh!”

A long voice filled with decay, resembling that of an old man with one foot in the grave that was reluctant to leave the world, escaped the mouths of these zombies.

They were moving closer to Enoch, and the surrounding Berserk Rats were all ready for battle.

At that moment, their originally soft fur swelled up like hedgehog spines, and they bent their waists, ready to attack. They protected Enoch.

“Stand down, don’t worry.”

Unsurprisingly, Enoch was calm. He comforted the Berserk Rats and calmed them down.

The Berserk Rats didn’t know why Enoch wanted them to do this, but they unconditionally carried out his orders.

They immediately quieted down and stopped making threatening noises, quietly watching as the zombies approached. However, they didn’t completely relax. Enoch was behind them, so they were still prepared for battle. As long as the zombies got close to a certain distance, they would immediately pounce on them and destroy the rotting corpses.

Enoch’s safety was their highest priority!

The zombies did not care about the Berserk Rats’ animosity. They just followed their instincts and approached Enoch.

As the zombies got closer, the Berserk Rats became more serious, as if they could tear the zombies into pieces at any time.

While the zombies were moving, the Pea Shooters, which were swaying in the wind, suddenly opened their eyes.

The zombies had entered their range, so the Pea Shooters were immediately awakened. The big round eyes on the pitcher cups suddenly became serious.

It seemed that the Pea Shooters were born with a natural hostility toward these zombies. The moment they found these zombies, the Pea Shooters’ dull expressions were replaced by solemn ones.

They immediately bombarded these zombies with attacks!

“Ugh!”

The zombies were still howling and approaching Enoch when the Pea Shooters’ bullets penetrated the head of the zombie in the front.

Bang!

The zombie’s head was smashed into pieces like a ripe watermelon, and rotten yellow brain matter and stinky blood splashed all over the ground.

This attack was like a signal.

Soon, the other Pea Shooters’ attacks reached the zombies.

At this time, Enoch made an important discovery—these Pea Shooters seemed to be excellent snipers!

Each pea bullet could accurately hit the heads of the zombies and blow them up. Thus, they would be completely finished off.

Although these zombies weren’t strong, each of them had tenacious vitality. As long as their brains weren’t directly destroyed, they would be able to survive. Even if they crawled, they would still crawl in front of you and launch a counterattack.

Hence, Enoch had originally planned to weaken the enemy as much as possible with these Pea Shooters. According to Enoch’s plan, the Pea Shooters would destroy the zombies’ arms and legs, and he would then order the Berserk Rats to finish off those zombies.

However, it seemed that it was no longer necessary as the 30 Pea Shooters were completely qualified for this job.

He only needed to rely on these Pea Shooters. They could effortlessly defend against the first wave of attacks.

“It seems that I don’t need to worry about the first wave of attacks.”

Enoch didn’t hide his satisfaction with the Pea Shooters.

It could even be said that the Pea Shooters’ strength had exceeded Enoch’s expectations. This was a plant that was even more outstanding and worthy of recognition and cultivation.

Enoch touched his nose and whispered, “It seems that after the Netherworld invasion, I need to buy some defensive plants like the Pea Shooter.”

Everything should be planned before it was carried out, so as to reduce the trouble.

This was a principle that Enoch always abided by.

After showcasing their battle skills, Enoch immediately raised his evaluation of the Pea Shooters and defensive plants and planned to buy more defensive plants.

“One day, when my floating island is full of defensive plants, I might be able to sleep without any pressure under the Netherworld invasion!” Enoch said expectantly.

At this time, the Pea Shooters killed the last zombie.

The system notification also appeared in the sky above the floating island.

[The first wave has ended. The second wave will arrive in 20 minutes. Please be careful.]
