163: No moral principles! Life span +60 years!

Chen Ming originally thought finding Zombies was fine, anyway, it was just to test the skill's effect.

Although the life value of Zombies that could be converted into lifespan wasn't much, the advantage was that what they lacked in quality, they made up for in quantity.

After Chen Ming decided to head to the Zombie horde to drain their life value and marked the coordinates.

He accidentally noticed that in one area, several small flame icons appeared.

"Are these flames... elite monsters?" Chen Ming wasn't quite sure.

[Fire Human: A monster that has mutated due to being injected with the origin of fire, its entire body is composed of high-temperature flames!]

"Origin of fire? The Zombie virus'... upgraded version? Evolved?"

Unable to view more details, Chen Ming decided to personally go to that residential area to check it out.

The residential area wasn't far from Fushan Residence and was a hidden danger. Since it was discovered, he definitely had to figure it out.

Implementing the great wisdom of 'thinking of danger in times of peace' left by the ancestors.

Waiting until things worsen to the point of being difficult to solve before solving them, it would be too late for anything.

The teleportation gate opened, the teleportation gate closed.

In a few seconds, Chen Ming successfully arrived at Tianchen residential area, located one kilometer away, from Fushan Residence.

A residential area enclosed by four buildings, its footprint wasn't very large, and the tallest building was only thirteen stories.

Through the Resource Map, Chen Ming had already clearly understood the situation within this residential area.

32 Level 1 Low-grade Zombies, 1 Level 1 Mid-grade Zombie, 28 survivors, 5 Fire Humans.

"At this point in time, there are actually still more than twenty people who haven't chosen to leave? Truly commendable courage." If Chen Ming remembered correctly, Jiang City had long been in a state of semi-abandonment for the Star Alliance.

Thanks to Chen Ming and his Undead army, the tricky and troublesome monsters had been vanquished.

The withdrawn Special Ops Soldiers gradually returned, intending to reclaim and regain control of the city from the monsters.

Chen Ming was currently in Unit 4, 12th floor.

He was walking towards Room 1206 where Fire Humans were present.

But when passing Room 1202, the danger sense reminded Chen Ming.

Chen Ming stopped in his tracks and took a step back.

The next second, the door burst open from inside with a bang, and a gleaming machete swung down right in front of Chen Ming.

Without the danger perception ability, if an ordinary person had just walked past, they would likely have had a large gash cut into their head by a single strike and died on the spot.

The power of that strike was immense!

From the fierce whistling sound that entered his ears as it fell, it wasn't hard to tell.

Chen Ming concluded that this person had a high probability of having fished up a skill.

"Huh?" The Man had a look of surprise on his face.

He looked sideways at Chen Ming, seemingly not expecting that he could dodge his strike.

"Is this how you welcome people? It's quite unique," Chen Ming said jokingly.

"Kid, you've got good moves. Hand over your survival supplies obediently, and I'll let you live." The Man straightened his back, gripping the machete in his hand, its blood long dry, used to kill who knows how many of his own kind.

He deliberately pointed the blood-stained blade towards Chen Ming, hoping to make him fearful, yield, and know that he wasn't someone to be trifled with.

If you want to live, you must do as I say! There's no other choice.

Chen Ming looked the Man up and down.

Feeling Chen Ming's gaze, the Man's eyes became wary. "What are you looking at!"

Suspecting that Chen Ming's sexual orientation wasn't normal and that he wanted to make a crooked deal with him to seek refuge.

"Nothing," Chen Ming shook his head, telling the Man not to be nervous. "I just simply think you're not good-looking, but your ideas are quite beautiful."

"..." The Man.

"Heh heh." He laughed, angered into laughter by Chen Ming.

He raised his hand, pushed aside the messy, greasy bangs in front of him, revealing a fierce face full of stubble.

"Kid, since you're determined to court death, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Saying that, he strode like flying towards Chen Ming, raising the thick blade in his hand high and chopping straight down.

This knife was custom-made by him at a high price; as long as he had enough strength, he could even cleave through ox bones, let alone human bones.

He believed he had already given Chen Ming a chance, and it was Chen Ming himself who didn't cherish it, so how could he be blamed?

However, as the blade rapidly descended, the Man's body was also rapidly undergoing changes.

His skin quickly developed wrinkles, his body became thin, his full head of black hair gradually withered and yellowed, then turned white.

In a few seconds, he rapidly transitioned from his prime to his twilight years.

Giving off a sense that he could die at any moment.

"You, what did you do to me? My, why did my body become like this?" As he opened his mouth, the Man's teeth fell out, leaving only two or three.

Those two or three were also loose and could fall out at any time.

Clang!

The knife in his hand, unable to be held, dropped at his feet.

"Sixty years of lifespan, that's quite a bit. Combined with your current age, you should be able to live to around a hundred." Chen Ming unceremoniously accepted 90% of the Man's lifespan, a full sixty years.

"Lifespan? Your, your skill can plunder others' lifespan!" The senile Man's voice was weak, saying in disbelief.

If he had known earlier that Chen Ming possessed such a perverse skill, even if he were beaten to death, he wouldn't have come to provoke Chen Ming.

It is precious for people to have self-awareness...

Chen Ming didn't want to, nor did he need to answer the Man's question.

As he stepped past him, only a 'crack' sound was heard.

Bang.

The Man fell to the ground in response, his chest facing down, but his face was completely twisted in the opposite direction, the mark of twisting on his neck very clear.

Chen Ming had tried to steal a skill from him, but after trying, he found that he hadn't fished up any skills at all; he simply had greater strength.

[Extracting...]

[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new Undead Servant: Machete Zombie +1!]

"Machete Zombie?" Seeing these four words, Chen Ming couldn't help but chuckle, murmuring, "Was this Undead Extraction performed based on his state while holding the knife?"

"This setting is quite good. Zombies plus weapons, combined with a vast quantity, will definitely be quite interesting!"

"If paired with firearms, what kind of scene would that be?" Chen Ming was extremely curious.

While lost in thought, Chen Ming had already arrived in front of the door of resident 1206.

He closed his eyes, attempting to use his sharp ears to listen to every movement inside the room.

However, the information transmitted back was completely fruitless.

Quiet, the room was terrifyingly quiet; Chen Ming didn't hear even the slightest sound.

Yet, he was 100% certain that the Fire Human was inside the room.

"Since you're unwilling to take the initiative, then I can only take the initiative." Chen Ming gripped the doorknob with his five fingers, easily melting the entire area where the door lock was located.

Melting a large hole.

The method was very simple: creating a Fireball with bare hands, using the Fireball's temperature to melt the metal.

After losing the lock's restraint, Chen Ming easily pushed open the door.

A creak.

You could tell just by listening that the hinges hadn't been oiled for a long time.

The door hadn't fully opened yet when the familiar danger perception alert triggered again!
