Chapter 12 – The Trouble Caused by a Roast Chicken

The zombie's mouth stopped just two centimeters from Chen Mo's neck, its health bar emptied, and its body dissipated into two light points that merged into Chen Mo's body.

"Phew... Good thing I added some strength," Chen Mo thought with relief.

At that moment, another zombie lunged at Chen Mo.

Chen Mo didn't have time to catch his breath and quickly rolled on the ground to avoid the attack.

He knew very well that if a zombie bit his neck, it would basically be over.

The fate of the two nurses earlier was a clear example.

After rolling a short distance, Chen Mo quickly got up and returned to a combat stance.

At this moment, the zombie also got up and lunged at him again.

With only one left, it was much easier.

Chen Mo swiftly dodged the attack and countered with a dagger, stabbing it into the zombie's neck.

Then, he dodged its claws twice more, accurately stabbing the dagger into its neck each time, successfully taking down this zombie as well.

"Phew..."

"Fighting two at once is still too dangerous," Chen Mo thought to himself.

Just then, a white light orb suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chen Mo's heart leaped with joy.

"Something actually dropped!"

"Looks like my luck isn't too bad."

Immediately, Chen Mo reached into the light orb.

Soon, the light orb disappeared, and in Chen Mo's hand appeared... a roast chicken!

"???"

Staring at the roast chicken in his hand, Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.

"Roast chicken!?"

"Is this right!?"

"Where's the equipment?"

Even someone as calm as Chen Mo felt like cursing at this moment.

Reaching in with high hopes, thinking he would get some equipment, only to end up with a roast chicken!?

Anyone would be annoyed by this.

But... this roast chicken... smells pretty good!

"Forget it, roast chicken it is. I'm a bit hungry anyway."

Chen Mo wasn't one to dwell on things. Since it had already happened, he could only accept it.

He then sat down and started gnawing on the chicken.

To be honest... this roast chicken was really delicious!

Just as Chen Mo was enjoying his meal, he heard footsteps behind him.

Chen Mo looked back and soon saw a group of five people running towards him.

Chen Mo glanced at them but didn't pay much attention, continuing to eat his roast chicken.

Soon, the group reached Chen Mo, and seeing the roast chicken in his hand, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

"Brother, where did you get that roast chicken?" asked the leader, a man with yellow hair.

"It dropped from a monster," Chen Mo replied casually.

"Monsters can drop roast chicken!?" The group looked surprised.

Chen Mo just gave a faint "hmm" and continued eating his roast chicken.

"Gulp..." They swallowed again.

They had come over because they smelled the aroma of the roast chicken.

Since the game descended, everything turned to ruins, and food was hard to come by.

They had stayed up all night gaming, skipped breakfast, and used up a lot of energy fighting zombies, so they were already starving. Seeing Chen Mo's roast chicken made them even hungrier.

"Do you have any more?" Yellow Hair asked again.

"No."

"Can you share some with us? I'll pay you!"

Chen Mo rolled his eyes and ignored him.

This idiot, hasn't he realized yet that money is useless now?

"Brother Song, I'm hungry..." said a beautiful woman beside Yellow Hair, touching her stomach and looking at him expectantly.

Yellow Hair patted her cheek and then looked at Chen Mo again, "Brother, sorry, but we're really hungry."

"But don't worry, we're just after some food, not killing anyone." Yellow Hair signaled to the others behind him.

They began to surround Chen Mo.

"Trying to rob me?" Chen Mo glanced at them, then stood up, holding the roast chicken in one hand and a dagger in the other.

Five people might be a bit troublesome to fight, but only a bit.

He still had 8 points of energy left. If it came to a fight, he could sacrifice energy anytime, and with a Red Potion, he could easily deal with them.

Yellow Hair looked at Chen Mo's stance, seemingly ready to take on all five, and was surprised.

At Level 1, even Li Minglei wouldn't dare say he could handle five people at once. What kind of confidence did this guy have?

Just as tensions rose, they suddenly sensed something and looked to the right, their faces changing drastically.

"Why are there suddenly so many zombies!?" Yellow Hair exclaimed.

Over a dozen zombies were rushing towards them.

Chen Mo didn't say a word and took off running. If surrounded by that many zombies, there was no chance of survival.

"Damn it!"

"You sneaky bastard!"

"Run!" Yellow Hair cursed and led his group in a frantic escape.

With over a dozen zombies in hot pursuit.

Chen Mo glanced back as he ran, full of confusion.

He had fought zombies many times and knew their vision was poor. They shouldn't have spotted them from such a distance.

Why did so many zombies suddenly appear and charge at them?

Suddenly, Chen Mo realized something and looked at the roast chicken in his hand.

"It must be this thing causing trouble!"

The aroma of the roast chicken had spread far, and zombies had a keen sense of smell, so they could naturally detect it.

Looking at the zombies chasing them and then at Yellow Hair and his group behind him, Chen Mo's eyes lit up.

He took a few more bites of the roast chicken and then tossed it towards Yellow Hair.

"It's yours!"

After throwing it, Chen Mo changed direction and ran the other way.

Yellow Hair instinctively caught the flying roast chicken, full of confusion.

"This guy, acting so tough just now, why did he suddenly change his mind!?"

But he quickly realized something was wrong.

The guy ran in the opposite direction, and none of the zombies chased him; they were all after them.

"Damn! He tricked us!"

Yellow Hair cursed, wanting to throw the roast chicken away, but couldn't bear to.

He quickly took a couple of bites and handed it to the woman beside him.

"Eat a couple of bites quickly, then toss it."

"Okay, got it." The woman's eyes lit up, and she started gnawing on the roast chicken.

"Sis-in-law, don't finish it all, leave some for us too." The others looked eagerly at the roast chicken.

Then, the roast chicken was devoured among them.

Yellow Hair initially wanted to throw the roast chicken to divert the zombies' attention, but now there was nothing left to throw.

"What do we do? Brother Song, these zombies won't stop chasing us! I'm running out of energy!" one of the lackeys panted heavily.

Not exercising regularly made them falter at crucial moments.

"I told you not to finish that roast chicken, but you didn't listen!" Yellow Hair scolded.

"Look around for any other teams nearby, lure the zombies over, maybe we can fight with more people!"

"Okay!"

They were lucky, and soon spotted a team resting to recover health.

They decisively ran towards them...
