Chapter 46: The Poisonous Zombie
In the early morning of the next day, the sky looked entirely blue and cloudless, and the sun hung high, shining a round of dazzling rays of light, sparkling a bright luster that flowed across the earth. The wilderness was scorching and humid, and the sounds of birds, insects, and wild beasts kept coming and going, making it lively.

After walking in the humid and hot woods for a while, everyone became soaked from the forest dew, looking like they had just been fished out of the water. This particular expedition had been one of the smoothest, if not the best, for the group. Probably due to the recurring passing of ogre monsters, forcing the surrounding beasts to flee for their lives, they encountered no monster attacks on the way. As a result, they arrived at the zombie coal mine area without any incidents.
The forest was tranquil. A few small black coal mounds stood silently in front of the dilapidated mine, surrounded by sporadic weeds, possibly because even weak beasts were reluctant to feed on them. Most of the zombies killed at the beginning were still festering on the ground in front of the mine, as many disgusting maggots had already been bred from them. A few carrion-eating birds were pecking at the corpses, and occasionally, when a zombie passed by, they flapped their wings and shrieked before flying away in fear.
Han Kexin mused as she surveyed the zombies wandering around the entrance of the mine from a distance, showing a somewhat stunned and puzzled expression, “Strange; I remember that when we left last time, the zombies outside were basically all cleared out, but now their numbers seem to have increased again.”
Upon noticing this, Wang Chao intervened, saying, “Boss, this world shouldn’t be entirely similar to a game, right? Where monsters will always respawn?!”
“Nonsense, of course not.” Xiao Yu carefully looked up at the zombies and slowly spoke: “they all came out from the mine. The majority of the undead wandering around at that time were zero-order rotten zombies, while most of the monsters over here are essentially all zombie miners; and the two others over there are chained zombies, which are stronger elementary monsters.”
“This big fat guy is so dumb; his brain is like a vase, and he only asks silly questions, it’s best if we ignore him.” Jiang Xiaowen repeatedly nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice before changing her tone of voice, as she said: “However, Xiao Yu, your eyes are so sharp. You can actually still see everything from such a distance.”
Jin Shi patted him on the shoulders and said, “Fatty, you should try and say a few words less.”
