Chương 4: Sword skills

The Ring of Featherfall looks like the most ordinary silver ring with a pair of very small wings inlaid on it. Its attributes are rubbish, but it can still be rated as gold level due to the additional skill it has.

With this skill, as long as he improves his level by one level and strengthens his physique a little, Damian can jump from a dozen-story high-rise building without any problems except for numbness in his feet.

This is simply a god level thing in the early apocalypse, especially for Damian who has personally experienced the practicality of featherfall skill in the past life. This has saved his life from danger many times.

Damian put the ring on. He couldn't learn the skill book for sword strike yet. However, just when he was about to put the card into his pocket, a semi-illusory screen popped up.

[Learnable skill detected: Frost Strike, would you like to learn it?]

… . Damian was stunned.

Can it be learned? But how?

But ignoring this, Damian still replied suspiciously. "Learn."

Unexpectedly, the card shattered out of thin air the next second and then turned into light and merged into his body. Then, the prompt module popped up again.

[Skill: Frost Strike has been successfully learned.]

"It really worked." Damian's eyes widened as he felt the memories about this skill in his mind. "What's going on? It clearly said I need sword mastery of… ."

Damian suddenly realized something and hurriedly opened his personal panel silently and looked at the attributes on it. He first drew a curve at the corner of his mouth, and then his shoulders began to tremble in excitement. Finally, he could no longer suppress his smile and burst into laughter.

"Ahaha hahah ahahahaaa"

On the panel, Damian's skill column, which should have been blank, actually had four more skills appearing out of thin air.

On the panel of this life, compared to the previous life, the basic attributes of strength, agility, and physique have not changed, but the mental power attribute has more than doubled.

This is probably due to the fact that he was a Ghost soul body for several years in the previous life or maybe the benefits of his rebirth and extra memories.

The most obvious change is the skills.

Those four skills are clearly the skills from his previous life, and even their levels are exactly the same from before his death.

He really didn't expect this to happen. "But it also makes sense in a way." Damian thought.

Since the apocalypse game system is based on data obtained by scanning the human body, which also includes mental data, it is natural that some players who have mastered relevant skills before the apocalypse starts will obtain the corresponding skills after entering the game.

For example, a locksmith can gain lock-picking skills, a boxer can gain fighting skills, and a special soldier can gain combat proficiency and training skills.

This is not a secret, but Damian still didn't expect that the skills that were upgraded through hard work in the previous life could be inherited in this life.

Although there is a reasonable point of view, after all, these skills are not active skills that can be used, but passive skills based on muscle memory and knowledge.

In his previous life, it took him two full years to raise his Sword proficiency to the full level, and the full level of Sword proficiency now can be called a miracle.

[ Skill: Sword Mastery

Earlier Damian was still a little melancholy at first. He had finally reached the full level of skills in past life and now had to start from scratch again.

It was like he had just finished college entrance exams, performed exceptionally well and was admitted to the best university of his choice. But when he opened his eyes, he returned to the first grade of high school.

Now this magic has saved too much of his time and effort.

"By the way, there's also that information prompt board that popped up just now." Damian said as he remembered the reminder board he had just scratched aside in the toilet cubicle.

He glanced at it as he was walking away.

It was an explanation of the apocalyptic game. He had read it carefully once in his previous life, so he was not in a hurry to read it.

He waited until the dust settled, and to steal the treasures first. Now it's not too late to see if there are any differences from the previous life.

Damian pulled back the notice board that was at the edge of his sight on the panel.

[Welcome to the apocalypse game.]

[Congratulations to the players who saw this prompt, you have escaped the first round of screening.]

[Now 90% of the creatures from planet Earth have been transformed into zombies.]

[Special Note - Each type of creature has reached 90% very fairly. Please don't worry.]

[Zombie viruses can be spread through blood, scratches, saliva or any bodily fluid. Zombie viruses cannot be purified by ordinary means.]

[Water sources are also one of the transmission channels for zombie viruses. Do not drink water from unconfirmed sources for your safety.]

[To help you survive in this world, small insects such as ants, flies, bacteria etc cannot carry viruses.]

[In order to help everyone survive, at 12:00 midnight every day, surviving players will receive a resource supply, a bottle of 300ML water and a piece of 60g whole wheat bread.]

[Please protect your resource supplies to prevent them from being robbed by other players.]

[Zombie viruses also exist in the soil for a long time, making it impossible to grow crops, so save your shallow efforts, oh fellow farmers.]

[Please explore the habits and weaknesses of zombies on your own.]

[Killing zombies will let you gain experience. After upgrading levels, the four basic attribute values can be increased. You can check your personal situation by silently calling your personal panel.]

[Zombies have a chance of exploding cards and gift drops, which may contain various supplies.]

[Humanity's modern weapons, including thermal weapons, electronics, communications, and vehicles, are all ineffective. Welcome to the hard working era buddies.]

[Zombies will evolve over time, and there is a chance that mutated zombies who can evolve will appear.]

[The rest of the rules are for players to explore on their own.]

[Finally, I wish you all can survive until the end and have a good time.]

This was the end of the announcement panel. Damian scanned it carefully and made sure that there was no difference from the previous life, so he closed the announcement directly.

Damian walked out of the bathroom with a knife. As soon as he turned the corner, he ran into a zombie.

To be honest, even after so many years in the apocalypse, Damian still couldn't help but say "classic" when he saw the most basic zombies.

No way, the appearance of these zombies is so classic that people can't resist the desire to complain.

Gray skin, blood vessels bursting with black and purple veins, gray eyes with black bloodshot eyes, black gums and staggering steps.

They are the most basic and standard mobs in movies and zombie games.

But when it comes to the zombies that cause the most damage to players, they are actually the most common mobs. Especially in the first few minutes of the apocalypse.

When no one is mentally prepared, your friends, your companions, your family, and even passers-by are transformed into zombies in an instant, and immediately attack the living people around them.

Most people can't react. Just like the fellow with his dick in the mouth of zombie girlfriend.

Those whose brains are eaten will die directly, while those who are just bitten will be tortured by a more painful virus and become members of the evergrowing zombie army.

Similar examples can be the people who were still driving their vehicles, the vehicles failed in an instant and crashed into the red light and walls on the side of the road. More of them rushed into the crowd, causing greater damage.

Therefore, although the announcement stated that 90% of humans were transformed into zombies, within ten minutes of the apocalypse, this number has probably surged to more than 95%.

At the end of the apocalypse, the number of people who truly survive is probably only one in 10,000, or even less.

"Roar!"

As his thoughts were flowing, Damian saw that a zombie roared, and rushed towards him.

However, before the roar of the zombie ended, a brilliant trail of ice crystal flashed through the air, and the zombie suddenly froze in place.

Damian put away the long knife and walked past the zombie. With the burst of cold air, neat ice blue lines spread from the zombie's neck. There was only a thud, and the zombie's head fell straight to the ground while still roaring.
