The Scourge of the Undead: Starting with Building Monster Farms

Chapter 14 The Mutated Monster

Seeing Xiao Lü's slightly dazed and cute appearance, Su He didn't blame it.

In fact, from the first day I transmigrated until now, I have spent most of my time fighting low-level monsters.

These monsters cannot speak and have no emotional fluctuations. Only the first zombie, Zombie Number One, which showed a glimmer of intelligence, could give him a slight response.

The short timeframe didn't matter, especially since Su He was mostly busy with his own development and didn't have time to think about things unrelated to survival.

But as the base has developed steadily, he no longer worries about a few bars of hunger like he did on the first day.

When the pressure of survival is relieved, a sense of emptiness begins to arise in one's spirit.

Just like those people who have participated in "Man vs. Wild" programs on TV, even before they have solved their survival problems, they will experience feelings of loneliness, helplessness, and missing their families.

Of course, the bed itself might also be a factor in this; it provided Su He with such good sleep quality that he could get a good night's sleep almost as soon as he closed his eyes.

This not only effectively prevented him from overthinking late at night, but also provided him with a good state of mind for work the next day.

Now, thanks to Xiao Lü's presence, the loneliness he felt in this strange world has been greatly reduced, and his mindset is gradually improving every day.

"Remember to turn off the lights."

After saying something to Little Green that left it scratching its head, Su He turned over, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was the next day.

Following the daily routine, after working in the fields all the way to the monster-spawning area and organizing all the supplies obtained, we arrived near the monster-spawning area to learn about the night patrol of Zombie Number One.

Here is a shaded area that Suhe specially created for undead creatures.

At this moment, the zombie squad led by Number One was resting here.

The zombie squad's health varied; except for number one, the zombies all had relatively low health, indicating that they had experienced a difficult battle last night.

"How could someone with support from arrow towers still be injured so badly?"

Su He looked at the zombies in surprise, knowing that he had built the arrow tower just yesterday, mainly to assist his monsters.

Now that there are arrow towers, the monsters are actually getting hurt more badly than before.

"What exactly did you discover during your patrol?"

After posing a question to Number One, Zombie Number One turned around, made another zombie move aside, and then picked up an arm from another world from the ground.

After Number One picked up the arm, its health bar began to drop continuously.

After losing about two hearts' worth of health, Number One threw the arm back to the ground.

"You mean, those monsters have undergone a different change?"

Touching his chin, Su He roughly understood the message that Number One wanted to convey to him.

Looking at the monster's arm that Number One had thrown to the ground, an idea suddenly formed in his mind.

First, he ran to the pasture to get a bucket of milk from the cows, then he came back here and lifted his arm.

The moment the arm was touched, a debuff called Corrosion appeared in the buff bar.

The duration of the buff was also clearly indicated as 30 seconds.

After drinking the milk that had just been prepared, the debuff was cleaned up very easily.

"After you've rested, take me to see the border."

He then fetched another bucket of milk and carried it with him. Once Number One's health was fully restored, Su He led his Spider Knight squad away from the base.

Because the zombies are less mobile during the day, the team's ability to engage in direct combat will be somewhat lacking.

This is where another advantage of the Spider Knights team comes into play.

When necessary, he can control these spider riders to disintegrate, scattering the spiders and skeletons, which can help the team slightly compensate for their melee capabilities.

Upon arriving at the border, Su He immediately saw the alien zombies attacking his arrow tower.

The otherworldly zombies had limited destructive power; they couldn't even destroy the wooden blocks on the arrow towers.

Compared to the otherworldly zombies they had seen before, these zombies were even uglier in appearance, with green blisters of various sizes appearing on their bodies, and their smell was extremely pungent.

Their dead bodies lay sprawled on the grass blocks, green blood flowing everywhere.

Fortunately, the blood wouldn't contaminate his grass blocks, otherwise Su He would have to take on another cleaning task every day.

"For, um... the great... Eris Wayne!"

A zombie from another world, twice the size of a normal zombie, burst out of the forest and charged straight at the arrow tower.

Green juice splattered everywhere, and Number One let out an angry growl at the monster.

"You mean to say that you were injured by this kind of thing?"

Zombie Number One nodded, his eyes fixed on the otherworldly zombie that was constantly elbowing the arrow tower.

Because there were too many monsters, even though the firing rate of the level 3 arrow towers wasn't slow, it still couldn't effectively eliminate so many targets.

Su He adjusted the arrow tower's attack target, and the peculiar zombie quickly turned into loot under the tower's attack.

With the help of the Spider Rider, the border dispute was quickly quelled.

He specifically checked the monster's loot, but didn't find the mutated heart he wanted.

"Is it because that monster wasn't special enough?"

Su He repaired the arrow tower with the materials he carried in his backpack, and also gave a portion of the rotten flesh dropped by the otherworldly monster to Number One for his own use.

Once your own level is high, the level of the monsters under your command must also keep up.

Zombies and white rabbits can level up by consuming items dropped by corresponding otherworldly monsters.

Su He speculated that the Creepers likely leveled up through photosynthesis.

Because Xiao Lü follows me around all day, she likes to sunbathe when she has nothing to do.

"We need to expand the border patrol team when we get back. These monsters outside are really a headache because they can mutate."

"Speaking of which, Little Green, that special monster we just saw could talk. Do you think it might be a bit smarter than you?"

"Sizzle!"

Although Little Green couldn't speak, Su He still chatted and laughed with it on the way back.

Zombie Number One, which had been following behind the two, kept eating rotten flesh. It had only one thought in its mind: to become stronger.

-

"They're all a bunch of useless trash!"

"We just asked you to develop some surrounding land, so why are the losses so severe?"

"The losses were already devastating, but why couldn't they even recover the bodies of the deceased in the end?"
