Thirty-four hours later, outside the Dulda Apartment 301 in the Outer Zone of Raccoon City.
Zhang Yanhang had just emptied the slot machine’s jackpot again using the enlarged hole downstairs, and unsurprisingly, neither this time nor the last did the Prototype Tyrant manage to crawl out of the hole. Zhang Yanhang was quite satisfied with this result.
During the previous thirty-four hours, Zhang Yanhang had successfully cleared the entire Middle Layer of Raccoon City. The overall process was an eight-hour work shift, hunting monsters for eight hours, then resting for eight hours, and immediately going back to hunt for another eight hours after waking up.
This cycle repeated, and just a few minutes ago, Zhang Yanhang finally completed the cleaning plan for the Middle Layer of Raccoon City.
Zhang Yanhang sat on the bed, took out eight large iron boxes from his waistbag, and filled the cramped space of apartment 301, "Finally, I’ve gathered all eight storage boxes. I really want to take these things out of Ashen World, but I currently don’t have time to study this."
An Alchemy Array appeared in Zhang Yanhang’s hands, and he began to fuse the storage boxes. This time, he had a total of eight storage boxes, which should be able to fuse into a Storage Box +3.
Surprisingly, the entire fusion process went very smoothly and there was no rejection reaction. Unfortunately, even though it was already fused to +3, the storage box remained of Grey Quality, and the attribute that it could not be taken out still inherited.
"Although it’s still Grey Quality, it doesn’t affect its use..."
Of course, even though Zhang Yanhang didn’t care about the quality, he was still very concerned about the non-exportable attribute. Storage Box +3 had a total of eight hundred slots, but regretfully, because of the non-exportable attribute, these eight hundred slots could only be used within Ashen World. If he had time later, Zhang Yanhang would definitely study this matter in detail.
"Well, next up, let’s open some treasure boxes. After all, I’ve already cleared the entire Middle Layer of Raccoon City, and it’s time to strengthen my skills." But before opening the treasure boxes, Zhang Yanhang took a look at his Soul points balance.
[Soul Points: 4660（+4140）]
Even including the two hundred monsters from the slot machine, Zhang Yanhang had only killed one thousand nine hundred monsters this time, not even reaching two thousand, over a thousand less than last time. Discover more novels at novel✶fire.net
However, although the number of monsters killed had decreased, the profit in Soul points was not much different. Last time, killing over three thousand monsters had increased his Soul points by 4350, but this time, killing about two thousand monsters had earned him 4140 Soul points, only 210 less than last time.
The reason was that Zhang Yanhang had killed quite a few high-quality monsters this time, such as the First Tier Three Stars Beta-type Hunter and the Second Order One Star Prototype Tyrant.
A Beta-type Hunter was worth ten Soul points, equivalent to ten Ordinary zombies, and a Prototype Tyrant was worth thirty Soul points, equivalent to ten Zombie Dogs. So, although the total number of kills had decreased, the Beta-type Hunters and Prototype Tyrants made up this gap with their quality.
Zhang Yanhang’s cleaning plan for the Middle Layer of Raccoon City took him a total of fifty-one hours to complete, which is two days and three hours. The completion of this phase meant that he had taken a solid step forward towards his small goal of turning Raccoon City into an empty city.
The surface area of Raccoon City totaled forty-three square kilometers. Zhang Yanhang started by clearing the twenty-nine square kilometers of the Outer Zone, and now he had also cleaned the thirteen square kilometers of the Middle Layer, totaling forty-two square kilometers. Now, with only the last square kilometer left, Zhang Yanhang would soon be able to empty the entire ground part of Raccoon City.
Unfortunately, this remaining square kilometer was the toughest part. Around the police station in this one square kilometer Core Area, there were over twenty Prototype Tyrants and over thirty Beta-Type Hunters gathered.
Moreover, the scariest part was that they were all roaming the streets. Once one of them was attacked, the other monsters would immediately respond and start besieging the intruder. If unable to escape, their Death Claw Skill would make Zhang Yanhang keenly aware of what it means to have his Shield broken in a second and what it means to be killed on the spot.
Why did Zhang Yanhang know this so clearly? Actually, after he had rested, Zhang Yanhang wanted to directly clear the Core Area in one go since he had only worked for two hours and still had plenty of Physical Strength and Spiritual Energy.
However, just after Zhang Yanhang entered the Core Area and not even a minute had passed, the local Prototype Tyrants and Beta-type Hunters struck him down.
He had just killed one Beta-type Hunter when all the other monsters surged towards him. The Beta-type Hunters, due to their slower speed, only those close to him could attack.
But it was different with the Tyrants. They started with a classic combination of Charge and Death Claw, and Zhang Yanhang’s Shield Value plummeted below fifty percent. With even more Tyrants charging towards him, he estimated that if he stayed a few more seconds, he would have his Energy Shield broken and be killed instantly. Therefore, in this situation, he immediately turned around and ran without hesitation.
"The Core Area is really terrifying, completely different in intensity from the Middle Layer and the Outer Zone. There are still thirteen hours left, and I wonder if I’ll be able to clear it down to the underground part later."
Although the Core Area was only one square kilometer, Zhang Yanhang estimated that it would take him several hours to clear it. After that, there wouldn’t be much time left for the underground part of Raccoon City.
This time, Zhang Yanhang had killed a total of one thousand nine hundred monsters, the majority of which were still Ordinary zombies, about one thousand four hundred of them. Next were the Zombie Dogs, with around two to three hundred, followed by Lickers, whom he had only killed a little over a hundred.
The rest were all less than a hundred. The least were the Prototype Tyrants, which Zhang Yanhang had killed only over twenty, then the Beta-type Hunters, which he killed about thirty, and lastly the Police Zombies, whom he had killed roughly eighty.
With this cleaning of the Middle Layer of Raccoon City, aside from the Police Zombies, which were already on the brink of extinction, other types of monsters such as Ordinary zombies, Zombie Dogs, and Lickers had also entered the endangered list. Now, the remaining number of Prototype Tyrants and Beta-type Hunters were less than half.
