C2 – Golden Fragment!


    The lighting inside the residential building was faint, casting an eerie silence throughout the structure that was permeated with an unsettling atmosphere.


    ?Tan Chong clutched the Chopping de tightly, his palms slick with sweat from the tension. After a quick sweep of the first-floor corridor revealed no zombies, he inhaled deeply and made his way up to the second floor with slow, deliberate steps.


    As he neared the second floor, a sudden “crack” echoed in the stillness. Tan Chong had inadvertently stepped on something hard, causing a faint snapping noise.


    ?”Damn it!” he thought, his heart racing.


    Zombies had incredibly sharp hearing; if one was lurking nearby, it would surelyunch a ferocious attack upon hearing the noise. As expected, a zombie’s roar soon emanated from the second floor.


    ?Tan Chong’s scalp tingled with fear, and he instinctively turned and bolted down to the first-floor corridor. ncing over his shoulder, he was taken aback.


    ?”Why is there only one zombie?” he wondered.


    The cacophony of roars from the second floor suggested the presence of at least a dozen zombies, yet only one had descended. It was a Female Zombie, her appearance disheveled and grotesque, with one leg broken, causing her to stagger and move at a snail’s pace.


    Confronted with the severely wounded Female Zombie, Tan Chong’s eyes narrowed. Zombies harbored an Energy Stone in their hearts—a valuablemodity in this world. It could enhance martial prowess and purchase necessities like food and weapons. The Energy Stone was a prize worth a fortune, and Tan Chong was intent on ying the zombie to im it.


    ?As the Female Zombie closed in, Tan Chong sidestepped her lunge. Simultaneously, as he evaded her attempted bite, he brought the Chopping de down on her head.


    ?The de lodged itself into the back of the Female Zombie’s skull. Aiming for the head was the most effective way to kill a zombie quickly.


    Yet, the skull was significantly tougher than the rest of the body. Tan Chong’s strike hadn’t been fatal; it merely inflicted a grave injury. The Female Zombie, now severely wounded, let out a frenzied howl and iled her arms wildly, but she couldn’ty a finger on Tan Chong.


    ?Tan Chong delivered a forceful kick to the Female Zombie, toppling her over, and then drew his Chopping de to furiously hack at her skull.


    After several strikes, the Female Zombie’s head was finally cleaved apart. She convulsed on the ground a few times before bing motionless.


    Tan Chong swiftly extracted a peanut-sized Energy Stone from her heart. As he was preparing to leave, a golden glow caught his eye emanating from the Female Zombie’s corpse.


    “A fragment?” Tan Chong was taken aback.


    He saw that the glow was from a golden fragment shaped like a musical note.


    “What is this?”


    Tan Chong had in many zombies before but had never encountered such a fragment. He examined it closely, then extended his hand toward the golden fragment.


    The moment his fingertips made contact with the fragment, it vanished. Simultaneously, an odd voice resonated in his mind.


    “You have collected a Level 1 All-attribute Fragment. You have enough fragment number to use it.”


    “Use it.”


    Tan Chong instinctively responded, and a vision shed through his mind.
