Chapter 30: A Smooth Takedown |
【Crowbar】
【Effect: Opens any door that cannot be opened.】
【Description: The Holy Sword of Physics, you deserve it.】
From the moment Guan Shan saw the information about this crowbar in the Newbie Survival Kit, he knew it had great potential.
This was a crowbar with personality.
It only opens doors that cannot be opened.
But here's the problem: what kind of "opening" does it mean, and what kind of "door" is it referring to? If a house door and a car door are doors, does an electric door count? Does a religious sect count?
Anything that functions similarly to a door but cannot be opened... does it count? Other items have strict limitations on their range and effects, at least not giving room for ambiguity.
But this crowbar was different. Its description was a single sentence without any restrictions.
This crowbar very likely had no restrictions at all!
In the last simulation, Guan Shan used this crowbar to open a bus door that was blocked by flesh walls.
And now... Guan Shan was about to prove his theory through practice.
"Swish!"
"Zzzzz—"
The giant zombie roared as it descended, holding an electric saw and aiming for Guan Shan with a move like a mountain falling.
This was supposed to be a highly oppressive move, especially with the opponent's size being comparable to that of a restaurant chef, making it seem like a mountain was indeed falling.
The zombie's information appeared.
【[Slayer] Giant Zombie (Lv.7)】
【Health: 1800】
【Description: A newbie killer. If you see it, you might want to reload.】
This monster, though only level 7, had twice the health of the chef—Guan Shan's double! In any other situation, Guan Shan would dodge this move first and then look for an opportunity to counterattack.
But at this moment, the positioning was too perfect...
Not hitting it felt like a waste of an opportunity.
Thus, Guan Shan took a step forward, activated 【Gravity Control】 to lighten part of his weight, and his speed suddenly increased.
He dodged the trajectory of the electric saw.
Sliding, bending, both hands gripping tightly, he raised the crowbar.
The curved and sharp head of the crowbar drew a perfect arc, accurately hooking onto a specific muscle area.
"Arrrrghhh!"
The giant zombie's roar changed pitch, its face contorted to an extreme, pieces of rotting flesh falling off.
But this zombie was no ordinary one.
It was a tough one, fiercer than regular zombies.
Its eyes gleamed fiercely, the electric saw crashed into the ground, its arms straining to use the rebound force to pull itself out.
Though the crowbar's hook had embedded in its flesh, forcing it out would cause massive damage.
But letting this internal attack continue would be even worse!
Its decision to break free was commendable, like a lizard shedding its tail.
But would Guan Shan let it succeed? 【Gravity Control】 had a duration of 5 seconds, and within that time, 50kg of gravity could be applied in any manner to any target.
"Come down!"
Guan Shan removed the speed boost and applied the force to the zombie.
Downward!

This 50kg weight was the straw that broke the camel's back, dragging the monster down.
"Slash!"
The crowbar fully embedded, Guan Shan followed with a sliding tackle, leveraging the crowbar to pry open a certain "door."
He didn't linger, withdrew the gravity, and slid away smoothly, maintaining a safe distance.
Then Guan Shan witnessed a true "door opening."
What exactly happened to the giant zombie was unclear, but its body inflated like a balloon, internal organs pressing against the skin, losing control instantly, and its mouth opened wide but silent.
After a series of frantic twists, it split from the middle, spewing out its innards, with foul blood raining down.
One-hit kill!
"It really works..."
Guan Shan raised an eyebrow, glancing at the crowbar, now clean and shiny.
Hmm... a bit grossed out.
"Well, it's just a simulation, not real."
Guan Shan consoled himself.
He picked up the dropped item from the giant zombie.
【High-Speed Chainsaw】
【Attack Power: 300】
【Description: Let's play a game?】
Guan Shan was surprised, "The attack power of this chainsaw is impressive, three times that of the boning knife."
"A level 7 monster here is stronger than the restaurant boss. Newbie instances are indeed forgiving..."
Guan Shan twirled the crowbar, stepping over the corpse, approaching the halted zombies.
"Let's experiment more since there are plenty of monsters to farm, and this isn't particularly scary..."
The zombies roared and charged at him like a chaotic dance.
"...Okay, it's still a bit scary."
——
Everything that followed was a nightmare for the workers assigned to monitor Zhao Jie.
They were foolish, really.
They knew Guan Shan was strong but didn't expect him to be so cruel.
Initially thinking the abnormal death of the D-class physical Esper was a coincidence.
But it turned out to be a hobby.
Given another chance, they would have chosen to observe secretly rather than confront this terrifying creature directly.
After witnessing the brutal deaths of eight companions, the D-class Esper codenamed "Worker Bee Seventeen" finally broke down.
He was a physical transformation Esper, resembling a werewolf during activation, with increased speed and strength, and several wolf-like enhancements.
But it was useless!
No matter how fast or frequent his attacks, the monstrous young man took the hits without flinching, healing instantly by consuming heart-like items.
Whenever he tried to approach, Guan Shan would slow him with gravity and then counterattack.
All his attacks felt futile... useless, useless, useless! Worker Bee Seventeen had never felt such fear, transitioning from a desperate fight to a panicked escape in minutes.
But... the opponent seemed more afraid.
Guan Shan's bloodstained face showed tension, as if Worker Bee Seventeen scared him, yet he casually sliced off his arms with a boning knife.
Now, armless and trembling on the ground, Worker Bee Seventeen pleaded, "Please, let me go! I'll tell you everything. Death Hive experimented on Zhao Jie, but he's just one of many. I'll tell you all the experimental sites..."
Guan Shan, unmoved, raised the crowbar, wondering, "Why is this monster so noisy? Keeps babbling... Is it threatening me?"
