Xiao Fan withdrew his gaze and took a deep breath.
No matter what, he would not give up hope. Since he had obtained such a system, he believed he could do something.
Turning around, several soldiers stood behind Xiao Fan, waiting for his command.
"When will you guys replenish the ammunition in your guns?"
"Report to the Commander, the ammunition replenishment time for all Red Alert Units is unified to noon at 12 o'clock!"
Xiao Fan checked the time. It was just past 11:50.
"Okay, let's go clear the remaining wards first when it hits 12, then leave here!"
When it hit 12 o'clock, Xiao Fan could feel the change himself.
The revolver that he had been holding in his hand seemed to grow heavier. He opened it and saw six orange bullets inside again.
The few soldiers were the same. All guns were automatically replenished with bullets. They now had unlimited ammo.
"Move out, take action!"
Under the protection of the soldiers, Xiao Fan's team advanced towards the remaining wards.
The remaining wards still had zombies inside. With the full team today, they could clear them all out.
Wang Zhan led the way with three new soldiers lining up, raising their guns and getting ready. Wang Zhan went to the very front and shot the lock.
The moment the lock shattered, the zombies inside the ward began rushing out!
"Open fire, pay attention to accuracy!"
Wang Zhan had already become the de facto leader of the few soldiers. He kept firing. Almost every shot blew a zombie's head off.
Although the marksmanship of the other three soldiers was inferior, they now had unlimited ammo and could fire without restraint, racking up kills continuously.
The zombies shuffled forward clumsily. The soldiers fought retreating, and one by one, the zombies collapsed to the ground mid-stride.
Clearing ward by ward, in about 50 minutes, more than half of the dozens of wards on the entire 7th floor had been cleared of zombies.
"Report to the Commander. I leveled up!" Li Long was the first to speak up.
With the fighting, another 1-star soldier was born.
"Good. Zhang Chao and Liu DaHua focus fire and ensure you level up with the remaining zombies."
Wang Zhan and Li Long stopped shooting. Zhang Chao and Liu DaHua moved up front and continuously fired. After several rounds, the two also leveled up to become 1-star soldiers.
The three new soldiers now had 270 bullets each. Although Wang Zhan only had 30+ bullets left, he wasn't far from reaching 2-star either, having completed nearly half the requirements.
And the zombies on the entire 7th floor, apart from the horde in the grand conference hall, had been completely eliminated.
"Collect funds!"
The few soldiers immediately rushed up and started collecting various gold and silver jewelry.
However, the harvest this time was insignificant. Since most of the zombies in the wards were male, they did not wear any jewelry. The 40+ bodies only yielded slightly over 300 in funds.
Xiao Fan's funds barely reached 900.
The funding condition was met. Xiao Fan immediately summoned the system screen and opened the Buildings column.
Power Plant, cost 800, construction time 1 hour.
Without any hesitation, he chose to construct it. Without a power plant, the screen could not be lit up. Without the screen as a guide, Xiao Fan would be as good as blind, which was absolutely unacceptable.
Construction of the power plant began. Funds deducted. Xiao Fan had 100 left.
Xiao Fan currently held the rank of Squad Leader. He could command up to 8 Red Alert Units max.
He did not immediately spend the 100 funds either. He wanted to see if any new soldier types would unlock in the barracks after the power plant finished construction, like in the games.
With the zombies in the grand conference hall as the exception, this floor was now completely clear and very safe.
Xiao Fan had no plans to engage the conference hall zombies. Based on a preliminary estimate, there were over a hundred inside. It was too dangerous for him presently.
So he patiently waited here for an hour. When it struck 1 pm, the system notification came.
"Congratulations, Commander. The power plant construction is complete!"
Xiao Fan immediately opened the system screen.
Sure enough, the central part of the large screen on the left had lit up now.
The bright area was not very big, and it was full of densely packed specks of light everywhere - red, green, and white.
"Annie, explain this."
"Roger, Commander. The power plant comes with a small radar map, which is what you currently see. Everything within a 100-meter diameter centered around you is illuminated. The white specks represent Red Alert Units, green ones survivors, red ones zombies. There are also purple specks for Mutant Beasts and blue for supply boxes."
Xiao Fan looked closely. Indeed, the white specks were all around him, exactly four - Wang Zhan's squad.
As for the red, there were far too many to count, densely packed within a 100-meter radius.
Especially at the outpatient and emergency section, it was simply a sea of red - no wonder with the system he narrowly escaped death over there. Here in the inpatient area he was relatively safer.
There were occasional green specks around, likely survivors hiding in certain spots.
No purple Mutant Beasts specks in sight, so there seemed to be none nearby for now.
But from Annie's description, these Mutant Beasts sounded even more terrifying than zombies.
As for the blue supply boxes, Xiao Fan remembered them from the game, randomly spawning on the map.
The supplies from the boxes widely varied - could be soldiers, tanks, or money.
Not even limited to one country, anything military-related from around the world might spawn, an important means for players to boost strength and get rich.
After hearing Annie's explanations, Xiao Fan scrutinized the map closely, though not expecting much. To his surprise, he actually discovered a blue speck on the map!
Located east of him, about 40 meters away, a blue speck hidden among some green ones.
Since the blue and green colors were fairly close, Xiao Fan did not notice it right away earlier.
He hurried to the window and peered east.
Forty meters wasn't far. It was inside the hospital campus, at the surgical building.
But the surgical building also had 6 floors. Which floor would the supply box be on?
Xiao Fan's gaze searched floor by floor, finally settling on the first floor of the surgical building - that was where the hospital canteen was located!
saw a female celebrity tied up and stuffed in the trunk! Little did he know, countless cameras were aimed at him at this moment - this was a new type of reality show. The first randomly selected passerby was caught in less than an hour. But when Xu Moru was selected, things started to take an unexpected turn. "Damn, this isn't how the script goes. This Xu Moru is too bold, he's not following the rules at all." "Crap, is this guy taking it seriously?" "The female celebrity has been scared to tears!"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
