The zombie was dressed in a full suit, unconsciously carrying a black briefcase.
It must have been an ordinary office worker who turned into a zombie when the apocalypse broke out.
Ning Yu remained calm, slowly raising her sleeve.
She was about to test the power of her sleeve crossbow.
But suddenly, as if remembering something, she retracted her movement.
Acting as if she hadn't seen the zombie, she casually dodged its attack and tripped it to the ground.
Then she quickly left the scene.
There's a saying: "A rabbit doesn't eat grass near its own nest."
The zombies around this supermarket were both a threat and a barrier.
If she killed them all, it would clearly create an opportunity for others to come to the supermarket without fear.
Besides attracting countless troublesome villains,
It might also lure out those moral-high-ground experts who were too afraid to go out and find food themselves, but were skilled at lecturing others, coming to demand food.
For example: "You have so much food, what's wrong with sharing some with us!"
Or: "I'm almost starving to death, how can you stand by and do nothing!"
The mere thought of it was nauseating.
Ning Yu even had the ruthless thought that there weren't enough zombies in the vicinity.
After bypassing the zombies surrounding the supermarket, Ning Yu followed the edge of a small path and arrived at a wide road several blocks away.
The view was much clearer here, fully revealing the decay of the apocalyptic world.
Dried bloodstains, scattered newspapers, various pieces of litter and drink bottles, broken weapons and shattered glass, along with cars piled up in chain-reaction crashes, some still billowing thick black smoke.
Even more densely packed zombies wandered through this chaotic steel forest, presenting a bleak scene.
Although Ning Yu had seen zombie apocalypses in movies, seeing it with her own eyes was a different kind of shock.
She had a vague feeling that this zombie disaster was probably far worse than she had imagined.
A female zombie on the street corner fixated on Ning Yu, its stomach already torn open.
Clearly, it was an unfortunate victim who had turned.
It let out an excited howl and stumbled towards Ning Yu.
Another middle-aged male zombie nearby also heard the female zombie's howl.
As if receiving a signal, it too turned its head, revealing a ferocious face - half of which had been gnawed away.
Ning Yu didn't move forward, instead waiting for them to get closer before preparing to act.
She didn't want to alert more zombies.
Lifting the pretty lace trim of her Western-style dress sleeve revealed a silver-gray metal crossbow.
This time she could finally take action.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Two silver streaks shot out from her sleeve like silver lightning bolts.
The two zombies were instantly and precisely hit in the center of their foreheads by two crossbow bolts, which penetrated deep into their skulls, killing them instantly.
Such speed, and quite powerful too!
Ning Yu was somewhat surprised.
Initially, seeing the size of the sleeve crossbow, she was delighted by its convenience but still had doubts about its power.
Now it seemed her worries were unnecessary.
The crossbow bolts fired almost silently, not attracting the attention of other zombies.
If Ning Yu had used a gun, probably every zombie on the street would have started chasing her.
[You have killed an ordinary zombie, gained 10 points]
[You have killed an ordinary zombie, gained 11 points]
Consecutive system prompts sounded in her mind.
Hm? Why did the second zombie give one extra point?
Ning Yu felt puzzled, remembering that in the newbie mission, both zombies had given 10 points.
She went over to retrieve the crossbow bolts from the zombies' heads.
Then she targeted another zombie wandering near a car.
Aim, fire.
[You have killed an ordinary zombie, gained 12 points]
As expected!
It seemed that after the newbie mission, killing zombies would give a combo kill bonus!
Does that mean if she continued to kill consecutively, she could stack up to 100 or even 1000 points per zombie?
If so, those high-end weapons would be within her reach soon!
So she immediately began to quickly clear out zombies.
She soon got the answer she wanted.
[You have killed an ordinary zombie, gained 20 points]
[You have killed an ordinary zombie, gained 20 points]
The combo bonus for these points only increased to 20 and then stopped rising.
It seemed her intention to exploit a bug and farm points had already been seen through by the system.
Seeing more and more zombies starting to notice her and converging in her direction,
Ning Yu decided to stop for now, not wanting to waste too much energy here.
[Ding! Normal mission triggered: Kill 50 zombies 0/50]
[Mission reward: Extra 1000 points, Low-grade T-virus Immunity Capsule (3 hours) *1]
Just as she was about to leave, the system's annoying prompt sounded in her mind.
Ning Yu was stunned that a mission could be triggered like this.
But for this mission, besides the 1000 points from the 50 zombies themselves, there was an extra 1000 points.
And a free immunity capsule to boot.
This was a good deal.
Watching more and more zombies gathering,
Ning Yu showed no fear at all.
In her eyes, these seemingly terrifying zombies were nothing more than walking points.
Shooting and retrieving the titanium alloy sleeve crossbow's bolts was too slow.
She loaded the bolts she had just retrieved but didn't intend to continue using it.
It was time to get serious, Ning Yu thought as she watched the points walking towards her.
Dagger unsheathed, axe taken from her waist.
She revealed a joyful smile.
......
Hearing the commotion of zombies downstairs, a female white-collar worker slowly crawled out of bed in a luxury hotel.
She had been trapped here for several days.
A few days ago when the zombie outbreak occurred, the streets were full of man-eating monsters.
She hadn't gone out yet at that time, but outside was already a living hell.
She was terrified.
No matter how loud the knocking on the door became, she wouldn't open it, just curling up in this hotel room.
Looking at her dwindling supply of biscuits, she felt she needed to adjust her daily eating plan again.
Being trapped was terrifying, and boring.
Her only entertainment was watching to see which unfortunate soul downstairs would fall victim to the zombies,
Causing a commotion in this neighborhood.
Today was the same, she was preparing to reward herself with a biscuit for the "morning show" she had just heard.
However, when she leaned against the window, her eyes widened, and she even forgot to bite the biscuit in her hand.
She had never seen a scene like this before!
A little girl in an exquisite Western-style dress stood proudly on the gloomy, bloody city street.
She stood out starkly in the circle of surrounding zombies.
This little girl held a dagger and an axe.
Using the natural barrier formed by several crashed buses and a telephone booth, she was engaged in a fierce battle with a group of zombies.
Rather than a battle, it was more of a one-sided slaughter!
The little girl moved as casually as if she were taking a leisurely stroll, effortlessly weaving between the zombies' lunges.
The dagger and axe in her hands struck directly at the zombies' brains with each move, granting them death.
The scene was so shocking, exciting, and bloody, yet filled with an unparalleled violent aesthetics.
The little girl's exquisite Western-style dress hem, stained with fresh blood, swayed gently with her movements, like a thorny red rose.
In this merciless apocalyptic world, it bloomed forcefully and domineeringly.
She was the only color in this gray world.
Watching the last zombie fall, the white-collar woman withdrew her gaze.
She had forgotten to bite the biscuit in her hand.
She felt as if she had received some kind of inspiration, her emotions surging and unable to calm down.
She looked at her dwindling biscuit supply, then at the tightly closed room door.
The white-collar woman finally seemed to have made some sort of decision, as if to fight against something.
She grabbed a dinner knife, which came with the small kitchen in the luxury room.
Taking a deep breath.
She walked to the door and opened it....
