Chapter Thirty-Eight: Hunted and Killed
In the game, Gu Pin Yaoshun successfully promoted to a first-class rookie player after killing a few zombies who were left alone. Although her progress was slow, she completely relied on her ordinary physique to defeat the zombies, so she was not much disappointed in her heart, but had the joy of seeing the results of her training. Don't ask her why she didn't think of using the lethal Magic Pattern, after all, she played the game to train her own agility. Originally, she was an ordinary person in modern times, although there is a lot of energy accumulated in her body now, but the foundation of her body is far less than that of people in the future.
In a technological society, people focus on physical training from an early age in order to make better use of technology. And Gu Pinyao's rebirth only absorbed the genes and memories of the original owner, the body is reshaped, and the body functions still need to be continuously improved. Now she is learning physical movements with Bai Ying in the supermarket every day, although it is only the initial training, but the effect is very significant. When dealing with zombies a few times, Gu Pinyao could feel the changes in his body senses. According to the location and movements of the zombies, she can continuously analyze them in her mind, completely calculate the attack posture of the zombies' various routes, and derive the best plan to deal with the enemy.
After finding that he was not helpless in the face of zombies, now Gu Pinyao is not very resistant to going out alone. After all, in the game, the game characters are also like real people, and they need to be supplemented with the right amount of nutrition every day. If you don't have food for a long time, your hunger level will drop dramatically, and your health will drop dramatically, which will be dangerous.
Now Gu Pinyao is hiding in the corner of a narrow street, clicking on his character interface. Although the zombie interface is simulated according to the earth in the apocalyptic period, from the perspective of Gu Pinyao, a modern person, he really didn't find much of a bug. But a game is a game after all, and it can't really leave the player in one place without a clue. So after the gamer is promoted to the first level, there will be a structure map in the character interface. There are simple layouts of buildings and villages, and even routes to other cities. However, there is no such thing as a teleportation point in the game, and players will need to find their own tools to get there if they want to leave the ruined city and go to the human base. The zombie trail system will not prompt, and it is only up to the player to find and solve it.
Gu Pinyao saw from the character interface that he was now located in the suburbs of H City, and the population was relatively scattered, so the density of zombies was not very high. Originally, she planned to collect food while attacking zombies to gain experience, but when she opened the map, she was attracted to an unusual place. There was a village less than ten kilometers away from her, and a red dot was flashing in that village at the moment. According to the game's guide, the flashing red dot is either an NPC or a large number of survivors.
Although Gu Pinyao's purpose in playing games is to train himself, it is always not good to work behind closed doors. If you can meet a survivor, you might be able to see how other players in the game survive in the zombie interface. If she meets an NPC, she can also gain experience by doing tasks through guò, and no matter how bad it is, it will be considered a long insight. But now her first task is to gather enough food, and secondly, it is better to find a well-defended car, plus enough gasoline to support her to reach the village in the Red Dot.
Based on the analysis of the buildings on the game map, Gu Pinyao deduced that there was a large shopping mall a few hundred meters in front of her. Most of these shopping malls combine shopping, leisure, entertainment, and dining. Although it is in a suburban area, the shopping mall is not fully functional, but there must be no shortage of food in the mall, and it would be better if she could collect some cooking utensils and household items.
Gu Pinyao was holding the watermelon knife tightly in his right hand at the moment, leaning sideways and carefully leaning against the hidden place, his eyes sharpened to check the movements around him, and then cautiously walked along the wall towards the destination. Along the way, her ears faintly heard the roar of zombies floating in the distance from time to time. From time to time, the zombies let out a low roar from their throats, making people feel chills all over their bodies in the desolate and dilapidated old city. Most of the zero-level zombies in the early stage relied on hearing to capture food, so Gu Pinyao tried to avoid the sound of rubbing between his body and his surroundings. In the alleys she passed, there were sometimes two zero-level zombies wandering, and after using the physical skills taught by Bai Ying to raise a knife to kill, Gu Pinyao would leave in a hurry. Sometimes when she encounters a group of zombies, she will take advantage of the other party's lack of notice to quickly dodge. Although her ability improved quickly during this period of training, she was not sure that she would be able to deal with a group of zombies. What's more, she is still an ordinary physique in the game and can't resist the zombie virus. After several evasions, she was finally only a few steps away from the mall at her destination.
Gu Pinyao took a deep breath, took a quick step, and plunged into the mall. Judging from the number of jù on the map, this store belongs to a medium-sized department store, with a total business area of about 1,000 square meters, but there is no specific diagram of the layout of the mall on the map, so Gu Pinyao can only explore it on his own. Since H City has long been an empty city, it is obvious that the lighting system of this shopping mall has long been paralyzed, and even a layer of dust has accumulated on the ground. Fortunately, the lighting in the mall is good, and Gu Pinyao can clearly see the crooked sales shelves. It may have been some survivor who hastily took the outer layer of food, and looking at the empty iron frame, she could only continue to go deeper.
It's just that the further he goes, the more blurred Gu Pinyao's vision becomes. The shoes were on the smooth floor, and the sound of grinding could be faintly heard. Looking down, he noticed that there were some fragmentary footprints on the ground where the dust had accumulated, Gu Pinyao's spirit was a little tense at the moment, and his actions were more cautious.
At this time, Gu Pinyao's back followed the edge of a cargo rack, and his footsteps carefully moved to a side passage in the mall and paused. At this moment, she held the watermelon knife tightly in her right hand, turned it to the most suitable angle, and took out a bag of biscuits that she had taken in the cargo rack with her left hand, and quickly threw it into the distance. All I heard was the plastic-wrapped biscuits smashing to the ground, making a loud noise in this empty space.
At this moment, a sharp claw covered with carrion suddenly slashed towards Gu Pinyao. Sideways to dodge, Gu Pinyao slashed the opponent's wrist with a force. The right leg kicked horizontally under the opponent's ribs, and then quickly landed and kicked forward, and the left leg kicked back, forcing the zombie to retreat again and again, and then fell after encountering the obstacle. Now is the time! Gu Pinyao, in line with the code of conduct of taking advantage of his illness to kill him, stabbed at the other party's temporal bone like an arrow.
I only heard a 'poof' sound, and I couldn't afford to fall to the ground. Gu Pinyao didn't have time to rest at this time, only to see her eyes turn, and she retreated in an arc. It turned out that there was another zombie behind her who was ready to sneak attack from behind, but Gu Pinyao dodged and made him pounce. Seeing that the other party had dodged his attack, the zombie made a soft 'snort' sound in his throat, as if he was out of breath. Gu Pinyao immediately put the watermelon knife into the storage space, raised his palms into fists, leaned forward, suddenly knelt down on his left knee, stepped up and hugged the zombie and fell violently with his legs. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party collapsed to the ground, Gu Pinyao took out a watermelon knife from the storage space, pierced it at the opponent's temple, and smashed the handle of the knife with a fist with his right hand, piercing the opponent's skull hard. Pulling out his weapon, Gu Pinyao didn't have time to gasp, and immediately swept the food from the sales shelves into his storage space. At this time, he was no longer afraid of disturbing the zombies, so he hurriedly ran to the daily necessities area of the store, rolled up a few quilts and ran towards the emergency exit he saw before.
Sure enough, there were indeed a lot of zombies hidden in the store, and they had no food for a long time, and they stood still in one place without moving. As soon as the prey appeared, they all woke up. At this moment, groups were chasing behind Gu Pinyao, making her sweat and not daring to stop.
