Chapter 8: The Strange Mall
Yi Xiao clenched the axe in his hand and approached the zombie step by step.
He worked hard to get the player qualification, but not to make a living!
With the help of the car on the side of the road as a cover, skillfully avoiding the sight of the zombies, Yi Xiao successfully approached within five meters of the zombies.
The zombie suddenly stopped wandering and raised its head, as if discerning the smell in the air.
Seeing the zombie's action, Yi Xiao knew that he should have been discovered!
But it doesn't matter anymore, this distance, at his current speed, can be crossed in an instant!
His right foot kicked the ground hard, stirring up a cloud of dust, and his body was like electricity, and he quickly approached the zombie.
The sudden sound caught the zombie's attention, and just as it was about to turn back, a huge axe had already come at him, slashing at his face!
In this way, a zombie did not make the slightest resistance, and was successfully killed by Yi Xiao.
The noise here attracted the attention of another zombie not far away.
It turned its head and found a living person standing in front of it, and immediately roared and rushed towards Yi Xiao! For zombies, the living are the prey!
"It's good to come!" It's not up to the zombies to decide who is the hunter and who is the prey!
Yi Xiao did not retreat but advanced, rushed up against the zombies, and when they were about to meet again, Yi Xiao turned slightly sideways, dodged the two life-seeking claws, and fell with an axe in his hand to complete the double kill!
"It's a pity that the weapon is still a little unsuitable." Yi Xiao muttered to himself.
Because he was using a model axe that didn't have a blade, Yi Xiao had to swing it with all his might to make sure it was safe.
Leaned over and took out two Yuan Energy Crystals, and wiped the axe on the zombie.
Suddenly, another roar came from a distance.
"Oops!" Yi Xiao's face changed, he didn't expect that these zombies would be noticed if they were so sensitive to sound and so far away!
Seeing that nearly ten zombies were rushing here in the distance, Yi Xiao's scalp suddenly went numb.
Run!
In the face of this number of zombies, although it is not impossible to solve, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be injured.
"Damn! I must grab enough 100 Yuan Energy Crystals! โ
As soon as you get together a hundred Yuan Energy Crystals, you can exchange them for antibody pills, and you don't have to be so timid when the time comes!
Yi Xiao secretly made up his mind while running quickly in the direction of the mall.
Because the chasing zombies kept roaring, the noisy sound attracted more zombies, and the zombies were like snowballs, gathering more and more. "Damn, you chase after it, what are you shouting?"
Yi Xiao kept looking back as he ran, looking at the large group of zombies behind him, he didn't dare to stop at all.
Fortunately, Yi Xiao's speed has far exceeded ordinary people, and the zombies can only roar behind, but it is wishful thinking to catch up with Yi Xiao. Can't beat it, can't I still run away?
Finally, the gate of the mall appeared in Yi Xiao's field of vision, and there were hundreds of zombies behind him at this time! Most of them are attracted by the sound along the way.
"How so!" Yi Xiao saw a terrifying scene.
At the gate of the mall, there was also a group of zombies, dozens of them!
And most of them were wandering around the gate, and now they heard the sound and looked at Yi Xiao in unison.
"Damn it!" Yi Xiao was forced to change direction, he didn't expect that there were so many zombies in the mall, and if he broke in, it was no different from thinking.
Yi Xiao crossed a huge arc, and with his super high speed, he successfully bypassed the oncoming zombie horde.
Yi Xiao's face was solemn, he didn't expect things to develop to this point, if it went on like this, when his physical strength was exhausted, he would be overwhelmed by the zombies chasing after him!
"No, we have to find a way!"
Suddenly, Yi Xiao noticed the exhaust fan at the back of the mall and had a plan.
The height of the exhaust fan is between the first floor and the second floor, and this height can be fought hard with Yi Xiao's current physical fitness.
With the help of this exhaust fan, he might be able to go straight to the second floor!
Looking at the zombies chasing after him, Yi Xiao took a deep breath and sought wealth and danger!
Do what you think!
Yi Xiao rounded an arc and successfully reached the back of the mall.
Keep your eyes on the exhaust fan, and with the help of the inertia of speed, you can leap hard!
It worked!
Yi Xiao grabbed the exhaust fan with both hands, looked back at the zombie group that was getting closer and closer, no longer hesitated, supported it with both hands, and the whole person climbed on the exhaust fan, and at this time the window on the second floor was already within reach!
Swing the axe, smash the glass directly, grab the edge of the windowsill, and roll over and jump into the mall!
"Whewโit's so dangerous!" Looking at the black head below, Yi Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
This group of unintelligent zombies can't climb, or even jump, and can only roar at Yi Xiao below.
Seeing this, Yi Xiao stopped caring about the zombies below, and slowly sat down against the wall, greedily breathing the air around him.
I thought that my current strength could protect myself, but I didn't expect this zombie to be more troublesome than he imagined, as long as one is not careful, it will provoke a large number of zombies, and like a dog skin plaster, you can't get rid of it.
After being safe, there was a sudden strong feeling of hunger in his abdomen, and he was in urgent need of some energy after a lot of physical exertion in the afternoon!
This shopping mall Yi Xiao is more familiar, the first floor is a supermarket, the second to fifth floors are some clothing and other goods, the sixth floor is a small food city, and the seventh floor is a gym.
If you want to find food, you can only go to the first and sixth floors, but in this situation, it is obviously irrational to go to the first floor, just from the outside, there are not a few zombies on the first floor.
"Then we'll have to go to the sixth floor." Yi Xiao picked up his axe and walked in the direction of the stairs.
Old-fashioned malls like this have no escalators, only straight elevators and stairs for safe passage.
In this case, taking the straight ladder is looking for death, and the ghost knows what will greet you when the door is opened, and when the time comes, you will be blocked inside, and you won't be able to run.
Perhaps because of the disaster, everyone ran downstairs, there were not many zombies on this floor, only a lone zombie, which was solved by Yi Xiao casually.
After harvesting another Yuan Energy Crystal, Yi Xiao came to the staircase.
Stretched out his hand to open the heavy door, and suddenly, an inexplicable palpitation suddenly surged into his heart.
The dark and quiet corridor is like a beast hidden in the dark, choosing people to devour.
Yi Xiao swallowed, he hesitated a little, this strong uneasiness gave him a sense of foreboding, and his subconscious was very resistant to moving on.
"I was really scared by that group of zombies, and I was actually afraid of the dark." Shaking his head, he threw aside the uneasy thoughts in his heart, and he came here, is it possible to retreat?
Now that the outside is surrounded by zombies, and the night is about to come, the sixth floor is the only source of food now, and it can also provide him with a shelter.
If you retreat just because of the sense of crisis chasing after the wind, how can you be willing?
took out his mobile phone, there was still no signal, but Yi Xiao's purpose was not to make a call, in this case, the mobile phone could be used as a lighting tool!
The staircase was surprisingly quiet, and there weren't even a single zombie! The quieter it was, the stronger the sense of crisis in Yi Xiao's heart.
"Could it be that Chengdu ran out?" Yi Xiao thought to himself.
At this time, he had reached the fifth floor, only one floor away from the sixth floor, but the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger, as if something very bad was about to happen.
Tightening the axe in his hand, he continued to move forward, and finally came to the sixth floor.
Reach for the doorknob and take a deep breath to adjust yourself to the best possible condition.
It stands to reason that the food city should be the most crowded place in the entire mall, and even if it is not a meal when the disaster breaks out, the flow of customers will not be low.
Once the door is opened, he may have to deal with a large number of zombies, and he must be careful to deal with them!
Squeak โ
Because of the age, there was a sound when the door was opened, which was especially harsh in the silent corridor, and the already nervous heart beat faster.
Yi Xiao held the axe horizontally in front of him and quickly scanned the environment on the sixth floor.
No zombies! Yi Xiao didn't see a single zombie! There isn't a single zombie on this sixth floor!
The entire sixth-floor tables and chairs were smashed to pieces, and blood was everywhere on the ground, and you could clearly feel how tragic it was when the disaster came!
But in such a messy situation, there are not a single zombie!
Uncanny! Everything in front of me is full of weirdness.
Yi Xiao walked cautiously towards the sales window, carefully looking around with each step.
It's a short stretch of road, and it's hard to walk for ten minutes.
But until he reached the window, nothing happened, as if the zombies here had disappeared from the world.
Carefully picked up a sausage, opened the package and stuffed it into his mouth, even in the process of eating, Yi Xiao kept observing the surroundings and maintaining a high degree of vigilance.
In this case, sausages are undoubtedly the best food, ready to eat, eliminating the need for cooking.
With a sausage in his stomach, his hunger level was much lower, and Yi Xiao planned to explore the sixth layer carefully later, and then make a big meal with the existing ingredients after he was completely sure that it was safe.
But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly appeared.
"Trigger Scene Mission: Predator in the Shadows!"
This voice, Yi Xiao will never forget! Because it was this voice that announced the start of the game!
With this prompt, Yi Xiao had an extra piece of information in his mind.
Mission: Predator in the shadows
Difficulty: Low
Description: Find the predator hiding in the shadows and kill it.
Mission Time Limit: None
Rewards: 40 points and random items
Failure Penalty: None
"And a mission?" Yi Xiao was stunned for a moment.
From the very beginning of the game, to obtaining player qualifications, and the enhanced store, there are still missions appearing!
The world, it seems, has really become a game, and they have really become gamers.
Only one difference, dead in this game, there is absolutely no option to resurrect!
