Chapter 5: The City of Zombies
"Where is this?"
"What's going on, are we in the promotion challenge?"
"What is this place, why is it so dark?"
"Will anyone attack us now?"
Yang Ming and the others woke up again instead of falling to the ground and slowly waking up one by one like they had done in the Clearer space before, this time Yang Ming and the six of them woke up together, and they all stood in a small space.
"Shhhh Calm down, everybody! Yang Ming glanced around, and then made a silent gesture to remind everyone.
Yang Ming's words made everyone who had just woken up together and was a little flustered come back to their senses, knowing that they were afraid that the promotion challenge was really about to start, so they all carefully observed the surroundings, and no longer shouted like just now.
Yang Ming: The place where they woke up is a slender and narrow space, the width of about two meters is more than ten meters deep, the height is not high, and the ceiling is a head higher than Yang Ming, it looks like it is more than two meters, all around is wrapped in iron sheets, and there is a small pale yellow bulb hanging on the ceiling, this bulb style is very old, so the light emitted by it still looks so dim in this small space.
"Containers! We're inside the container now! Yang Ming touched the iron sheets around him and said lightly.
"In that case, the place in front of me with light should be the door, so I'll open it and see where the cleaner got us." The man in the flower shirt immediately took a big stride, walking as he went.
"No, no! Do you want to wait? The white-collar man said with some hesitation, it seemed that he still didn't want to face what was going to happen next.
"Click! Click! The man in the flower shirt moved quickly, walked to the door of the container in a few steps and pulled the deadbolt twice, but it was obvious that the container was locked and he did not open it.
"MD, what the hell is this clearer, didn't you say let's advance to the challenge? What does it mean to lock us here, play Escape Room? As soon as the man in the flower shirt saw that the door was not opened, he immediately cursed.
The action of the man in the flower shirt made everyone's nerves tense all of a sudden, but seeing that he didn't open the door of the container, everyone was relieved, people still have to escape from their hearts, in the face of the cruel reality, of course, it is better to face it later.
"Wait a minute, guys, look at your wrists!" At this time, Meng Xiyao's voice suddenly sounded in surprise.
Hearing Meng Xiyao's reminder, everyone immediately looked at their wrists, and sure enough, everyone had an extra bracelet on their wrists, this bracelet was very light, if a thin piece of paper was attached to the wrist, it would not be found if you didn't look carefully and feel it, because it was close to the wrist, the bracelet seemed to be unable to be easily taken off!
Yang Ming saw Meng Xiyao staring at the bracelet stunned, he knew that there must be something mysterious on the bracelet, checked it slightly, and found that there was a black area on the bracelet, which looked like a button, Yang Ming looked at it and pressed it gently.
"Advance to the Challenge Novice Field: Zombie City
Difficulty: 1 star
Challenge: Survive in the arena for 30 days
Additional Quest Reward: Change a major event or kill a specific target (Bracelet Random Reminder)
Challenge Start Time: Thirty minutes later (time to enter the countdown)
Clearer's message: Haha, the lowest difficulty of one star for novices, I can take care of everyone! By the way, in order to make a big fuss for you, I also set up a place where you can get started, which is also aimed at your human characteristics, how can I be moved by my own carefulness now, I don't know if you are moved at the moment? Well, I won't say more, I wish you all to come back alive, and remember that you represent not only yourself, but also the people around you! Bye! ”
After pressing the bracelet, this information suddenly appeared in Yang Ming's mind, as if the bracelet had connected Yang Ming's brain nerves, and the final message was indeed the tone of the clearer.
"Survive for thirty days, the environment in the zombie city should be similar to that in the movie! After all, the Cleaner guy seems to be very fond of movies and funny, which is also in line with his character. The most important thing in street fighting is weapons and food and a safe place, if the zombies have the weakness of not being able to move during the day in the movie, it would be even better!
The difficulty of one star seems simple, but the Clearer will definitely not allow us to spend these thirty days easily, so there must be some changes in it, especially the extra mission rewards, which are estimated to be in line with certain events. After Yang Ming got the information, he instinctively began to find out the key points of the matter and began to think about how to act next, which is a habit he has cultivated in his years of military career.
When Yang Ming thought about it, he also found that everyone had already received the information prompt of the bracelet, and then he glanced at the time again, and found that there was still a lot of time, waiting and waiting, Yang Ming coughed lightly and said, "Hmm! You should have all been informed that we will survive together in this challenge space for the next 30 days, so the best way for us is to help each other and cooperate with each other, I wonder if you agree with me? ”
"Well, yes, this little brother is right, now everything is about the team, it is not possible to fight alone, with the team we can more easily complete this challenge task." The white-collar man was the first to stand up and echo Yang Ming's words, and after he echoed, the others also nodded in agreement.
"Okay, since everyone agrees, let's introduce each other and have a simple understanding of each other, so that we can better develop our strengths and avoid weaknesses in the future. So I'll come first, my name is Yang Ming, a veteran, and I have some experience in war and wilderness survival. Yang Ming made a suggestion, and then took the lead in speaking.
Yang Ming is a soldier but not a bad person, in this test of life and death, especially when you represent not only yourself but also the lives of relatives and friends around you, he will not drag everyone with different ideas forward, but now at least everyone has the same goal, so Yang Ming still hopes to support each other, so that they can better survive in this challenge.
"Wow! Soldier! Then the combat effectiveness must be good. The white-collar man immediately whispered envy.
"Cut! A soldier in peacetime is at most physically better, and he may not be able to compare with him in terms of being able to beat him. The model man next to the white-collar man immediately said disdainfully when he heard it, and pointed lightly at the flower shirt as he spoke, he didn't have much confidence in a soldier like Yang Ming in peacetime.
"Hmmm! That's right, non-war soldiers are out of the army, and they don't have any actual combat experience at all! Obviously, the white-collar man and others don't know much about modern soldiers, so the white-collar man also nodded and agreed.
The scantily clad woman was shocked when she heard that Yang Ming was a soldier, but then she heard the conversation between the other two men, her eyes dimmed again, and she soon fell on the man in the flower shirt.
"Meng Xiyao, a freshman at Qingnan University, has participated in military training but has average physical strength, intelligence is okay, and there is nothing good at it!" Meng Xiyao ignored the whispers of a few people next to her, and the second introduced.
"Qingnan University, that's the best university, and the people who study there are the pride of the sky!" This time it was the turn of the model man to envy.
"Humph! Who cares if you're studying there while you're alive or dead, what's the use of all this now. The exposed woman snorted coldly, she didn't seem to look very pleasing to female students like Meng Xiyao, and felt that they were just a group of ignorant little girls, and they didn't know the cruelty of society at all.
"Hu Er, everyone calls me my second brother, I haven't studied and I don't have any career, I just show people the field, but when it comes to fighting, I'm not afraid of anyone, you remember to follow my brother after you go out, I don't care if he's a zombie or something else, our buddies will all do it." The man in the flower shirt shook his muscles and swaggered over.
"Yo! I know that the second brother is mighty, people call it the full moon, the moon of the moon, which means bright and lovely, the second brother will go out in a while, you have to take care of others! While introducing herself, the exposed woman walked quickly to Hu Er's side, holding his muscular arms and coquettishly.
As the saying goes, it's good to reach out and don't hit people with smiling faces, let alone a beautiful woman like Yingyue, who has everything, Hu Er immediately straightened up his exposed chest muscles and said, "Don't worry!" It's no problem to have a brother here. ”
"Fang Jian, a network engineer, has some understanding of Internet information such as network security, and his physical strength is average, and he has never even played basketball after graduation, so please take care of him." The white-collar man said embarrassedly, he knew that in addition to the Internet, in the real disorderly society, the ability to survive was very low, and it was a complete burden for the other party to bring him.
"Wei Wei, a model by profession, I have very good physical strength, I have learned karate since I was a child, and now I am a black belt in karate, and I have also learned a little bit of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I have also participated in field tactical training camps, and I also have some attainments in strategy and tactics." The model man seemed to see that Yingyue was a little dissatisfied with Hu Er's flattery, so he immediately showed off his qualifications.
Of course, his show-off was indeed not in vain, and while coaxing Hu Er, Yingyue did cast an ambiguous look at him.
"Humph! Lose face! Meng Xiyao saw that Yingyue was showing off her charm as a woman here, and immediately snorted disdainfully, but the voice was not loud, and it was not heard by Yingyue, who was busy on the side, if she heard that the two women were not good, it would be a mutual cynicism.
Yang Ming originally planned to bring everyone together to study the next move after introducing each other. But although the self-introduction is now completed, and the name and occupation can be matched, but these people all have their own thoughts, and they are extremely unconvinced by each other, it seems that it is difficult to integrate into a team immediately, it is estimated that there is nothing to discuss with them now, Yang Ming can only watch them talk to each other and show off to each other or stutter to each other.
Just when Yang Ming looked at them one and two big, there was a sudden "bang", and the container door that Hu Er hadn't opened for a long time just now suddenly opened!
