At dawn, a dull gunshot rang out in the silent street, followed by the dull sound of something falling to the ground, and then silence again.

Zhou Chu walked out of the shadows on the side of the street, the muzzle of the shotgun in his hand was still smoking.

"It's already morning."

Squinting at the rising sun in the distance, Zhou Chu muttered to himself, and then walked towards the place where the sun had already shone with his backpack.

The city rarely sees sunlight, at least this week, this is the first time Zhou Chu has seen such bright sunlight in the daytime, so he did not hesitate to climb to the top of a seventeen-story building that can shine into the sun, sealed the only iron door, put his backpack aside, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and enjoyed this rare moment.

This was the eighth day in this dream world since he had spoken to the Ring, and it was the sixteenth day he had started this dream.

At least for now, Zhou Chu is used to this kind of life.

This is a huge area, with a population base of several million people, but it should be a fictitious city, at least Zhou Chu has not heard of the city of Pearl City, according to Zhou Chu's memory and collected information, the virus leaked on August 20, and the time he entered this nightmare was August 21, the virus broke out seven days later, that is, the eighth day he entered this nightmare, August 31, and now it is September 8, the eighth day after the virus broke out.

After enjoying the rare sunshine for a while, Zhou Chu stood up and looked at the high-rise buildings in the distance, those cement buildings were still towering, but they were no longer prosperous, it was only the eighth day, and everything began to show signs of desertion and decadence.

Lone Hero...... At this moment, Zhou Chu seems to have this feeling, just like Will Smith in "I Am Legend", a city, a person, fighting countless zombies, surviving, and living.

But it shouldn't be like this, I really took what the hell bell said seriously, and played this nightmare as a real version of the online game, I don't know if the brain is pumped or it's a bitter fun, but if it's a game, things shouldn't just be as simple as survival, there should be something else, Zhou Chu vaguely felt like this, which can be proved by the voice that suddenly sounded in his head after he killed a zombie the day before.

That day, when Zhou Chu exploded the head of a zombie, a voice suddenly sounded in his head, startling him.

"Kill a hundred zombies, get the achievement 'First Show', the Dream World Realm rewards ten points, one suitable weapon magazine, and the Real World Realm rewards one hundred dollars."

After settling down, Zhou Chu realized that this was what the Dark Bell said, the "consciousness" of the Nightmare World Realm, but this point, what is the use, but he doesn't know the way, but it is the existence of this point that makes him believe that in this Nightmare World, what needs to be done is definitely not just as simple as survival, there must be something else, but you must find it yourself, otherwise you only need to keep killing zombies and surviving, and you can get a steady stream of rewards, which seems to be a little too easy.

It's just that having said that, it's not that easy, just such an endless survival can drive people crazy, not to mention, there are some terrifying existences, such as licking the master...... It's just that Zhou Chu's luck in the past few days is better, and he hasn't met lickers, and there are a few mutated zombies, but they only move faster and have more strength.

Since you don't know anything, you can only rely on your own judgment to explore and find.

After enjoying a burst of rare sunshine, Zhou Chu stood up, picked up his backpack, went downstairs, and continued to walk forward.

There was some quiet along the way, which made Zhou Chu more cautious, and after talking to the Dead Bell that day, he gave up his plan to stay in one place, but traveled lightly, collecting information while heading towards every place where clues might appear. …,

This is a huge city, Zhou Chu has been exploring the police station and hospital in the nearby area one after another, but to no avail, and has targeted the nearest research institute to him, which is also the goal he wanted to explore in the first place, a small private biological research institute.

In the original Resident Evil, the virus outbreak in Raccoon City was caused by William stepping on a T-virus test tube, which was the main reason, and the lack of capacity of the waste treatment plant only mutated some people, which was the reason for the sporadic SS attacks on humans in the city. The virus in the mountainous area has not entered the city, and the victims in the mountainous area have basically been eaten by dogs, and the foreign houses, training centers, and trains have been destroyed, and no virus has leaked out. Perhaps there are still mutated creatures in the mountains, but they have little impact on the city, and it can be seen from the information that the creatures in the mountains only attacked the climbers at the beginning to attract the attention of the police. The outbreak was caused mainly by rat spread in the city.

Therefore, if in this city, if you want to find out the source, or the place where the virus first broke out, the biological research institute must go, even if the virus does not break out by leakage, but artificially, then you will more or less know some clues, if you still don't know the way, then there is no way, then continue to wander around the city, searching, until the day there are clues.

And the institute is still about two or three hours away, and the closer you get to the institute, the quieter the neighborhood is, which in itself reveals weirdness, if the zombie group has the biological instinct to divide the area according to ability, then the quieter it is, the fewer zombies wandering, but the more dangerous it is.

Along the way, several more zombies were knocked down, and the surrounding buildings began to change from bustling and dense to scattered and dilapidated close to the suburbs, representing the spire of the research institute, and also appeared far away from the end of the view.

There was probably a distance of more than a thousand meters, Zhou Chu measured it visually, then looked around, and walked towards a convenience store, he needed to make some adjustments and rest before entering the research institute.

The convenience store was in a mess, but Zhou Chu still found the food and water he needed, after the experience of the past few days, Zhou Chu found that the so-called food seems to become more perishable in such an environment, except for food such as compressed dry food, the others are not too safe and easy to carry, so these days, he is now found to be edible food, and solve it on the spot, and what he carries in the backpack will only be compressed dry food and other food and mineral water that are difficult to swallow but easy to preserve.

After disposing of a bag of uncontaminated instant noodles and bread, and drinking a bottle of mineral water, Zhou Chu put his backpack in the corner of the convenience store, covered it with other miscellaneous items, and walked out of the convenience store with only a shotgun.

There is now a shotgun, a submachine gun, and a pistol, these days, Zhou Chu rarely uses a submachine gun, but uses the shotgun found in the defense line that day, and the reason for choosing this gun at that time was not only because of the high lethality at close range, but also because this shotgun had the most ammunition at that time. But these days, even if Zhou Chu chooses to take a detour most of the time and never clashes with the zombie group head-on, but even if it is a sudden encounter, the bullets of the shotgun are almost exhausted, and the submachine gun has also used up a magazine, but with the addition of the reward, I don't know when it appeared in the backpack, so it became two magazines, and the pistol is 20 bullets, plus a folding knife, a multi-functional tactical dagger, plus a flashlight, this is all the equipment on his body.

It's pitiful, but Rao is these equipment, plus a backpack, made Zhou Chu unbearable at first, but on the second day, after the embarrassment on the third day, Zhou Chu also began to get used to this load.

It's just that if you don't find anything, the rest of the day will be even worse, and in addition to these, there are some places in the city that reveal weirdness, such as the hospital and the police station, where you can't find any guns, ammunition and medicines, as if there are no such things at all, or they have been looted. …,

With a sigh, Zhou Chu looked at the research institute in the distance and walked over.

It's just that the more he walks towards the research institute, the more obvious the strange silence becomes, and even Zhou Chu feels that he can't hear any sound except for his own footsteps, not even the sound of the wind, and it seems that there is no living creature except himself. And the main entrance of the institute has appeared at the end of the road.

Zhou Chu stopped and stood there quietly for a while, then picked up his gun and slowly walked towards the gate of the research institute step by step.

But with each step, in Zhou Chu's intuition, the feeling of danger became stronger and stronger, even so strong that he was constantly reminding him that if he went further, it would be a great danger.

But the surroundings are still quiet and abnormal, which makes Zhou Chu hesitate a little, it's not impossible to leave, but the most likely place to find something in the nearby area is here. Zhou Chu stood in the middle of the street, hesitated, and continued to walk forward.

But this step out, a sudden change occurred!

On the building behind the gate of the research institute, an unusually large licker suddenly jumped out, and then raised its head and screamed in the air.

Without waiting for Zhou Chu to react, the silence was suddenly broken, and there was a rustling sound of movement everywhere, and then a tide of zombies poured out from all directions from the corners of the streets, from the broken parts of the buildings, from the darkness and shadows.

Zhou Chu stood alone in the middle of the street, facing this frenzied crowd of zombies, the number of which was far greater than that night.

He was completely surrounded.
