Chapter 357: Successful Return
"Shh
The air was filled with the smell of blood and the stench emanating from the mouths of zombies.
Teppei has spent six full days in this special world since the mission began, and today is the last day.
Teppei had a lot of blood on his body, of course, none of it was his own.
His eyes were much more determined than he had been six days ago, and there were only four people left in the team.
At the beginning, these zombies were not too dangerous except for their terrifying appearance and large numbers.
As a rebel-trained Teppei, he can easily use the blade on his waist to cut open the head of a zombie.
Later, this kind of thing called zombies not only increased in number, but also appeared in various "mutants".
Several of his teammates were smashed into two piles of flesh by a guy who looked as big as the king of rock armor hiccun, holding a telephone pole.
even included the white-collar worker who greeted Teppei at the beginning, and the fat man who once questioned the leader.
And the female writer in their team was also ruthlessly abandoned because she was infected with the zombie virus.
Although Teppei had also argued against it, after seeing her mutate, her eyes turned out and she foamed at the mouth, and she rushed towards him, and finally compromised.
Because of the generation gap between their different worlds, the only one in the team who can talk to him is the uncle named Stanley.
At first, the uncle still looked like he was grandiose, saying, "As long as there is a great adventurer like him, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome." ”
But with the attrition of the team, the uncle no longer came forward, and even one night, he told his story completely.
It turned out that this uncle was not called Stanley, this was the name of his former teammates, they had sailed to a place called "Ember Sea", and the real Stanley, in order to save him, died there.
Since then, he has inherited the name, and in order to keep it from being forgotten by others, he often makes up stories and spreads them as his own deeds.
Stanley's face was flushed, and he and Teppei huddled together in the abandoned warehouse of a supermarket on the side of the road, and the two sat back to back, dividing up the few ingredients.
At the beginning of the zombie upheaval, places like supermarkets had already been ransacked, and if it weren't for the small backpacks of the survivors, there would have been nothing left here.
Stanley shuddered as he poured a bottle of beer down his throat, grimace, but barely swallowed.
"Bah, this wine is far from Mondstadt's dandelion, and I have to let you taste it when the time comes, what is the real wine."
"Haha, Uncle Stanley, you forgot, even if we can get out alive, Inazuma is still in the lockdown stage."
Teppei responded with an embarrassed smile, but looking at the moon in the sky and the last day of the clock in his mind, his heart finally relaxed a lot.
"yes, yes, I almost forgot."
"Brother Zheping, if we can get out alive, I will definitely have two drinks with you."
The two made an agreement in silence, but in fact, neither of them dared to guarantee that they would be able to walk out intact.
At this moment, whether it is fear or banter, silence connects the two of them.
The first guide, after introducing the most basic rules, completely left a few people behind and went to a more dangerous place by himself to brush up points.
He had seen the guide pull out two fiery short guns from somewhere, and almost with a single shot, they smashed the giant zombie to pieces.
Although Teyvat also has something similar to a firebolt, both the power and the firepower that barely need to be reloaded let Teppei know that it is something that has been exchanged from that omnipotent space.
And before he left, he also told everyone that as long as he consumed a certain amount of "wishing power", he could still return to his original world.
In the past six days, they have also tried to achieve more advanced goals, but they are almost unarmed, and they can't find guns if they want to, and Tehei, who has killed the most zombies, is only close to seventy by now, which is still very early to reach the goal.
Therefore, they unanimously agreed that they wanted to use the basic level to pass this trial.
It was the last night of the seventh day, and if they held on a little longer, they would be out of this damn place.
But, will things really be as simple as they think?
"Pounding!"
The sound of metal clashing made them tremble, and at the door of the supermarket, they had built a line of defense with roller shutters and all kinds of large cabinets.
But it was clear that some zombies seemed to follow the smell to find them.
"Boom!"
A distinct bump, breaking through the iron sheet of the roller shutter, stretched out of it a flesh-colored, snake-like, sinuous and dancing thing.
"Run!"
Several participants suddenly changed their expressions, they didn't run away at first, because they thought that the defense at the door could resist the zombies from the outside world, and if they acted rashly, the zombies might be able to detect that there were people inside.
But now, it's clear that this "mutant" is coming for them.
As he ran, Teppei picked up Uncle Stanley next to him and picked up the simple spear that the few people had made out of the few mops and knives in the supermarket.
The two ran to the back door of the supermarket, a plan they had set in the first place.
The sound of the door was even more violent, and when he fled from the back door of the warehouse, Teppei even saw something pitch-black, pulling the iron sheet at the door open like tearing paper, and in the moonlight, a round head was exposed, which was a living brain.
The back door opened, and an alley led to the outside street, and with just a few runs, they could get out of the street.
However, the sight in front of him made Teppei and his teammates chill, and their hands and feet suddenly became cold.
On the other side of the alley, it was also surrounded by a group of ordinary zombies that could not be seen at a glance, and the excessively loud movements of several people also attracted their attention.
"This, what can I do!"
Stanley panicked, these days, the main force in the team to kill zombies has always been Teppei, and he can't help much.
"Now, I can only try to rush out."
Zheping gritted his teeth fiercely, there were chasing soldiers in front and an ambush in the back, if they couldn't find a way in a short time, they could only explain here.
"It doesn't look like space is going to be so easy for us to get through."
With this thought in his mind, Teppei picked up the tin cover of the trash can on the side, held a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, and rushed out of the alley with Stanley in the other.
Their teammates did the same, and several of them formed a shield formation and squeezed out towards the zombie horde.
"Come on, a little faster, a little faster, the guy behind is going to catch up!"
Stanley shouted hoarsely from behind, and he saw that a huge object with a length of 3 meters and a weight of several hundred kilograms had appeared from behind.
The limbs are strangely bent backwards, like the limbs of a cheetah and an ostrich, and the whole person shows a predator's temperament, with an exposed brain, sharp claws, and the most evil of all, a dexterous tongue among the fangs.
Stanley had no doubt that if he was touched by that tongue a little, he would probably have a big hole in his body.
"Already, I'm working on it!"
The shield array in front of them is advancing slowly, and the strength of the zombies is already much greater than that of ordinary people, and the number of zombies is still above them, so it is impossible to break through in a short period of time.
"Quick—"
There was a cracking sound in the air, and a tongue passed over Stanley's head, engulfing a strand of his hair.
Zheping, who was still pushing among the zombies, suddenly felt some kind of warm liquid splash on his face.
"Ahh Yes!!! ”
Horror, boundless fear welled up in Teppei's heart, and the warm liquid was accompanied by some white flower lumps, the source of which was the brains of his teammates around him.
Teppei could clearly see that the barbed tongue was tumbling back and forth in the liquid splashed in his throat, carrying half of his head and curling it back quickly.
Although the courage has been tempered, how many people can be indifferent when such a thing happens to them?
Teppei's bloodshot hands became weak, and the last teammate except Stanley was swallowed up by the zombie tide when he was stunned.
By now, they had little chance of surviving, and Teppei watched as his teammates let out a miserable wail and their formation was squeezed into the alley.
"It's over, it's still going to be over."
Teppei fell into deep despair, he had gone through the tempering of life and death, but in the end, he still ended up like this.
"Zhe, brother Zheping, from, from here, run!"
A voice pulled Teppei back from his despair, and when they were stunned, the mutant behind them would not be idle, and the terrible tongue immediately ejected like a cannonball again after licking the brains in their mouths.
The force that was enough to tear through the steel pierced Stanley's body without surprise.
However, at this most critical moment, Stanley made an unexpected move.
His sloppy beard kept shaking, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, but his two hands held the mutant's tongue and used his body to block it in front of Teppei.
"Run, run!"
Hoarse, Stanley is using his body as bait to buy Teppei time to escape.
"Uncle!"
Tears welled up in his eyes, and Teppei understood what Stanley meant almost instantly, but he never thought that this uncle who had only been with him for a few days.
An uncle who likes to brag, drink, and lie is actually willing to use his body to open the way for him.
"For example, if you can go out, remember to go to Mondstadt, tell everyone, and say ........."
Stanley......... He's a hero! ”
Stanley's abdomen was pierced, but at this moment, an unprecedented burst of power, he fearlessly rushed forward, with a bloody fist, slammed hard, the mutant's exposed brain, even if his body was torn apart by the mutant's claws, he didn't care.
Somehow, Teppei, who could have escaped at this moment, burned an unprecedented fire in his heart.
He did nothing before he came to space, and when the gods gave him this opportunity, did he still have to be like before, not to participate in the frontal battle, just to survive day after day?
No! Never!
Even if he dies here, he will have to fight with his insignificant life and fight against fate.
The flame of courage dispelled the gloom in his heart, and Teppei felt that all his limbs were filled with an inexplicable warm current, and the motivation that came from nowhere drove him to clench the spear in his hand.
"Ahh
He slammed into the mutant's head and thrust it in with all his strength.
"Shhh
The mutant was also trembling all over, and the huge force almost threw the two of them away, but neither Stanley nor Teppei, either of them had any reason to let go, but instead used a spear and a broken bone spur on their body to stir it even harder.
The zombie group behind him also chased after him, intending to snatch the fat from the mutant's mouth.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, ignoring the bite behind him, Teppei only thought about how to squeeze the last trace of strength out of his body, and .........
How to kill this guy in front of you!
Finally, just as Teppei's eyes fell into darkness again, a voice finally sounded in his head.
【Mission Accomplished】
[Achievement: Normal.] Kill a hundred zombies. (Note: Mutants are worth thirty normal zombies.) 】
[Harvest 3,000 points of "Wishing Power" and one "Source" of the Decyl level.] 】
[Return immediately.] 】
The sky swirled, and when Teppei's vision slowly recovered, a white, tranquil, sun-like ball appeared in his sight.
"Me, am I dead?"
The warm light soaked his body like a spring, and Teppei could feel that his body was slowly recovering.
Slowly moving his head, a touch of green figure lifted his spirits.
"Uncle Stanley!"
It turned out that when he killed the last mutant, the goal of surviving for seven days at the basic level was also achieved at the same time.
Although Stanley was barely able to breathe, he eventually achieved his goal and was teleported back as well.
Looking at Stanley, who had not yet woken up, Teppei only felt a warm current in his heart.
They survived.
However, while being excited, Zheping didn't realize that on the waist of the body he was repairing, at some point, a beautifully decorated orb exuding the power of the wind attribute was shining.
"A Vision of God? Interesting ........."
At this moment, above the space, a figure was looking down at everything that was happening in front of them, and the appearance of the scar-faced man was the "leader" they had encountered at the beginning.
And when the countenance on his face changed again, a familiar face appeared in front of him, it was Yao Luo.
In the world just now, everything that happened was actually an "illusion" evolved by Yao Luo.
In the entire space, only Teppei and Stanley were the participants he found from the Genshin Impact World.
But after passing the "Novice Trial", they have the right to join Yao Luo's "Infinite World", which allows Yao Luo to spend his strength to create a unique cave space for them.
Behind Yaoluo, in the starry sky, one after another was lit up, and each one of them was a participant like Zheping who survived.
And under the starry sky, the city with infinite style has also begun to operate under its own.
