Chapter 89
"I didn't expect the Queen of Hearts to use your face."
Xu Heng was the first person to find Yi Tu. He crossed his arms, smiled slightly, and teased.
“There’s not even a hint of disobedience.”
Even though he had seen Yi Tu's true face, he still almost didn't recognize him.
After all, Judith is a beautiful woman with a sweet smile, which is very different from Yi Tu's usually cold personality.
"I heard from Gu Yongnian that the more the attributes of the player and the card match, the more the servant's face will resemble his master."
Xu Heng looked at Yi Tu's changed face, seeming to be lost in thought.
These master and servant are not just similar, they are exactly the same.
Yitu frowned slightly, and just as he opened his mouth, the other members of Nightingale team came over one after another.
Gu Yongnian led the remaining few people to where Yi Tu was. Under their feet were the Nightingale Team's logo and the numbers representing their rankings.
On the smooth and beautiful crystal floor, team icons are lighting up one by one.
Players need to stand according to the location of the icon, and when the time is up, they will be teleported into the game.
"Everyone is here. The competition will start in five minutes. Please wait for a while."
Gu Yongnian looked at his members and found that none of them were missing.
"Captain, this joint competition has a new theme. What is the gameplay like?" Meng Xian asked curiously.
"It's not clear at the moment, you'll know once you enter the game." Gu Yongnian shook his head.
Yitu looked at him and saw a strong man named Jiang Weixiao standing next to Meng Xian.
These two are also members of the Nightingale Team, but for some reason they were unable to come to Kanazawa City to train together.
After Yitu briefly greeted them, they didn't talk much, after all, they were not familiar with each other.
Ding Rong, on the other hand, had a very good relationship with the two of them, and they had been discussing and speculating whether the theme this time would be too difficult.
When they were discussing, Xu Heng would not interrupt, even though Ou Cheng stood next to him and would say a few words to him from time to time.
Xu Heng just responded in a perfunctory manner, his eyes watching Yi Tu's every move intentionally or unintentionally.
Yitu was just watching the various teams gradually gathering in the hall.
There are many circles on the crystal floor, but the closer to the central screen, the larger the circle, and the more gorgeous and magnificent the pattern, as if showing off one's status to others.
In fact, this is true. The icon of the number one ranked Demon Fang Team is right at the bottom of the screen.
The imposing domain circle was empty, and Jiang Hanyu and the others had not entered yet.
Xu Heng noticed his gaze and said:
"Don't look at it. Demon Fang members don't need to wait in the hall to enter."
Yitu was stunned, "Why?"
"It's just the privilege of being number one." Xu Heng shrugged helplessly. "Besides, the big devil Spade King hates being watched, so it's normal for them not to show up."
Yi Tu nodded. Jiang Hanyu really hated being watched by others, so his game viewing area was basically closed for a long time.
It's just that he didn't expect that the system would be so accommodating after he became number one.
Five minutes later, the linkage match officially began.
According to the rules of the linkage competition, the teams with higher rankings will enter first, and the teams with lower rankings will have to wait.
Nightingale ranked 42nd, not too far ahead nor too far behind. They had to wait until the halos of the teams in front disappeared one by one before it was their turn.
The moment the aperture lit up, Yitu felt a tremor under his feet. When he opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.
The setting sun paints the sky a brilliant orange, and beneath the orange is an even more desolate scorched earth.
This is an empty suburb, without a trace of green, only burnt dead trees and rotting, smelly animal corpses.
Flies were flying around in the air, making an annoying noise, but apart from that, there was no other sound.
The silence was eerie.
The few newcomers did not act rashly, after all, the theme name of this joint competition was related to sound.
Yitu opened the game panel, and long paragraphs of information jumped into his eyes.
It took him several minutes to finish reading it before he knew what the theme of this competition was.
The name "Silent Realm" is just a cover, this is actually a zombie-themed competition.
The game field they were in now had no other living people except the players who had just entered and the designated NPCs.
A horrific biochemical crisis occurred here, and all the residents died and mutated into undead zombies.
Due to the long absence of living people, the virus has undergone a more bizarre evolution among the zombies.
Some of them have actually evolved intelligence and grown crystal cores with powerful strength somewhere in their bodies.
When residents from other continents arrived here, more than a dozen zombie kings of varying sizes had already emerged from the vast zombie horde.
They commanded a group of zombie subordinates who had already awakened, and together with the chaotic zombies who had not yet condensed their energy cores, they established their own kingdom.
There is a strict division of territory between zombie kings, and there are constant fights and conflicts.
But when they discover that there are other living people in the silent realm, they will become extremely united and unified.
Therefore, the immigrants from other continents all turned into the living dead within just three months of arriving here.
Although they established large and small stations and shelters, and even improved and improved the protective cities left by the old residents.
But he still couldn't survive the wave after wave of zombies that were more terrifying than the last, and lost himself in them, becoming one of the same kind.
Until their arrival this time, the zombies were awakened again.
"Damn, why is the theme this time so creepy!" Meng Xian cursed.
After reading the game introduction, the others also looked unhappy.
Although no real death occurs in the crossover matches, everything that happens in the game field is extremely real, including the pain.
Ding Rong's face turned pale as soon as he thought about being bitten to death by zombies.
"There's a small station six hundred meters back."
Gu Yongnian switched his game panel to display mode so that others could see it.
At this time, the virtual game panel was pitch black, with only a small green light flashing, indicating that the nearest station was 600 meters away from their location.
"Let's go to the station first." Gu Yongnian said, "It's getting dark soon. It's not safe to stay outside."
Several people followed the instructions on the game panel and walked towards the nearest station.
There are many small stations and shelters in the Silent Realm, but each one is several kilometers apart.
Without any means of transportation, they could only walk and might encounter a group of wandering zombies at any time.
And this is just the outer ring of the realm of silence.
Yes, the Silent Realm is divided into a huge circle extending outward, and the center of the circle is the advanced protective city - Yancheng.
There are four defensive cities of the same level distributed above, below, left and right of Yancheng. The defensive cities are equipped with food, fresh water and medical equipment needed for the survival of the players.
They had to get to the five defensive cities as quickly as possible, but these five defensive cities were all in the inner circle hundreds of kilometers away.
At this moment, they are still in the outer circle of the silent area, and have not even touched the edge of the middle circle.
The sky gradually darkened, and Yitu and his companions had to quicken their pace. A foul smell wafted through the heavy air from time to time.
This is the smell of zombies. Obviously, although this place is remote, there are still zombies.
The only consolation is that these things are just a few solitary ones, not in groups.
Yitu looked around carefully. Next to a dead tree, he saw a bloody zombie lying on a branch, looking at them with its head tilted.
It didn't rush over, as if it had consciousness, just quietly looking at this group of living people with tense expressions.
Yitu couldn't help but frown and stopped.
"It saw us."
If nothing unexpected happens, the zombie did not get lost here accidentally.
Instead, he was a sentry assigned by the zombie leader to guard the area.
Now, it has found them.
Yitu didn't dare to think about what would happen that night, if this soldier went back to tip off the enemy, and the so-called station was not solid.
They would be the first team to be surrounded and eliminated by the zombie horde that night.
"It's good enough that it didn't rush up!" Ding Rong said in a low voice in confusion.
Yitu ignored him and instead looked at Ou Cheng, who also had a gloomy expression.
"Kill it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge crescent-shaped scimitar appeared in Ou Cheng's left hand.
In just a blink of an eye, the Scythe of Death was back in Ou Cheng's hand, and the blade was not stained with a trace of blood.
The zombie's head fell to the ground, and it died quickly and efficiently.
Ding Rong and the others were still in a daze. Ou Cheng had already put away his weapons and said calmly:
"Okay, let's go."
Yitu nodded. There wasn't much exchange between the two of them, but the tacit understanding between their minds was somewhat unacceptable.
Gu Yongnian stared at Yi Tu's back for a long time before he calmed down and followed him.
Six hundred meters was only a ten-minute journey, and they found three zombies along the way and killed them all.
Yitu didn't know if there were any fish that slipped through the net. If there were, then this small, shabby house in front of him really couldn't bear it.
"I had no expectations, and I was so disappointed."
Xu Heng looked at the dilapidated cabin in front of him and murmured in shock.
"Can this be considered a site? Damn it, damn it." Meng Xian wailed.
The display panel was not pointing wrong, this was indeed the nearest station here.
Gu Yongnian was also helpless. After all, their team was not ranked high, and it was impossible for them to get a good place in the competition, let alone get resources before other teams.
"Just bear with it for now, and we'll try to get into the center circle tomorrow."
After Gu Yongnian finished speaking, he opened the door of the cabin. Unexpectedly, a highly decayed, bluish-gray face suddenly appeared from behind the door.
Gu Yongnian's face changed suddenly. Before he could react, Yi Tu, who was closest to him, had already taken a step forward and stabbed the zombie's neck with a bayonet.
"I was just about to tell you, there might be something in there."
Yitu pulled out the knife, and the zombie fell to the ground with a dull sound, but his hand did not tremble at all.
Gu Yongnian's expression softened, "Thank you, I was careless."
Yitu smiled and said, "Captain, you're welcome."
When they entered the cabin, a musty smell hit them.
Although the cabin is shabby, the space is not small and eleven people can squeeze in and sleep there.
As soon as they entered the door, they searched everywhere and were lucky enough to find a box of compressed biscuits that had not yet expired and a bucket of purified water.
But if these are divided among eleven people, they can barely last for three days.
They had to go as far as they could, and not just for food reasons.
But once you cross the edge of the outer circle, you will enter the territory of the zombie group.
When the zombie tide occurs, the first line of defense to be breached is the outer circle.
Although they are not sure when and how the zombie wave will occur, it is never a bad idea to prepare for a rainy day.
Yitu and his friends simply cleaned the cabin and dusted the moldy bed, but there was no way to dry it in the sun, so they had to make do with it for one night.
Just after they settled down to rest for a while, notification messages popped up on everyone's game panel.
[Match Announcement: Congratulations to the Demon Fang Team for successfully killing the Zombie King Jin Man and obtaining an S-level Energy Core!]
[Competition Announcement: Demon Fang Captain, the Great Demon King, Spade King, used an S-class energy core to successfully open the gates of Yancheng, becoming the new city lord!]
Seeing this, Yi Tu couldn't help but be surprised. Isn't this too fast?!
