Chapter 7
Ahhh, he’s out, he’s out.
[Holy crap! Aren't zombies said to be three thousand years old? Why is he wearing this ancient aristocratic court attire?]
【Ahhh, zombies can fly! 】
[His face, his face is blue, ahhhhh, mom, save me.]
The audience in the live broadcast room were almost going crazy. Some were so scared that they hugged themselves and screamed, and some fell to the ground in fear.
The remote monitoring staff were also dumbfounded. Why was this zombie so different from the historical footage? Its stiff face had turned blue, its icy blue irises had shrunk to the size of a grain of rice. Why was he rising straight up...
"Shit, he stopped in the atrium? Should we wake up the players?" The director whose badge read A031 jumped up in fright. He always felt that there was something wrong with this zombie.
"Wait a moment." The producer rushed over and looked at the image in the holographic screen. His breathing became heavier and a hint of excitement appeared on his face. This zombie was completely different from the video footage. Could it be an evolved form?
"Attention, all departments. Do not take action and do not disturb." The producer pressed the command communication button and gave instructions to the Blue Star staff.
"He's actually, descending." The A031 director watched in disbelief as the zombie rose from the ground, soared straight into the atrium, and then slowly descended. His mind was in a state of confusion. The image of the zombie he had known and the image of the zombie he saw now collided violently in his mind.
"There's movement!" someone shouted. In one of the frames on the holographic screen, a person emerged from a tent. It was Shi Buxi.
"Zombies are coming, get up quickly." Shi Buxi stood by the guardrail on the second floor, ignoring the zombies that had slowly descended to the third floor, and shouted twice with full energy.
In an instant, strange blue eyes with bloodthirsty ferocity looked at Shi Buxi.
Shi Buxi was startled by the sight. This was the first time he had seen such a thing! He couldn't help but instinctively gave the zombie an innocent yet friendly smile. The master once said, "Don't hit someone who smiles..."
Then, his hand slipped into his sleeve...
"Thunderbolt, bang!"
“Zombies…”
The contestants who were awakened by Shi Buxi's voice came out of the tent. With the help of the lightning, they saw the zombies suspended in mid-air. Their hair stood on end and fear surged uncontrollably.
"Ah!" Someone at the scene couldn't help but scream, rushed out of the hall in panic, and ran into the heavy rain.
"What should we do?" Jian Xiaonan was also afraid, but still relatively calm, and couldn't help but ask Lu Feng beside him.
"Isn't it inevitable? If you're afraid, don't come." Lu Feng's eyes shone with excitement. He was different. Those who came to the show had a strategy of running away if they encountered a zombie, surviving until the end and claiming the prize. He came specifically for the zombies.
"You..." Only then did Jian Xiaonan realize that Lu Feng, who had been silent since the show began, actually had such a crazy side.
"Be careful." Shi Buxi saw the zombie's pupils suddenly turn red and fall down suddenly, and immediately shouted a warning.
Lu Feng and Jian Xiaonan had been on guard. When the zombies rushed towards them, they released their mental power at the same time, and the aggressive pressure stabbed the zombies. Seeing that the zombies were about to get close to them, they suddenly let out a strange cry and retreated violently.
Lu Feng immediately rushed forward and went straight for the zombie's neck.
"So amazing." Shi Buxi exclaimed in admiration as he watched the scene that looked like a martial arts movie.
"Lu Feng must have practiced physical training before, and his abilities are quite impressive." Zong Ziyu stood beside Shi Buxi, looking at his slightly excited face, and couldn't help but laugh and cry. Looking at the others, many were already pale with fear. Besides the two of them on the second floor, only Feng Shen and Cheng Sina looked better.
"Interesting, I'll go meet this zombie too." Feng Shen laughed arrogantly, turned over and jumped down from the second floor. Before Shi Buxi could cheer for him, he suddenly seemed to lose control and fell heavily to the ground with his face on the ground.
"ah!"
Whether downstairs or upstairs, all the contestants suddenly cried out in pain.
"Release the mental barrier!" Zong Ziyu shouted.
Shi Buxi had a bewildered look on his face. He first looked at Feng Shen who had fallen on the first floor, and then at the contestants upstairs and downstairs who suddenly covered their heads in pain.
what happens?
"ah!"
There was another scream of terror, and the voice was very familiar.
When Shi Buxi turned around, he saw that the zombie had gotten rid of Lu Feng's entanglement at some point, opened its big mouth, revealing two fangs, and rushed towards Jian Xiaonan, who was covering his head in pain.
This happened so quickly that neither Shi Buxi, who wanted to save people, nor the staff had time to react.
Oh no!
【Ah, help! 】
“Ouch!”
Just when the audience in the live broadcast room thought that Jian Xiaonan would be killed on the spot, a yellow light suddenly emanated from her body. The zombie that was about to stab Jian Xiaonan's neck screamed and retreated violently.
Shi Buxi seized the opportunity and jumped down from the second floor with a peach wood sword in his hand. The green Taoist robe was blown in by the strong wind from outside, making a sharp sound. He landed lightly on the ground like a flying crane spreading its wings, and then quickly stood in front of Jian Xiaonan.
I thought the zombies would attack again, but I saw his gloomy pupils glance at Shi Buyi and instantly disappeared into the darkness.
Shi Buxi immediately chased after him with a peach wood sword in hand.
"It's dangerous, don't go." Jian Xiaonan had come to his senses and shouted hurriedly.
"My driver." Shi Buyi said without looking back and ran quickly into the darkness.
【Ahhhhh, what happened just now? 】
[Oh my god, I saw Sister Nan glowing yellow. Holy shit.]
[Is it because she is a healing type? I remember her mental power is a healing type.]
[Ahhh, no one noticed that Shi Buxi just jumped from the second floor. How cool is that?]
[With that leap, whoever dares to say Shi Buyi is an ordinary person, I will be angry with him.]
[Shi Buxi, I underestimated you. ]
I'm only interested in his phrase "my driver." What does that mean?
[Ahhh, no one cares about my little Xixi? He's chasing zombies. Holy shit, chasing zombies!]
The audience in the main live broadcast room screamed wildly, not even recovering from what had just happened. The smart ones ran to Shi Buxi's live broadcast room. The camera followed Shi Buxi everywhere. Instead of asking in the main live broadcast room, it was better to go and see.
At this time, the audience in Shi Buxi's sub-live broadcast room were also screaming:
[Go back, go back, Xiao Xixi, go back quickly! ]
【Ahhh, Xiao Xixi, you were so handsome just now. 】
[Wow, that zombie is so scary. That mouth, I thought it was going to bite me.]
"Go back. It's so dark. Is he attacking you from the shadows?"
"No." Shi Buyi turned on the light of the terminal, looked around, turned around and walked back, saying, "He's gone."
The corpse aura disappeared.
By the time Shi Buxi returned to the hall, the lights were already on. Staff had already arrived. A large aircraft was parked outside the door, and they were beckoning the contestants to inspect it. Anyone found to have a faulty mental valve carrying mental power would be forced to withdraw from the competition.
"Yes, I didn't expect the zombie to suddenly send out an aggressive mental force just now." The staff was in contact with the producer of the main planet. "I just asked, Jian Xiaonan didn't have time to press the safety ring, so the electromagnetic wave failed to be sent out."
When Shi Buxi passed by the staff, he heard these words and understood why everyone suddenly covered their heads.
"Shi Buxi, do you want to go for a check-up?" the staff asked when they saw him come back.
"No need, I'm fine." Shi Buyi replied. He saw Jian Xiaonan coming down from the aircraft outside the door with an umbrella and smiled at Shi Buyi.
"When the yellow light was emitted just now, my chest felt warm." Jian Xiaonan walked up to Shi Buxi and held out her hand. It was the lucky bag that Shi Buxi had given her. "I looked inside and the yellow talisman that was originally in good condition had turned gray."
"It works," Shi Buyi said with a smile, breathing a sigh of relief. He had been worried that the amulet wouldn't work against zombies, but he hadn't expected it to work. However, this zombie felt strange to him. Was it really a zombie?
"Can I know what you do?" Jian Xiaonan asked. This talisman is not ordinary.
"I am the 85th generation disciple of the Maoshan Sect, and I study Taoism." Shi Buyi replied with a smile.
[Ah, I was wondering why Xiao Xixi's outfit looked so familiar. It turns out it's the ancient costume I've seen on TV.]
What is Maoshan?
"Let me, a researcher of ancient history, tell you that it is rumored that they can slay demons and monsters, and even call the wind and rain."
[That sounds amazing. Oh, so my little Xixi is so amazing?]
[Come on, how could that be possible? It's just ancient superstition.]
[Pfft, it's just jumping from the second floor and you're getting all this praise. If I jumped from the third floor, I'd be on equal footing with His Majesty.]
[Go away! Jian Xiaonan just said it was the talisman that saved her.]
【Hehe, maybe it’s a shill. 】
Where are the zombies? Where are the zombies?
[I regret it so much. If I had known there would be zombies tonight, I would have come to watch it.]
Amidst the clamor between the staunchly materialistic audience and those who had, after this incident, switched from watching the fun to becoming Shi Buxi fans, another wave of traffic arrived. These were people who had gone back to sleep after being woken up by loved ones, or those who had come over from Star Network. Hearing the two groups arguing, he asked what they were arguing about. After listening to the clip of Huang Fu's glow injuring the zombies, he immediately switched to a different screen to watch the replay.
At this time, StarNet airborne several hot searches:
#Zombie Evolution#
#ShiBuXi's Talisman#
#Jian Xiaonan glows yellow#
Both StarNet and the live broadcast room were very lively, but because all the contestants had turned off the sound, no matter how lively the live broadcast room was, the contestants could not hear it and had no time to pay attention to them.
After examining all sixteen participants, the staff found that Lu Feng, a 2S-level competitor, was fine. The S-level competitor suffered minor injuries due to not being able to use his mental barrier to block the zombies' massive mental attack, but he recovered quickly after receiving treatment from the therapist. The A-level competitor suffered a slightly more serious but treatable mental valve injury, and three others withdrew from the competition.
There are only thirteen contestants left, including one 2S-level, seven S-level, four A-level, and one without mental power.
Upon hearing this, the audience sighed again, wondering if this group of people could make it to zone one.
After sighing, he continued to "eavesdrop" on the conversation between Jian Xiaonan and Shi Buxi to see if he could hear the secret of the yellow light.
"A Maoshan disciple?" Jian Xiaonan was puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he recalled what Shi Buyi had said when they were chasing the zombies. "What did you mean by 'my driver'?"
"I can't drive and there are too many things. I want to catch a zombie to help me drive." Shi Buxi said seriously.
Audience/Program staff: ...Shi Buxi might have been injured in the brain by the zombies’ mental power just now, that must be it!
Everyone suppressed the urge to cry or roar, and thought the same thing.
