Chapter 79 Virus Town 1



No matter how heatedly the discussion is held on the forum, players cannot deny one fact: from the start of the survival competition to now, the seventh copy is the most difficult.

Some people can't help but worry, "Is the seventh instance a special case? Or is the official hint that the game will continue to become more difficult in the future?"

No one knows the answer.

Many people sighed, "It doesn't matter if it's a special case or it increases the difficulty. The person who didn't win in seven blind sniping attempts fell to his knees with a plop."

"I have to admit that I lost."

"I just want to know, what dungeon background will appear next? Can I guess it right once?"

Everyone was talking about it, making all kinds of guesses. However, they were not sure at all, so they just participated actively with a blind attitude.

Su Han looked at the data again, holding his chin in thought, "There are still 660,000 people..."

A day passes in a flash.

On the morning of the 8th day, Su Han entered the game cabin early and waited patiently for the new round of games to begin.

**

After logging into the game, a mechanical voice sounded, "Welcome to the 'Infinite Survival Game'. The player currently has 150 points."

"This is the 8th instance, and the mall is open for business as usual. Do you want to enter the game mall to shop?"

Su Han immediately selected "Yes". The next second, the shopping mall panel appeared. She took a closer look, but was disappointed to find that the limited-time purchase items were "54th handgun" and "universal bullets".

She already had the Desert Eagle, so there was no need to buy another firearm. The price of universal bullets was slightly higher than that of ordinary bullets, so there was no need to stock up.

After thinking about it, Su Han bought 20 bullets to bring the stock to 50 rounds, and used the rest of the points to purchase medicines.

After the purchase was completed, Su Han closed the panel.

The system asks, "Preparation is complete, do you want to enter the game now?"

Su Han chose "Yes" without hesitation. With a flash of white light, she disappeared.

**

The breeze was gentle, the weather was extremely cool, and the temperature was just right. In the distance, there was green grass and people walking around, creating a rare peaceful and tranquil scene.

Su Han looked around the environment while listening to the system's introduction, "This round is a survival game under the background of the virus. Players are requested to do their best to survive."

"Note 1: After surviving for 10 days, the player has met the clearance requirements and can ask the system to leave the dungeon at any time."

"Note 2: If the stamina value is reduced to zero and the character dies, the player will lose the qualification to compete."

"Note 3: The more days you survive, the richer the rewards for clearing the level."

“Note 4: If players complete the extreme challenge of surviving in the dungeon for 15 days, they will receive additional rewards. After 15 days, the surviving players in the dungeon will be automatically teleported out.”

"Note 5: There are 100 players and 1,900 resident NPCs in the town of H11 (the server where the player is located)."

“Note 6: The game officially begins at 9 a.m.”

"Note 7: Warning, before 9 am, players must rush to the 'Happy Square' to attend a health knowledge lecture. Those who violate this rule will be eliminated directly."

Note 7: The font is red and the content is enlarged and bolded, making it particularly eye-catching.

Su Han was slightly stunned. This was the first time that the system forcefully asked the player to do something.

"Happy Plaza?" She muttered, stopped a pedestrian to ask for directions, and then hurried over.

Three minutes later, she arrived at her destination.

There is a very conspicuous banner in the center of the square, which reads "Welcome to the Health Knowledge Promotion Lecture". There are also 100 chairs next to it, 10 rows of 10 chairs in each row, for a total of 10 rows.

Su Han looked around and found no one. So he chose a chair at the end of the last row and sat down, patiently waiting for the lecture to begin.

But after thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong and made her feel uneasy. So she couldn't help but stand up and quietly made some preparations just in case.

Soon, everything was ready. She sat back in her seat with a calm expression.

As time passed, more and more players rushed to the center of the square. Everyone had doubts in their hearts, but they had to find a place to sit down and wait and see what would happen.

When the seats were about half full, someone pulled out the chair next to Su Han and sat down without any hesitation.

"Where have you been? Why are you so late?" Su Han asked casually.

"Supermarkets are buying daily necessities." Zhong Rui raised his lips and analyzed, "In the distress dungeon, players cannot resupply in the game. In the deserted island survival dungeon, the cleanliness is temporarily disabled. In the war dungeon, there is a shortage of supplies and nowhere to resupply."

"In the desert dungeon, when walking in the desert, supplies are also scarce and there is nowhere to resupply. If you find an oasis, you can trade gold, jewelry, salt, and spices with others, but the quantity is bound to be limited."

"The last one is the gambling (arena) copy. When you live in a single room on the fourth floor, the casino does provide daily necessities for free, but they only prepare enough for one day."

"If there are no adventures, most people's daily necessities are always in a state of consumption, and the more they are used, the less they have." Speaking of this, Zhong Rui's smile became more and more intense. "How many players do you think will hoard a large amount of soap and shower gel in the first instance?"

"No matter how many people there are, it has nothing to do with me." Su Han said indifferently, "Anyway, I will try my best to survive. I will survive until others can't hold on any longer. Then I will win."

"Yes, yes, yes. You can make handmade soap, so everything you say is right." Zhong Rui was a little helpless.

Suddenly, Su Han asked, "How are you? Did you get the bazooka?"

Zhong Rui's expression was unnatural for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He sighed, looking particularly melancholy, "I think instead of pinning my hopes on the system mall, I might as well hope that my luck will burst out and trigger the 1% chance."

After the second profession is upgraded to the intermediate level, the talent skill becomes - in the dungeon, there is a 45% chance of obtaining a rocket armor-piercing shell, a 10% chance of obtaining a rocket armor-piercing shell and a rocket fragmentation shell, and a 1% chance of obtaining a precious weapon.

Zhong Rui guessed that the precious weapon was probably a rocket launcher.

"Pfft." Su Han couldn't help laughing. At first, she thought that they were both second jobs, but why was his so powerful, while hers was just a living job? Now, she has come to see it more clearly - what's the point of being powerful? It's useless if you can't use it.

"What do you think about the system forcing players to attend promotional lectures?" Zhong Rui forcibly changed the subject.

Su Han did not expose it, and said lazily, "Didn't you say the virus background? All the players gathered together to facilitate contact with the source of infection."

"Well, that's possible." Zhong Rui replied casually.

As we were talking, it was already 8:57 and most of the seats were occupied, with only a few still empty.

In front of everyone, a professor in his forties, wearing a black suit and gold-framed glasses, was organizing materials, ready to give a speech at any time.

"Hurry up!" someone urged, walking very fast.

"Why are you in such a hurry? There's still time." A person behind him paced after him, but he looked disapproving.

"If you hadn't gone to the supermarket after the pharmacy, would we have been in such a hurry?" The first person looked annoyed. "Note 7 clearly states that you must arrive before 9 o'clock and attend the promotional lecture. Those who violate the rules will be eliminated immediately!"

After struggling for so long and finally getting to this point, he doesn't want to be eliminated for such an inexplicable reason.

"How is it possible that we won't make it in time?" Someone behind him looked disapproving.

"Then you walk slowly. I have to run over first." The first person finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said half angrily and half threateningly.

Unexpectedly, his companion didn't take it seriously at all. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. I'll be there soon."

The first person was so angry that he simply ran all the way. Finally, he successfully found an empty seat and sat down before 9 o'clock.

After a while, his companion came slowly, muttering, "Look, isn't it still in time?"

He was just about to find a seat to sit down when he heard the system's mechanical voice announce, "At 9 o'clock, there are 97 players who have successfully participated in the health knowledge promotion lecture, and the remaining 3 have been eliminated."

His companion's eyes widened, and he was about to defend himself, but he found himself turning into white light.

The first person: "..."

At this moment, he felt angry and scared. He felt angry because his companion did not listen to his advice and was actually eliminated for being late. He was scared because if he had been loyal and walked slowly with his companion, he would have been eliminated now. That was too unfair!

Beside them, there were whispers, "There really is a fool who was eliminated because of being late..."

"What's even more surprising is that there's more than one fool."

"Fuck, how did someone like that survive until now? The system said to arrive before 9 o'clock, so why couldn't we arrive five or ten minutes earlier? We had to play the life and death speed game? Look, if we don't play it well, we will get ourselves killed!"

"I'm just curious, what could be more important than being eliminated that must be done now?"

“Normal people find it hard to understand.”

At this time, a professor in his forties walked up to the podium and cleared his throat. "Welcome everyone to the health knowledge promotion lecture. My last name is Chen, so you can just call me Professor Chen."

"Today we are going to talk about the prevention and control of infectious diseases."

"So-called infectious diseases..."

Su Han's mind wandered, and she had no intention of listening to the lecture. She sat on the chair, but her eyes kept looking around, looking for suspicious people. But after looking around, she found that there was nothing around, very empty, and there was nothing wrong.

Professor Chen spoke passionately at the podium, "…when infectious disease patients or pathogen carriers are found, they should be sent to the infectious disease ward of the hospital or placed in a designated location as soon as possible. In order to prevent the pathogen from spreading further, infectious disease patients should temporarily avoid contact with healthy people and take the initiative to be isolated."

Suddenly, Su Han felt that something was not right——

A town about to be hit by a virus.

Professor Chen, who happens to impart knowledge about infectious diseases.

The system stipulates that all players must attend lectures.

Is this just a coincidence? She pondered.

After an unknown amount of time, Professor Chen announced the end of the lecture.

Just then, a ball rolled to Su Han's feet.

She looked up and found that a boy of seven or eight years old was standing next to her.

Just as Su Han was about to pick up the ball and pass it over, the boy suddenly coughed heart-wrenchingly and covered his mouth with his hands. When he took his hands away, the boy's face was pale, his nails were gray, and his palms were covered with blood.

At the same time, the system's mechanical voice prompts, "A new virus has appeared in the town, and it is highly contagious. If a healthy person appears within five meters of the pathogen (patient), there is a certain chance of being infected with the virus. If a healthy person has a wound on his body, the chance of infection doubles."

“Note 1: The pathogen (patient) will have symptoms such as coughing, coughing up blood, and blackening and graying of the fingertips (as a hint).”

"Note 2: There is currently only one patient."

"Note 3: Because this is a new virus, there is no targeted drug to treat it. After being infected with the virus, the patient's physical strength will decrease by 60 per day."

Once infected with the virus, the patient's physical strength will decrease by 60 every day! The players' faces changed instantly, and their minds were full of this sentence.

Nowadays, ordinary players have never cleared the level to get extra rewards. Depending on their level, they are either about to be promoted from level 3 to level 4, or have just been promoted to level 4.

That is to say, their full physical strength is between 300 and 400. If their physical strength decreases by 60 every day, they must take drugs like crazy to survive to the 10th day, otherwise they will die within seven days.

Thinking of this, some people couldn't help it and ran away.
