Yu Xiangnan looked around to make sure there were no zombies roaming nearby, then quickly ran to a patch of greenery covered in mud by the roadside. She then began digging with her shovel.
Soon, a pit large enough to hold the corpse gradually took shape.
She dragged the zombie's body into the pit and covered it with soil.
The whole process was completed in one go.
It's easy to see that they are already quite skilled.
[Note]: Maximum Health +480 (Player detected as an NPC; the "Rest in Peace" skill has a daily limit of 3 activations).
It actually works?!
Yu Xiangnan's pupils suddenly dilated.
However, the daily limit is three times, so that's twenty-one times in seven days. A trip to Water Dusk Star can increase your maximum health and energy by several thousand, which seems barely acceptable.
At this moment, the roars of zombies in the distance grew closer, and their numbers increased.
She turned and ran.
Halfway there, they were suddenly teleported back into the void.
A mechanical voice sounded in my ear: [Test complete. No abnormalities found. This instance will officially open in one hour. Please select your unique appearance.]
But in an instant, a strange feeling surged into my heart like a tide.
Yu Xiangnan's body reacted instinctively, taking two steps back.
The ground began to tremble violently without warning, and then, in a jaw-dropping way, a large arcade machine suddenly burst out of the ground!
Holding the small broken shovel, she took two steps back again, and only stepped forward after confirming that there was no movement.
Upon closer inspection.
The game console's casing appears to be made of some special metal, and its color is a vibrant classic red. The front features a square screen surrounded by a ring of flashing colored lights, below which are neatly arranged control buttons and a circular joystick.
As if sensing Yu Xiangnan's approach, the square screen began to flicker, accompanied by a slight buzzing sound.
The next instant, an image suddenly appeared on the screen.
A small, cute pixelated character appears in the center of the screen, while a cheerful and lively tune plays from the arcade machine.
Yu Xiangnan blinked, looking at the pixelated figure on the screen.
Why does it look so familiar?
Upon closer inspection, I realized that the pixelated character's hairstyle and clothing were almost identical to mine, and it was even holding a shovel.
The pixelated character's head displays the message: "[Please select your own unique appearance]".
Seeing this, she pressed the left and right control buttons.
The moment the button was pressed, the pixelated figure on the square screen changed its appearance.
It became...
A pig with an irritating expression (?????).
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
She pressed the left and right control buttons again, and the pixelated pig on the square screen transformed into a toy rabbit, a mosquito, a cat, a cow, a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a cockroach, a butterfly, a mosquito, an elephant...
No, what kind of weird images are these?
Does anyone actually choose cockroaches?
Choosing these NPC images can indeed obstruct the view, but the little shovel becomes unusable... You have to choose an NPC image with a hand that can hold the little shovel, otherwise the little shovel will be useless.
She looked around, and suddenly her eyes lit up.
Without much hesitation, she chose her NPC persona—a zombie.
After selecting your NPC appearance, a prompt about the NPC appearance will pop up:
* When there are players within a 20-meter radius, the system will automatically detect and transform you into an NPC; if there are no players nearby, you can choose whether or not to transform into an NPC.
Hmm... So, if there are no players within her radius, she can switch freely between "normal person" and "zombie" without any cooldown time?
That's basically like this: Hey, I mutated, I'm fine again, I mutated again, I'm fine again, I mutated yet again...
It seems like he has suddenly fallen seriously ill.
Yu Xiangnan rubbed his forehead.
[Countdown begins, 3, 2, 1...]
[Game officially begins! Randomly selecting dungeons...]
[Yu Xiangnan (ID: H00), Dungeon: "The Last Homeland"; Number of Players: [Number]; Preparation Period: 5 hours; Survival Period: 15 days.]
As soon as Yu Xiangnan opened her eyes, the intense sunlight pierced her like needles, and she instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes.
Looking around, I found myself standing on a zebra crossing at an intersection, with a smooth asphalt road beneath my feet.
The sky was a clear blue without a single cloud, the glass curtain walls of the tall buildings along the street reflected dazzling light, and a constant stream of vehicles shuttled through the roads; everything seemed perfectly normal.
We are now in the "preparation period".
The blood rain will arrive in five hours.
In other words, the previous situation seemed to be just a simulation test for subsequent natural disasters to check for vulnerabilities. Now, the survival instance has officially begun.
Five hours for preparation is a delicate balance; it's not long, but it's not short either—just enough time for people to frantically make some preparations.
Surprisingly, their "survival period" was only fifteen days. However, upon closer examination, it doesn't seem so difficult to understand. After all, in the apocalypse, facing various dangers and problems every day, the number of survivors decreases exponentially. Being able to last fifteen days is probably already quite an achievement.
In addition, the number of players in this instance is... So, there are three NPCs in this instance?
Yu Xiangnan swiped out the panel and examined it carefully. He found that the previously exclusive features for players, such as the [Personal Information Panel] and [Map], had all disappeared. In their place was a feature called [NPC Task List], next to which was an [NPC Rules].
There were no time-limited tasks available at the moment, so she made a quick decision, grabbed a small, broken shovel, and dug a hole in the ground in no time.
The luck stacking effect then enters a cooldown phase.
Given that NPCs do not experience thirst or hunger, and that the impending natural disaster is a zombie attack, there seems to be no urgency or necessity to prepare supplies.
She now had to stay away from the players, keeping a distance of at least twenty meters from them; otherwise, with everyone around her normal, her sudden transformation into a zombie would be too conspicuous.
About an hour later, the cold, mechanical sound rang out in my ears without warning.
[Attention players, the supply crates have now respawned. Just to reiterate, the supply crates have now respawned.]
The "Supply Box" contains a wide variety of cards, with random quantities and star ratings. It's a first-come, first-served system; once a player has acquired a card, the "Supply Box" will automatically disappear.
