The Last Homeland instance, Day 2 of the survival period, 7:00 AM.
With time running out, Yu Xiangnan drove to the mission location for the second time-limited task.
Throughout the journey, she silently reviewed the outrageous events of the previous night.
First, Jiang Yu and Jiang Ye are related by blood; they are either siblings. Second, the NPC that swallowed Jiang Yu whole was not an NPC, but rather the lion controlled by Jiang Ye, or some other animal. Third, although Jiang Ye and Jiang Yu have that relationship, she seems to deeply hate Jiang Yu. Fourth, whether Jiang Yu is dead is currently uncertain...
Originally, she seized the initiative to test Jiang Ye and learn more about her skills as a [Beast Tamer]. However, she didn't expect Jiang Ye to switch places with her and take her place.
Well... it's not surprising that NPCs can attack each other.
The so-called "balance" refers to players on new servers and has nothing to do with NPCs.
Jiang Ye exploited a loophole in the rules by targeting only herself as an NPC, thus preventing the system from automatically including her in the calculations, and her tasks and ratings remained completely unaffected.
Since Jiang Ye has already set her sights on her, she doesn't intend to be polite anymore. Next time they meet, she'll use [Shield] to resolve this trouble once and for all, preventing any further complications.
She wasn't a pervert to begin with, spending her days killing and setting fires for no reason and enjoying some inexplicable pleasure. But now that people are bullying her right in front of her, it would be a bit unreasonable to pretend not to see it.
While she was thinking, she arrived at the specific location of the second timed mission.
Yu Xiangnan parked the car, got out, and was greeted by a gloomy, abandoned hospital.
The hospital appeared to be about six stories high, with mottled moss covering the walls and broken windows, exuding an indescribable sense of death.
She quickly entered the hospital, headed straight for the top floor, and finally found the men's restroom at the end of the corridor.
The toilet reeked of a foul, damp stench that was nauseating. In one of the stalls, she could clearly feel a strong upward gust of air.
Looking up, she saw a large hole in the ceiling, from which air was rushing out. After hesitating for a moment, she approached the airflow, and in an instant, a powerful force lifted her up, propelling her straight into the sky like a rocket.
—【Forgotten Sky Island】—
Yu Xiangnan casually tidied his hair, which had been blown into a mess like a bird's nest by the strong wind, and then began to carefully look around.
The hidden map in this instance is actually an island floating in the air. It's surrounded by clouds and mist, and because it's so high up, the scenery below is completely obscured, leaving only an endless white expanse.
The island's scenery is bizarre, with massive metal structures intertwined with lush, strange plants whose leaves shimmer with fluorescence. The ruins are composed of some kind of unknown crystal clusters, which refract sunlight into a kaleidoscope of colors.
However, the NPCs on this island seem to be different from the brown bears we encountered in the "Tree Hole Space"; they are unfriendly NPCs.
Yu Xiangnan quickly spotted a dark figure darting through the shadows.
It is a...
A mechanical spider monster the size of a human.
Yu Xiangnan lingered on this hidden map for too long. Following the downward airflow, he slowly descended the stairs, his feet once again landing on the floor of the men's restroom on the top floor of the hospital.
She looked helplessly at the terrible surroundings, her brows furrowed.
The entrance to this hidden map is truly ingenious. Who would have thought it would be in the men's restroom on the top floor of an abandoned hospital, where you have to use airflow through a hole in the ceiling to enter and exit the hidden map?
Now she can only herd the players over like she's herding geese, and if that doesn't work, she'll just knock them out and get it over with in one go.
Why didn't she receive this treatment in the dungeon before?
Forget it, I don't want to be treated like this.
Yu Xiangnan couldn't hold back any longer when he thought about what he was going to do next.
Let's see which lucky person will get to enter the hidden dungeon...
She searched around for a long time and found that there were no players from the Water Star in this huge abandoned hospital.
There wasn't a single player in sight, not even a living person. Instead, there were a few slow-moving zombies, so hungry they were almost unable to move.
Yu Xiangnan had no choice but to go outside the hospital, intending to knock out any player he encountered and then transport them by car to the rooftop toilet of the abandoned hospital.
It focuses on providing a one-stop service.
She was driving around near the abandoned hospital when, before she even encountered any of Shui Muxing's players, she ran into a mutated zombie head-on.
The mutated zombie was enormous, as tall as two people. Its skin was a nauseating bluish-gray, taut over its protruding bones and twisted muscles, as if it might burst at any moment.
Its head was enormous and bizarrely shaped, with jagged, sharp teeth dripping foul-smelling slime from its gaping maw. Its fingernails were like black steel hooks, incredibly long, and its arms were thick and powerful, yet it appeared to have little strength.
It feels like you never exercise but have been consuming too much protein powder – very weak.
Based on this, it seems that this mutated zombie is not of the strength type, but rather of the speed type.
Of course, this is just her own guess.
When Yu Xiangnan inadvertently entered the territory of the enormous mutated zombie, a subtle and dangerous atmosphere instantly filled the air.
Yu Xiangnan didn't intend to get entangled with it, so she transformed into a zombie. Unexpectedly, when the mutated zombie saw her, it suddenly let out a low roar and charged towards her!
Although the speed was not fast, it carried a chilling sense of oppression.
"?"
Why are we fighting each other when we're both NPCs?
Yu Xiangnan reacted extremely quickly. At the critical moment, she suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the car darted into a narrow alley like an arrow.
The mutated zombie seemed to be enraged, accelerating again, and it looked like it would catch up with her in the next second.
Yu Xiangnan, however, looked quite relaxed. He stepped on the gas again and successfully distanced himself from the mutated zombie.
If someone nearby witnessed this scene, they would experience a strange illusion.
It's like having the illusion of walking your own dog.
Yu Xiangnan quickly managed to get rid of the mutated zombie.
In this zombie-infested apocalypse, the rules of survival are simple and cruel. Even among zombies, there is an invisible competition and a sense of territory.
The mutated zombie probably sensed a threat emanating from it that made it uneasy and could potentially undermine its dominance, so it launched an attack.
Yu Xiangnan's eyes lit up, and he immediately spotted a Shuimuxing player not far away who was carrying a pile of firewood and seemed to be heading towards his shelter.
Before the player could even react, she knocked him unconscious and dragged him into the car.
One VIP in the rooftop ventilated restroom.
