Chapter 132 Zombie Siege (25) - Finding the Battlefield
The difficulty of this instance skyrocketed due to Si Zhong's well-reasoned speculation, becoming a dark cloud hanging over everyone's heads.
Even more shocking things were yet to come. Fang's father suddenly told Cheng Chuan something, saying that someone on their team had used a radio to contact the official survival zone.
They said their survival zone was located in the north of the city, housing approximately 100,000 people. At this point, Mr. Fang remarked on the abundance of capable individuals at the base.
Cheng Chuan strongly agreed with the other party's point of view. Indeed, the NPCs were full of talented people, and they immediately found the best battlefield for them.
Mr. Fang: "It seems like they've fenced off a huge piece of land over there, and the infrastructure is pretty good. Should we move there?"
Knowing the truth, Cheng Chuan instinctively refused: "No!"
Mr. Fang was surprised by his reaction: "W-why?"
Cheng Chuan pondered for a moment, feigning difficulty, and finally seemed to have made up his mind:
"Actually, we recently received a message that a large wave of zombies will be coming in the next few days, but the exact time is unclear."
"If you move there now, you might run into them on the way, which would be suicide. It's better to wait until this zombie horde is over before moving."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Fang was shocked: "Is this...is this information accurate? It seems the official survival zone is unaware of this."
Cheng Chuan: "That's accurate, so you need to strengthen your defenses these next few days and also develop more powerful weapons to protect yourselves."
Father Fang: "Then should I notify the official survival zone?" His uncertain tone made it sound as if Cheng Chuan was against it.
Cheng Chuan: "Notify them. If possible, notify all the nearby survival areas you can contact and urge them to take precautions as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Fang immediately went to make the contact.
Having received a hint from Si Zhong, Ning Shu and the others knew the location of the battlefield and decided to drive north to take a look.
They also brought a lot of supplies that could be used to make explosives, including the several barrels of gasoline they had previously hidden.
They even made a special trip to the city library, went inside, and looked for books that taught them how to make bombs.
At Ying Zaifu Meng's request, they also went to the steel factory. Ning Shu felt that their group's behavior was getting more and more out of control.
Upon arriving at the northern survival base, Cheng Chuan used the excuse that they had come to help from the Fang family's villa area to successfully gain the NPCs' trust.
Ning Shu, guided by the glasses, discovered that there were many players inside, and then understood why this place could develop into a base with hundreds of thousands of survivors.
After all, with the backing of the official authorities and the assistance of players' skills or items, success is easy, but this also makes the people here more dangerous.
Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan had hinted to the official base that some people should be relocated, but while the officials listened, the NPCs did not.
They all felt that those who moved out were in greater danger without the protection of official forces, and therefore refused to relocate.
It's really hard to reason with those damned fools; they can't be too blunt either, since the game doesn't allow it.
There are quite a few NPCs in the official base who know how to make bombs and set up lethal weapons, so Ning Shu and his group were setting up traps.
Meanwhile, Zaifu Meng was hiding somewhere working on her weapons, and everyone was so busy that they barely had time to breathe.
At midnight on the second-to-last day before the dungeon ended, Ning Shu received a system notification.
Current task progress:
[Task 1: Progress 100%, this task is complete.]
[Task 2: Progress 18%]
Task 3: Progress 0%
Ning Shu felt a little heartbroken. She had killed quite a few zombies during this period, but she had only completed 18%.
It wasn't that she was being lazy; the real problem was that there were just too few zombies, and she only got a handful.
In the zombie instance, the fact that you have to fight over zombies is really out of the ordinary and unexpected. The game really knows how to play.
That day, Ning Shu and his group slept until late morning. After getting up and eating, Cheng Chuan instructed Fang's father and the others to be vigilant about any activity in the next two days.
Then the group set off for the northern base, with Si Zhong going along as well, though he drove himself.
Ning Shu thought that Si Zhong was indeed a big spender, as he actually pulled out a Hummer SUV, which was known as a tank, from his spatial storage.
How many points must this have cost? Ning Shu thought about how her fist-sized space had cost her 200 points, which almost made her vomit. She instantly realized that this big shot was not only rich, but also willing to spend money.
She also noticed that this vehicle was different from the one in the desert instance, and she didn't know if it was the same vehicle with a different design or a different vehicle.
If it's the former, it's not surprising, since she can "shape" any prop she wants, and it wouldn't be difficult for the other person to "shape" a car either.
If it were a different car, she would be furious. How rich must someone be? Looking at the glittering seven-figure sum above the other person's head, she sighed at how vast the gap between people could be.
After they arrived at the location, the people from the northern base welcomed them inside. Si Zhong put away his Hummer and followed them in.
Ning Shu had met the other players in the base and felt they were fairly friendly, but she still had to be wary of them causing trouble. Cheng Chuan, on the other hand, wasn't worried about that.
He believed that those players had been here for so long, if they wanted to make a move, they would have done so long ago, instead of waiting until today.
Cheng Chuan thought about it more deeply and guessed that the players had reached some kind of agreement.
There are too many of them. No matter who has the idea, if they don't kill the other players, the number of zombies they get will definitely not be enough to reach 100,000.
Backstabbing the base not only involves facing attacks from groups of players, but also dealing with so many zombies, which is really unnecessary.
However, these situations do not apply to Si Zhong. He truly has the ability to kill all the players and harvest 100,000 zombies.
After all, there are still more than ten hours left until the last day, which is more than enough time for him to complete mission 2.
Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan exchanged a glance, both wary of Si Zhong. Si Zhong, who was walking in front of them, suddenly stopped and turned to look at them.
Ning Shu and Cheng Chuan paused for a moment and looked at each other.
Si Zhong smiled slightly, appearing very sincere: "Don't worry, I really like this instance, so I'll definitely stick with it until the time runs out." After saying that, he turned around and continued walking forward.
It's terrifying that the other party knows even what they're thinking.
If he truly has no ill intentions, that's fine. But if he goes back on his word, Ning Shu feels they won't even know how they died.
The official NPCs arranged rooms for them to rest, allocating 3 rooms to the 5 of them, giving them special treatment.
Ning Shu and his group knew that tomorrow would be a fierce battle, so they stuffed the game's compressed biscuits and other items that they had been reluctant to eat into their spatial storage or pockets.
As they tidied up, Cheng Chuan gave them instructions:
"Everyone should carry some food with them; this is expected to last a long time."
If you really can't take it anymore, find a place to hide and don't try to be strong.
The requirement to pass is simply to survive until the time runs out, not to complete task 2, understand?
Everyone nodded in agreement.
