Chapter 136 Zombie Siege (29) - Accidental Killing
Si Zhong sat on the dragon's head and headed towards the base.
As I passed a window of a building, I suddenly sensed danger.
He dodged the first attack by sidestepping, but was met with the second.
He instinctively flung an icicle in the direction of the approaching danger, and then saw a terrified face—it was that little potato.
The other person's expression was more surprised than frightened, as if they hadn't expected him to appear. Even the icicles that pierced her body couldn't dispel her surprise.
Si Zhong instantly realized that the other party probably thought he was a zombie and attacked reflexively.
As a result... he was torn apart by five horses.
This was the first time Si Zhong had "died" at the hands of a player. He had never fought Little Potato before and did not know that her talent skills were so fierce. He sensed the danger but could not avoid it.
His teleportation item was still on cooldown and unusable, so he took the attack head-on and then "died".
Before he died, he remembered the little potato's face...
Ning Shu was resting in this building when she suddenly heard a noise outside the window.
During her time in hiding, zombies would often crawl in through the door or windows to attack her, so she was particularly sensitive to these noises.
Because the zombies were so powerful, she didn't dare to gamble, so she would act as soon as there was any movement.
In this way, she successfully avoided danger several times, and many zombies were instantly killed as soon as they appeared.
Upon hearing the noise outside the window, she instinctively unleashed several deadly attacks.
This is her conditioned reflex; she's afraid one strike won't be enough to kill her opponent, so she always starts with two strikes.
But when the other person appeared before her, she was very surprised, extremely surprised.
Who the hell would have thought that instead of zombies, players would appear, and that big spender at that!
As she watched as the other person hurled an icicle at her, she was completely stunned and forgot to dodge the danger until the icicle pierced her body.
After seeing the other person shattered into pieces, she also collapsed.
Ning Shu thought she was going to die, but she found that she only felt some pain. When she looked down, the icicles had disappeared and the wound on her chest was gradually healing.
She remembered that the scarab beetle prop she was wearing had worked; she hadn't gotten what she was supposed to get.
She survived a near-death experience, but she actually managed to kill a whale (a player who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases)! Killed him!!
She was very agitated, her mind filled with the question, "What should I do?"
She remembered and realized it wouldn't work; although the scarab beetle prop had saved her life, she would have to lie down wherever she fell.
Scarab tools are useful but not widely used because they have side effects.
She simply lay down, now immersed in the sorrow of losing the big boss.
As the dungeon was nearing its end, Ning Shu finally came to her senses. She was already dead; what could she do? She couldn't revive anyone else.
Moreover, the other party also killed her once, but she had a prop and an extra life, so she couldn't erase the fact that the other party killed her.
They had essentially fought to a draw, with neither owing the other anything.
That's right, that's exactly it.
Ning Shu convinced herself to let everything go with the wind, for one must still move forward.
As soon as the instance ended, Ning Shu heard the system notification.
Current task progress:
[Task 1: Progress 100%, this task is complete.]
[Task 2: Progress 38%, statistics as of 24 hours before the end of the instance, not completed.]
[Task 3: Progress 100%, this task is complete.]
Seeing the status of Task 2, Ning Shu broke out in a cold sweat.
Last night—no, the night before—they missed the midnight progress bar notification in order to conserve their energy for the final day.
Unexpectedly, the deadline was the second to last day. Their previous guess that they could make up the remaining quantity on the last day turned out to be a dead end.
So this instance has quest 2 set up to drain the player's energy. How insidious!
[Congratulations to player "Strong Man Doesn't Wash His Feet" for clearing the "Zombie Siege" fixed dungeon.]
[The player is about to leave the instance. Points will be calculated after the player leaves the instance.]
[Your ranking in the top 10% of players at the same time has been achieved. You have earned 50 points.]
[Please select the reward item you wish to receive: 1. A cute zombie (005). 2. *** 3. ***]
When Ning Shu received the message that the dungeon was cleared, her mind was filled with the look Si Zhongga gave her before he died, and the sinister mission message.
This caused her to lose focus on the reward items, and inexplicably, she clicked on the first option and even confirmed it.
[Do you want to select this item as a personal item?]
Ning Shu paused for a moment. Had she not seen enough zombies or what? Did she want to use them as personal props? Was she crazy?
I decisively clicked "No," and then I heard a "ding" sound in my ear.
Player information is displayed as follows:
[Player nickname: Strong Man Doesn't Wash Feet]
[Skill: Sky-Splitting Strike]
Points: 246
[Game Level: L2]
[Overall Ability: C3]
[Personal Items: 1. Sharp blade (3001); 2. A pair of couple bracelets (207); 3. Ordinary glasses (138); 4. Beautiful scarab beetle ornament (1130)]
[Warehouse Items: 1. A cute zombie (005)]
[Player information displayed. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience!]
Looking at the "cute zombie (005)" lying in the list, Ning Shu thought that maybe it wasn't so bad after all, and maybe it really was a cute one...
When she clicked to see the image of the other person, she felt that even that face lying on her game panel was an eyesore.
It's no different from a rotting corpse lying in a phone's photo album. What is she expecting?
After this dungeon run, both his game level and overall abilities increased, but unfortunately Ning Shu didn't pay attention to this.
After exiting the instance, Ning Shu saw Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi looking at her with worried expressions, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Wu Yi spoke first: "Sister Ning, you've cleared the level? You didn't show up for so long, you scared us to death."
Cheng Chuan added, "We were all worried when we didn't see you in the dungeon. After the dungeon ended, we came out, but you hadn't come out for so long, so we were a little worried."
After the dungeon ends, there is a section where you choose items, so the time it takes for each person to return to the safe zone will vary.
Even if a player dies in a dungeon, they will only reappear after the dungeon ends.
There seems to be no pattern to whether this time is early or late, so you can't judge whether a player has died based on how long it takes for them to appear.
Ning Shu seemed a little distracted at this moment: "I'm fine, where are we going now?"
Although she felt she had figured things out, it was still hard for her to stop thinking about what had happened to others.
Seeing that her face was pale, Cheng Chuan suggested, "I chose an off-road vehicle as the prop this time. Why don't we rest in the car and think about it later?"
The convenience of the prop cart is that it doesn't require any storage space; you can simply take it in and out from the game panel.
