Chapter 1 Playing Around

Compared to Feng Bujue, Wang Tanzhi was playing much less leisurely. As a relatively simple person, after he landed, he didn't think too much and headed straight for the main quest.

Although simple in nature, his execution was not bad. He quickly found a city map at a newsstand on the street and located the Allerbmu Corporation building.

Xiao Tan thought that the other teammates must also be heading there, so as long as he got to the building quickly, he could meet up with them.

Along the way, he also killed a lot of monsters, and the closer he got to the building indicated by the main quest, the more zombies there were.

Perhaps because it was still daylight, Xiao Tan, although alone, managed to control his fear level quite well. Compared with the ordinary zombies in movies, it was hard to say which image of these blood wolf zombies was more frightening. The key was that their movements were too slow to create a sense of impending danger. Walking past a few unthreatening monsters in broad daylight... it felt almost like strolling through a comic convention.

Maybe things would change after dark...

At around two-thirty in the afternoon, when Feng Bujue left the "base" he had created to find people, Xiao Tan had already arrived in front of the Allerbmu Corporation building.

This building was fifty-two stories high, with a large metal letter frame on the roof—Allerbmu, making it feel like the Avengers Tower, ostentatiously high-profile.

The fact that this company could put its logo directly on the roof showed that the entire building was their property. Judging from the script description, Allerbmu Corporation was undoubtedly the core institution for developing the virus. Only in the hot and troubled land of America could such an anti-human armed group with financial power exceeding the government and technology approaching the gods be bred.

Wang Tanzhi walked slowly, holding a baseball bat. The dried blood stains on the bat showed that the person wielding it was not soft on these monsters. In terms of combat ability alone, Doctor Wang might not be below Feng Bujue. Frankly speaking, with their current character level and physical abilities in the game, the actions they could make were still within the scope of normal people, and the difference would not be very large.

There were no less than eighty or a hundred blood wolf zombies wandering in front of the building. When these monsters saw a living thing, they began to gather towards it. A large area in front of Xiao Tan was covered by the shadow of the building. The movements of those blood wolf zombies were obviously a little faster than in the sun, and their moving speed was close to the level of monsters in early zombie movies. Of course, compared with some later movies where zombies could run, jump, open doors, and even drive and use guns, these guys were still too weak.

At this time, Xiao Tan was a little scared, watching that large group of hairy, white-faced, man-eating corpses surge towards him. Even if he swung the baseball bat until it broke, he might not be able to kill them all.

Moreover, he also noticed something very strange... there wasn't even a single killed blood wolf zombie nearby. If teammates had entered the building before him, then... he, or they, must have passed through these monsters when killing their way in. Even at the fastest speed, they would have had to kill at least seven or eight to break through, right? But now there wasn't a single corpse in a non-moving state in the open space in front of the building...

"Looks like I'm the first one here..." Xiao Tan muttered to himself and began to retreat. Since there were likely no teammates in the building at the moment, he didn't need to rush in. He'd wait outside for a while.

Thinking of this, he decided to temporarily evacuate this open space. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his face, he triggered a flag. A gatekeeper-level Boss appeared before his eyes.

Xiao Tan was now facing away from the building, and in the direction he was facing, about a hundred meters away in the center of the street, stood a huge black shadow about two and a half meters tall. Xiao Tan didn't know when or how this guy had appeared. But he knew very well that this was not a monster that could be killed with a baseball bat.

The upper body of this monster had completely turned into a werewolf, covered with brown-black hair. There was no exposed skin on its face and hands, and its head was that of a wolf. The tips of its fingers were sharp claws. There were no vampire characteristics on its body, but there were zombie characteristics... There was a large wound on its left chest. Through this wound, he could see the inside of its torso. The problem was that what he saw when he looked into the hole wasn't organs. Behind a few ribs, he could vaguely see a bloody human head...

This mini-Boss should be called a zombie werewolf. It really didn't have any vampire components. Perhaps because of this, it wasn't affected by the sunlight, and it had broken through the limits that humans should have in terms of size.

The zombie werewolf approached with large strides, and the sense of oppression generated by its image and aura was self-evident.

Xiao Tan's fear value was rising rapidly, and cold sweat was streaming down. But he wasn't going to just stand there and wait for death. He couldn't go in the direction of the building. Facing this Boss head-on would also be disastrous. He should just run around to the side.

As the saying goes, panic makes you lose your way. Xiao Tan ran to the side, and the direction he ran in happened to be a gradually downward slope. Further ahead was the entrance to the underground parking lot. When he noticed it, the surrounding wall had exceeded the height he could cross. It seemed that continuing to run down was the only option at the moment.

The zombie werewolf naturally chased after him when he ran away. Fortunately, this monster wasn't a pure werewolf. It didn't seem to move on all fours. It was also chasing on two legs, so its running speed wasn't too exaggerated. However, it was already a world apart from the blood wolf zombies' after-dinner stroll. Xiao Tan couldn't create any distance at all.

Soon, Xiao Tan had approached the gatehouse of the underground parking lot. Judging by the height of the horizontal bar, it seemed like he could flip over it with a little effort. This wouldn't stop him. But the problem was that he found that there were no lights in the underground parking lot ahead.

His legs were still striding hard, and his hand reached into his bag, trying to take out the flashlight. At this moment, a terrible scene flashed before his eyes again. He found some moving black shadows not far behind the parking lot gate.

Then, a terrifying picture came into view...

Xiao Tan initially only saw a few black shadows, but when he ran closer, he saw clearly that the dark parking lot was crowded with blood wolf zombies...

So many monsters were hiding in this place where the sun couldn't shine! Xiao Tan was surprised, but there was no time for him to digest this surprise. He could only choose between the dense blood wolf zombies and a powerful zombie werewolf. Of course, in the current situation, rushing into that darkness would definitely be torn into pieces and eaten, so he had to turn back and face this mini-Boss.

With Xiao Tan's strength, it was difficult to eliminate this zombie werewolf, but if he wanted to escape regardless of the cost, there were currently two ways: first, use 【Slow Quicksand】; second, use the special ability granted to him by the title 【Panicked Attacker】—【Evasive Quick Slash】.

【Name: Evasive Quick Slash】

【Special Ability Type: Active】

【Consumption: 30% of Stamina Value Limit】

【Effect: Can be activated the moment you hit the target. The user immediately performs a super-high-speed movement towards his rear, creating a distance of at least ten meters from the target. (No cooldown time, can only be released when using a bladed cold weapon)】

【Note: I jumped out again! I stood back again! I jumped out again... How about it? Hit me, you idiot!】

The first method should be able to get Xiao Tan out of danger more safely. It would be no problem to get rid of this monster in one minute. But the role of 【Slow Quicksand】 in this script was self-evident. This was undoubtedly a script that focused more on combat. When facing a large number of blood wolf zombies besieging him, or when facing the final Boss, using this item might be able to turn the tide. It would be a pity to use it now.

And the second method was quite risky. To use this skill to escape, he would have to instantly get behind the zombie werewolf, or at least put himself in a state facing away from the uphill, and he would have to successfully cut the other party's body.

The scene of Long Ge being blasted away by the enhanced blood corpse's slap last night was still vivid in his mind. Xiao Tan didn't think that the strength of the zombie werewolf in front of him was worse than that monster. Just taking the level as an example, the average level of players in this script was almost twice as high as that one. Leaving aside the number of factors, the strength of the monsters could be imagined.

Just as Xiao Tan hesitated, the werewolf had approached him, and he was about to pounce and bite. Suddenly, the monster stopped.

It turned around, completely ignoring Wang Tanzhi's existence, and looked back warily in another direction, emitting a low growl from its throat.

Tap, tap, tap—

The sound of metal heavy boots stepping on the ground came, and two elongated figures walked down the slope. Because they were backlit, Xiao Tan couldn't see the faces of the two people clearly for a while, but judging from the monster's reaction, these two people were likely players or some kind of NPC hostile to it.

"Hebei has heroes, and the general's name is Pan Feng.

With the ambition of the universe in his heart, and a million soldiers hidden in his belly.

Pangu was born into the mortal world, and the Vermillion Bird is a great name.

The unparalleled prestige is far away, a smile despises heroes!"

One of the figures walked to the front, chanting this doggerel-level poem.

This person's appearance was nothing special. He looked about thirty years old with a beard. The broadsword in his hand was exceptionally conspicuous.

Having played this game until now, this was the first time Wang Tanzhi had seen someone use such a long weapon that was taller than a person. The momentum was really extraordinary, and it was no exaggeration to call him mighty and majestic.

"Little brother, don't be afraid!" The one who spoke, naturally, was the brother nicknamed 【Unparalleled General Pan Feng】, "With Hua and I here, you'll be fine."

The 【Thousand-Man Slayer Hua Xiong】 actually held a long-handled weapon in his hand, which was clearly a spear. He looked about the same age as Pan Wushuang next to him, and his appearance also had a ring of beard: "Brother Pan is right, little brother, you just wait. This kind of monster is not to be feared. I will take its life as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs..."

At this moment, Wang Tanzhi's only thought was: "These two uncles have late-stage chuunibyou..."
