Showbiz Escape

Chapter 9 City of Zombies 09
When Ye Lingchuan and Wen Zhuo opened the two boxes in the dark room, they found that the boxes contained inflatable rubber boats and aluminum alloy oars.

In addition, there is a slender metal key.

Wen Zhuo took the key and went to the door to try it out, and finally came to a definite conclusion: "It is the key to open this door. Since we have been given the rubber boat, it should be that we need to go by water inside."

Zhao Meitong walked around the box with disbelief on his face: "There is an air pump, that is to say, we have to inflate the rubber boat and then go out to row in the water?"

"almost."

"That's too outrageous!"

Compared to her complaints, the other two were absolutely action-oriented. In order to avoid encountering zombies as soon as they opened the door, they did not use the key for the time being, but chose to charge the rubber boat first.

Ye Lingchuan was pumping up the rubber boat, and Wen Zhuo was assembling the aluminum alloy oars. Seeing this, Zhao Meitong felt embarrassed to watch, so she went to pack her backpack and took out two bags of biscuits and mineral water.

"Are you two hungry? This is the dry food I packed in the supermarket."

Wen Zhuo took the mineral water, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to her: "Do you need to add calories and sugar?"

"God, you still want to bring chocolate?"

"It's just a little habit."

After all, I have been a bounty hunter for a long time, and I have met all kinds of customers. Among them, there are naturally some coquettish people who complain that they have low blood sugar and must eat pure dark chocolate to continue their actions, regardless of gender.

Therefore, whenever he sees chocolate, Wen Zhuo never forgets to pack two pieces, just in case.

It took about 20 minutes for Ye Lingchuan to inflate the rubber boat. He looked at it for a moment, thoughtful.

"It's a four-person boat."

Even if Li Qin is still alive, he can sit comfortably.

Zhao Meitong was curious: "Then what if more than one team finds this place? If we row the rubber boat away, will the players behind be counted as a direct mission failure?"

"No, generally speaking, the key clues and props of the system will be refreshed as appropriate. As long as the rules are followed, players will be given the opportunity to clear the level regardless of their sequence."

Take this game as an example, they act fast, get the key and the rubber boat first, then after they leave the target position and enter the next stage of the task, the props will be refreshed, so that the later players will not be helpless.

Zhao Meitong was very worried: "Can you two know how to row a boat? I can't handle this thing. It's easy to put everyone in the ditch later."

Regarding this, Ye Lingchuan and Wen Zhuo were quite modest.

"A little bit, but not proficient."

"I used to swipe when I was in school, and it is still no problem to control the direction."

"That's great." Zhao Meitong didn't care if they were modest or not, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Then it all depends on you two."

"But what if there are zombies in the water?" Wen Zhuo reminded her with a half-smile, "Tong Tong, can you hold out if you shoot to stop it alone?"

"..."

Isn't that what you want to think about?I spent 200 million to invite you, can't you paddle with your left hand and shoot with your right?Give away your title of Ace of Hearts!
But to complain, Zhao Meitong didn't dare to really contradict Wen Zhuo, she was not stupid, she knew that bounty hunters who could reach the Ace of Hearts would not be short of money, and they could really give up the final payment to send themselves to death, It is better not to intensify internal conflicts.

So she replied with an awkward smile: "Okay, I will try to hold on for as long as possible."

……

There were two ropes tied to the rubber boat, and it could theoretically be towed away. As for why it was towed away, when the three of Wen Zhuo opened the door with the key, they had the answer.

The outside seems to be a huge underground factory, with multiple pipes protruding from all directions and metal stairs built vertically and horizontally, forming a large interlaced labyrinth from top to bottom.

The maze resembles a natural cage, with countless zombies passing through it, and the turbulent water below, like the underground river only found in the theme of tomb robbery, I don't know where it will extend.

Apparently, they had to drag the rubber boat through the maze, and then row down the current to find the location of the laboratory.

"Damn it." Zhao Meitong couldn't help swearing, "Who designed these perverted scenes and perverted mechanisms? How can a normal person get by?!"

Wen Zhuo said, "It's still possible, as long as we take the shortest route."

"How to take the shortest route?"

"Here." She calmly pointed to the other side of the door, "If you are willing to take a closer look, you will find a map of the maze drawn on this door."

"..."

Zhao Meitong suspected that she was mocking herself, but there was no evidence.

Rather than saying that there is a map drawn on the door, it is better to say that the map is engraved on the door. With the dim light, you need to adjust the angle repeatedly to see it clearly.

Since there is more than one route to get out of the maze, Ye Lingchuan and Wen Jue each have their own ideas. The two discussed in low voices for a while, and finally decided to take Wen Zhuo's suggestion based on the distribution of zombies in the scene.

Ye Lingchuan simulated it on the map with his fingers, and confirmed to Wen Zhuo in a low voice: "That's right?"

Wen Zhuo nodded slightly: "That's right."

At this time, Zhao Meitong objected again: "After all, there is a difference between the map and the actual battle. Can you two remember the route just by looking at it?"

Wen Zhuo glanced at her secretly, his eyes were obviously wondering why she asked such a mentally retarded question, but in order to maintain a weak personality, he still answered with a smile.

"Don't worry, Tongtong, although my combat value is not very high, my memory is not bad, and I also have a little talent in recognizing the way."

"……oh oh."

Some people talk about a little talent, but in fact, the talent value is fully filled.

This is probably the difference between a master and a rookie.

Ye Lingchuan looked sideways at Wen Zhuo, with an admiring expression: "Don't underestimate yourself, in fact, in terms of courage and strength, you are already stronger than many players."

"I can't afford this kind of praise." Wen Zhuo waved his hands embarrassingly, "I'm going to start exercising after clearing the level this time, and strive to make a qualitative leap in the next game."

Do you still want to make a qualitative leap?Your kick almost crushed the zombie's skull, where else can you leap to?
Originally, Zhao Meitong only thought about it in his heart, but somehow he read out his inner monologue.

"How else are you going to leap?"

"On the premise of knowing your own weaknesses, you should work harder. It is better to have a goal than nothing." Wen Zhuo gave her a warning look, and stroked the wrinkled collar for her, "Are you right? Tongtong?"

"...Yes, you are right."

"Then quickly grab your chainsaw, we're ready to go."

******
The rubber boat was about tens of kilograms in weight. After a brief discussion, Ye Lingchuan tied the rope around his waist and planned to drag the rubber boat forward.

In this way, the three of them can free their hands to deal with the zombies blocking the way.

The moment the iron door behind him slammed shut, all the zombies in the underground factory focused their attention on this place.

Compared with the zombies outside, this group of zombies can hardly see any "human" characteristics. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are skeletons in ragged clothes. There are only a few pieces of rotten flesh clinging tenaciously to their faces. , the blood flowed horizontally, it was the kind of nausea that even a close-up shot of a movie could not capture.

It is conceivable that they are uglier, but their attack power is also stronger.

However, one thing that is slightly beneficial to the player is that this group of zombies seems to be only able to wander within a fixed range. They move back and forth mechanically, and cannot attack freely out of range.

This means that as long as the player determines the route to advance, he only needs to fight against the zombies distributed on the established route, without worrying about the rest of the zombies suddenly rushing to besiege.

Fortunately, otherwise it would be really tricky.

When stepping on the first metal steps, Zhao Meitong looked at the group of skeleton zombies above, and felt her heart was beating hard, and she was so nervous that she was almost out of breath, she subconsciously grabbed Wen Zhuo's clothes.

The selection criteria for bounty hunters must be very strict, right?Are they not afraid at all?Take the person in front of me as an example, how much psychological quality does it take to face such a perverted scene without even blinking an eye?

Even if you fail to pass the level and you won't die in reality, the death you experience halfway is also real, and the pain of being skinned and boned is real!

Sensing the fear conveyed by the other party, Wen Zhuo, who was observing the terrain, freed up a hand, and patted the back of Zhao Meitong's hand comfortingly.

She can also understand that when she first accepted the system test, she also had infinite anxiety and worries in the face of those weird levels.

All people who are bound to the system have to go through this process more or less. The difference is that some people can adapt as soon as possible, and some people may not be able to adapt after losing a complete defeat.

Then it depends on fate.

She reminded in a low voice: "Remember, shoot the zombies who are far away, and use a chainsaw when they are close-do you want to survive? Don't hesitate if you want to survive."

Zhao Meitong nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

"Just think of it as a VR game, cut their heads as you usually do when you cut watermelons, anyway, the juice will not flow too much."

"..."

Thank you Ace of Hearts. Fortunately, I will lose my memory after playing the game. Otherwise, I will have a mental block when I eat watermelon in the future.

Ye Lingchuan heard Ye Lingchuan say: "Miss Wen, I will go ahead later, you just need to follow me closely and shoot when it's time to shoot, remember not to fall behind, I will try my best to clear as many obstacles as possible for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, but... aren't you afraid?"

"Of course I'm afraid." Ye Lingchuan sighed symbolically, and lied in the most sincere tone, "But like you said, if you know your own weaknesses, you should work hard to overcome them, not to mention that protecting your companions is also my responsibility. "

That's great. Not only is he handsome, but he is also a brave and responsible man.

Such a lovely man, it's hard to tolerate if he doesn't pass the customs.

There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of Wen Zhuo's lips, she clenched the gun tightly in her hand, and agreed softly.

"Okay, we will definitely follow you closely and work hard together."
