Weird story about rules: I rely on magic to kill people

Chapter 97 Doomsday Crisis (43)

The sun finally went down.

As night falls, stars twinkle in the sky.A crescent moon rises from the other end of the mountain, casting bright moonlight onto the ground.

Xu Zhinian woke up the other four people who were still sleeping and walked to the place where supplies were placed.

After the four of them were woken up by her, they were all sleepy-eyed.

Sidney rubbed his eyes: "Oh, what time is it? Why is it already dark?"

"This time we slept..." Balu looked around in surprise. After nightfall, the watchtower was completely dark: "How long have you been sleeping? Isn't this watchtower too dark?"

After hearing what Balu said, Eliade tentatively walked to the supplies.He remembered that there were several flashlights here, and wanted to turn them on: "It's quite dark. Where can I find the flashlight?"

As soon as the words came out, Xu Zhinian didn't hesitate at all and immediately stopped him: "No!"

Eliade wondered: "Why?"

Xu Zhinian: "The flashlight is our weapon against zombies. There are only a few spare batteries. If you use it now, what will we use to deal with the zombies when they appear?"

Eliade could think of this level, but now it was really pitch black inside the watchtower.

They can't stay in this watchtower forever, they must go out.But when I walked out, I couldn't even see the stairs under my feet. Do I have to crawl downstairs?

He asked again: "But it's really dark in the watchtower now? There must be something that can illuminate it!"

"Indeed, it's a little too dark inside the watchtower!"

"Thankfully the camera lens in the live broadcast room of Kaitan Paradise has night vision function, otherwise we wouldn't be able to see Sister Xu's face clearly!"

"What an excellent, delicate face! If I couldn't see it, I would be in trouble!"

"Haha, but does Sister Xu really not light a flashlight or something?"

"Yes, the windows are originally small, so less light can pass through. There is also a long banner blocking the outside, making it even harder to see clearly..."

……

Xu Zhinian directly rejected his proposal without thinking: "It cannot be illuminated. The flashlight cannot be lit, and other lighting cannot be used."

This time, Eliade didn't ask, but Sidney became confused first.

He asked Xu Zhinian: "Why? Why can't you light a flashlight and not use other lighting? I read the copy of Monster Paradise and there are no other rules that say lighting is not allowed?"

Balu and Wentu also asked her: "Yes, why can't there be lighting?"

Xu Zhinian did not answer in a hurry. He paused before answering them: "Why? Of course it's because the light created will attract zombies."

"what?"

"Aren't zombies afraid of light?"

"How can light attract zombies?"

……

As soon as Xu Zhinian said these words, the other four people became even more confused.

Logically speaking, zombies are afraid of light. It is difficult to hide from the light. How can they come towards the light?
Light attracts zombies, it might as well attract ladybugs...

Looking at the confused expressions of the four people, Xu Zhinian only smiled softly.

She had already thought that the other four people would think this way. She couldn't think of a deeper level, and she didn't blame them.

It is an undeniable fact that zombies are photophobic.

But where is this place?
This is the countryside, a deserted place.

The zombies here originally lacked food.The faint light not only fails to scare them, but also arouses their desire to hunt.

Perhaps in the urban agglomeration, in that abandoned school, Xu Zhinian and the others would light up the lights to make the zombies fearful.But here, the zombies like Piaoping don't care about that.

Xu Zhinian looked at the other four people and told them his thoughts.

After hearing this, they all expressed shock.No one would think about the matter in that direction. The four of them looked at Xu Zhinian in shock, and finally agreed to the dark operation.

They are more worried about their lives than bright lights.They don't want to be afraid of ten thousand, but they are afraid of the worst. They don't really want to attract the desperadoes among the zombies.

They all know what desperadoes among humans look like.

Nodding angrily, several people began to pack up the supplies and prepare to leave the watchtower.

*
After packing up the supplies and weapons, several people shared their burdens and lifted them up.

Xu Zhinian walked at the front, taking the lead, and told a few people behind him: "Be careful when going down the stairs. It's really dark. Touch the railing and come down slowly."

Several people behind him nodded in silence. Xu Zhinian did not look back, and even if he did, he couldn't be seen.

Several people carefully circled down the stairs, during which Balu almost didn't fall.

Fortunately, Eliade behind him quickly put down the supplies in his hand and stretched out his arm to support him.

Seeing that Balu was safe and sound, Xu Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Be careful! When walking in the dark, the most important thing is safety!"

Several people walked up that spiral staircase in the dark for five or six minutes before reaching the bottom.

Xu Zhinian did not open the door in a hurry, but let the few people behind him hide in the dark environment for the time being.Go out and get the banner first, then come back to pick them up.

After all, it is one of the rules of the dungeon to not be directly illuminated by the moonlight.

The few people did not refuse and watched Xu Zhinian open the door of the watchtower.

Before Xu Zhinian walked out, she waved her hand and set up a magic barrier around herself.Under the barrier woven by magic light, she walked out quickly.

After reaching the two points determined by magic during the day, she waved her hand again, and a recovery magic was sent towards the long banner along her fingertips.

Suddenly, a white light flashed.

After the light completely dissipated, white smoke suddenly rose from the empty land.

Xu Zhinian put his hand into the white smoke and picked up the long banner that fell on the ground.

While the magic barrier around him was still there, Xu Zhinian walked quickly back to the watchtower.

She handed the restored long banner into the hands of four other people.

Then, several people held the banner and continued to move toward the known coordinates along the path in the suburbs.

"The moonlight outside is still so bright!"

"Do you think we will see zombies tonight?"

"Zombies? You won't see them anymore, right?"

"Haha, you are all wrong! Look behind the dark side of the watchtower, what are those two black shadows?"

"Zombies... zombies?"

……

A few people were walking slowly on the road when they suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind.

Those were not normal human footsteps, the rhythm was chaotic and slow.

Xu Zhinian looked back and saw that it was indeed two zombies.

She cursed in her heart: Damn!If I had known that the light of magic used just now would attract zombies, why not use light in the watchtower...

Balu also followed Xu Zhinian and turned his head, and saw the two zombies at a glance.

He became excited: "Zombies... zombies!"

"What?" Sidney heard this and quickly turned his head: "Holy shit! It's really a zombie!?"

Eliade quickly asked: "Then...should we run forward? Or hide in the watchtower?"

"?"
