Ning Su gripped the jade tightly and glanced at her, only seeing her covered in blood and filth.
He continued to walk forward among the zombies.
He walked calmly out of the zombie warehouse and stood outside another door, covering his nose with one hand and closing his eyes to smell the fresh, clean scent of the jade in his palm.
His eyelashes suddenly trembled.
A familiar hint of fresh grass scent entered his nose.
Ning Su opened his eyes and looked ahead.
The zombie faction base chosen by the Yongming Guild was an abandoned prison in this city.
Entering the prison through this test room for players, one would reach the prison gate.
The rusty iron bars of the gate were covered with deep green, nearly black vines, which spread to cover the entire wall.
The vines were dotted with tiny blood-red flowers.
One four-petaled flower stood out prominently.
Ning Su’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He suddenly remembered the day they watched the individual competition together, when he asked Ling Xiao about the difference between three-petaled and four-petaled blood flowers, and Ling Xiao’s answer.
“Four-petaled flower means I’m here.”
That day, while eating outdoor barbecue, Ning Su mentioned not seeing him in the dungeon and, upon receiving no response, his initial disappointment suddenly surged, transforming into an indescribable feeling.
After the tragic death of the previous player, all the players present were on edge and held their breath when Ning Su went in.
The Vampire, dissatisfied, said to the Human Pupa Master, “Both of us have tested him. Is it really necessary for you to test him again?”
Xue Wei glanced at him in surprise, “You’re actually speaking up for him? Does calling you ‘big brother’ make you genuinely want to protect him?”
The Vampire was about to speak but was rudely interrupted by Xue Wei. “What do you know? He is very close to the Yinhua Guild. We must thoroughly examine him to be sure.”
The Vampire didn’t want to provoke this woman, especially didn’t want to argue with her in front of people from other guilds, and didn’t want others to say that the four experts of the Yongming Guild had a fragile friendship.
He snorted, but didn’t say anything more.
Ning Su walked quietly inside, and from the window, one could see the zombies just silently watching him.
At this moment, the Vampire felt a strange sense of pride and smugness. When Ning Su walked out of the zombie warehouse, the Vampire loudly said, “See that? A pure zombie faction player!”
He was speaking to the Human Pupa Master as well as to the person who said Ning Su was a player from the Yinhua Guild.
[...]
Other players also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ning Su come out of the zombie warehouse.
This indicated that it was safe for a zombie faction player to pass through the horde of terrifying zombies.
Even so, seeing him walk out with such calmness and an air of mastery was still very impressive.
Thinking this, when they looked over again, they saw Ning Su together with two children, frantically picking flowers off the wall with sacks.
In the blink of an eye, half of the wall had been stripped bare.
“...”
Seeing Ning Su loot a supermarket before, Guo Xiao: “...”
You even won’t spare the wildflowers on the prison walls, will you?
The Vampire asked, “Who’s next?”
The Human Pupa Master pointed to the high school student who came with Ning Su. “Of course, it’s ‘her’.”
“You still don’t trust us. Ning Su has already proven it. Does ‘she’ really need to go through it again? Do even I and Guo Xiao have to do it too?” the Vampire said discontentedly.
As he was saying this, the high school student with a body full of ulcers and scabs walked over on ‘her’ own.
The Vampire was taken aback.
Other players were also stunned, carefully discussing ‘her’.
“Who is ‘she’? What’s happened to ‘her’ face?”
“There’s no such player at the base, right?”
“‘She’ doesn’t seem like a player. Non-players also need to be tested before entering. We zombie faction players are enemies with all humans in this world. Only zombies and zombie faction players can enter the zombie base.”
[I don’t understand. Why does Ning Su keep bringing ‘her’ along?]
[Me neither. I’ve checked the perspective; this person isn’t a player, ‘she’s not good-looking, and ‘she’ has no special abilities. Why?]
[Take a good look at ‘her’ eyes. Don’t you think they look familiar?]
On the other side of the door, Ning Su also saw the high school student walking towards the zombie warehouse.
He was somewhat surprised.
He knew that the high school student must know that ‘she’ was human and how terrifying zombies were to humans.
When they faced zombies on the road, ‘she’ had nervously clenched his fists.
The blood from the last player who was eaten by a group of zombies in the warehouse hadn’t even dried on the window yet.
Why did ‘she’ still walk over so resolutely?
Ning Su knew ‘she’ would be fine, but the high school student didn’t.
Knowing that ‘she’ might very well be devoured by a group of zombies until nothing was left, ‘she’ still walked over resolutely.
The high school student stopped at the door on the other side, standing there and looking at Ning Su.
After watching for dozens of seconds, ‘she’ walked towards that door.
Ning Su paused his action of picking flowers and looked over from this side of the door.
The dense mass of zombies inside blocked his view.
Ning Su stepped forward to open the door.
“Ning Su, get back!” Xue Wei shouted at him.
Ning Su stepped back. Before retreating, he saw the writhing gu insects covering the wall.
There were many high-level zombies inside, and naturally, such a wall couldn’t contain them.
What could confine or confuse them were the densely packed gu insects covering the walls.
The person inside seemed to be running, quickly crashing through zombies. In less than half a minute, ‘she’ rushed out of the zombie warehouse, covered in gu insects.
‘She’ stood in front of Ning Su, panting and staring at him intently, ‘her’ eyes bloodshot from the strain. “Why did I put a love gu on you?”
Ning Su: “...”
Ning Su: “.........”
A gust of wind blew, and the dark green leaves on the wall behind him rustled.
Immediately after, someone ran out of the abandoned prison behind him.
White hair and white clothes—who else could it be but the Gu Witch?
Ning Su: “......”
For some reason, the wind grew stronger, the leaves rustled louder, and the sky seemed to darken.
Ning Su: “......”
Ning Su had an out-of-body experience for a long while.
Continuing his out-of-body experience, Ning Su had a vacant expression.
Two children tugged at Ning Su’s clothes together.
Ning Su: “......”
“Um, the wind is too strong.” He pointed at the high school student, then at the Gu Witch. “Uh, you two talk.”
The high school student looked at the Gu Witch, and the Gu Witch looked at the high school student.
The high school student who hadn’t yet entered the Infinite Horror Game looked at the Gu Witch, who had struggled in the game for years.
The high-level player, feared by everyone in the horror world, looked at the high school student who was on the verge of death from decay just before ‘she’ entered the Infinite Horror Game.
Thanks for the update!!
