"Master, this... is you?"
The Underworld Mushroom said in shock.
"That's right, it's indeed me..."
Zhang Chen said, touching himself behind his back.
As expected, his entire hand passed through his body, and he couldn't interact with anything at all.
But just as Zhang Chen was about to give up, a line of text suddenly appeared before him:
[Welcome to the Apocalypse Game World!]
[This is Shui Lan Star, one thousand times the size of Earth!]
......
"This is..."
Zhang Chen was stunned. This was the same information he had seen when he first transmigrated, wasn't it?!
However, he soon figured it out.
When he reached out just now, he accidentally touched the golden data connection.
Although Zhang Chen was in a spiritual form and could not touch any physical objects or living beings, he could intercept the information from the data connection!
The golden data connection bent in Zhang Chen's hand and continued to flow into the physical Zhang Chen's body.
The physical Zhang Chen was flustered for a while and quickly calmed down.
At this time, the content transmitted by the golden data connection had also completed a general explanation and introduction of the world's situation, and it also indicated that all zombies would start moving in one minute.
Zhang Chen knew that according to his memory, he would then go to find a safe place to take refuge.
As expected, the physical Zhang Chen looked around the shops anxiously, starting to look for a shelter.
But one minute was not enough for him to search for safe houses one by one.
And as Zhang Chen's gaze fell on the shops along the street, a prompt appeared in Zhang Chen's hand:
[A normal restaurant, now abandoned...]
[A normal real estate agency, now abandoned...]
[An abandoned car, now abandoned...]
Seeing these lines of information, Zhang Chen's mind was filled with a bunch of question marks: ???
What the hell?
The prompts he saw back then were not like this at all.
If these pieces of information counted as prompts, they were completely useless.
Even if you don't say it, I know they are abandoned. Any normal person can understand that. Do you need this prompt to be so verbose?!
If only I could change this information, otherwise this information would definitely be deadly!
As Zhang Chen's thoughts moved, the golden data connection in his hand suddenly stopped flowing.
The previous prompts all remained before him, and the physical Zhang Chen's actions almost came to a standstill.
Did the flow of time slow down?
And... it seems I can modify the content of the data connection!
As Zhang Chen's thoughts changed, the prompt content in his hand also gradually changed.
[There are 27 starving zombies in the restaurant. If you rush in rashly, they will definitely feast!]
Actually, Zhang Chen didn't have time to look into the roadside restaurants at all.
He roughly glanced through the window and saw zombies inside. As for there being 27 of them, it was completely made up.
No matter how many zombies there were, was the accuracy of the data that important?!
The most important thing now was to ensure that he followed the previous path again, survived to the end, and absolutely did not die!
[There are six zombies in the supermarket, and some purified water. If you have a suitable weapon and are agile enough, you might be able to go in and fight for it!]
Zhang Chen then made up another piece of information and sent it.
There was indeed water in the supermarket, which was completely redundant.
But the focus was not on this, the focus was that there were zombies inside, and he must not go in!
Every time Zhang Chen sent a message, the external flow of time would return to normal, and then as more data was transmitted, time would become still again.
Finally, the physical Zhang Chen's gaze focused on the real estate agency!
That's right, this is correct!
Zhang Chen quickly replaced [This is an abandoned real estate agency] with [Congratulations, not only are there no zombies here, but there is also a Level 1 supply crate!].
When Zhang Chen found Tang Houde earlier and discovered that the prompts were actually given by the database, he felt something was strange.
It was normal for the database to be able to retrieve monster skills, levels, skill descriptions, and so on.
But how could the prompts know what was in the house?
Now Zhang Chen knew, the original prompts didn't know these things. The one who knew what was in the room was actually himself!
At this moment, the physical Zhang Chen picked up a riot shield and desperately ran towards the real estate agency.
Upon entering the room, he immediately used a flyer to cover the door, blocking the zombies' vision.
At that time, Zhang Chen felt that he had used all his might for this part.
However, looking back now, his speed was still a bit slow. If it were him now, he would definitely have done better.
Since Zhang Chen had nothing else to do, he simply followed the physical Zhang Chen, observing his every move from a God's perspective.
Suddenly, a scream attracted the attention of both Zhang Chens.
The back door of the real estate agency led to the interior of the residential area. At this moment, a woman was trapped on the rain shed and was screaming desperately.
The physical Zhang Chen, holding an axe and a riot shield, slowly walked to the back door of the real estate agency.
Just as he was about to push open the door, Zhang Chen quickly sent another message:
[The security door has aged. If you open it too quickly, it will make a sharp metal grinding sound!]
Good heavens, I can't let myself die.
As expected, after seeing this message, the physical Zhang Chen became much more cautious. He slowly pushed open the door, then quietly rushed out.
Zhang Chen of course remembered the plot that followed.
That was the first time he killed a zombie, something he would never forget.
Zhang Chen watched his clumsy posture fighting low-level zombies and suddenly had a bold idea!
Since this prompt was given by his spiritual self to his physical self.
Then... when his physical self followed all the steps to the canyon showdown, would he be freed?!
Because his spiritual form could not see the prompts.
This means that the prompt's mission would end at the canyon battle!
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen's mood greatly improved.
In his spiritual phase, he even found that he could change the flow of time at will.
For example, he knew what would happen next, and didn't really need prompts to appear, so Zhang Chen could accelerate the flow of time.
Of course, for the physical Zhang Chen, time still passed second by second.
And for the spiritual Zhang Chen, everything around him was like watching a video, where he could adjust the playback speed at will, and at crucial moments, he could come out and give some prompts to help himself.
And so, he accompanied the physical Zhang Chen until he found a room to rest, and then became bored again.
The physical Zhang Chen began to use the ring to trade supplies, which was when he first met Zhao Xiyue at night.
Speaking of Zhao Xiyue...
Zhang Chen's heart stirred!
Since the physical Zhang Chen no longer needed prompts, why not go and see how she was doing!
