Chapter 1 Wang Tanzhi's Predicament

Compared to Feng Bujue, Wang Tanzhi was having a much less leisurely time. Being a relatively simple person, he didn't overthink things after landing, heading straight for the main quest.

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

Xiao Tan was thinking that his other teammates were probably rushing there too, so he could meet up with them as long as he got to the building quickly.

Along the way, he also took down 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's fear rating was fairly well controlled, even though he was alone. It was also hard to say which was scarier, these blood wolf zombies or the ordinary zombies in movies. The key was that their movements were too slow to create a sense of impending danger. Passing by a few unthreatening monsters in broad daylight... felt almost like wandering around a convention hall.

Maybe things would change when it got dark...

Around 2:30 PM, when Feng Bujue left the "stronghold" he had created to look for people, Xiao Tan had already arrived in front of the Allerbmu Corporation building.

The building was fifty-two stories high, with a large iron letter frame on the roof – Allerbmu, making it look like the Avengers Tower, a flamboyant and arrogant feeling.

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 synopsis, this Allerbmu Corporation was undoubtedly the core organization researching the virus. Only in the hot and deep waters of the United States could such an anti-human armed group with financial resources exceeding the government and technology approaching the gods be born.

Wang Tanzhi held a baseball bat, walking slowly. The dried bloodstains on the bat indicated that the person wielding it was not soft on these monsters. In terms of fighting ability alone, Doctor Wang was not necessarily inferior to Feng Bujue. To put it bluntly, given their current character levels and physical abilities in the game, the actions they could perform were still within the scope of normal people, and the gap would not be too large.

There were no fewer than eighty or a hundred blood wolf zombies wandering in front of the building. When these monsters saw living things, 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 faster than in the sunlight, and their moving speed was close to the level of monsters in early zombie movies. Of course, compared to the zombies in some later movies that could run, jump, open doors, and even drive and use guns, these guys were still weak.

At this time, Xiao Tan was a little scared. Looking at the large group of long-haired, pale-faced cannibal corpses rushing towards him, he might not be able to kill them all even if he swung the bat until it broke.

Moreover, he also noticed a very strange thing... there wasn't even a single killed blood wolf zombie nearby. If a teammate had entered the building before him, then... he, or they, would have to pass through these monsters to get in. Even at the fastest speed, they would have to kill at least seven or eight to break through, right? But now there was not a single non-moving corpse 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, there was no need for him to rush in. He should wait outside first.

With that in mind, he decided to temporarily withdraw from this open space. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his face away, he triggered a flag, and a gatekeeper-level Boss appeared before his eyes.

Xiao Tan was facing away from the building at this time, 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 was very clear that this was not a monster that could be killed with a baseball bat.

The upper body of this monster was completely werewolf-like, covered with brown-black mane. There was no exposed skin on its face and hands, and its head was like a wolf's. The tips of its fingers were sharp claws. There were no vampire characteristics to be found on it, but there were zombie characteristics... There was a large wound on its left chest. Through this wound, one could see the inside of its torso. The problem was that what one saw looking into the hole was not organs. Behind a few ribs, one 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 its size had also broken through the limits of what a human should be.

The zombie werewolf approached with big strides, and the oppressive feeling generated by its image and aura was self-evident.

Xiao Tan's fear rating was rising rapidly, and cold sweat was pouring down. But he wasn't about to stand there and wait for death. He couldn't go in the direction of the building, and it would be a very close call to face this Boss head-on. He should run around it.

As the saying goes, panic makes people lose their way. Xiao Tan ran off to the side, and the direction he ran in was a gradually descending slope. Further ahead was the entrance to the underground parking lot. By the time he noticed it, the surrounding walls had exceeded the height that he could climb over. It seemed that continuing to run downwards was the only option for the moment.

The zombie werewolf naturally wanted to chase after him when he ran away. Fortunately, this monster wasn't a pure werewolf, and it didn't seem to be able to move on all fours. It was also chasing on two legs, so its running speed wasn't very exaggerated. But its mobility was already a world apart from the blood wolf zombies' after-dinner stroll. Xiao Tan couldn't shake it off at all.

Soon, Xiao Tan had approached the guard post of the underground parking lot. Looking at the height of the horizontal bar, it seemed that he could flip over it with a single push. 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 knapsack, wanting to take out the flashlight. At this moment, a terrible sight flashed before his eyes again. He found some moving black shadows not far behind the parking lot bar.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying scene came into view...

Xiao Tan only saw a few black shadows at first, but as he ran closer, he could see clearly. In the dark parking lot, it was packed with blood wolf zombies...

So many monsters were hiding in this place where the sun couldn't reach! Xiao Tan was surprised, but there was no time for him to digest this surprise. He could only make a choice 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 would be difficult to eliminate this zombie werewolf, but if he were to run away without regard for consumption, there were currently two ways: First, use [Quicksand of Slowness]; Second, use the special ability given to him by the title [Panicked Sneak Attacker] – [Retreating Quick Slash].

[Name: Retreating Quick Slash]

[Special Ability Type: Active]

[Consumption: 30% of Stamina Value Limit]

[Effect: Can be activated the moment a target is hit. The user immediately performs a super-high-speed movement to his rear, putting at least ten meters between himself and the target. (No cooldown time, can only be released when using a bladed melee 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 allow Xiao Tan to escape safely. It wouldn't be a problem to get rid of this monster in a minute. But the role of [Quicksand of Slowness] in this script was self-evident. This was undoubtedly a script that focused more on combat. Using this item when facing a large number of blood wolf zombies or when facing the final Boss might have a chance to turn the tables. It would be a pity to use it now.

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

The scene of Long Ge being sent flying 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's. 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 quantity factor, the strength of the monsters was conceivable.

Just as Xiao Tan was hesitating, the werewolf had approached. Seeing that it was about to pounce and bite, the monster suddenly stopped.

It turned around, completely ignoring Wang Tanzhi's existence, and looked back alertly in another direction, letting out a low growl in its throat.

Tap, tap, tap——

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

"From Hebei comes a hero, General Pan Feng is his name.

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

Pangu descended to the mortal world, and Vermilion Bird is his great name.

His unparalleled reputation is far-reaching, and he laughs lightly at heroes!"

One of the figures chanted this doggerel-level poem as he walked to the front.

This person had nothing outstanding in appearance, looking about thirty years old, with a beard. The large broadaxe he held was particularly conspicuous.

Having played this game until now, it was the first time Wang Tanzhi had seen someone use this kind of long weapon that was taller than a person. His aura was truly extraordinary, and it was not an exaggeration to call him mighty and majestic.

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

That [Thousand-Man Slayer Hua Xiong] was actually holding a long weapon as well, a spear. He looked about the same age as Pan Wushuang next to him, and his appearance was also with a circle of beard: "Brother Pan is absolutely 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 are in the late stages of chuunibyou..."
