After Zuo Yu went offline, Fang Zhao quietly dragged a wooden crate and sat in the warehouse for a minute, casually redeeming quite a few bullets with his points.
What was better than reality was that everyone in the game had a "bag." Small items could be stored inside, including magazines and food.
Fang Zhao laughed silently.
If reality could be like the game, there wouldn't have been so many deaths.
After all, a game was just a game. It wasn't the real era.
Fang Zhao knew that this was not the world he had once lived in. It was just a virtual, incomplete replica, or even the background of a game. But because it was too real, everything around him, even the smell in the air, stirred up the emotions that Fang Zhao had been suppressing for a long time. It was as if a belated storm was blowing in the depths of his soul.
He couldn't go back to that era, and he didn't want to go back. Normal people didn't want to be abused. He had spent close to a century working hard. This was a rare opportunity that others couldn't have. Of course, he had to enjoy it. This was a world that he and countless others had exchanged a century of time and lives for!
Fang Zhao didn't miss that era. He just missed the people of that era.
He took a deep breath, as if he were venting all the frustrations in his heart.
"That's right. I have to enjoy it."
However, before that, he had to find a way to vent the anger he had been suppressing for so long. Even if he acted like everyone else in the New Era, the memories of his soul were still dominated by those 100 years of hell. Even if he had used all sorts of methods to suppress it, he couldn't let it go on forever. Now he had found a way to vent. Wasn't this what he had been waiting for?
Maybe others used this game to find a way out, or maybe it was just for entertainment. Some people were looking for excitement, but Fang Zhao was different.
What had just happened was just a warm-up, but the restless factors hidden in his soul had already awakened. Fang Zhao wouldn't stop now. It was just as well that Zuo Yu wasn't around.
The excitement in Fang Zhao's eyes was quickly restrained. In the blink of an eye, it was as if Fang Zhao had blended into the warehouse. His breath was in harmony with his surroundings.
Other than the warehouse and the kitchen, there were many rooms upstairs. They were probably the workers' dormitories. Fang Zhao did not miss a single sound. He could distinguish every syllable and every instrument in a song. Similarly, he could discern the movements hidden within the cacophony of noises.
There were people in the room upstairs, but they could not be considered people, because they had already broken away from the category of normal people. During the Period of Destruction, these "people" were like mutated animals. They had lost their original consciousness and had become bloodthirsty, manic, and extremely aggressive. They would maintain this aggressive nature until their bodies could no longer provide the energy to move and they died. There was no cure.
There were infected people, and naturally, there were survivors. The survivors all developed antibodies that could resist the infection of the manic virus. In the New Era, the human body also had antibodies, and there were also relevant medical methods to defend against it. The deadly threat of the past could no longer make a comeback.
However, during the Period of Destruction, people who had been infected with the virus had also been classified as people who had to be killed.
A cold metallic glint flashed, and the malevolent-looking, bloodshot infected person collapsed. A wound had appeared on his neck. A lightning-fast blade had severed his brain stem and cut off the signal output from his brain to his body. If it had been a normal person, they would have died from this cut. These infected people did not die immediately, but they were unable to make any more aggressive movements. They could only lie there and wait for death. It was like this in the game, and it was the same during the Period of Destruction.
Fang Zhao cleared out all the rooms upstairs and then left the warehouse. Clearing out the warehouse was just to give Zu Wen and the others a safer place. When Zu Wen and the others went online, they would not have to continue clearing out the rooms upstairs.
And after that, it was time for Fang Zhao to have some fun.
Infected people, kill!
Mutated beasts, kill!
Fang Zhao was like a leopard ambushing its prey in the grasslands. Whether it was his movement and concealment skills, or his precise and rapid shooting, it would be exaggerated even in textbooks. Even many soldiers with rich battlefield experience might not be able to do this, let alone someone like Zuo Yu, who had come from the special forces.
Magazines were being used up at an alarming rate, but if one looked at his points, one could see that even though he had redeemed quite a number of magazines, his points were still increasing. Fang Zhao maintained a high efficiency in clearing out the beasts, practically one shot per target. And in Fang Zhao's status bar, besides his points, his experience points were also rising at a terrifying rate.
+10
+10
+20
+1
+5
+10
+1
+30
...
Different targets gave different experience points, but Fang Zhao did not pay attention to his experience points. All he wanted to do now was to kill to his heart's content and vent the anger he had been suppressing for a long time. And compared to experience points, he cared more about his points, because in this game, points could be used to exchange for items.
"Battle of the Century" map, south of Yanzhou District 79, inside a seven-story residential building.
Two players were holed up in a room on the second floor, looking out the window at the two mutated beasts approaching the building.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Fire! "one of them urged his companion.
"Wait a bit more, it's out of range. It's too far, a waste of bullets."
"It's getting closer, it's already discovered us!"
"Don't be anxious!"
"How can we not be anxious? It's already so close! We'll be bitten to death. "
"Don't rush me, I know!"
"They're about to jump! Quick, fire! "
"I know! I'll — "
Bang! Bang!
The two mutated beasts that were charging toward the second floor fell to the ground, never to get up again.
"..."
After a few seconds of silence.
"Those two shots weren't fired by you, right?"
"I knew it wasn't from the sound of it!"
One of them carefully craned his neck and looked all around. Not seeing anyone, he angrily pounded the wall.
"It's been robbed!"
"I told you to hurry up and fire. Look, if you were a step slower, it would have been robbed."
"Shut up!"
South of District 79, inside an office building.
A figure quietly came to the sniping spot he had his eyes on. He took out the sniper rifle he had exchanged and set it up. His cold eyes looked through the scope at the frantic figures running on the street outside the building. His finger was on the trigger.
The people in the opposite building were probably a group of students who had just entered university. Their reflexes were not strong. There were many of them, and they didn't have much experience. When they saw so many "20 million" people surrounding them, they panicked and fired randomly. They didn't kill many targets, but their own people were exposed quickly. They were probably killed and went offline, or they ran out of bullets and went offline. The gunshots from the opposite side were no longer as loud.
He had taken advantage of the chaos on the opposite side to take advantage of it. He used his points to exchange for a sniper rifle. He loved the feeling of killing his prey. Every time his prey's blood burst out, it would make his blood boil. However, as a sniper who loved shooting games, he still had the necessary qualities. He adjusted his state of mind, calmed down, and prepared to attack his target. Imagining the scene of his prey's head exploding in the next moment, a victorious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. However, this smile froze in the next moment.
With a gunshot, his prey fell to the ground, no longer moving.
He wasn't the one who fired the shot. Someone else was one step ahead of him.
He cursed under his breath. Without delay, he continued to aim at his next target. Just as he was about to make his move, his prey fell again.
"F * ck!"
A third, a fourth, a fifth …
Through the scope, he saw the "20 million" people fall one after another. One shot, one beast!
The anger of having his prey stolen gradually disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a cold chill that went straight to his head. His hair stood on end.
This was a one-sided harvest!
Who was it?!
It was definitely not those stupid students in the opposite building.
Judging from the gunshots, the opponent's position was constantly changing, but he couldn't find them at all. Only once did he see a figure flashing by quickly through the scope. That was also the only time. After that, he didn't even see a shadow. He followed the gunshots, but he couldn't find the person. Until the continuous gunshots stopped, he couldn't see a single living mutated beast!
Damn it!
South of District 79, in the lobby of a hotel on the first floor.
"Quick, quick, quick! Attention left rear! "
"Leave it to me!"
"Attention southwest!"
"I'm on guard!"
After a series of concentrated gunshots, there was no longer any threat outside.
The few of them heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, their faces lit up. They couldn't wait to check their experience and points.
"I wonder how many we killed just now."
"I think I killed at least two!"
"I'm sure I hit one. I saw quite a few fall just now."
"Me too!"
The few of them happily checked their status.
Experience: 0
"..."
"How come I'm also 0? I didn't hit anything after more than 10 shots? "They were at a loss." Who killed those outside? "
After a round of inspection, only two of the ten or so people had a pitiful 10 to 20 points. As for the others, they had earned zero points and experience points from the previous battle.
"F * ck! What the hell is going on?! "
Fiery Bird's' Battle of the Century 'official website.
"Are there any friends in District 79? I just went offline to the toilet. When I came back online, I found myself surrounded by mutated beast corpses! Can anyone tell me what happened?! "
"Same District 79. I don't know either. The number of mutated beasts we've encountered has decreased. In half an hour, we haven't encountered many. Could it be that Fiery Bird is preparing for some big move? I'm panicking! "
"Same District 79. Our side is normal."
"District 79. Normal. I heard that under normal circumstances, the number of mutated beasts is the same as the number of teams. The larger the team, the more mutated beasts. In any case, we've encountered quite a few. Your side might have fewer people, so you'll encounter fewer. "
"No! District 79 south street. This side seems to have been swept clean. The number of larger mutated beasts has decreased. The scariest thing is that most of them were killed with one shot! District 79 has an expert? "
"Same District 79 south. It wasn't easy for me to exchange my points for a big sniper. After waiting for half an hour, one finally came. I didn't even have time to take action before it was snatched!"
"Same District 79 south. Same situation! Are there any clubs that have been assigned to our district? Who knows? "
"Same District 79 …"
"Same …"
Those who had gone offline in District 79 realized that many others had encountered the same situation as them. Furthermore, they were all in District 79 south. It was rare for them to gather all their energy and prepare to go all out. Suddenly, they realized that there was no place for them to use their skills. In less than an hour, they had been swept clean!
Unfortunately, no one knew who had fired the shots. Not even a shadow had been seen!
Those who had gone offline for all sorts of reasons were now discussing in the discussion forums. In the Yanzhou region, the hot topics were dominated by a few well-known e-sports clubs. Those e-sports powerhouses had powerful lineups and had their own tactics. The commotion was not small. As long as one was in that district, there was no one who did not know, but not a single person was in District 79.
Although there were people discussing District 79, compared to the e-sports powerhouses that received a lot of attention, the buzz was much lower. But as the number of people participating in the discussion increased, the buzz also rose. Although it could not be compared to those that were hyped up by teams, it would not be squeezed out in a short time.
The number of people participating in the discussion increased. It even attracted a lot of curious people from other Yanzhou districts to join in the fun.
