When Yu Lu came down from the second floor, Luo Di had just finished adjusting and stood up.

"We were lucky; we can see the outline of the supermarket from the second-floor window, which is about a kilometer away from us."

There are villa units along the way that we got yesterday, and it should take about five transfers to get there. We should be among the first to arrive at the supermarket.

Ready to go! I believe Luo Di, you can still hold on.

"Miss Yu Lu, is the supermarket this way?" Luo Di pointed in a direction.

"It's not there, at least the outline of the supermarket I saw was this way." Yu Lu's location was completely different from the direction Luo Di pointed out. "How did you get this location? Did you see something?"

"Some strange feeling... You know, I'm currently collecting monster corpses as materials for the door. Generally, only the corpses of monsters that I personally kill are materialized and collected in the Pituitary Space."

Having fought my way here, my Pituitary Space has actually collected a small portion of zombie arms.

If I continue killing zombies, I estimate I can collect even more, and perhaps even complete a zombie corpse for building a door.

Because of the physical manifestation of this arm in the Pituitary Space, I had a premonition that a zombie apocalypse was hidden deep within this neighborhood.

After rubbing her tongue in her mouth for a while Yu Lu said, "If you're using monster corpses as building materials, then it's easy to understand. Because these zombies all come from the infection of the first-generation zombie, Jia Wen."

Killing one of them can be considered, to some extent, killing part of Jia Wen, even if it's a very small part, it still counts in essence.

As you increase your kill count, you can gradually collect and complete the set until it forms a whole.

This method of collection might allow you to sense the source of the zombies, or perhaps Jia Wen is actually there.

"If we find the source, can Miss Yu Lu kill Jia Wen?"

Yu Lu suddenly gave him a strange look:

"I'll hit Jia Wen?"

Don't overthink it. Not to mention that he has been in the corner for much longer than me, his plant maturity and strength are above mine, and he may even be comparable to my Grandmother.

Despite being just Mr. Question Mark's servant, he is fully capable of developing his own power in the shadows.

Although I long to die, I still have things to do in the sorority, so I don't want to die yet.

Once I've done everything I want to do, I will naturally commit suicide and die.

So let's follow the normal procedure and go to the supermarket.

Luo Di seemed a bit strange at the moment, continuing to dwell on the question, "I have a feeling that if we find the root cause, we can clear the game ahead of time, and even get extra rewards."

Do you remember what Mr. Question Mark said before the challenge began?

Those who perform exceptionally well in the second stage will receive Skip Pass.

Being able to skip a major level directly, even though this is my first time playing this game, I can deduce that the card is extremely valuable.

If we simply follow the normal procedure to pass the second level, even if we eliminate many people inside the supermarket, it will only be a slightly better performance than the average.

If we can find the source of the zombies and cut off the root of the danger in this game, the outcome will be completely different.

Mr. Question Mark, being a gaming expert, should naturally favor game designs with multiple endings and branching paths. He should also hope to see players discover different ways to complete the game.

Yu Lu's expression changed. "If you want to die, I can hang yourself right now. There's no need for all this trouble."

Without food supplies, and given my lack of skill in physical group killing, even if we do find the root cause, we'll be essentially starving and have no chance of survival.

"I was only sent here by my Grandmother to assist you, not to die."

"Miss Yu Lu, what if someone helps us?"

Yu Lu suddenly sensed something and abruptly turned her head to look at the corner of the villa. Two women, one tall and one short, emerged from the shadows.

Despite different hair color, skin tone, and movements...

But Yu Lu always felt that the two were very similar, and the size of the ropes needed for hanging were exactly the same.

She instantly became alert, and her hair even started to float.

The Black-Haired Woman showed no fear of death, smiling as she stepped forward, even though there were already marks on her neck from the strangulation.

"Sister Yu, I've heard of your great name for a long time—the executioner of the sorority, the spokesperson for death. I never imagined that Grandmother would arrange for someone like you to personally accompany Luo Di. I've been observing you all along."

I am so grateful to you for taking such good care of my son, Luo Di.

I roughly guessed the root cause.

The reason my Grandmother arranged for you to do this was not because she didn't trust Hua Yuan's abilities, but because she wanted you to use Luo Di as a starting point to investigate me.

If there's anything you want to know, just ask me, and I'll tell you.

"As long as my Luo Di gets what he wants, that's fine."

The Black-Haired Woman came to Luo Di's side and gently took his arm. At the same time, the blonde girl who was his servant also came and took Luo Di's other arm.

Yu Lu slowly let down her flowing hair and looked at the young couple in front of her with a gloomy expression. "It seems you two have been in contact for a long time. You were the one who stopped Luo Di from eating meat yesterday, weren't you?"

"That's fine, saves me the trouble of keeping track of your whereabouts."

Yu Lu was actually somewhat surprised by the other party's ability. The other party was clearly within the Death Domain, yet they hadn't been able to sense her presence before.

Upon closer inspection, one will discover that the Black-Haired Woman before them actually possesses a layer of corpse-like attributes, achieved through a highly sophisticated imitation technique. It is this disguise that has deceived the death sensor.

The Black-Haired Woman said with a smile:

"Sister Yu, this villa is about to be invaded by zombies. It would be risky for us to continue talking here."

"Come with me, I have a good place where you can eat and drink your fill, and then we can discuss in detail Luo Di's plan to find the root of the problem."

Faced with the Black-Haired Woman's request, Yu Lu simply looked at Luo Di.

"Come on... carry me."

"OK."

The Black-Haired Woman was also very understanding; she took the initiative to let go of his arm, allowing Luo Di to do what he was supposed to do.

Luo Di dared not slack off, and with a needle-like strap extending from his left hand, he once again put on the Yu Lu brand schoolbag.

As the needle pierced her body, a soft groan escaped her lips in pain. Yu Lu also voluntarily revealed her rope-like pupils beneath her bangs to look at the Black-Haired Woman.

"Let's go, Ms. Wu Wen."

The latter simply maintained a standard smile and quickly followed.

[True Death Game, Waiting Area]

Although all the audience members had gone to the rest area to enjoy the various services and wait for the second round to end, Mr. Question Mark remained standing there, seemingly very concerned about the course of the show.

As the project leader for the second stage, the original zombie Jia Wen also stayed by his side the whole time.

They can see the dynamic situation of all participants in the community. According to the script, everyone will gather towards the supermarket after hearing the broadcast, and then all eyes will be focused on the supermarket.

However, two groups of members did not head towards the supermarket, but instead headed in another direction.

"Hmm? There's someone special among those who came to participate in the game this time... Jia Wen, did you reveal something?"

"Reporting to the master, everything is proceeding as you instructed. However, when this sorority's Male Servant was killing zombies, the color within him was able to take away, transform, and absorb some viral components."

Perhaps it was this ability that allowed him to perceive the root of the problem.

"Human... Connector... Mr. Kraft's favorite."

To have such a high standard even before it sprouts, the sorority really knows how to find good stuff. In that case, you should go.

Don't go all out; just play at a level appropriate for the game's difficulty. Players who dare to take risks will make the game more interesting.

If things go as planned, giving them a small benefit wouldn't be a bad idea.

"Boss, you seem very happy?"

"How could I not be happy? I love guys who break the rules. The corner needs geniuses like that to reach deeper."

"Then I'll go."

"Hmm... wait a minute." Mr. Question Mark suddenly noticed something. "Play at a level a bit higher than the game's difficulty. Be careful, Jia Wen."

"Good."
