I'm Going on a Killing Spree!

The Dungeon's atmosphere suddenly turned grim.

Cheng Shaofeng felt the temperature around him dropping, and goosebumps rose all over his body.

Many people had experienced this before.

You were doing something alone somewhere, knowing full well that nobody else was there, when suddenly someone spoke right behind your back.

It could scare you so badly that you jumped!

At a time like this, it had nothing to do with atheism—it was just fucking terrifying!

Cold sweat broke out on Cheng Shaofeng's forehead.

He stiffly turned around and saw Bloodstained Cloth Old Man sitting atop the pile of corpses behind him.

The old man grinned, revealing a mouthful of ghastly white teeth.

"Waiting for rescue? Hehe~ Many people said the same thing before you. But in the end... there was just one more pot of meat soup on the Raiders' table."

"Ordinary people are far too weak before Raiders."

Seeing that the old man was still speaking normally, Cheng Shaofeng examined him carefully and let out a sigh of relief.

"Damn it, old man, when were you hiding there? You scared the hell out of me."

"I was here the whole time. You just didn't inspect the bodies carefully after coming in. You were as careless as those Raiders."

"Uh..." Cheng Shaofeng thought about it and realized that was true. After entering, he had seen several human corpses in the Dungeon and instinctively stayed away from that area. He had crouched in another corner and spent the entire time talking to Zero in his mind.

"You were captured too?"

The old man curled his lips and spread his hands.

"What else?"

Seeing that the old man shared the same fate as him, Cheng Shaofeng lowered his guard and started chatting with him.

"How much longer can we live?"

After transmigrating here, Cheng Shaofeng had inherited some of the original owner's memories and gained a basic understanding of this world. However, the original owner had merely been a bottom-rung survivor struggling to live in this small place, so he did not know much about the world.

He had always lived in a place called Salt Well Town. It was said that several hundred years ago, when the world was still normal, it had been a massive mining pit used to extract well salt. Later, because of its complex terrain and salt-producing advantage, some wanderers occupied it and gradually formed a small town.

Cheng Shaofeng had lived in that town. When he was sixteen, his parents had died tragically during a trade with outsiders.

He became an orphan.

When he was young, he had heard his parents say that after the world experienced a devastating global war, the environment changed drastically, the ecological balance collapsed, and many strange energies appeared across the planet. Animals and plants became abnormal, and even humans were affected!

The Raiders who had captured him... were one kind of deformed human.

They absorbed the energy of post-disaster nuclear radiation, causing their bodies to mutate. Their limbs grew thick, their cerebellums atrophied, and all their former memories disappeared, leaving only primal instincts and a small amount of intelligence.

They had thick skin, tough flesh, and inexhaustible strength. Every single one of them was a Big Muscle Man.

It could be said that their brains were full of muscles too.

Affected by radiation sources, most of their skin was green, and their blood was highly corrosive.

Their combat power was extremely high. Three to five ordinary humans were no match for one.

These deformed humans were called Raiders because they robbed everything they saw and never produced anything themselves. They traveled in groups, feared no death, and were an extremely dangerous species in the wasteland.

Especially to normal humans!

However, their naturally powerful bodies also gave Raiders an inherent flaw. The large amount of Radiated Material in their bodies had made them lose the ability to reproduce, so they had to continue their race through a special method.

By transforming humans into Raiders!

The transformation method was brutal. They captured normal humans and brought them back to their tribe, then fed them a piece of nuclear Radiated Material. If they did not die after eating it for three days... they became one.

Of course, most people died.

To Raiders, death did not matter. They could just eat the corpse, and no meat would go to waste.

Cheng Shaofeng had only just been captured, so he would not die immediately. But next... he would be forced to eat nuclear Radiated Material, then wait either for death or to become a powerful but soulless Big Muscle Man.

Upon hearing Cheng Shaofeng's question, the old man thought for a moment.

"Ten."

Cheng Shaofeng was overjoyed. "Ten hours? So the Raiders will perform the transformation at night?"

"That's right! Raiders search for food during the day. Only after they return at night do they have time to deal with their prey."

"In that case... I still have plenty of time. Enough for my companions to mount a rescue."

The old man shook his head.

Cheng Shaofeng frowned slightly. "Could it be ten days? That's impossible. I'd starve to death by then. Hiss~ Ten minutes?"

The old man said, "Nine."

Cheng Shaofeng: (°ー°〃)

At that moment, Cheng Shaofeng faintly heard someone approaching outside the Dungeon.

The old man said, "Eight."

"Fuck! Hurry the fuck up and come save me!!!"

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"

Three men dressed in dark green clothes had just crawled out of the dirt and spat out mouthfuls of debris.

After tidying themselves up a little.

They let out three incredibly high-pitched cries of shock. "Holy... fuck?"

"Hiss~ This texture!"

Pu Shenqi vigorously rubbed his face.

"This is insane! Absolutely insane! It feels just like a real person's face. It's so fucking realistic!"

"Uh, if I'm not mistaken, you must be African Thin Dog, right? Please remove your hand from my face immediately. Otherwise, this is starting to feel kind of gay."

Ghost Face Demon Fox looked utterly disgusted.

"Ahem! I was merely trying to break the ice between us."

Thin Dog said awkwardly.

But the next second, Ghost Face Demon Fox curled his lips into a smug Dragon King smile. "Still... Thin Dog, you're right. This game is indeed incredibly realistic. From digging through the dirt just now to basic character movements, the precision of our models has surpassed everything I thought games could achieve. Interesting! Very interesting!"

African Thin Dog took a deep breath, sensing the faint smell of sulfur in the air. He watched tiny dust particles shimmer under the sunlight, then stretched out a hand and licked the slightly salty dirt from beneath his fingernails.

"Sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch... No wonder Sentinel dared to say this game was 100% virtual reality!"

"This technology... is absolutely revolutionary. It has already surpassed the limits of what any game studio I know could possibly create."

"Exaggerated. Extremely exaggerated! It's hard to imagine that I'd get to play a game like this in my lifetime!"

Ghost Face Demon Fox added, "And if Sentinel was right, we might be the first three people to play this game."

"Huh?"

At the mention of three people, African Thin Dog and Ghost Face Demon Fox turned toward their other teammate at the same time.

African Thin Dog and Ghost Face Demon Fox were both tall, sturdy men standing around 1.8 meters tall. They looked solidly built and not to be messed with.

Compared to the two of them, the last person was somewhat leaner and five centimeters shorter.

At that moment, he pressed his right thumb against the side of his lips while lightly rubbing his chin with his index finger, as though he were pondering something.

African Thin Dog said, "Uh... you're Lin Tang, right?"

Lin Tang nodded. "That's right."

African Thin Dog said, "Mm, then that settles it. We're all here, so let's get to work. Sentinel had us log in to help deal with a bug. The Tutorial Guide is missing, and we need to find him. Think of something, everyone. Where should we look? This beta version doesn't even have any guidance prompts."

Ghost Face Demon Fox pointed at the watch on his wrist.

"Thin Dog, look at this. If I'm not mistaken, that flashing red dot should be the NPC we're looking for."

When the three of them crawled out of the dirt, each of them had already been wearing a white Smartwatch on their wrist.

Ghost Face Demon Fox said, "Obviously, this game does not use the kind of direct and crude text guidance we usually see in games. Instead, it uses nearby objects to provide guidance. This design gives us a stronger sense of immersion, as if we've really entered another world. The designer of this game is interesting."

There was no other information on the Smartwatch right now. There was only a miniature map showing the three of their coordinates and... a route leading to the flashing red dot.

"Alright! Let's hurry up and help Sentinel fix this bug. Such a good headset... and he just gave it to us. Sentinel is truly a real one. Even though he usually looks pretty pathetic when he holds out his hand, when something good comes along, he really thinks of his brothers!"

"Facts."

Ghost Face Demon Fox had also been asked for things by Sentinel a few times, and right now, he felt nothing but gratitude.

"I usually make free strategy guides and help countless forum users. My merits are immeasurable, so it's only natural that I received this opportunity today."

African Thin Dog said, "Reasonable! Very reasonable!"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Tang said, "Come to think of it... I've made so many mods. Although I did slightly wreck the computers of several hundred forum users, my merits clearly outweigh my faults. Sentinel still recognizes my worth! Once I figure this game out, I'll make him a few mods as thanks."

African Thin Dog said, "..."

Ghost Face Demon Fox said, "..."

"Forget that! Quests, quests!"

The three followed the route Cheng Shaofeng had been dragged along by the Raiders, carefully feeling their way forward.

Half an hour later, the three lay prone in the grass, staring at several green Big Muscle Men inside the Raider Camp ahead.

Thin Dog and Demon Fox swallowed at the same time.

"Why do they... not look like something newbies like us can beat?"

"I just remembered that we don't have weapons or equipment, and we don't have skills or talents either. So we're just... going to punch these Green Skins with our bare hands?"

At that moment, Lin Tang abruptly stood up, exposing his not particularly sturdy but imposing body.

"What the fuck? What the hell are you doing! Don't expose us!"

Thin Dog and Demon Fox were instantly shocked.

Lin Tang held a rock in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and assumed the air of an experienced player.

"Although I don't know where this is, and I don't know who I am, I do know this... I'm going on a killing spree!"

The two: ==(●●|||)
