Entry, Zombie Tide (4)

"Where did you get this?" Zheng Yutong was no rookie; she spotted the unique qualities of this weapon at a glance.

"Don't ask. Here are ten magazines. Use these for now, and don't reveal your full strength too early!" Seeing the woman opposite him clearly on the verge of an outburst, Li Wei hurriedly whispered, "Didn't you say that in future missions, you would be the primary attacker and I would be the strategist? You have to listen to me—you're the one who set that rule!"

With Li Wei putting it that way, Zheng Yutong had no way to vent her temper. It was true; because of Li Wei's exceptional mission analysis skills, she had indeed said that, letting him take on a role similar to a 'tactician' to devise plans. As the primary attacker, she naturally had to follow such arrangements. Looking at the seemingly shameless Li Wei, Zheng Yutong held it in, thinking to herself, Just wait until the mission is over, see how I deal with you!

For no reason, Li Wei felt a chill on his neck, thinking, It's better not to provoke this woman!

"By the way, although the mission hasn't officially started, I've analyzed that this is a game world with a modern background. Looking at this rooftop platform, it belongs to the type that hasn't been maintained for a long time—the dust is thick, and some pipes are rusted. Buildings like this aren't just abandoned; there's only one explanation: for some reason, the administrators of this game world could no longer maintain this building. Think about it, what kind of situation could lead to this result?"

Li Wei's analysis was indeed spot on. Zheng Yutong thought for a moment and blurted out, "Could it be that some disaster happened in the city, causing everyone to run away or die?"

"Heh!" Li Wei chuckled and added, "There is another possibility. Although these mists hinder sight and hearing, I have caught a strange scent!"

"What scent?" Zheng Yutong wrinkled her nose hard, looking at Li Wei with a strange expression; clearly, she couldn't smell anything.

"The stench of rot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the 'Guardians' (Yellow Paper) of everyone on the platform jumped out and floated in the air, a rather spectacular sight. It was clear that the mission was about to be issued. Li Wei looked at his own Yellow Paper, where a long passage of text was gradually appearing.

"ID: 1987, entering the Resident Evil world..."

"Mission: Leave Wanxiong City within 24 hours. Upon completion, receive 1500 points. Mission difficulty: D-rank."

Thankfully, the difficulty isn't high!

Taking the other Firearms Mastery gun into his hand, Li Wei understood that the mission was about to officially begin. Based on the current scene, it was highly likely that the missions of most people on the platform were the same as his. Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that some had different tasks. What Li Wei feared most was someone receiving a mission like "Kill the people on the platform!" or "Prevent others from leaving!" If that were the case, it would be troublesome!

Glancing at the crowd, Li Wei didn't notice any special changes in anyone's expression. Helpless, he had to shift his attention to the area below the platform, as the mission had already started and the fog surrounding the rooftop had dissipated.

This was indeed a major metropolis; the towering skyscrapers and urban architecture in the distance confirmed it. But at this moment, the entire city emitted a nauseating stench. Not only that, even from the rooftop over a hundred meters above the ground, one could hear the 'woo-woo' sounds coming from below.

"What is that sound?" A newcomer tremblingly took a dagger from his pocket and gripped it tightly, clearly terrified.

Among the newcomers, most had weapons, but they were limited to ordinary machetes, daggers, or even steel pipes!

A few people might have spent points to purchase some ordinary firearms, and their expressions were much more relaxed; after all, the 'hardware' in their hands was no joke.

Those newcomers without 'firearms' subconsciously stood near those who had guns. This was a biological instinct. The Firearms Mastery weapon in Li Wei's hand looked incredibly powerful, so several newcomers immediately huddled toward him.

Li Wei frowned and ignored them. He walked to the edge of the platform and looked down, his face turning ashen. Like him, everyone else looking down wore the same expression.

Because the scene they saw was too terrifying!

The streets below were packed with 'people,' and the 'woo-woo' sounds everyone heard came from the throats of these beings. However, this was no gathering, nor was it the concert of some big star.

This was hell!

True hell. Li Wei looked at the howling figures below, and a line from a horror movie in the real world suddenly popped into his head.

"This world has rotted. You abort, you kill unborn babies, you engage in homosexuality. Did you think God wouldn't punish you? Now, you see, hell is overflowing, the dead have been released into the human world. Accept God's judgment, you wicked ones!"

The dead returning to the human world?

Indeed, the crowd below were nothing but living dead. The pervasive stench was what they emitted; one could only imagine how much rotting flesh was on them.

Li Wei's Eye of Perception locked onto a zombie and checked its attributes.

"Level 1 Zombie, Attack 10, HP 30. A living dead created by T-Virus infection. Special Skill: Infection."

The stats were very average; Li Wei could kill it with a single shot. However, the number of these zombies was overwhelming. The streets below were already packed with such monsters, numbering well over 100,000. Unless one grew wings, there was no way to leave from here.

No wonder it was a C-rank difficulty scenario. Li Wei couldn't even imagine the scene of fighting his way through a horde of 100,000 zombies.

Shao Yang, ID 114, had already led over a hundred newcomers toward the stairwell. It seemed they had their own plans, and some scattered individuals followed suit.

As for those with some brains and strength, they held various weapons and discussed the next plan. Humans were like this; even when facing danger, they always preferred to act on their own. Li Wei wouldn't criticize them, as he was that kind of person himself.

"My mission is to leave Wanxiong City within 24 hours! What about you?" Li Wei was the first to share his mission with Zheng Yutong.

"Same as you, but... perhaps because my rating is high, there is an additional task on the Yellow Paper, a side mission if you will. I need to lead at least 5 people out. Upon completion, I get 3 T-Virus Serums and 2500 points!" Zheng Yutong simply shared her mission for Li Wei to see.

"I see. It must be because your combat rating is the highest among everyone. If we need to lead 5 people out, including me, we still need to find 4 more people!" Li Wei rubbed his chin, his eyes sweeping toward the newcomers behind him who were holding clubs and daggers.

They had been following him ever since he took out his gun, presumably hoping for his protection. In that case, those four people could just be selected from among them.

Thinking of this, Li Wei had a plan!
