If You Don't Want to Die, Listen to Me (1)
I touched the button, and the phone screen immediately lit up, indicating that it was still working properly, but there was no signal.
After thinking for a moment, Li Wei immediately teleported out of the Copper Pot World and returned to outside the theater. At this moment, the phone finally responded and began to connect to the network. Seeing this, Li Wei finally smiled. He smiled happily because he knew that this theater mission would undergo a major change because of the appearance of this phone.
Perhaps there's more than just the phone he destroyed in the theater; it's just that finding another phone in the short term would be incredibly difficult for others.
Furthermore, others probably wouldn't know which number to dial either. It sounds simple, but in reality, apart from Li Wei, it would be very difficult for anyone else to do it.
The Mirror Image zombie not only retrieved Li Wei's phone but also took the accompanying Bluetooth headset, which was exactly what Li Wei needed. After putting the headset on, Li Wei casually walked past the dozen or so advanced reincarnators and returned to his seat.
Time passed, and on the screen, Zhuo Qingxuan had found another reincarnator, but this unfortunate fellow had become a pile of dismembered corpses. He had encountered the 'Despair' zombie before, and was instantly killed in one encounter, his death a gruesome sight.
A blood-stained Toy Bear remained at the scene. Upon seeing it, Li Wei's brow twitched imperceptibly.
Although the people in the theater witnessed the killing of the reincarnator on the big screen, no one knew what happened there afterward.
The reason Li Wei cared about these things was because there was a Sherry there at the time. Or rather, it was a monster disguised as Sherry.
After observing, Li Wei had a general idea of how to distinguish between the real and fake Sherry.
The key lies in the Toy Bear that Sherry is holding. Just like the first monster, once Li Wei destroyed the Toy Bear, the monster immediately revealed its true form. For a monster whose true nature cannot be discerned even with Detection skills, perhaps that Toy Bear is its only weakness.
Before this, Li Wei had carefully observed the Sherry who accompanied several reincarnators. Except for the Sherry who followed the Ghost King Star reincarnator Ghost Princess and could drop the Toy Bear, the other Sherry clung tightly to the Toy Bear no matter what danger they encountered.
Therefore, the real Sherry is the one who stays with Ghost Princess, while the fake Sherry will reveal her true form after losing her Toy Bear.
Having found the real Sherry, the remaining challenge is ensuring Bao Ling's safety for the rest of the time, but it seems these last few hours are definitely going to be very dangerous.
If Li Wei's deduction is correct, then the number of fake Sherry who have turned into monsters has now increased to three.
Three S5-level monsters with unique abilities—if this situation isn't considered dangerous, then there are no dangerous situations in the world.
Strangely, apart from the 'Despair' zombie, the other two zombies that had appeared did not show up on the screen. The reincarnators in the theater were still searching for a possible phone, completely unaware that the three remaining reincarnators in the story world were in imminent danger of losing their lives.
Li Wei sighed, thinking to himself that if he didn't intervene, probably no one in the first play, the Resident Evil world, would survive. If no one survived, then naturally no one would receive the corresponding reward. Unfortunately, besides himself, there was probably no one else in the entire theater who could see through this.
Looking at where Bao Ling and the others were, Li Wei quickly summoned his Black Paper, took out a pen, and began to sketch on it.
Greedy Wolf and the Ming Brothers, who were standing nearby, also came over. They saw Li Wei sketching several two-dimensional diagrams on the Black Paper. The group stared at each other, wondering what Li Wei was going to do.
Upon first seeing Li Wei's Black Paper, Greedy Wolf and the others were immediately drawn to it.
"Is this the legendary Black Paper? The symbol of the Destroyer, capable of gaining control of the star field, and also an essential item for learning the 'Devour' skill. It is indeed filled with An Hei aura." Typhoon, who had been mostly silent, couldn't help but come closer out of curiosity when he saw the paper emitting wisps of black energy.
"It's said that Black Paper can devour Yellow Paper within a range of several meters. I wonder if that's true," Ming Dong chuckled. His brother, Bright Wolf, chimed in, "That's definitely true. I've personally witnessed black paper devouring it. In short, this thing is incredibly strange."
Greedy Wolf, however, after carefully examining the pattern Li Wei had drawn on the Black Paper, revealed a hint of surprise. Seeing that Li Wei seemed to be nearing completion of the drawing, he finally couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Brother Li, what is this thing you've drawn? It looks a bit like...?"
"What does it look like?" Li Wei chuckled, put away his pen, looked at the several floor plans he had drawn, and nodded in satisfaction.
"It looks like... a floor plan of some building, right?" Greedy Wolf asked uncertainly.
"You got it right," Li Wei pointed to the floor plan and continued, "This is indeed a floor plan of the building, including the rooms and corridors. Do you know which building this is?"
Greedy Wolf was taken aback, then an idea popped into his head. He looked up at the big screen and said uncertainly, "Could it be... that you drew a floor plan of that building from the story world?"
Li Wei nodded and pointed to one of the floor plans, saying, "Why not? Look here, this is the floor plan of the first floor of the supermarket. These little red dots represent zombies, while the areas marked in green are safe zones. And look, this is the floor plan of the supermarket's basement..."
Greedy Wolf watched Li Wei's explanation, secretly astonished. He wondered what was going on in Li Wei's head all day, how could he come up with such strange ideas? And most importantly, how did Li Wei determine the authenticity of this map? Furthermore, how could the map even mark the locations of zombies and safe zones?
Seemingly sensing Greedy Wolf's thoughts, Li Wei chuckled and pointed to the large screen, saying, "Any conclusion is inseparable from observation. You may not have noticed, but in the past few hours, the screen has already displayed most of the supermarket. All I have to do is record these and then draw them out."
Looking at Greedy Wolf and even Typhoon, they were all staring blankly at Li Wei. To be honest, none of them could have completed this task. Let alone if they hadn't thought of it at first, even if they had prepared in advance, it would be difficult to memorize all the terrain based on the rapidly flashing images, let alone draw such a practical map.
Staring at the map drawn by Li Wei, Greedy Wolf seemed to have discovered something new. He quickly pointed to several places marked with '1' on the map and asked, "What are these?"
"Zombies, but not ordinary zombies, but the kind of zombies that the fake Sherry transformed into. Number 1 represents 'Despair.' So far, we've only seen the 'Despair' zombie; we haven't seen the other zombies of the same level. The area marked with the number '1' is the area where that monster appeared."
Listening to Li Wei's explanation, Greedy Wolf and the others nodded repeatedly, knowing that if they had such a map in the story world, it would greatly increase their survival rate.
"You all come closer. Yes, pretend to talk to me, but don't let anyone see what I'm doing." Li Wei pulled Greedy Wolf and the others closer to him, glanced around, and after making sure no one was paying attention, quietly put his hand into his pocket and pressed the dial button.
Meanwhile, Bao Ling and Ghost Princess arrived at a place only a wall away from the guard room. They had already killed more than twenty mutated zombies along the way, each of which had reached the S1 level in combat power. They even encountered an S2 level zombie. In the end, it took Ghost Princess and Bao Ling a lot of effort to kill that zombie.
"Sister Ghost Princess, where are we going?" Bao Ling was still shaken by the previous battles. If she hadn't been traveling with Ghost Princess, she would probably be dead by now.
"Let's search this place first to see if there are any hidden treasures. I also vaguely sense several powerful auras, full of violence and killing intent, which are no less ferocious than the most vicious ghosts in my Ghost King Star Domain. My intuition tells me not to come into contact with these auras, so we need to keep moving to avoid them." Although Ghost Princess was cold-hearted, she was very kind to Bao Ling.
When two people get along well, their friendship will become stronger, as is the case with Ghost Princess and Bao Ling.
Bao Ling nodded. Although she didn't have the powerful perception of Ghost Princess, as a woman, her instinct for danger constantly reminded her that she could lose her life at any moment in this place.
At that very moment, a bell rang out abruptly in the quiet environment.
"Don't move, crouch down!" Ghost Princess reacted quickly, instantly pressing Bao Ling to the ground, while she herself bent over, warily looking around.
Immediately afterward, the bell rang again. Ghost Princess turned her head and found the direction from which the sound came, while Bao Ling was stunned when she heard the somewhat familiar voice.
"It's the phone ringing," Bao Ling blurted out.
"A telephone ring? What's that?" Ghost Princess asked, puzzled. In their Ghost King Star Domain, they had never heard of a 'telephone'.
In fact, after entering this mission scene, Ghost Princess discovered that there were many things here that she had never seen or heard of before, and the 'telephone' that Bao Ling mentioned was even more puzzling to her.
"Over there!" Bao Ling quickly got up and ran towards the direction from which the bell sounded. Ghost Princess thought for a moment and then quickly followed.
