Dead Center, Brief Moments, Dark Carnival, Swamp Fever, Hard Rain, the Parish ----
The main storyline of the Left 4 Dead.
It mainly consists of these chapters.
That doesn't sound like much.
However, each chapter contains several levels.
And each of these levels...
----Every single one of them left a very deep impression on Chu Huai.
And it's not just about having a lot of Zombie.
He started from a burning hotel, fought his way to the Dead Center, found a gasoline can amidst hordes of Zombie Horde life and death, and then grabbed the gasoline can and charged towards the race car.
He had also been at the amusement park, in what should have been the most joyful place, experiencing the rides, when, in a darkly humorous way, at the last moment, he stood on the stage, lit dazzling fireworks, attracting tens of thousands of Zombie to swarm in like a tide, as if performing a death metal show, slaughtering them wildly amidst the flames and roars, until the rescue helicopter broke through the night and fell.
He also trekked through muddy waterways, faced ubiquitous swamps and waterways, and confronted two heavy Tank in dimly lit environments with obstructed vision.
He even faced a terrifyingly large group of witches, their cries echoing everywhere, just as a torrential downpour was about to begin, and then held his ground in the pouring rain, when visibility was extremely low.
Finally, before the bridge was destroyed, he made a final sprint to escape. He traversed the dark, oppressive sewers, stepped onto the bridge, and then, amidst the relentless pursuit of countless Zombie Horde and the frenzied attacks of the Special Infected, he ran towards the final helicopter, facing the rising sun.
That's right.
Right now.
The cross-sea bridge behind them collapsed in the violent explosion.
Chu Huai, sitting in the helicopter, looked back at the collapsed bridge and gasped for breath.
The situation below is still a mess.
But it has nothing to do with him anymore.
Thinking of this...
Chu Huai withdrew his gaze and slumped back into his seat.
At this moment, he was covered in blood, and his gun, having long since run out of ammunition, had been tossed aside.
Even if it's safe...
His hands were still trembling slightly, mainly from excitement.
to be honest.
Such an intense battle.
I'm really tired.
Clearing this dungeon was even more tiring than killing a wave of Monster Tide on the front lines of Jade Capital.
but.
Tired as I am.
It was truly shocking!
It was really awesome!
For the first time, Chu Huai truly experienced the charm of the dungeon.
This is completely different from the old days when you just grabbed Strategy Group and memorized the layout to complete the game!
Undeniably, even with a walkthrough, the dungeons created by Lu Xiu often leave you breathless with their atmosphere and exquisite design.
But that kind of shock.
Most of these episodes were spoiled, so their intensity is nowhere near as great as the first viewing.
This time, it was Chu Huai's first time experiencing Lu Xiu's dungeon as a pure player without any external guides!
The thrill of the unknown, the awe-inspiring challenge of constantly encountering imaginative levels, the exhilarating feeling of slaying monsters, the tension of being chased, the excitement of escaping—
A wide variety of emotions.
They're all so addictive!
When Chu Huai was playing the Dead Center and had to fill up the car with fuel while braving hordes of Zombie to collect fuel cans, his adrenaline was surging, and he couldn't help but want to shout that Lu Xiu was a genius.
When we get to the end of the Hard Rain chapter...
Soaked to the bone by the icy rain, in the pitch-black storm, listening to the unknown roars coming from all directions, all he could do was lean against the wall, gritting his teeth and holding the line.
At that moment, this seasoned veteran of the Jade Capital front lines even felt as if his soul had been cleansed.
I'm so nervous!
But it's so much fun!!
He felt as if he had returned to more than a decade ago, to the moment when he first joined the army and held a real gun for the first time.
Those were the days of youthful exhilaration, filled with intense tension, boundless excitement, and boiling passion!
He hadn't expected it at all.
Such a simple story of breaking through, when structured into a dungeon—it's surprisingly interesting! There are so many ways to play! So many jaw-dropping performances!
Survival instincts, tactical skills, and mental resilience are all perfectly integrated into one instance.
That's really amazing!
Thinking of this...
Chu Huai turned his head and couldn't help but look at the stunningly beautiful girl sitting opposite him in the cabin, casually wiping the blood off her face.
Is this Architect?
Perhaps it should be called a dream weaver.
certainly.
Beyond the shock...
He had to admit it.
The dungeon is quite challenging.
And it's quite big.
However, with Lu Xiu around, she was simply too formidable— Chu Huai, towards the end, didn't know if the soldiers could handle her.
Because he got caught up in it too.
But in any case.
Chu Huai was quite certain that the soldiers in this instance could enter without a guide, and the difference between having a guide and not having one was negligible.
Because the gameplay is so simple and easy to understand, it can effectively train the abilities of frontline soldiers.
Playing this dungeon might even help relieve stress.
certainly.
Does every soldier need to enter?
It all depends on the reward----
Chu Huai's thoughts reached this point.
The window popped up at that moment.
[Congratulations on clearing the dungeon!]
[System is generating clearance rating--]
[Comment: It seems not everyone has a unique playstyle; some people just don't fit in.]
[Evaluation Summary:]
We're all players, pretty much the same, and all have a bright future.
[----Theoretically speaking, that's correct.]
After a brief pause.
A new notification has appeared.
[Instance Completion: 100%]
[Overall Customs Clearance Rating: SSS]
[Please check the settlement page for related rewards]
[Automatic teleportation in 60 seconds]
Chu Huai stared blankly at the comments that appeared on the window.
This completion rating... something's off.
There's a strong sense of ambiguity about these words.
Furthermore, the evaluation and summary seem to be something Lu Xiu said?
On the other side.
Shen Nian also saw it and asked curiously, "Lu Xiu, why is your dungeon completion rating like this? Who is this system subtly criticizing? Why is it being so sarcastic?"
Upon hearing this...
Lu Xiu sighed helplessly and changed the subject, saying, "Don't worry about it, the system is malfunctioning—the dungeon is already cleared, and you should appear at the Astera when the countdown ends. Then you can see for yourselves what the system rewards you've given."
Seeing Lu Xiu's expression, Shen Nian, "Why are you reacting like this? It's like you're used to it. Do you get this sarcastic tone from the system every time you clear a dungeon?"
Lu Xiu didn't want to speak.
Actually, there are even more outrageous cases.
Why directly call her a scumbag woman or a lunatic?
To slander someone.
Thankfully, this time it was just sarcastic remarks.
Seeing Lu Xiu's expression, Shen Nian became even more curious.
Jian Li was curious.
Chu Huai guessed something, considering Lu Xiu's wild fighting style, which contrasted sharply with her appearance.
System evaluation estimates—pretty wild, right?
But before he could think about it further...
Sixty seconds passed in the blink of an eye.
The teleportation has begun.
A flash of Bai Guang followed.
Lu Xiu returned to the Construction Space.
really.
The other three returned to reality.
She casually closed the evaluation and then looked at the System Panel.

Lu Xiu made a sarcastic remark upon seeing the skill name, then clicked to take a look.

After reviewing the skills, Lu Xiu showed neither joy nor sorrow, simply nodding slightly.
Then I continued reading.

As Lu Xiu pondered this, she clicked on the link and took a look.

[Duration: 60 seconds]
[Cooldown time: 1 hour.]
[Note: You think you're so tough? Go tell my son!]
This is good.
Lu Xiu's beautiful eyes lit up slightly.
If the bonuses from the skill descriptions also apply to skills like Dragon Flash.
When Lu Xiu encounters a steel plate, she doesn't even need to endure the shame of wearing the Alatreon Set; she can simply use her skill to blast the opponent away.
certainly.
It just didn't last long enough—otherwise it would have been a game-winning shot.
but.
60 seconds is enough.
If we can't lift the steel plate in a minute, then what's the point of fighting?
good.
This dungeon build isn't a bad deal.
Lu Xiu clapped her hands, then exited the Construction Space and returned to the third floor of the Astera.
Just landed.
Then he saw Shen Nian and Jian Li.
But Chu Huai was not seen.
Where are they?
Lu Xiu approached the two children, looked them over, and then asked curiously, "What rewards did you receive?"
"Upon seeing the reward, Chu Huai immediately said he was going to find Zhou Zhenyue; he was incredibly excited."
Shen Nian looked at Lu Xiu and replied, "As for the reward—it's this!"
She demonstrated her skills to Lu Xiu.
Lu Xiu glanced at the skill and instantly understood.

All right.
This is a youthful version of "Corpse Mountain, Blood Sea".
but.
In the environment of the front lines.
These two skills are actually quite useful.
No wonder Chu Huai ran so fast.
