Tailored (8000 Words)

On the high platform.

The officer guessed what the others were thinking.

Actually, let's not even talk about them.

When I received the order, I heard that there was no walkthrough for Lu Xiu's new dungeon, so I went straight in.

The officer himself felt a chill run down his spine.

The soldiers on the front lines, including most of the officers, basically entered the dungeon using strategy guides.

But this doesn't mean they lack a keen sense of difficulty.

In fact, they are more perceptive.

Because most dungeons can be easily cleared by following a walkthrough.

However, some dungeons, even with a walkthrough, can still be so difficult that they make you question your existence.

It makes you want to think about it.

no.

Why is it still so difficult?

That's right, it's Lu Xiu's copy—and the best of them all is Sekiro.

Even if the soldiers had the walkthrough and knew exactly what to do and how to skip lessons, they would still struggle through this dungeon, dying repeatedly.

Moreover, in Jade Capital, because the offline entrance to the Monster Hunter dungeon is located there, and there have been too many High Sequence players recently, many frontline soldiers have actually tried out Lu Xiu's latest masterpiece.

But none of the progress was smooth.

So now when we hear keywords like "Lu Xiu," "new dungeon," and "no walkthrough," we're talking about Lu Xiu.

Anyone would feel uneasy.

Officers do too.

Isn't this just giving away Survival Points?

However, after getting a general understanding of the new dungeon...

The officer was somewhat relieved.

Although I still have some concerns, at least I won't show them at this moment.

I know what you're thinking.

The officer continued, "But this time is different. This new instance, called [Left 4 Dead], was specially prepared for you by Lu Xiu. It's set in a post-apocalyptic modern world, with combat primarily using firearms. The enemies are Zombie, the Zombie infected with the virus from Resident Evil. The mechanics are simple and straightforward, only testing your teamwork and resilience."

"What you need to do is use your usual tactical skills to kill all the monsters that dare to approach you."

"Is it possible?!"

"Able!!!"

The formation roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

"Let's form a team and prepare to enter the dungeon."

The officer reiterated a few points to note.

Then they began preparing the soldiers to enter the instance.

Chu Huai actually had limited remaining memories, so there weren't many things to be aware of.

The most important point, of course, is cooperation.

The soldiers began to team up with each other.

And the gap.

Many soldiers exchanged glances, their apprehension still lingering.

Firearms?

Team up to fight Zombie?

It does sound very simple, and it's even in their area of expertise.

The problem is—that's a copy created by Miss Lu Xiu.

Is it really that simple?

In the formation of a certain company.

Young Private Chen Fei turned to look at his squad leader beside him.

"Squad leader----"

Chen Fei asked curiously, "Is what you said true, sir? Is it really possible to clear this dungeon without a guide?"

How would I know?

The squad leader, Old Zhang, was a veteran who had been fighting on the front lines for four years since the game's inception. He just smiled and said, "Our duty is to follow orders. Since the higher-ups have decided it's okay, then let's enter the instance."

Try your best to clear the dungeon. If you really can't clear it, and the difficulty can't be overcome by effort, then report it.

However, if the dungeon difficulty is moderate, and you messed it up due to carelessness, resulting in failure, then you'll be waiting to come back and receive your punishment.

In short, we must be extremely vigilant; we cannot underestimate Lu Xiu's copy.

"Yes!"

The other team members immediately stood at attention.

"Now let's assign the personnel. Chen Fei, Li Ka, Chen Chen, and I will be in one team, and the rest of you—"

Old Zhang nodded, then quickly divided the soldiers into groups and turned to look at the three soldiers he was teaming up with.

"If it's Zombie, then it's a humanoid creature."

Old Zhang brought up the System Panel, searched for the name in the dungeon library, and continued, "So don't bring in the defense line experience, of course, we can't rule out the possibility of special Zombie."

However, the main enemies should all be humanoid, and the main stage will most likely be in the city, meaning it will be primarily urban warfare. Once inside the instance, maintain a tight formation, and team members should not be too far apart. If you encounter open terrain, advance in a diamond formation, proceed cautiously, and provide alternating cover.

"Understood!" Chen Fei and the other two replied immediately.

"Get ready to go in."

Old Zhang found the [Left 4 Dead] instance, greeted the other team, and then clicked to enter the instance.

[Enter the dungeon: Left 4 Dead?]

[confirm.]

Everyone else pressed confirm immediately.

Swish.

In the square, white light began to shine continuously.

Chen Fei felt a sudden dizziness, and when he regained his senses, he was already in the instance.

The introductory storyline begins, and it's roughly the same as the CG cutscenes.

The roar of the helicopter gradually faded into the distance.

That was a rescue that had abandoned them.

Immediately afterwards, control of the body returned instantly.

Almost the instant I gained control of my body.

Four soldiers who had survived the Corpse Mountain, Blood Sea on the front lines of Jade Capital immediately huddled together. Even though they were temporarily unarmed, they instinctively formed a standard circular defensive formation back to back, scanning every corner of their surroundings.

This is the rooftop of a building.

The sky was overcast.

Thick smoke billowed from the city.

But there were no enemies around.

"The rooftop is safe; there are no targets."

Chen Chen, in the group, quickly scanned the surroundings and reported in a low voice.

Old Zhang made a gesture, then turned his gaze to a platform not far away.

There was a long, rectangular table for supplies.

On the table, four first-aid kits, several pistols, and various melee weapons were laid out quietly, along with several boxes of ammunition scattered around.

Li Ka immediately stepped forward and grabbed a pistol from the table.

With a flick of his thumb, he removed the magazine, checked the ejection port, and then chambered a new round.

"How is it?" Old Zhang asked.

"Realistic portrayal is not a concern; Lu Xiu has worked on similar shooting games before."

Li Ka replied, "The firearms are extremely well-reproduced."

Hearing this, Chen Fei also walked over.

Instead of taking a gun, he grabbed a Fire Axe from the table and swung it around in the air twice.

Call!

The axe blade tore through the air, producing a dull whistling sound.

Next.

Chen Fei then tried a few quick movements, even sprinting two steps in place.

"Squad leader----"

Chen Fei turned his head. "Although the attributes are restricted, overall it's no different from reality."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang tried it out and then said, "It seems this instance is indeed very close to reality. Now let's see what the enemy does."

97

That's all.

The group exchanged glances, and each saw a sense of relief in the other's eyes.

They had guns and ammunition.

The combat environment is extremely close to reality.

This is indeed the most suitable copy for them----

No wonder it was said to be tailor-made for them.

If the mechanism is also simple.

That makes the dungeon much easier.

The group picked up the first-aid kits, checked their functions, stuffed them into their backpacks, and then each chose their weapon.

Then.

The four men split into two groups and began walking downstairs cautiously, guns at the ready.

soon.

The group then went down to the eighth floor.

Old Zhang gestured for everyone else to stop and remain silent.

Indistinctly.

You could hear howls like those of wild beasts and rapid footsteps coming from inside the door.

The quantity sounds extremely large.

Old Zhang made a hand gesture.

Chen Chen immediately understood.

He pressed himself against the wall and pushed the door open a tiny crack.

Following the seam.

Chen Chen looked into the room through the door.

The next second.

"Squad leader----"

Chen Chen suddenly straightened up and lowered his voice, saying, "The corridor is full of Zombie, densely packed, almost blocking the entire corridor."

Upon hearing this, Old Zhang also went over to take a look.

really.

The dimly lit corridor was filled with blood-soaked Zombie.

Some were munching on something with their heads down, some were wandering aimlessly, and others were simply standing still.

There are just too many.

Old Zhang withdrew his light, his brows furrowing slightly. "There are so many, a pistol definitely can't handle it. Although the corridor is narrow, pistols have limited rate of fire and magazines. Chen Fei, take out your melee weapons. You and I will be at the front, using our melee weapons to kill the enemy and check their damage. Chen Chen and Li Ka will provide support with single shots."

Additionally, there may be Mutation —shout loudly the moment you see one.

"Clear."

Chen Fei immediately put away his pistol and picked up the Fire Axe.

"Prepare."

Old Zhang gripped his club tightly, pressed it against the door, raised his left hand, and gestured three numbers.

three.

two.

one.

Bang!

Old Zhang suddenly kicked the Open Gate.

A tremendous commotion was heard instantly.

In the corridor, the Infected had been wandering aimlessly were suddenly startled awake, turning their heads in unison. Their blood-stained faces looked particularly horrifying in the dim corridor light.

"Roar!!!"

The next second, accompanied by roars, the Zombie took off running and began to sprint wildly toward the door!

Wow, so fast!

Chen Fei was momentarily surprised when he saw this.

But he quickly suppressed his surprise and immediately raised the Fire Axe.

He had just raised his weapon.

The Zombie rushed up to him, and several of Zombie even opened their gaping maws at him.

"----kill!"

A fierce glint flashed in Chen Fei's eyes. He suddenly exerted force in his waist, grabbed the Fire Axe with both hands, and with a whooshing sound, swung it directly at the necks of the first few Zombie!

Pfft!

The sound of an axe blade slicing through flesh rang out.

Blood splattered everywhere.

Chen Fei had actually already held back his strength and was ready to swing his sword a second time.

He felt that these Zombie wouldn't be so easy to deal with.

But he was shocked to discover this only when he swung his axe.

With a smooth Fire Axe, he chopped off the heads of the two Zombie charging at the front.

With their heads flying off, the two headless corpses collapsed to the ground like tattered sacks.

"So crispy?!"

Chen Fei's eyes lit up instantly.

For a moment, he even felt a subtle sense of pleasure.

"Don't pause! Keep pushing!"

On the other side, Old Zhang swung his baseball bat, and with a muffled thud, smashed a Zombie that pounced on him to the ground, letting out a low shout.

Bang! Bang!

Gunshots rang out in the corridor.

Chen Chen and Li Ka began firing precise shots continuously.

Every shot hit the head, and every shot released a cloud of blood mist into the air.

The four of them worked together very well.

but.

There are just too many Zombie.

As soon as the Zombie in front fell, the Zombie behind stepped over the corpses of their own kind and continued to push and bite forward like mad dogs.

In the narrow corridor.

A strong, nauseating stench of blood instantly filled the air.

Fortunately, the four of them cooperated very well.

Although progress has not been fast, it has been relatively smooth.

And they kept killing.

Chen Fei, who was at the very front, felt increasingly exhilarated.

He couldn't quite pinpoint the source of this exhilarating feeling.

Perhaps it's because it's real.

One swing of the axe!

The Zombie's flesh was torn apart, its bones were shattered, and blood splattered with dull thuds of impact—there weren't many fancy mechanics, and no attacks that required rolling to dodge.

There are many Zombie.

There are a lot.

However, as long as one has enough experience and the tactical coordination is tight enough, it will be effective.

That way, we can make steady progress!

This moment.

Chen Fei finally understood why the officer had said this dungeon didn't need a walkthrough.

These Zombie are too weak!

No, you definitely don't need to; you can clear the game just by killing everyone!

They charged forward, cutting their way through the enemy lines.

Chen Fei seemed tireless, continuing to swing the Fire Axe.

Behind him, Li Ka and Chen Chen continued firing, accurately shooting down any stragglers trying to pounce from blind spots.

"Squad leader, it seems our worries before coming in were a bit unnecessary. This dungeon is definitely tailor-made for us; the gameplay is simple, and it's even easier to beat—"

Chen Fei cleaved the Zombie in front of him with another axe blow, turned his head, and was about to grin.

But that's why it's called the Left 4 Dead Left 4 Dead.

The key is survival.

Before Chen Fei could finish speaking, he saw an unusual Infected suddenly shove through the ordinary Zombie in the road and rush towards Chen Fei.

Bang bang bang.

Li Ka and Chen Chen immediately turned their guns around and began firing.

But the pistol bullet only made the other person pause for a moment.

soon.

The special Infected known as the Boomer arrived nearby.

The music suddenly blared!

The background sounds, which were originally just gunshots and Zombie groans and screams, were replaced by sharp, piercing music.

The Boomer leans back slightly and opens their mouth.

Then he vomited a mouthful of bile directly onto Chen Fei.

Green pus instantly covered his face.

Chen Fei's vision was instantly obstructed, and he immediately shouted to report the situation, "Visibility obstructed!"

And at the same time he spoke.

The wailing of ten thousand corpses!

The Zombie in the entire building seemed to have come to life.

The Zombie that were already relentlessly attacking their squad became even more ferocious.

Although Chen Fei's vision was obstructed and he couldn't see clearly, he could still make out a blurry shadow.

As he watched the Zombie shadows pounce on him even more ferociously, and heard the howling of the countless corpses, he, who had just thought the dungeon was a bit easy, felt a chill run down his spine.

But he still managed to control his instincts.

He didn't just swing the axe around randomly.

"Take two steps towards the three o'clock position, lean against the wall, and swing the axe!"

Old Zhang's voice finally came through.

Chen Fei immediately did as instructed, moving two steps to the left and leaning against the wall, where he began to swing his Great Axe continuously.

But the Zombie seem to have been enhanced; their attack, speed, and even health have all increased.

One axe blow wasn't enough to kill him!

Chen Fei could only swing his axe even faster.

But the Zombie Horde continued to surge wildly toward his location!

On the other side.

His teammates, having learned from the clues that the Boomer's bile would drive other Zombie into a frenzy, began firing at the Boomer incessantly.

The scene was extremely chaotic.

Bang! Bang!

About ten seconds later, just as Chen Fei was about to give up...

Li Ka and Chen Chen's combined firepower finally paid off.

A muffled thud was heard.

The bloated Boomer's health finally reached zero, and it exploded right in the middle of the corridor!

The immense impact and splattered pus sent several Zombie flying, but the pungent bodily fluids also drove the already frenzied Zombie Horde into Rampage once more.

The good news is that Chen Fei's vision has finally been restored.

But that's not all----

Or rather, this is just the beginning.

Roar!!!

The Boomer had just been killed, Old Zhang was about to direct his team to continue clearing out the regular Zombie.

The roar rang out once again.

Immediately afterwards.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Heavy footsteps approached.

Old Zhang suddenly looked up, his vision piercing through the dense, surging Zombie Horde.

At the end of the corridor, a tall, monstrous Infected with a deformed body and exaggeratedly swollen muscles in its right arm and shoulder crashed into the horde of ordinary Zombie blocking its way!

They charged straight towards their squad.

Charger.

Its goal is very clear.

It's Chen Fei!

As soon as Chen Fei regained his vision and looked up, he saw a huge figure rushing straight towards him from across the corridor.

I haven't reacted yet.

He was thrown to the ground.

Then, the Charger roared, grabbed Chen Fei with one hand, and slammed him hard into the ground.

This smash.

Chen Fei's health dropped by one-sixth instantly.

[You have been attacked and need your teammates' help.]

"Team leader!!!"

Chen Fei shouted again.

At the same time, I was shouting in my heart.

What the heck??

What is this thing??

On the other side.

After narrowly dodging the Charger, Old Zhang had just gotten up when he witnessed Chen Fei being thrown into the air.

Meanwhile, a bunch of ordinary Zombie rushed at them from the surrounding area.

The scene changed instantly.

Ahead, a frenzied Zombie Horde pressed against their faces, tearing at them.

Later, there was a terrifying Infected pinned his teammates to the ground and smashed them repeatedly.

The relief I just felt felt like a dream.

Old Zhang's breath hitched.

He knew it!

Lu Xiu's dungeon is definitely not that simple!!!

Holding a metal rod in one hand and a pistol in the other, he ordered the other two to provide cover while rushing to Chen Fei's side, repeatedly slamming the metal rod into the Charger.

With his teammates providing continuous cover fire, Old Zhang smashed the vehicle countless times before the massive body of the Charger suddenly stiffened and finally collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Cough cough----grass----"

Chen Fei crashed heavily to the ground, coughing violently. He glanced at the health bar, which had already dropped into the red zone, at the edge of his vision, and felt as if all the bones in his body were about to break.

"Can you stand up?!"

Old Zhang grabbed Chen Fei and lifted him off the ground with one hand.

"You won't die!"

Chen Fei spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and picked up the Fire Axe from the ground.

"Let's use the first aid kit first."

Old Zhang pushed him behind him, then charged forward alone again, carrying his melee weapon.

After recovering his health, Chen Fei immediately rushed to the front to share the burden.

Next.

The situation continues.

As the team cleared out the scattered ordinary Zombie, they still fought like monsters, unstoppable.

But wait for special Infected to appear.

Or when Zombie Horde arrives.

Everything will be different then.

The pressure has really increased!

This made everyone more cautious, no longer thinking the dungeon was easy.

Including Chen Fei ----

After what just happened...

He then realized how naive he had been.

Although the dungeon gameplay is simple.

But the dungeon is no easy task!

soon.

They walked around the burning passageway from the edge of the building to the other side.

They also found bile-related items.

"A tool for outsmarting someone? --- Let's try it later. Keep it safe; if we encounter the same situation again, we'll use this."

Old Zhang handed the bile to Chen Fei, looking at him. "Don't let your guard down. Are you still feeling relaxed?"

Chen Fei blushed, took the bile, and put it away.

Keep going.

But when they went into another room...

A strange laugh suddenly rang out.

"On your head!" Old Zhang suddenly raised his gun.

But it's too fast!

A hunchbacked, monkey-like Special Infected leaped up at incredible speed and landed directly on Chen Fei's head.

"!!!"

Chen Fei let out a muffled groan.

The monster rode on his head, its hands gripping his head and eyes, pulling him backward repeatedly.

In this situation, Chen Fei was not only blind, but also unable to stand steadily. His body was involuntarily pressed down by the monster, and he stumbled backward toward the edge of the broken French windows in the room.

"----team leader!!!"

Chen Fei reached up to grab his head, but it was no use as the monster swayed from side to side. He could only scream in despair.

Old Zhang:

He immediately raised his gun, aimed it at Jockey's head, and fired repeatedly.

"----Friendly fire! Don't fire in rapid succession! Aim for the monster's head!!"

Old Zhang a few shots, then suddenly realized something was wrong. After shouting something, he began to follow the Special Infected on Chen Fei's head.

Chen Fei was getting closer and closer to the edge of the floor-to-ceiling window—one meter! Half a meter! Just as he was about to step into empty air.

finally.

Bang bang bang.

Old Zhang pulled the trigger again.

The Jockey's head exploded, and he tumbled off Chen Fei's head.

thump.

Chen Fei's legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the edge of the French window, half of his body dangling in the air.

He gasped for breath, staring at the bottomless ruins of the city below, cold sweat instantly soaking his back.

Seeing this scene...

There were no Zombie around.

Old Zhang signaled to the team to stop temporarily, so that Chen Fei could catch his breath and recover his strength.

There are just one problem after another.

They were exhausted too.

And this is just the beginning.

5

A few seconds later.

Chen Fei, having recovered, left the window with lingering fear. Looking at Jockey's body on the ground, he couldn't help but ask, "Captain—how many of these special Infected did Miss Lu Xiu design?"

I don't know.

Old Zhang shook his head. "But judging from the dungeons she's built before, it's probably not few."

Chen Fei: "----"

The other two: "----"

I endured it for a while.

Chen Fei couldn't help but give a wry smile, "I thought this dungeon would be easy—"

"No, for us, the dungeon is simple enough."

Old Zhang shook his head, then took a deep breath. "Let's keep going."

39

The four continued on their way.

soon.

The four of them then successfully reached the next floor where the elevator was still in good working order.

The elevator slowly descended.

But as they went down the floors, the flames and thick smoke seeped in, clearly indicating that the situation outside was not good.

Old Zhang and Chen Fei pried open the elevator door.

really.

The outside was engulfed in flames.

They're here----

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, this notification appeared.

I don't know where.

The howling of ten thousand corpses rang out once more.

Zombie Horde!

"Rifles, there are rifles here."

Chen Fei, with his sharp eyes, immediately spotted the rifle and ammunition boxes on the floor at the elevator exit.

"Quick! Get the rifles!"

Old Zhang immediately shouted.

Chen Fei immediately put away the semi-automatic pistol that was empty of bullets and grabbed an assault rifle.

Press down with your thumb.

A snap.

Holding the heavy spear in his hand instantly boosted his confidence considerably.

Old Zhang picked up a pump-action shotgun, while Li Ka and Chen Chen each grabbed a rifle.

And just as they picked up their spears...

Boom!

Countless Zombie broke through the sea of fire, bathed in flames, and howled as they pounced.

The intense heat, mixed with the stench of burning corpses, hit us instantly!

"Rhomboid formation! Open fire! Charge out first!"

Bang!

Old Zhang, at the forefront, raised his shotgun and blasted the three fiery Zombie charging at the front, sending them flying through the air.

Bang bang bang!

Chen Fei and his men followed closely behind with their assault rifles, spitting out dazzling tongues of fire nearly half a meter long!

Under the onslaught of automatic fire, the Zombie charging madly against the flames were instantly torn apart, their mangled limbs shattered and flesh and blood flying everywhere, once they were hit.

Even so.

The four of them are still under a lot of pressure.

Because of the Special Infected.

"The left side is leaking! Finish off the missing shot!"

"Reload! Cover me!"

"I'm providing cover! Keep pushing!"

"It's Boomer!!!"

"Get out of the way!!!"

"Chen Chen! Tongue!!!"

"Chen Fei!!! Cover me!!! Li Ka, hold off the Zombie Horde! I'm going to cut off their tongues!!"

"----Keep killing!"

It was clearly less than 100 meters from the exit.

Chen Fei and his companions, however, found it extremely difficult to move forward, feeling as if they were in the deepest abyss.

Because the refresh rate of Special Infected is simply insane!

Just as Old Zhang blasted the Boomer with a shotgun shell, Smoker's long tongue suddenly shot out from the shadows, wrapped around a team member's neck, and dragged him directly into the sea of fire.

He had just killed Smoker.

Then laughter rang out again, and the Jockey arrived.

Add to that the blinding firelight, the acrid smoke, and the endless stream of ordinary Zombie charging in, as if they would never be killed.

It was incredibly oppressive.

In this narrow, burning, and severely obstructed floor, if it were any ordinary player team, or even a temporary squad lacking a bit of coordination, it would be extremely difficult.

When faced with Zombie Horde rushing towards you, Boomer blocking your movement, Jockey controlling you, and Smoker pulling you along, you will absolutely collapse immediately and be instantly overwhelmed by the surging Zombie.

But Old Zhang and his men were battle-hardened elites from the Jade Capital front. When one was captured, the other three immediately cleared the obstruction and provided cover.

Fill in the gap.

Although fraught with danger.

But each time, he managed to hold on, albeit barely.

"Stop fighting! Push forward!"

When the last bullets from the assault rifles were exhausted, the four men didn't even have time to reload.

Faced with the regrouping horde of zombies, Old Zhang pulled out a metal baseball bat, and Chen Fei grabbed Fire Axe. Together, they used their flesh and blood to carve a bloody path through the dense horde of Zombie.

Everyone's health bar is fluctuating wildly.

Nearly five minutes later.

They passed through the last plume of smoke.

Suddenly, everything became clear.

After dealing with the last wave of Zombie, the four finally entered the Safe Room.

The moment the door to the Safe Room closed.

Music begins.

We're safe—for now.

Look at the prompt that appears.

Temporarily?

Chen Fei slumped against the cold wall, exhausted, and slid to the ground. He looked at his teammates, covered in blood and in a sorry state, then at the prompt in front of him, and gave a bitter smile.

Is this really a copy tailor-made for soldiers?

On this stretch of road, if any one of the four of them made even the slightest mistake, or if anyone hesitated for even a second when facing the Special Infected, they would have been in grave danger.

They would definitely be wiped out in that sea of fire.

Old Zhang also leaned against the door, breathing in the relatively clean air Safe Room.

"At first, I thought Miss Lu Xiu had changed her ways, and that this instance was very easy."

Chen Fei sighed deeply and finally spoke, "Who could have imagined—"

I recalled what had just happened.

He really didn't know what to say.

The other two teammates also gave a wry smile.

"It's simple enough—haven't you noticed?"

Old Zhang also calmed down, put his arm on his knee, looked up at his teammates, and said calmly, "She does this with every dungeon. She will first use a gameplay style that has no barriers to entry, making players feel that everything is very simple."

And while players are immersed in the exhilarating feeling of crushing their opponents...

She'll suddenly throw out a difficult problem.

It forces players to learn and improve.

There were signs of this in previous instances, but I didn't really notice it because I always used a walkthrough to complete them.

But this is my first time seeing this instance.

Therefore, my feelings are particularly profound.

The gameplay in this dungeon currently only involves shooting and wielding melee weapons; everything else is just icing on the cake.

The core objective at present is only to fight Zombie.

Is it simple?

It's so easy, so easy that even a new recruit who has never been on the battlefield can get the hang of it in two minutes.

Was it fun?

Chen Fei's performance just now has shown that it was indeed exhilarating at first.

But that idea had just formed in his mind.

This is where the problem arises.

The challenge lies in how to survive and rebuild the team when faced with a constant stream of Zombie, disruptive special Infected, collapsing team formations, loss of vision for some members, and teammates on the verge of death.

"So do you understand now?"

"This is the exam paper Lu Xiu gave us, a copy tailor-made for us."

Old Zhang leaned against the door and continued, "That's why I said earlier that the dungeon is simple enough for us."

This instance, unlike other instances in Lu Xiu, doesn't test players' understanding of the system, enemies, or mechanics. Instead, it tests their use of firearms, teamwork, adaptability, and tactical execution—in other words, what we excel at.

Chen Fei was taken aback.

The other two were also taken aback.

It seems so—it really is true.

The three couldn't help but look at the closed security door, their expressions becoming somewhat complicated as they recalled their journey.

Is this the chief Architect of Nine Provinces?

Old Zhang glanced at it, then looked away and continued, "So, if we can't even get past this hurdle, then we should really find a block of tofu and smash our heads against it."
