Mission

"Welcome, great conductors... I am the last employee of this farmstay. Before you arrived, a catastrophe struck this place. The zombie virus kept spreading, infecting everyone... Cough, cough. As you can see, this place has long since lost its former peace and tranquility."

He was a skinny old man with dark skin and not a scrap of flesh on his face, leaving only a layer of skin clinging to bone. He looked especially horrifying.

As he spoke in a weak, feeble voice, violent coughing wracked him.

"I know conductors are all extraordinarily capable, so I hope you can do me a favor and clear out all the zombies here. If you can complete the mission within the allotted time, I will give each of you a generous reward."

Immediately afterward, a prompt appeared before everyone.

[Mission Issued: Clear the Farmstay Zombies]

[Mission Time: 30 minutes]

[Mission Reward: Different rewards based on individual performance]

[Zombie Count: 200]

There were missions too...

Lu Xingyuan was somewhat surprised. This was his first time encountering one, and he could not help finding it novel.

"This mission looks a little dangerous. Who would have thought a tiny farmstay would have two hundred zombies..."

"Kill two hundred zombies in half an hour... Isn't that a little too difficult?"

While the other two male conductors clearly showed their reluctance, Sun Yi waved a hand.

"We're taking this mission!"

"We...?"

The two male conductors exchanged glances, then both looked at Sun Yi.

Sun Yi said coldly, "No matter how weak you are, surely you can kill at least one zombie?"

Two hundred zombies still put some pressure on him, so he absolutely could not fight alone. He had to make use of every available source of strength.

He did not expect them to play any particularly crucial role, but every zombie they could help kill counted.

Besides, rewards were distributed according to individual performance, so he did not have to worry about everyone getting an equal share.

What was more, there was Lu Xingyuan.

Sun Yi looked over at him.

Since this guy had become the first conductor to reach Level 2, he had to have some real ability.

Lu Xingyuan nodded. "I have no problem with it."

See? This guy was so confident. That said it all.

The two big shots in the group had spoken, so the others naturally had no choice. They could only force themselves to join in.

The instant the countdown officially began, the previously dead-silent farmstay suddenly came alive.

Hideous, terrifying zombies seemed to be activated as they emerged from every corner.

Some wore the farmstay's work uniforms—waiters, chefs, and lobby managers.

Others were tourists who had come to visit the farmstay, men and women, young and old.

Now, following the scent of living people, they continuously closed in on Lu Xingyuan and the others.

Sun Yi took a deep breath, his gaze turning vicious.

"Just in time!"

But before he could show off, gunfire rang out beside him!

"Rat-tat-tat!"

Bullets poured wildly from the muzzle like a dense rainstorm, striking the zombies with precision.

The zombies' heads burst one after another like watermelons, brains splattering everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, five or six zombies had died on the spot.

They were all the most ordinary Level 1 zombies, so killing them took no effort at all for Lu Xingyuan.

Since rewards were based on individual evaluations, Lu Xingyuan naturally had to perform well. He could not slack off; he had to strive for the best and highest-quality reward.

The sight instantly delighted the other two male conductors.

"What insane firepower!"

"We really have a chance now!"

Having seen hope, they immediately became more proactive, trying every possible way to kill zombies in the hopes of earning richer rewards.

Sun Yi's expression, however, turned dark and unpleasant.

He swiftly pulled a silver pistol from his pocket and opened fire almost petulantly, wanting to suppress Lu Xingyuan's momentum.

A bullet accurately entered a zombie's skull, instantly blasting its body apart!

The power of his pistol was actually greater than Lu Xingyuan's submachine gun!

Clearly, this was no ordinary pistol.

This naturally made Sun Yi feel much better. He pulled the trigger again and again, an excited, wild gleam flashing across his face.

"Die!"

In an instant, the zombies blocking the farmstay entrance had been cleared out.

The mission panel clearly showed the remaining zombie count: 143.

"We need to take the initiative."

Sun Yi said coldly, "There's a time limit. If we passively stand here and wait, the mission will fail sooner or later."

But before he even spoke, Lu Xingyuan had already taken the initiative and headed deeper into the farmstay.

Sun Yi drew a deep breath and did his best to control his emotions, keeping himself calm.

"Follow him!"

Gunfire rang out continuously, and more and more zombies fell.

The two of them had truly terrifying firepower, achieving absolute suppression.

Even the bespectacled girl, who was too weak to fight a chicken, managed to snag a kill and take down a zombie. She could not help sighing from the bottom of her heart, "It really is great following the big shots!"

If she were alone, how could she possibly have had a chance to solo a zombie?

But when the zombie count dropped to 100, a Level 2 zombie appeared!

[Speed-Type Zombie]

[Level: 2]

[Description: A form evolved from ordinary zombies in pursuit of living creatures. Its body is lean, its limbs long, and its joints can bend backward. Its grayish-white skin clings tightly to its body, and bone spurs protrude from its spine. Its burst speed can reach 60 km/h, it can run across vertical walls, and its nails are hardened like hooked claws.]

It appeared first before Lu Xingyuan.

Its body was lean, yet it stood a full 1.8 meters tall!

Its limbs were long, its muscles pressed tightly against its bones, and its grayish-white skin was taut enough for the patterns of its blood vessels to be clearly visible. Bone spurs bulged from its spine.

As it faced Lu Xingyuan, its head twitched repeatedly, and its eyeballs trembled violently.

It was far too excited!

For some reason, Sun Yi could understand what the creature was feeling.

Fire!

Lu Xingyuan reacted even faster than Sun Yi had imagined. The instant the speed-type zombie appeared, he pulled the trigger without hesitation. The muzzle turned into a dazzling tongue of flame, and bullets bombarded the creature continuously as if they cost nothing!

That weapon... was no ordinary item.

Sun Yi's heart stirred.

He had observed more carefully than the others. Since the battle began, Lu Xingyuan had not reloaded even once. That gun seemed as if it did not require bullets at all.

By contrast, he had already changed magazines several times. Although he was the vice president of the Mutual Aid Association and had considerable resources, he could not afford this kind of expenditure. Every bullet he fired made his heart ache.

In terms of pure destructive power, my gun might be stronger. However, with the trait of "unlimited ammunition," his gun far surpasses mine in both practical combat value and overall quality.

How nice.
