Protagonist:

Shen Yao

Don't underestimate the electric scooter just because its speed can't compare to a car; its speed still reaches heights unattainable by two legs.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen hurried on their way, and unless they encountered special circumstances, they wouldn't stop.

This approach greatly avoided certain troubles, after all, the population of Dongshan City could be called terrifying; once the initial chaos passed, how much havoc the entire city could wreak, no one dared to pat their chest and guarantee.

Only by leaving this place of right and wrong in advance could one be considered to have avoided trouble.

"It's dark, let's find a place to stay the night."

Xu Ningchen stopped the electric scooter and followed to a dilapidated storefront, looking left and right, confirming there was no problem inside, before calling Shen Yao behind him to quickly follow.

The things in the electric scooter were all moved into the storefront, including the two electric scooters which were also placed in hidden corners; under the pitch-black night, whatever one did would be magnified. Xu Ningchen took out food, found a clean spot, and together with Shen Yao filled their empty bellies.

No lights were lit, no fires were started; the two relied on the light from their phone's front camera, only minding this small plot of land before them.

The phone's light was feeble, and the network signal on it had also disappeared.

What Shen Yao could currently view were all contents downloaded previously; besides that, she could also rely on the system's light to understand the latest situation in Dongshan City.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Host, that place is in great chaos," the system particularly disdained this novice mission, because the setting content was too rigid, with no innovation at all.

Shen Yao felt the system was just full and had nothing better to do; the systems here were inherently of a different school from it. What was the use of criticizing with just words? Drawing on each other's strengths to make up for weaknesses was the only way for a system to constantly improve.

System:...

The system refused the PUA from the Host, after all, the systems here were on par with it, and it was merely a system with a child-bearing mission; how could it compare?

One person and one system just complained to each other like this, not saying much specifically, after all their time was tight; the longer they dragged on, the more dangerous Dongshan City became. They had already stayed in Dongshan City for almost three days, getting closer and closer to the tourist town outside Dongshan City, and likewise closer and closer to the stipulated seven-day time limit.

They took turns keeping watch, persisting for the whole night, and early the next morning the two hurriedly got up and left.

Unfortunately, their luck was poor this time; as soon as they went out, they ran into mutated corpses head-on. Corpses that had evolved for several days had slightly enhanced mobility; although they couldn't compare to normal humans, their running ability and skin hardness had significantly improved.

Helpless, the two could only take out weapons and fight these mutated corpses.

Shen Yao's arm ached from the shock, and even her wrist had a faint swelling problem.

Mounting the parked electric scooter, the two left the messy scene and headed for the tourist town not far away.

Chengshunshui Town

This was the name of the tourist town; inside, waterways were densely distributed, a place for cooling off and enjoying the cool in summer.

Because the town was a result of adapting measures to local conditions, all the flowing water was living water.

Initially, they two deduced that this was a safety zone possibly established by the Official, the reason being the inexhaustible water, and Chengshunshui Town had passage entrances in all directions; as a transfer station, going anywhere was very convenient.

Certainly, choosing a relatively closed area as a safety zone would greatly increase the possibility of survival, but people always had to leave themselves a retreat route.

Chengshunshui Town was a chess piece that could advance to attack and retreat to defend; no matter how one moved, one could survive.

The battery on the electric scooter was about to run out; they could only rely on their legs to hurry on their way.

It wasn't that they hadn't thought about relying on cars as a means of transportation, but who let the cars on the road be in such poor condition? The closer to the exit of Dongshan City, the more chaotic it was.

"There are too many clever people."

For example, during holidays, many people, in order to avoid traffic jams, all ran away early; as a result, the road was full of cars, because everyone thought they were clever people.

Shaking her head, Shen Yao pedaled the electric scooter, holding in her hand an iron axe that kept dripping blood. When encountering mutated corpses rushing over, she delivered a horizontal chop with one knife, directly severing their heads, killing them on the spot.

"Go further ahead, and that's the road to Chengshunshui Town."

They hurried slowly and finally left Dongshan City; the mission was half completed.

Xu Ningchen pushed his glasses and mentioned again that this time they should return to the hotel to rest, and if possible, seize the time to enter the third novice mission. Going to the Infinite World earlier would allow them to make preparations earlier.

Such immense power could not be dealt with by modern society's technology; the only thing ordinary people like them could do was adapt to survive.

Two electric scooters hurried one after the other; when they truly left Dongshan City, the originally crowded avenue suddenly became much cleaner.

There were still parked cars around; Xu Ningchen and Shen Yao looked at them one by one, and by the way disposed of the mutated corpses inside.

Usable ones, unusable ones, large space, small space... sorting through them all the way, they finally chose a van that could carry goods.

The electric scooters were placed at the back, along with several cardboard boxes filled with supplies. There were bloodstains on the front driver's seat; now that they had coagulated, they weren't easy to clean.

Helpless, they could only simply wipe them, then stepped on the accelerator and directly hit the road, heading for Chengshunshui Town.

Cars were indeed faster than electric scooters. Shen Yao, taking advantage of sitting in the passenger seat, turned sideways to look at the scenery flashing by outside the window.

"If we hurry at full speed, we only need one day to reach Chengshunshui Town."

They were currently on the fourth day of staying in Dongshan City, having come out of Dongshan City.

Seven days; said to be long, not long; said to be short, not short.

As long as they didn't encounter too much trouble on the road, they would still have time left upon reaching Chengshunshui Town.

The phone still had no signal; even the radio inside the phone couldn't receive news sent out by the Official.

Fortunately, the system kept revealing the situation to Shen Yao, saying on one hand that the Official was establishing safety zones, and saying on the other hand that Dongshan City was beyond saving; those people attacking one another would probably turn the entire city into a dead city.

Chengshunshui Town was indeed a safety zone, except that it was currently in the midst of urgent renovation; after they went there, they would still have to work.

Shen Yao was speechless: "We only need to reach Chengshunshui Town to clear the level."

As for the work the system mentioned? It had nothing to do with Shen Yao and them at all.

And this wasn't the real world; it was merely a virtual scene evolved from something. Most of the people inside had rather rigid settings; speaking and acting followed a certain logic. Once someone jumped out, they could only stare with wide eyes, at a loss.

After hurrying for half a day, with half a day left to reach Chengshunshui Town, the van was forced to stop in front of a small village full of potholes and traps.

It was remarkably similar to the previous interception; the only difference was that these people were not simple villagers, but villains with amplified desires.

Xu Ningchen and Shen Yao originally did not intend to cause trouble and invite disaster; helplessly, they were willing to yield, but the other side was unwilling to compromise.

The result of being pressed step by step was to have a fight; whether they could win or not, they would only know the result after trying.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen had weapons and coordination, plus they had performed excellently in the previous novice mission, so dealing with a few thugs was child's play.

Bang bang bang!

The originally arrogant thugs covered their cheeks and wailed in sorrow; they never expected that they wanted to rob a fat sheep, but the fat sheep turned around and became a vicious wolf, directly treating them as the fat sheep to be robbed.

The wording is a bit convoluted, but the final outcome for both sides goes without saying — Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen won a complete victory, while the few thugs responsible for blocking them were covered in injuries, their lives hanging by a thread.

Interrogating the situation in the village, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen understood this place was not suitable to stay long; they swiftly filled in and dealt with the trap before them, and the two drove the bread van away with a stomp on the gas.

Not long after they left the trap, the villagers originally hiding in the village came out; seeing their companions who had been dead for a long time, even wanting revenge they were powerless, so they could only turn elsewhere to vent their anger.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen, two fists against four hands, could not possibly clear out all the danger in the village; on the road Shen Yao lowered her head pondering how to handle such a thing next time, and the conclusion she reached was simply that outsmarting was best.

Sigh

'Hope to enter the Infinite World as soon as possible; the rules there are certainly more complete.'

Including physical enhancement and ability development, none are comparable to the Infinite Hotel.

Leaving one step early means getting ahead by a lot; Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen's chances of facing such miserable scenes in the future will not decrease, so for their own safety they must continuously accumulate strength to live well.

The bread van continued forward; the problems encountered along the way were not major, and after resolving them smoothly they saw the outline of a small town in the distance appear before their eyes.

Noticing the sky color turning dark, the two still hurried all the way upward.

Until they were stopped and inspected by Official Personnel holding firearms at the doorway, they then smoothly passed the fence and steadily entered this newly established Safety Zone.

Ding—

Shen Yao's mind went blank for a moment, only hearing that she had safely cleared the stage; not only did she securely obtain fifteen points, but this body repair only cost zero point five points.

Counting the points from the first mission, Shen Yao now held twenty-three point five points in hand; she didn't know if this counted as much or little, but compared to Xu Ningchen's twenty-four points it was not far off.

The room was still the previous scene, only the text on the room card had disappeared, and the originally occupied room changed to 9012.

Rummaging through their own supplies, the two once again rode the points up to the ninetieth floor to rest.

"There are three days of rest after mission completion, only then will novice missions and options appear," they currently could do nothing except go to 9001 to investigate.

"Let's go check the situation at room 9001 first," when at the sixtieth floor, the rule there was that one-thirty in the afternoon was the information exchange time for the entire floor; now moved to the ninetieth floor, they didn't know if there would be other changes.

Shen Yao stood up, and together with Xu Ningchen headed to the room at the very edge.

Rooms that passed two novice missions and rooms that passed one novice mission were largely the same; even the rooms used for exchanging information were very similar.

And the higher they went, the fewer people who passed; when the two entered, inside 9001 there were only a few unfamiliar faces huddled together not speaking.

Seeing newcomers arrive, the few people froze in place, followed by someone unknown laughing, which counted as opening the conversation box and didn't let the atmosphere turn cold.

However both sides were not very familiar; let alone asking each other's names, even saying a bit of information required drawing a question mark in their hearts.

Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen knew this wouldn't do, so they could only patiently stay in the room waiting for others.

They waited like this until evening; more and more people came over, and only then did they suddenly realize — originally the gathering time for people here was in the afternoon.

Because they had no information that could be traded, Shen Yao perfectly displayed her skill of listening more and speaking less; no matter who asked she just smiled and hedged, until the people in the room became fewer and fewer, then they returned to 9012 to rest.

Raising a hand to stifle a yawn, Shen Yao expressed that today's time was somewhat wasted, "Still need to enter the Infinite World as soon as possible."

Novice missions are like a threshold testing them, blocking there letting them see unclearly and touch impenetrably.

If one must put it into words, to avoid viewing flowers in fog, one must still experience it personally.

"Once the three days arrive, we'll enter the novice mission."

No need to deliberately wait for any timing; Xu Ningchen also realized staying in the Infinite Hotel had no benefit, better to enter the Infinite World to investigate.

At least like those points, once they enter the Infinite World they'll be able to know what all these can be used for; while in the Infinite Hotel, day after day either staying in the room or running to investigate news passed who knows how many hands, useless and boring.

Shen Yao agreed with Xu Ningchen's words; the two simply rested well in the room for three days.

When the time passed, the back of the room card once again popped up an entry countdown. The option was only one: Wilderness.

Wilderness?

Wilderness survival?

Or wilderness escape?

Borrowing the two words "wilderness", Shen Yao constantly radiated her thoughts outward; the first thing she thought of were those documentaries once filmed.

After all, beasts run rampant in the wilderness; it is the easiest place for accidents to happen.

To be singled out by the system, obviously one careless moment could take their lives.

"Fear is fear, but we need to rely on our own capabilities to survive in the wilderness."

Xu Ningchen wasn't worried about himself; he worried Shen Yao's body couldn't endure it. Even though Shen Yao performed well in the recent two novice missions, she was still an unmistakable pregnant woman.

Pregnant woman? Going to the wilderness?

Just putting these two words together, Xu Ningchen couldn't bear to think further.

Without waiting too long, after filling their bellies, the two swiftly entered the instance, choosing to directly participate in their third novice mission.

Whoosh—

A ding sound timely appeared in their minds, reminding them to live smoothly here for fifteen days; success would earn a thirty-point reward.

There was no other clearance path, only this one: stay alive.

Beneath their feet was moist land; the fragrance of earth lingered at their noses.

Shen Yao looked toward Xu Ningchen not far away; the two people just stood there like that, until a burst of birdsong came from the distance, then they collected their expressions and observed the surroundings.

This truly counts as wilderness!

Besides mountain forest trees, there was not a trace of human habitation.

A not-too-large sun hung in the sky; the surrounding temperature was still a bit low; Shen Yao raised her hand and rubbed her goosebumps all over, finally discussing with Xu Ningchen and deciding to head into the dense forest to check the living environment and water source distribution.

Fifteen days

They currently could be said to be empty-handed; besides that vehicle bound but not yet taken out, they couldn't even find a place to set foot.

Take it slow!
