Chapter 37: Samsara Factory
"A zombie?" Zhao Yuxin was somewhat incredulous, "Huff, puff~ can this zombie drive a car too?"
Zhu Zhiquan didn't waste words; he grabbed the zombie in the driver's seat and tossed it out. Zhao Yuxin took a look, and good heavens, there really were zombies that could drive.
"How dare you, zombie, you even dare to steal our car! Ajiu, don't help me, watch how I take this zombie down with ease!"
Zhao Yuxin suddenly stopped panting, threw all her weapons and armor into the Tricycle's cargo bed, and prepared to have a one-on-one duel with the zombie.
Zhu Zhiquan sat in the driver's seat, silently watching the show and murmuring, "Azhao should be able to handle one zombie, right?"
Zhao Yuxin arrived in front of the zombie; a breeze blew across her face, which was flushed from the chase. Zhao Yuxin struck a pose to provoke the zombie. The zombie emitted a slight trembling sound, and its body size immediately expanded dozens of times over.
Zhao Yuxin looked up at the zombie, a trace of embarrassment appearing on her face.
Three minutes later, Zhao Yuxin had been beaten by the zombie until her face was swollen, "Hmph! Damn zombie! I was just too tired from chasing the Tricycle earlier, do you dare to let me rest a bit before we fight again!"
The zombie nodded as if it had human intelligence, which made both Zhao Yuxin and Zhu Zhiquan feel surprised.
However, it was truly good news for Zhao Yuxin, so she sat in meditation on the spot, drank a few bottles of water, ate some food, and challenged the zombie to a duel once more.
Three minutes later, Zhao Yuxin pointed at the zombie and shouted, "I was going easy on you! This time I'm serious!"
Another three minutes passed, and Zhao Yuxin went 'whoosh' as she crashed into the Tricycle's canopy. She wiped her sweat and said, "Hmph! A mere zombie actually dares to hurt me! Let me tell you! This time I'm really serious!"
Another three minutes passed, "Hmph! I don't believe it! This time I'll use a sword, I should be able to defeat you."
Soon, three minutes went by; Zhao Yuxin was tossed back and forth by the zombie with one hand, and then with a forceful fling, Zhao Yuxin was thrown onto the Tricycle's driver's seat.
Just as Zhao Yuxin was about to land, Zhu Zhiquan caught her. Looking at Zhao Yuxin's state, Zhu Zhiquan couldn't bear it and said, "Azhao, if it's really not working, should I step in?"
Zhao Yuxin pushed him away and said defiantly, "What a joke! As if I can't beat it!" Having said that, she picked up a Dagger Spear from the cargo bed and dueled the zombie again.
After being repeatedly kneaded by the zombie, Zhao Yuxin finally succeeded in defeating it. In the driver's cab, Zhu Zhiquan only felt that Zhao Yuxin's current state was very similar to a friend of his playing Black Myth.
Zhao Yuxin jumped in front of Zhu Zhiquan and said, "Ajiu, how was that? Am I amazing?"
Zhu Zhiquan looked at the battered and bruised Zhao Yuxin, feeling somewhat reluctant to discourage her, "Amazing."
"Hmph, I told you that beating this little zombie would be a piece of cake for me, and I didn't even use my full strength. If I had used my full strength, I would have knocked the zombie down in one move!"
Zhu Zhiquan ignored the bragging Zhao Yuxin, took the Skinning Knife to dismantle the zombie, but after looking at the dismantled items, Zhu Zhiquan turned his head, tossed the remains aside, and returned to the Tricycle to get back on the road with Zhao Yuxin.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a factory. After they drove the Tricycle into the factory, they heard a system prompt.
"You have arrived at the Samsara Factory. You may choose whether or not to enter."
"Do you think we have the right to refuse?" Zhao Yuxin remarked, pointing at the cannons aimed at them.
After they entered the factory interior, a white light flashed, and Zhu Zhiquan and the others arrived at the factory parking lot. Above their heads was the number 8/10, and there was a sign in front.
Zhao Yuxin went to the sign and read aloud: "Rule number one of the game: The game will only begin after ten player vehicles have gathered;"
"Rule number two: Players who want to leave the factory alive must be in the top three in points, and points are primarily obtained from the prey killed by the player;"
"Rule number three: If players in the same vehicle die together, all points will be cleared. Killing the last surviving player in a vehicle allows one to inherit all their points;"
"Rule number four: After the game starts, previously deceased teammates will be resurrected, and as long as a player's teammate is not dead, the player can be resurrected after ten minutes and recover from all injuries except those to the soul."
"The game lasts for two hours, please give it your all, all players."
After reading the game rules, Zhao Yuxin returned to the cargo bed, lay on the rear window, and said, "Ajiu, I feel so nervous, are you nervous?"
Zhu Zhiquan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said, "Let's conserve our energy first, there are still two vehicles that haven't arrived anyway."
"Hmph! You sesame." Zhao Yuxin looked at the top left corner of the World Channel, "There are still 633 people, will half of them be left by the seventh day?"
"Forget it, I'll just take a nap first." Zhao Yuxin leaned against a pile of supplies and dozed off.
"Ding~ The number of people has reached the target, the game officially begins." The system prompt sounded in their minds. Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin came out of the parking lot together, and a group of zombies came into view.
"Why is it zombies again!" Seeing the zombies, Zhao Yuxin felt numb, and the scene of being abused by a zombie not long ago automatically replayed in her mind.
Zhu Zhiquan didn't care about that much; he raised his Dagger Spear and charged into the zombie horde, killing in all directions.
"Killed White-Eyed Zombie, points +1"
"Killed White-Eyed Zombie, points +1"
"Killed White-Eyed Zombie, points +1"
………………
Watching Zhu Zhiquan slaughtering in the zombie pile, the shadow in Zhao Yuxin's heart from being beaten by the zombie dissipated. She followed behind Zhu Zhiquan to kill the remaining zombies, eventually obtaining 32 points.
"Hmph! I could have handled these little zombies all by myself!" Zhao Yuxin stood with her hands on her hips, looking proud.
Zhu Zhiquan didn't speak, only signaling for Zhao Yuxin to hurry and keep up.
"Can't you praise me, you sesame!?" Zhao Yuxin had no choice but to follow.
Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin arrived in front of a building that looked like a warehouse gate. Zhu Zhiquan was just about to push open the warehouse gate when Zhao Yuxin pulled him several meters away, and a pair of sharp claws immediately burst out from the spot where Zhu Zhiquan had been standing.
"Who are you! Why are you attacking us!" Zhao Yuxin drew her Dingtang Sword and pointed it at the ground, while Zhu Zhiquan also held his Dagger Spear horizontally in front of him.
A mole wearing casual clothes, looking much like a human, crawled out from the ground. Furthermore, it could be seen from its eyes that this was actually a player.
The player turned into a mole said contemptuously, "It's simple, of course, to eliminate you! After all, without competitors, we are naturally in the top three, or even first."
"Then what about your teammate? Why are you hiding behind that car? Are you planning to ambush us!?" Zhao Yuxin asked, pointing at the sedan in the distance.
Seeing that she had been discovered, a woman walked out from behind the sedan. She was carrying a pile of Short Spears and holding one in her hand.
Seeing that there was no possibility of peace talks, Zhu Zhiquan struck first. The Mole Player did not show weakness and confronted Zhu Zhiquan head-on. The woman threw a Short Spear at Zhao Yuxin; the Short Spear suddenly grew two or three times larger in mid-air and flew toward Zhao Yuxin.
Zhao Yuxin dodged the incoming attack by lying down, then raised her hand and shot an arrow at the woman.
Whoosh~
Puchi~
The Crossbow Bolt pierced through the woman's shoulder. Zhao Yuxin scrambled up and charged at the woman with her sword. The woman used her other hand to pull out a Short Spear and hid back behind the sedan.
Zhao Yuxin loaded a Crossbow Bolt into her Wrist-Mounted Strange Crossbow on the way, and when she reached the sedan, she stabbed at it. The woman also stabbed at Zhao Yuxin with her Short Spear at this moment.
