Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

Once Yi Zanglan summoned the Abyss Scythe, it immediately ignited the live stream. Currently, the number of viewers in her live stream has far surpassed He Yong and Xu Chenguang, and even exceeded Yan Zhao. Her ranking on the Rising Star List is constantly climbing.

[Wow, a death scythe! They actually have weapons that are that cool? I'm so drooling!]

[Being envious is useless. Unless it's a four- or five-star personal skill, the system will never give you this kind of weapon. We ordinary people can only look at it at best.]

I usually have to call anyone with a three-star skill a pro, but do four-star and five-star skills even exist? That would require an incredibly high talent rating!

"That's because you're ignorant. Every single one of those ancestors living in the Golden Zone has at least a four- or five-star skill. Otherwise, how could they have reached the Grandmaster or God-level?"

[Let's not talk about anything else, you know the Wild King of the Hunter Time and Space Team, right? It's said that with his five-star skill, he once wiped out twenty players in the same game, leaving not a single survivor. What does that mean?]

Then soon, some trolls came out to refute it.

[Hilarious! Yi Zanglan has only just entered the second game, and you're comparing her to the jungler king? That jungler king is a genuine Grandmaster I, about to reach God rank. You can't just try to out-level someone like that!]

[Idiot, is this your first time playing Doom? Does the strength of this game depend on the number of games played? Hard work is useful, but if you only work hard and don't have talent, and your performance in games is mediocre, you'll get very little experience points. No matter how many games you play, you'll just be crawling at a snail's pace, forever stuck in the low or mid ranks!]

[This madwoman unlocked her personal skill in the very first game. I suspect at least one of her talents is rated S+, otherwise why do you think the Cursed Mage would cooperate with her? The Cursed Mage must have gone all out!]

[I have a feeling that after this game, many teams will be vying for her. I need to talk to our captain!]

……

Inside the building, on the ninth floor of the apartment building.

Yan Zhao quickly finished wiping the ninth-floor corridor and was carrying a bucket of water to the eighth floor, not daring to delay for even a moment.

She understood that wiping the corridor was just a small task, not the main event of the night. The main event was to seal away Feng Xuan, who had mutated into a zombie.

She was worried that something might happen along the way, especially since Yi Zanglan was on the fifth floor, sandwiched between He Yong and Xu Chenguang.

Although Yi Zanglan didn't seem nervous at all, and even seemed a little excited, Yan Zhao was still a little worried because she had never actually fought alongside him.

As soon as she got down to the eighth floor, she saw Li Siqi wielding a mop with one hand, diligently mopping the corridor floor, working with great enthusiasm.

This guy, with such a serious shoulder injury, still thought about helping others.

"The eighth and ninth floors were originally my responsibility. Aren't you going to talk to Miss Su?"

"I've already made an appointment with Susu," Li Siqi said readily. "She'll meet up with Mr. Shen nearby. I'll come help you after I finish cleaning the seventh floor. Let's get this over with quickly."

"Thank you so much."

The two worked together to finish the cleaning task as quickly as possible. As they put down their tools and were about to go downstairs, they suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the fire escape not far away.

It was the sound of rustling footsteps, but it didn't sound like a normal person walking.

Yan Zhao immediately became alert. She gestured for Li Siqi to remain quiet, and pulled him back step by step, slowly approaching the stairs.

The next second, the overhead lights in the corridor flashed, and then a bony claw covered in dark fur was already on the fire escape door.

The tall, thin male corpse was dressed in tattered burial clothes, and the exposed skin had turned a horrifying bluish-gray.

Its body was probably shattered from the previous car accident and hastily sewn back together with needle and thread. Its face was severely sunken, and its two eyeballs were sticky and hanging out.

It staggered forward, its mouth, smeared with black blood, still chewing unconsciously, its eyes darting back and forth as it walked, like a detector searching for prey.

...Then it locked onto Yan Zhao and Li Siqi, who were standing there.

The corridor doors were tightly shut, offering no cover whatsoever, leaving the two completely exposed to its line of sight.

Li Siqi's heart pounded, and he asked Yan Zhao in a trembling voice, "This is Feng Xuan, isn't it?"

Yan Zhao nodded slowly: "Yes."

"So now we..."

"Run, as fast as you can."

The two turned around decisively and ran for their lives. Without any weapons, they would die if they faced the zombies. The only way out was to rejoin their teammates as soon as possible.

The zombies behind suddenly accelerated, leaving black footprints that spread like asphalt, creating a series of booming sounds that almost shook the ground into deep craters.

As it chased, it roared and pounded, causing large sections of the walls on both sides of the corridor to crack and dust to rise everywhere.

...What's terrifying is that a normal human can't outrun a crazed zombie at all.

The two had tried their best to escape, but they only made it to the sixth floor.

The roar drew closer, and a foul-smelling, cold wind swept in from behind; in the blink of an eye, they were within arm's reach.

At the critical moment, Li Siqi suddenly lunged forward to push Yan Zhao, making himself the zombie's primary target.

He avoided a fatal blow to the back, but half of his arm was still torn off by the zombie's claws. The bloody severed hand was thrown out and continued to tremble.

"what!"

He staggered and fell to the ground, his face pale. His will to survive made him struggle to get up, but he couldn't get up no matter what he did.

Yan Zhao hesitated for half a second, but it was only half a second.

She could have used Li Siqi to buy time, since the zombies would have prey and wouldn't be chasing her for the time being.

But Li Siqi's instinct just now was to save her. He was a good person, and even though good people usually don't live long in the game, she still couldn't bring herself to abandon him.

She wasn't exactly kind, but she had a conscience.

...These random thoughts only flashed through Yan Zhao's mind for a moment.

She pounced almost simultaneously, dragging Li Siqi away from the spot just before the zombie could launch its second attack.

She grabbed his intact arm and dragged him like a sack of potatoes, running wildly without looking back, leaving a trail of blood in her wake.

"Don't die!" she shouted as she ran. "You at least have to contribute something to the team, or say a few last words to your girlfriend, so hold on a little longer!"

These were hardly words of comfort, but they had a slight effect on Li Siqi, who was in a daze.

The barely alive Li Siqi: "I...I'll try my best...thank you..."

Unfortunately, the two didn't get very far, not even reaching the stairs leading to the fifth floor, before being caught up by the zombies again.

The zombie still had Li Siqi's severed hand in its mouth. It leaped into the air and landed, knocking Yan Zhao more than ten meters away.

Yan Zhao felt as if she had been blasted away by a cannon. When she fell to the ground, her bones felt like they were about to break, her blood was churning, and she almost fainted.

She lay there, and when she saw the dark figure approaching, she pulled Li Siqi to the side and closed her eyes helplessly.

She didn't let go of his hand, even though she thought she was being very loyal, but she couldn't run away, there was nothing she could do.

"How did you two end up being matched with my promotion match?"

She's always been unlucky, so the qualifying rounds are naturally doubly difficult.

……

However, the expected death did not occur.

The door to the fire escape on the sixth floor was suddenly kicked open.
