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

As soon as they entered the fire escape, Yi Zanglan turned on the chainsaw in his hand when he caught sight of the dark figure approaching.

However, she did not strike immediately. At the moment when she was posing an immeasurable threat to her opponent, her eyes darkened and she suddenly took a step back.

The sharp saw blade touched the stair railing, and sparks flew as the metal rubbed together.

At the same moment, the other party retreated abruptly, meeting her gaze from a distance.

...It wasn't a zombie, it was a young man.

The man was dressed in black, with a lean and upright figure, deep eyes, and very light lips.

Despite his strikingly handsome appearance, his eyes and brows seemed to be submerged in icy water, his spirit and soul cold, indifferent and aloof.

He stood there, and with the faint light from the fire escape, he finally saw Yi Zanglan's face clearly.

As the snow beneath his eyes melted, his breath caught in his throat, and his voice trembled for a moment.

"Lanlan?"

"...Ling Ye." Yi Zanglan leaned against the wall, sighing helplessly, "It really is you."

"You don't want it to be me?"

"This 'Doomsday Game' isn't a good place. The fact that you're here only means you're having a really bad time in real life. What hope is there?"

Ling Ye remained silent. He was a man of few words, and when he met an old friend for the first time, he was even more at a loss for words.

After waiting a few seconds without hearing him speak, Yi Zanglan asked, "How is your adoptive father?"

"He's dead." Ling Ye paused, then answered slowly, "He died four years ago in an internal conflict within the mercenary group."

"...And what about you?"

"I had my leg broken and was locked up in the border gladiatorial arena."

Yi Zanglan's expression darkened slightly, and he didn't ask any further questions, as asking any more would only touch a raw nerve.

She changed the subject: "Where are the junipers?"

"We had barely met when he relayed your message to me before he was teleported away by the system."

"I killed your teammate, I hope you don't mind."

Ling Ye calmly replied, "Zhang Xin isn't my teammate. Since you want to kill him, it means he deserves to die."

Yi Zanglan smiled: "So what are you going to do now, look for Du Songzi?"

"Yes, will you come with me?"

"No." She shook her head. "I have three people to save, I'm quite busy. See you later."

Ling Ye was taken aback: "Three people? It seems you didn't just form a team on the spot; you have a good relationship with them."

"It's alright, after all, one is my landlord, one is my mascot, and the other is someone who mixes perfumes for me in his spare time and has also given me money—I can't just abandon any of them."

Ling Ye couldn't quite understand what she was saying, but he didn't have time to ask her any further questions, because the sound of something crawling along the wall came again.

A new breed of zombies has arrived, and they are blocking the two people's only way through the fire escape, one in front and one behind.

Now, even if they don't want to confront it head-on, they have no choice.

"You go first, I'll go last; let's each handle our own affairs."

"OK."

Without uttering a single unnecessary word, Yi Zanglan immediately turned around, picked up his chainsaw, and faced the zombies that were about to launch a sneak attack from behind.

Ling Ye was carrying a metal baseball bat, which he had probably obtained from the clues. He quickly rushed towards another zombie downstairs.

The new zombies crawl fast, have an extremely strong bite, and their bodies are covered in green mucus that, like sulfuric acid, can corrode the skin if you're not careful.

It took the two a little effort to finally clear the obstacle. Although they were not injured, their coats were torn to varying degrees due to the slime, making them look quite disheveled.

"This is really troublesome."

Yi Zanglan lowered her eyes to look at her wrist. The color of her bracelet had turned noticeably dark, but it would probably take some more time before she could summon her weapon.

At the same time, the encyclopedia was activated, and the system sent a notification:

Jealous Zombie:

Strength ★★★

Defense ★★☆

Speed ​​★★★☆

Infection intensity ★★☆

[In a squad, defeating 40 vengeful zombies will earn you a weapon hint, a potion hint, or a vehicle hint. The reward will refresh once the requirement is met.]

So it was a jealous zombie; no wonder it exuded a venomous and twisted aura.

As the zombies become stronger, the required number of zombies will be halved; you only need to kill 40 to get the notification.

However, killing 40 animals now and then finding transportation would also waste a lot of time. Yi Zanglan himself didn't care, but Yan Zhao might not be able to wait that long.

Unfortunately, this themed competition completely exploited the weaknesses of a certain curse master.

She asked Lingye, "Do you have a car? A bicycle will do too."

"No." Ling Ye shook his head. "The car is with Qi Chuan. He's currently in District F. I'll take you to him."

The name Qi Chuan is unfamiliar; he's probably the remaining member of the Hunter Time and Space team.

However, Yi Zanglan was too lazy to ask any more questions; what she wanted was a solution.

First, go to area F to get the car, then go around to area A to find Yan Zhao, and finally try to meet up with Tang Yunxi and Shen Yubai.

It still sounds like a waste of time, but there really isn't a better way to go, so we have to do it this way for now.

"Let's go then," she said. "Thank you for your help."

Ling Ye paused slightly, turned his head, and gave her a deep look.

"You've never been this polite to me before."

"I'm not being polite to you," Yi Zanglan explained. "After all, this is a really troublesome matter, and your teammates might not be willing to lend you their car."

Her subtext was: her teammates were unwilling to lend her the car, and she might just steal it, but since the other party was Ling Ye's person, she should at least apologize first.

"It's alright, we're not friends, and I've saved his life twice," Ling Ye said gently. "He has no choice but to lend it to me."

"Thank you then."

Yi Zanglan didn't stop walking; she hurried downstairs while reaching out her hand to him.

The two high-fived with remarkable naturalness and practice, just as they had done countless times before.

……

However, plans always change with circumstances, especially for someone like Yi Zanglan.

She and Ling Ye worked together to fight their way out of Jinjiang Apartment. During this time, their zombie kill rate kept rising, and conservatively speaking, they would soon receive new hints.

Hopefully, Tang Yunxi's S+ luck will work. The team will share the battle results, and Tang Yunxi can operate directly in her own system interface. If the prompt indicates that the address is near her, then she and Shen Yubai can go and pick up the items first.

"……etc."

Yi Zanglan stood in front of the apartment door and raised her hand to stop Ling Ye.

Her gaze swept past the horde of zombies roaming the street and precisely locked onto a white sedan approaching from not far away.

Oh, that's great.

Who said she was unlucky? Although her luck was B, which was very average, she had picked up some of it from Tang Yunxi after spending so much time with her.

"You can go to section F yourself," she said. "I've decided to take a shortcut."

Before she finished speaking, she had already rushed to the middle of the road and used her chainsaw to cut the nearest arrogant zombie in half.

She forcefully threw the bloodied upper body of the zombie, covered in metal plates, at the windshield of the white car.

boom!

With a loud bang, the nearby zombies were instantly attracted and began to gather in groups of three or five, until they forced the car to stop.

The two people in the car originally intended to drive straight through, but their vision was blocked by half a zombie on the hood, and they were surrounded by a large number of zombies. Accelerating rashly would easily cause them to overturn.

So they hesitated for a moment and were forced to slow down.

The next second, blood splattered outside the car, and someone kicked the side window open, carrying a chainsaw as they jumped inside.

"Excuse me, could you make room?" Yi Zanglan placed the chainsaw on the driver's seat and said with a smile, "This vehicle is now under my command."

"..."

"If you can't drive it, I will."
