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

The newly emerged lizard-like zombie can turn invisible, is strong, has a clear target, and possesses a certain level of intelligence.

Unlike other zombies that relentlessly pursue and attack, they change their attack strategies based on the real-time situation, catching players off guard.

Moreover, the tailbone of these zombies is unusually hard, and once caught, escape is almost impossible.

Shen Yubai was caught off guard. He was thrown high into the air by the zombie and fell to the ground. He didn't even have a chance to pick up his shield. He could only watch helplessly as the zombie pressed down on him like a mountain, extending its sharp claws to rip into his heart.

He instinctively reached out with his entrenching tool to try and block, but he knew it wouldn't do any good; he was probably going to die there.

...However, it turned out that as long as the captain didn't allow him to die, he wouldn't die.

Yan Zhao was only inches away from Shen Yubai. Her instinct was to race against the zombie and see if she could drag Shen Yubai away.

But someone was faster than her.

At the critical moment, Yi Zanglan grabbed Qin Shaoyu by the collar and shoved him towards Shen Yubai's position.

The attack was precise and ruthless, so powerful that Qin Shaoyu felt as if he were caught in a tornado. He had no time to resist and was sent flying like a cannonball.

stab-

He fell onto Shen Yubai, and at the same time felt a chill down his back, as if something had been torn apart.

The pain came a little later, and then, like a tide, it spread throughout his body along with the gushing blood.

"Aa ...

A deep, bone-revealing wound was slashed open on his back by the claws of a zombie, the flesh torn open, a horrifying sight.

He made eye contact with Shen Yubai beneath him for a moment, and then Shen Yubai lifted him up.

Shen Yubai held the entrenching tool upside down and faced the zombie, while Qin Shaoyu fainted on the spot.

……

Qin Shaoyu had no idea what happened afterward or how he was dragged away.

He even thought he was dead until he was jolted awake by the jolting of the vehicle and vaguely heard people talking next to him.

"Hey, Brother Shen, the back row is so cramped."

"Bear with it for a bit, let me finish this injection. He's lost too much blood, if we don't use the No. 1 medicine soon, he might die in no time."

"To be honest, if he hadn't actually protected me in the car just now, I wouldn't have let him lie on my lap."

"Looking at it this way, he's not so bad after all?"

I guess so.

Qin Shaoyu weakly opened his eyes and stubbornly uttered, "I... I'm not as bad as you guys!"

Tang Yunxi looked down in surprise: "Oh my, you're awake? How are you feeling?"

"Why don't you try getting scratched by a zombie?"

"Mr. Qin, don't worry too much." Shen Yubai waved the No. 1 syringe in his hand and comforted him gently, "This medicine is very effective. Your bleeding has stopped and the wound is slowly healing—thank you for your heroic rescue just now."

"...Was it my idea to save them? Didn't your captain just throw me there?"

Shen Yubai nodded: "Of course, I also want to thank Lanlan."

"You're welcome," Yi Zanglan in the passenger seat said calmly. "We're teammates, it's nothing."

"You did me a tiny favor, I almost lost my life!!" Qin Shaoyu was in excruciating pain, his expression filled with grief and rage. "I hate you bunch of bastards!"

Tang Yunxi asked curiously, "Many people hate us, who do you think you are?"

"..."

He almost fainted from anger again.

Yi Zanglan was injured after killing three high-level zombies, so Yan Zhao is now driving.

Yan Zhao drove very steadily, observing the terrain ahead while occasionally glancing at Yi Zanglan.

"Are you okay? Does it hurt?"

"It's alright, just a minor injury."

"No, the bleeding is quite severe, you need to get an injection too," Yan Zhao said seriously. "You need to preserve your mental strength. This is only the fifth type of zombie; there are still two more to come, and I don't even want to think about them."

Yi Zanglan grunted in agreement and immediately took another vial of the No. 1 medicine and injected it into her own muscle.

The bone spikes on the back of that zombie were extremely sharp, leaving deep wounds on her arms and calves. Now, thanks to the medicine, the bleeding wounds are slowly healing.

Tang Yunxi rummaged through her backpack, grabbed two pieces of chocolate, and handed them to Yi Zanglan along with bread and milk.

"Lanlan, are you hungry? Eat more!"

Yi Zanglan took it, broke off half and fed it to Yan Zhao, then stuffed the rest into her own mouth.

She was hungry, truly hungry, and needed to replenish her food and calories to sustain herself.

Yan Zhao asked again, "Does it hurt?"

"Yes, but it's definitely not as much as the God of Wealth's pampering."

Qin Shaoyu lay in the back row, barely breathing, just one step away from dying of anger.

Yi Zanglan stopped teasing him. She opened the system interface and saw that the new illustration guide had been unlocked.

Obsessive Zombie:

Strength ★★★★

Defense ★★★

Speed ​​★★★★

Infection severity ★★★☆

[In a squad, defeating 10 Obsessive Zombies will earn you two weapon hints, potion hints, or vehicle hints. The rewards will refresh once the conditions are met.]

This time, the number of zombie kills required has been significantly reduced, and even the number of prompts has increased.

But the difficulty is also obvious, after all, they went to great lengths to kill only three, and they still need to kill seven more to exchange for a hint.

"We have one more hint," Yan Zhao said. "It's in Zone E. I just confirmed it. It's a pizza shop. I chose the weapon."

This hint was obtained by everyone from killing low-level zombies in the department store. She used it casually, and since her luck is currently S+, the address is very close and easy to find.

"Choosing a weapon is a good idea." Yi Zanglan nodded calmly. "You also need a suitable weapon. That boning knife isn't very effective against the current high-level zombies."

The ordinary weapons that players find randomly in the game and the special weapons specially distributed by the system have fundamentally different killing power against zombies.

To deal with the upcoming advanced zombies, equipping ourselves with special weapons is essential.

She then added, "Everyone, please report your mental strength. I'm at 88 right now."

"I'm also '88," Shen Yubai said. "Yunxi is '90."

Yan Zhao replied, "I checked it before I drove, it's 94."

Players with high mental strength are less affected by the virus-infected air, and even if they bleed or get injured, their mental strength decreases relatively slowly.

The four-person team has relatively high overall mental strength, and even Tang Yunxi is A-. So, despite going through many battles, their current mental strength is still within a normal and controllable range.

Yi Zanglan glanced back at Qin Shaoyu and asked calmly, "Where is he?"

Qin Shaoyu reluctantly looked at his system interface, and upon seeing it, he became even more defensive: "...60".

After all, he had just suffered a near-fatal injury. Only by quickly using the No. 1 potion was he able to stop the damage in time. Otherwise, even if his mental strength was S, it would probably have dropped below the passing grade.

"Your mental state is almost failing," Yi Zanglan sighed. "And I feel like you have a lot of complaints about us, right?"

Qin Shaoyu hesitated: "Should I say yes or no?"

"It's okay. What I mean is, if you have any objections, I'll give you a break now, and then we'll get off-road vehicle access directly, okay? That way, both of us will be satisfied."

"...Sister! How could I possibly have a problem with that? We've been through thick and thin together, I'm already a member of your team, sister! I'm an unofficial member of Black Wind Stronghold!"

Yan Zhao, who was focused on driving, suddenly slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

"I've already said, nobody agrees to the team being named Black Wind Stronghold!"
