Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

As the zombies inside the internet cafe were cleared out, Qi Lin and the others picked up mops and began cleaning up the bloodstains on the floor, while Li Hu prepared to take stock of the supplies they had brought back.

Just then, Wang Jianguo and Li Dazhuang, who had just gone to check the private rooms on the second floor, stumbled back, their dark faces filled with terror.

"There are...there are zombies!"

"I see them! Lots of zombies upstairs!"

As soon as they finished speaking, a sound like an old bellows being pulled came from the second floor.

Heh...heh...

The voice was hoarse, as if it were being forced out of a crushed throat.

Qi Lin suddenly stopped holding the mop, and everyone else stood up straight and looked upstairs.

At the top of the stairs on the second floor, a large number of zombie figures slowly emerged.

One, two, three, too many to count, followed by many swaying shadows.

The zombies missed their footing at the top of the stairs and fell down the stairs like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Their stiff bodies slammed against the steps, tumbling and twisting until they reached the first floor.

Even with broken arms, they didn't care, dragging their severed limbs as they continued to crawl towards the group, their pale faces and cloudy eyes fixed on the people downstairs.

Everyone present was on high alert and instinctively hid behind Li Hu.

Of all these people, only Li Hu had a gun.

"Let's go quickly." Li Hu lowered his voice and led everyone out of the internet cafe.

There were at least a dozen zombies, and he didn't even have enough bullets to give each of them a single shot.

He gently closed the glass door, and the frosted glass reflected the swaying figures gathering towards the entrance.

"There are zombies there too!"

Lin Xingyu, with his sharp eyes, suddenly pointed at the figures surging towards the end of the corridor and exclaimed in surprise.

Damn it, he was attracted by the gunshots, Li Hu cursed inwardly.

Now we're truly caught between a rock and a hard place—in front of us are hordes of zombies pushing their way out of the internet cafe, and behind us is a new wave of zombies staggering into the corridor.

Everyone was desperately crammed into the small space at the entrance of the internet cafe.

Lin Xingyu started muttering incoherently, saying things like he was the protagonist and he wouldn't die here, while Zhang Cheng's legs trembled like a leaf.

Seeing the new recruits lose their fighting ability when faced with a crisis, Li Hu began to consider whether he should use these new recruits as cannon fodder and escape on his own.

After all, failing the tutorial mission might only result in losing some points, but dying here means you're really dead.

Just as Li Hu was planning to first recruit a few people to lure the zombies away...

A burst of intense machine gun fire came from afar.

Everyone looked up and saw a strange pair of people—Lu Ze looked utterly hopeless, while the silver wolf on his back was flushed with excitement.

Silver Wolf held a submachine gun in each hand, the muzzles spitting out orange-red flames as bullets rained down, wildly mowing down the zombies within his line of sight.

Zombies fell in droves amidst the barrage of comments, their heads exploding like smashed watermelons, and the walls of the corridor were smeared with fresh blood.

"Little Lu, hurry up and reload for me!" Silver Wolf finished firing two magazines and casually tossed the empty magazine to the ground.

Lu Ze freed one hand to take out two new magazines from his storage bag and handed them to her. The hand that was supporting her pert bottom subtly adjusted the pressure to prevent her from slipping off his back.

Silver Wolf was completely unaware of this. She took the magazine, quickly changed it, and continued to unleash firepower on the zombies surging towards the end of the corridor.

As for why Lu Ze was carrying Silver Wolf, the story begins ten minutes earlier.

Silver Wolf had just acquired her weapon and, feeling quite pleased with herself, immediately dragged Lu Ze to the area with the densest concentration of zombies and began mowing down the weakest of them all.

With two submachine guns in hand, Silver Wolf fired wildly, until all the magazines were empty and the surrounding area was a mess.

Broken glass windows, walls riddled with holes, and zombie remains lying haphazardly.

Blood and entrails were everywhere, covering the walls and the floor, and the stench of blood was so strong that even the air was tinged with a faint pink.

Silver Wolf naturally didn't want to step on the sticky, filthy blood on the ground.

Her eyes lit up, and an idea came to her.

"Xiao Luzi, come and carry me on your back."

Silver Wolf beckoned to Lu Ze, who was standing far away in a clean corner.

Lu Ze pointed to his face with his index finger, his face filled with disbelief.

You just treated me like a navigator, then you used me like a backpack, and now you want to use me as a mount?

Lu Ze, of course, resolutely refused, turning his head away and letting out a cold snort.

I am a dignified man, how can I be someone's tool!

Seeing that Lu Ze was ignoring him, Silver Wolf was not in a hurry. He slowly took out a small voice recorder from his hot pants pocket and pressed the play button.

The conversation between the two people in the hallway just now was clearly heard from the loudspeaker—

"If you take me to find the weapon, I'll help you catch up with Ah Xing... No problem... Deal..."

Lu Ze was horrified: "You actually recorded this! You have no sportsmanship!"

If this recording gets out, it will be disastrous. This kid must not be allowed to live.

Silver Wolf twirled the recorder between his fingers, a smug smile on his face:

"How about it, Xiao Luzi? Hurry up and carry me! You don't want Fu Xuan to hear this audio, do you?"

Looking at Silver Wolf's smug face, Lu Ze had no choice but to wade through the blood-soaked ground to reach her. He then knelt down in humiliation, allowing Silver Wolf to press herself against his back.

Hmph... A real man can bend and stretch.

"Yay! The Luze is starting up, about to execute scorched earth operations. Charge! Charge! Charge!"

Silver Wolf was thrilled to be able to control Lu Ze, and more importantly, she finally got a mount that would allow her to avoid stepping on blood.

What happened next is self-evident. Silver Wolf directed Lu Ze to sweep through the area until they arrived at the entrance of the internet cafe on the second floor.

At that moment, Silver Wolf poked its head out from Lu Ze's back, looking at the dumbfounded crowd at the entrance of the internet cafe.

She waved to them.

"Hey everyone, need fire support?"

Her words caused Lu Ze to retaliate by increasing the pressure on her pert bottom, and he sighed silently in his heart.

His reputation will probably be completely ruined today.
