Demigod Mage in America

Wade held a fire axe in his left hand and a tactical knife in his right.

He felt a mix of unease and excitement. The game notification told him that he could exchange the bounty for points as long as he completed a game.

Points can be redeemed for anything you want at a bar.

He initially thought it was a hoax, until he saw the zombie dogs roaming the streets, which confirmed that he had indeed entered a bizarre game.

So, confident in his own abilities and worried about his girlfriend, he decided to join the game.

As soon as he obtained his hunter identity, reality slapped him in the face.

He wasn't facing the slow-moving, vacant-eyed, and smellless zombies from those movies.

Instead, they are a group of mutated monsters who can use tools, move nimbly, and whose sense of smell and hearing remain at the level of ordinary people.

Furthermore, due to their zombification, they have lost the sense of pain and have thick skin, making them even more difficult to deal with than those he encountered in the Middle East.

Although you won't die as long as the health bar above your head doesn't empty after entering the game, the drawbacks are magnified in some aspects.

For example, bleeding and poisoning can cause a toxin that is not normally very strong to become a big problem.

Wade's current poison prevents him from using bandages or potions to heal; he must find a way to remove the poison.

Bleeding is manageable and can heal slowly over time, but poisoning... Wade checked his phone and saw that it had been 4 hours since he entered the game, with 2 more hours until the game ended.

He had been poisoned for half an hour, and with 20% depleted in half an hour, he would die before dawn.

So he had to find an antidote.

But the trouble doesn't end there. In addition to the common zombies, there are also some special monsters.

Faster than a regular dog, this zombie dog can poison anyone it bites; the wounds on his hands were left by those beasts.

But whether it was just his imagination or not, Wade always felt that those people were once human too.

However, these are not the main points; the main point now is that he needs to find an antidote.

He remembered there was a needle at the phone booth, but he didn't know if someone had taken it.

It's just that it was his first time playing the game, and he had no idea how terrifying these monsters were.

Therefore, he instinctively grabbed a set of bandages to stop the bleeding. However, he didn't bring any antidote.

At the time, I didn't think it would have any serious impact, but I never imagined it would become my own death knell.

He carefully avoided a bulky monster carrying a broken section of a street lamp, which sparked as it scraped against the ground.

Meanwhile, the monster has a health bar above its head, and its name is floating next to it.

[Bucket Zombie]

Upon seeing the name, Wade instinctively shifted his gaze to the top of the monster's head.

A round iron barrel was placed upside down on the zombie's head, completely blocking his vision, but it did not affect his movement at all.

This terrifying image reminded him of a monster in a horror game.

Pyramid head!

Wade didn't dare to breathe, huddled tightly behind the vehicle.

Although the game has changed some of the surrounding environment, it still retains some modern features.

For example, the streets are lined with parked private cars.

After the monster left, Wade dragged his exhausted body out, leaning on the trunk, and staggered across the street.

Moving will kill you, it's dangerous, but staying still will definitely kill you.

He was willing to pay any price to get back his girlfriend—no, now his fiancée, Elena.

After navigating through a series of alleys, Wade arrived at the intersection of Second Avenue and 100th Street.

There is an old red telephone booth here, and next to it is a wooden mailbox.

He remembered hearing that there was a box here containing an antidote.

Wade peered around cautiously, observing his surroundings, and only proceeded after confirming there was no danger.

He successfully found the box, which was hidden on the landline phone in the phone booth.

Because the box's color was similar to the landline phone, he probably wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't had good eyesight.

However, Wade could only be thankful that no one else had discovered it, otherwise he would have been dead.

Without any hesitation, he opened the box and took out the antidote.

A green liquid filled the glass tube, which was connected to a metal needle.

Seeing this antidote evokes a sense of nostalgia.

[Anti-poisoning syringe]: After use, it can relieve the poisoning state and slowly restore life.

Wade looked at the description of the item in front of him and, without hesitation, injected it into his vein.

He had already used another potion and had no doubts about the potions provided in the game.

He hasn't fainted yet, purely because he's been using a different medication.

[Endurance Potion]: Grants unlimited stamina for a period of time after use. (The effectiveness of this potion is related to the physical condition of the user.)

After taking this drug, his physical abilities even surpassed those of his former self when he was still serving in the military. He could run at full speed without stopping, with every step taken at his maximum speed.

He carried a huge pile of items on his back, but he didn't feel tired at all, and he wasn't even out of breath. If it weren't for the poisoning, he wouldn't even know what fatigue was.

This situation has persisted for over two hours now.

Wade could say that without this injection, he would have died several times over.

As the green medicine was injected into his body, a look of relief finally appeared on Wade's face.

He leaned against the phone booth, gaining a brief respite.

Who created this game? And for what purpose? Where did those monsters come from?

What happened to the two men I asked to help me find a fiancée?

One question after another swirled in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, Wade couldn't help but think of that strange combination.

A middle-aged white man and his young Asian follower? That's too strange.

Wade knew his blood was boiling and that this was a sign he was beginning to recover.

He had been in this adrenaline-fueled state for a while, with a calm mind, quick actions, and seemingly inexhaustible stamina.

bang bang... bang bang...

He could no longer think; an instinct compelled him to act.

Wade knew that this was the game's mechanics, and this instinct had been with him ever since he accepted it.

He glanced at the map.

Once you obtain a clue, the BOSS's location will remain displayed on the minimap.

If the BOSS icon starts flashing, it means there are other hunters nearby.

The barrel zombie roamed back again. Wade took a few deep breaths and, when it reached the car, resolutely rushed towards it.

He has a reason why he can't afford to lose!

Before the zombie could react, the sharpness of the fire axe allowed him to easily slice through its arm.

Then, spread out and try again!

The barrel zombie is only strong; it has no other special abilities.

In the face of a fire axe, all human protection is meaningless.

After smashing the zombie's head to pieces, Wade obtained a clue.

[Queen Bee Information]: The Queen Bee's fatal weakness lies in her head, hidden deep within her abdomen. It can split into offspring, is vulnerable to fire, and releases a large amount of venom upon death. Bounty +25

Wade was taken aback, then overjoyed.

This is a clue! He discovered it just now when he was talking to the hunters. Most of them only have the coordinates of the prey, but don't know any other information about the prey.

They could only fight with firearms; in other words, they won entirely because of the overwhelming firepower they amassed.

He now has no more than ten bullets left, leaving them little chance to waste.

Discovering this weakness in this situation is crucial!

"Weak fire?" Wade pondered for a moment, then ran towards the battlefield. He had a Molotov cocktail on him; perhaps he could give it a try.
