The male supporting character was actually myself.

Everything happened in a very short time. After she fends off the zombies and draws their attention, Wang He and the others finally reacted.

Master Qian was so frightened that he turned around and rushed to the corner of the vault, afraid of being caught by the zombie.

Wang Weizhuo, whose eyes were filled with nothing but gold, was stunned. There was even more gold below! He let out a strange howl and jumped down, rushing towards the largest gold brick.

The other extras scrambled and crawled out of the courtyard to escape.

"It's time to fight to the death!" Wang He took a deep breath; he knew he couldn't escape this calamity.

You can't rely on professional actors; they all have the production team secretly protecting them when it matters.

Of course, the most authentic and highest-rated programs are those created by the hard-working viewers.

"Let's go, hopefully good luck will continue to favor us." Liu Yihong picked up a handy rafter from the ground and followed Wang He's footsteps as he climbed up the wooden beam into the yard. At this moment, the zombie was chasing Qin Xiaoyao and jumping towards the wall.

Without any suitable tools or clues to subdue the zombies, Liu Yihong had no confidence whatsoever in fighting the zombies by hand.

He is now pinning all his hopes on the audience.

As long as the plot is thrilling enough, the production team will take the opportunity to make money by having them spend money to buy props.

Based on the show's past practices, although they can't directly subdue the zombies, they can definitely use props to keep everyone in balance and prevent them from being easily killed.

"Come on, it's time to show off the fans' money power!" he shouted in his heart, glancing at the dark sky, but there was nothing there except a hazy moon shrouded in clouds.

The props purchased by the audience—the sparkling dandelion parachute symbolizing hope and accompanied by background music—have vanished without a trace.

Did I or Wang He not perform well enough?

Or did the production team set the price of the props too high, and they couldn't raise enough funds to unlock them in a short time?

"I'll lure it away first; Xiao Yao, go find a suitable weapon; Yi Hong, go find water!" Wang He jumped out of the pit and picked up a brick, smashing it against the back of the zombie's head. "With water blocking our breath, the zombie won't be able to 'see' us!"

Without outside assistance, he didn't want to just wait around.

Qin Xiaoyao is quite capable in combat. As long as we can stall for time so she can find a suitable weapon, we have a chance to win even without unlocking items to help her.

"Roar!"

The incompletely evolved zombie was obviously not very intelligent. After hopping around and poking a few times without catching Qin Xiaoyao, it was hit and sensed a human with a stronger aura closer behind it. It jumped up, turned in the air, and thrust its straight arms directly at Wang He's heart!

Having landed a successful blow, Wang He didn't linger and turned to run away, relying entirely on his strong physique to dangle the zombie like a kite.

The zombies were hot on his heels. Reminded by Mr. Devil, Qin Xiaoyao shouted, "If we don't find a way to get rid of these zombies, we'll all die! Tell me where we can find weapons!"

"There are weapons in the courtyard where the guards live!" The young master shakily got up, mustered his courage, and grabbed his favorite actress, Sun Dieqi. After pointing out the location to Qin Xiaoyao, he said urgently, "Come with me, there's a well in the front yard! We'll be safe if we hide in the well!"

Sun Dieqi was still wearing that loose red wedding dress. He dragged her along, shouting to Liu Yihong as they ran, "There's a well in the front yard, hurry up and fetch water!"

The chase was fraught with danger, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats from various angles. The white-haired leader watched the scene with a slight smile on his face.

"Qiao Yi is indeed quite good." He nodded in satisfaction. "It just so happens that the show went out of control and the actors died unnatural deaths, so the audience's anger will fall on our opponents. No matter who you are, prepare to face the public's wrath!"

The head of state never expected the fashion show to develop like this.

The game designers are quite capable; they created an invincible zombie that wreaks havoc and leaves everyone with nowhere to escape. Doesn't that make things much easier?

"Go, spread the word that the game center was attacked and the show was out of control." He turned his head slightly to instruct his assistant, "And while you're at it, take control of all the participants and investigate them one by one. The show went out of control and everyone died; the culprit will have to pay the price."

"Yes." The assistant acknowledged the order and left, while the head of state watched the thrilling scene on the big screen with a pleasant expression.

Wang He even felt death approaching twice, with the zombie's cold, hard black fingernails almost piercing his chest. Fortunately, thanks to the angels, he narrowly escaped death each time, reacting quickly enough to avoid it by accident.

His heart was pounding. He didn't know when Liu Yihong would be able to get water; he also didn't know if Qin Xiaoyao could find weapons to help him hold off the attack. In a panic, Wang He crawled under the millstone, holding his breath and trying to hide for a moment.

"boom!"

Lured by the presence of the living, the zombie stabbed the millstone, shattering the hard stone into pieces, and pounced on Wang He, who was hiding underneath.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Wang He's heart was in his throat. In despair, he closed his eyes, but unexpectedly, a bucket of water fell from the sky and poured directly over him from head to toe, instantly chilling him to the bone.

"Sniff! Sniff!"

A bucket of cold water was poured over it, instantly extinguishing any trace of life in the zombie's view. It moved forward blankly, inhaling through its bony nostrils, less than two centimeters from the breathless Wang He, slowly swaying back and forth, trying to find that alluring scent.

For Wang He, Liu Yihong (who was also sweating profusely on the wall and dared not breathe), and the audience watching from the zombie's perspective, those few seconds felt like an eternity.

Fortunately, the zombie's rotting and terrifying face swayed a few times without finding its target, then it jumped up and leaped back into the collapsed courtyard.

"Luckily we arrived in time!" Wang He's legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground, giving Liu Yihong a thumbs up. "Thanks."

Liu Yihong jumped down from the wall, still holding the bucket of water, and said in a trembling voice, "It was all thanks to you that the zombies were drawn away, giving everyone time to escape. I told them to hide in the moat. Qin Xiaoyao said they wouldn't be of much help and might even get hurt. Let's hurry over there."

Where is Qin Xiaoyao?

"She said that to get rid of the zombie, you have to lure it to an open area!"

"An open space?" Wang He was a little confused. "Where is there an open space?"

"The mass grave... Qin Xiaoyao wants us to go there first to set things up. She'll lead the zombies there!"

Both of them were terrified, but they couldn't afford to mess things up since the zombies hadn't been eliminated yet. So they gritted their teeth and tried their best to control their legs as they ran through the long corridors toward the mass grave outside the town.

"Whoosh!"

After the two escaped, Jiang Chen controlled the soul weapon protecting Wang He and disappeared into the darkness with a flash of silver light.

"Quick, run! Hide in the moat!" Qin Xiaoyao, carrying a huge bow and arrow in her left hand, ran while telling the extras who were running around in panic where to hide.

Like a nimble cat, she was controlled by Mr. Devil, leaping over walls and rooftops. In a flash, she saw a huge zombie pouncing on the others under the moonlight. She immediately drew her bow and shot an arrow, pulling the bowstring to a full moon shape in a super cool pose.

An arrow is aimed, and the right hand is released.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow spun and shot out, piercing the zombie's eye socket with a "plop".

Holy crap! That was so cool!

"If this segment isn't in the year-end review, there's something fishy going on!"

"Qin Xiaoyao is a goddess of war!"

"The way he draws the bow is so irresistible, isn't it? Forgive me for being blunt, but 60% of the men in front of the screen couldn't draw that bow."

"When girls are cool, men don't stand a chance. The best performer in this reality show is either Qin Xiaoyao or there's something fishy going on..."

…………

She landed a successful blow, earning a standing ovation from the audience and also enraging the zombie.

"Roar!"

The zombie, exuding black energy, flew straight towards its clearly defined target on the rooftop.

"Host, how exactly do we get rid of this guy?" Seeing that its host had thrown away the venomous snake, the fluffy little dumpling finally felt completely relieved and squatted on his shoulder, scratching its furry, round belly a few times. "We have quite a few powerful tools, but the problem is, will using them arouse suspicion?"

Jiang Chen's slender fingers danced like they were dancing, and his wide wings spread out as he flew through the air, playing with the female lead like a puppet. "No props are needed. First, let the Easter eggs prepared by the game designers fight the zombies, and then let Qin Xiaoyao unleash her ultimate move to break the deadlock."

Go all out?

The little white cat looked down at the skinny little girl, grinned, stroked its whiskers with its paw, and looked completely bewildered. "With her tiny body, how can she possibly defeat the zombies with her ultimate attack? Ah... what's that? Meow meow meow!"

It was so frightened that its paws gripped its host's collar and trembled. The cat curled up into a ball and could only peek out from between its paws.

Red lanterns swayed gently in the narrow alley.

As the light and shadow flickered, a figure dressed in a red wedding gown and covered with a red veil quietly appeared.

"A ghost bride?" Qin Xiaoyao, who was being controlled by Mr. Devil and running wildly along the wall, couldn't help but feel a surge of joy when she saw this scene. "Is she here to help us break this deadlock?"

Along the way, the deciphering revealed that those poor brides were all good people. They were just harmed on their wedding day and became ghosts because they harbored resentment. They only wanted to reveal the truth and find their bodies, and did not want to harm anyone.

Therefore, in everyone's perception, ghost brides are all good.

Jiang Chen was too lazy to explain. Even if he hadn't overheard the game designers plotting that this was a trump card boss, seeing the only ghost in the Qian Mansion filled with ghost-suppressing talismans shouldn't have made him think that this guy was a good one!

How powerful must the Ghost Bride be to be able to withstand those talismans wandering around the Qian Mansion?

If it's so powerful, why wouldn't a good ghost who just wants to uncover the truth seek revenge instead of staying here waiting? The logic doesn't hold up at all, so it's definitely not a simple ghost bride.

"Roar!"

Jiang Chen waited for the zombie to catch up, then manipulated Qin Xiaoyao to lead it towards the alley where the big boss was located.

The red lanterns flickered, and the candlelight suddenly turned green!

The ghost bride, who had been standing under the red lantern with her hands hanging down, suddenly let out a shrill laugh, "Hehe~ hehe, my husband, you've come?"

Its head, covered by a red veil, turned, and its body stiffly twisted to face Qin Xiaoyao. It slowly lifted the veil with its hands, adorned with bright red nail polish. "I've been here waiting for you for so long! Hehe..."

Chapter Eighteen: Breaking the Sky, Breaking the Stalemate

It's not the ghost's wailing that's scary, but the ghost's laughter. The ghost bride's delicate laughter sent chills down one's spine.

"Something doesn't feel right?" Qin Xiaoyao finally realized something, but her body wouldn't obey her commands and was being manipulated by the Devil Mr. to rush straight towards the Ghost Bride.

The echoing effect of the narrow alley made the ghost bride's laughter, each note more terrifying than the last, reverberate in their ears. Even the fluffy ball of fur bristled and trembled under its host's wings. "Meow meow meow, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, there's nothing scary, it's all fake, just a paper tiger..."

With a terrifying ghost in front and a zombie relentlessly pursuing her from behind, Qin Xiaoyao was so frightened that she closed her eyes and dared not even look.

The audience who bought tickets for her perspective were terrified and screamed. Everyone else was temporarily out of danger, except for the petite girl who stood out the most from the crowd and was at the forefront of the danger.

As the blue-faced, fanged zombie drew closer, its stiff body lunged forward, about to pierce her back.

As the ghost bride drew closer, she lifted her veil, revealing a face that should have been beautiful but was instead covered in hair, making it look like the back of her head!

This scene sent chills down everyone's spines. Qin Xiaoyao, however, did not slow down. The moment she collided with the ghost bride, she tilted her body and performed a classic slide tackle, tilting her face upwards to dodge under the ghost bride's skirt as she was attacked by her flying, outstretched fingers.

Wow, that's amazing!

"What did I just see? Was that under the ghost bride's skirt?"

"Holy crap, I wasn't prepared at all, and suddenly he started flirting with the ghost bride!"

"High skill breeds boldness; no wonder he's the descendant of a fierce general. Just tell me, who in the entire entertainment industry can replicate this ability and these actions?"

"A fierce general? That's a war criminal, a traitor!"

"History is written by the victors. Who knows who was right and who was wrong more than 300 years ago? But General Lu Wei's illustrious military achievements cannot be erased. I have studied that period of history. Before he 'betrayed' the Holy Heavenly King, General Lu Wei had an amazing undefeated record!"

Putting aside political stances, General Lu Wei's contributions absolutely cannot be erased by simply labeling him a "war criminal."

"Xiao Yao's surname is Qin, not Lu. She might just be physically strong. Haven't you heard that she often hunts with her mother to make a living? Is it so hard to acknowledge someone's excellence? Why bring up historical figures?"

"Stop arguing, isn't anyone going to praise Qin Xiaoyao's amazing move of successfully escaping and letting the ghost bride fight the zombies...?"
