Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

Unexpectedly, the conversation with the gun shop owner went awry. The game seemed to have imbued the owner with intelligence, causing him to distrust the combination of Wang Xuanqiao and Hu Tao. After the conversation started, he was not only reluctant to engage, but also concluded, "You'd better find another way. If you mess up, I'll be in trouble."

This is simply blatant disdain.

While the gun shop owner's concerns were understandable, emotionally, aside from those who were just looking for show, few people were willing to accept such slights. Wang Xuanqiao was no exception. He stared at the owner's closed door and suddenly grinned.

"Since you said so, let's make a bet."

Wang Xuanqiao suddenly raised his hand and fired a shot, shattering the glass door of the supermarket across the street. Alarms blared loudly inside the supermarket, followed by the roars of the zombies from all directions.

"Let's bet on whether you dare to come out and solve the problem yourself."

Volume 009: : This is a special feature, you must try it

Before Wang Xuanqiao could pull Hu Tao and pretend to leave, the gun shop owner's angry voice rushed out of the room.

"Okay, okay! You guys go turn off that damn alarm, then bring me a can of Coke, and I'll help you clear the way to the mall evacuation point, is that okay?"

The zombie horde, triggered by the alarm, was closing in on the gun shop, and the owner was clearly getting anxious. Unlike those fleeing, he had chosen to establish a safe house and fortify himself, effectively cutting off his own escape route. If the zombie horde continued to close in, his fate was imminent.

Wang Xuanqiao didn't intend to haggle with an NPC. After all, what he wanted was the big firework, so it was enough to achieve his goal.

"This requires a little cooperation," Wang Xuanqiao said to Hu Tao. "I'll go downstairs to turn off the alarm and get some Coke. You wait up there for me. When I come out, I'll throw the Coke up to you. Also, it's quite heavy, so be sure to take it with some force."

"Then leave it to me." Walnut agreed readily.

"Watch me perform!"

Wang Xuanqiao raised his gun and rushed out. He chose not to take the stairs, but instead flew down through the withered flowerbed. He rolled forward as he landed, then turned over, opened fire, and shot at the zombies around him.

There was a subtle sense of nostalgia. Wang Xuanqiao remembered that when he was a novice in Samsara, he always needed firearms. Later, as his level of enhancement increased, he gradually abandoned these weapons.

I didn't expect that after so much time, the skills I was forced to practice back then have not become rusty.

Wang Xuanqiao advanced swiftly in a shooting stance, his Kalashnikov rifle sending a new victim to the afterlife with every roar. He rushed into the supermarket, already overrun by zombies, and with the butt of his rifle, he crushed the attacking jockey to death. Then, he detonated the supermarket's electrical box with a single shot, disabling the alarm.

Then, Wang Xuanqiao threw the gun behind his back, picked up a dozen cans of Coke on the ground and walked out.

The remaining corpses were still rushing here, but Wang Xuanqiao ignored them and started to run towards the place where he came down. Seeing this, Hu Tao, who was standing there, immediately waved at him, indicating that he was ready.

At this moment, Wang Xuanqiao was like a power forward holding a basketball, and the zombies attempting to pounce on him became his blocking players. On this imaginary court, Wang Xuanqiao was unstoppable. He took one step toward the nonexistent 'basket'—one, two, three, and leaped!

The cola transformed into a 'basketball' was thrown out of his hand, drawing a perfect arc in the air and falling into the 'basket' - Walnut's hand.

"Got it, manager!" Hu Tao raised the Coke and shouted to Wang Xuanqiao.

"Okay! Let's go deliver the goods!" Wang Xuanqiao fell back to the ground, knocked down the zombies that came back with his fists and kicks, and ran towards the van that served as the return ladder.

Hu Tao had already delivered the Coke to its destination. Wang Xuanqiao had just climbed back to the second-floor platform when he saw a grenade slowly fall toward the traffic jam on the distant highway. And then—bang!

If fireworks are the brilliance of the night that is no less dazzling than that of the stars, then what bursts out at this moment is the dazzling light that dares to compete with the sun!

The roar of the massive explosions was like a tidal wave, shaking people's hearts to the point of trembling. The flames shot up into the air and splashed in all directions, stirring up a heat wave that began to spread and the temperature became even hotter.

Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but let out a sigh.

To be honest, it was almost there. He looked back and saw that Walnut had followed him, with a somewhat subtle expression on her face.

"Manager, do you want to give me a difficult problem?" She looked at Wang Xuanqiao with a smile and asked.

"what?"

"Although for a moment I felt that this material wasn't very relevant, I suddenly had an idea and came up with a brilliant phrase." Hu Tao grabbed Wang Xuanqiao's arm and said, "Manager, you have to listen to me this time!"

"Okay, okay, I'm all ears."

Wang Xuanqiao could only smile bitterly and nodded, pricking up his ears to show that he was listening.

"Cough cough!"

Walnut cleared his throat.

"I want to travel the heavenly road, but the road is blocked. I have stepped on blood, fire and corpses. I ask where the mountains and rivers lead me. It is the immortal home on the path in the desolate mountains!"

Wang Xuanqiao scratched his head.

Is this the dark, alley-style doggerel poet? He seems pretty impressive.

But where's the material for the explosion? Just as Wang Xuanqiao was about to ask, he heard the zombies roaring again. The noise from the serial explosions would inevitably attract the zombies roaming around. This was no longer a place for casual conversation.

"Let's go, we'll be at the safe house soon."

Wang Xuanqiao took the lead, but Hu Tao quickly ran from behind and reached the front.

"I've let you perform before, and it's time for me to show off on the last leg of the journey." Walnut turned around, walked backwards for a while, finished his words, then turned back and began to wave the fire axe to meet the attacking zombies.

"Then you better be careful! There's a high probability that a tricky special feeling will appear ahead." Wang Xuanqiao reminded loudly behind her.

At the end of the second level of Dead Center, a witch will almost always appear in the medical isolation area. However, there are many ways to deal with this witch's special feeling. You can even walk around it quietly without fighting it if it doesn't block your way.

But if it were Walnut...I might choose to pray for it.

Wang Xuanqiao scratched his head, wondering if Hu Tao would suffer the same setback as before.

In terms of physical strength, Hu Tao is definitely no problem, but she can't resist the universality of the "First Sight Kill" thing. Regardless of the situation when Hu Tao faces the witch, she should be prepared for support.

Walnut prayed along the way, quickly passing through the wreckage left by the explosion. The sign at the end of the road still stood, guiding the survivors. The quarantine zone was right in front of them, and medical tents were set up in a neatly arranged manner on the wide open space.

If it weren't for the various supplies and luggage scattered on the ground, and the dead silence with no living creatures in sight, it might really give people a sense of security.

So the question is, oh no, where are the humans, zombies?

We can't be spawning tanks again, right? That's too much!

Wang Xuanqiao saw Hu Tao humming a little tune as she walked into the isolation area, her hands on her chin looking around, and he knew that she was probably looking for the special feeling he had just reminded her of.

But nothing appeared, nothing happened.

The quarantine area was completely silent, and one could even faintly hear some sounds from farther away.

It's not uncommon for people to be eliminated directly at the end of a level in games. Wang Xuanqiao tapped his finger lightly on the handguard of his gun, wondering if this moment of peace before the end was truly a stroke of luck.

If a tank were to appear, it would have leaped out of some corner roaring; and if a witch were to appear, as usual, her iconic cry would have been heard.

But there was neither. Walnut looked around the area as he walked through it, and there was nothing unusual at all.

But if this goes on any longer, the zombie tide will be refreshed again.

Wang Xuanqiao no longer hesitated and called Hu Tao, and the two ran directly towards the iron gate of the safe house.

Since they had gotten through for free, they might as well not suffer the consequences. Wang Xuanqiao and Hu Tao rushed to the safe house as fast as they could, welcoming the second survivor's victory.

Then, Wang Xuanqiao suddenly heard... a faint yet familiar cry coming from behind the iron gate...

Okay, okay, let’s go to the safe house, right?

In fact, safe houses can not only hide witches, but also corpses. Although these are low-probability events, you will always encounter them after playing for a long time. It can be said that you can often create some show effects.

Volume 010: : A must-have for starting a team, the big 'green garlic'!

Is a safe house in Left 4 Dead truly safe? Before the gates close, before all your teammates die, there's no definitive answer. A safe house might harbor a horde of zombies or a witch. This has even inspired some map designers to place tanks in safe houses.

It can be said to be quite natural behavior.

Wang Xuanqiao didn't expect to encounter such a low-probability event, which directly saved Hu Tao many years of detours and allowed him to experience the essence of the game that safe houses are not safe.

Of course, this is actually just a minor problem, after all, the things in the safe house can be shot to death from the outside by closing the door.

The problem was that Kurumi got right up close to the witch.

What are you doing?! Wang Xuanqiao wanted to pull her away, but he was afraid that if he moved too much, he would attract the witch's hatred.

He could only watch Walnut circling around the witch, looking her up and down. His behavior had no sense of boundaries and forced the witch to stop crying.

This is great, the witch is going to kill people. Wang Xuanqiao sighed silently and took off the shotgun hanging on his backpack.

At this moment, Wang Xuanqiao suddenly saw Hu Tao winking at him.

Normally, eye contact is not a way to communicate, but he still understood what Hu Tao meant - watch my performance.

The witch had already stretched out a ferocious face from her hands with half-meter-long claws, but Walnut just smiled, and her pearly teeth seemed to be shining.

"It's time to go on your way," Walnut said to the witch. "You're already dead, so don't wander around in the human world anymore."

This sentence seemed to completely infuriate the witch. A unique female scream suddenly erupted, and the witch swung her claws, which were almost like daggers, and pounced on Walnut.

Walnut, holding the fire axe in both hands, advanced instead of retreating. With a light leap of his slightly slender figure, he flew over the witch's head like a fluttering butterfly, his shoes swiftly touching the ground like a dragonfly skimming the water.

The witch who never falls in the game was kicked by Walnut and lost her balance and fell to the ground!

Wang Xuanqiao immediately understood Hu Tao's idea.

The witch's 'throwing herself into someone's arms' sprint was indeed prone to losing her balance, and Walnut took advantage of this to knock her down. A fallen witch was essentially sentenced to death, with no chance of a comeback.

Having lost the dominance granted by the game, the witch's already delicate position has become even more awkward.

Walnut landed right on the ground, picked up the fire axe, and trotted after the witch, shouting "Have a good trip!" as he chopped down with his axe...

Wang Xuanqiao quickly looked away and gently closed the iron gate.

Another level had concluded. Considering the types of special abilities she'd encountered, Hu Tao could be considered a complete novice. With two levels remaining in the Death Center campaign, Wang Xuanqiao figured now that he was out of the novice phase, he might as well finish them quickly.

It’s just right to see what rewards the system will give to Hu Tao.

Having just finished a performance, Hu Tao was still in high spirits, so she started the next level directly with Wang Xuanqiao.

After you get started with Left 4 Dead, there's actually nothing particularly worth paying attention to. You just need to use your sword and gun to hack and kill your way to the end. After all, it's essentially a game of mowing down enemies for fun.

Hu Tao continued to play tricks, with Wang Xuanqiao following closely behind, both of them having an incredibly enjoyable gaming experience. They swept through the alert levels and soon reached the final stage of the campaign.

At the shopping mall, they encountered Tank again. This time, Hu Tao was determined to redeem herself, so she had Wang Xuanqiao fill the car with gas while she fought Tank for three hundred rounds, wielding a fire axe.

Finally, under Walnut's intentional guidance, the tank crashed into the barriers blocking the entrances and exits of the shopping mall, sending itself away while also knocking away the roadblocks and completely opening the passage.

But doing so also attracted the zombies lurking outside. Although a large number of zombies were crushed by the obstacles knocked away by the tanks, there were still more zombies rushing towards the opened entrances and exits.

"Oh? One client, two clients... so many clients, it's hard to handle."

Walnut looked at the surging tide of corpses, scratched his head with a dry laugh.

"Keep shooting!" Wang Xuanqiao had already started his sports car, the engine roaring. Seeing the zombies pressing against each other as they rushed toward the door, he hurled his shotgun at Hu Tao.

"Here they come!" Hu Tao threw away the fire axe that had accompanied her for four levels, raised her hand to catch the shotgun thrown by Wang Xuanqiao, and completed the shooting action in an instant. The shotgun, which had been loaded with bullets, roared and poured out pieces of iron rain. The front end of the tide of corpses fell to the ground in rows like cut wheat.

Wang Xuanqiao, who was sitting in the driver's seat, reached out and opened the passenger door.

"Do you want to perform again?" he shouted to Walnut with a smile.

Walnut glanced sideways, immediately understood, and shouted back, "Okay!"

Wang Xuanqiao stomped on the accelerator, and the engine roared, pumping all its power into the axles. But Wang Xuanqiao was still pressing the brakes, and the locked wheels could only whistle in place, urging the driver to release them quickly.

The meter ticked rapidly, reaching the threshold in the blink of an eye. Wang Xuanqiao immediately released the restraints, and the sports car roared out like a cannonball.

Walnut heard the noise behind her and swung her shotgun towards the zombie's face. She quickly turned sideways and leaped towards the speeding sports car!

The open car door caught her securely, but Hu Tao, having exerted too much force, threw herself onto Wang Xuanqiao's legs. Her face was almost pressed against the driver's door, leaving only her lower body and legs on the passenger seat.

However, it was too late for Hu Tao to adjust. With the car door open and the inevitable impact ahead, forcing Hu Tao to adjust would likely throw her out of the car.

"Don't move, hold on!" Wang Xuanqiao gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands and quickly turned the steering wheel on the instant he rushed out of the shopping mall door.

The roaring sports car traced an extreme arc, nearly tipping over, but was forcibly repelled by the encroaching tidal wave of zombies. Wang Xuanqiao didn't even glance at the scene outside the car window. Once his perspective was right, he immediately returned the steering wheel to its original position and released the brakes!

The sports car carrying the two men smashed through the sparser zombies ahead and sped off down the road. Thus ended the Battle of Death Center.

Wang Xuanqiao, who was driving, saw the surroundings suddenly turn black, as if a huge black curtain had instantly enveloped them. Then, a statistical list that looked very much like a CAST table slowly rose from the black curtain.

'Big Green Garlic' has begun!

Wang Xuanqiao smiled, and Hu Tao took the opportunity to sit up and look at the "war criminal" data with him.

"I didn't expect that I could achieve such a result in my first time playing. I am worthy of it." Hu Tao saw that his name was ranked first in the ordinary zombie killing list, and he immediately boasted about himself complacently.

"Indeed. But for newcomers, the most valuable thing is zero friendly fire." Wang Xuanqiao mentioned.

"You definitely don't want to know what normally happens to a newbie playing this." He smiled, "You're indeed much better than the average person."

"Yeah, of course." Walnut sat in the passenger seat with a smile on her face, without even closing the door.

"After all, I am the head of the Hall of Rebirth. Of course, I must have sufficient ability to send the deceased to the afterlife."

"It's a game, but matters of life and death..."

Hu Tao seemed about to sigh, but stopped mid-sentence. Looking through the rearview mirror, Wang Xuanqiao noticed that the girl had suddenly started blinking.
