You tell me, this is called daily youth?

Yuki nodded with satisfaction, tore off his already tattered coat, and slowly wrapped it around his hands.

"The castle is a pyramid structure, getting narrower as you go up, and there is only one road to the top. That Li Dan may not be kind to women."

Hayasaka Ai brushed the dust off her skirt and turned her axe-wielding wrist: "Is it time to fight to the death?"

"Yes, put all your remaining energy into it, follow me closely, and don't stop no matter what." Yuki gripped the steel knife tightly, walked into the corridor, and still walked in front.

"Wait a minute, how are we going to survive the next wave if we run out of energy?"

"Are you still thinking about the next wave?" Yuki paused and looked at the crowded black carpet outside the window.

"Bet with me one last time. If you can't win, choose a way to die."

As the words fell, his footsteps gradually quickened, the blade dragged on the ground, leaving a straight mark, which made Hayasaka Ai frown silently.

"You're in a desperate situation, and you're not panicking?"

"Why panic? At least I have a knife in my hand and teammates behind me." Yuki stepped steadily up the stairs, listening to the chaotic footsteps coming from above, and tiptoed when passing the corner.

Universal Principle Four: Never despair before death overtakes you.

kill! !

As he turned the corner, he collided head-on with several zombies. Before they could pounce on him, the blade had already passed through, and the spurting blood dyed the wall red.

Beheading, stepping forward, carrying the headless corpse, the corpse in front of him was torn to pieces immediately, and the blade pierced through the remains of the corpse from the chin to the top of the head.

He drew his knife, leaned forward, and the silver-white moon ring swept across the floor again, leaving several pairs of calves on the ground, and the zombies tumbled down the stairs.

"Stick to the wall."

Hayasaka Ai raised her axe and chopped off the heads that were close to her, then pulled Sakurajima Mai to follow Yuki's footsteps.

Stepping onto the third floor, Yuki turned sideways to face the corridor. He didn't need to be reminded that Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai were rushing in front. When he turned his head again, a zombie pounced on him like a long jumper.

Want to ride me?

Yuki reacted faster, holding the knife with both hands and leaning forward. He only felt the dull sensation of the blade entering his body before the zombie was cut in half from the middle, with smelly blood spilling all over its body.

At this time, he didn't care about the infection. Seeing a dark shadow swaying in the corridor, he turned and ran, pressed on the railing, and used his hands and feet to step to the outside of the stairs and climb up.

"You come behind me and I'll come in front. Don't take the stairs. Climb up directly."

"it is good."

Yuki put his foot on the handrail, grabbed the railing with one hand, held the knife with one hand, and focused on chopping the legs. The long knife that was solidified with enhanced magic chopped the bones very smoothly.

The zombies obviously had no intelligence, so they never expected the players to be so insidious. If they wanted to bite people, they had to bend down, but their legs were cut off and their center of gravity was changed, so they immediately turned into human tires and rolled down the stairs. They soon filled the corners, and some simply broke the glass and rolled out of the castle.

More than a dozen zombies were piled together. They had no legs, but were still crawling forward while shaking their hands. It looked like a scene from hell.

Hayasaka Ai didn't have time to look, and Sakurajima Mai didn't dare to look. She took off her high heels, climbed over the railing, and tried her best to follow the blood-stained figure in front of her.

We’ve reached the fourth floor, and there’s still one more floor!

Yuki had spent several hours exploring the castle before, and this came in handy at this moment. The front castle had five floors, and above that was the rooftop, but he looked back and knew that the final test was approaching.

The zombies that had rushed into the castle were alarmed by them and all swarmed towards this side. The corridor was filled with human heads, but because it was too narrow and there were their own kind with broken legs blocking the corner, they were unable to keep up for a while.

Looking to the left and right, the corridors on both sides were full of swaying figures. Based on the speed he calculated, only a very small number of zombies could get ahead of them, so the footsteps coming from the roof of the pier were not dense.

But now they were like a sandwich. On both sides and under the stairs, there were dense black shadows. Even if they stood there waiting to be chopped down, they would die of exhaustion.

"Hasaka, use! Mai, carry her on your back!"

Hayasaka Ai had just climbed up the stairs holding Sakurajima Mai's hand, and one of her leather shoes had been pulled off. When she heard Yuki's voice, she clenched her teeth.

Chaos Item. Activated.

A slender petal stretched out and accurately drilled into the head of the zombie in front, causing blood to spurt out and a swaying flower bloomed from the top of its head.

The branches danced back and forth, cutting the surrounding flesh, and continued to split due to the countless flesh and blood, soon filling the entire corridor.

The connection between the fourth and fifth floors seemed to be filled with a blender. Zombies kept pouring up and being chopped into pieces. The bloody scene was so eye-opening.

Hayasaka Ai felt like her head was splitting again. She was in so much pain that she couldn't even stand up. Fortunately, Sakurajima Mai carried her on her back and she gritted her teeth and climbed the stairs.

"Hasaka-san, you should lose weight."

Hayasaka Ai wasn't in the mood to deal with the complaint, so she yelled out like a groan, "Ten seconds!"

"I know, follow me!"

Yuki, expressionless, took the lead, as if he had an architectural blueprint in his head, and turned right as he stepped onto the fifth floor.

Fifty meters later are the stairs to the rooftop, and we have to rush over there no matter what.

His physical strength was on the verge of limit and the hand holding the knife was trembling slightly. There were ten zombies that came looking for the scent and blocked the corridor.

Glancing behind him, he saw that Mai Sakurajima's legs were already shaking. She had probably never been so tired in her life. Their eyes met, but neither of them spoke.

follow me.

The figure in my eyes was moving away, and the speed was getting faster and faster, gradually changing from a fast walk to a jog, and finally jumping up.

kill! !

Yuki confronted the zombies, splitting their entire heads with his first blow. He leaned forward and landed on the ground amidst the splashing of red and white liquids, feeling the shriveled fingers brushing through his hair.

He felt himself entering some strange state, forgetting fear, fatigue, swordsmanship and physical strength. He simply opened his mouth and poured out the anger in his chest.

He stepped forward with his left foot, twisted his waist and turned around, holding the long sword in reverse, leaving a silver-white sword mark in the corridor.

Cut in half!

The two zombies that had not yet landed on the ground broke apart in mid-air. Yuki didn't even look at them. He straightened his body like a spring, pierced through the next head with the blade, twisted the knife, planed the surface, pulled it out, and fell backwards. Using the inertia of the slide rail, he slashed left and right.

Swish swish.

The blade cut through muscles and bones, causing the zombies to fall one after another, and then they crawled with their hands to grab the pair of black silk legs that were running after them.

The carpet was soaked with blood and felt slippery. Sakurajima Mai didn't dare to lower her head. She didn't think about anything and just stared blankly at the blood-stained back in front of her.

Just like the only ray of light in a dark corridor, she didn't need to think too much and just had to follow her instinct like a moth chasing a bonfire.

There are two more.

Yuki didn't care about what was behind him. He walked through the corridor and could already see the stairs not far away. The brighter moonlight was shining down from above, making a man bathed in the moonlight look extremely abrupt.

The man stared, as if he was unfamiliar with Yuki who was rushing towards him. After two full seconds, he raised the giant revolver and aimed at the corridor.

boom!

Chapter 15 A Breathing Chance (Revised)

Bang bang bang.

The dull sound of gunfire echoed in the corridor, causing Yuki's pupils to shrink.

Just now, he thought Li Dan was going to kill him. Wasn't he afraid of accidentally hurting someone by firing at him at such a close distance? But soon he found that the other party was sure of his success.

The brains of the two remaining zombies in front of him exploded immediately, and he could even hear the whistling of bullets passing by his ears.

The bullets seemed to have eyes, and the heads of the zombies that had been holding onto Mai Sakurajima's legs exploded, causing her to stumble over. The tide of zombies pouring into the corridor also paused, and the heads of the first few exploded at the same time.

'Shooting skills, even Olympic champions can't do it so fast and so accurately.'

A thought flashed through his head, but he didn't dare to think too much. He grabbed Sakurajima Mai from behind and dragged her towards the stairs with all his strength.

"Thanks, Brother Li!"

"Don't talk, go up and rest."

Li Dan really wanted to ask these three newcomers how they got here, and he wanted to go down and take a look. Even as a veteran player, he found it incredible.

But his thoughts were interrupted by the surging tide of zombies, and even his rapid shooting was unable to resist.

"Thomas, help me quickly, do you want to die together?" He raised his head and shouted, so anxious that veins popped out on his forehead.

"That's really troublesome. Okay, remember that you owe me a favor."

The band man's logic made everyone laugh, but he moved quickly. A shadow rushed down the stairs, and the big sword in his hand made a "woohoo" sound.

hum-

As his arms danced, the saw teeth cut the floor into pieces like cutting tofu, and actually dug a big hole in the building. The group of corpses running over immediately fell to the lower level.

This was not the end. He walked backwards to the rooftop, swinging his sword back and forth, and in no time he cut all the stairs into pieces. It was more than ten meters high from the rooftop to the fifth floor, and it would take some effort even with a human ladder.

Is this the strength of an old player? ?

Yuki had already run back to the rooftop, but instead of lying on the ground like the two women, he stuck his head out to look down, and saw the gap between the two sides at a glance.

It was easy to lift heavy objects with ease. It would not be difficult to clear out the zombies in the entire corridor. Not only was the chainsaw sword much stronger than his own mutated long sword, but his physical fitness was also one level stronger.

'Is the gap between new and old players so big? If it's an ordinary Licker, it won't pose any threat at all. Even if it's strengthened by Moonlight, it can't escape the bombardment of the old players.'

Glancing at Hayasaka Ai and Sakurajima Mai, who looked like corpses except for their heaving chests, he finally understood the meaning of those 'hints'. If it was just a simple killing, the threat to old players would be too small. Even if this would make it difficult for new players to survive, what fairness could they still expect in the reincarnation game?

"If you want to survive in this game, you have to fight hard. Without the first two times, I would still be an ordinary person. Not to mention getting here, I wouldn't even be qualified to ask Li Dan to take action. They had already torn down the stairs."

Yuki let out a breath, he never thought of himself as a good guy. In this game, every player is measured by value, Sakurajima Mai is like this, and he is no exception.

boom.

The steel floor was covered, and Thomas moved some heavy boxes to press on it to make sure that the zombies below couldn't push it open. Then he looked around with a sinister look, which soon stopped on Yuki's face.

"How did you manage to come here alive? Hey, your knife has undergone some changes?"

"Yes, after killing the Licker, I received a gift from Red Moon." Yuki clenched his knife, his face full of fear, and before the other party could speak, he spoke to himself:

"That monster was so scary that it killed college students. The three of us set a trap and pinned it down with a hanging piano before we chopped off its head with a knife."

"You're lying! That thing can't be suppressed. It will disappear in the moonlight!" Thomas interrupted immediately, with a fierce look on his face: "Tell the truth, or I'll send you down to feed the zombies."

"Really, at first I could only run, but as I ran, I found that in places with dim moonlight, its speed of blending into the moonlight would become slower, so I ran into the basement. I had no choice."

Yuki was still frightened, and he didn't lie. He just killed the Licker head-on.

Thomas' eyes turned suspicious. As an old player, he certainly noticed this clue, but was it good luck or keen observation?

He didn't know, but one thing was very clear, that is, he was deceived by this bastard before. Anyone who dared to pick up a knife and kill from the first floor to the rooftop was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Are you being forced to explode your potential?"

"What else can I do? I can't just accept death." Yuki looked innocent. What nonsense! He continued to talk to himself: "Just like on the battlefield, those who are not afraid of death will be favored by the goddess of luck. I felt like I was crazy just now. No, I was bloodthirsty. Is this the effect of adrenaline?"

He started talking incoherently and was shaking as if he was cold. Plus, he was dressed in rags and looked quite pitiful.

When people are forced into desperate situations, they will unleash terrifying power. Veteran players know this better than anyone else because that’s how they survived.

But fighting hard also requires a price to pay. Now it seems that Yuki has good qualities, but he is not so scary that people are afraid of him.

Your acting skills are good enough to play opposite me. You didn't seem so lucky just now.

Mai Sakurajima secretly glanced at Yuki, then immediately closed her eyes. Her professionalism told her that it would be best to act like a corpse at this time.

"Enough. The newcomers are strong and it is good for the whole team. They are responsible for exploring the underground, and the chance of discovering the truth is higher than ours." Li Dan took a step forward to separate the two tense parties, then bent down with a smile and patted Yuki on the shoulder.

"You have good observation skills. You don't have to be very good at fighting in the game, but you must be smart. It is because you can discover the conditions that you have the opportunity to kill the monster."

He imparted his experience like a generous teacher. According to Li Dan's review, if the Licker could be trapped, ordinary people might be able to kill it. If people were pushed into a corner, miracles would no longer be miracles.

"Bah, it's just shit luck that I happened to go underground." Thomas cursed and walked away somewhat unhappy.

Yuki let out a long sigh, as if he was afraid of the band member, and raised his neck with some difficulty: "Brother Li, I remember it. Fortunately, I have a good observation ability since I was a child."

"And your swordsmanship is not simple either, and your body is very strong. No need to explain. Everyone keeps some secrets in this game, but don't hide them from your real teammates."

Compared with Thomas, Li Dan is of course more like a teammate. Yuki nodded heavily and felt a little embarrassed.

"Brother Li, I'm actually a semi-professional player, a second-degree martial artist. Sorry I didn't tell you before."

"Second stage? No wonder the knife is so fast and accurate. Having a handy weapon can indeed dramatically improve combat effectiveness." Li Dan looked as if to say 'so that', and carefully observed Yuki's dry lips, then took out a few Snickers bars and mineral water like a magic trick.

Ah this?

Yuki sat up straight instantly, and this time his surprise was not fake.

"When you become a veteran player, you will have a storage space, but it's very small. You will understand after going through this copy." Li Dan handed over the food and water, thought for a while, and took out a roll of bandages.

"Hey, why don't you bring some weapons? Like a bazooka or something?"

"That's a long story. Anyway, remember, don't do anything extra. The reincarnation game is very smart. This information is given to you for free."

You weren't so kind just now, you just saw my value.
