Showbiz Escape

Chapter 3 City of Zombies 03
In view of the fact that no matter which mainline customs clearance task she chooses, it is not too bad for Wen Zhuo, so she chose A at random, and prepared to go to the underground laboratory on Jingtai Road to find the serum antibody numbered 0626.

Regarding this, Zhao Meitong asked cautiously: "Is it a bit hasty?"

"You think it's hasty? Then do you want to go to Qingfeng Building to rescue the professor, or do you want to go to Experimental Primary School to send the child?"

"I think Qingfeng Building and Experimental Primary School are at least the exact addresses, we can find them, but when did there have an underground research room on Jingtai Road?"

Wen Zhuo pondered: "There is a mental hospital that has been abandoned for a long time on Jingtai Road. There was a mass suicide of patients more than 20 years ago. Since then, there have been rumors of haunting. I remember that many Internet celebrities went there to conduct adventure live broadcasts before. .”

"So you mean..."

"The laboratory may be built in the mental hospital."

But before going to Jingtai Road, they first had to go to the nearest weapon drop-off location to find supply boxes according to the map instructions.

After half an hour.

Wen Zhuo rode the motorcycle that he had obtained by breaking the door, and carried Zhao Meitong at a fast speed. During the process, he directly hit a zombie blocking the way. If Zhao Meitong hadn't hugged her tightly around her waist, he would have been thrown out on the spot.

"Hey! You are too crazy!"

"I will abide by the contract and help you pass the customs. Ms. Zhao just pays attention to the result. As for the process, please don't point fingers at my habits."

"..."

The protest was ineffective, Zhao Meitong wisely chose to remain silent, and the two of them headed straight to the nearest weapon supply place—an import supermarket on the first floor of the Joy Shopping Center—without slowing down.

Since there were too many zombies wandering around the main entrance of the shopping mall, Wen Zhuo parked his motorcycle behind a tree and took Zhao Meitong to find the side entrance in order not to startle the snake.

With the help of thick fog cover, they dodged in a roundabout way without being noticed by the zombies, so they entered through the employee passageway and walked all the way into the mall.

When passing by the door of a certain brand's physical store, Zhao Meitong stared at the first-line actress on the poster, dazed for a few seconds.

It was a brand she liked very much, and it was her goal to collaborate with it one day.

To accomplish this goal, I don't know how long I will have to wait.

She was immersed in her own world, and she didn't notice that behind her was a zombie dressed as a salesperson in a supermarket, baring its fangs and approaching with blood dripping from its mouth.

When she reacted, the zombie was less than half a meter away from her face, and could bite off her neck in minutes.

... her hands and feet were numb, and she was so frightened that she forgot to scream.

In the nick of time, Wen Zhuo, who had not gone far and turned back, suddenly grabbed her by the collar, pulled her away from the spot, and then swung a baseball bat over, using inertia to knock the zombie to the ground .

Seeing that the zombie was not completely dead but still trying to get up, Wen Zhuo snatched the umbrella that Zhao Meitong was holding, stepped on the zombie's chest, and inserted the tip of the umbrella into the other's eyes, straight to the brain.

Zhao Meitong couldn't stand still and threw herself on the wall. She turned around nervously, witnessing the scene of blood splatter, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Wen Zhuo lowered his head to confirm that the zombie was really dead, then pulled out his umbrella, and cast a sideways glance at her.

"Miss Zhao, I'm not quite sure what you're thinking about, but I suggest you think about it after clearing the customs, otherwise Empress Nuwa won't be able to take you with her when she comes."

"...Sorry, I remember."

Wen Zhuo gave a "hmm", then grabbed her wrist to ensure that she was always within his sight, and continued walking towards the supermarket.

The glass door of the supermarket seemed to be locked from the inside, probably to avoid attracting the attention of the zombies, and a lot of newspapers were pasted on the door with water to block the sight.

Zhao Meitong was very anxious: "What should we do? If we forcefully smash the door in, it will attract all the nearby zombies."

"Don't smash it." Wen Zhuo said, "This supermarket has been around for a long time, and the door is still the kind with a keyhole, which can be opened with a pry."

"Pry it open?"

"Yes, in reality, the shopping mall is monitored, and thieves dare not pry it, but it is very easy in the game."

She said it was easy, and in fact it took less than 2 minutes to pry open the glass door in front of her.

As the top bounty hunter in the Vanity Fair game, naturally, he must have some skills in slanting swords.

The two quietly entered the supermarket and locked the door again.

The weapon supply box was placed in the aisle of the food shelf. Wen Zhuo looked inside and frowned.

There is a corpse lying in the aisle, not a zombie, it should be a player.

As for the two people who just killed the player, she happened to be familiar with them—the young man in the flower shirt who was talking loudly in the small supermarket at the beginning, and the middle-aged actor Zhang Qi who was so courteous to him.

At this time, Zhao Meitong lowered her voice and murmured in her ear: "Hey, isn't that Zhang Qi? I played the role of the heroine's sister in a star drama before, and he played the heroine's father. We have worked together before."

Wen Zhuo was thoughtful: "You know him?"

"I know him. He has a weird temper. He often scolds the young actors in the film crew. Back then, I was afraid that he would bully others, so I bought him two good cigarettes to make a relationship."

"Then it's much easier." Wen Zhuo ordered in a low voice, "You're good at socializing, right? Go talk to them now, and make sure they both focus on you."

"how about you?"

"Leave me alone, just do what I say."

"……Oh."

Although Zhao Meitong is not very smart, she is not stupid either. It is in her best interest to know what to do at this moment.

She stepped forward as she said, and deliberately made some noise, making the young man in the flower shirt and Zhang Qi look at her.

She stood by the shelf, pretending to be surprised: "Mr. Zhang? Is it Mr. Zhang? I'm Zhao Meitong! I played your third daughter in "Legend of Yao Ji"!"

Zhang Qi was also taken aback when he saw her, and nodded hesitantly for a while: "It seems that she looks familiar."

The young man in the flower shirt was installing a silencer on the pistol in the supply box. He had already pointed the gun at this side, but when he heard that Zhang Qi knew her, he put down the gun again.

"Teacher Zhang, are you an acquaintance?"

"Well, she is a very hard-working little girl. We have worked together before, but I didn't expect to meet here."

Out of the corner of her eye, Wen Zhuo was walking around to the other end of the shelf, intending to approach him from behind. Zhao Meitong mobilized her best acting skills ever, her eyes were red, and she took two steps closer to Zhang Qi.

"It's really great to meet acquaintances, Mr. Zhang, you don't know, I was almost bitten to death by zombies just now-can you let me act with you?"

Before Zhang Qi could speak, the young man in the floral shirt had already looked her over vigilantly from head to toe: "Wait, I was almost bitten to death by a zombie, did the zombie bite you or not?"

"No!" Zhao Meitong hastily pulled up his sleeves and trouser legs to show him, and also showed him the blood-stained umbrella, "I used this umbrella to stab the zombie to death."

"You can stab zombies to death with an umbrella...then you're actually pretty strong?"

"Yes, I am quite strong, and I won't be burdensome with you!"

The young man in the flower shirt gradually relaxed his vigilance. He and Zhang Qi were so busy checking Zhao Meitong for any wounds that they didn't notice that someone was approaching from behind.

The next second, a hard baseball bat hit the back of his head, and he fell to the ground in a whirl, and the gun in his hand flew far away.

Zhang Qi was shocked, before he had time to react, Wen Zhuo kicked him in the chest head-on, and suddenly felt a rush of energy and blood, and retreated a few steps in embarrassment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Zhuo hooked the lid of the box with his toes, closed the supply box again, and took two steps, leaning over to pick up the gun dropped by the young man in the flower shirt.

Zhao Meitong quickly hid behind her.

"You're not the one in the supermarket..." Zhang Qi looked at Wen Zhuo, who looked like a different person, with a look of surprise and suspicion, obviously finding it unbelievable, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

"What can I want to do? Of course I want to take a weapon." Wen Zhuo sneered, "Senior, there is no distinction between status and seniority in the game. I advise you not to expect this kid to take you through the level. He doesn't have that ability at all."

"..."

"I'll count to three, if you don't leave, you will end up like him."

Before she finished speaking, she moved the muzzle of the gun to the dazed young man in the floral shirt lying on the ground, and pulled the trigger calmly.

A pistol equipped with a silencer, the bullets fired did not make too much noise, and directly blasted the opponent's head.

Death in the game doesn't mean real death, it just means failure and elimination.

However, back in the real world, he will bear the consequences of this defeat.

In the Vanity Fair system, sometimes there is a price to be paid for belittling others at will.

She counted slowly: "One."

Zhang Qi stared at the corpse of the young man in the flowered shirt in shock. He suppressed his fear and tried to discuss with her: "You two girls, you can't hold so many weapons, can you give them to me..."

"two."

From her eyes, he understood that there was absolutely no room for change in this matter, all he could do now was to save his life, otherwise she would definitely kill herself.

He turned around in a panic and fled the scene in a hurry.

Zhao Meitong watched him run away, not daring to look at the pool of blood on the ground again.

"Just... Even if the death in the game is not brought into reality, it would be too burdensome for you to kill people, right?"

Wen Zhuo put away his gun calmly, took the backpack of the young man in the floral shirt, and went to rummage through the supply box.

"If I had a psychological burden, I wouldn't have the chance to take you through the level now."

"Ah...that's true."

"Assault. Can you hold the gun?"

"what?"

Wen Zhuo picked up a submachine gun in the supply box, and handed it to her arms: "Hold it, I'll let you shoot and change the bullets later."

"Oh." Zhao Meitong quickly hugged the gun in her arms.

In addition, there is a semi-automatic rifle, two revolvers, some bullets, a smoke bomb and a grenade in the supply box.

Wen Zhuo held the rifle in her hand, pinned the pistol to her waist, and put everything she could fit into the backpack. After finishing all this, she signaled Zhao Meitong to follow her, and was about to leave through the back door of the supermarket.

Zhao Meitong asked her suspiciously: "Is there any problem walking through the front door?"

"Zhang Qi walked through the front door. It's hard to say whether he will be stupid to attract the attention of zombies. It's not safe for us to follow."

As a bounty hunter, in order to ensure the customs clearance rate of customers, she needs to be thoughtful in all aspects to minimize the risk.

But after all the calculations, what she didn't expect in the end was——

On the only way to Jingtai Road Mental Hospital, I would meet Ye Lingchuan again.
