Samsara Paradise: Dream Weaver of Connections.

Chapter 2: High School of the Dead

The moment Lin Yi opened his eyes again, a sharp pain suddenly pierced into the back of his head like a needle, as if he was hit by a heavy flowerpot.

He raised his hand and felt around, but strangely, he didn't find any signs of wounds where his fingers touched.

Lin Yi endured the pain and struggled to get up from the dirty ground.

He looked around and found himself in a narrow and dark alley.

The alley was filled with junk piled in disarray, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of dampness and decay.

Deep in the alley, you can vaguely see a ray of light, which is the exit of the alley.

The chirping of mice could be heard from time to time. They moved around in dark corners, adding a bit of eeriness and weirdness to this quiet alley.

Lin Yi gently brushed off the dust on his body, trying to brush away the indescribable discomfort.

He looked around and saw only piles of garbage. It seemed that this forgotten corner had long been regarded as a natural garbage dump by the surrounding residents.

Just as Lin Yi was about to pinch his nose and leave this disgusting place, he suddenly felt the sword-shaped brand in his hand become extremely hot.

He looked down subconsciously, and saw the light blue font reappearing, jumping in his sight like a ghost.

The content of the text is as follows:
Enter the World: High School of the Dead
World Difficulty: LV.2. Difficult (This difficulty is the difficulty of the Hunter Trial.)

Source of the world; 0% (when hunters explore or communicate with characters in the current world, the source of the world will increase. When settling the world, it will be calculated with the task difficulty to form the final score)
World introduction: end of the world; zombies; chaos.

Main task: solve the source of the corpse outbreak.

Side missions: None.

Warning: Please do not mention anything about "Paradise" in this world. If the warning is invalid, you will be forcibly executed!
Tip: Since this is the first time for the hunter to enter the world, the hunter will automatically master the language of this world. The deadline is (seven natural days)

World, begin!
"How could this be the world? I'm in trouble."

Lin Yi's eyes fell on the reminder of Samsara Paradise, and his expression instantly turned ugly.

As a martial artist, Lin Yi is not too afraid of the fantasy world with supernatural powers.

In those strange worlds, supernatural powers are indeed powerful and full of unknowns, but for the general public, they are often just spectators, and the direct impact of those powers on them is relatively limited.

However, the real world is completely different.

Once the doomsday catastrophe comes, the whole world will fall into an abyss of disorder and disaster.

What particularly worries Lin Yi is that, with his ordinary physique, he is particularly vulnerable in this environment.

If he is accidentally injured by a corpse, the risk of infection is extremely high, and he may even become one of the walking dead in a very short time.

This kind of living environment with zero tolerance for error brought tremendous psychological pressure to Lin Yi.

In order to have a chance of survival in this cruel world, he must always remain highly alert and calm.

Lin Yi took a deep breath and began to carefully check his clothes.

He had already noticed that what he was wearing at this moment was not the martial arts uniform he wore when he entered this space, but a typical Japanese school uniform.

This change made him realize that this so-called "paradise" would never do anything without a purpose, and there must be a special meaning behind such an arrangement.

After a careful search, Lin Yi finally found a neatly folded piece of paper in the pocket of his school uniform pants.

With a bit of curiosity and anticipation, he carefully unfolded the paper.

The handwriting on the paper is clear and the content is easy to understand.

Written on the paper was a welcome message to Lin Yi, congratulating him on becoming an exchange student at Fujimi University, and the words revealed expectations and goodwill towards him.

At the bottom of the paper, the seals of the principal and the school are prominently stamped, making it look formal and solemn.

Lin Yi looked at the paper and had already made up his mind.

Lin Yi looked at the brand on his hand, and then a few lines of text appeared in front of him.

1. Personal information.

2. Task
3. Storage space. 4. Skills.

Five, equipment.

The level is too low and other functions are not unlocked...

Except for the first item (personal information) and the second item (task), Lin Yi has no use for the others for now.

After opening the task option, the specific information of the main task appeared in front of Lin Yi.

[Main Mission: Solve the Source of the Corpse Outbreak]

Difficulty level: LV.3.

Mission brief: Behind every disaster, there is always an unknown secret. The outbreak of the virus also has its source.

Mission information: You need to use all available resources and means to find the source of the dead body virus outbreak within a limited time.

Mission duration: one week

Mission reward: Hunter identity fully activated.

Failure penalty: deprivation of the brand and the hunter loses the qualification to be a contractor.

Click on the personal interface, Lin Yi's personal information is as follows:
Contractor No. 18018. (To protect the hunter, this is a false number, and the hunter cannot be locked by any means.)

[Personal information is for the convenience of hunters to estimate their own strength, and has nothing to do with real combat effectiveness. The level of attribute values ​​​​will affect the physical fitness of the hunter, but combat is not only determined by physical fitness, so hunters should be cautious]

After becoming familiar with the many functions of the brand on his hand, Lin Yi straightened his Japanese school uniform and stepped out of the dim alley.

As soon as he came to the street, he was immediately attracted by the scene before him.

Many residents stopped to watch, their eyes fixed on the huge screen in the center of the square.

On the screen, the news anchor was reporting in a serious tone the emergence of a new infectious disease and solemnly calling on citizens to minimize outdoor activities to reduce the risk of infection.

Lin Yi's heart was slightly moved, and he thought to himself, "Has the infection started to break out somewhere?"

He quickly asked passers-by about the exact location of the Fujimi Institute, while paying close attention to media reports on the surrounding televisions.

From the blurry images and the nervous tone of the announcer, he keenly realized that a small-scale infection of corpses seemed to have occurred in some places.

Lin Yi is well aware of the severity of the situation. This virus is likely to break out soon, and the whole world will then fall into unprecedented chaos and suffering.

In order to find the source of the dead body virus as soon as possible, Lin Yi quickened his pace and hurried to the Fujimi University School.

If Lin Yi's memory is correct, then Takagi Saya's father, Takagi Soichiro, as a congressman, chose to live in a country villa far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. This behavior is indeed somewhat unusual.

Against the backdrop of the impending doomsday, Soichiro Takagi's identity as a member of parliament means that he maintains close ties with senior government officials and elites from all walks of life.

Such an identity is likely to give him the opportunity to access some secrets that are difficult for ordinary people to touch.

Lin Yi speculated that it was very likely that Takagi Soichiro had learned some information about the impending catastrophic event in advance.

This news may be related to the outbreak of the dead body virus, and may even involve key information about the source of the virus.

Soichiro Takagi chose to live in a villa in the countryside, away from the city, most likely out of his foresight and prevention of the impending disaster.
