Apocalyptic loot game

Chapter 8 Weird Shopping Mall
  Yi Xiao clenched the ax in his hand and approached the zombie step by step.

He worked so hard to get the player qualification, not just to survive!
  Using a car on the roadside as a cover and cleverly avoiding the sight of the zombies, Yi Xiao successfully approached within five meters of the zombies.

The zombie suddenly stopped wandering and raised its head, as if to identify the smell in the air.

Seeing the zombie's movements, Yi Xiao knew that he should have been discovered!
  But it's no longer important. At his current speed, this distance can be covered in an instant!

He kicked the ground hard with his right foot, stirring up a cloud of dust. His body was like lightning, and he quickly approached the zombies.

The sudden noise caught the zombie's attention. Just as it was about to turn around, a huge ax came towards him and struck him hard in the face!
  In this way, a zombie was successfully killed by Yi Xiao without making any resistance.

The noise here attracted the attention of another zombie not far away.

It turned its head and found a living person standing in front of it. It immediately roared and rushed towards Yi Xiao! To zombies, living people are prey!
  "Well done!" It's not up to the zombies to decide who is the hunter and who is the prey!
  Yi Xiao did not retreat but advanced, rushing towards the zombies. When they were about to meet again, Yi Xiao turned slightly sideways, dodged the two life-threatening claws, raised his ax and dropped it, completing a double kill!

"It's a pity that the weapon is still a bit inappropriate." Yi Xiao said to himself.

Because he was using a model ax without an open blade, Yi Xiao had to swing it with all his strength to ensure nothing went wrong.

He leaned over and took out two energy crystals, then wiped the ax on the zombie.

Suddenly, another roar came from the distance.

"Oops!" Yi Xiao's expression changed. He didn't expect that these zombies were so sensitive to sounds that they would be noticed even from such a distance!
  Seeing nearly ten zombies heading this way in the distance, Yi Xiao's scalp suddenly went numb.

run!
  Facing this number of zombies, although it is not impossible to deal with them, there is no guarantee that you will not be injured.

"Damn it! I must grab a hundred energy crystals!"

If you collect a hundred energy crystals as soon as possible, you can exchange them for antibody potions. Then you won’t have to be so timid!
  Yi Xiao ran quickly towards the shopping mall while secretly making up his mind.

Because the chasing zombies kept roaring, the noisy sound attracted more zombies, and the zombies were like snowballs, gathering more and more. "Damn it, just chase me. Why are you shouting?"

As Yi Xiao ran, he kept looking back. Looking at the large group of dark zombies behind him, he did not dare to stop at all.

Fortunately, Yi Xiao's speed was far faster than ordinary people. The zombies could only roar behind them, but it was wishful thinking to catch up with Yi Xiao. If I can't fight, can I still not run?
  Finally, the gate of the shopping mall appeared in Yi Xiao's field of vision. At this time, there were hundreds of zombies following him! Most of them are attracted by the sounds along the way.

"How could this happen!" Yi Xiao saw the horrifying scene.

There was actually a group of zombies gathered at the mall gate, dozens of them!

And most of them were lingering at the gate. Now when they heard the sound, they all looked at Yi Xiao.

"Damn it!" Yi Xiao was forced to change direction. He didn't expect that there were so many zombies in the mall. If he forced his way in, it would be the same as wandering.

Yi Xiao drew a huge arc and relied on his super high speed to successfully bypass the oncoming zombies.

Yi Xiao's face was solemn. He did not expect that things would develop to this point. If this continues, when his energy is exhausted, he will be overwhelmed by the zombies chasing after him!
  "No, we have to find a way!"

Suddenly, Yi Xiao noticed the exhaust fan at the back of the mall and came up with a plan.

The height of the exhaust fan is between the first floor and the second floor. Yixiao's current physical fitness is enough for him to fight at this height.

With the help of this exhaust fan, he might be able to reach the second floor directly!
  After looking at the zombies chasing behind him, Yi Xiao took a deep breath and found wealth in danger!
  Do it when you think of it!

Yi Xiao went around an arc and successfully reached the back of the mall.

With his eyes fixed on the exhaust fan, he used the inertia of speed to jump hard!
  It worked!
  Yi Xiao grabbed the exhaust fan with both hands, looked back at the zombies getting closer and closer, no longer hesitated, held up his hands, and climbed onto the exhaust fan. At this time, the window on the second floor was already within reach!

Swing the ax to break the glass, grab the edge of the window sill, flip over and jump into the mall!
  "Huh - it's really dangerous!" Looking at the dark heads below, Yi Xiao let out a long sigh of relief.

This group of unintelligent zombies could not climb or even jump. They could only roar at Yi Xiao from below.

Seeing this, Yi Xiao no longer cared about the zombies below, and slowly sat down against the wall, greedily breathing the surrounding air.

He thought that with his current strength, he could protect himself, but he didn't expect that the zombies were more troublesome than he thought. As long as he was not careful, he would attract a large number of zombies, and they were like dog-skin plaster, which he could not get rid of.

After he was safe, he suddenly felt a strong sense of hunger in his belly. He had exhausted a lot of energy throughout the afternoon and now he was in urgent need of replenishing some energy!
  This shopping mall is familiar to Yi Xiao. The first floor is a supermarket, the second to fifth floors are some clothing and other products, the sixth floor is a small food court, and the seventh floor is a gym.

If you want to find food, you can only go to the first and sixth floors. But in this situation, it is obviously unreasonable to go to the first floor. From the outside, there are not a few zombies on the first floor.

"Then we have to go to the sixth floor." Yi Xiao picked up the ax and walked towards the stairs.

In old shopping malls like this, there are no escalators, only escalators and stairs for safe passages.

In this case, sitting on the escalator is courting death. Who knows what will greet you when the door opens, and you will be blocked inside and unable to escape.

Perhaps it was because everyone ran downstairs due to the disaster. There were not many zombies on this floor. There was only one lone zombie, which was easily dealt with by Yi Xiao. After harvesting another elemental energy crystal, Yi Xiao came to the stairs.

He stretched out his hand to open the heavy door, and suddenly, an inexplicable heart palpitation suddenly surged into his heart.

The dark and quiet corridor is like a beast hiding in the darkness, choosing people to eat.

Yi Xiao swallowed, hesitating a little. This strong uneasiness gave him an ominous feeling, and his subconscious was very resistant to moving forward.

"I was really scared by those zombies. I'm actually afraid of the dark." He shook his head and put aside the uneasy thoughts in his heart. We have come this far, is it possible that we still need to retreat?
  Now that the outside is surrounded by zombies, and night is about to come, the sixth floor is the only source of food now, and it can also provide him with a refuge.

How could he be willing to retreat just because of the sense of crisis?
  He took out his cell phone, but there was still no signal, but Yi Xiao’s purpose was not to make calls. In this case, the cell phone could be used as a lighting tool!

It was unexpectedly quiet in the stairs, and there wasn't even a zombie! The quieter it gets, the stronger the sense of crisis in Yi Xiao's heart.

"Could it be possible that everyone ran away?" Yi Xiao thought to himself.

At this time, he had already reached the fifth floor, which was only one floor away from the sixth floor, but the uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger, as if something very bad was about to happen.

He tightened the ax in his hand and continued moving forward, finally reaching the sixth floor.

Reach out and hold the door handle, take a deep breath, and adjust yourself to the best condition.

It stands to reason that the food court should be the place with the most people in the entire shopping mall. Even if there is no meal time when a disaster breaks out, there will be no shortage of customers.

Once the door is opened, he may face a large number of zombies and must deal with them carefully!

creak-

Due to aging, the door made a sound when it was opened, which was particularly harsh in the silent corridor, and the already nervous heart beat faster.

Yi Xiao held the ax in front of him and quickly scanned the environment on the sixth floor.

No zombies! Yi Xiao didn't see a single zombie! There is not a single zombie on this sixth floor!

The tables and chairs on the entire sixth floor were smashed to pieces, and blood could be seen everywhere on the ground. You can clearly feel how tragic it was here when the disaster struck!

But in such a messy situation, there was not a single zombie!

Weird! Everything in front of me is full of weirdness.

Yi Xiao walked carefully towards the sales window, looking around carefully every step he took.

It was a short journey that took ten minutes.

But until he walked to the window, nothing happened, as if all the zombies here had disappeared.

Carefully picking up a sausage, he opened the package and stuffed it into his mouth. Even while eating, Yi Xiao kept observing his surroundings and maintaining a high degree of vigilance.

In this situation, sausage is undoubtedly the best food. It is ready to eat, eliminating the need for cooking.

With a sausage in his stomach, his hunger was much reduced. Yi Xiao planned to explore the sixth floor carefully later, and then use the existing ingredients to make a big meal after making sure it was safe.

But at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly appeared.

"Trigger scenario mission: Predator in the Shadows!"

Yi Xiao will never forget this voice! Because it was this voice that announced the start of the game!
  Following this reminder, Yi Xiao had a piece of information in his mind.

Mission: Predator in the Shadows

Mission difficulty: low
  Mission description: Find the predator hiding in the shadows and kill it.

Task time limit: none
  Mission reward: forty points and random props
  Failure penalty: None
  "Is there still a mission?" Yi Xiao was stunned for a moment.

From the very beginning of the game, to obtaining player qualifications, to strengthening the mall, and now there are still missions appearing!

The world seems to have really become a game, and they have really become gamers.

The only difference is that if you die in this game, there is absolutely no option for resurrection!

　Big brother, hit me hard with your ticket!
