Everyone had recovered from the initial shock, and no longer had any doubts in their hearts about what the strong man in sunglasses had said before.
This kind of retinal projection technology without any external devices has far exceeded the current technological level they knew.
To take a step back, even if it is really a prank by some high-tech organization, ordinary people like them, who are unarmed, have no room for resistance. It is better to cooperate obediently and suffer less.
"The dialog box on the right is the taskbar, which generally represents what you want to do next, and is also a reminder to return to the real world."
The strong man in sunglasses licked his lips. The dry air in the Gobi made his throat uncomfortable.
When they heard the word "return", everyone subconsciously held their breath and raised their ears, fearing that they would miss any word of the strong man in sunglasses.
Luo Jie also glanced at the dialog box on the right side of the main panel.
——[Zombie siege in chaos] (Survival).
There is also a timer below that is counting down.
71:35:45.
Exactly the same as in memory.
"You are very lucky. The first time you enter the illusion, you encounter the simplest survival mission. As long as you protect yourself within the specified time limit, you will naturally be able to leave here when the time comes."
The strong man in sunglasses didn't seem to want to explain any more. After speaking, he threw the pocket loudspeaker back to the little tour guide next to him, and walked straight along the road towards the city at the end of his sight.
Beside the highway is a road sign with mottled paint, and the iron sheet with its nails peeled off rattles in the wind.
Welcome_to_Fortune_City.
Welcome to Lucky City.
…
Good Luck City.
It is not so much a city as it is a large entertainment shopping mall located in the vast Gobi Desert.
When everyone braved the scorching sun at noon and worked hard to reach the outskirts of Lucky City, they found that this place had already become a paradise for zombies.
Hundreds of zombies were wandering staggeringly in the huge square in front of the main entrance, like ragged drunkards. From time to time, a few were attracted by the sound of the wind, stumbling after the garbage, their rotten throats rolling.
He let out waves of unwilling roars.
The terrifying scene that once only appeared in movies and TV dramas was now vividly displayed in front of our eyes. Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and several timid women almost screamed. Fortunately, their companions quickly covered their mouths.
"Brother Sunglasses, what should we do now?"
The speaker was a good-looking young man named Jia Shuai, who was said to be the president of the student union of a certain university. Following him were members of the student union of the same school.
I don't know whether it's out of habit or some unknown little thought, but this person has been trying to win people's hearts overtly or covertly, trying to take over the leadership of the entire team.
In fact, he did succeed later.
In his previous life, this Jia Shuai not only became the leader of this team, he also controlled other people in the team by coercion or inducement, executing his so-called "plan", but in fact, he used the lives of others to gain himself a second position in the fantasy world.
A pot of gold.
"We?" Hearing Jia Shuai's inquiry, the strong man in sunglasses turned to look at him, shook his finger indifferently, and said: "Young man, don't make a mistake, it's you, not us."
"Brother, sunglasses, what do you mean?" Jia Shuai was obviously stunned. He vaguely heard the subtext of the strong man in sunglasses.
"We are all smart people, and some words that are too direct would be embarrassing."
The strong man in sunglasses lit up a cigarette leisurely, and light blue grids like 3D modeling appeared out of thin air all over his body. In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a soldier wearing a dark green jungle camouflage combat uniform.
It's just that this soldier's equipment is a bit poor. Apart from a bulletproof vest, his whole body is passable. His only weapon is a black machete about half a meter long.
"I would like to give you a piece of information - after you have accumulated 100 points, remember to upgrade your rank first, which can improve your physical fitness and increase your survival rate."
"Finally, good luck to you, poor rookies."
After saying that, the strong man in sunglasses threw away his cigarette butt, stood up from the bunker, and walked towards the zombies in the square with his machete in his hand, not forgetting to turn his back to them and give them a stylish thumbs up.
"Grass!"
Jia Shuai was so angry that he ripped off the yellow sunhat with the words "XX Travel Agency" printed on it from his head and threw it to the ground.
Along the way, he did not hesitate to humble himself and get close to the strong man in sunglasses, just to use the other person's strength to gain some benefits for himself, and at the worst, he could seek some protection. However, he never expected that the strong man in sunglasses did not follow the routine at all, and directly
He left everyone behind, including him.
Seeing this, Luo Jie couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart.
Senior players have never been trustworthy, and they have a bottom line if they don't make trouble for newcomers. They actually think about how to use the other party to seek benefits for themselves. It's really desperate.
"Why...he left? What should we do?"
Seeing a strong man in sunglasses slashing through a group of corpses and rushing into the main entrance of Lucky City, everyone who didn't know what was going on immediately panicked.
"Everyone, I have a plan."
It must be said that Jia Shuai is still a very capable leader. After a brief panic, he immediately controlled his emotions and used the prestige he had accumulated to try to control the team's voice.
"I just observed that these zombies only look scary, but are actually very slow. We only need to select a few young people who can run fast to temporarily lure these zombies away, and the rest can enter the city safely."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion after hearing this. To be fair, this idea is indeed a good idea, but the next question arises - who will lure away those zombies?
Seeing that no one came forward, Jia Shuai pretended to sigh helplessly and said: "Except the old man and the children, let the rest decide by drawing lots."
With that said, Jia Shuai asked for a handful of makeup cotton swabs from several girls, and dipped five of them in a little red nail polish as a mark.
The results came out quickly, and four men and one woman got the red lottery.
Among them, the girl who looked like a high school student collapsed on the spot, collapsed on the ground and cried loudly.
The man in the million-dollar suit was among them. When he saw the red lottery in his hand, his expression suddenly changed. He threw it to the ground and said: "Fuck! Who the hell do you think you are? Why do you want me to be cannon fodder?
Are these people sitting back and enjoying the benefits?”
Jia Shuai seemed not to have heard the curse from the man in the suit. He just looked at the other people who looked happy and asked harmoniously: "Do you have any opinions on the result of this lottery? Do you want to do it again?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison.
Just kidding, you managed to avoid being cannon fodder, who the hell wants to do it again? What if you get a red draw next time?
"Did you also see it? It's not that I don't give you this opportunity, but it's a collective decision."
Jia Shuai walked up to the man in the suit with a gentle smile, stretched out his hand to straighten his collar, and suddenly kicked the man to the ground hard. He stepped forward and grabbed the man's hair and lifted the man's head up.
He said ferociously: "What I hate the most in my life are scum like you who break the rules. Since you don't want the chance to be a hero, then just stay here and fend for yourself... Big Bear, miner, tie up this trash!"
Jia Shuai's sudden change of expression made the man in the suit completely confused. When he realized what he was doing, he wanted to ask for mercy, but it was too late.
Two strong boys pounced on him like wolves and pushed him to the ground, tied his limbs behind his back with a climbing rope, and wrapped several rounds of transparent tape around his mouth.
I have to say that Jia Shuai played the game beautifully.
First, draw lots to classify the majority of people as beneficiaries, and then use the so-called rules as a matter of course to punish a small group of people who are unwilling to be manipulated by him. In this way, most people must cooperate with them in order to safeguard their vested interests.
By standing on the same front, he can also use this to scare the monkeys and establish his authority in the entire team.
In his previous life, Luo Jie only thought that Jia Shuai was ruthless. It was not until he experienced a lot a few years later that he gradually figured out the deep meaning behind his various actions.
"It's really a pity. The mission that was supposed to be carried out by five people can now only be done by the four of you... Are there any problems?"
Jia Shuai's smile was as gentle as ever, even a bit like a warm man in an idol drama, but in the eyes of the four selected people, it was as if they saw a demon with fangs exposed.
"No...no." The four of them shook their heads repeatedly, and even the female high school student was so frightened that she got up from the ground.
There is a high chance of survival if you make bait, but if you are tied up and left in this hot and dry desert, you may not be able to survive even 24 hours, let alone three days.
They all have a clear mind on how to choose.
"Three...two...one!"
As the countdown ended, the four selected candidates gritted their teeth and rushed out of the bunker. They scattered towards their respective areas of responsibility according to the previously formulated plan.
The zombies wandering in the square were attracted by the scent of flesh and blood on these four people, and they all let out hoarse roars, dragging heavy steps and staggering towards the direction of the four people.
"Run! Run! Lead them into the desert!"
To be honest, Jia Shuai's plan itself was not problematic, but he still overestimated the mental endurance of the four selected candidates.
In front of the zombies surrounding them from all directions, the four of them were completely frightened. They completely forgot about Jia Shuai's previous instructions and just ran away desperately without even looking at how many zombies were following behind them.
The female high school student was cornered in a blind corner in a panic, and was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd of corpses. She could only vaguely hear a heartbreaking scream.
"These pigs!"
Jia Shuai's face also changed drastically. He knew that cursing could not solve any problem at this time and he had to make a decision immediately.
"Can't wait any longer, everyone rush in with me now!"
He said, "Follow me," but by helping the old man, Jia Shuai quietly fell a few positions behind the people in the front row.
In the previous life, Luo Jie was only focused on escaping and didn't pay attention, but this time he saw every move of the opponent.
No wonder Jia Shuai was able to climb up the player rankings step by step in his previous life and take the position of vice-president of his guild. Luo Jie thought he would definitely not be able to do this just because of his thick-faced and sinister heart.
No matter how stupid they were, everyone knew that there was something wrong with the original plan. They immediately ran out of the bunker like a swarm and followed the chaotic crowd towards the gate of Lucky City a hundred meters away.
It was impossible for such a large-scale crowd movement not to attract the attention of zombies. Except for the small number that was lured away, hundreds of zombies immediately turned around and rushed towards the center of the square.
