An old radio was quietly placed on the table, and the sound of electric current crackled. The inverted blazing lights on the ceiling were slightly lit, and the light sources of light flashed and interlaced the silent figures, outlining the absurd and terrifying ghosts. The dark red color appeared on the rotten wood floor, creating a postmodern atmosphere of sad doomsday.

There were six people in this narrow basement. Although they couldn't see their appearance clearly, their dark hair and black eyes showed typical yellow-like characteristics. These people squatted in the darkness in tacit understanding, silent, and their breathing gradually overlapped into a dull and strange tone, urging people to drowsy.

Bang—

The locked iron door opened and four leopard figures suddenly rushed out, and their bodies were wrapped in black one-piece leather case, just like the "special forces" that often appear in movies. As soon as they entered the door, they immediately cooperated in the position in an instinctive manner to form a triangular cross-fire network, leaving the last person to supplement the gap. The dark muzzle pointed directly in all directions. After going around, they seemed to find that there was no threat, so they slowly lowered it.

"So many newcomers?" The person who stepped into the room finally saw the environment clearly with the lights, then pulled open the thick face cover, revealing a typical East Asian male face, with a slightly nervous smile.

"It seems... the terminal has sent you the information...it saves me the effort of explaining."

"Brother, please, let me go, I really have no money!" Before he finished speaking, a figure emerged from the corner of the wall, rolled and crawled under his legs, and shouted in a whimpering voice: "I know you must be a TV station program, I will give you my phone to you, let me go... I have something urgent to do, I really can't delay it!"

Infected by his hoarseness, the originally silent figures around him were ready to move, but immediately became quiet again. A dull sound suddenly suppressed all the noise they were disturbing.

Bang—This is the blasting sound of the bullet being accelerated by gunpowder through the chamber of the gun. It shot out from the muzzle at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, brushing the pleader's earlobe, and punching a dark hole on the floor with a "pop".

Although it is common in TV and movie bosses, when this weapon that is enough to hurt lives really appears in front of them, these ordinary people who have been comfortable for decades are instantly trapped in a hysterical fear. As for the poor young man who was brushing his earlobes, he simply fainted from his eyes.

"Ah--" The sharp female scream was forcibly stopped before halfway, and she hurriedly covered her mouth with tears, because the fierce man held the gun with the smoke rising from the gun, and said slowly:

"Whoever quarrels again, I'll give him one..."

So all the chaos came to an abrupt end. The man grinned his teeth and smiled, clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"You are so good at this... Although you may not be able to figure out the situation, unfortunately, the only relief before entering hell was also lost because of your misfortune. But it is ironic that I can make some extra money smoothly...ha."

Although the man behaved strangely, he quickly gave a corresponding explanation. Of course, whether he believed it or not was not within his concern.

According to him, the situation of these newcomers who were inexplicably "kidnapping" is similar to the "reincarnation" described in a popular novel in previous years. In this first "open" world, we should have done some simple newcomer tasks to improve ourselves, and the transformation from otaku/white-collar worker/housewife to warrior.

Unfortunately... this place, which is nicknamed "novice base", has fallen into a strange situation and encountered an unexplainable situation. According to this veteran's unremarkable explanation, using the game as an example, it is similar to the place where the original "newcomer safety zone" in the game suddenly appeared due to some error. In short, this situation has exceeded the limit of the newcomer's response, so... it is far more than the "core" of the humanized "main god" in the novel. In the comprehensive area called "starland", the task of "save a rookie" was issued.

save:

Given that the "Urban-Miami" was invaded by unknown viruses, the challenge was increased and exceeded the limit of the original teleported newcomers, a special task was issued: search for newcomers trapped in the world, and after reaching a contract, assist them in completing basic tasks and leaving the world.

Each successful help of a newcomer will receive a reward of 300 information points.

After accepting the mission, you will be forced to teleport to the world. If you fail to assist a newcomer within three days, you will be punished with a deduction of 500 points and will be forced to return to the Astral Realm.

"Okay...this is almost the case." The man looked at the pink newcomer who looked at each other and longed for him. He smiled slightly, pointed at a fashionable girl by the wall and asked, "What is the newcomer task displayed on your terminal?"

"Ah..." The selected girl shrank back in fear, and her head hit the wall behind her. She almost cried out in pain. She took out the cell phone in her pocket in tears, pulled it away in a hurry, and said tremblingly: "Yes...'Kill ten zombies'."

"Well... a very simple task. As expected, the task will change with reality, but the difficulty is similar... I remember when I first came here, it was a normal city, and I received the task to defeat three bad boys. Ha, I didn't know the world at that time, so I just followed it rashly. Good guy, but I met a lot of people who happened to hold a sex party, and I was really beaten to the point of being beaten with a bruised face."

Although I don’t understand why it is the same difficulty of knocking down a bad boy as “killing zombies”, the man’s murmurs and silences made the girl’s nervous expression ease. Under his guidance, he trembled and clicked “Agree” with the terminal.

A faint light shone through her cell phone and penetrated into the man's bulging waist. A low voice immediately sounded in the girl's heart, prompting the two parties to reach a contract. This magical experience immediately changed the girl's original perfunctory attitude. She was so scared that she hid behind him and refused to come forward.

Seeing that the rest of the people were still hesitant, the man patted his forehead and said in surprise: "I almost forgot to say... In the core evaluation of our 'Fenglin' ​​team, we are a senior team of 'Bronze'... Well, you don't understand it very much, it's at least a 'Bronze' team, right, it's like this."

He said, stepping on the wall casually.

Bang—The dull sound suddenly echoed in the secret room, and the place he had stepped on was like stepping on foam, revealing the contours of deep footprints, cracking out several fine lines. A newcomer who did not believe in evil—or held a certain lucky mentality, immediately secretly knocked the wall with his arm, making a solid muffled sound of "dongdong". Seeing everyone looking at him, he was so scared that he buried his head under his body and did not dare to move.

"Ha..." The veteran who called himself "Maple Leaf" just laughed in a low voice. It seemed that he had long been used to this behavior. With the leading demonstration effect, the human herd mentality immediately exploded, and he rushed over and told his tasks, mostly "reaching some places" and "killing several zombies". A large Han team member who had prepared a long time ago immediately met and began to reach contracts one by one.

Maple Ye looked around with a smile, stunned for a moment, but saw two figures curled up in the shadows on the corner of the wall without moving, and couldn't help but come over with curiosity.

Through the dim light, the outline of the figure in the shadow was revealed: his thin figure squatted in the corner of the wall and curled up, and his clothes were torn and torn. The Maple Leaf could not help but frown and retreated, but the strange colors of blisters raised on his body exuded a nauseous smell, like a severe swelling patient. He continued to look up. A hat like a medieval leather helmet was worn on his head, covering his face, and faintly exposed the purple-red lump of his cheeks as narrow as a centipede.

"Man, you are really unlucky..." Maple Ye smacked her lips: According to the "core" selection of people with high negative emotions, some disabled and seriously ill patients are common among the newcomers. Under normal circumstances, they will receive relatively easy tasks to complete and then go to the astral realm to repair them. However, in this kind of collapse and bad situation, such unlucky newcomers are tantamount to being directly sentenced to death.

"Aren't you here to save us? Just ignore him?" He was about to turn around and leave when he was out of sight, a faint and gentle female voice suddenly came from the shadow. He realized that there was another person hiding here. Looking at him, he couldn't help but show his pity.

This is a young woman with a dignified temperament, with her long soft hair draped over her shoulders and a warm yellow dress. Her appearance is not beautiful, but with a gentle and gentle smell, her eyebrows are slightly frowning and her forehead is slightly wet. What attracts the maple leaves is her high and bulging belly. Obviously, this is a pregnant woman who has been pregnant for a long time, and it is really unfortunate to enter this dangerous world.

Perhaps before I had time to feed all the dogs, Maple Leaf suddenly felt soft: "This lady... you should sign a contract with me quickly. Our "Maple Forest Team" will help you complete the basic tasks and arrive at the astral realm as soon as possible. When you get there, you should be able to make a request for safe and premature birth to the "core" and make the children in your stomach safe."

The woman's breathing was a little short of breath, obviously a little moved, but she immediately pulled her hair on her forehead, pointed at the person trembling in the wall and asked, "What should he do? If he didn't have your help, he would not be able to complete the task at all!"

"Well... I'm afraid you've made something wrong." Maple Ye looked at her in surprise and replied coldly, "We are just greedy for the rewards given by the 'core' to help you. We are not the so-called saints who sacrifice themselves as others. Helping such waste that is difficult to walk to carry out tasks, the income and expenditure are disproportionate. Maybe all those who are dragged down are destroyed. I have to be responsible for my brothers."

"Then...you go, I have to stay and take care of him!" The woman hesitated for a moment, but replied with difficulty, "My husband... died because of 'hepatic edema'. At that time, I was busy with my career every day and didn't even see the last time. I would never make the same mistake!"

Maple Ye was stunned, but he didn't expect to encounter such a strange coincidence. Seeing this woman's firm expression that was almost unreasonable as a martyr, she spread her hands helplessly and was about to continue to persuade her, when the newlyweds who were originally crowded together suddenly came a timid and tender voice.

"If you don't help Aunt Liu, Uncle, then Momo will not leave."

Maple Leaf turned his head, but saw a black light pounce on him. He subconsciously retreated in horror. He vaguely saw a cold cold light passing across his cheeks. He subconsciously pulled out his gun, but breathed a sigh of relief. With a sharp "meow" cry, a black cat leaped on his body and lay down in the young woman's arms, and meowed at him. His emerald green pupils showed a humanized sarcasm.

Then came the source of the sound just now - a little girl, about 11 or 2 years old, with short shoulder-length hair and wearing a sky blue suspender-wearing children's clothing, with a pale face and a pitiful smell. The soft little hand holding Maple Leaf's right hand made him bizarrely feel a stimulating feeling of snakes. He shook his head and got rid of this strange illusion and asked: "Little girl, this is not a joke... Are you sure you want to die with these two people?"

"Mumo is a boy...Mumo also wants to help others!" This extremely cute "little girl" raised her chest and exposed her imperceptible Adam's apple, and said in a whisper.

Maple Leaf touched his forehead and felt that the newcomer he met today was simply unreasonable than what he had experienced before. It was extremely strange. He was also a soft-hearted person who was used to life and death. He scolded angrily:

"I really gained knowledge today. A group of old, weak, sick and disabled people gathered together to play with me on purpose, right? I want to die and send it to you myself. I am not your parents, so I feel sorry for you?"

He turned around and walked, took a few steps, turned his head again, and saw that the three people in the corner of the wall were still looking at the unmoved appearance. He looked at the newcomer who was messing around, tugging his hair in trouble, but then he turned back, pulling out a black light from his waist, scaring them and handing them over.

"Here... I've never seen you stupid like you... Take it, I'll just give you a loss and give you a glorious bullet for suicide, so as not to be swallowed by zombies and suffer." He smashed the dark pistol in his hand on the white hand that the lady took, threw another magazine before turning around and leaving.

"Brothers, retreat. This ghost place can be finished earlier and leave earlier." He and three other team members left without looking back, surrounded by the newcomers. The backs in the distance disappeared, and a "da da" gunshot was still heard.

In a blink of an eye... the originally bustling basement became empty, leaving only the young woman, the "boy" and the patient who insisted on staying behind, and well, there was also a lively black cat jumping around.

Liu Shuixin bit her lip and held the slightly cold heavy object in her hand tightly. The moment she took the weapon, she told her that the pistol was a light police pistol called "UPS" and some basic information for use. A panting hoarse voice sounded, which scared her.

"I said... why are you so disobeying... I said I am different from you. Wouldn't you please follow them obediently? I don't know you." The person who spoke was a miserable patient who bowed his head. He muttered and gasped, "Hurry up, while they have not yet walked away, I should be able to catch up. I am very powerful... able to take good care of myself."

In response to him, a white arm that stretched out gently brushed across his forehead. The young woman whispered, "You are like this, don't show off..." She hesitated for a moment and continued, "Listen to them, the tasks we received should be easy to complete. As long as we work hard, the three of us can definitely complete the tasks without relying on them!"

"What's your mission? Mine is...'Go to Manchester Bar within three days'? It seems that you are looking for a map. Momo, where are you?" This woman, who seemed to be weak but had amazing movements, immediately got rid of her fear and asked the child next to her with great enthusiasm.

"Things are not that simple..." The patient with a strange leather helmet sighed in her heart when she saw her optimistic look:

"This is not a training camp... I didn't expect to return to this ghost place again... That kind of despair with infinite improvement is really..." Although he had never spoken, his body trembled slightly, as if he was afraid, but he was even more excited. Even his spine stimulated a cold wetness, which made him murmured in a chanting tone:

"It's so great... It's great to crush such a desperate thing with your own hands. Thank you so much... Ms. Ye!"

………………………………………

"Dada..." The human figure that was walking slowly and dull was immediately penetrated by the accumulated bullets, splattering a pool of black blood, and then turned into a fall to the ground, stiff and motionless, almost knocked into a pile of blood.

"Okay... it's dead, don't waste bullets, it's very expensive." Maple Ye pulled out the Su-made AK-PK machine gun that the girl was holding tightly in time, and helped her twist her arm that was dislocated due to recoil, and said with heartache.

"Thank you..." The girl who was so shocked and calm gradually recovered, thanked her pale face, suddenly exclaimed, pointed at his face hesitantly and asked:

"Captain, why is there blood on your face?"

Maple Ye touched it in surprise, and found a light blood-stained mark on his right cheek, but he couldn't remember when he was injured.

"Ah!" The girl suddenly screamed, pointed at Maple Leaf's right hand touching her face in panic and said, "Your hand..."

"So what's wrong?" Maple Ye raised his right hand irritatedly, his expression was stunned, and he immediately became solemn. Compared to his rosy and healthy wrist, the palm of his right hand and the five fingers were all strangely pale, vaguely showing dry and thinness. You can even vaguely see the contours of the fingers. The most important thing is that he did not feel any discomfort from beginning to end.

The short team member on the side took a look, his face changed, he took out a bottle of transparent injection and pricked it and injected it into it. Seeing that his hand like a dry claw gradually became rosy and plump, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help asking:

"This is obviously a 'life absorption' of 'ghost'. How could it appear in this city covered by viruses? And it seems that the other party just absorbed a little bit of anger and didn't even suck the essence and blood in his palms. This is abnormal... Captain, what did you do?"
