Chapter 52 The Peerless Garlic 6

At 3 pm, inside the building of Allerbmu, Pan Feng and Hwa Xiong led Xiao Tan as they cut their way to the top floor. The elevator that went from the ground floor to the 52nd floor was broken, and the entrance to the fire escape was broken down at the ground floor as well. But the elevators that led to the other floors were still usable.

They took trips up different elevators from the first floor to the seventh floor and then from the seventh floor to the tenth floor, and then they changed elevator again. Repeating this process, they finally reached the 42nd floor.

Along the way, they ran into two other mini bosses, but before Pan Feng and Hwa Xiong, they were completely defenseless, and they were cut down in less than three minutes. Facing normal BW Zombies was even easier; they were cut down like grass.

Xiao Tan learned many things following behind them. When it came to battle, he did not even have a chance to join the fray; it felt like he was a mafia boss cleaning up the scene with his best fighters and only needed to stay back to watch.

"Big brothers..." On the stairs between 42nd and 43rd floor, Xiao Tan finally asked, "Are you planning to clear your way to the top and then go back down?"

"That would be a negative," Hwa Xiong replied. "We’re going to go save that Professor Ashford."

Xiao Tan was confused. "Er... I’m not sure if it’s too late for me to bring this up, but I glanced at the building layout when we were on the first floor, and the lab is in the basement, not on the top floor..."

Theoretically speaking, when they heard him say something like that at that juncture, they should come up with reply like, "Why didn’t you say that earlier?"

But to his surprise, the two appeared completely unfazed. Hwa Xiong turned back to laugh. "Ha ha, little buddy, we know the lab is in the basement, but that doesn’t mean the professor will be in the lab, right?"

If the professor is not at the lab, where would he be? Xiao Tan thought internally. In the toilet?

Based on the common trope used in sci-fi movies, after the explosion of the virus, a researcher would normally find a relative safe location to quarantine themselves and find a way to control the virus or call for help. The top floor of the building was marked as an ’office space’, so if Professor Ashford was really there, he would be zombie food already.

Even though Xiao Tan had his suspicions, he did not voice them because he was being carried. What grounds did he have to complain? Even if it was later proved that they had gone the wrong way, he only needed to follow those two back down the building.

The plan was to find a serum inside the lab and to investigate whether Xiao Tan and the other two players were there or not. If they were not, it meant that they had headed upstairs; if they were, there had to be a reason to explain the ambush at the elevator.

...

At the same time, in front of the gun store, Atobe-sama and Ming Zi grabbed a sofa and placed it in the middle of the road. The two sat on it and used the zombies that were shuffling slowly toward them as target practice.

Of course, as relaxing as that was, they still maintained some caution. After all, with their accuracy, landing a headshot at a long distance was quite difficult. For those zombies that fell over from a hit to the legs, they would walk over to inspect whether the zombies were really dead or not. Those that were still alive would be rewarded with a shot to the head.

The guns in the shop were generally useable by those with F in general ability, so they had a lower equip requirement than the M1911A1 Pistol that Feng Bujue had found when he was level five. Obviously for scenarios above level ten, the limitation on the usage of firearms was relaxed so that players who had not unlocked the marksmanship mastery had the chance to do so.

"Hey, look, what is that?" Ming Zi suddenly saw a strange shadow that was coming from afar.

Atobe-sama was facing the opposite direction, but he turned around to look. "Could that be... another player?"

The person’s movement was not that of a zombie, and that was why it had attracted Ming Zi’s attention. As ’she’ approached, the two finally got a closer look.

It was a young lady with great proportions and hair to her shoulders. She had a pretty, oval face. Her skin was fair with deep, rippling eyes, a high nose, and small lips. She was wearing a black tuxedo that was too small for her figure. It accentuated her slender frame, forming a great contrast to the volume around her chest.

"In any case, she’s not wearing the outfit made default by the system," Ming Zi said.

"Hmm... You have a point, and from her looks, I don’t think she’d call herself Unparalleled General Pan Feng or Thousand Kills Hwa Xiong," Atobe said. "That Feng Bujue told us Wang Tanzhi is his friend and is also a male player, so there shouldn’t be a female player in this scenario..."

"But she doesn’t look like a monster either. Is she an NPC?" Ming Zi asked.

"Let’s try to talk to her." Atobe raised the TMP and aimed it at the beauty, shouting, "Stop! Who are you?"

The answer that he got was a smile on her lips. Several seconds later, the smile turned into a wicked grin, revealing the fangs that it had been hiding.
