Game Over!
Because the beginner mode started as a single-player experience, the Adventurers hadn't considered the issue of infection.
“It seems if a teammate gets bitten, we have to kill them immediately.”
“Yeah, can’t keep them.”
“But this game is really well-designed; people who get bitten to death by zombies don’t immediately exit, but instead become zombie-view and continue playing.”
“It’s really interesting.”
The Adventurers immediately discussed and absorbed the failed experiences of this initial team.
Then came the second team.
There were clearly very skilled Adventurers among them.
Without weapons of their own, before opening the door, they first used a table to prop it up from behind.
Then they opened the door.
The zombies outside rushed in frantically but were blocked by the door.
“Hahahahaha, I told you so!”
That Adventurer easily swung his blade, cutting down the zombies that couldn't squeeze through the door one by one.
Using this method, they quickly attracted all the zombies in the hallway and cleared them out.
After clearing the zombies, the five walked out of the room and into the hospital hallway.
“It’s temporarily safe. Let’s search first to see if there’s any equipment we can pick up.”
“Right, let’s check all these patient rooms first. Although it will waste time, it can provide a reference for everyone.”
“You’re right.”
The five quickly sprang into action.
“Be careful, there are still some zombies in the patient rooms.”
“Oh crap, help!”
An Adventurer who entered a patient room was accidentally pounced on and knocked to the ground by a nurse zombie that lunged out from the side.
Struggling, he made it to the hallway.
The others immediately rushed out when they heard the sound.
Bang!
After a gunshot, the attacking zombie was killed.
“Found a gun?”
Hearing the gunshot, everyone was a little excited.
If one person found a gun, it meant everyone had found a gun.
The stronger Adventurer flipped the pistol in his hand and walked over from the nurse’s station.
“There are four more pistols over there. They must be the starting weapons Lord Chen specifically placed here. As long as we clear out the zombies in the hallway, we’ll naturally encounter them on the way out.”
“I see.”
“Wait, what are you doing?”
“What am I doing?” The stronger Adventurer directly raised his pistol and aimed it at the head of his companion who had been bitten by a zombie.
“He’s already been bitten by a zombie, so of course, he needs to be dealt with promptly.”
With that, he fired a shot, blowing his teammate’s head off.
“……”
Outside, the chat remained silent for a long time.
“This Dungeon is really something special.”
“What that Adventurer said makes a lot of sense; if a teammate gets bitten, they need to be dealt with promptly.”
“Thinking about it, this zombie horde is quite terrifying. Luckily, we can’t die. If it really happened in reality, it would be disastrous.”
“Yeah, just thinking about it gives me the chills.”
“This is much more terrifying than those horror Dungeons.”
Currently, more than twenty teams are engaged in combat within the Dungeon.
Most of them had already cleared the zombies from the hallway.
However, when they arrived at the hospital entrance, everyone was surprised to find that several teams had actually met up?
“Holy crap! What’s going on…?”
At this moment, it wasn't just these few teams inside who were stunned.
All the Adventurers in the chat channel outside were completely stunned!
“Holy crap!”
“Holy crap!”
“Holy crap!”
At such a time, only these two words seemed capable of expressing their inner feelings.
What appeared in their eyes was nothing but shock!
“Brothers, am I seeing this right? I originally thought that with five-person teams, each team was in a separate Dungeon world, but it… it…”
“It turns out it’s the same world, just that they spawned in different rooms.”
“I knew it! I saw that the environment of other teams was slightly different from ours. Some starting locations weren't even in a hospital. So that’s how it is.”
“So… this normal mode not only allows teams to play, but they’re even playing in the same large world?”
“Holy crap!”
“Then how big must this map be? This isn’t an entertainment Dungeon like Happy Chess and Cards; this is a combat-oriented one! Lord Chen must have made a map as big as a small town…”
However, this Adventurer still underestimated Chen Yu’s abilities.
The large map Chen Yu created was a super-large city.
Let alone accommodating 160 Adventurers.
It could even accommodate 10,000 at the same time without an issue.
And the maximum capacity Chen Yu set for a single world was 10,000 Adventurers. When 10,000 people had entered in order, a new Raccoon City would automatically open up.
As for the in-game time, it was consistent with real-world time. Every morning, a nuclear bomb would explode in Raccoon City.
This was also one of Chen Yu's settings.
He set the difficulty of escaping Raccoon City to be extremely high. Aside from the helicopter on the top floor of that skyscraper, Adventurers could only rely on themselves to figure out various methods.
And there was only one helicopter.
In other words, out of the 10,000 Adventurers who entered, perhaps only 4 would be able to clear the game alive.
Furthermore.
All Adventurer teams were hostile to each other.
When they met, they would find that “Hostile” was displayed above each other’s heads.
And to encourage combat among Adventurers, killing an Adventurer would grant Soul Stone energy, which could be used to purchase permanent equipment in the initial interface.
After understanding all of this.
When the Adventurer teams in the hospital looked at each other again, their gazes had changed.
And just then.
Everyone unexpectedly discovered an incredibly massive zombie appearing at the hospital entrance.
His body was huge and muscular, with extremely thick arms, like an over-exercised bodybuilder.
With just one swing, he sent a broken statue at the hospital entrance flying.
The chat channel outside immediately erupted.
“Holy crap!”
“This one looks really cool. If the Licker is agile, then this one must be strength-based. Its combat power looks explosive.”
“It seems this is one of the bosses in normal mode.”
“But how do we fight this?”
The Adventurer teams at the hospital entrance stopped their standoff and instead focused their attention on the large brute at the entrance, scratching their heads.
After all, this zombie named Tank looked difficult to beat.
If it were a Licker, they might still be able to launch a surprise attack, and pistol shots might even cause some damage.
This one in front of them?
Pistol shots would probably feel like tickles, completely useless.
