We walked outside and walked around the entire building for most of the way before we discovered that the entrance to the basement floor was not inside the house.
The stairs leading downwards were blocked by a fire door, which was locked with a U-lock on the handle.
"Stand back and let me do it."
Mushroom pulled out his gun.
Bang!
A mushroom bullet was fired, but missed.
It left a hole in the door but didn't hit the lock.
"snort."
Mosaichu frowned, took aim and pulled the trigger again.
Bang!
The bullet still missed.
Bang!
The bullet still missed.
Bang!
The bullets continued to miss.
Bang!
The bullets always missed.
Bang!
All the bullets missed the target.
“Good water.”
Shi Li couldn't help but applaud.
"You don't understand. This is also a technique! Mushroom!"
Mushroom Sai was a little annoyed.
"Forget it, I'll do it."
Shi Li walked over holding an iron rod.
Bang!
With one hit of the stick, the U-shaped lock was scrapped.
However, before he could open the door, it flew open.
【Ahhh! 】
A disfigured worker beast jumped out from inside.
This guy was wearing a safety helmet, his nose was collapsed and one of his eyes was even hanging out, and he had only a few teeth left in his mouth.
But his posture was quite agile, and this leap was aimed at Shi Li's face.
Bang!
However, a gunshot rang out from behind, piercing the beast's head directly.
It fell to the ground and struggled for a few times, then became completely motionless.
"?"
Shi Li looked behind him in confusion.
"I didn't aim this time."
Mosaichu blew at the muzzle of the gun proudly.
“…”
He was too weak to complain.
Because of the appearance of this zombie beast, the man and the mushroom became more cautious.
I thought the light on the underground first floor would be very dim, but when I walked in I found that there were lights on the ceiling.
Judging from the spacious structure here, it should be a parking lot.
The dried blue liquid and mud and other stains left obvious drag marks on the ground.
Broken pieces of wood and concrete were scattered all over the place.
It's a mess here anyway.
"It looks like there has been a fierce fight."
Mosaichu's eyes looked back and forth, trying to find the green figure.
As a result, some withered and yellow grass used as bedding was found in a half-broken wooden box nearby.
Thinking of Shi Li’s jokes just now, it almost thought that these were fragments of the straw man, but it seemed that it was not autumn yet.
"Hmm? Where are the people?"
But when he came to his senses, he found that Shi Li had disappeared.
"This way."
Shi Li's voice came from a distance, echoing in the empty parking lot.
Following the sound, Mosaicgu quickly found Shi Li and the straw man.
"You're here, grass."
At this time, the straw man was lying leisurely on a container and waved at Mushroom.
"You idiot, you're not dead yet."
Mushroom breathed a sigh of relief.
"You...did you kill all of these?"
Shi Li's attention was drawn to the situation around the container.
There were more than a dozen dead animals lying here in a mess, and not a single one was intact.
"Of course, grass."
The straw man nodded proudly.
"13 in total."
Shi Li counted them and looked at the mushrooms.
If it was this guy, it would probably take more than 100 bullets.
"Hey, who are you looking down on?"
Mushroom understood the look in his eyes.
But to be honest, neither the man nor the mushroom expected that the straw man would have such strong combat power.
Mushroom: "Is this the power of your equipment card?"
Strawman: "Grass, what is that?"
"Sure enough, you don't know anything."
So Shi Li explained it to it.
"I'm not pretending, damn."
The straw man spread his hands.
"You can really fight without any equipment? I don't believe it!
Mushroom's eyes widened.
In fact, this is all thanks to Cao Ren’s talent as a poker player, which he had not mentioned to them before.
[Walker from Another World]: The combat power in the dungeon increases significantly.
"It's really amazing. I didn't expect that you, who is usually just a silly person, would transform into someone else after entering the dungeon..."
After watching the talent it displayed as a card player, Shi Li sighed and said, "It has turned into a stupid sculpture with explosive fighting power."
"Beat you, grass."
The straw man laughed.
"I'm really impressed by the fact that there are such talented poker players."
The mushrooms next to it tasted a bit sour.
"The gap is huge. Yesterday it could only fight you to a draw, but today it can kill dozens of you with one punch."
"Don't say what's on my mind, ah, mushroom!"
"Hahahaha, shit."
After reuniting, Shi Li and Mosaichou planned to come up with a plan to help the straw man choose a card from its deck to equip.
The mission that the Strawman performs in the Rookie Copy is a fire-fighting and rescue mission, so its only 5 cards are all related to fire.
4E+1D, ​​respectively :
[Burning garbage][Burning tires][Burning tables][Burning rolling doors][Fire extinguishers]
"Pick this one, damn!"
The straw man held up the one he most wanted to choose, [Burning Tire].
"Ah? Why do you want to choose this one?"
Mosaichu was stunned.
"Hot Wheels, so cool, damn!"
The straw man made a tire-pushing motion with his hands.
"Being handsome is useless! I can't burn you to death!"
Mosaichu admitted that there was a moment when she was almost convinced because he seemed really handsome.
"If you want to commit suicide, don't go through so much trouble. I'll go out and find you a lighter later."
Shi Li directly rejected it.
The only card among these that is suitable for Scarecrow is the D-level [Fire Extinguisher].
[Fire Extinguisher]: Obtain a fire extinguisher to greatly improve your flame retardancy
Moreover, the additional effect provided by this card can help the scarecrow overcome its fatal weakness of being afraid of fire.
"This is so fun, damn!"
Put the fire extinguisher on the scarecrow and start spraying dry ice.
It sprayed happily for several minutes, and the dry ice was still spraying vigorously. It seemed that this should be an unlimited fire extinguisher.
After choosing the equipment cards, each person, a grass and a mushroom began to discuss what to do next.
"What do you think we should do most now?"
Shi Li looked at the straw man and Mushroom for advice.
"Have a party, damn."
The straw man raised his hand first.
"What do you think we should do now?"
Shi Li looked at Mosaichou and found that the word "们" was missing.
"24 hours is not a long time. We can find a place to hide."
Mosaichou suggests staying low key.
"I don't agree."
Shi Li shook his head.
"You already have your own ideas, and you still ask me what to do!"
Mosaichu covered his chest with his hands, feeling upset.
But immediately, Shi Li stated his reasons.
Indeed, a one-day survival challenge can probably be overcome by finding a corner and hiding there.
But who knows whether the second phase of the survival challenge will be 2 days, 3 days, 5 days or 10 days.
Avoiding danger is important, but we cannot ignore the issue of supplies, that is, food and water.
What's more, he did not forget that there was a hidden task in this copy.
If you keep squatting in the same place, the chance of triggering a hidden task is probably very low.
"That makes sense, grass."
After hearing this, the straw man raised his hands to show his agreement.
It was a little hungry and urgently needed a cup of hot water to make milk tea.
"I saw in the movies that in this situation, usually you have to go find a convenience store or something like that."
Mushroom was also convinced.
After reaching a consensus, each person, one grass and one mushroom began to climb over the iron fence.
Because the mushroom was too short, it was thrown over by the straw man.
"It seems that there are fewer zombies than expected."
Shi Li landed and began to observe the street.
Overturned trash cans, broken glass, charred vehicle wreckage, and blue liquid everywhere made the entire street look shockingly messy.
In the distance at both ends of the street, there were several zombie beasts wandering slowly.
It was obvious that the city had completely lost order.
But he judged that the disaster would not happen too long from now, because most of the power facilities were still in operation.
"Convenience store, convenience store, shit!"
These zombie animals seemed to have poor hearing, and the straw man’s loud shouting did not alarm them.
“It seems difficult to find.”
Mosaicuo looked at both ends of the street and found that there were only shops selling clothes and no convenience stores at all .
"Perhaps, we need a means of transportation."
Shi Li walked to an overturned tram.
I twisted the valve, the wheels turned slightly a few times and then stopped; there was no electricity.
"There's a car! There's a car! Damn!"
After a while, the straw man ran a long distance away.
"...You really know how to choose."
When Mosaichu saw the vehicle it was pointing at, it was immediately speechless.
There were so many abandoned cars on the street, but this guy chose a fire truck.
From the outside, the car is in very good condition.
"You have good taste."
Shi Li praised it.
You can tell from the looks of it that the road conditions here must be bad, and it should be relatively easy for the fire truck to cross some roadblocks.
But this is secondary. The most important thing is that there are people in the car.
Specifically, there was a zombie trapped in the cab.
At this moment, it was baring its fangs and claws at the straw man through the car window.
If there is a driver present, then there is a high chance that the car keys are also present.
He just searched several cars, but none of them had keys.
"That's it, grass."
The straw man opened the car door.
【Ahhhh! 】
The beast driver immediately pounced on it.
"Get away from me, grass!"
As a result, the straw man kicked the opponent more than ten meters away with a flying kick.
"There really is a key, that's great, mushroom!"
Mosaichou climbed into the car first and saw that there was indeed a key inserted in it.
"Something's wrong."
At this time, Shi Li discovered that there seemed to be more and more zombies on the streets.
There were clearly only four or five of them just now, but now there are seven or eight of them, all of them coming out of the house.
And their eyes all began to turn red.
The originally slightly slow posture gradually became more vigorous.
It seems that the entire group of zombies is showing signs of becoming restless.
【Ahhhh!】x2
Two more zombie beasts discovered their presence.
He ran towards them with staggering but increasingly rapid steps.
"Hurry up and get in the car! Mushroom!"
Mosaichou quickly greeted each person and gave him a piece of grass.
"Don't pull me, damn!"
Originally, the straw man wanted to rush up to deal with them, but was pulled into the car by Shi Li.
Because he always felt like something was wrong.
Sure enough, in just ten seconds, the number of zombies on the street increased again.
Four or five more zombie beasts appeared, and the total number was already more than a dozen.
【Ahhhh!】x2
Boom boom boom!
The two zombies had already arrived in front of the car and were banging their heads against the door.
"What? Who of you can drive? Hurry up!"
Mosaichu found the scene a bit scary, so he urged.
Its legs are too short to drive a vehicle.
What's more, the vehicles in the Cube Metaverse are all fully automatic and unmanned, so you don't need to know how to drive.
"Bullshit, shit."
The straw man clapped his hands and laughed calmly.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Shi Li got into the driving seat and waved his hand calmly, signaling them not to worry.
"I didn't expect you could drive."
"Of course, I used to go to the park to practice at least once a month."
Shi Li began to grope around in the car, and it seemed that this was how it was done in the movies.
【Ahhhhhhhh!】xN
Boom boom boom!
At this time, there were already seven or eight zombies surrounding the car.
Fortunately, it was a fire truck. If it had been a car, it might have been overturned by them.
"Then drive quickly! What are you thinking about! Mushroom...wait! Go to the park to practice? What kind of car are you practicing?!"
Mushroom, who was originally roaring, suddenly stopped moving.
Rumble, rumble…
Shi Li successfully started the car and fastened his seat belt, and glanced at it: "Bumper car."
"Gouguda! What did you say?!"
"Fuck! What did you say?!"
"Everyone, sorry for the embarrassment!"
Shi Li looked stern and stepped on the accelerator.
"No! I want to get off the car!!!"
The fire truck was getting farther and farther away with a long, mushroom-like whistle.
…
On the quiet street, a girl about 12 or 13 years old was walking cautiously.
She carried an empty cloth bag on her back and held a water pipe tightly in her hands.
She walked about 50 meters along the door of the shop on the street and found a narrow gap between the buildings in front of her, so she quickly squeezed in.
Hiding in this relatively safe hiding place, the girl pulled out a crumpled, crudely hand-drawn map from her pocket.
"We just passed the Central Garden. If we continue forward, we will find Wal-Mart."
"This time, I must bring back supplies to impress everyone."
She pursed her lips, looking pale and thin.
Gurgle gurgle…
Along with the growling of my stomach, the feeling of hunger came again.
The girl took out her water bottle and took a few big gulps, but she still felt extremely hungry.
"Alas... there is only a little bit left."
After hesitating for a moment, she took out a corner of tinfoil from her arms.
He carefully opened the tin foil, revealing the piece of chocolate with marks of being broken.
Putting the chocolate in her mouth, she closed her eyes quietly.
It seems that if you savor it carefully, the chocolate will not melt so quickly in your mouth.
The intake of sugar makes my stomach a little calmer.
"I've been out for almost two days. I must have a good meal when I get to the supermarket later."
When she opened her eyes again, the girl was motivated again.
So he stuck his head out from the gap in the building and looked around to see what was going on.
【roar……】
As a result, I immediately discovered that in the distance, there was a zombie wearing sportswear running towards this side on the road.
After being infected, some of these zombie animals will retain some of their habits and behaviors from their previous lives.
It looks like this zombie was infected while running.
"Can't see me. Can't see me. Can't see me."
The girl was startled and quickly shrank back and squatted down, holding her head.
Beep, beep, beep, beep…
However, at this moment, she heard a loud whistle approaching this side rapidly from a distance.
Faintly, there seemed to be screams and cheers that sounded like swear words.
"Ambulance? Fire truck? Police car?"
The girl was young and couldn't tell what kind of whistle it was.
But no matter which one it is, it seems that it shouldn't appear on the streets today.
Jie——!!!
Before she could figure out what was going on, she heard the sound of sudden brakes.
BANG!!!
Then, the car seemed to hit something.
