Screams?

What's scarier than an earthquake?

As a time traveler, Wang Ran subconsciously thought of a word,

resident Evil!

His face suddenly turned bitter,

If it was really a biological crisis, it would be meaningless even if he could survive. There were only a few living people in this huge world, and he had to guard against zombies and look for supplies everywhere.

But what was the dark figure that killed him in the basement?

It was impossible for zombies to attack him through a narrow gap, and it was even less possible for him to die without a chance to react.

The answer has to be found in this simulation.

[The screams gradually disappeared, you and Lin Ying both realized that there might be no survivors in the school, and a cloud of despair enveloped you]

A doubt in Wang Ran's mind was solved.

During the first simulation, the reason why progress with Lin Ying was so fast was because Lin Ying was not unconscious on the first day.

Lin Ying heard the screams outside,

in other words,

She felt hopeless from the first day;

That's why it was easily captured by him.

[That night, you and Lin Ying hugged each other and fell asleep]

[The next day, it was very quiet outside the basement. You tried to move the stones covering the exit, trying to find a way out]

[You are as strong as an ox and successfully moved some rocks]

【Lin Ying is inspired by you】

[You have moved a lot of rocks. If everything goes well, maybe we can clear a road to the outside world tomorrow.]

[That night, you and Lin Ying hugged each other and fell asleep]

The new properties panel is now in effect.

Wang Ran used to be a weak student with only five points of strength, but now he is a strong man with several times the limit of human strength.

He no longer sat there waiting for death, but took the initiative.

Wang Ran was looking forward to it.

If he could dig out the basement, he could escape with Lin Ying.

A man and a woman, just to continue hope for mankind.

[On the third day, you moved a lot of rocks again]

[The sun shines in]

[You and Lin Ying are very happy]

[In the afternoon, the transportation work was hindered, and there were several unusually heavy stones blocking the way out]

[You try to shake the boulder]

[You failed, but you think you can destroy part of the boulder to create an escape space for yourself]

[Lin Ying cheers you on]

[You are greatly encouraged]

【You have been knocking rocks all day】

[That night, you were exhausted and fell asleep with Lin Ying hugging each other]

The third day of simulation went without incident.

[On the fourth day, you spent the whole day knocking stones]

[While knocking the stone, you heard a slight movement, and something seemed to be attracted by the sound you made, but you didn't notice it]

A slight movement?

attract?

Seeing these two words, Wang Ran's heart suddenly lifted.

[After a day of hard work]

[At dusk, the gap widens a lot. You carefully stick your head out to check the situation]

[You glimpse a dark shadow]

[You want to retract your head, but you are horrified to find that you are stuck]

[A black shadow flashed, you are dead]

The corner of Wang Ran's mouth twitched.

Dead again!

He thought about his possible death,

For example, he fought against monsters but was defeated and died; or he protected Lin Ying and sacrificed for love; or he was careless and was plotted against.

But I never expected that,

He actually died because his head was stuck!

[You have triggered the talent "I will never die with my eyes in peace"]

[You get an extra day]

Wang Ran sighed,

Just die,

As long as the cause of death can be clarified.

At this time, the stagnant text started to move again.

[The head that rolled to the ground opened its eyes wide]

Wang Ran took a breath of air.

Good guy!

His head was chopped off by someone else!

This is too cruel!

[You stare directly at the monster that killed you]

[This is a spherical monster with a diameter of about one meter. Its body is covered with freely retractable spikes. It just used one of the spikes to cut off your head]

Wang Ran frowned.

It turned out that what killed him was a spherical monster covered with spikes.

Where did this monster come from?

Is it responsible for the screams heard during earthquakes?

[Lin Ying dragged your headless body in]

[She screams in fear]

[The monster shot a spike through the gap you opened]

[The spikes pierced Lin Ying’s body]

【Lin Ying is dead】

[The monster rolled away]

[You notice that the monster moves by the spikes inserted into the wall and the ground. You speculate that it can use these spikes to move freely on vertical walls]

Wang Ran looked solemn.

He realized that the way he died last time was probably the same as Lin Ying.

The so-called dark shadow flashed,

It was actually the monster that fired a spike at him.

[You find the school in ruins]

[The remains of the teaching building are leaning on the ground]

[There are many huge white cocoons stuck to the wreckage, some of them are beating like hearts, and some of them have big holes in the middle]

[You speculate that the monster came out of the cocoon]

【Night falls】

[You have seen monsters emerge from cocoons with your own eyes, and you have also seen monsters throwing human corpses into cocoons that have already hatched monsters]

[The cocoon that was thrown into the corpse closed again]

[You speculate that cocoons are the production workshop of monsters, and human corpses are the raw materials for producing monsters]

[But you don’t understand where these cocoons come from]

Wang Ran's face looked very ugly.

The school has turned into an incubation base for monsters, so isn't he bound to die here?

[You haven’t blinked for several hours and your eyes are very dry. You want to close your eyes and rest.]

[Whether to terminate "Death in Peace" early]

Wang Ran shook his head without thinking.

He finally had a chance to understand the situation, so how could he terminate it early?

Hold on! My future me!

[Suddenly, you find a cluster of stars rising in the northern sky]

What stars are they? Are they missiles?

[They keep changing positions in the air]

[Finally formed two lines of text]

[The rescue operation is under emergency planning]

【Please wait quietly】

Seeing these two lines of words, Wang Ran became energetic.

It turns out to be a swarm of drones!

The drones were obviously operated by troops outside the city.

Wang Ran was inexplicably moved.

Even in this weird and harsh situation, the army still has not given up on the people trapped in the city and is already planning a rescue operation.

Maybe he could stock up on more supplies in the basement,

Wait until the army arrives at the school,

He moved the stone away and came out with Lin Ying.

Although he was not sure whether the army would come here, it was at least more reliable than leading Lin Ying out of the school by himself.

Even if the army doesn't come,

As long as the army creates noise elsewhere to attract monsters,

His chances of escape can also be greatly improved.

[On the fifth day, your eyes are bloodshot]

[A monster came outside the basement, trying to remove the stones blocking the basement and get your and Lin Ying’s bodies out]

[It took a long time and finally gave up]

[You realize that although these monsters can shoot spikes, they are not as powerful as you]

[If you can avoid being shot by spikes]

[You might be able to kill them]

[When time runs out, "I will never die with my eyes in peace" automatically terminates]

[End of simulation]
