Chapter 50

Compared to Feng Bujue, Wang Tanzhi was not as calm when he played. As a relatively simple person, after he landed, he didn’t think much and headed straight for the main quest.

Although his personality was simple, his execution ability was not bad. He quickly found a city map at a street-side newsstand and located the address of the Allerbmu Company building.

Wang Tanzhi thought to himself that the other team members were probably also heading there, so if he could get to the building quickly, he could meet up with them.

On the way, he also killed quite a few monsters, and the closer he got to the building indicated by the main quest, the more zombies there were.

Perhaps because it was still daylight, although Wang Tanzhi was alone, his fear level was under control. It was hard to say which was more terrifying: these blood wolf zombies or the ordinary zombies from movies. The key was that their movements were too slow, unable to create a sense of imminent danger. In broad daylight, passing by a few non-threatening monsters felt like strolling through a certain comic convention venue.

Maybe things would change after dark...

Around 2:30 PM, when Feng Bujue left the "base" he had created to look for people, Wang Tanzhi had already arrived in front of the Allerbmu Company building.

The building was 52 stories tall, with a large iron sign on the roof that read "Allerbmu," giving it a high-profile, almost arrogant feel, similar to the Avengers' building. The fact that the company could put its logo on the roof indicated that the entire building was their property. From the script summary, it was clear that Allerbmu Company was undoubtedly the core institution for developing the virus. Only in the United States, where the situation was so dire, could such a group, with financial power surpassing the government and technology rivaling the gods, emerge.

Wang Tanzhi held a baseball bat and walked slowly. The dried blood on the bat showed that he was not hesitant when facing these monsters. In terms of combat ability, Doctor Wang might not be inferior to Feng Bujue. To be honest, with their current character levels and physical abilities in the game, the actions they could perform were still within the realm of normal humans, and the gap was not significant.

There were at least eighty blood wolf zombies wandering in front of the building. When these monsters saw a living being, they began to gather. The area in front of Wang Tanzhi was largely shaded by the building, and the movements of the blood wolf zombies were noticeably faster than in the sunlight, approaching the level of early zombie movie monsters. Of course, compared to the zombies in later movies that could run, jump, open doors, and even drive and use firearms, these guys were still quite weak.

At this moment, Wang Tanzhi was a bit afraid. Seeing a large group of long-haired, white-faced, flesh-eating zombies surging toward him, he knew that even if he swung the bat until it broke, he might not be able to kill them all.

Moreover, he noticed something very strange: there were no dead blood wolf zombies in the vicinity. If there were teammates who had entered the building before him, they would have had to pass through these monsters. Even if they moved quickly, they would have had to kill at least seven or eight to break through. But now, there were no non-moving dead bodies on the open ground in front of the building.

"Looks like I'm the first one here..." Wang Tanzhi muttered to himself and began to back away. Since there were likely no teammates inside the building at the moment, he didn’t need to rush in. He decided to wait outside for a while.

Just as he turned to leave, he triggered a flag, and a boss-level monster appeared in front of him.

Wang Tanzhi was now facing away from the building, and in front of him, about a hundred meters away in the middle of the street, stood a massive black shadow about 2.5 meters tall. Wang Tanzhi didn’t know when or how this creature appeared, but he was very clear that this was not a monster that could be defeated with a baseball bat.

The upper body of this monster was completely wolf-like, covered in brown-black fur, with no exposed skin on its face or hands. Its head was that of a wolf, and its fingertips were sharp claws. There were no vampire-like features on its body, but it did have zombie-like characteristics. There was a large wound on its left chest, through which its internal organs could be seen. However, what was visible through this hole was not organs, but a bloody human head behind a few ribs.

This small boss could be called a zombie werewolf. It had no vampire elements, which might be why it was not affected by sunlight and could exceed human size limits.

The zombie werewolf approached with large strides, and the pressure from its appearance and aura was undeniable.

Wang Tanzhi’s fear level was rising rapidly, and cold sweat was pouring down his face. But he wasn’t about to stand there and wait to die. He couldn’t go into the building, and facing this boss directly would be very dangerous. He decided to run to the side.

In a panic, Wang Tanzhi ran to the side, heading down a gradual slope that led to the entrance of an underground parking lot. By the time he noticed, the wall beside him was already too high to jump over, so he had no choice but to run into the parking lot.

The zombie werewolf, seeing him run, naturally pursued. Fortunately, this monster was not a pure werewolf and did not move on all fours, so it was also running on two legs, and its speed was not extremely fast. However, compared to the slow movements of the blood wolf zombies, Wang Tanzhi couldn’t pull away.

Soon, Wang Tanzhi was approaching the entrance to the underground parking lot. The height of the horizontal barrier seemed easy to jump over, but the problem was that there was no lighting inside the parking lot.

His legs continued to move, and he reached into his backpack to retrieve a flashlight. At that moment, he saw a terrible sight: there were some moving black shadows behind the parking lot barrier.

As he got closer, he saw more clearly that the dark parking lot was filled with blood wolf zombies.

There were so many monsters hiding in this place where the sun couldn’t reach! Wang Tanzhi was surprised, but he didn’t have time to process this shock. He had to choose between the dense group of blood wolf zombies and the powerful zombie werewolf. Clearly, rushing into the darkness would result in being torn apart and eaten, so he had to turn back and face the small boss.

With Wang Tanzhi’s current strength, defeating the zombie werewolf was difficult. If he wanted to escape without considering the cost, there were two methods: the first was to use the "Slow Sand," and the second was to use the special ability granted by the title "Panicked Ambusher" — "Quick Retreat Slash."

【Name: Quick Retreat Slash】

【Special Ability Type: Active】

【Cost: 30% of maximum stamina】

【Effect: Can be activated upon hitting the target. The user immediately moves at ultra-high speed to a position at least ten meters behind them. (No cooldown, can only be used with bladed cold weapons)】

【Note: I jump out! I stand back! I jump out again... What? Hit me, you fool!】

The first method would likely allow Wang Tanzhi to escape safely, as one minute would be enough to get away from the monster. However, the "Slow Sand" was clearly a crucial item in this script, especially in a combat-focused scenario. Using it to escape now would be a waste, as it could potentially turn the tide in a battle against a large group of blood wolf zombies or the final boss.

The second method was much riskier. To use this skill to escape, he would have to instantly move behind the zombie werewolf or at least be in a position where he was facing uphill, and he would need to successfully hit the monster’s body.

The scene of Long Ge being thrown back by a reinforced blood zombie was still fresh in his mind. Wang Tanzhi didn’t think the strength of the zombie werewolf in front of him was any less. In terms of level, the average player level in this script was nearly twice as high as in the previous one. Ignoring the number of monsters, the strength of the monsters was evident.

As Wang Tanzhi hesitated, the werewolf was already close, about to pounce. Suddenly, the monster stopped.

It turned around, completely ignoring Wang Tanzhi, and looked alertly in another direction, growling low in its throat.

Thud, thud, thud—

The sound of heavy metal boots on the ground came from the slope, and two elongated human shadows approached. Since they were backlit, Wang Tanzhi couldn’t see their faces clearly, but from the monster’s reaction, these two were likely players or some kind of hostile NPC.

"There are heroes in Hebei, and the general is named Pan Feng.

With a heart full of the universe, and a million soldiers in his belly.

Born in the world of Pangu, with the name of the Vermilion Bird.

His unmatched reputation is far-reaching, and he laughs at heroes!"

One of the figures recited this rhyming verse as he walked forward.

This person didn’t have any particularly outstanding features, looking to be around thirty years old with a beard. He held a large battle axe, which was quite conspicuous.

Wang Tanzhi had never seen anyone use such a tall weapon in the game before. The presence it exuded was truly remarkable, and it was not an exaggeration to call it majestic and imposing.

"Little brother, don’t be afraid!" The one speaking was naturally the player with the nickname "Unmatched General Pan Feng." "My brother Hua and I are here, and you will be safe."

The other player, "Thousand-Cutter Hua Xiong," also held a long weapon, a spear. He looked to be about the same age as Pan Feng, and he also had a beard: "Brother Pan is right, little brother. Just wait, and there’s nothing to fear from these monsters. I will take their lives as easily as slaughtering pigs and dogs..."

At this moment, Wang Tanzhi’s only thought was: "These two uncles are in the late stages of middle school syndrome..."
