“The fifth round of the competition is about to start with the following participants: LanJing City’s Female Warrior Wa Hu and Female Warrior Mu YouYun; Yun City’s Female Warrior Zi Xing; DuYue City’s Female Warrior Er Mei; WanQing City’s Female Warrior Xu; QiuShui City’s Female Warrior Zhong Cui; Pian City’s Female Warrior Mei; Han City’s Female Warrior Yang QiQi; Xian City’s Female Warrior QingYun; Cang City’s Female Warrior Xiao Yuan, Female Warrior Zizi, and Female Warrior YueDu. These teams will enter the virtual battlefield. As soon as the green light is turned on and a ‘beep’ is heard, the match will start. 9 – 8 – 7 – 6 – 5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1… Beep ~”

After experiencing that familiar sense of weightlessness, when Yang QiQi opened her eyes again, the surrounding area had already changed into a seemingly endless inferno.

A profound and gloomy gray sky spread over their heads, with a few streaks of scarlet rays suddenly flashing once in a while. Not only did it not have the slightest sense of beauty, but it also looked especially ominous.

The forest before them was not at all lush and vibrant; instead, it was rather shaggy and rotten, exuding an eerie sensation. Even the air seemed heavy with a thick, looming aura of death.

As soon as the twelve teams entered this virtual battlefield and the Female Warriors discovered the setting, they cried out in a low voice. Although their real bodies were not transported here, their five senses were functioning no differently than usual. Hating the stench of the mud and rotten leaves sticking to their shoes, some of them kept stomping their feet to get rid of it. However, it only made the layer of dirt get thicker and thicker. In the end, it was their males who snapped a few branches and scraped those off.

Yang QiQi smelled the stench of decay in the air. Although merely a little over two months had passed since she crossed over to this world, her previous life felt like nothing but a dream. But this familiar smell reminded her of the world that she had lived in for more than 20 years. This was the smell of zombies!

Ling Yue noticed Yang QiQi’s blank gaze fixed on the depths of the forest. Assuming that she was intimidated by this truly peculiar environment, he gripped her hand.

“Female Warrior QiQi, did you discover something?” Wa Hu took Mu YouYun and approached her, obviously having noticed her odd expression.

Yang QiQi gave Ling Yue a comforting glance before looking at Wa Hu and the others: “I did find something intriguing. Look there.”

Following the direction pointed by her finger, everyone noticed something moving through the dark forest slowly and shakily.

“Heavens ah! What the hell is that thing?!”

When the creature walked out of the darkness and the light rays fell on it, everyone finally understood what it was. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an armless corpse staggering forward. One half of its hair and face were covered by a thick layer of sticky liquid while only the frightening white bones could be seen on the other. Its shriveled raisin-like eyeballs were hanging from the pitch black eye sockets, and its nose was completely rotten, giving off a terrible stench. Some of its teeth were missing while the others were badly damaged. There was a big hole in its abdomen from which internal organs and intestines were about to rush out… In short, it could only be described as ‘nauseating’.

“ *Blergh* ……”

Seeing the thing that came out of the forest, a few of the females couldn’t help but throw up on the spot. Although the rest were able to restrain themselves, their faces turned pale and their legs became soft. They are not afraid of strong opponents, but they had always lived a good life. When had they ever come into contact with such a disgusting and filthy thing? Remembering that they had to fight hand-to-hand with these things, everyone couldn’t help but shudder. Even the most promising candidate among them, Female Warrior Xiao Yuan, had pallid lips.

Everyone ~~~~(_<)~~~~: Why was the location of the virtual battlefield set up to be so bizarre ah!

On the other hand, Yang QiQi’s expression was no different from usual. The thorned vines in her hands suddenly grew longer as she swung it at the zombie’s head out of habit. The head with its sticky hair was sent flying off in the air with a graceful arc and finally fell into a small stream ten meters away. The headless corpse, much like a toy that had its battery removed, instantly fell to the ground and its limbs scattered away.

Yang QiQi raised her hand and looked at the rectangular black crystal watch that had appeared on her wrist ever since they entered this virtual battlefield. She found that the first row displayed ‘No. 156’ in greenish-blue and beside it, there was a ‘1’ written in red color. This was her score for killing a zombie.

Her shot and its effect boosted everyone’s courage a bit as they realized that this monster just looked repulsing, when in fact, it could be killed off quite easily. It wasn’t totally formidable.

Soon, more of these monsters came out of the dark forest, and without a doubt, they were all as disgusting as the first one.

“Condense!” Cang City’s Female Warrior Xiao Yuan took the lead by shooting a fireball into the group of monsters. Five of the monsters huddling together caught fire at the same time, but since they didn’t have any sense of pain, they still staggered towards the participants. Two of the other approaching ones also caught the fire from the burning ones. However, after walking about twenty steps, they all fell to the ground.

Yang QiQi looked at the watch on her wrist again. This time, her position was replaced by Xiao Yuan’s ‘No. 181’ and the score on the side had changed from ‘1’ to ‘7’; indicating the exact number of zombies she burned to ashes.

Yang QiQi was not the only one to discover this. Everyone else also looked down at the numbers on their watches. When they raised their heads again, the lingering sense of cowardice in their eyes was long ago replaced by naked ambition.

Each of those disgusting monsters in front of them was worth a score ah, the stepping stones to glory!
