The gun shop sells not only firearms, but also a few medium-sized backpacks and a can of camouflage painted on their faces. Bob seemed to like www.biquge.info thing and insisted on taking it.

Thanks to the backpack, Ann doesn't have a full magazine with a spear in his hand (the spear can't be put in the inventory in front of NPCs)

Sweeping away the inventory in the gun cabinet, now there is only one problem left.

"Bob, how is this comrade-in-arms of yours tasted?"

"Why do you ask?"

Bob, who was loading something into his backpack, replied puzzled.

"I don't think a veteran recovering from an injury would want to hang such a painting that reminds me of torture, killing and death."

"So...... Why don't I notice this painting every time I come? ”

Because you have a bad IQ......

"When did he hang this picture?"

“…… I—I don't remember, strange, when the hell ......"

An pointed to the bezel behind the oil painting with a knife, and saw something very familiar.

Demon summoning array.

"What is this? Magic Circle? Firth never told me he had a hobby of witchcraft."

It's not witchcraft...... An gently scraped off a little of the ink that had drawn the circle with one finger. Reddish-black, with a faint smell of blood and herbs...... I've seen this thing before.

The same kind of ink used in the refining array in the secret room of the Palundexiu Kingdom, and even the temporary copy has traces of the Shadow Order?

[Main quest update, find the source of the virus]

Well, now there's no option to escape the city.

"Is that bloodstained? Whatever it is, I think we should stay away from it."

Bob's reaction was normal, and anyone who saw it would feel dangerous and uncomfortable.

"Let's go, hopefully I'm nervous, and that friend of yours is nothing more than a hidden demon worshipper"

Ann didn't want to explain, as long as Bob and Norman were allowed to leave the city safely, he could go to find the source of the virus in the main quest.

There is also a pen writing under the demon summoning array, which should be a message from the gun shop owner Firth "I don't ask for forgiveness, I just ask someone to put an end to this"

The main quest is getting clearer and clearer, and it's the most critical piece of the puzzle.

"If you don't come out again, I'm going to rush in to save you, guys, what's the catch?"

Bob threw one of the backpacks to Norman:

"Save some use, try not to shoot if you can, we only found a pistol silencer, not a rifle"

"Don't worry, I learned to draw a gun in order to pick up a girl, until the revolver went off and pierced my footboard"

“……”

It doesn't sound reassuring at all.

"What's next? Going straight to the port? Damn, this backpack is so heavy."

"We still need a little food and water, and you two haven't eaten anything since last night."

"A meal is nothing, wait until you escape and eat a big meal"

I'd like to do it if I could......

An Yizhi pointed to the hunger level on the panel, which was close to the red line of blood loss.

"Ann is right, we need food, and a little more physical strength at a critical moment may save your life."

"OK~OK~, don't tell me the truth, then look for something to eat, there happens to be a convenience store next to it, I haven't seen any zombies in and out for a long time"

The convenience store is just across the street from the gun shop, and the doors and windows are already shattered and broken, and they may have been looted as well.

Inside, the floor is covered in blood and scraps of flesh left over from zombies.

-- There was a virus outbreak here.

An Yi pointed at these traces, and his mind simulated the scene at that time.

Near noon, there are many office workers who work nearby to buy lunch, and the clerks are very busy.

At his feet was a pile of fragments of ties and suits, which were in front of the cash register.

Running out of stock, one of them walked to the back warehouse to pick up the goods, where he was zombified, and when he heard the noise of people in the store, he rushed out, leaving scratches on the door.

And then...... The virus spreads through biting.

“holyshit！ What the hell is this! ”

The corpse of an anomalous creature that looked like a hairless rat lay under the shelves, its head with a large hole, and the murder weapon was dropped on the floor nearby, a shotgun.

Norman was startled and almost rewarded him with a few bullets.

"Don't touch that gun, try not to touch anything"

Ann stopped Bob from picking up the shotgun with a finger, and slowly approached the 'anomalous mouse', touching the pistol with one hand and the other ready to release the fireball spell on the ring.

There was no corpse, it was dead.

The blood is pale yellow, the muscles of the subcutaneous tissue are horribly whitish, and the closer you get to An Yizhi, the more clearly you can smell a foul smell, a bit like the smell of rotten eggs.

-- The smell of sulfur is a demon.

These guys are really haunted, and they can be encountered anywhere.

muttering in his heart, An Yizhi led the two back to the store.

He roughly guessed what was going on with the inexplicable virus outbreak of this copy, and was seventy percent sure that the demon had tempted and controlled the ordinary people of this world, allowing them to open the abyss portal and summon the "hairless rats" who spread the plague.

I took the time to look at the task list and didn't prompt completion, which means that something is missing.

"Let's get something to eat from outside, don't go in"

Norman nodded hurriedly, he only learned today that the big hairless mouse was so disgusting.

An Yizhi is worried that there are other 'rats' in the warehouse, and now that the power and water supply have been stopped, it is not dark and bright, and there may be viruses in the inventory. The two NPCs that were finally protected turned into zombies because they ate contaminated food, and it was too unjust.

The trio found a few cans of beef and some bottled water in the messy container, enough to hold out until the end of the dungeon. They didn't touch the ready-made fast food, and God knows if there was a virus in it.

And before eating, Ann Yizhi suggested that he eat first, and if he did, Bob and Norman would eat again. Such a self-sacrificing act won the favor of the two NPCs.

Don't think too much of him, if there is a problem with the food, the system will prompt An Yizhi to be infected, but the NPC will not, so you can't let the NPC take risks, and he's still thinking about the side quest rewards.

Gun shops and convenience stores are equivalent to supply points set up by the system, where players can replenish water and weapons. Then it's up to the player to choose whether to find a way out of town or find out the source of the virus.

If there is no clue in the trigger painting, An Yizhi will definitely choose to go out of the city, and it is easier to see the city than to find the source of the virus, especially after discovering the traces of demons.

But now that the option to get out of the city is gone, Yasuchi has no choice. There are still more than two hours left, and he has to send these two NPCs to a safe place, and then find the source of the virus, which is suddenly much more difficult...... Blame him for being cheap, otherwise why would he be so troublesome.

It's still some distance from the coast, and it's barely enough to get out to sea before the end of the time limit just by walking, but then there will be no time to find clues to the source of the virus.

An Yizhi thought about whether to let these two NPCs go first, anyway, they had guns in their hands, and Bob was from the military, so as long as he didn't deliberately die, it should be fine.

"Look, are there bicycles parked in front of the bookstore? It's okay not to drive a car or ride a bike."

The sharp-eyed Norman helped Ann solve the problem and sent the Buddha to the west, in case these two people died on the road, wouldn't it be in vain......

In most people's minds, zombie apocalypse survival should be a cautious stroll through lifeless streets, rummaging through useful supplies like mice, ready to run at any time, and no work has a protagonist riding a bicycle all day long to swagger through the city.

In fact, there is no better short-distance vehicle than a bicycle for the zombie apocalypse, which is quiet, fast, labor-saving, and when you encounter an insurmountable obstacle, you can continue to ride it by lifting it through, far more suitable than cars with extremely demanding terrain and noisy motorcycles.

The speed of traveling on a bicycle was three times faster, which saved a lot of time. It would be better if Norman's mouth could stop.

"I was the best pitcher in high school, and everyone thought I loved baseball, but I just wanted to be a cheerleader. That bitch loves sports, and I've heard that she's been involved with a lot of people, but I'll find out until I get my hands on it. I regret it, but that chick is still pretty ."

On the way Norman kept talking:

"Later, I dumped her, and she also looked for her brother to beat me, who am I Norman? How can I see the same as a boxer with all my muscles, they sent five or six men who couldn't catch me. Although in the end, I was beaten up by them in the alley, but I was a blessing in disguise, and when I came out with an injury, I met a quiet girl. Did you know? That's what a woman is called, and the traditional conservative only loves one man all her life, and she won't mess around. It was the most comfortable time of my life."

"Enough Norman, Ann is not interested in listening to your history of hunting"

"Actually...... I'm still a little interested, why are you single again when you have a good girl? ”

"Look at Bob! I'll just say that there is no man who is not interested in hunting beauty, you should really check if your gender is wrong."

Norman said triumphantly:

"She's a good woman, and I don't deserve her. I was born a playboy, a lover, and a scumbag. Call me whatever you want. I crave adventure after adventure, beautiful encounters again and again, and I don't want to face the responsibilities of a child's family all day, that is a desecration of freedom! So after a while, I left her. To be honest, I regret that there is a woman in this world who is the most suitable for you, and if you miss it, you really miss it, and you can't find a more suitable woman than her. If I can get out, I want to go back to New York to find her, and hopefully she will accept me."

"Good luck, and don't set up a flag casually, it's unlucky"

"Hah! I, Norman, are blessed by the god of luck. Thank you, Ann, if you have emotional problems, you can always consult me, the stupid big Bob who eavesdropped over there never dared to speak, otherwise he would have ...... by now"

- Bang!

A gunshot interrupted Norman's words. The shooter was not very skilled, otherwise the shot would have shot him in the head instead of the tire.

"Fack! What the hell, is the one who shot him retarded! We're not zombies! ”

"Get cover! Norman, come here! ”

Bob was a soldier after all, and he reacted very quickly. After the gunshot, he carried the thinnest An Yizhi and ran into the alley quickly, pulling Norman to hide in the shooting corner.

"We're human! How can zombies ride bikes! Are they blind?! ”

An Yizhi leaned out with a small mirror to observe:

"They hit people, there, parking lot 5 floors"

As soon as Norman wanted to lean over to take a look, the mirror in Ann's hand was shattered!
