Chapter 3 – Level Up!

OCTOBER 17, 2021 / OPHIOUS

In the corner of the restaurant. Lin Schumann is attentively communicating with the team leader Lin Wu.

“Xiao man, I will repeat the information again.”

“Zhao Hong’s physical strengthening is purely ‘enhancement’. The strength and metabolic capacity of all the cells in his whole-body have been greatly strengthened, so he has extremely strong strength and self-healing ability, but the greatly proliferated nerve cells have caused his pain sense to be intensified, and his mind to become a little confused.”

“This guy is not easy to deal with head-on, but he is clumsy. You can try to kite him. As long as it can hit the eyes and any other vital points, it can cause him unrecoverable damage in a short time.”

“But Fang Minmin can handle it.”

“Her ability rating is C. The main ability is the mind control which is a combination of the Flesh system and the Trait system. According to experts’ research on the blood samples of survivors rescued before, her ability can only take effect within a certain range, and once the main body dies, the control will be lifted.”

“So, your first task is not to kill them, but to lead these two people outside the restaurant into the encirclement…Then we will rescue those who are controlled.”

“Do you understand?”

Lin Schumann took a deep breath and said: “Understood!”

Lin Wu whispered: “Very well, the commence the operation!”

Lin Schumann drew the pistol from behind her leg, closed her eyes, stood up from her sitting position, and moved slowly towards the kitchen.

But the strange thing was that Fang Minmin, the waitress who had been patrolling the restaurant, didn’t seem to notice her.

She even looked at her clearly and walked pass by her.

This was Lin Schumann’s Trait system ability – “No sense of existence”.

Although the name sounded funny, it was a rare cognitive rewriting ability, very rare and powerful.

But because of her current lack of mental power, the conditions for activation were relatively harsh.

It was impossible for ordinary people to perceive her, but it was more troublesome if they were also ability users.

Once the other party notices her gaze or hears a sound, she will be noticed by the other party. So, she must be careful.

There is only one chance to strike Zhao Hong!

As long as it can irritate him, the chance of leading him away is 100%!

While Fang Minmin had always been the one to lead Zhao Hong before, she was bound to follow as soon as the latter left.

The butcher in the kitchen was taking off the arm hanging next to him

—that arm had obviously belonged to Fang Minmin before being chopped up and mixed into the meat for the guests.

“Duh, duh, duh, duh…” The sound of chopping meat was getting closer, and together with the heavy and rough breathing of the fleshy body, Lin Shuman had gotten goose bumps all over her body, and was extremely nervous.

The figure was looming under the shaking lights of the kitchen, as if it might turn around at any time.

Lin Schumann raised her gun.

But at this moment, Zhao Hong suddenly turned around as if he had noticed something.

Lin Schumann rolled on the spot and rolled under the table on one side.

She came down on the spot in a cold sweat, but Zhao Hong just murmured and waved away mosquitoes and flies.

“Huh…”

Lin Schumann took a breath, it’s okay, it’s okay…

“Huh? This person?”

When Lin Schumann was about to stand up again, she suddenly noticed that the young man sitting next to her was the last guest who walked into the restaurant before she acted.

“Strange, the meat on his table doesn’t seem to have been moved…has he not eaten it?”

Lin Schumann was startled.

Ordinary people affected by Fang Minmin’s ability should all have an uncontrollable appetite for her body.

But the young man in front of him didn’t move any chopsticks. Lin Schumann’s doubts had just arisen, but the next moment, she saw the young man looking around, and then suddenly rushed towards her.

“Eh?”

Lin Schumann looked dazed, because it was too unexpected, and she couldn’t react at all.

She raised her gun subconsciously.

But in the next instant, the opponent hacked and snatched her gun away!

“…Eh eh eh eh eh?!”

—

Guan Shan followed the hint of the light and reached out and grabbed it.

Sure enough, he got a pistol and automatically entered the equipment bay.

‘I don’t know why there is a pistol in the restaurant, but I don’t care about it. Isn’t it common sense that there are weapons and ammunition everywhere in horror games?’

As soon as he left his seat, the waitress immediately noticed the movement, turned her head back suddenly, and let out an indescribable scream.

“What-!!”

The purple-black creamy flesh on her face split instantly, dozens of eyeballs moved frantically, and then they all stared at Guan Shan!

The customers in the restaurant all raised their heads, revealing their hideous faces covered in blackish-blue veins like spider webs.

The sound of meat chopping in the kitchen ceased instantly, and then the Giant roared like a beast, and the whole wall burst and collapsed.

“Boom!”

The huge shadow squeezed out from the small kitchen, instantly crushing all the customers who were all around him into meat sauce.

That bloated and pleated face, with countless tiny tentacles growing underneath, waving, the scarlet eyes covered with bloodshot and killing intent was even more terrifying.

As soon as the chef who was three meters tall came out, he stared directly at Guan Shan.

“Roar!”

He roared, the sarcoma and tentacles all over his body moved along with him, holding the boning knife, and banging on the floor, rushing forward like a road roller.

“Quickly!”

Guan Shan’s scalp was numb, and his hair was standing up.

He did not dare to stop for a moment, he ran all his strength, while not forgetting to raise his gun to the mobs around him.

As soon as he lifted it up, an aiming screen appeared in his field of vision, and the quasi-center moved along with his gaze.

As long as his gaze was locked on to a target, the gun in his hand will also lock on to the monster he was in his field of vision.

‘Self aiming! Thank goodness! There is still hope in this game!’

Guan Shan was moved to tears at this moment.

“Boom! Bang! Bang!”

Three shots in a row, headshots.

The few swaying customers who just stood up suddenly fell to the ground.

These level 1 customer mobs have 75 HP, and the pistol’s 50 offensive power would have need to attack twice.

But because it was a critical strike, they were killed by a single shot.

【Experience+50】

【Experience+50】

【Experience+50】

【Lv.1→lv.2】

【Current experience value: 50/200】

【Current HP: 100→200】

“Level Up!”

Guan Shan was ecstatic, and instantly felt a strange warmth spread all over his body, and suddenly felt that his fist became lighter and stronger.

But this improvement is still a drop in the bucket.

The roaring behemoth behind was chasing after him, getting closer and closer.

Guan Shan moved as if on a tightrope, continuing to jump to different positions, and smoothly giving those level 2 and 3 mobs a few shots.

All these experience points were enough for him to rise to level 5 in one breath.

【Current experience value: 150/500】

【Current HP: 400→500】

The longer his health bar and stamina bar were, the more Guan Shan felt that his chances of surviving increasing.

But at this time, there were only 5 bullets left in his gun.

Suddenly, Guan Shan saw a white light flickering beside the corpses of the mobs on the ground.

Drops!

His eyes lit up and he was about to check when a sudden chill came behind him.

Guan Shan turned his head subconsciously, and in the corner of his eye, a sharp blade quickly approached!
