Zhang Mu carefully combed through his memories and took out his phone to dial a number. Soon, a very sweet voice came from the phone.
"Hello, brother? I missed you so much! Are there any new works recently?"
Zhang Mu suffered an unfortunate car accident in his childhood. Both his biological parents died. He spent more than a year in an orphanage. He was adopted by the Chen family when he was ten years old. Because he was not young, his surname did not change. Chen Tingting was his sister, but the two were not related by blood.
"Tingting." When Zhang Mu heard his sister's voice, his tone became gentle." What I'm about to say is crazy. No one will believe it, but you will believe your brother, right?"
" That's right. Tingting definitely believes in Brother!"
"I'm sober, not crazy. This information is very important, so I promised my brother that I would remember it."
Chen Tingting had always admired her older brother, who was more mature and stable than her peers. For her older brother to say such words, something big must have happened. She immediately put down her joking tone.
"Brother, what happened?"
"In two hours, the world will change dramatically. Countless terrifying monsters will fall from the sky. Don't ask me why, I can't explain it. Monsters kill everyone they see, and humans are in danger. You have to find a reason to hide with your parents to the police station, where it is strong enough and safe enough, and prepare something for self-defense, bring more water and food. Remember, I'm not kidding! If you encounter monsters, don't be afraid. Some monsters are quite weak. Find a weak monster and kill it. As long as you kill one, you'll gain player status."
"What?" This was too unbelievable. Chen Tingting, who had always listened to her brother since she was young, was puzzled. She could not help but ask," Brother, are you…"
"I told you, I'm not sick! Time is running out, don't interrupt me!" Zhang Mu knew what his sister wanted to ask." After the disaster broke out, many small light balls will fall from the sky. These were free skills that would disappear after 24 hours. Everyone was limited to absorbing one skill. However, more than 99% of the gift skills were not strong. Don't rush to use them after picking one up. Most of the better skills are protected by monsters!"
Zhang Mu spent ten minutes talking about a bunch of extremely useful information in the early stages, and then said," Do you remember all of it?"
Chen Tingting asked carefully," Ah, I remember. These things are too…"
Zhang Mu took a deep breath." So many years, has Brother ever lied to you?" Promise me you'll take my parents to the police station. As for whether it's true or not, we'll see in two hours. There's only so much I can do. If disaster really happens, I must protect myself well. If I live, there will be a day when we meet."
Zhang Mu then called a few of his best friends. They were friends from the orphanage. Most of them were adopted and lived in different cities. They had not broken contact for more than ten years. They were very close to each other. Because of time, there is not much information available. However, if they could grasp it well, they would definitely have an advantage over other players in the early stages.
He took all the thousands of dollars in the card and bought a large backpack and a large suitcase. The backpack was filled with chocolates and candy. He bought several knives and hammers. In addition, he found a large fire axe, two small barrels of gasoline, and several bundles of rope. He stuffed them into the suitcase and spent double the money to call a rental car to Bijiang.
Bijiang River was located in the suburbs. A 500-meter-long bridge crossed the river. It was the Jiangcheng Bridge. When disaster strikes, a powerful ability orb lands on the bridge. If he could obtain this skill, he would be far ahead of other players.
It's 23:32, 28 minutes left.
Although after two months of special training, life and death training allowed one to grow very quickly, the special training time was not too long after all, and this kind of growth was also limited. Zhang Mu's mental quality was completely passable, but his skills were not necessarily stronger than those of special forces soldiers. If he fought with high-level monsters, he would be in greater danger. If he was surrounded by monsters, it would be even more dangerous.
The blue river flowed, and occasionally insects could be heard. The road was dark and empty. Occasionally, long-distance buses or trucks passed by.
After waiting for a long time, there was a whistling sound in the distance. A large truck with eight tires came.
Zhang Mu immediately spread his arms and stood in the middle of the road.
"Beep!"
The truck honked several times, but Zhang Mu did not move. He stood straight in the middle of the road and had to step on the brakes and stop more than ten meters away.
Zhang Mu pulled his suitcase and walked towards the truck.
A fat head squeezed out of the truck window. It was a big fat man in his thirties. He weighed 250 jin by visual inspection. His neck could not be seen. He had a cropped head and a round fat head. His eyes were squeezed into a slit by fat. His body was bigger than the two Zhang Mu's combined.
The fat man held a cheap cigarette in his mouth and slapped the window edge hard. He shouted sharply," You little brat, you f * cking don't want to die!"
Zhang Mu quickly apologized and said," Brother, I'm sorry. I'm a student at Jianghai University. I have an urgent matter. Can you give me a ride back to school?" He pulled a handful of bills from his pocket."Please."
The fatty's eyes lit up when he saw the red-haired grandfather. He immediately opened the car door and smiled." You're quite sincere. Erm, it's late at night. It's not easy to find a car. Alright…Helping others is the foundation of happiness. Fatty, I'll give you a lift. Anyway, it's on the way."
The driver's seat of the truck was very high, so he handed over the luggage and backpack first. Fatty reached out and pulled Zhang Mu up.
The moment Zhang Mu boarded the car, he suddenly threw out the money. Fatty was shocked and reflexively closed his eyes and leaned back. Zhang Mu took a step forward and punched Fatty's face through the red bills.
Bang!
If fat has the function of buffering power, then the buffering capacity is also limited.
Fatty's eyes started to see stars after being hit, and he cursed. Before he could retaliate, Zhang Mu raised his leg and kicked him back. Then, his elbow struck out rapidly. Fatty's nose bled and he fell to the driver's seat.
Zhang Mu took out a sharp knife from his back and pressed it down on Fatty with one hand. The tip of the knife was on his neck." Be obedient. Don't move!"
The tip of the knife goes forward, piercing the skin a little bit.
"Ah--!" Fatty felt the cold blade pierce his skin and immediately let out a pig-like howl: "Big, big brother, don't, don't!" I really don't have any money. I can't even afford to smoke. I'm a poor loser! I haven't gotten a wife yet, don't kill me!"
"Look at your cowardly face. You're already old, but you still don't have a wife?"
"I…I want to find it too!" Fatty's nose was wet. He reached out and touched it." Ah, my God. Look, it's blood! Bleeding! Someone's going to die. Call an ambulance!"
"A small injury."
Zhang Mu bent down to open his suitcase and took out a large fire axe.
The fat man cried out in tears,"Murder! Help!"
Zhang Mu gestured the axe blade towards Fatty's mouth." Shut up, or else, I'll make sure your mouth never closes."
"Big big…big brother, if there's something to talk about, if there's something to talk about,"
Zhang Mu coldly said: "Don't talk nonsense, get up and turn the car around."
"Good, good!" Fatty was a tough guy on the outside and he quickly turned the car around." Brother, you…aren't you going to school?"
"Is your brain full of fat too?"
The fire axe shook in front of Fatty. Fatty was about to cry." I'll turn around, I'll turn around, I'll listen to you!"
The truck turned around and headed for Jiangcheng Bridge. The car stopped a few hundred meters away from Jiangcheng Bridge. It was 11:57 p.m. and there were only three minutes left.
It was late at night, and there were no cars on the bridge. Under the bridge was the surging river. It was definitely a good place to kill and dump corpses.
Fatty was afraid. He trembled and said," There must be a misunderstanding. I have no grudge against you!"
Zhang Mu pulled out a towel hanging from the car." Take it and wipe the blood. Put your hand on the steering wheel. If you dare to move one centimeter, I will poke a hole in your stomach."
Fatty wiped the blood off his face and obediently placed his hands on the steering wheel.
This young man was only about twenty years old, but his skills were quite powerful. He spoke neither fast nor slow, and he never had any ups and downs. From the beginning to the end, he was extremely calm. He did not look like a highway robber, but more like a cold-blooded killer who killed without blinking! If he fought back, perhaps the other party would really end his life.
Zhang Mu's eyes sparkled as he looked ahead. Under the orange light, there was nothing above the bridge. He counted down silently in his heart.
Fatty, what's your name?"
"My…my name is Pang Ren."
"Fat man? Ha, he really lives up to his name!"
"It's not fat, it's Pang Ren, huge Pang, kind Ren."
Eh, this name sounds familiar?
Zhang Mu's heart skipped a beat.
What the hell.
Wasn't the number one Berserker in his memory Pang Ren?
Zhang Mu had met him a few times, and the first Berserker seemed to be a big fat man!
This timid, retarded fatty was truly the number one Berserker in the future!
Zhang Mu said lightly," My name is Zhang Mu. My nickname is Wood. You can follow me from now on."
The fat man immediately slapped his chest and swore,"Okay, okay, I thought so for a long time." Boss, if you tell me to go east, I won't go west. If you tell me to get lost, I won't climb!"
"About ten seconds."
Fatty was confused." What ten seconds?"
Boom!
As if the heavens were collapsing, a loud noise reverberated in the sky, causing one's eardrums to ache. Immediately, a strong light was released, and the sky and earth were illuminated in white. Even the pitch-black underground chamber was filled with light. There is no light source at all. Light is generated out of thin air, making people lose their ability to think.
After an unknown amount of time, the strong light faded away.
Fatty regained consciousness. He couldn't help but exclaim in shock at the scene before him."Oh my god, the sky has turned red."
The starry sky disappeared and was replaced by a thick dark red sky. The surrounding environment also changed greatly. Countless tall trees appeared on both sides of the road. After that, an even more shocking scene appeared. Millions of light beams fell on the ground. After the light beams disappeared, they left behind unheard of monsters.
More than twenty light beams fell from Jiang City Bridge, all of them ugly monsters. They had brownish-red fur and exposed fangs. They drooled and their eyes were bloodshot. They looked very similar to dogs, but they looked like people standing and walking. They were about 1.6 meters tall. Some of them were naked, some wore leather armor, some held long sticks, and some held firewood knives. They were ferocious and terrifying, making people afraid.
The fat man shouted,"F * ck me, monster!"
Zhang Mu covered his mouth in time." Don't make a sound."
Dense light spots appeared in the sky again. Light balls the size of fists streaked across the sky like meteor showers and fell to the ground like raindrops. They floated half a meter above the ground. Tree branches, eaves, the ground, and even the water were all filled with light balls.
As expected, the game began.
