316: Chapter 316 Subduing the High-Level Zombie
Lin Xiao thought about it, and it seemed that could work.
"Also, regarding this task of yours, are there any rewards after completing it?"
Lin Xiao never acted without seeing the rabbit; it was impossible for him to do anything without a return.
[Of course there are!]
Hearing that Lin Xiao was finally interested in the tasks, the doomsday system hurriedly replied.
Lin Xiao rubbed his chin and asked with interest: "Is it rewarding a Superpower? Or supplies? If it's a Superpower, I'll consider doing the tasks. If it's supplies, forget it; I'm not lacking in supplies."
[The reward is a big prize wheel! It has everything inside!]
The doomsday system displayed the prize wheel.
Lin Xiao took a quick look.
This prize wheel was clearly an old trick.
It looked like every segment was the same size, but when it actually spun, the drop rate for the more valuable items would definitely be lower.
The trick was old, but for someone like Lin Xiao who was full of interest in unknown things, it was just right.
Then he would take a gamble!
"Fine, then I'll try doing your tasks!"
As he spoke, Lin Xiao called out to Zhang Xiaofu and headed out.
He was already prepared for the world to have changed outside.
But seeing the bright sunshine and the occasional passerby,
it didn't seem like anything had changed at all!
At this moment, a courier drove over from afar on a small electric scooter.
[Ding, detected a Primary Zombie within three meters ahead.]
[Please dodge the zombie's attack, Host.]
[After successfully surviving, you will be rewarded with one spin of the big prize wheel.]
...
Lin Xiao looked up.
Zombies? Where were there any zombies?
Could it be talking about this courier?
Lin Xiao was bewildered.
The courier stopped at the entrance of Lin Xiao's Villa and took a few packages off his courier scooter.
"Please sign for these."
"..."
Lin Xiao casually signed his name on the receipt, and secretly took several looks at the courier.
Repeatedly confirming whether the other party showed any signs of mutation.
After he signed for them, the courier continued on his way on his small electric scooter.
[Congratulations Host, task completed!]
Listening to the voice in his mind, Lin Xiao felt speechless but also slightly relieved.
It was actually this simple?
Even if the reward was a bit poor, it didn't matter; after all, it was like getting something for free.
Soon, the big prize wheel appeared.
This time, Lin Xiao looked carefully.
There was actually a Superpower reward on this wheel!
He was extremely excited and immediately spun it.
"Superpower, Superpower, Superpower..."
He chanted silently in his heart.
However, just as the wheel's pointer looked like it was about to stop on the "Superpower" option, it slid forward a little more.
In the end, it stopped on the "Instant Noodles" option!
"Damn it."
Lin Xiao really couldn't hold it in.
But the doomsday system acted as if it hadn't heard him, and sent an excited notification sound.
[Congratulations Host, you have obtained one pack of instant noodles!]
[Such delicious food is a precious life-saving ration for survivors in the doomsday world!]
...
Precious my ass!
Lin Xiao might have been cursing in his heart, but he still wanted to continue completing tasks.
The temptation of the Superpower reward was simply too great!
He took Zhang Xiaofu with him, left the Villa area, and arrived at the nearest supermarket.
Isn't it just collecting three days' worth of supplies?
It could be done in minutes in this supermarket!
Just as he walked to the supermarket entrance, the system's notification came into his mind.
[Detected a large number of zombies inside!]
Lin Xiao stopped and waited for the system to issue a task.
But it didn't.
Lin Xiao walked into the supermarket somewhat disappointed and started to sweep the food section.
It was only three days' worth of supplies.
For people in the doomsday world, a pack of compressed biscuits plus a bottle of mineral water might be their entire food intake for a day.
Lin Xiao casually took a few large packs of instant noodles from the shelf and had Zhang Xiaofu carry a case of mineral water.
Feeling it was about enough, he went to check out.
Just as he walked to the checkout counter to queue, the system's voice came into his mind.
[Detected a large group of Advanced Zombies appearing!]
[Task: Please successfully subdue the Advanced Zombies, Host!]
...
Advanced Zombies?
How advanced could they be?
Lin Xiao looked up in confusion, only to see a group of old men and women flooding in from the entrance!
Their steps were hurried, and their faces were beaming.
Some were carrying bags, others had small shopping carts.
Each and every one of them was charging inside with great vigor!
He heard the customers queuing in front whispering: "It seems it's time to scramble for eggs..."
Scramble for eggs?
No wonder!
Lin Xiao didn't want to get caught in the crossfire, so he hurriedly moved to the side to clear the path.
But these old men and women were numerous, and they all looked very anxious.
They actually squeezed him all the way to the wall.
He dared not resist with force, fearing that someone would just lie down in front of him.
This resulted in him almost being squeezed into meat paste...
Wait a minute!
Could the Advanced Zombies that the doomsday system wanted him to subdue be this group of old men and women?
How was he supposed to subdue them?
He couldn't do that!
Just as Lin Xiao was in a dilemma, a rather frail old woman hadn't squeezed past the others and was pushed by someone unknown.
Seeing that she was about to fall, Lin Xiao reached out to help her almost subconsciously.
However, he regretted it the moment he finished helping her.
His mind suddenly went blank!
Could he be getting scammed?
Although his family was rich, he didn't want to give money to those kinds of old geezers who would frame people!
But it was too late to regret it now; he only hoped he wasn't that unlucky.
