7: System task, second target to be pursued.

Wang Feng put away the green crystal core.

The live broadcast was running, and he didn't want to reveal too much.

The instance's only special resource was now in hand; next up were the High-Value Targets.

"Let's go, next stop!"

The other squad members looked bewildered.

Even Zhang Yuqi was mumbling to herself.

What exactly was that shiny green glass bead?

But as the saying went:

If it weren't for Wang Feng, she would have died in the carriage long ago.

The day she knelt before Wang Feng, her life already belonged to him.

She was willing to trust this man.

The Black Raven Squad began to quickly backtrack.

Whenever they encountered Zombies, Wang Feng shot them directly.

Since he had Infinite Bullets, he had absolutely no ammunition anxiety!

Some people on the bullet screen also noticed this detail.

"Why does that guy from Carriage No. 83 have so many bullets?"

"Handgun bullets cost 1 point each. I calculated that he's used at least a hundred or so rounds along the way."

"Holy crap, is the guy above so bored that he's counting the spent bullets?"

"But hasn't Carriage No. 83 lost five times in a row? The prices in their store must have skyrocketed to a terrifying degree!"

"Under normal circumstances, they probably can't even afford food, yet he can buy so many bullets?"

However, these bullet screen comments did not draw much attention from others.

"Instance Competition isn't about killing zombies; ultimately, it's about Points."

"Other squads have already racked up hundreds of Points, but Carriage No. 83 hasn't gained a single one. With less than half the time remaining, they are certain to lose!"

"Let's look at the Caoliu Squad in the distance, folks."

"Holy crap! The Caoliu Squad has already hit two thousand Points! That's fast!"

Sure enough.

On the Scoreboard, the Caoliu Squad was far ahead!

Even the second-place Gutie Squad was left far behind!

The few viewers Wang Feng had in his livestream room all went over to the Caoliu Squad's channel.

Only a single digit number remained.

At this moment, the Caoliu Squad and the Iron Wolf Squad from Carriage No. 175 were fighting over a Supermarket.

The Caoliu Squad was squandering bullets as if they were free.

The Iron Wolf Squad was completely suppressed; they were shot the moment they showed their heads!

Their already sparse Armor was shattered into pieces by the gunfire.

Grenades rained down, destroying the Defensive Fortifications.

Their Leader also perished with a wail.

Supporters of the Iron Wolf Squad cried out in dismay.

Supporters of the Caoliu Squad cheered.

"It's over! The Iron Wolf Squad is going to be eliminated early!"

"My Points!!!"

"Haha, if you dare to steal food from Caoliu, you deserve to die!"

"There's a pretty girl in the Iron Wolf Squad. It's a shame she died like this. Might as well take advantage of her while she's still warm."

On another battlefield.

The Gutie Squad was also engaged in fierce combat with three other squads.

They discovered a forest of flesh-and-blood plants that produced prion protein.

prion protein, worth 20 Points per unit, was the most sought-after resource in the Instance Competition!

Whoever could secure this could rake in a significant amount of Points in one go!

Losing the Instance Competition meant the Train Store would be downgraded!

Even the Gutie Squad, which had Three Net Wins, couldn't withstand such a penalty!

During the intense battle, Zhao Xiao hugged his head and dared not show his face.

He couldn't help it; his Armor had been destroyed by Dai Yingying!

Show his head and die!

Outside, bullets rained down, but Zhao Xiao could only blindly shoot from behind Cover.

His hit rate was pathetic, wasting bullets for nothing.

The other squads fought while cursing.

"Damn it, because of your loose mouth, I lost twenty minutes of instance time for nothing!"

"Kill him! Teach him to keep his mouth shut!"

"That's what you get for showing off! That's what you get for running your mouth! I'm going to make you fly!"

Overwhelming Grenades exploded, leaving the Gutie Squad utterly miserable!

The teammates beside him also started to express dissatisfaction.

"Zhao Xiao! You take responsibility for your own mistakes!"

"If we lose this time, you won't get off easy!"

Zhao Xiao's face was flushed red with anger.

"Damn it!"

"That slut! Why is she only targeting me and not Wang Feng!"

Just then!

Dai Yingying's voice echoed in the minds of all Participants!

"Gutie Squad, insulting the Referee."

"All participating squads, deduct 20 minutes of instance time!"

Everyone was stunned at first.

Then they all reacted simultaneously.

This was a live broadcast; everyone's words and actions were clearly visible!

"Zhao Xiao! You damn..."

Before they could finish speaking.

Grenades rained down from the sky.

"F*ck you, Zhao Xiao!"

"Kill that bastard!!!"

"Forget the Points, Zhao Xiao must die!"

The violent explosion instantly depleted the Gutie Squad's Armor.

One of the squad members was also killed by the blast!

If the Instance Competition didn't prohibit mutual killing, the remaining three would have wanted to shoot Zhao Xiao themselves!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

"Forget the prion protein, retreat!"

The Gutie Squad fled miserably.

Carriage No. 445, watching the live broadcast, was filled with wails of despair.

"Zhao Xiao! Are you even human?!"

"When you come back, I'm going to rip your mouth apart!"

In the corner, a robust man had a gloomy expression.

Fueled by anger, he immediately grabbed the woman serving him.

He lifted his foot and kicked her directly to the ground.

She was Zheng Yuan, who had previously defected from Carriage No. 83.

Her face streaked with tears, she covered her stomach and dared not speak, only crawling back to continue serving him.

The man let out a satisfied grunt.

"Zhao Xiao, you are dead!"

...The fighting was fierce in the Outer Ring of the instance.

Wang Feng's side, however, was as leisurely as a Picnic.

This area was very far from the instance Entrance, and considering the time required for a round trip, no one came here to explore.

Therefore, Wang Feng's progress was very smooth.

Only a few scattered Zombies, which he shot and eliminated.

"Boss, did you hear that?"

Zhang Yuqi leaned over to report, "That bastard Zhao Xiao ran his mouth again."

"All squads had 20 minutes deducted from their instance time."

Twenty minutes... Wang Feng smiled slightly.

That Little Girl Dai Yingying had given him another Benefit.

Other squads relied on constantly making round trips to farm Points, and twenty minutes meant they lost one round trip's worth of time.

One round trip was worth at least several hundred Points.

But Wang Feng was different.

From the start, his goal was the High-Value Targets Deep within the instance.

Furthermore, he only planned for one round trip.

According to Wang Feng's estimate, one trip would take about two hours.

The remaining hour was purely Garbage Time for Wang Feng.

Their equipment was poor, so they couldn't compete head-on with the well-equipped squads or sweep up resources near the entrance.

Therefore, Dai Yingying seemed to have deducted everyone's time.

But in reality, it had no effect on Wang Feng; instead, it squeezed the Survival Space of the other squads.

She was still building up an advantage for Wang Feng!

"Don't worry about that."

"We just need to focus on the task at hand."

Wang Feng cleared the Zombies in the corridor, then opened the door at the end of the hall.

This was a dilapidated Archive Room, filled with various files.

"Get to work, start packing!"

"Take every single Document in here, don't leave a single page behind!"

Zhang Yuqi and the other three were somewhat stunned.

Liu Sheng couldn't help but mutter.

"Boss, are these Documents the High-Value Targets?"

In the Instance Competition, there were no prompts for High-Value Targets.

The only known High-Value Targets were prion protein and Gray Marrow.

Both were collected from Flesh-and-Blood Vegetation.

This was the first time they had heard of Document-type High-Value Targets.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Yuqi acted first, shoving all the Documents from the Bookshelf into her Backpack.

"We do whatever Boss tells us to do!"

With Zhang Yuqi taking the lead, the others also started stuffing their bags.

The few remaining viewers in Wang Feng's livestream room all laughed when they saw this scene.

"I thought he had some way to make a Comeback, but this is it?"

"What use are these Waste Papers? They're too stiff even for bathroom use."

"I'm out, I'm out. It really wasted my anticipation."

On the other side, the bullet screen comments watching the Caoliu livestream also grew agitated.

"Haha, I just popped into the Black Raven's livestream next door, guess what they're doing?"

"They're stuffing Waste Paper into their Backpacks! Hahaha!"

"What the heck, seriously? What is the Leader thinking?"

"Who knows? Maybe they just don't want to live anymore."

All the squads were fighting fiercely in the Outer Ring.

The bullet screens were also lively, mocking Wang Feng or cheering for their Main Teams.

Zhang Yuqi and the other three kept stuffing Documents into their bags.

Meanwhile, Wang Feng heard a crisp sound.

It was the sound of the System!

"Bonding Item detected!"

"Picking up the Bonding Item will unlock the second capturable Attendant!"
