7: Hidden plot, extra zombies?

Twelve Star Titan provides 72 hours of kill time.

But...

No matter if you are a Twelve Star or a 120 Star, it's a one-shot kill.

He is thinking about something else now.

If the 5 waves end, everyone will also be teleported out of the Dusk Corpse Tide world.

That means the remaining points will be taken out completely.

For most students, it also means...

It means, living.

It means that from now on, in 99% of cases, they do not have to be forcibly arranged to cross over.

It means they can give up the college entrance examination and be an ordinary person.

Yes, the novice instance is a life-and-death test that everyone is forced to face.

After that, they can choose not to actively cross over.

As for Lin Nian, he only has one thought now.

Why are there only 5 waves in total?

Can't there be more?

These few points are not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

“I heard that every Different World is an independent world. If so, will there be side quests in this kind of world?”

Among the knowledge learned in the third year of high school, there was a mandatory exam question that Lin Nian remembered very clearly.

When crossing over to other worlds, in addition to the main rewards, there are also side quest rewards.

In fact, side quest rewards might be more generous than main quest rewards.

Obtain a type of [side quest points] that are more valuable than points.

When exchanging for some extremely precious items, not only points are needed, but also corresponding [side quest points].

“The 5th wave, the movement range has expanded to 100km, this distance is very subtle.”

Normal people, before returning to the real world, basically do not have the conditions to check all locations within a 100km range.

Lin Nian can.

Ignoring the Twelve Star Titan, he activated flying + teleportation + wall-passing, searching in the city's ruins.

The Titan's speed is very fast, but compared to Lin Nian's teleportation, it's still off by a bit.

...

Time came to the 15th minute.

A slight turn of events occurred.

At 15 minutes, outside the field, a student actually came out early.

This made all the teachers and parents present feel incredible!

“Could it be that this kid killed the Titan within 15 minutes!?”

“This situation is actually possible. If the Spiritual Pivot undergoes secondary creation, perhaps the second Spiritual Pivot effect can cause a mutation in damage – the difference between two Spiritual Pivot effects and one Spiritual Pivot effect is like heaven and earth!”

...

Under everyone's expectant gaze, the student named Lu Renjia said, “I found a hidden escape passage and ran out early.”

His father was a little disappointed.

But all the parents and teachers were boiling!

In the fourth wave, 38,000 students have achieved preliminary resonance. As long as they survive the Titan's carpet-like attack, they will be considered qualified producers.

It can also be said that they have become a vital force in Great Xia.

Whether or not to fight the fifth wave has no impact on the 38,000 candidates.

Now that Lu Renjia has found a hidden escape passage, everyone knows what this means – all 38,000 worlds are exactly the same. The location of the hidden passage in Lu Renjia's world must be the same as the location of the hidden passages in other worlds!

No one reacted faster than Principal Gao Ci!

“Students, the hidden passage is located 2km northwest of the spawn point. Push those bricks aside, don't hesitate, jump down, and you will be immediately teleported out of the Dusk Corpse Tide world!”

...

All the students received this message.

Before long, the second student returned to the playground.

The third.

The fourth.

...

One after another, over 30,000 students all returned to the school safely.

The number of teleportations also began to slow down.

The students who were teleported back all stood on the concrete ground next to the teaching building.

Until this number reached 37,000, the playground became completely quiet.

School beauty An Bing had already been teleported back. Her face was pale. She tried to challenge a 3-star Titan. If she hadn't planned her escape route in advance, she would have died.

There were quite a few students who tried to challenge the Titan.

“The Titan is too terrifying. I ran out of bullets, and its health didn't even budge...”

“Fortunately, the Principal told us there was a hidden escape passage. Just one second, that shell was just one second away from landing on my head...”

...

Surviving a disaster is moving.

At this moment, the 37,000 students who survived underwent a transformation from within.

Most importantly, they achieved preliminary resonance with the Spiritual Pivot.

Gao Ci and the teachers also couldn't hide their excitement.

A death rate of 27%, compared to the average death rate of 65%, is Delightful.

But no one could laugh.

Even 27%...

Gao Ci looked at the parents who were still crowded by the playground fence, their eyes filled with expectation, looking at the playground.

Expecting.

Looking forward.

...

Finally, all the living students came out.

Only a handful of people could see the Dusk Corpse Tide data.

There were two left.

Gao Ci read out their names.

“Wang Renlu and Lin Nian, they are the only ones left.”

Hearing their names, a middle-aged couple's eyes flashed with intense light, their hands clenched, full of sweat.

They were Wang Renlu's parents.

Inside the arena.

Wang Renlu had already locked onto the location of the hidden escape passage, but he didn't leave immediately.

His idea was the same as Lin Nian's; he wanted to find the hidden side quest.

As repeatedly emphasized before, Wang Renlu's Spiritual Pivot, in this kind of roguelike world, was simply like a god descending from heaven.

However, such worlds are not easy to encounter.

If such an opportunity were wasted, Wang Renlu would probably slap himself when he woke up in the middle of the night and ask himself why he didn't maximize the potential of the instance.

His armored vehicle was very fast and could just kite outside the Titan's attack range.

He searched the ruins as he advanced.

It must be said, Wang Renlu's luck was really good.

He randomly chose a route and actually found something good.

Not a side quest.

But a considerable wave of Zombies.

They were all the most ordinary Zombies.

312 of them, gathered next to a tall building.

At the two-hour mark, Wang Renlu dealt with this batch of Zombies. He vaguely saw lights flickering in that tall building, seemingly indicating there were living people inside.

Hidden quest!

However, Wang Renlu didn't think he was stupid. It took him a lot of time to travel. If he was greedy for the side quest, he might not even have a chance to go back.

Arriving at the hidden escape passage entrance, Wang Renlu was full of smiles. This time, his points harvest was close to 450.

“Fortunately, I'm relatively smart... hehe...”

The moment he jumped into the escape passage, he suddenly thought of a question.

“Right, I seem to be able to go back even if I wait until the kill time ends...”

“In that case, I seem to have time to interact with the side quest...”

“A huge loss!!”

“Damn it...”

...

The moment Wang Renlu returned to the playground, he only saw his parents' tears welling up.

They looked at each other in silence, but Wang Renlu wasn't in the mood to talk about surviving a disaster. He looked around, didn't find Lin Nian's figure, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

“Where's Lin Nian?”

Lin Nian naturally hadn't come out; he had become the last person still in the instance.

“How did an E-grade Spiritual Pivot last this long?”

“Could it be, he got lost??”

“No, he might be looking for a side quest... After all, he's facing a Twelve Star Titan, there's definitely enough time!”

“Can he do it? Hope he doesn't show off and kill himself, hehe.”

...

Lin Nian's direction.

It was completely dark, and it was practically impossible to see anything. The only thing visible was the two red moons in the sky behind him, which were the angry gazes of the Twelve Star Titan.

Lin Nian's luck wasn't good; he searched in the opposite direction from Wang Renlu.

“Nothing.”

“There's nothing.”

“Can't even see a rat.”

...

Wang Renlu's luck was good, but in the face of absolute strength, Lin Nian didn't need luck at all.

Just hard grind.

Grind until the guaranteed drop is full!

Five hours later, Lin Nian painstakingly searched every corner within a 100km radius.

Finally, he stood at the location where Wang Renlu had stood before.

In front of him was a skyscraper, surrounded by some Zombies downstairs.

The moment he saw the Zombies, Lin Nian's eyes couldn't move away.

“Some people call this love.”

Swish—(sound of pulling the bolt)

Bang bang bang—

Orange-yellow shell casings clattered to the ground, and bullets shot through the gray fog, leaving streaks of blood-red trajectories.
