Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 266 - 266 265 Worthy of My Brother Ning

?Chapter 266: Chapter 265: Worthy of My Brother Ning Chapter 266: Chapter 265: Worthy of My Brother Ning Luo Ning and her team quickly ran towards the entrance of the building.

Then they heard various screams and the zombie’s growls.

Just listening would make one’s scalp tingle, yet it also made everything seem even more real.

After all, this was near the supermarket, a place where people tended to gather in large numbers.

If it was quiet, that would have been false.

Yue Xiao sighed, “I have to admit, the setting of this background copy designed by the organizers feels quite realistic.”

Luo Ning said, “From this moment on, we must treat it as the real world, as if we are truly surviving in the apocalypse.”

“Don’t forget that we only have side missions for now, and surviving a month in the city isn’t that hard for one hundred and twenty teams.”

“So the main focus is still on the main mission.”

“Since the organizers have set up such a sensory-realistic apocalypse background, our first step is to immerse ourselves in it to experience, only then it might be possible to find clues.”

She paused and added, “We might even accidentally trigger and complete one of the sub-missions in the main storyline, and opportunities only come to those who are prepared.”

She always felt that the main mission wouldn’t be easy.

By setting up an apocalyptic scenario, not only was the survival adaptability of everyone tested, but there might also be other factors that would count as bonus or penalty points.

Bo Xuan actually felt the same way, “Luo Ning makes a lot of sense.”

“Don’t carry on with a playful mentality; we are now fighting for survival in the apocalypse, don’t rely on any luck.”

Hearing Luo Ning and Bo Xuan’s serious words, Yue Xiao and the others also reined in their previous contempt.

They tried their best to immerse themselves in the setting.

Along the way, they encountered zombies, but Yue Xiao and his friends became more and more accustomed to it, no longer feeling burdened when cutting them down.

The three of them dispatched the zombies.

Suddenly, there was a cry for help from a fast-food restaurant not far away.

Looking over, they saw a middle-aged woman wielding a long stick against two zombies, protecting a little boy of a few years behind her.

The woman obviously saw Luo Ning and her team, and she cried out, “Help, please save my child!”

Luo Ning turned to Yue Xiao’s group and said, “Here’s your chance to show what you can do, go and save them.”

Fan Ye asked, “This is just a projection, right? Shouldn’t we go find a car first?”

Luo Ning held her forehead, “Didn’t we just say we need to treat this place as the real world?”

She continued, “And in the real world outside, if you encountered this kind of situation, would you help?”

Fan Ye and the others nodded, “Of course, we would.”

They believed their values were upright, and if they came across such pleas for help, they would definitely assist if within their capabilities.

Luo Ning shrugged, “Well, there you go.”

“Go quickly, or she’ll be caught by the zombies.”

Fan Ye and the others said nothing more and ran over with their knives, then took down the two zombies and saved the mother and son.

The woman turned around and hugged her son tightly, crying and thanking them profusely, “Thank you, thank you so much.”

Fan Ye and his friends found it hard to believe that the woman’s tears and the little boy cowering in her embrace could be fake, it all felt too real.

The three gave an awkward smile, “No, no need to be polite.”

After rescuing the people, Luo Ning and her team continued to push towards the outside and saved a few more people before finally making it out through the main entrance.

Then they headed to the parking lot outside.

Some cars had their doors closed and no keys.

There were also some cars with doors open and no one inside, probably turned into zombies.

Bo Xuan spoke up, “Let’s split up and look for an off-road vehicle.”

“Alright!”

They saw that some teams had already found vehicles and driven off.

To be able to participate in a competition like this, although teams varied in strength, even the weakest couldn’t be complete novices.

Everyone was clever; their first choice was to find an off-road vehicle, preferably one that was durable and collision-resistant.

The teams that set out to find vehicles first clearly ignored the previous cries for help.

In fact, only a few teams chose to rescue others.

Some didn’t fully grasp that this was a life-and-death escape competition, so they were caught by zombies, infected, and determined by the intelligent system to either turn into zombies or die.

And they were thus eliminated.

Those who were announced as eliminated would then disappear from their teams.

However, there was no public broadcast announcing who got eliminated; only their own team members would know.

Luo Ning split up from the others to look for a vehicle and encountered zombies along the way.

Without minions to order around, Luo Ning had to wield her watermelon knife to hack away.

She had experienced the real apocalypse; although this place was made to look quite real, the true apocalypse was much more brutal.

However, now in front of the live broadcast cameras, she couldn’t appear too calm or cruel.

So after killing the first zombie, Luo Ning’s complexion turned a bit pale, with a look of disgust, she gripped her watermelon knife tighter and took a few deep breaths.

This was, in fact, her real reaction the first time she killed a zombie in the Little World of the apocalypse.

At first, she also had a mental barrier and couldn’t bring herself to do it.

But when her life was at stake, she took the initiative to fight back and, after killing a zombie, felt a sense of being drained.

As she killed more and more, she grew accustomed to it; it was either kill or be killed – so why hesitate? Just chop away.

It was evident that Luo Ning wasn’t quite composed and calm when she killed the first zombie.

It felt like a genuine reaction to everyone.

If she had started chopping zombies like slicing vegetables, it would have been terrifying—wouldn’t that be too cruel?

Nonetheless, such a performance startled those watching the live broadcast.

“Who just said Luo Ning wouldn’t dare to kill zombies and could only order men around?”

“Although Luo Ning doesn’t seem to like killing zombies, she took care of it, her psychological strength is quite strong.”

“Most of the female contestants this time are pretty good, not pretentious or overtly dramatic. They chop when they need to; I like it!”

“I heard the others often participate in training, but Luo Ning is a celebrity, so it’s impressive that she can do this.”

“Look, Luo Ning is adapting quickly; she’s chopping down zombies faster now.”

“She’s chopped five, getting more proficient with each one.”

“Awesome, my Brother Ning is incredible.”

“Brother Ning has some skills, no wonder she was chosen to participate.”

Luo Ning rescued a man on the road who was nearly caught by a zombie.

The man, pale with fright, kept thanking Luo Ning.

After expressing his gratitude, the man looked at Luo Ning and asked, “Do you have a partner? How about we team up and find the military?”

Luo Ning was playing this game as if it were the real world, regardless of whether the people she encountered were real or virtual projections; she treated everything as if it were real.

She asked, “Find the military?”

The man nodded, “I heard from the broadcast that the military will be sent for rescue, so we can try to find them nearby and see if we can meet up.”

Luo Ning quickly thought and asked, “Do you know where Central Square is?”

That was the first place mentioned in the information that had a clue.

The man replied, “Yes, I do, but it’s not close. It would take more than an hour to walk there.”
