The ordinary zombies were just an appetizer.
The real nightmare was probably the mutated zombies lurking deep within the ruins—the ones that had devoured vast amounts of flesh and even assimilated the Abilities of Players.
"ROAR—!"
In the few short seconds the two had been talking, the zombie that had been sent flying actually staggered back to its feet.
The crater in its chest was horrifying to behold, but it seemed completely unaware, letting out another roar as it lurched toward them.
At the same time, more shambling figures in the distance, seemingly drawn by the commotion, began to slowly converge on their position.
A cold glint flashed in Seraphina Sullivan’s eyes, and she hesitated no longer.
She raised her hand, and the Magic Scissors swiftly materialized in her grip.
"We can’t let it make any more noise. Take it out. Then we leave immediately and find a relatively safe place to check the mission."
She made a swift judgment.
Sean Chandler understood. This time, he didn’t use his fists.
His figure flashed, appearing at the zombie’s side like a phantom.
A sharp dagger, which had appeared in his hand at some point, stabbed precisely and swiftly into the zombie’s temple. With a twist of his wrist—
"CRACK."
Following the faint sound of bone fracturing, the savage light in the zombie’s eyes extinguished completely. Its body slumped to the ground, and this time, it didn’t get back up.
Their first battle was a success, but neither of them felt the slightest bit of relief.
They knew this was just the opening act of this instance.
The true battle for survival, the "Civilization Trial" against time, was only just beginning.
Seraphina Sullivan and Sean Chandler quickly cleared a three-story building that looked relatively sturdy and had a good field of view.
The two zombies wandering inside were dealt with silently.
They barricaded the ground-floor entrance and some of the windows, then occupied a room on the top floor with a wide view to serve as a temporary base.
Once they were temporarily safe, Seraphina immediately focused her mind.
She released Flora Sullivan and Moe from her Space.
"Boss!"
Flora Sullivan appeared beside Seraphina, holding Moe.
"Flora, Moe, be careful of the zombies in this world. Don’t get scratched."
Flora Sullivan and Moe nodded, understanding their duty.
Seraphina then pulled up the mission list for the [Zombie Kingdom] instance.
When the clear text materialized in her mind,
even with her temperament, she couldn’t help but draw in a sharp breath. Her feelings became incredibly complicated.
