Nottingham City.
Swish!
Two beams of white light descended.
Chen Jun and Wu Sin had just used a Return Scroll from the wilderness to return to the city.
Chen Jun, who had narrowly escaped death in the Secret Realm, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
"Damn it, that loser still wants to kill !" Chen Jun was fuming with rage.
Wu Sin frowned and said in a deep voice, "We underestimated that kid. He actually used the Secret Realm to set a trap and ambush us!"
Chen Jun clearly couldn't swallow this insult. Clenching his fists, his face bulging with veins, he said angrily, "If I don't kill Zhang Yue, I swear I'm not a man!"
"But his strength is indeed too formidable!" Wu Sin said, "And now he has the support of the Supre Guild. With our power, it's too difficult to kill him!"
"Hmph!" Chen Jun snorted coldly, "If we can't kill him, we'll find so veteran Professionals from the higher worlds to do it!"
Wu Sin pondered, "But Brother Chen, don't forget, the Otherworld has a newbie protection period: when Professionals under level 100 engage in PK, if the level difference exceeds 10, they can't harm each other. Finding Professionals of one or two hundred levels is easy, but they can't hurt Zhang Yue, who's only a dozen levels. It's useless."
"Do I need you to remind ?" Chen Jun obviously knew about the newbie protection period, but he didn't care, "You also know that the newbie protection only works for level differences above 10. In that case, we'll target those within the 10-level range!"
Wu Sin was montarily stunned and said blankly, "Even the new Professionals from the last batch have been around for a year. It's impossible for any veteran Professional's level to still be in the twenties, right?"
Chen Jun seed to have a target in mind already. He sneered and said, "Of course there are!"
"And they are in the Third World!"
Reminded by Chen Jun, Wu Sin seed to recall sothing and suddenly understood, "Brother Chen, you an..."
"The Chen family's face is sothing they won't ignore. I'll go find them right away!" Chen Jun's eyes burned with intense killing intent, "Zhang Yue, just wait!"
With that, Chen Jun imdiately went offline.
***
On the other side, Zhang Yue was still slaughtering zombies in the Violent Zombie Forest.
Unknowingly, the progress of the [Zombie Crisis] had reached 195/500!
By this ti, Zhang Yue had also leveled up to 18.
Checking the ti, it was nearing noon.
He planned to return to the city, go offline for lunch, and then co back to continue killing zombies.
"But this Zombie Tide... is coming too slowly!"
Just as Zhang Yue was thinking this, a sudden System Notification descended from the sky—
[Area Announcent] (Nottingham City): "Ding~ All Professionals in Nottingham City, please be aware: the Zombie Tide will invade Nottingham City in thirty minutes. This wave of the Zombie Tide is level 15. Please prepare to defend Nottingham City!"
Speak of the devil?
Zhang Yue was a bit excited.
So, he spent ten minutes returning to Nottingham City, went offline, and had a bowl of green pepper shredded pork rice at a fast-food restaurant downstairs.
When he returned online.
He saw that the sky above Nottingham City was filled with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder.
The Zombie Tide had arrived!
Inside the city, countless Professionals were in a frantic rush.
Only Zhang Yue remained calm and composed.
Before long, countless zombies attacked from outside the city!
Killing level 15 zombies was too easy for Zhang Yue.
In ten minutes, Zhang Yue had killed 50 zombies.
With the remaining ti, Zhang Yue wandered around the city.
He wanted to see if he could find Chen Jun!
But this ti, that guy had wised up. To avoid Zhang Yue's pursuit, he had directly given up on resisting this wave of the Zombie Tide and hadn't co online!
***
An hour later, the Zombie Tide retreated.
Zhang Yue left the city with a bit of disappointnt.
On his way back to the Violent Zombie Forest.
He suddenly received a Feixin ssage from Liu Yao: "I almost forgot sothing!"
Just as Zhang Yue was wondering what it was, the next second, he received a transfer.
A 1 followed by six zeros.
One million!
Zhang Yue then rembered: in the morning, in the Secret Realm, Liu Yao had promised to compensate Zhang Yue with a million for ruining his plan to kill Chen Jun.
He had thought Liu Yao was just saying it casually, but he actually ant it!
No reason not to take the money, especially when Zhang Yue urgently needed it to treat his brother Zhang Zhao's illness. He accepted the paynt.
At this mont, Liu Yao sent another Feixin ssage: "Brother, I don't have much else, but I have money! Rember, if you need money in the future, just let know!"
How rich must he be!
Zhang Yue closed Feixin.
Just then, a soft voice called from behind, "Zhang Yue!"
As Zhang Yue turned around, a slender figure suddenly leaped into his arms!
Looking at the girl in his arms, Zhang Yue was a bit surprised.
Because it was none other than his original self's ex-girlfriend: Lin Yue'er!
Zhang Yue pushed Lin Yue'er away in disgust, "What do you want?"
Lin Yue'er looked up at Zhang Yue, deliberately showing a pitiful look, with a hint of a sob in her voice, "Zhang Yue, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!"
"Please forgive , okay?" Lin Yue'er cried, "Liu Yao... Liu Yao doesn't want anymore! I admit I despised you for being poor before, but which girl doesn't want to live a good life with money! Liu Yao values you so much now. As long as you join the Supre Guild, your future will be bright! We won't have any more conflicts over money!"
Zhang Yue smiled indifferently and said, "You said it yourself. Since my future is bright, why would I want you, a pair of worn-out shoes? With my current conditions, can't I find soone better?"
Lin Yue'er was stunned.
She only knew that in the past, Zhang Yue would never have said such things to her!
Lin Yue'er hurriedly ran to Zhang Yue, grabbing his arm, crying and begging, "I'm begging you, Zhang Yue, give another chance! Let's start over, okay?"
Around them, more and more people gathered to watch.
Voices of discussion followed:
"This girl is so pitiful. Where can you find such a beautiful and affectionate girl!"
"Yeah, this guy doesn't even know how to cherish her!"
"I hate n who bully girls the most!"
Among the onlookers, a few young n rolled up their sleeves, angrily walking towards Zhang Yue, looking like they were about to stand up for Lin Yue'er and teach Zhang Yue a lesson.
At this mont, Zhang Yue suddenly raised his Frost Staff and cast a Fireball spell, knocking Lin Yue'er to the ground!
In lock-blood mode, Lin Yue'er's health bar above her head instantly dropped to just 1 point.
And Zhang Yue, who attacked a White Na Professional, had his originally hidden ID forcibly displayed in gray font—
lv18 Necromancer · [Zero]!
"Holy crap! Level 18? How is his level so high!"
"[Zero]... He's the one who cleared the First World in just half a day!!"
The surrounding crowd was astonished.
The mont the ID appeared, those young n imdiately rolled down their sleeves and silently retreated...
At this mont, even Lin Yue'er was stunned when she saw the ID above Zhang Yue's head, "Zhang Yue, you... you're [Zero]?!"
At this mont, Lin Yue'er regretted deeply. Why did she leave Zhang Yue back then!
But now, it was too late for regrets.
Zhang Yue turned and left.
Lin Yue'er, on the other hand, was surrounded by a few zombies crawling out of the ruins nearby.
No one went to save her because no one dared to offend [Zero].
Helplessness, fear, panic, and regret gnawed at Lin Yue'er's heart.
Gradually, as a level 13 Priest, Lin Yue'er, unable to resist, was devoured and torn apart by the zombie horde.
Her body turned into specks of white starlight, dispersing and disappearing.
Starlight was a symbol of permanent death!
Having died once in the Secret Realm of Doomsday City and killed once by Su Jinyan, Lin Yue'er no longer had the ability to revive.
***
When Zhang Yue spent ten minutes returning to the Violent Zombie Forest, the gray ID above his head had automatically reverted to white.
After hiding his ID, Zhang Yue continued hunting zombies!
He spent the entire afternoon finally dealing with the remaining three hundred zombies.
As evening approached, the System Notification sounded once again—
[Area Announcent] (Nottingham City): "Ding~ All Professionals in Nottingham City, please be aware: the Zombie Tide will invade Nottingham City in thirty minutes. This wave of the Zombie Tide is level 15. Please prepare to defend Nottingham City!"
In the Second World, one must be prepared to fend off the Zombie Tide twice a day, once at noon and once at night.
For Zhang Yue, it also ant it was ti to end his journey in the Second World!
