The moment Wang Tianwei saw the zombies appear, her sanity snapped!
The realistic scenes, sound effects, and even the smells made it impossible for her to tell whether she was back on apocalyptic Earth or on the desert planet of Shuomo in the Interstellar Era Year 300.
Over the past ten years, she had encountered this exact scenario countless times... a zombie siege.
There was even a "hardware store" right next to her... How could it look so much like the one where she had waited for death??
She almost reached out to touch it, but a zombie lunging to bite her from the side forced her to quickly pull her hand back.
Looking around, the number of zombies was gradually increasing. Wang Tianwei gripped her rifle tightly, let out a long breath, and forced herself to calm down.
"Phew..."
"Bang!"
"She moved, she moved. She just didn't react at first, right?"
"Was she scared stiff by the zombies?"
"Zombies are fine, right!? It's Zheng Yunyun's side that's making my Sanity points plummet!"
In Zheng Yunyun's perspective, worms had already sprung onto her body and were crawling up her clothes!
She kept jumping and shaking her clothes, on the verge of crying from panic.
Yama Chao took out a few garbage disposal units from his spatial button and directed the students who were still standing outside.
"Line these up and place them at the doors of their pods."
"...Yes, sir."
You sure prepared thoroughly...
Sure enough, Zheng Yunyun soon couldn't hold on any longer!
The worms multiplied, and she had given up on shooting, desperately trying to swat the worms off her body!
The sensation of bugs squirming and crawling up was absolutely disgusting! It terrified her so much that the hairs on her body stood on end!
The moment a worm touched her exposed neck, Zheng Yunyun couldn't bear it anymore and cried out with a sob,
"Quit!! I want to quit!!!"
The virtual screen froze the second she yelled to quit, and the rustling sound in her ears abruptly stopped.
Zheng Yunyun couldn't wait to push open the virtual pod door. The moment she took her first step out, her legs gave way and she fell to her knees!
The tactile sensation of the worms seemed to linger on her body, making her afraid to even touch herself. Seeing the garbage disposal unit at the door, her throat gagged and she lunged toward it.
"Blergh!!!"
None of the Class S students who saw this laughed at her. Everyone empathized; no one could have handled that...
"Next, Dodd."
As one came out, another had to go in. While Zheng Yunyun was still puking her guts out on one side, Dodd entered the simulation pod with a look of facing certain death.
For a moment, the crowd didn't know who to sympathize with more...
"It's okay, Yunyun, it was all fake!"
Winnie gently comforted her from the side. Zheng Yunyun looked like she was going to throw up her internal organs. After a long while, she waved her hand and said weakly,
"I know... bleh... it's just too disgusting..."
Another person who couldn't hold on rushed out from beside them.
"Next, Winnie."
Winnie's body stiffened. Zheng Yunyun looked up from the garbage disposal, her face pale and her eyes full of pity.
"Good luck..."
Wang Tianwei was still fighting the zombies.
Taihe's simulation pods were undeniably top-notch; everything was incredibly realistic.
Even if she shot a zombie in the body, it only hindered its movement slightly. As long as they weren't shot in the head, the zombies would keep getting back up to attack!
Wang Tianwei's nerves were stretched taut, terrified of being scratched even once!
As she got used to it, her marksmanship became increasingly accurate, landing almost entirely headshots, causing the students watching outside to boil over with excitement.
However, the zombies' movements were getting faster and faster!
From their initial slow shuffling, they now possessed the walking and running speed of normal humans!
This time, it was Level 3 zombies!
Wang Tianwei slid to her knees to dodge a half-human-tall zombie dog pouncing at her. She fired three consecutive shots, but it dodged them all!
The zombie dog's red, pupil-less eyes locked onto her, and Wang Tianwei felt her scalp go numb...
Don't panic! She had A-grade physical fitness now! She could do this!!
"The zombies here can actually evolve!?"
The students observing outside also noticed this bug.
Chao Hao picked his ear.
"These are all training compilations based on real monsters. Humans are evolving, so why wouldn't monsters?
You can treat it like fighting monsters to level up. Pod 1 is at Level 2 now. Oh, Pod 2 has also upgraded to Level 2."
Huang Yan constantly dodged the stones thrown by the giant bird above while trying to find time to aim.
Through the scope, he quickly saw a mutated eagle diving toward him. His shot missed... Damn it!
It wasn't until the target was only a few meters away that he managed to hit its vital spot!
But his shoulder was accidentally struck by a stone thrown by the giant bird above, and it quickly drew blood!
Huang Yan gritted his teeth as he felt the pain radiating from his left shoulder. The designers at Taihe Technology were really as particular about these details as ever...
"Keep shooting! The time isn't up yet."
Chao Hao issued commands through the microphone to the students fighting inside the simulation pods.
He told them that even if they were "injured" inside, they shouldn't stop. They had to keep fighting until the one-hour training period was over.
As the difficulty increased, more and more students couldn't hold on.
The vast majority didn't quit because they couldn't endure the pain, but because the visuals were simply too disgusting!
One student fired too late, and the moment he hit the monster, he was splattered in the face with its green brains, immediately breaking his composure!
He crawled out of the simulation pod covering his mouth, vomiting like a geyser...
"Next!"
Chao Hao didn't offer much commentary; he just kept calling names.
A major class was three hours long, perfectly enough for the fifty students in the class to rotate through for an hour each.
But very few people could last a full hour on their first try, so they rotated. Whoever came out would throw up first while the next person went in...
So far, the people in Pods 1, 2, and 3 hadn't come out yet. Bian Ruiming and Zhu Yu'an were also still holding on.
Jian Jingyu spent every day in the simulation pod, so it was normal for him to last this long, but the other few students made him look at them in a new light.
The simulation pod was clearly set to a constant temperature, yet a layer of cold sweat had formed on Wang Tianwei's forehead.
She had expended a lot of effort to kill that Level 3 zombie dog, and the three-meter-long lizard type zombie in front of her made her feel her legs trembling.
A Level 5 zombie... the very Level 5 zombie that had licked her and caused her death!
Seeing its massive body and its rough, stone-hard skin...
It's no use! I'm going to die!!!
The Level 5 zombie remained motionless, clinging to the side of the building, waiting for the perfect moment to attack.
Wang Tianwei hid behind the cover she had found, continuously clearing out the nearby low-level zombies...
Chao Hao returned from his observation round and saw that the difficulty on Wang Tianwei's side had already reached Lv3.
Her progress was good; she was eliminating the low-level zombies quite quickly, but the higher the level, the harder they were to deal with...
The Level 5 zombie suddenly launched an attack in her direction. Its bright red, barbed tongue instantly shot out over ten meters, viciously scraping against Wang Tianwei's cover! It tore away the top layer of debris!
Nightmarish memories struck her once again, leaving Wang Tianwei dizzy and disoriented!
It was as if she could feel the pain of her injury that day all over again the high fever of mutation, the agonizing twinges in her heart, and her body's involuntary spasms...
