41: Doomsday Dungeon - Doomsday City (Part 3)

"Twenty-nine," Tang Ping said, looking at the progress bar, wiping his Tang Blade, and entering the Sunshine Kindergarten.

Ever since he became familiar with the Infected here, killing them hadn't required much effort.

He only needed to insert his blade into an Infected's head, and then flames would erupt along the blade, directly burning out the Infected's brain, allowing him to kill it.

Sunshine Kindergarten.

It was vaguely discernible that this was once a place full of childlike innocence.

Unfortunately, the broken slide, scattered building blocks, black and red bloodstains, and grotesque handprints made the kindergarten appear eerie and terrifying.

Tang Ping stopped, quickly moved behind the slide, and concealed himself.

Ahead, two players had also arrived at this kindergarten.

"Are you serious? This kindergarten really has a hidden quest?" The pockmarked youth's face showed doubt.

"How could the information in the message scroll be false? I opened five message scrolls in the dungeon to get this one. There must be a hidden quest here!" The horse-faced man said with certainty.

"What is this hidden quest?" The pockmarked youth hunched his body, a hint of fear in his eyes. This kindergarten was too eerie, terrifyingly quiet.

The horse-faced man swallowed, clearly also very frightened: "The message scroll only said that there's a little girl in the kindergarten. If we take her with us, we won't have to worry about the Infected."

The pockmarked youth was astonished: "That powerful? You know the Infected here are very strong. A little girl can make us not worry about the Infected?"

The horse-faced man nodded: "That's what the message scroll says."

"Then we must find this little girl!" The pockmarked youth's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"Brother, are you here to play with me?"

Suddenly, a little girl's voice echoed around them, the hollow sound sending shivers down the two men's spines.

Tang Ping, hiding behind the slide, also tensed up, because he knew that little girl was about to appear!

This hidden quest had two stages.

The first stage was primarily about companionship; simply accompanying the little girl would earn rewards.

The second stage involved taking that terrifying little girl to the biological laboratory in the Pearl Tower to find a potion that would restore her human body.

So this hidden quest not only was on his way, but the little girl's strength was also very formidable, capable of providing him with considerable help.

"Who! Who's there! Come out!" The pockmarked youth's face was filled with terror.

"Brother, are you here to play with me?"

At some unknown point, a gigantic Crimson Fleshball was perched on the wall above their heads.

On the Crimson Fleshball was a little girl's face, smiling innocently.

"Ah ah ah ah! Ghost!" The pockmarked youth's eyes widened, lightning flashed between his hands, and he desperately fired it out!

The lightning balls struck the little girl.

However, there was no damage whatsoever!

The pockmarked youth's attack completely enraged the little girl. A large mouth opened on the Crimson Fleshball, and its tongue suddenly shot out, swallowing the pockmarked youth whole.

Sticky saliva splattered all over the horse-faced man next to him, but he desperately suppressed his fear, not daring to move an inch.

The message scroll said not to attack; as long as they didn't attack the little girl, she wouldn't attack them!

He hadn't told his companion this, because he wanted to claim the reward for himself!

Thinking of this, a hint of excitement replaced the fear in the horse-faced man's eyes.

This little girl was so powerful; if she could protect him, he would definitely be able to leave this city successfully!

By then, not only would he complete the main quest, but also a hidden quest, and he would surely receive extremely generous rewards!

"Brother, are you here to play with me?"

On the Crimson Fleshball, the little girl's face gazed innocently at the horse-faced man.

If one didn't look at the little girl's body, the chewing fleshball, this would definitely be a very lovely girl.

The horse-faced man forced a smile, his facial muscles almost rigid.

"Yes... yes, brother will take you out to play, okay?"

The little girl's eyes widened in surprise: "Really? That's great! Finally, someone will take me out to play. I will definitely protect big bro... big brother?"

The horse-faced man's already stiff smile completely froze on his face.

Because his head had fallen off.

Tang Ping calmly wiped his blade, then looked at the little girl with a brilliant smile: "Is it still good if big brother takes you to play?"

The little girl blinked: "Okay."

So she descended from the wall, waving her short limbs.

"Brother, where are we going to play?"

"Let's go play on the Pearl Tower, how about that?"

"Pearl Tower! Really? That's great! Niu Niu's biggest dream is to play on the Pearl Tower!"

The little girl's face was full of joy.

So, behind Tang Ping followed a two-meter-tall Crimson Fleshball, from which the little girl's innocent childish voice occasionally emanated.

"Does big brother like killing these little bugs?"

Niu Niu blinked, the large mouth on the Crimson Fleshball suddenly opened, and its long tongue shot out like lightning, directly coiling around an Infected!

"Brother, Niu Niu will help you tie him up!"

Tang Ping stroked Niu Niu's head: "Niu Niu is so well-behaved."

"Hehe, Niu Niu is a good child."

The human face on the Crimson Fleshball stuck out a small tongue.

Tang Ping drew his Tang Blade, swiftly dispatching the Infected that Niu Niu had coiled, the blazing fire along the blade burning out the Infected's brain.

Nearby, three accompanying players stared at Tang Ping with faces full of fear.

"What is that thing!"

"A little girl's voice is coming from that fleshball; it's so creepy."

"That must be an extremely powerful Infected!"

"But why is that Infected following that player?"

"I think this player's Talent must be Charm!" The blond man said with certainty.

The red-haired girl looked at her companion with a strange expression: "Are you saying this person charmed this monster!"

The black guy next to them angrily punched the wall: "Damn it, why don't I have Charm Talent, that pretty boy!"

The red-haired girl stared at the black guy, a shiver running through her: "It's a good thing you don't have Charm Talent, otherwise Sister-in-law Three would be getting remarried."

The blond man nodded in agreement: "Good point."

The red-haired girl's eyes flickered: "Did you two notice that this person doesn't seem to be heading out of the city?"

The blond man's gaze was thoughtful: "He must know about some hidden quest!"

The black guy stared enviously at the Crimson Fleshball: "So, should we follow him?"

The blond man shook his head: "I don't want to become a meatball yet."

"Let's go, we just need to quickly complete the main quest; forget about any other hidden quests. Besides, we just ran out of there, don't you guys know how dangerous it is?" The red-haired girl said in a hushed voice.

Fear immediately appeared on the two men's faces.

"Let's go, I don't want to stay here for another second!"

Meanwhile, Tang Ping, seeing the treasure chest quest finally completed, prepared to claim the five doomsday treasure chests to first enhance his strength.

"Niu Niu, let's rest here for a bit."

"Okay, big brother Tang Ping."

The little girl lay on the ground, vigilantly watching her surroundings.

Tang Ping sighed inwardly, "This truly is a simple little girl, isn't she?"

Although when she chews people, each bite is satisfyingly crunchy.

"Open the doomsday treasure chest!"
