93: You were killed by zombies

“Streamer, I just sent you a plane. If you provoke the zombies again, I’ll send you a rocket. I keep my word!”

“Streamer, don’t be a coward! Your live stream is so popular right now, come on, give us some thrilling plot!”

“Yeah, Streamer, killing zombies can drop a lot of good stuff.”

“Don’t make trouble, a newbie can’t beat a zombie. I’ve seen other Streamers just run away when they encounter zombies.”

Even without looking at the comments, Zhao Liuqing knew what these people wanted her to do.

However, as a newbie playing this game for the first time, her operational awareness was far from adequate.

This was her first encounter with a zombie, how could she dare to provoke it actively?

“Thump~”

Just as Zhao Liuqing was about to leave this passage and escape the deep pit.

A sound of bones colliding suddenly came from ahead.

“No, no way.”

Zhao Liuqing swallowed, holding her torch and cautiously looking ahead.

Sure enough, within her line of sight, there was a monster made entirely of bones from head to toe, drawing a bow and aiming at her.

This was also one of the common enemies in the game, attacking with arrows and dealing very high damage.

In this ultra-high definition, this skeletal monster appeared extremely terrifying.

And at this moment, this skeleton monster was tightly gripping the bow in its hand, staring intently at the character controlled by Zhao Liuqing.

Clearly, it had targeted Zhao Liuqing.

With a “whoosh,” an arrow accurately hit Zhao Liuqing’s character, instantly reducing her health by one-fifth.

“Ah! That hurts!”

Zhao Liuqing rushed towards the skeleton monster.

She had read some game guides; these skeleton monsters only attack with arrows, and there’s a brief pause after each shot.

Using this gap, she boldly charged forward.

But the zombie nearby, hearing the sound of the arrow, also quickly lunged towards Zhao Liuqing.

“Why did this guy notice me again?!”

Zhao Liuqing, who had just dodged the skeleton monster, didn’t dare to stop.

But to her despair,

When she had just run out of the passage, the spider from before was ambushing there, biting off more than half of her health.

“Ah!”

Seeing the large spider, Zhao Liuqing panicked, running wildly back and forth in the passage, and ended up turning back into the left passage.

The zombie’s growls and the sound of bones colliding followed immediately.

Thus, Zhao Liuqing was quickly defeated by both the zombie and the skeleton.

【You were killed by a zombie.】

“Sigh, I really don’t know what to do if this keeps up!”

Zhao Liuqing complained helplessly, looking at her red screen.

But the audience was roaring with laughter.

“Hahaha, I really didn’t expect you to run back.”

“After watching the Streamer for so long, I want to ask, is this really a casual game? It feels quite scary.”

“Actually, it’s originally a very relaxed game mode, but the Streamer just had to provoke the zombies.”

“Who told the Streamer to tease that spider first, otherwise she would have run away already.”

“Didn’t I listen to you guys saying to provoke those monsters?”

“Listen to me, you must make a weapon first to fight these monsters head-on. There’s a way to craft equipment in the game.”

“Wow… it really looks interesting. I’ll go try this game when I get home.”

…

In survival mode, every failure means starting over.

Fortunately, Zhao Liuqing didn’t acquire any important materials this time, so there wasn’t much loss.

“This time, I must build a house first!”

After respawning, Zhao Liuqing frantically dug dirt and chopped trees, preparing to build a safe house.

Female players usually build more exquisite houses than males.

As the day gradually darkened, and the sun slowly sank below the horizon.

Zhao Liuqing finally built a two-story small villa on the beach using dirt and oak wood.

Although the villa appeared somewhat crude due to the material limitations, overall, it still had a bit of a rustic charm.

After the house was built, she placed a bed in a corner on the second floor.

When night falls, various monsters appear everywhere in the game world. To avoid them, one simply needs to lie on the bed and sleep to directly enter the next morning.

Admiring the blue sea outside and feeling the sound of the sea breeze through her headphones.

Zhao Liuqing proudly said, “How about it? Everyone, do you think my little building is alright? Facing the sea, with warm spring flowers~”

“Looks good, but I wonder if it can withstand the monsters that might appear at night.”

“Why do the same blocky things look so good when you combine them into a house, but what I build is just a pigsty…?”

“Your hunger bar is almost depleted, hurry up and find something to eat!”

“Yes, hurry and collect food during the day. It won’t be easy to find food at night!”

“Mm-hmm, I actually feel a bit hungry.”

Zhao Liuqing suddenly realized that she had been busy building the house and forgot about the game’s eating mechanic.

Then, she jumped out of the villa and headed towards the grassland.

She learned that she could hunt pigs and cows for ingredients, so she decided to get some steaks to satisfy her hunger.

Suddenly, the grassland was filled with the painful wails of animals.

Soon after, Zhao Liuqing returned with a bountiful harvest, her bag filled with raw beef and raw pork.

It was at this moment that night fell completely!

Large numbers of zombies and skeleton monsters suddenly poured out of the forest, rushing towards Zhao Liuqing’s villa like a flood.

Some of these were new monsters that Zhao Liuqing had not seen on Aoyou Communication.

The various strange cries of these monsters made it feel like a horror movie.

“Wow! Is this game really for relaxation? Give the Streamer a gun, and it could become a first-person shooter.”

“Holy crap! What’s that long black, purple-eyed monster? So cool!”

“Upstairs, that’s an Enderman. Its attack power is very high, but they say nothing happens if you don’t stare into its eyes.”

“Enderman? I remember there was a dragon called the Ender Dragon in the promotional video. Are they related?”

“Streamer, you should just sleep first. These monsters might disappear by morning.”

All the monsters seemed to be heading towards the same target, which was Zhao Liuqing’s villa.

Soon, Zhao Liuqing’s house was surrounded.

“It should be fine, right?”

Zhao Liuqing felt a chill down her spine, looking at the dense crowd of monsters at her feet.

Just then, a surprising scene occurred.

A zombie actually started to destroy Zhao Liuqing’s villa, and indeed broke off a piece of dirt and held it in its hand.

It turned out these guys could destroy buildings!

“Forget it, I’ll just go to sleep.”

Zhao Liuqing didn’t want her house to be turned into ruins by these monsters, so she quickly went back inside and lay down.

After lying on the bed, the time in the upper right corner rapidly passed.

Soon after, brilliant sunlight streamed through the window.

It was morning!
