After Brushing Face At The Apocalypse's Boss For 363 Days

Chapter 31: Transform

Chapter 31: Transform

Despite this, Zhang Zhiyin and the rest, who had only just arrived here could only endure and continue their work with Team 2 until they could figure out a solution and find the right opportunity.

Soon they were both assigned a joint task — exploring a newly-discovered underground abandoned laboratory on the north side.

Many monster and instance sites of the game just took form as different sorts of abandoned laboratories. As the timeline was now different from that in the game, Zhang Zhiyin couldn’t be sure whether the place was an instance that was also located in the game.

The end of the world had brought many daily problems and new puzzles which need to be solved urgently. Everyone was eager to figure them out. Large bases such as Hope Base had their own research departments.

Before that, Team 2 had been dispatched to clear most of the zombies in the laboratory. Zhang Zhiyin was sent to further investigate hidden dangers, in case there were zombies that hadn’t been eliminated yet so that the researchers would be able to come in later to search for valuable clues and information.

The laboratory was built underground and the entrance was hidden in an ordinary administrative building, which was said to belong to a university.

Zhang Zhiyin was vaguely familiar with this development. There seemed to be a similar animation scenario that would play before players entered an instance; The players would enter the abandoned administrative building and then to the underground laboratory through a narrow entrance in a single line.

This idea was confirmed after he went underground.

The familiar fork, one left one right, divided the road into two, while the indicator lamp in the middle emitted a ghostly green light.

At this time, no one in the group of people standing underground knew that just after they came down, a figure appeared silently at the entrance. He looked silently at the winding stairs where they had just entered and disappeared after looking at it for a long while.

The two teams were completely in disharmony and Zhang Zhiyin wasn’t courteous either. He directly led his people to the left side of the fork — this was based on his experience as a player. The two roads would eventually meet, but the left road would have lesser traps and monsters. In the game, this instance had always been famous for its abundant traps and switches. There were many zombies in it. At the final meeting point, there would be a large room with all kinds of traps and the boss of this instance would be there; a Level 5 poisonous zombie.

But since Team 2 had been here before, he thought that the zombies should have been eradicated.

The seven members team marched along very smoothly. Some apparent and easily triggered traps had already been destroyed by the team that came in advance, and they only eliminated the two or three zombies hidden in the corner.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhiyin was stunned; In front of them was a dead path.

Dadao said, “Captain, is this the end of the path? Can we go back and hand in the assignment?”

Only then did Zhang Zhiyin recalled a neglected detail. The two forks in the road would be connected to form a ring shape. The point symmetric to the entrance was where the boss was located, but the two paths near to the entrance of the boss’s room were hidden and a switch was needed to open them.1 Players in the game couldn’t be more familiar with these routines and they regarded the mentally retarded traps as nothing. Even Zhang Zhiyin had forgotten about them.
