Chapter 1934 Zombie World Raid Instance -Final
Jin checked on the progress of his first raid team in the Zombie World Raid Instance. "Lol, there is literally no progress from their current fight." Jin thought to himself but he also checked the amount of points they had accumulated.
And as expected from the number of points, Jin knew that they were not slacking as well. This meant that the number of zombies that were lying dormant was of a significant amount. This was also seen in the rest of the hideouts that had been employed by other raid teams.
A lot of them who were able to get in the first round might seem like it was first come first serve basis but the System had been rather picky who had the chance to go in and play the raid instance. There were conditions that the System had made to ensure that it was moving the way it wanted the raid instance to go.
In a way, it was akin to setting an example for the rest of the groups that were to come in the future. Those conditions were simple. As long as the group leader had some experience in the previous Great Wall of China Dungeon Instance, he or she would be eligible for the first round.
This was mainly due to the fact that the System wants experienced team leaders who understand the danger of how zombie hordes are leading the groups so they know what to do in a pinch. And so far, that selection of team leaders has paid off.
The teams were more cautious and rather systematic in their fights against the zombies. Sure, they might be slow which was expected but those team leaders had already experienced showing flowery big actions only to pay the consequences after that. But the same could not be said for their team members and that was where chaos might ensue.
But if there were no chaos and everything was systematic in nature, it would not be fun spectating it. And sure enough, while most teams seemed to be cautious, there were a few teams who had deviant team members who could see that they did not have the patience to practice caution.
This lack of caution exacerbated the members' behaviour due to the fact that there was a death penalty. They can die and still play within the same round and some decided to use that to their advantage. And that they have a time limit, means that some want to earn big points fast otherwise they do not have the slots to go in again even though Jin had emphasized that this raid instance was here to stay for a long time.
Even the rewards that Jin had prepared were staggered, meaning the reward list was not an exhaustive list. Everything had been made in such a way that it rewards players in the long term.
And because of that lack of caution, there was a team who had decided to use one of the team members as a sort of lure to get those zombies to crowd around and kill the zombies simultaneously. Thankfully, the System had deemed that the team member who had been sacrificed was a willing volunteer. If it was not, the System would immediately send the entire team out of the raid instance and do a pending investigation with NPC Panda Security Captain Hei. If found any bullying, Hei would instantly ban the relevant members.
Overall, the groups that had entered the raid instance followed a certain pattern that the System had expected from them. Aside from a few deviants in their groups and only one raid team going absolutely nuts, the Pandarens viewing the entire stream already knew what to expect when they entered the Zombie Raid Instance.
Other than that, Jin subsequently enjoyed Xiong Da's raid team progress as they finally reached and fought against the special class zombie that they had been hearing ever since they were on the top floors.
It was situated on the ground floor of the apartment building where there was empty space around the area with the exception of foundation pillars. While this gave grounds for the Pandawans to go big or go home now that they found a second special class zombie, they needed to be wary of how to proceed.
This was mainly due to the fact that if their attacks were to destroy any foundational pillars, the hideout that they came from would effectively be useless for the subsequent groups. This was especially so when Jin had said that this particular raid instance was a persistent world setting.
Hence, whatever they do will have a direct impact on the things that they are to experience in the future. That is why they have to be careful whether the attacks they do, do destroy the foundational pillars of the apartment building they were under. (That and also if they did, the entire building would be crumbling down on them.)
Xiong Da did send a quick private message to Jin with regards to whether they died and the hideout had been destroyed. Naturally, Jin responded with a simple response. "You just gonna be revived at a place where you had never seen before. Probably another hideout."
With that in mind, Xiong Da had asked the team in an attempt to lure the special class zombie out of its place and into the open space. But no matter how the group tried to lure it with a magazine of bullets into its flesh, the special class zombie was not moving away.
To make matters worse, the special class zombie was regenerating considerably faster than the regular zombie and it had moveable tendrils that acted as a flesh barrier whenever the Grey Bear Squad had aimed its head.
For a zombie to have such fast reacting tendrils that could match the speed of a bullet had made them more dangerous than it seemed to be. But Diaz begged to differ. She had decided to try that theory by overloading it with not just a magazine of bullets but rather, a full box of bullets instead.
To her surprise, the zombie grew even more tendrils to block the bullets and even used stronger flesh tendrils as a buffer while the head and entire body remained stationary. Hence, it reinforced the fact further that if they got to destroy its head, the special class zombie would be killed.
But for this particular special class zombie, it was not aggressive in nature and had always been defending itself all this while. Though it was not aggressive, it had been howling its lungs out this entire time. And at each interval, the howling got louder and louder.
Xiong Da assumed that this particular special class zombie was made to create or maybe assemble a horde together. So, if they do not destroy it fast enough, this entire place would be overwhelmed with undead bodies crawling for a bite of their flesh.
And since it was not able to move, Yinn was contemplating using her powers to teleport it somewhere else just as she had done for her team when they were in the Synthesis World. But the team and her orders from Jin were explicit. To not reveal their true powers to the group and act as if their chi powers were limited. Only shows how they would act when they were just Mechanoids.
Otherwise, either Yinn or Tellie would have cleared this special class zombie in a jiffy. One by teleporting or the other by utter destruction using her signature laser beam attack while avoiding the foundation pillars of the apartment building.
But since Jin had already instructed not to reveal this kind of power to the group even in emergencies, the Grey Bears had to acknowledge the orders of their commander. Yet that did not mean it was the end of the group as Xiong Da had decided to pin it all in one move.
"I am not sure whether it works or not but if it doesn't, Bu Dong please lead the team as I come down from the Hideout after my death penalty."
"Oh please, the way you say it seemed like you were going to die and take a long time to come back. When all you could do was just jump out of the window and reach the ground floor." Bu Dong rolled his eyes.
"Oh come on, let me be a little dramatic once in a while." Xiong Da giggled as he stepped backward, gathered some chi, and started charging toward the special class zombie. "And also, I like to see if my efforts have paid off from the training in Dark Day Dungeons!" Xiong Da exclaimed as he used a technique that he had learned when he was a mere Grade 1. It was a charging attack which he does not usually use nowadays since his chi was much stronger than before. (also, a little demanding on his knees.)
"Hungry Hippo Charge!" Xiong Da shouted! As much as there was a name to the technique, he became a little too lazy to shout it out as he had gotten used to the technique when playing the Dark Days Dungeons.
Multiple tendrils moved to the front to block it only to find that it was useless against Xiong Da who had used all his strength to bash through the tendrils and subsequently moved in to grab the body of the zombie.
That was when Xiong Da realised that it was not as tough as it looked, the tendrils might be meat shields but they could not even handle the charging form that Xiong Da had performed. (Or maybe he felt that all the training in Dark Days Dungeon really did pay off and he got way better in the technique than he had thought.
Regardless when he thought of uprooting the immovable special class zombie and bringing it out into the open space, that idea changed when he had easily grabbed its torso. Since he had his hands on it, Xiong Da decided to transfer all the force that he had and crush the special class zombies with his bare hands.
