Chapter 125: Wang Sicong’s Victory Banquet (Bonus chapter for Wan Xuanxiu, with gratitude for the generous reward)
Just as Chen Mo’s body was about to make intimate contact with the zombie’s body, both of them suddenly froze. The S-tier zombie paused as well, and the two stared at each other wide-eyed, their gazes filled with a strange mix of affection and despair.
Confirming through their eyes—it was clear: neither wanted this encounter!
Bling~ bing~~
Chen Mo and the zombie locked eyes for a full ten minutes. Just as Chen Mo was beginning to think this zombie had an unexpectedly handsome face, the S-tier zombie finally moved! Moved! Moved! It moved!!
With a sudden *bang*, the body of the S-tier zombie exploded into golden particles.
Those golden particles then enveloped Chen Mo’s entire body, settling on his skin and merging seamlessly with him!
Chen Mo’s expression darkened—did he really just fuse with a zombie?!
He felt his body rapidly expanding, growing taller from a standard 1.75 meters to four meters high. His skin began to rot, and Chen Mo was speechless—was this some kind of plan to turn him into a zombie?
Fortunately, his handsome face remained intact beneath the zombie mask.
[Congratulations! You have successfully triggered the hidden mission in PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds—Mission Two: Kill, Zombie!]
[Kill, Zombie!]
[Mission Description: The player will be randomly teleported to a PUBG instance, becoming the ultimate boss of that instance. You will gain command over all zombies, slaughtering and driving away players. Reduce the number of players in the instance to fewer than ten to complete the mission.]
[Mission Reward: Earn the S-tier title “King of Slaughter,” doubling all attributes. Even in instances where killing is forbidden, you will retain the benefits of the killing mode attribute boost and can still loot others’ equipment.]
[Note: Failure will result in permanent transformation into a zombie monster within PUBG, doomed to accompany the S-tier zombie.]
Reading the mission details made Chen Mo’s scalp tingle with dread!
He was supposed to become the boss of the instance and kill players? That was far too bloody! How could he, Chen Mo, ever do such a thing? Wait, what? The reward was the title of King of Slaughter and permanent attribute doubling?
Kill! Of course he would kill! He would slaughter until the world was turned upside down and no grass grew!
This attribute doubling was godlike, enough to drive all evolvers mad.
More importantly, Chen Mo could only succeed, not fail. Failure meant being trapped forever in the instance as a roaming monster—far too terrifying!
“Master, are you ready? Hidden Mission Two is about to begin!”
Only 97 players remained in this instance. No wonder they were being teleported to a different branch; this instance had just endured a zombie outbreak, leaving very few survivors. Plus, there were still hundreds of thousands of red zombies roaming. Those 97 players could only hope for the best.
Chen Mo checked the instance leaderboard and found that his alternate ID, Little Prince, was actually in first place with 41,111 points.
While the three-headed hellhound devoured zombies, Chen Mo switched between Little Prince’s ID every now and then. This way, even if someone constantly monitored the leaderboard, it wouldn’t look suspicious. With Little Prince’s skill, scoring over 40,000 points was easy. As a magician, he could use terrain, traps, and kite tactics to slowly wear down a red zombie.
Second place was occupied by Shangguan Chaoyue, with 23,756 points.
Chen Mo muttered to himself, “My good roommate, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance. I’m only aiming for 40,000 points. If you can surpass me, then you’re impressive!”
Using his authority as the zombie boss, Chen Mo issued a command: “Do not harm player Shangguan Chaoyue!” Of course, he also made sure the zombies stayed far away from her to prevent her from gaining points.
Roar—
Chen Mo could no longer speak human language; the command automatically converted into a guttural roar.
Roar! All zombies in the instance responded!
After these preparations, Chen Mo turned to the elf Mei Mei and said, “Mei Mei, I’m ready!”
No sooner had he spoken than—bling~bling~~
A vertical beam of white light descended before Chen Mo, distorting space.
The elf Mei Mei smiled sweetly, “Master, please enter the instance teleportation portal!”
Chen Mo took his zombie-like steps and walked into the portal.
Buzz—
The white light flashed, and in the next moment, Chen Mo was teleported to another PUBG instance.
Two red zombies were fighting over a player’s corpse when suddenly a white light appeared.
The two zombies stopped their struggle and simultaneously attacked the light.
But as the light faded, the two red zombies saw a golden zombie standing there. With two resounding thuds, they dropped to their knees before Chen Mo.
Roar~~
The two zombies whimpered softly like spoiled pets.
Slap!
Chen Mo slapped them both hard, sending them flying dozens of meters away.
Damn! You two scared me just now!
Feeling Chen Mo’s anger, the two zombies hurriedly brought a perfectly preserved female corpse to Chen Mo, as if offering it to him.
Slap! Slap!!
Chen Mo slapped them again, this time sending them flying hundreds of meters away!
I’m this kind of guy! No, wait, I’m not even human anymore—I’m a zombie now.
Swallowing hard, Chen Mo resisted the urge to bite the female player’s neck and gently waved his hand.
“Be free,” he said.
The female player’s body immediately dissolved into particles and scattered.
Opening the instance map, Chen Mo was surprised to see that 300 players were still alive here. Killing until only ten remained was indeed ruthless, but it was only an instance—no real deaths. As for those who had switched to killing mode, that was their choice.
The red dots representing players clustered mainly in the F area, indicating that many weren’t hunting zombies but hiding to survive.
Roar—
Chen Mo howled to the sky, “All zombies, heed my command! Gather in the F area! I am your king!!!”
……
On this instance map, players from various schools and major guilds were present.
Coincidentally, Wei, the young master of Pingli High School, was on the same map as Ning Xuan.
Wei, wanting to learn more about Chen Mo’s secrets, had intentionally approached Ning Xuan and invited her to team up. Ning Xuan, considering Wei’s influence and strength at school, believed teaming up could only be beneficial and agreed.
Wei casually probed Ning Xuan about Chen Mo. Ning Xuan’s answers were a mixture of truth and lies, effectively confusing Wei.
For example, when Wei asked about Chen Mo’s background—whether Ning Xuan had heard about when Chen Mo was sent to the orphanage or who his family was—Ning Xuan lied:
“Chen Mo’s background is mysterious. According to the orphanage director, the day Chen Mo arrived was stormy, with heavy rain and thunder. Chen Mo was already seven and knew martial arts. When some bullies in the orphanage picked on him, the seven-year-old Chen Mo beat off a bunch of older boys—quite impressive!”
In short, Ning Xuan’s half-truths were so detailed that Wei couldn’t distinguish fact from fiction. However, he was certain that Ning Xuan was far from the innocent she appeared.
Wei leisurely fanned himself and said, “Ning Xuan, did you hear that? There’s a powerful roar from the F area. I suspect an S-tier zombie has spawned. Want to check it out?”
Ning Xuan confidently replied, “Of course! I’m ranked number one; that S-tier zombie is mine!”
Ning Xuan had 90,000 points, ranking first; Wei had 89,999 points—one point behind. Obviously, Wei had deliberately held back.
Besides these top two elites, other high-ranking players were seasoned veterans. Hearing the roar, they knew something big was happening. Fortune favors the bold; most of the top players headed to the F area.
