Chapter 127: The Great Map Sweep

The Slaughter player looked on in despair as the S-rank zombie walked toward him step by step. What a majestic and imposing physique it possessed! Clad in a full S-rank Golden Scale Combat Armor and Golden Scale Set, it shimmered with a dazzling, golden brilliance.

"No!" the Slaughter player roared at the sky in unwillingness, but he could not escape the casual swipe of the S-rank zombie's claw.

The grand, sweeping purge left only 25 players remaining in the entire dungeon.

The experience of being able to leave players surrounded, desperate, and helpless with just a single thought, a single command, or a single glance left Chen Mo intoxicated. For a fleeting moment, he even wondered what it would be like if he possessed such an army in the real world, commanding the landscape and dictating the fate of nations.

Of course, Chen Mo quickly calmed down.

A possibility suddenly struck him: could it be that Wisdom Particle was intentionally nurturing the players' desire for power and their thirst for the authority over life and death, thereby influencing and guiding their actions in the real world?

This touched upon the question the whole world was pondering: what exactly did Wisdom Particle want?

Chen Mo certainly could not provide an answer. The worst-case scenario was that Wisdom Particle was simply an extraterrestrial civilization toying with Earth—they deemed Earth too weak, so they intended to help it evolve before eventually conquering it.

This was the conclusion predicted by many experts on the Evolution Forum, but Chen Mo disagreed. He felt that if the alien civilization behind Wisdom Particle was already so advanced, why would they bother playing such boring games? Helping Earth evolve only to conquer it later seemed too childish.

However, regardless of the situation, the only thing Chen Mo could do was to make himself stronger—strong enough to master his own destiny, strong enough that even the Wisdom Particle civilization would fear him!

"Kill!!" Chen Mo shouted, venting all the emotions within his heart.

...

Elsewhere, among the 25 survivors in the dungeon, six were novices. They were weak but lucky enough to have dodged the zombie hordes, and now they huddled in various hidden spots, praying for the dungeon to end soon.

The other 19, however, were the strongest players in this dungeon.

Rather than avoiding the zombie hordes, these 19 were actually thrilled. Previously, they had to search everywhere to find zombies, but now, they didn't need to waste time hunting—everything was gathered in one place.

The powerful mages, in particular, were grinning from ear to ear.

Tai Hong, the second-in-command of the Xingtian Guild, was a grand mage at the peak of the General-rank. Leading five sturdy melee tanks from his guild, he mowed down the zombies like a meat grinder.

"Meteor Fire Rain! Boom, boom, boom!"

Thousands of D-rank zombies were burned to ashes instantly. C-rank zombies couldn't last more than a second before falling, and B-rank zombies could barely withstand the assault for ten seconds, yet they still couldn't stop the terrifying combination of falling rocks and flames from the Meteor Fire Rain, which left their bodies riddled with bloody craters.

"Haha! Awesome! This is so satisfying! A single skill harvested 5,000 points! I’ll be ranked number one in no time!"

Dozens of A-rank zombies charged through the Meteor Fire Rain, aiming to kill Tai Hong, but his five tanks immediately blocked them.

Tai Hong then cast "Earth Fracture" beneath the feet of the A-rank zombies. The ground split open, and the zombies tumbled into a ten-meter-deep chasm. Tai Hong, who also mastered fire magic, then released "Explosive Flame," filling the entire chasm.

Among this group of A-rank zombies, one had the character "Nine" carved onto its head—it was the one Chen Mo had personally branded and appointed as General Nine.

General Nine led the zombies as they tried to scramble out of the chasm through the flames. Little did they know, Tai Hong was not just a fire mage, but a powerful earth mage as well!

Earth and fire dual-element—his strength was heaven-defying!

"Falling Rocks!"

Tai Hong released falling rocks, completely sealing the chasm and burning the dozens of A-rank zombies to death inside.

His points skyrocketed. Soon, Tai Hong surpassed Young Master Wei and Ning Xuan, taking the number one spot with 180,000 points!

...

"Oh? My ranking has been surpassed." Young Master Wei remained composed, waving his feather fan.

Ning Xuan was displeased. "How dare they pass my rank! Young Master Wei, we need to speed up!"

No sooner had she spoken than Ning Xuan fired her hands in both directions, unleashing Frost Rays that froze a circle of surrounding A-rank zombies.

Young Master Wei then tossed his feather fan; it traced a perfect arc through the air, shattering all the frozen zombies at once!

Since they were a team, the points were split between them.

Ding! Ding!

Crystals burst forth.

Young Master Wei said gentlemanly, "Ning Xuan, you should collect all these crystals. They will be very useful later on!"

Ning Xuan shook her head. "No, my brother said we shouldn't take advantage of others. We killed these monsters together, so the loot should be split 50/50."

Given the wealth of Young Master Wei's family, the crystals were expensive but affordable. However, since Ning Xuan insisted on an even split, Young Master Wei didn't stand on ceremony, and they divided the spoils.

Their combat cooperation was effortless: Ning Xuan was responsible for freezing all approaching zombies with her Frost Rays, while Young Master Wei easily shattered them with his feather fan—a weapon that appeared to have no elemental attributes.

Ning Xuan was curious. "Young Master Wei, what kind of weapon is your fan? Why is it so powerful?"

Young Master Wei didn't hide it. "This fan was passed down by our ancestors. For some reason, it can be brought into the dungeon. However, this fan has no attributes. To be precise, it is a growth-type weapon; its power is determined by my own strength!"

"A growth-type weapon?" Ning Xuan was puzzled, as such weapons were rarely seen in the world. She made a mental note to ask her brother about it later.

...

Chen Mo lay on his palanquin, watching the map. His second general, third general, and so on—all nine generals were disappearing one by one. The zombies around him were thinning, and the 19 red dots were drawing closer. Chen Mo knew the situation was dire; the 19 strongest players in the dungeon were about to reach his lair!

Being the final boss and welcoming the challenge of the players—the feeling was exciting, stimulating, tense, and full of anticipation. In short, Chen Mo’s mood was explosive!

There were 19 players in total, divided into four factions: the duo of Young Master Wei and Ning Xuan; the six-man squad from the Xingtian Guild; the five-man team led by Zhao Yinglong, the top-ranked powerhouse from Kyoto No. 1 High School; and the six-man "White Cloud" group from the White Cloud Canggou organization.

These four factions had fought their way from the four cardinal directions to the center. They glanced at each other, and with a silent, tacit understanding, they held their fire. Even though the White Cloud Canggou and the Xingtian Guild were enemies, they didn't engage—simply because, between them, stood a common enemy!

The final boss of the "PUBG" dungeon—the S-rank zombie!

And his little sister!!

Chen Mo had been calm, but upon seeing his sister among the player factions besieging him, he could no longer remain indifferent.

Hahaha! Chen Mo chuckled wickedly to himself. Little sister, big brother is going to give you a huge surprise in a moment!
