Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Dead Silent City

"Compared to these fake nurse zombies in Raccoon City, I much prefer the nurse zombies in Silent Hill. Those are real nurses. I wonder if there’s a Silent Hill in Ashen World. I really want to experience the thrill of slicing through Silent Hill in real life."

Zhang Yanhang felt that since Raccoon City existed in Ashen World, it was only logical that Silent Hill could be there too. However, he didn’t know if Silent Hill was far from him. If it was too far, his little dream of cutting through Silent Hill would likely never come to fruition.

The reason Zhang Yanhang spontaneously mentioned Silent Hill was actually because he had found comics about the nurse zombies from Silent Hill while searching for information about zombies.

Honestly, the nurse zombies comics were indeed much more interesting than the Lickers’ comics—at least they were slightly less macabre and more acceptable to the general public.

After Zhang Yanhang made his choice, the screen above the slot machine continued to spin and finally settled on three familiar skull patterns. A transparent egg tumbled out of the dispenser and floated in mid-air.

As the transparent egg slowly opened, a fat and bloated nurse zombie, dressed in blue scrubs, fell straight into the hole below it and created a deep, powerful thud in the two-meter-deep pit.

Indeed, that’s how it was; there were no skirt-wearing white angels that Zhang Yanhang expected. Most nurse zombies here wore blue scrubs, and they were all quite old. Only a few wore white, but they wore pants instead of skirts. Strangely enough, a significant number of the nurse zombies were male.

So, overall, these nurse zombies in Raccoon City were truly subpar in every aspect, nothing compared to the skirt-wearing nurse zombies in Silent Hill.

"Alas, it looks like I’ll need to find a way to visit Silent Hill in the future to make up for my disappointment here."

Based on Zhang Yanhang’s observations, the three areas surrounding Raccoon City were definitely not Silent Hill. One was Goblin Plain, another a forest, and the last a mountain range. Both Goblin Plain and the forest, which supposedly contained the World Tree and elves, had nothing to do with Silent Hill.

As for the remaining yellowish-brown mountain range, that was even less likely. Although ’Hill’ is part of the name Silent Hill, it has nothing to do with actual mountains.

The story of Silent Hill takes place in a secluded town in the northeastern United States, whose English name is ’Silent Hill,’ also known as Dead Silent City, Ghostly Mountain Cabin, or Silent Hill.

Therefore, if Zhang Yanhang could find Silent Hill in Ashen World, it would definitely have enough buildings to qualify as a small town, just like Raccoon City. Naturally, it was impossible for a small town to appear in a large mountain, so the yellowish-brown mountain range also had nothing to do with Silent Hill.

But since none of the surrounding areas was Silent Hill, this meant that Silent Hill was at least hundreds of kilometers away from Zhang Yanhang because whether it was Goblin Plain, the forest, or the yellowish-brown mountain range, their land area was much larger than that of the small Raccoon City.

"So even if I find Silent Hill, I surely won’t be able to get past it anytime soon. After all, once I finish clearing Raccoon City, I’ll have to move on to clearing the Goblin Plain." But Zhang Yanhang was still intent on going to Silent Hill. As he pondered over the issue, he pulled the metal joystick of the slot machine.

...

It took Zhang Yanhang less than ten minutes to clear out the one hundred monsters in the slot machine. Probably because his strength had increased, his clearing speed was noticeably faster than the last time.

After killing all the zombies, Zhang Yanhang looked at the pit filled with bodies and began to contemplate another issue, "The Tyrant is over two meters tall, so if I want to continue killing Tyrants in this pit, I might need to enlarge the pit. Otherwise, the Tyrant could just step on the bodies of the zombies below and jump right out."

In fact, given the current depth of the pit, it wasn’t enough to stop not just the Tyrant, but even the Beta-type Hunter was a bit much to contain, only managing to hold the Licker who couldn’t stand upright. The Beta-type Hunter he killed this time had escaped the pit just like last time, and now its body, torn in half, was still steaming beside it.

Indeed, high-level biological weapons like the Beta-type Hunters are not devoid of body temperature like zombies. In fact, starting from the Lickers, these monsters’ body temperature had gradually become normal, no longer ice-cold like the low-level Ordinary zombies.

Even more so, starting from the T-001 Prototype Tyrant, they had gradually come to rely on their hearts for blood supply, unlike ordinary zombies who can’t die as long as their heads are intact. For the T-001 Prototype Tyrant, blowing up their hearts could indeed kill them.

In the game, this was a significant weakness of the T-001 Prototype Tyrant, and in Ashen World, Zhang Yanhang guessed that even if blowing up the heart might not kill the T-001 Prototype Tyrant outright, it would at least severely injure it. This was very important, as he would likely apply this knowledge later when clearing the Middle Layer area.

"It looks like I really do need to enlarge this pit, but for now, there’s no rush. I can expand this pit after I finish off the Tyrants.

To trap a Tyrant over two meters tall, I need to dig the pit at least four or even five meters deep. Only then will the Tyrant not be able to climb out easily. Moreover, I might also need to similarly enlarge the length and width."

Zhang Yanhang shook his head as he looked at the pit that had accompanied him for several days. If it were only Ordinary zombies, this pit would truly allow for a one-time investment for a lifetime’s use.

However, the appearance of the Beta-type Hunter, something Zhang Yanhang hadn’t initially anticipated, meant that the pit was no longer sufficient. This was a flaw in his design. He could only say that his initial consideration was not comprehensive enough because he never imagined that the monster refresh in the slot machine would correlate with his progress in the game.

"Next, I need to start clearing the Middle Layer of Raccoon City. I hope everything goes well." As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he carried the slot machine back to Apartment 301.
