Chapter 597: Chapter 292 Tutorial

After a day of intensive training, the results were already apparent. In the combat against zombies with cold weapons by Hong Yi and the other two, their tactical awareness had improved very quickly. Tactical awareness can’t rely solely on theoretical knowledge. Questions like, how many steps do you retreat? How to use terrain to your advantage? How to handle being flanked? All these require experience and on-the-spot judgment.

What surprised Maya was that Qinglang, the one who screamed while fighting monsters before, was now the most improved and best-performing. It should be noted that now, Qinglang, wielding a blunt weapon, was very steady and calm when facing zombies. Without any skill enhancement, he managed to handle two zombies at once with ease, eliminating them without any danger or surprises.

Maya said to Qinglang, "You have a strong natural talent for fighting and combat."

Qinglang replied earnestly, "Thank you for your compliment, instructor."

Lin Wu asked, "What about me?"

Hong Yi laughed and interjected, "With your level, you don’t need any talent at all."

Lin Wu pondered the meaning of those words. Was it praising his high skill level or mocking his lack of talent? Regardless, as the assistant instructor, Lin Wu complained, "Instructor, Hong Yi is distracted and not focused on the fight."

Maya pushed Lin Wu’s head aside with one hand and said, "Everyone, rest for a moment. Let’s discuss how to protect yourself when attacked by zombies." This was a more detailed situation — when bitten, one must use their hands to protect the neck. Additionally, there are tactics on how to deal with zombies when you’re on the ground, how to effectively resist, and so on.

Because there was a medical facility in the exercise, Maya’s requirement for them was to survive. For Hong Yi and the others, today’s special training was extremely beneficial. It’s worth mentioning that they had killed more zombies in this one day than they had in the past year.

...

At dinner time in the evening, although the details of the event were still unclear, Maya began assigning roles and positions for each person in the event. Shuihua was assigned logistics, Qinglang and Hong Yi were all-rounders, and whoever was needed in logistics or fieldwork, they would fill in. Lin Wu, of course, had to be sent out.

The three from Night Moon weren’t afraid of the event. With Maya, a big shot, leading the team, they were very interested in the upcoming event. In their previous events, not only were they barely noticeable, but their survival time was also very short. This meant that whenever they took part in system activities, they lacked motivation.

After Maya delegated tasks, the remaining time was filled with the other four’s chattering discussion and speculation.

The next day at 7:30 am, the system broadcast reminded that the event would start in half an hour. Teams could either register as a base unit or team up with allies for registration. Players who were neither from a base nor allied were not allowed to register as a team. A special reminder was given: The team leader is a very important position.

At eight o’clock sharp, everyone was teleported into the instance.

It was a small train station located in a valley. On the platform stood a chubby NPC, who looked exactly the same as the uncle from the Bounty Hunter Hall. Next to the uncle was a pile of coal.

There was a train on the railway with only one carriage. As far as the eye could see, beyond a kilometer away, the scenery was dark, with Blood Mist swirling on the edge of the darkness.

The uncle told everyone not to rush, as there was a ten-minute tutorial for beginners. First, the uncle gave each person a plastic bag to carry in their backpack; this plastic bag could transport coal. The most impressive part was that it could hold an infinite amount, as long as you can carry the weight.

The uncle led everyone to the front of the train where there was no door, and the interior was very simple. There weren’t many operations that the driver had to handle. The first item was the speed. After adjusting the speed, the coal in the coal pile would reduce automatically as the train started. Just like the plastic bag, the coal pile only displayed the remaining amount of coal, and its size didn’t change irrespective of the amount of coal.

The second item was entering numbers on the control panel. The uncle hypothesized that there were three railway forks. From left to right, they were 1, 2, and 3, and whichever rail you chose, you’d enter that number. You must enter it before reaching the fork; otherwise, the system would randomly select a branch.

Maya asked, "What do Rails 1, 2, and 3 represent?"

"Come with me."

The uncle led them to the waiting hall, picking up an envelope from a seat. He opened the envelope and took out a letter, "Dear Joe, I’ve bought a ticket for Rail 3, I’ll be flying to your side soon. Hope to see you at a station blooming with rapeseed flowers. What does this mean?"

Hong Yi answered, "It means the destination of Rail 3 is a rapeseed field."

The uncle noncommittally said, "Probably."

Sitting down, the uncle felt under the chair and pulled out a card, reading, "Rail 2 is a trap, remember, Rail 2 is a trap. Signed: Flying Hero."

Maya said, "There are two wanted posters on the wall outside the station, and one of them is called Flying Hero."

Everyone nodded in appreciation, noting that she had paid attention to that detail.

The uncle asked as a guide, "What does this imply?"

Shuihua answered, "It implies Rail 2 is not a trap."

"Probably," said the uncle, leading them into the steward’s room. He pulled open a drawer and exclaimed with delight, "Look, what have I found?" He took out an AK rifle from the drawer. The uncle looked at the five and said, "Sorry, I found it, so this gun is mine."

"Damn!" They had thought it was a weapon for newcomers; turns out it was part of the tutorial. This was to tell everyone to search the place after arriving.

The uncle opened the second drawer, pulling out a card, "Oh my, it turns out to be a dormitory card, let’s go out."
