antly eliminated a full-health mage from the King's World team. The freelance players watching from outside the forest were astonished.Player A: "Damn! Why is he still so deadly even after switching w...Darkness enveloped the land, the stench of death permeating the air. Zhang Yi, stepping out of the safe zone through the light curtain, seemed to have gone from heaven to hell in an instant.

Across the ruined cityscape, smoke billows and swirling amidst it are countless grotesque bio-engineered behemoths of ranks 1 to 5. Crows squawk overhead.

Zhang Yi fearlessly strode into the beast horde, wielding his heavy iron hammer.

"Roar!"

As Zhang Yi stepped into the monsters' hate range, a wave of roars echoed as one low-level bio-engineered behemoth after another swooped towards him.

Zhang Yi wielded a large iron hammer, dancing it wildly and effortlessly.

Boom boom boom!

-48!

-48!

-51!

-94 critical hit!

……

"Ding~ You killed a level 3 [Bio-Cockroach], experience points 6!"

"Ding~ You killed a level 2 [Bio-Mutant Rat], gaining 2 experience points!"

……

One bio-monster after another was transformed into experience points and absorbed by Zhang Yi.

Monsters of levels 1-4 are nothing more than a 2-4 hammer blows for Zhang Yi's hands. The only thing that can truly threaten Zhang Yi now is a level 5 monster.

A level 5 bio-engineered beast, its attack power has reached a high of 25 points. A hit from Zhang Yi deals 18 points of damage, and its health reaches 240. Without a critical strike, Zhang Yi needs 6 hammer blows to kill one.

Almost every time Zhang Yi killed a level 5 bio-beast, he had to consume a bottle of red potion to make up for the loss.

However, level 5 monsters also have the highest rewards. A level 5 monster can give Zhang Yi a full 20 experience points! The minimum is 1 copper coin, and if you're lucky, the highest one can drop 3!

As Zhang Yi rushed towards the safety zone, he encountered many players on their way to the safety zone along the way.

Those players who had struggled hard all the way from their spawn point to get here were all very surprised to see Zhang Yi rushing out of the safe zone in the opposite direction, until they saw the white ID floating above his head - Yī Nò Qīngchéng!

"Damn, wasn't that guy the one who just made a system announcement about being the first player to reach the safe zone"

"A promise worth a city... no, that's the ID!"

"Good heavens, he even changed his weapon! Before we even reached the safe zone, he's already going out to kill!"

"Let's get to the safe zone quickly, I saw in the game manual on the Tianqi website that there's a limit to how many daily missions you can take, if we're late we won't even have any chicken dinners!"

Then, a large number of players brushed past Zhang Yi and hurried toward Hope Town.

In their eyes, even as the first to reach the safe zone, this "Yi Nuo Qing Cheng" was quite capable. Going out solo to farm monsters would only lead to a dead end.

At that moment, a scream echoed from the front.

Looking around, Zhang Yi saw a girl in a tank top and shorts not far ahead. She was pinned under a level 5 [Biohazard Spider], with only half her health bar remaining. After being bitten by the spider, her health dropped to a quarter!

"Help!"

"Don't be afraid, little girl, big brother is here to save you!"

Seeing a beautiful woman in distress, a young man with a beginner's sword rushed towards the mutated spider.

Unbeknownst to him, as he attempted a heroic rescue, the bio-spider retaliated before he could get close. With a single bite, it dealt 44 points of critical damage, triggering the [Poison] talent. Combined with the 3 points of poison damage per second, the young man was instantly killed in the blink of an eye.

A cry of "Ah!" rang out, and the young hero who came to rescue the damsel vanished in a flash of white light.

The level 5 bio-engineered spider continued to approach the wounded girl.

All the other players around saw that it was a level 5 monster. Adding to this, they had just witnessed with their own eyes how terrifyingly powerful this bio-spider was, instantly killing one player. This frightened them all into not daring to approach.

After all, in their eyes, although this is still just a game, once they die they have to return to the spawn point to revive. They worked so hard to get here, and now they are about to enter the safe zone. No one wants to lose everything because of an unfamiliar girl, who at most looks pretty good.

Just as the girl was about to be eaten by the big spider, Zhang Yi strode forward, carrying a large iron hammer.

Upon seeing this, the people around him let out a chorus of disdainful sighs.

"Hey, this guy thinks he's the hero just because he got a little reward for being the first into the safe zone and swapped out his weapon. Thinks he's going to save the day!"

"Just wait and see him get obliterated, I hope he pulls out that hammer of his, its attack power must be way higher than a beginner's sword!"

As a result, the surrounding players all watched Zhang Yi who was approaching both the bio-engineered spider and the girl with eager anticipation.

As soon as Zhang Yi got close, the bio-engineered spider sensed danger and immediately turned to pounce on him.

A hammer blow from top to bottom sent the bio-spider flying. A golden critical damage popped up above its head —

-94!

As the surrounding players gasped in shock, Zhang Yi swiftly approached, delivering two consecutive blows that dealt 47 points of damage each, killing the partially-healthy level 5 biochemical spider.

This scene shocked all the players around who had originally wanted to watch a good show.

Player A: “My god...what the heck kind of damage is that!”

Player B: "Damn, that hammer in his hand, is it a legendary weapon"

Player C: "I can't even deal him half the damage he does with a single hammer..."

……

Meanwhile, Zhang Yi had already quietly disappeared after collecting his loot of two copper coins while everyone was stunned.

Following the map's directions, it took Zhang Yi about ten minutes to travel from Hope Town all the way to the 【Apocalyptic Factory】. Along the way, the experience points contributed by those low-level monsters had already brought his experience bar to 70%, and he was about to level up to level 3!

In sight, there stood a derelict chemical processing plant in the middle of the wasteland. Wild grass had already overgrown its surroundings, and vines crawled all over the factory's chimney. The whole factory looked lifeless and menacing.

If an ordinary person were to play this post-apocalyptic survival game for the first time, they probably wouldn't even have the courage to approach this factory without a team. However, Zhang Yi didn't hesitate at all. He dragged his heavy iron hammer and walked straight into the factory.

Inside the factory, there are chemical reagent barrels lying all over the place, trash paper is everywhere, it's a mess. There are also many decaying and foul-smelling corpses of NPC workers scattered throughout.

Besides, one could see many beetle-like creatures with six legs and black bodies crawling on the corpses, gnawing at them with a chilling crunching sound.

These large insects are exactly what Zhang Yi is after on this trip.
