Chapter 29: “Reincarnation”
Some minutes later, Blanc started getting the impression that the number of zombies was decreasing, meaning she was finally close to clearing out the entrance to the ruins.
She had no idea how many she had killed. The zombies ate all the dead bodies, so the only things left were the remains of the final zombie and the one it had been eating.
“Hm? I wonder what happens to the ones that get eaten.”
Anyway, she could finally start exploring the ruins. Her original goal had been to kill off all the enemies, then try to claim the zone as her own base.
She carefully stepped over the zombie bodies and peeked into the hallway. Nothing was there. She went in all the way. She didn’t hear any sounds.
“Did I really get ’em all?”
Even if there were any zombies left, Blanc should be able to outrun them. Fortunately, this hallway was easier to traverse than the cave was. The zombies wouldn’t be able to chase her all the way out to the cave. If she ever got surrounded, as long as she could take down one zombie, that should redirect all the others to the corpse. If she only had to worry about zombies, she didn’t think she would have any trouble.
“I’ve been at it for a while now… Whoa, it’s already been eight hours!!! Hnn, well, whatever. I don’t got anything to do tomorrow anyway.”
She didn’t know what era these ruins were from, but being able to explore them was an experience she’d never have in the real world, or even in other VR games. Blanc felt touched at the idea. In a full reversal from the literal hell she had experienced earlier, she completely morphed into a tourist now.
