Chapter 119: Dawn

It was unknown whether the information could be used directly or not, though.

Huo Yingsu had no idea what the next stage that she had to encounter would be.

As she continued to watch the barrage, a sudden notification rang beside her ear.

[Ding! It’s now dawn and you may leave the mourning hall.]

"Huh, I can already leave the mourning hall? But the first puzzle didn’t seem to be completed yet..." Huo Yingsu was troubled.

She frowned and opened the panel again to read the instruction carefully.

...

[First Puzzle (Simple Level): Zombies in the well inside the mourning hall

Introduction: You have 30 minutes of preparation time to find a way to pass this level. You can use any skills you have or any tools available in the hall to help you complete the level. As long as you can eliminate the zombies, you can pass this level.

Note: This is a personal puzzle level game, you can only communicate with your team members during the preparation time and after you have completed the puzzle

Note 2: During the preparation time, the player can attack the zombies early and as long as the player didn’t attack the zombie, they would not wake up]

Pass Requirement: Kill the zombies (no matter what the method is)

Reward: Second Puzzle unlocked]

...

Pass Requirement: Kill the zombies (no matter what the method is)

Huo Yingsu stared at this sentence and fell into silence.

So...

She still have to kill the zombies?

Huo Yingsu thought that she didn’t have to kill the zombies and could pass the level easily.

But she’s wrong.

The Live Stream Horror Survival Game wouldn’t make it so easy for her to pass.

’But the viewers clearly said that simple dungeon didn’t really require one to have awakened their abilities to complete. Ordinary people can complete it on their own, so is the key come from the door or the dawn?’

Huo Yingsu was thinking as she jumped down from the coffin and walked to the door.

Without her weight adding the weight of the coffin and wooden board, the shaking became even more obvious.

But Huo Yingsu had no time to care about it.

It was inevitable for her face the zombies anyway.

Walking to the door, Huo Yingsu pushed the door open and saw that the sun was rising from the east.

It was indeed dawn.

And it was really warm.

The mourning hall was very cold and Huo Yingsu really wanted to complain to the Live Stream Horror Survival Game that it should have prepared a blanket for her. Thankfully, it was still somewhat bearable for her.

Otherwise, she would have to spend much more to buy things from the mall.

’The sun...’

...

[Aaahh, Ying Ying finally come down from the coffin.]

[Did she solve the puzzle?]

[No, it’s time for Ying Ying to fight against the zombies and I want to see her wield a sword and cleave them!]

[I think her weapon last time was a makeshift spear?]

[Pfft! That spear was really bad]

[There’s no condition for her to build any proper spear, so just make do with whatever she could find]

[Bwahahahahaha!]

[I wonder how Ying Ying is planning to kill these zombies. Well, if she fight outside the mourning hall, then it would be possible for her to fight for a long time]

[Tsk, her stamina is limited]

[And the Live Stream Horror Survival Game is already giving them a lot of tips in order to complete the simple puzzle. If these players still can’t solve it, then it just mean they’re so weak and stupid]

[I feel that you’re insulting me and I have evidence for it]

[Ehehehe~]

[Oh, the zombies are about to come out]

...

The last line of the barrage made Huo Yingsu turn around and she saw the coffin shaking and wouldn’t take long to be overturned.

But she didn’t move to reinforce it.

Instead, Huo Yingsu glanced up at the sun that was rising and then at the sunlight on the ground. She slowly but surely took a few more steps back and let the sunlight enter the mourning hall.

Her mind was repeating the sentence that she knew.

’The puzzle can be completed without violence.’

If the puzzle can truly be solved without violence nor without strong power, then does it mean she can borrow the power of nature?

The movies that she had watched in the past never stated that zombies are afraid of the sun.

But this is the Live Stream Horror Survival Game.

And this is a puzzle dungeon instead of the exploration world dungeon like her first world.

It wouldn’t be surprising if there was some hidden settings or something like that.

Of course, if the sunlight didn’t work, then Huo Yingsu would burn down the entire mourning hall.

She had checked the price of gasoline and lighter.

It was still doable for her.

Besides, didn’t the viewers from the Live Stream Horror Survival Game promised her that they would give her points for every zombies she killed?

Huo Yingsu didn’t know whether killing the zombies through the mechanism of the puzzle would count or not.

But at the very least, she had to try.

Bang!

The wooden door cracked and then the coffin slid off to the side, allowing the zombies to come out one after another.

’They’re coming.’

Huo Yingsu held her breath, staring at the zombies that came out from the well as they crawled or climbed up. Their movements were slow and unhurried with a lot of jerky movements.

The zombies itself was not like those walking corpses in the movies.

Rather...

They looked more like mummies.

Huo Yingsu stared in their direction and the moment they walked on the area that was lighted with sunlight, these zombies scream and their bodies turn into ashes, disappearing into countless small particles invisible to the eyes under the light.

It was beautiful.

And a notification sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations for passing the first puzzle.]
