Interstellar Marriage Guide

Chapter 34.1 - Rescue

After escaping, Luo Fei and Mo Han went to find Frank and Kathleen.

The two had just walked forward a few steps when a call came from the communicator: “Mo Han, we’re surrounded at the convenience store!”

It was Kathleen. In the background was a burst of gunshots. Mo Han frowned, and immediately turned towards the convenience store.

Compared to the large-scale event at the hospital, the convenience store is smaller, and the number of zombies will not be as terrible as the hospital. But again, due to the narrower space, there are fewer places to hide or escape to.

Mo Han walked to the door of the convenience store and winked at Luo Fei, leaning his back against the wall outside the door. Luo Fei kicked open the door, and walked into the convenience store with a submachine gun. As soon as he entered the room, he saw a dozen zombies surrounding Frank and Kathleen. Kathleen had no weapon in her hand and was protected behind Frank, who only had a pistol in his hand.

They should have also triggered an event after finding the pistol, but escaped a step too late, and were surrounded by zombies.

Luo Fei shouted: “Squat down!”

Frank and Kathleen crouched down immediately when they saw him.

In the next second, deafening gunshots sounded – Luo Fei raised his submachine gun and a barrage of bullets swept across the zombies!

Those zombies turned their backs to Luo Fei, and before they had time to react, he smashed their heads instantly!

Bullet casings smashed rhythmically on the floor tiles of the convenience store, making a crackling sound. Ten seconds later, the group of zombies crashed to the ground. Frank and Kathleen, who were surrounded by them just a moment ago, looked up at Luo Fei in disbelief.

He only took ten seconds to kill them all, almost one shot per kill. His accuracy is unbelievable!

Luo Fei smiled and said, “Okay, come out!”

Frank came back to his senses, and immediately pulled Kathleen around the zombies and walked out.

Kathleen’s face turned pale. After all, she’s a girl, and being surrounded by zombies for a long time is both frightening and disgusting. Supporting herself with a nearby shelf, she took a deep breath to stabilize the urge to vomit. Frank was much calmer. He came over and patted Luo Fei on the shoulder, praising: “Nice, buddy, your marksmanship is really professional!”

Luo Fei glanced at him and asked, “Is your pistol out of bullets?”

Frank was a little embarrassed at the question. “We only found one pistol and ten bullets here. There were too many zombies and not enough bullets. When Kathleen sent you a message for help, there were only the last two bullets left.” Frank paused, then looked at Luo Fei suspiciously: “However, how do you know I’m out of bullets?”

Luo Fei explained: “I heard two gunshots from the communicator, and the sound of the magazine being emptied. I figured you asked for help because you were about to run out of bullets, so we rushed over immediately.”

“You can even hear this, amazing!” Frank gave a thumbs up.

When Luo Fei entered the store to save people, Mo Han stood guard outside the door, observing the surroundings and the situation inside. If zombies surrounded them, the situation would only get worse.

Mo Han was very surprised that Mr. F could solve the zombies inside so quickly.

In the chaotic scene in the hospital just now, Mr. F picked up the submachine gun and swept out a path of blood. At that time, he thought that this guy’s marksmanship was very accurate, but he didn’t expect it to be so accurate.

Generally speaking, the purpose of a submachine gun is to cover their teammates with heavy firepower. Shooting twenty bullets with a submachine gun and killing ten zombies is already very good, but Mr. F’s shots were mostly headshots. That is to say, in the process of sweeping across a large area, each bullet can accurately land on the zombies’ vital points. This keen observation, reaction, and skill is almost horrific.

Frank was absolutely right when he said his marksmanship is professional.

Who the hell is he?

Mo Han suddenly became curious about his identity, but now is not the time to pursue these matters.

Now that Frank and Kathleen have been rescued, Mo Han said: “Let’s get out of here quickly. Once the scene event is triggered, there will be a chain effect, and the surrounding zombies will definitely come out to chase us.”

However, Luo Fei said: “I don’t think there will be any zombies for a while.” time.”

Mo Han raised his eyebrows and asked, “Why do you say that?”

Luo Fei shrugged: “Because I have run out of bullets.” He took out the empty magazine to show Mo Han, and analyzed seriously, “Clearing nightmare mode is very difficult, such as Frank and Kathleen only finding one pistol and ten bullets, but facing more than ten zombies in the convenience store. You must hit every zombie accurately and escape quickly. If someone reacts too slow or doesn’t shoot accurately enough, they will be eliminated.”

Mo Han quickly understood his point, and nodded. “Yes, the hospital is the same. The number of bullets we found was more than one hundred, which should be proportional to the number of zombies. But because your marksmanship is too accurate, we solved the zombies efficiently without using my weapons. From a system perspective, we’ve already over-fulfilled the scene task.”

Luo Fei smiled and said: “Exactly. Nightmare mode is more difficult, but it will never deliberately trap players into death. Since there was an accident on Frank’s side, and we used up my bullets to rescue them, I don’t think there will be a large number of zombies for a while. At most, zombies in twos and threes will occasionally jump out to scare us. Until we find new weapons, there shouldn’t be another large-scale event triggered.”

Looking at his smiling expression, Mo Han felt a slight movement in his heart—

This man is calm and smart, skilled, and handles things crisply. He really is a rarely seen master.

After solving two waves of zombies in a row, he was able to quickly analyze the current situation, demonstrating his strong psychological quality.

Mo Han admired him quite a lot, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help lifting as he suggested, “It seems that we have to continue looking for equipment.”

Luo Fei nodded: “That’s right. I remember you picked up more than 30 rounds of pistol bullets in the hospital? Let’s share some so we both have weapons and can deal with any emergencies.” He paused, then lowered his voice to say, “Although there won’t be any zombie groups for a while, there’s no guarantee that other players will not appear.”

The system will monitor and score the situation of each player. They solved two difficult scenes, so the system won’t send more zombies for them to deal with for a while.

However, the location of other players is random. If there are other players nearby, they may be drawn by the sound of gunshots, and come to deal with them. After all, the points obtained from killing players are much higher than those from killing zombies.

Thinking of this, Mo Han’s expression also changed. He immediately took out the bullets from his pocket and distributed some to Frank who also had a pistol, and said softly, “Let’s take a detour.”

Luo Fei wanted to go ahead, but Mo Han stopped him. “I’ll go ahead.”

Luo Fei was startled, and then he heard Mo Han say: “Your weapon is out of bullets. Let me open the way this time.”

He remembered that when he was in the hospital, he had Mo Han follow behind him while he opened the path. But now, Mo Han is the one protecting him.

Luo Fei’s heart warmed. His vision is really good to fall in love with such a smart and kind person.

However, he is not used to being protected by others, Luo Fei turned his head to Frank and said, “How about this, Mo Han leads the way, I’ll be at the back. You can give me your weapon.”

In the past, Frank might have hesitated, but after seeing Mr. F’s terrifying marksmanship today, he decisively handed the pistol over.

The four-member team quickly left the convenience store and walked around to a side alley.

Mo Han opened the way ahead, Frank and Kathleen were in the middle, and Luo Fei followed the team at the end and observed the surroundings keenly.

The alley was very quiet, with an occasional zombie or two, which were quickly dealt with by Mo Han.

Luo Fei was surprised that his marksmanship was also very accurate.

It’s normal for a child born in a military family to receive training from childhood, but Mo Han was born in a business family. Does Mr. Mo Qiming even have to train him in this area? Is it because Mo Qiming had a psychological shadow from the kidnapping back then, so he wanted his son to learn marksmanship, to protect himself in case of trouble?

This explanation seems to make sense.

Luo Fei walked behind the team, looked at Mo Han’s back, and his thoughts sharpened—

No matter what happened to the Mo family back then, he will protect him in the future. No one will touch Mo Han with him here.

***

After dealing with some zombies in the alley, the four-member team continued searching for equipment from nearby houses.

They found a submachine gun, a sniper rifle, a large amount of ammunition, two binoculars, three grenades, some bandages, and two pieces of body armor.

Mo Han was already wearing body armor, and Luo Fei asked Frank and Kathleen to wear the other two pieces, but he didn’t wear them himself. He has a very keen sense of danger, so he gave priority to his teammates. This approach moved Frank and Kathleen, and their evaluations of Mr. F rose up another level.

Mo Han likes to use pistols, so he held an AK in each of his left and right hands.

The submachine gun just picked up was given to Frank. Kathleen is a sniper. She was very excited when she found the sniper rifle and equipped it immediately.

Since a large number of weapons were picked up, another event was triggered, and the narrow alley was surrounded by zombies.

Mo Han said: “Rush out!”

The four of them opened fire. Luo Fei and Frank carried submachine guns and fired crazily, and Mo Han shot with a pistol. Kathryn’s sniper rifle was temporarily unusable, so she followed closely behind the team.

Because Luo Fei’s marksmanship was too precise, the siege of hundreds of zombies failed to stop the four-person team.

Everyone quickly rushed out of the alley and finally came to the central area of the city. Mo Han found several tall statues and asked everyone to hide.

Clearing this dungeon requires players to come to the fountain in the center of the city and survive to the end. As time goes by, apart from the center, a terrifying wave of zombies will break out in other areas of the city. If players don’t find weapons and come here as soon as possible, they will definitely be swallowed up.

The fountain square is the last safe area.

But this doesn’t mean players are absolutely safe. On the contrary, it just means they’re safe from environmental hazards and monsters.

It is precisely because of this that there will be more intense player-to-player battles here!
