    ## Chapter 74: You disturbed the Witch

    “Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!”

    Three exclamations rang out!

    Liu Pei Jia, holding an M4 rifle, kept firing at the zombie horde while shouting to Donggua who was not far away:

    “Donggua! Amazing! Amazing!”

    “Amazing your ass!!!”

    A second later, Donggua’s angry curse echoed!

    Right at that moment, he was being held in the hands of the Brute Bull special infected, slammed against the ground over and over again like a rag doll, flying everywhere!

    “I’m being grabbed by the bull! Do I need you to remind me? Damn it! Ow! What the…”

    “Quack, quack, quack—“

    The absurd scene sent Qiezi into goose-like laughter, even facing the roaring zombie horde, he couldn’t hold back:

    “Just hold on a little longer! I’ll be right there to save you, quack, quack, quack…”

    Not bad!

    The Qiezi squad, originally FPS players, picked up the game quickly, and their progress was fast.

    While A Yin and the rest were still struggling to survive in the first map, Qiezi, Donggua, Liu Di, and Xiao Hei had already cleared the first safe house and were on their way to the next.

    Compared to the first skyscraper map, the second map had way more special infected.

    There were self-exploding fatties who could spit bile, Smokers who could spit out their tongues to bind people, Hunters who could instantly knock people down.

    And now there was the Attacker, who was beating Donggua mercilessly.

    These special infected were all kinds of weird, with unique abilities, and they usually appeared together with the zombie horde, causing chaos every time.

    But!

    Qiezi and the others were still having a blast!

    Firstly, this level of challenge was just right, adding some difficulty to the exhilarating game experience.

    Secondly, the feel of this groundbreaking second-generation FPS game was just too good!

    Of course!

    The most crucial thing was that the sliding and crawling movements gave them an entirely new gaming experience.

    Now, this bunch of guys were not running anymore, they were sliding!

    *Swoosh!*

    Qiezi slid, aiming with his rifle, *bang bang bang* three bullets exploded the zombies’ heads.

    *Swoosh!*

    Liu Di slid, his katana slashing horizontally, cutting a bunch of zombies in half.

    *Swoosh!*

    Xiao Hei slid, dual wielding Desert Eagles shooting left and right, creating a vacuum zone around himself.

    *Swoosh!*

    Donggua slid, directly colliding with the Attacker, and got lifted up for a beating on the spot.

    *Thump! Thump! Thump!*

    *Bang bang bang!*

    Finally!

    The zombie horde was cleared.

    Under the combined attacks of the three, the Attacker let out a disgruntled roar, and collapsed heavily to the ground with a *thump*.

    The barrage of comments finally relaxed:

    ‘You finally remembered Donggua’

    ‘《Donggua! Amazing!》’

    ‘Donggua’s hyperthyroidism is cured’

    ‘One Donggua, one A Yin, pure bad luck’

    ‘Hahaha, I just came from the Leader’s livestream, the Leader is already depressed’

    ‘Gotta say, Team Leader Yin’s side is really entertaining’

    ‘It’s not bad here either, basically all the special infected are handled by Donggua, like a freaking magnet…’

    ‘…’

    Laughing and chatting!

    The group continued forward.

    The sound of sliding *swoosh swoosh* echoed frequently, their ‘joyful laughter’ made the livestream feel like being in the middle of mountains, with monkeys calling out constantly on both sides.

    Although there were scattered zombies on the road, they were quickly killed by their precise gun skills.

    They crossed the highway, went around corners, and arrived under a bridge.

    The number of zombies under the bridge wasn’t that many. Liu Di swung his long knife, one cut per zombie, and quickly cleared them all.

    However, the only thing that made them feel strange was that, while all the zombies were like mad dogs rushing at them to bite, there was a figure kneeling on the road not far away, motionless, seemingly with no desire to attack.

    From the back, it looked like a woman.

    Her skin was fair, even a little pale.

    She wore a cool sleeveless tank top, the hem a little torn.

    And below that, it was even cooler, you could even vaguely see her round and exquisite hip line.

    At this moment, the slender woman was covering her face with her hands, her shoulders trembling slightly, she was sobbing softly.

    “Hey, hey, hey!”

    Seeing this, Donggua’s eyes lit up!

    He quickly poked Qiezi next to him:

    “Qiezi! Look at that! Tsk tsk! Look over there!”

    Donggua’s reminder quickly caught the attention of the other members of the squad.

    They all looked over and exclaimed in unison, “Oh—!”

    Perhaps she heard their voices, or maybe she was tired of sitting.

    The slender woman slowly stood up from the road, still covering her face.

    Her straight and long legs, her cool outfit, and her fair and delicate skin.

    For a moment, Qiezi squad members couldn’t help but feel a little flustered.

    “Oh, oh, oh, what the… I can’t stand this.”

    Xiao Hei said he couldn’t stand it, but his eyes were glued to the woman, he couldn’t even turn his head.

    “WDNMD! Don’t look, Xiao Hei! You really shouldn’t even look!”

    Qiezi strongly objected to this hypocrisy, he was watching openly and honestly.

    “This game, what the… no wonder it’s locked to 16+…”

    On the other side, Donggua’s drool was about to drip, he couldn’t help but walk towards her.

    As for Liu Di, taking advantage of the protection of the 16+ livestream, he was even more brazenly driving.

    Seeing the fair woman walking towards the toilet, he followed two steps:

    “Hey, hey, hey, Donggua! Is she going to the toilet? Damn it, don’t go to the toilet, pee on me…”

    As soon as he said that, the team exploded!

    Everyone roared with laughter and cursed, the livestream was filled with a symphony of chirping and cybertronian language!

    “I*** Liu Di, you’re a***, quack quack quack…”

    “You’re really a***! ***Hahaha!”

    “You’re a real*** pervert, I***!”

    “Hahaha, you’re so *** pure, I***…”

    The barrage was also instantly blown up—

    ‘《The current state of the FPS area》’

    ‘《Everyone is a coward and a lecher》’

    ‘I can’t take it anymore, it’s too perverted, I’m f***ing laughing…’

    ‘You know how awkward it is for me to have the speaker on, damn it’

    ‘Purely born, WDNMD’

    ‘How come 16+ seems like a golden shield for you guys? ’

    ‘Thank the rating system, it saved your area’

    ‘Reverse the sky, reverse the big sky, really’

    ‘Born, iron-born’

    ‘I’m going to laugh until I vomit…’

    ‘…’

    Amidst the laughter and cursing!

    The group followed the woman’s footsteps.

    They could hear the woman’s whimpering sobs, a little creepy, but it couldn’t help but make people feel a little sorry for her.

    Seeing this, Donggua couldn’t help but approach.

    He raised his shotgun in a flamboyant way, shone the flashlight on the woman:

    “Hey, girl, going out alone?”

    *Wuuuu, wuuuu*—The woman’s crying seemed to weaken a little.

    Seeing that the woman was reacting, Donggua took another step forward: “Don’t cry, it’s okay, don’t worry, we’re not bad… bad people!”

    As he spoke, Donggua took two quick steps and got in front of the woman, wanting to see her true face, and asked as he walked:

    “Are you an NPC? Is there a quest? How do I take it? Also, you…”

    The next second.

    Donggua’s voice choked.

    On her pale wrist, blood-red claws spread out like branches, the blood-red eyes in her knuckles, like light bulbs, stared fixedly at him.

    Resentful, vicious, terrifying.

    At this moment, Donggua recalled the fear he had experienced in 《Terror Phobia》 when he was dominated by the female ghost Xiunang.

    A big question mark lingered in his mind—

    How the hell could someone use the same creepy face model in two different games?

    But on second thought.

    Oh.

    This is Lang Yue Game, it’s the work of the Supernova freak Gu Sheng.

    Everything seemed reasonable now.

    Thinking of this.

    Donggua slowly raised his gun, aiming at the witch, the zombie version of Xiunang, took a deep breath, drew in his belly, and his voice boomed—

    “WDNMD!”

    *Bang!!!*

    “AAAAAAAHHHH—!!!”

    The roar of the gunshot and the witch’s ear-piercing scream rang out at the same time!

    Then!

    A big red warning popped up on everyone’s head-up display:

    【You disturbed the Witch!】

    Qiezi squad went crazy!

    “WDNMD Donggua! You again!”

    “Hit her! Hit her! What the… Stop talking!”

    “Hey, hey, hey, what the… she’s coming towards us!”

    “Run! Run!”

    Chaos!

    Seeing that the situation was bad!

    Donggua yelled, reacted quickly, and ran for his life!

    But, he ran, but Liu Di behind him was in trouble.

    Because the witch’s attack logic was to choose the nearest unit as the target.

    So, Liu Di, who was still bragging, didn’t even realize what was going on, just heard a piercing scream!

    The next second!

    A flash of blood-red light flashed before his eyes, and the witch’s big slap landed heavily on his face!

    *Snap!*

    Liu Di didn’t make a sound, he fell to the ground on the spot!

    Seeing this, the barrage was in an uproar:

    ‘What the hell is this attack power? Full health one-shot? One slap almost dead?’

    ‘Young people are in good shape, they just lie down for a beat’

    ‘Today is Wednesday, April 6th, 9:10 pm, Liu Di’s ‘pee on me’ was mercilessly killed, a warning bell rings’

    ‘Hahaha, it’s absurd…’

    ‘This is too fierce!’

    ‘I knew Shengzi Ge wouldn’t let the game be purely fun, that’s not his style’

    ‘Indeed, if he doesn’t design some creepy and absurd things, Lang Yue Game will definitely not be satisfied’

    ‘But this is too creepy, even on normal difficulty it’s one-shot almost dead? Expert difficulty, wouldn’t it be a one-shot kill?’

    ‘My evaluation is—it’s open’

    ‘This is too violent, is it a one-shot kill hack?’

    ‘Open it up, it’s interesting…’

    ‘…’

    Seeing the situation take a sharp turn, the audience who were originally watching for entertainment were laughing heartily!

    But the remaining three, only regretted not being born with an extra leg, they ran for their lives!

    Originally, the witch’s setting was that she would lose her target and stop chasing once she reached a certain distance.

    But!

    As the barrage said, how could a freak like Gu Sheng continue with this setting?

    If running after causing trouble was useful, it would be like a Souls game without a Fog Gate, meaningless.

    So!

    Gu Sheng changed the witch’s chase logic to: permanent pursuit after being disturbed.

    Either you die! Or I die!

    The witch was fast.

    In just a few breaths!

    Xiao Hei, who was trailing behind, let out a scream, instantly almost dead!

    For a while, only Qiezi and Donggua were left!

    The two slid and ran, one after another, like playing a game of A radish squats, then B radish squats.

    Qiezi saw the witch getting closer and closer, and couldn’t help but feel terrified: “WNMD, what to do! Donggua! She’s catching up!”

    “What can we do! Run! Run and shoot!”

    As he spoke, Donggua fired two shots back!

    “No!”

    Seeing the witch take the two shots as if nothing had happened, and continue to roar and chase, Qiezi’s tone was filled with fear:

    “We can’t outrun her either!”

    “I know, I didn’t say we have to outrun her,”

    As he spoke, Donggua gave a wicked smile, took out an adrenaline shot from his waist, and plunged it into his thigh with a *poof*:

    “I just need to outrun you, that’s all! Bye!”

    The next second, Qiezi’s howling and cursing echoed in the livestream:

    “Donggua! WDNMD! You’re a real ***!”

    Today, the Shark livestream platform!

    The wind was howling, and the zombies were roaring!

    The administrators in the background were going crazy!

    Because they had never seen so many livestreams needing moderator intervention, locked to 16+ at the same time!

    From the gaming area to the dance area, from the beauty area to the singing area.

    Every area, dozens at least, four or five at the least, were all streaming 《Left 4 Dead》!

    Even though!

    In the game, the zombie virus won’t spread among the four protagonists.

    But this game, like a virus, spread rapidly in the livestream platform!

    Its popularity was so explosive, it even had the potential to become a phenomenon!

    Seeing this scene, the Iron Triangle was the happiest.

    After all, they had high hopes for this game.

    And at this rate, they could possibly break the 100,000 sales milestone in the first week!

    This was something worth celebrating.

    Because according to ArtJoy’s statistics, in the past year, there were only six games on the ArtJoy X1 platform that broke the 100,000 sales milestone in the first week.

    And these six games all had a cost of over 50 million.

    In other words.

    If they made it into ArtJoy’s sensory pod platform’s ‘Seven One Zero Club’ (7 days, 100,000 sets) with this 《Left 4 Dead》.

    Then, without a doubt, Lang Yue Game would create history, becoming the member of the Seven One Zero Club with the most outrageous profit-to-cost ratio in ArtJoy history.

    This would also indirectly prove the success of the second-generation FPS and its infinite potential in the future!

    Even, this honor would directly promote Lang Yue Game to become a deep strategic partner of ArtJoy.

    It would promote all-round and three-dimensional multifaceted forms of cooperation and exchanges.

    It would be beneficial to both parties.

    It could be said that seeing this promising situation, everyone in Lang Yue Game, except Shen Miaomiao, was genuinely excited!

    However.

    They didn’t know.

    Besides them, who were the direct beneficiaries, feeling happy and excited about the explosive popularity of 《Left 4 Dead》.

    Far away in Shenzhou, the head of Guangyao Game Studio, one of the five ace studios under Xun Teng Game—Ding Kai, was also genuinely happy!

    “Lang Yue Game, as the pawn leading the charge, can help us explore the realm of gameplay, prove the feasibility of the second-generation FPS game format, I’m of course happy,”

    As he spoke, Ding Kai picked up a red Rook on the chessboard:

    “I said before, only when the game industry collectively prospers, when new forces emerge, we, as the big brothers, will have a better life,”

    “After all, a Rook always runs faster than a Pawn…”

    After that!

    Ding Kai’s red Rook marched forward, capturing the lone black Pawn on the other side!

    *Click!*

    “Checkmate!”
