To be precise, there were two factions of players, and their numbers were not small.
Judging by their attire, appearance, and the aura exuding from them, one of those factions was definitely that bunch of accursed scumbags who had tried to drag her down yesterday.
Even though murderous intent toward this faction of players had already welled up in her heart, Song Yu’s face betrayed no outward sign of it.
After all, with the enemy being strong and her being weak for the moment, making an appropriate tactical retreat was extremely necessary.
Song Yu was very clear on her own objective, and she would firmly march toward that goal!
Regardless of how the process played out, achieving the objective was what mattered.
“G-good morning.”
Song Yu’s appearance abruptly shattered the standoff between the two player factions, causing the attention of all the players to instantly lock onto her.
She flashed an awkward yet polite smile.

Song Yu hadn’t wanted to make such a conspicuous entrance, but the street directly behind the apartment building was entirely choked with zombies, leaving her no choice but to come this way.
She had even purposely avoided the main door, slipping out through a window in the most secluded corner.
Yet it still ended up attracting the attention of these players.
Various gazes landed on Song Yu—some indifferent, others tinged with malice. On her face, Song Yu maintained a blank, flustered expression laced with a trace of fear.
What an innocent, timid little white flower she looked like.
“Move along. This has nothing to do with you.”
The leader of the group cast an indifferent glance at Song Yu, his voice cold and crisp.
“Move along my ass! None of you are walking out of here today!”
Before Song Yu could even leave, the leader of the opposing player faction sneered and spoke up.
“Honestly hand over your supplies right now!”
“Otherwise… heh heh.”
Listening to that bunch of accursed scumbags, Song Yu looked at their motley crew of scrawny, monkey-like members, and then glanced back at the opposing group, who—regardless of gender—all sported matching long legs and well-defined muscles.
Song Yu found it deeply bizarre: how on earth did they possess the audacity to utter such words?
Whether viewed from the advantage of numbers or quality, the side with the 1.9-meter-tall guys seemed far stronger, right?
“1.9 Meters” was the nickname Song Yu had just assigned to the leader of that group of long-legged folks.
However, Song Yu soon understood why those scrawny monkeys over there felt so confident.
Click—
A crisp sound of a bullet being chambered rang out.
The scrawny monkey leader suddenly produced a handgun in his hand, aiming it straight at 1.9 Meters’ head with a wild, arrogant grin.
“I said, hand over all the supplies on you!”
“And you over there! Don’t even think about running!”
He didn’t forget to bark at Song Yu as well.
He had seen it yesterday: that woman was travelling with a dog and even riding a bicycle!
Living so leisurely, the goods on her person definitely weren’t few!
One had to admit that while this scrawny monkey’s strength and character left much to be desired, his eye for spotting targets was genuinely decent.
The supplies carried by the entire batch of people on 1.9 Meters’ side combined probably didn’t amount to as much as Song Yu’s personal stash alone.
The deterrent force of a firearm was more than sufficient, forcing even 1.9 Meters and his group to tread carefully.
Song Yu silently lowered her head, retrieving that pistol from her backpack slots.
Because Song Yu looked far too easy to bully, and because she was flying solo, these two factions of players actually paid her virtually no mind.
As the two sides faced off in a standoff, Song Yu kept her head down, fiddling with her pistol. She had never been exposed to this kind of thing before.
Seeing one in a cinematic work was one thing, but touching a real one with her own hands was an entirely different matter.
Song Yu’s parents had divorced when she was young, and her grandmother had struggled through hard times to raise her. Being a sickly kid dependent on medicine, she had neither the spare time nor the money to develop any hobbies.
Holding a real handgun, Song Yu actually found it quite interesting—the solid, chillingly cold tactile sensation.
“Hey, stinking bitch, hand over—”
A player from the scrawny monkey’s team walked up to Song Yu with a ferocious glare, opening his mouth to spew something.
Click—
Yet another crisp sound of a bullet being chambered rang out.
Only to see Song Yu execute a lightning-fast raise of her hand, shoving the pitch-black barrel straight into his mouth.
“…”
It was clearly still early morning with a biting spring chill, yet beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead. The player swallowed hard with nervous tension, his entire body trembling involuntarily.
A pungent, stale odor instantly permeated the air. Song Yu frowned and quickly backed away a few steps.
So disgusting.
This guy’s courage was too pathetic.
“With guts that small, how dare you copy people and go out robbing?”
Song Yu’s voice was very soft; aside from the players directly facing her, absolutely no one else could hear it.
Meanwhile, the situation over there wasn’t playing out the way the scrawny monkey leader had envisioned either.
He had anticipated those players immediately dropping to their knees to beg for mercy at the sight of his gun, obediently offering up all their supplies and women.
In reality, he was swept off his feet by a single kick from one of the opposing male players, not even getting a chance to pull the trigger.
Don’t let the fact that the scrawny monkey’s team consisted entirely of men fool you—they weren’t even remotely enough for a single young lady from 1.9 Meters’ team to take down solo!
This was the difference between being trained and untrained.
The scrawny monkey’s gun was promptly confiscated. Just when Song Yu thought she could trail behind these players to pick up some easy scraps, she heard 1.9 Meters state:
“Don’t pull this kind of stunt ever again.”
“Move out.”
“???”
Song Yu was profoundly shocked, finding this development utterly unbelievable.
Leaving aside the fact that he didn’t execute all of them on the spot, he was actually letting them all go!
Not only did he let them go, but he confiscated nothing other than the single handgun!
Was this the legendary “holy father” (white knight archetype)?!
Watching the calm, unperturbed expressions of 1.9 Meters’ companions, Song Yu fell silent without a word.
A holy father was still better than a murderous maniac. When someone like that was on the enemy’s side, it was truly wonderful.
It was just a pity that, given the current circumstances, that pack of scrawny monkeys would likely assume Song Yu was in cahoots and allied with them.
In reality, Song Yu had zero relation to them whatsoever!
She had to figure out a way to take care of that scrawny monkey.
1.9 Meters and his group had the strength to not fear that pack of scrawny monkeys, but Song Yu certainly didn’t.
A lone female player, even when accompanied by an imposing, majestic large dog, was still an extremely easy target to deal with.
One had to admit that the kindness shown by 1.9 Meters and his group had left behind a deeply hidden, severe hazard for Song Yu.
After the scrawny monkeys scrambled away in a panic, under the watchful gaze of 1.9 Meters, Song Yu reluctantly let the player who had peed his pants out of sheer fright scurry off.
Naturally, on the surface, she still maintained a completely obedient, consenting expression.
This group of players didn’t linger long; after casting a nod in Song Yu’s direction, they quickly departed.
Left behind, Song Yu felt her teeth grind with intense hatred. They had walked away, dumping all the trouble right onto her lap!
And she couldn’t even vent her dissatisfaction right in front of them!
Fortunately, Song Yu still had her reliable Xiao Hei.
“Xiao Hei, let’s go! Trail right behind them!”
Song Yu directed Xiao Hei to begin a relentless tracking operation, probing for the traces and movements of those players.
Sooner or later, she’d wipe out those guys from just now along with the rest of them!
This matter had to be resolved thoroughly and cleanly, otherwise Song Yu would be plagued by endless future troubles.
Song Yu’s mindset was remarkably straightforward; the four characters “cutting weeds and eliminating roots” were deeply branded into her heart.
Her mindset was extremely well-suited for this game: victory achieved at any and all costs.
Even if it was a little cruel.
