Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

Lin Yun took out another handful of Frost Sunflower Seeds and placed one on each of the Ghost Vine’s smaller vines, just in case. She also held a few in her own hand.

With the stem stick in her other hand, she quickly headed toward the mall.

After entering the mall, Lin Yun slowed her pace.

Before the torrential rain, the mall hadn’t been nearly as empty and quiet as it was now. Back then, there had still been zombies wandering around everywhere.

But now, all the zombies had gathered motionlessly on the third floor, leaving the entire mall eerily silent. The only sound was the rain falling outside.

After entering, Lin Yun shook the water from her protective suit at the doorway, taking advantage of the noise from the rain to cover any sound she might make.

She proceeded cautiously, paying close attention to her surroundings and carefully watching where she stepped to avoid knocking into anything.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Yun finally reached the third floor via the escalator.

This time, she mustered her courage and went straight up.

The zombies were exactly as she and Song Xizheng had left them. Nothing had changed.

Lin Yun cautiously approached one from behind, but the zombie remained completely motionless, seemingly unaware of her presence.

She wanted to get closer and inspect it, but she was worried that doing so might expose her. In the end, she had no choice but to give up.

Little Vine?

[Yes, yes, yes!]

Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good to know that she could still communicate with the Ghost Vine telepathically.

Stretch out your vines and see what the zombies are doing.

After giving the order, Lin Yun moved to the side and checked whether there were any zombies inside the nearby shops.

Seeing was believing.

There were indeed quite a few zombies standing inside the shops!

Without exception, they all had their backs turned toward the outside, so Lin Yun could only see their backs.

Lin Yun’s expression darkened again.

She simply couldn’t understand why these zombies had gathered here.

If they had been trying to escape the rising floodwaters, the water had already receded. There was no reason for them to remain gathered here.

Could it really be some kind of method of raising Gu?

But wasn’t raising Gu supposed to involve members of the same species directly fighting and devouring one another?

Before long, the Ghost Vine retracted its vines.

[They’re strange too. They all seem to be asleep.]

Asleep?

"Little Vine, can you explain in a little more detail?"

[They’re all standing upright with their eyes closed. It’s like when you sleep at night, except you’re lying down and they’re standing.]

Lin Yun glanced at the surrounding zombies again and decided it was better to leave for now.

She slowly backed toward the escalator.

Suddenly, something unknown crashed into an object somewhere nearby, producing a loud bang.

The sound was especially clear in the empty, silent mall.

Lin Yun’s body instantly stiffened, and her footsteps came to a halt.

She slowly turned her head toward the motionless zombies.

At that moment, Lin Yun’s mind went completely blank.

There was only one thought left in her head.

It’s over.

However...

The zombies didn’t react at all.

They remained standing there, completely motionless and seemingly indifferent to the loud noise.

Lin Yun slowly regained her composure.

These zombies... can’t hear me?

Suddenly, she became much bolder.

She picked up a Frost Sunflower Seed and threw it at the nearest zombie.

The zombie instantly froze into an ice sculpture.

The several zombies standing nearby were caught in the effect as well, turning into ice sculptures one after another.

Lin Yun immediately submitted all the frozen zombies to the system.

With the space around the escalator finally cleared, she moved the remaining zombies closer to that area as well.

She didn’t linger.

Instead, she quickly and cautiously made her way downstairs and left the mall.

She planned to return tomorrow and see whether the zombies would fill the empty spaces again.

Only after leaving the mall did Lin Yun finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She glanced back at the mall.

For some reason, it was becoming increasingly eerie.

Lin Yun shook her head, circled around the area once more, and headed toward the back door of the flower shop.

After opening the shelter door, Lin Yun didn’t rush inside.

Instead, she removed her protective suit right at the entrance. As she took it off, she placed one foot into a plastic basin she had just taken out.

Once the protective suit was completely removed, she entered the shelter, then stared at the suit sitting in the basin by the door.

Can I just put it in my backpack?

[Need it cleaned? Five points per cleaning, including the basin.]

"Yes!"

The system immediately cleaned the protective suit, gas mask, and even the dirt on the basin.

Lin Yun brought everything inside and set it aside.

She placed the backpack on the floor and let the two little ones climb out on their own. Then she hurried into the bathroom to take a proper shower.

She had been completely wrapped up in the protective suit and had spent the entire day moving around.

It had been fine while she was outside because the rain kept her somewhat cool, but climbing up and down buildings in the suit had left her feeling suffocated.

She was covered in sweat.

After removing the protective suit, her clothes were completely stuck to her body.

Her hair was soaked with sweat as well, clinging to her forehead and cheeks.

After quickly showering and washing her hair, Lin Yun finally felt alive again.

By then, it was already dark outside.

She didn’t even bother doing the laundry. Instead, she grabbed a box of food and immediately filled her empty stomach.

After feeding the little ones, Lin Yun leaned back in her chair and began carefully thinking about the zombies in the mall.

The Ghost Vine had said that all of them had their eyes closed.

Why?

And what about that loud bang?

Zombies had extremely sharp hearing, so why hadn’t they reacted at all?

Was that really normal?

"Little Vine, other than having their eyes closed, was there anything else strange about them?"

The Ghost Vine stopped playing with Ivy and thought carefully for a moment.

[No. They were just standing there with their eyes closed.]

Then it suddenly added:

[Oh, a few of the zombies had ruptured stomachs, and their insides were spilling out. Does that count?]

Lin Yun hissed again.

But she didn’t answer.

She had absolutely no idea what was going on.

At that moment, the mutated rose woke from its sleep and noticed that Lin Yun and the others had already returned.

[Hey, you’re back! A few new flowers have bloomed. Come and see if they’re what you wanted.]

[If they’re not, we’ll talk about it later. I’ll keep trying.]

Lin Yun froze for a moment.

After returning, she had been so busy cleaning herself up and dealing with everything that she had almost forgotten about the mutated rose.

"Where? Where? Let me see!"

The mutated rose seemed to have had enough sleep. Hearing this, it lazily raised one of its branches and extended it toward Lin Yun.

Lin Yun immediately noticed several...

Well, blue roses.

[Virus Rose: Effective against all viruses, except the zombie virus.]

Lin Yun stared at the flowers in disbelief.

"Isn’t this completely useless? What’s the point if it can’t cure the zombie virus?"
