"This, so much!" Du Dian and Macon couldn't help but frightened.
At this time, Scott, who was running at the front, saw that they were still in a daze, and immediately roared: "Run!"
Du Di'an woke up and hurriedly turned around and ran. Mei, Zha, and Sha hurriedly followed, running wildly, wishing they had two more legs.
However, their physique and figure finally showed the gap at this moment. Scott and Mia behind them quickly passed them, flew towards the left side of the corner, and quickly disappeared from the sight of Du Di'an and the others. middle.
At this time, the other consortium scavengers behind also caught up.
"Go away, go away!!" A burly young man roared at the four of Du Di'an. After speaking, he pushed his big hand away and landed on the last Sham. With a thud, Sham was suddenly pushed to the side and fell to the side. Because of his fall, he tripped the young people who were rushing over from behind, and all of a sudden they fell on their backs, and fell four or five people to the ground.
Du Di'an heard Sham's screams, stopped quickly, looked back, and immediately saw that Sham, whose cheeks were scratched, fell to the ground, and just got up, another young man pressed his head with his hand and pressed it , and the young man took advantage of his strength to stand up and ran away quickly.
Hundreds of meters behind them, more than a dozen walking corpses chased after them with their claws and claws.
Du Dian's face was pale, his fists were clenched tightly, his heart was beating wildly, deafening, he clenched his teeth suddenly, turned around and ran to Sham, grabbed his arm, and shouted: "Get up quickly. !"
Sham hurriedly grabbed him. Du Dian drove his body, pulled him up, and immediately turned around and continued to run. At this time, the other consortium scavengers had already run in front of them, and the direction where Scott and Mia were running disappeared at the corner.
Sham looked back and saw more than a dozen bloodthirsty corpses behind him. His scalp was numb, his legs were trembling, and he almost tripped over again.
At this time, Macon and Zach also turned around and rushed over, hurriedly grabbed Sham's body and dragged him forward.

"Go to the right!" Soon, several people came to the corner, and Du Dian gritted his teeth.
The three of Macon were startled, but they didn't have time to ask more, so they could only follow Du Dian closely and ran to the right. At this moment, Du Di'an bit his palm in vain, blood oozing out, he took a big breath, grabbed a gravel on the ground, spit the blood from his mouth on it, turned back to the left side of Scott and Mia waited for the direction of the departure of the large army, and threw it away with all her might!
dong dong!
The stone fell to the ground in a parabola and rolled a few times.
At this time, they were already more than 30 meters away from the corner, and the walking corpse that was chasing behind came to the direction of the corner. As soon as they stepped out, they saw the stone flying in front of them. The next moment, the walking dead The corpse roared and chased in the direction where the stone was thrown.
Several walking corpses behind it immediately followed behind it and chased after it.
However, there was a walking corpse among them, which seemed to notice the Du Di'an people on the right, swaying and chasing after them.
Du Di'an's face changed, and he hurriedly glanced at both sides of the street, and suddenly saw that more than ten meters ahead, was the gate of a community, and there was a small shop covered with vegetation at the door, and immediately said: "Follow me!" Said, Run to this neighborhood.
As soon as I ran over, I saw a few walking corpses lying on the ground here, and the security room at the door was already corroded by moss. From the exposed glass windows, I could vaguely see a human-shaped black shadow standing inside, Du Di'an dared not dare. Look again, quickly stepped over the corpse on the ground and rushed to the nearest building. The security door at the bottom of the building was unlocked and slightly open. A corpse fell on the doorstep. Judging from the clothes, it was also a corpse. walking dead.
Du Di'an resisted the tremor in his heart, stepped on the back of the walking corpse, entered the door behind, and turned back to the three of Macon and hurriedly said, "Come in."

The three of them saw the corpse at the door, and their faces were a little pale, but they still held back their fear and jumped from it. At this time, Du Di'an saw the walking corpse that was chasing before, and he had already chased up, and behind it, there was still Followed by two walking dead.
Du Di'an's face changed, he hurriedly grabbed the door and wanted to lock it, but found that the bolt was already covered with moss and could not be locked. He immediately gave up and continued to lock. Looking back, the building was dimly lit, and there was an elevator in front of him. , At this moment, the elevator door is half-open, and it is also covered with moss and vegetation. There are several corpses lying inside, some are walking corpses, and some are human skeletons that have rotted. The bones are dark, like rusted black iron.
Du Di'an's face was ugly, and he immediately ran down the stairs and said, "Keep up."
The three of Macon quickly followed behind him.
When Du Di'an entered the building, he saw the height of the building, at least about fifteen floors. He went straight up the steps and saw seven or eight corpses of walking corpses and rotting human bones from the steps along the way. There are canine skeletons.
When they ran to the sixth floor, Du Dian was exhausted and out of breath. The same was true for the three of Macon. In fact, the previous battle with the bone-eating rat had already exhausted their physical strength. At this moment, they were completely frightened by fear. He had to flee for his life, breaking through the limit of his own physical strength.
"Roar, Roar!"
At this time, there was a hoarse roar from the bottom of the floor, which was approaching quickly, Du Dian looked down along the handrail of the stairs, and suddenly saw a few lime-grey palms grabbing the handrail and climbing along the stairs, but, climbing The speed of the climb was obviously hindered. However, seeing that they were still approaching, Du Di'an's face became more and more ugly, and he continued to climb up through gritted teeth.
Soon, Du Dian came to the twelfth floor and was so tired that he was panting. He heard the unconscious roar of the walking corpse at a distance of more than ten meters below. It was estimated that they should be about three floors away from him. , He was about to continue upward when suddenly, Sham pointed to an open room next to him and panted, "Dian, let's hide in here, they shouldn't open the door."
Du Dian was stunned, and immediately reacted, saying, "Go in." He took the lead in getting in.
The three of Macon immediately followed, and Du Di'an locked the door with his backhand. Due to the high floor, the moss and vegetation did not climb up, and the latch was easily locked. Du Di'an twisted the latch, locked it, and then quickly turned back and swept away. When I glanced at this family, I saw that the living room was extremely scattered. There was a rotting corpse lying on the ground, and there was a baby carriage next to it, and there was a baby corpse lying in it.
Du Dian immediately said: "Move the sofa inside, block the door, and move lightly."
"Sofa?" Some of Macon didn't understand, but when they saw the direction of Du Dian's fingers, they still understood what he was talking about. They ran over immediately. The three lifted the sofa, quickly moved to the door, and put it down gently. Arrive at the door.
At this time, the dry roar outside the door became clearer and clearer, and Du Dian hurriedly made a silent gesture, stood on the sofa, and looked out the door through the cat's eyes.
The cat-eye lenses were extremely cloudy, and Du Di'an immediately saw a few vague figures that appeared from outside the door. It was the previous walking corpses. These three walking corpses seemed to climb the stairs and climb out of their inertia, and continued to climb up the stairs.
Du Di'an breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still beating, and he was only a door away from this bloodthirsty monster. He felt that the world seemed to stand still, only the strong heartbeat echoed in his ears.
"Roar!!"
In vain, the door was slammed, and a hoarse voice roared out from the door, full of anger and hideousness.

Wildling
Blurb: Silas--a scavenger living off the ruins of humanity--has spent his entire life fighting tooth and nail to provide for himself and his crew. But when a scavenging run goes awry and he's snatched up by an android patrol, he finds himself thrown into a cage and priced to sell as a pet. And when a suitor comes calling, he fears the worst: that he'll be turned into a Domestic, a human lapdog brainwashed into total obedience. Instead, he discovers an equally disturbing truth: that the creatures who stole his world have created a videogame the likes of which Earth has never seen; a sprawling, game-like theme park where humans are the Avatars and androids are the players who control them. And to make matters worse, his android guide is as hopeless as they come, having gotten all of her previous Avatars killed in record time. So if Silas wants to regain his freedom, he'll not only have to fight his way through a world that was specifically designed to murder him in brutal fashion--he'll also have to convince his android guide that he should be the one calling the shots. FAQS: Q: Who are you, handsome stranger? A: I'm Kyle Kirrin, the author of Shadeslinger, book 1 of The Ripple System, published by Portal Books, and I write crunchy LitRPG. Q: What is Wildling? And is it complete? A: Wildling is a crunchy LitRPG mash up of Fantasy and Science Fiction. And yup, Wildling is already complete at 64 chapters, or about 120,000 thousand words. You're looking at something like a third draft here--it's fairly polished, but it hasn't been picked over by a copy editor yet nor has my developmental editor seen it. Q: Upload schedule? A: 5 initial chapters today (2/15/2021) and one chapter a day for the next month. After that I'll probably slow down to 2 or 3 chapters a week until the story is complete. Q: How crunchy is it? A: It's pretty crunchy. I'd put it on the same tier as Ascend/The Land/RSSG, but it might be a bit crunchier than those three? Q: Is this the first book in a series or a web novel or what? And what are your plans for it? A: It's currently a standalone with series potential. Full disclosure: this story may head the way of my publisher eventually, but will be available on RR for quite a while no matter what. Likely several months after it's complete with plenty of warning before/if it's taken down. Q: What kind of build does the MC create? A: Sword and board! Q: Crafting? A: Plenty! Crafting isn't as center stage as it is in The Way of the Shaman, but it's close. Q: Base building? A: Two fully separate, distinct bases, both of which play a major role in the story. Q: VRMMO? Portal? Reincarnation or what? A: This one's a bit tricky. Basically an advanced race has created a game-like world that closely resembles a theme park. Think Westworld but with copious amounts of loot. And the MC has to fight his way through that to earn his freedom. Q: Permadeath? A: Nope! The MC gets 3 lives to play through the entirety of the game world, and death is extremely punishing, but not fatal. Q: Harem? Or romance? A: No and no. Q: Cursing? Blood? A: Quite a bit of cursing, yeah. There's blood, too, but it's not a gory book by any means. Q: How can I support? A: Instead of a Patreon/donations etc, I'd ask that you consider giving my debut LitRPG Shadeslinger a chance. It's free on Kindle Unlimited and the audio is already out narrated by Travis Baldree. It's an epic fantasy VRMMO where the main character gets 3 days of exclusive access to a new game plus a snarky, talking axe to guide him through it in exchange for agreeing to become the target of a serverwide manhunt once the Head Start period ends. Q: How's it similar to Wildling? And how's it different? A. The crunch level is very similar, but Shadeslinger is a much lighter, epic fantasy take on the genre. It's also VRMMO, but without any real world components aside from the first chapter. The MC is very different--he comes off as a bit of a jerk early on and can take a bit to warm up to, especially before his backstory is revealed--but he's also got a talking axe that constantly puts him in his place. Shadeslinger's a much more humorous story in general, and it's a great deal more polished as well. Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoy Wildling!
