The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

Clouds drift by.

Flowers bloom in abundance.

Time passes by in leisure.

After the first match, everyone rested for three more days.

Then, the second match arrived as scheduled.

The Hundred Cities League, as the name suggests, is a competition for awakened high school students from at least one hundred cities.

Now, only a mere one hundred people remain to advance to the second round, making the elimination process quite brutal.

Those who made it to the second round didn't dare to be careless either, because from the second round to the third round, another 90% would be eliminated.

To be honest, the bonus is really hard to get.

At least for Ningdu, it seems much more difficult than shooting GG.

His daytime rice cooker GG has now become a hit across the country, and it has also helped boost the ratings of the competition.

Nowadays, everyone knows that the Hundred Cities League has produced a rice cooker that can cook rice by itself.

No electricity needed, no rice needed, and it can even grow bigger! The housewife next door is so envious!

The second event will also take place on the 888th floor plaza of the Guardian Tower.

The spatial rift leading to the zombie world has opened.

Inside the studio, the hosts were still Zhen Hong and Bai Xiao.

Despite the recent damage to Bai Xiao's reputation, her popularity has skyrocketed.

As an expert who is repeatedly proven wrong but refuses to leave.

Bai Xiao fully demonstrated the spirit of "fighting on despite repeated defeats".

What's the harm in taking back what you've said?

This is called "flexible and adaptable".

So what if the boar warrior pins me to the ground?

This is called "keeping one's promise".

As netizens put it, "There aren't many experts these days who are so shameless; cherish them!"

"Welcome back to the Hundred Cities League. I'm your host, Zhen Hong. Next to me is our familiar expert, Bai Xiao. Hello, Expert Bai, the second match is about to begin. Do you have any news to share with everyone?"

Bai Xiao changed into a new tuxedo, his hair was combed until it was shiny, and he grinned when he heard this.

"I do have the information, but I can't say it now, lest it affect everyone's viewing experience. All I can reveal is that the second match will be even more brutal than the first, but it will definitely be more interesting. Therefore, I strongly urge the organizers to enable an off-site hotline and to conduct interviews with audience members at any time. I believe this will bring everyone a much better viewing experience!"

"Wow, White Expert, are you doing all this to distribute the blame? To avoid being singled out for criticism like in the first match, where you made a mistake. Are you planning to find even more people to help you share the burden this time?"

Zhen Hong mercilessly exposed Bai Xiao's thoughts.

Bai Xiao remained completely unfazed; how could he possibly break down his defenses? How ridiculous!

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. This is a chance for the audience to speak. Don't just blurt out every truth. Okay, I see the contestants are mostly here. The second match is about to begin, let's wait and see!"

The scene shifts.

They immediately focused on Ning Du and his group.

There's no way around it, Ning Du is currently the focus of viewership, everyone is waiting to see what tricks he can pull off in the second match.

Even Mr. Zhao, who sells rice cookers, told Ningdu to switch to more home appliances so that they could cooperate more in the future.

Ning Du nodded repeatedly; he wanted to as well. Unfortunately, it wasn't something he could simply decide to do.

Once all the contestants had arrived, Xiao Bo and his group were standing next to Ning Du and the others.

The two sides exchanged a smile, and Xiao Bo and the others were also full of confidence.

Clearly, they had obtained the information in advance!

"All players, get ready. The second match is here, and again, no personal belongings are allowed. Good luck in the zombie world!"

Upon hearing the word "zombie world," a commotion erupted behind me.

Ning Du didn't react much at first, but after Bing Xiaomei pinched him, Ning Du realized that he had to pretend, otherwise it wouldn't be good if people saw through him.

"Oh dear... a zombie world, how terrifying!"

"I'm most afraid of zombies."

After calling out twice, the little bird flew over again to retrieve Ning Du's personal belongings, and then the guardians in front actually started waving at Ning Du.

At the same time, the loudspeaker sounded again.

"Entering the zombie world now is based on ranking, one person enters every ten minutes!"

Ning Du then realized that he was actually the first one to enter the zombie world.

It seems having a high ranking in the first round has its advantages. Entering early gives you a head start.

A quick calculation shows that the first place finisher was more than 16 hours ahead of the last place finisher.

Yes, yes!

Ning Du walked up to the spatial rift, wanting to ask a few more questions.

"Can we bring anything from that zombie world out? Just how big is the zombie world? Why aren't you all talking? Are you all mute? Even the Guardians have disabled members!"

A guardian grabbed Ningdu by the back and pushed him inside.

Enough with the nonsense, go figure it out yourself!

what! ! !

Once inside, the world spins around you again.

Ning Du felt like a pile of trash, thrown out by a spatial rift, and landed on the ground with a thud.

Looking around, I realized I was on a rooftop.

There was also a dilapidated tent nearby, and words carved into the ground with a knife.

"Zombie world, mission objective: find the X virus origin. Hint: Zombies can be killed; the zombies in this world are no longer worth saving. Beware of the zombie virus; you are not immune to it."

That's it!

After reading the words, Ning Du was completely dumbfounded.

Isn't this hint a bit too hasty? It doesn't even say where the mission objective is.

It's not even as good as the information they got in advance, at least the information tells you that there are only ten copies of the X virus prototype!

Fortunately, Ning Du and his team had already gone through a "meticulous" brainstorming session beforehand and had roughly figured out what to do.

Since it is a viral pathogen, it is most likely hidden in a laboratory.

First, we need to find out which laboratories are nearby, and then determine which one is more likely.

Next, we analyzed the zombies' activity patterns. Some zombies are afraid of sunlight, some are attracted by smells, and some are said to be immune to meningitis or something similar.

This is simply a godsend for "brain-dead" people!

Ning Du thought that if his good deskmate, Fatty Wang, came, he would probably be able to walk sideways.

Let's analyze which type of zombie it is first.

Reaching the edge of the building, Ningdu looked down to take a look at the world.

Upon seeing this, Ning Du's eyes widened in surprise.

The streets were teeming with zombies, like a bustling market; even a supermarket giving away free eggs couldn't attract this many people.

They moved with the force of a black ocean, stretching to the horizon.

Among the zombies, there were clearly mutated zombies.

It has a very large head and very long claws.

Ningdu even saw some zombies climbing around on the high-rise buildings as if they were walking on flat ground.

In the farthest distance, there was a zombie as tall as a building with its back to Ningdu.

At first, Ningdu thought it was an ugly building.

Surprisingly, it slowly turned around!

A distorted, large face looked at Ning Du and he immediately swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Ugly, so ugly!

Wow, really strong!

Unable to contain himself, Ning Du remarked, "She looks just like Wang Li's cousin!"
