The atmosphere was thick with unease as many teams worried about their scores. Some even considered hunting advanced zombies together. The simple solution to this problem was for Jason Williams to give other teams the opportunity to kill advanced zombies, ensuring their help in luring them. This would involve Jason weakening the zombies, allowing lower-ranked teams to deliver the final blow.

  Initially, that was Jason's plan. However, Sonny Zendt presented an alternative method using the mutated queen bee, eliminating the need to assist other teams.

  A middle-aged man in the crowd asked with frustration, "Jason Williams, we want to help you lure zombies, but we can't watch our rankings plummet. Do you have a solution?"

  Many astute individuals knew that Jason offering the chance to kill advanced zombies would resolve the issue, but no one dared to suggest it. They were waiting for Jason to propose it himself so they could grudgingly help him. The middle-aged man aimed to coax Jason into suggesting it.

  Instantly, all eyes were on Jason. If he offered the opportunity to kill advanced zombies, he would be met with praise and support.

  But Jason smirked, noticing the anticipation on many faces, which didn't match their supposed fear of dropping in the rankings. He knew exactly what they were thinking. They had cast him as the righteous, responsible, and idiotic protagonist.

  So, Jason decided to play with them, returning the longsword to Frank Lawson. "I don't have a solution. Just kill zombies to increase your scores. When there are only twenty teams left on the leaderboard, we'll unite to kill advanced zombies."

  Jason's words caused many faces to fall. Someone exclaimed anxiously, "That won't work! If we don't kill all the advanced zombies in one day, teams will be wiped out at night..."

  Discontented murmurs spread among the crowd. No one expected Jason to abandon his responsibilities.

  A burly man wielding a giant axe spoke up, "If that's the case, we'll try hunting advanced zombies ourselves. We'll team up when there are only twenty left."

  This burly man, whose vehicle had a berserk ability, had already arranged with several teams to hunt advanced zombies. Jason's statement gave them the perfect excuse to leave. He led a group of twenty people from six teams out of the park.

  Suddenly, the park was half-empty, with only twenty or thirty people remaining. Some, like Sonny Zendt's two disciples, were killing ordinary zombies nearby.

  The middle-aged man who had questioned Jason earlier was filled with regret, forcing himself to say, "Jason Williams, I have a solution that can fix the current problem."

  A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

  Jason scrutinized the man, already anticipating what he was about to say. He feigned ignorance, asking, "What is it? Let's hear it."

  Everyone focused on the middle-aged man. He proclaimed righteously, "Every advanced zombie we kill increases our chances of survival, so Jason Williams, you can't give up killing them!"

  Frank Lawson nodded enthusiastically, agreeing with the man's statement. However, he couldn't understand why the man, who had complained the loudest about luring zombies for Jason, was now supporting Jason's hunt for advanced zombies.

  The middle-aged man continued, "Jason Williams, your score is already over ten thousand. You don't need to worry about your ranking. Why don't you give us the chance to kill advanced zombies? That way, we can improve our rankings, and you won't lose anything..."

  Ellie, who had been standing behind Jason, couldn't take it anymore, interrupting the man. "Dude, stop, stop! I'm about to throw up. You just want Jason to kill advanced zombies for you, and you're trying to convince him it's for the greater good. Shameless!"

  Ellie's bluntness made the man's face turn ugly. "You..." The man wanted to retort, but he remembered how Jason had dealt with David Lee and his cronies for his woman. If he disrespected Ellie, Jason would show him the terrifying power of the number one ranked player.

  Jason scoffed, "My woman can see through your petty schemes. Do you really think I'm an idiot?"

  Frank Lawson awkwardly rubbed his nose, vowing never to admit that he was the idiot.

  The middle-aged man took a deep breath and bid farewell to Jason. "Jason Williams, if you don't think my idea is viable, then I must take my leave."

  The middle-aged man turned and led his followers away. After exchanging glances, the remaining teams bid farewell to Jason and departed as well.

  Only Frank Lawson and Sonny Zendt remained. "Jason, I'll be leaving as well." Sonny Zendt bid farewell to Jason and left.

  Sonny Zendt knew that Jason would use the mutated queen bee to kill advanced zombies, so he wasn't worried. All he needed to do was maintain his top ten ranking to receive rewards after the dungeon ended.

  Finally, Frank Lawson also left. Although he had many questions, he wasn't too concerned. This was the confidence that came with being ranked second.

  After everyone had left, Jason and his companions left the park as well. It was time to hunt advanced zombies.

  In the following period, everyone was shocked when they saw the leaderboard. Ellie, who had been ranked thirtieth, started gaining points rapidly, adding a thousand points every so often. She quickly surpassed Joseph in third place, then easily overtook Frank Lawson in second. As for Jason Williams, with his ten thousand points at the top, he was also surpassed by Ellie, dropping to second place.

  As the day neared its end, Ellie's score had reached over ninety thousand. Everyone was dumbfounded by the leaderboard. At this time, only one advanced zombie remained in the city.

  Throughout the day, Ellie had used the mutated queen bee to eliminate over ninety advanced zombies. As large numbers of advanced zombies died, the ordinary zombies were freed and scattered in all corners of the city.

  No one dared to go outside anymore, preferring to hide inside buildings and watch the leaderboard.

  Inside a building, a burly man holding a giant axe watched the leaderboard, his lips twitching.

  After they left Jason, they wanted to hunt advanced zombies, but the group of twenty could not find a single advanced zombie. They were forced to hide in the building by a group of ordinary zombies. All because of Ellie.

  How could she be so messed up? The burly man sat on the ground in despair, wondering who Ellie was.
