God-Level Game Developer System: I Brought In-Game Items To Real World - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Kayden: See You Later, Ayame!
“…I might not survive this.”

Panting exhaustedly, Kodokuna Kenshi glared at the SS-rank zombie in front of him.

In that SS-rank zombie’s right hand were Kenshi’s two arms.

Kodokuna Kenshi had lost both of his arms and he could no longer hold his sword. Blood also clouded both of his eyes and he could barely see anything.

His current situation looked grim. Not only could barely see anything, but he also couldn’t use his sword since his arms were severed from his body. His viral energy was also depleted and he couldn’t use his wind manipulation to attack the SS-rank zombie.

On the other hand, the SS-rank zombie arrogantly looked down on Kenshi’s pathetic state and sneered, “For a human, you are quite strong, but still not as strong as me.”

As if to mock Kenshi, the SS-rank zombie ate both of Kenshi’s arms as if it were eating fried chicken legs. After eating Kenshi’s arm, it spits out two arm bones from its mouth which shot at Kenshi.

The two arm bones shot at rapid speed and it penetrated Kenshi’s chest and abdomen, causing him to bleed and die.

But before he was about to die, Kodokuna Kenshi summoned the player status screen and checked the number of players.

[Surviving Players: 3/1000]

Kenshi could barely see anything so he didn’t check his stats and focused all his attention on the surviving player count.

After seeing that he was one of the top three surviving players, Kenshi breathed a sigh of relief. “At least I won’t die in this death game.”

“Sigh, it’s a pity that I didn’t survive long enough to become the top 1 player.”

Eventually, Kenshi lost a lot of blood after his body was perforated and his heart and other internal organs were pierced, causing his death.

…

[Surviving Players: 2/1000]

After Kenshi’s death, Ayame and Kayden who paid attention to the surviving player count breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them did their best to survive long enough but their current situation wasn’t looking that optimistic.

Winston’s corpse lay beside Kayden as Kayden was doing his best to protect it and prevent those zombies from eating it. Winston had died to protect Kayden from one of those evolved zombies’ sneak attacks.

On the other hand, blood was all over Ayame’s body and she had already lost her right arm.

Fortunately, Ayame was ambidextrous—capable of using both of her hands. Because of that, she still managed to fight against the SS-rank zombie with her left hand.

However, no matter how good Ayame’s superpower was and no matter how lucky Ayame became due to Kayden’s superpower, she couldn’t get any advantage against the SS-rank zombie.

The gap between her and the SS-rank zombie was so big that even luck couldn’t bridge such a huge gap!

“Fuck! This is impossible! I feel like the game developer never planned to let the players beat SS-rank zombies. They must have been designed to eliminate us players to end the game.”

Hearing Ayame’s cursing, Kayden sighed, “Nothing we can do about it. We have already completed a decent amount of side tasks during the past month so even if we die now, we should be able to obtain high-quality rewards.”

Kayden took out an A-grade knife from his S-grade space storage bracelet and told Ayame, “The only problem left is which of the two of us takes the first place.”

Hearing Kayden’s words, Ayame became vigilant and she was slightly hesitating whether to kill Kayden before Kayden could attack her with the A-grade knife.

After all, she had spent time with Winston and Kayden so she knew what the power of the A-grade knife.

The A-grade knife was a special event item obtained from a special event NPC. It was called “Lethal Poison Knife” and it had potent poison coated on it that could poison and kill any living being instantly.

Even S-rank zombies would die from the A-grade lethal poison knife’s poison. However, it can only be used three times before the potent poison wears off and the knife becomes an ordinary poisonous knife.

Kayden had only used this knife twice and it still could be used once more.

Even Ayame felt threatened when Kayden took out that knife since Kayden’s superpower was quite tricky to deal with.

‘I might be the one with the highest attack power in our team, but even I can’t guarantee that I can defeat Kayden. With Kayden’s luck manipulation, the world will be on his side and the world will try to thwart my attempts to harm Kayden.’

‘With Kayden’s power, he can barely harm me but with the A-grade lethal poison knife, it’s another story. If he throws this knife at me, my space manipulation might malfunction due to some unforeseen and unknown reason and I wouldn’t be able to defend from it.’

With the world on Kayden’s side, Ayame was wary and vigilant of Kayden’s next course of action.

Ayame no longer cared about the SS-rank zombie since she knew that she and Kayden couldn’t defeat it. Compared to the SS-rank zombie, Ayame was more wary of Kayden.

The SS-rank zombie seemed to see Ayame’s loss of interest in fighting it and it was offended.

“Die! Human!”

Since Ayame dared to ignore it, the SS-rank zombie no longer held back and attacked Ayame at full power!

The space had distorted due to the sheer power of the SS-rank zombie’s fist, making it more difficult for Ayame to use teleportation since the space coordinates were in disarray.

Seeing Ayame’s situation, Kayden smiled and said, “See you later, Ayame!”

That was the last thing that Ayame heard before her vision blacked out and she was killed by the SS-rank zombie!

…

Ayame noticed that she was brought back to the game lobby. However, there wasn’t anyone here aside from her.

-Ding!

[Congratulations, Player Shiro Ayame!]

[You survived the longest in Zombie Survival Online’s Server 1 and became the Top 1 player!]

When she heard the game AI’s voice and read the text on the game screens in front of her, Ayame was confused, “How?”
