OKSTS Chapter 69

**Chapter 69: The Return! Martial God Academy’s Anticipation!**

Renjia Town.

Today.

It was the final day of the mission time.

In just a few hours, the mission would be over. At this point, all the students with basic-level missions could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if a zombie were to show up now, it wouldn’t cause much trouble.

The successful completion of their missions was practically guaranteed!

At this moment.

Many students gathered together, chatting…

“It’s strange, isn’t it? A whole month has gone by, and we didn’t see a single zombie! Could the instructors have been mistaken?”

“Are you dumb? There were zombies, but they were stolen!”

“Yeah, a month ago, the Ren family issued a bounty, saying Old Master Ren’s corpse was stolen. According to our instructors, Old Master Ren was the initial zombie for this mission!”

“Whoever took that zombie really did us a huge favor!”

“It’s a shame, though; the reward for this basic mission is kind of small.”

“Considering how smoothly we got through it, we should be grateful. You’re really complaining about the reward?”

“By the way, the reward for this mission is based on individual performance. Since the zombie got stolen, I guess all of us will be rated the same?”

“Haha, all those show-offs from Martial God Academy are probably losing their minds.”

“Either way, I’m just glad we’re done here. We can finally leave this haunted place.”

“Yeah! Living without internet and phones is rough, and on top of that, I had to work for the Ren family just to afford food…”

“Haha, that’s tough!”

“Laugh at me, will you? Last I saw, you were scrubbing pants in the laundry!”

“Oh, come on, man, I messed up, please don’t say anything…”

Most of the students were overjoyed at how smoothly the mission had gone.

Of course, there were always a few who were less than thrilled.

The students from Martial God Academy, for instance, were feeling pretty dejected.

They had been waiting for zombies to appear so they could lead the charge and show everyone what they were made of. But…

The entire mission went by without a single zombie in sight.

All their plans and preparations had gone to waste.

And most importantly—

Without any performance to show, they’d be rated the same as everyone else with a low mission evaluation…

They were the elite, the best of the best from Martial God Academy, the top students in the country. How could they end up rated alongside students with no talent?

“The ones who stole the zombie must’ve been Lu Feng’s group, right?”

“Yeah, I heard they had a plan: they were going to use the initial zombie to infect more people, then kill those newly turned zombies to boost their mission evaluation.”

“Jeez… That plan is ruthless.”

“Why does it matter? After we leave, everything in Forbidden Zone 3 resets to its original state anyway.”

“They can have their plan, but it’s messed up to take all the zombies and not even leave one for the rest of us! Didn’t they think about their classmates?”

“Exactly, they just vanished with the zombie. It’s ridiculous! I’m going to report them back at school. Selfish people like that only hurt everyone’s chances!”

“Are you sure? I heard Zhao Fusheng was with them too.”

“Oh… isn’t he just a musclehead? I’m not afraid of him!”

“Zhao Fusheng is more than that. He’s the most perfectly compatible Hero Bonded; he’s at a 100% compatibility rate. His future is limitless, even the principal wants to take him on as a personal disciple!”

“All right, fine! I’ll let it go this time…”

A group of Martial God Academy students continued to murmur among themselves.

Just then.

Someone ran up with a newspaper in hand.

“Holy crap! You’ve gotta see this! The entire island nation has fallen—it’s overrun with zombies…”

Everyone was stunned, quickly grabbing the paper to read.

The newspaper, dated yesterday, had been brought in from the provincial capital.

The article left them speechless.

An entire country overtaken by zombies, transformed into a haven for the undead. It was terrifying…

…please show your support…

“Wait, you think Lu Feng’s group did this?”

“This is on a whole other level! Weren’t they afraid of losing control?”

“Those maniacs—if they survived, who knows how many zombies they killed?”

“I still can’t believe they had the guts to go this far! One wrong step, and it could all go south.”

“Mission time is almost up. When we’re back, we’ll know how they scored.”

When noon struck.

All the students vanished from where they stood.

In the pure white interdimensional space.

Su Ziqiu was receiving her rewards from Forbidden Zone 3.

“Congratulations! Your outstanding performance within the mission timeframe resulted in the elimination of 275,951 zombies, earning you the highest mission evaluation…”

“…You’ve received 150 freely distributable attribute points!”

Hearing the notification, a smile spread across Su Ziqiu’s face.

150 free attribute points!

For someone like Su Ziqiu, it was a massive windfall!

In her mind, she couldn’t help but picture Fang Ye’s calm, composed face.

Without his invitation, she never would’ve earned such a bountiful reward.

150 attribute points.

Enough to boost her strength significantly!

Thinking of Fang Ye, a genuine smile touched Su Ziqiu’s lips…

Inside Forbidden Zone 3.

A month had passed.

But in the real world, only an hour had gone by.

Now.

At the entrance to Forbidden Zone 3.

Teachers from each academy were gathered in the waiting area.

Wang Liang, Martial God Academy’s lead instructor, cast a quick glance at Yan Tai across the room, a barely concealed smirk flickering across his face.

Just imagining Yan Tai’s reaction when his top two students didn’t return filled him with anticipation. Wang Liang could hardly wait…
