Chapter 4: Sound Wave Vibration Gun

Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Sound Wave Vibration Gun

As it was created using her Scavenger Skill, Seraphina Sullivan immediately understood the item’s principles and abilities.

[Sound Wave Vibration Gun]

[Effect: Can release three modes of sound waves.]

[Mode One: High Frequency Interference: Targets all living creatures by emitting high-frequency sound waves. The more sensitive the hearing, the greater the damage.]

[Mode Two: Low Frequency Oscillation: A short-range shock wave that can knock back small targets.]

[Mode Three: Sound Wave Detection: Can emit ultrasonic waves to detect nearby life forms. Detection range is a 300-meter radius.]

[Note: Attacks consume a large amount of Energy. Please recharge or replace the battery after use.]

"This... this is practically a god-tier item!" Seraphina Sullivan’s eyes widened, her fingers trembling slightly.

She had only expected to cobble together a simple noise generator, but she never imagined [Waste Transformation] would directly create a multifunctional sound wave weapon!

Although the first mode, [High Frequency Interference], targeted all living creatures—meaning it was an indiscriminate attack—Seraphina Sullivan also saw a pair of headphone-like earmuffs that had been created along with the Sound Wave Vibration Gun. As long as she wore them, she would be immune to its effects.

"Haha, with this, I finally have a way to protect myself in this instance."

Seraphina Sullivan quickly put on the special anti-interference earmuffs. The corners of her mouth lifted into a slight smile. "Now, I can use High Frequency Interference without any reservations!"

’With this gear, I’m finally not some helpless rookie waiting to be slaughtered...’

But Seraphina Sullivan knew this advantage was only temporary.

The number of Aberrations was endless, but the Sound Wave Vibration Gun’s energy was limited. It had to be used with caution.

’The top priority is to find a safe hiding place!’

She had already stockpiled a good amount of food and water, but she hadn’t finished scavenging for medical supplies.

Seraphina Sullivan quickly scanned the pharmacy, stuffing essentials like antibiotics, painkillers, rubbing alcohol, and bandages into her [Scavenging Backpack].

’In a survival game, resources are king!’

Suddenly, she remembered the Sound Wave Vibration Gun’s third mode—"Sound Wave Detection."

’Perfect time to test this function!’

She turned the knob to the third setting, then aimed it down the hallway like a gun and pulled the trigger—

VMMMM—

An invisible ultrasonic wave spread out. The next second, a translucent holographic display popped out from the side of the gun, showing several red dots of light.

’The red dots represent life forms!’

Seraphina Sullivan observed them carefully:

’A stationary red dot: could be a hiding human or an unconscious survivor.’

’A fast-moving red dot: extremely high speed, erratic trajectory—definitely an Aberration!’

’As expected, this function is even more useful than radar!’

She immediately changed her route, avoiding the fast-moving red dot and sneaking deeper into the hospital.

Suddenly, a red marker began flashing on the edge of the display, also moving rapidly in her direction.

’Hmm? What’s this? Its movement speed isn’t as fast as an Aberration’s, but it’s still very quick.’

Seraphina Sullivan frowned, examining it closely.

’Could it be... a Player?’

She hesitated for a second before deciding to take a detour.

In an apocalypse instance, curiosity was often a death sentence.

Especially when it came to Players who could be friend or foe.

Now, Seraphina Sullivan’s objectives were clear.

1. Avoid combat, using Sound Wave Detection to evade danger in advance.

2. Survive for seven days to complete the survival mission.

3. Collect as many supplies as possible.

"Play it safe, don’t get cocky," Seraphina Sullivan took a deep breath, tightened her grip on the Vibration Gun, and set off.

Seraphina wanted to stay as far away from other living people as possible. It was only the first day of the [Alien Apocalypse] instance, and there were still six days to go. Encountering people meant potentially running into trouble.

She wasn’t some noble hero. What if she ran into someone calling for help? Should she save them or not?

Although she had a shred of kindness in her heart, she only had one life. If she died in the instance, she would die for real. ’As long as I don’t meet anyone,’ Seraphina thought, ’I won’t have to face such a difficult choice.’

However, the more you try to avoid something, the more likely you are to encounter it.

Seraphina saw two red dots on the display rushing toward her.

Seraphina wanted to hide, but they followed her as if they had locked onto her position.

’Something’s wrong... How are they able to track me so precisely?’

She tried changing her route, ducking into other hospital corridors and even deliberately heading in the direction of an Aberration, but the two red dots remained in hot pursuit, getting closer and closer.

’Players? Or survivors with some kind of Special Ability?’

Either way, it wasn’t good.

In an apocalypse instance, your own kind could sometimes be more dangerous than the monsters.

’Can’t shake them!’

Seraphina’s guard went up. Since she couldn’t escape, she decided to stop hiding. Instead, she quickly adjusted the Sound Wave Vibration Gun’s mode, switching to Low Frequency Oscillation so she could attack immediately if there was danger.

At the same time, she retreated to a safe position, ensuring she couldn’t be attacked from both the front and back.

A few seconds later, two figures appeared in Seraphina’s line of sight.

"Hello, we’re Players too!"

A young girl looked thrilled to see Seraphina, but she didn’t dare to speak loudly, her voice cautious.

As they got closer, Seraphina saw a young man and woman. The man wore a pair of distinctive silver glasses and held a fire axe, while the woman carried a stuffed hiking backpack, her expression wary.

Seraphina didn’t relax. She aimed the Sound Wave Vibration Gun at the two of them and warned in a low voice, "Stop! Don’t come any closer."

However, when the man with the glasses saw the unique Sound Wave Vibration Gun in Seraphina’s hands, his eyes lit up.

A flicker of imperceptible greed flashed in his eyes.

The man with the glasses immediately raised his hands and said quietly, "Don’t worry! We’re not enemies!"

Seraphina immediately activated [Eye of Resume] and quickly scanned the two of them—

[Name: Fawn Lynn]

[Gender: Female]

[Professional Skills: Talent·Perception: Can perceive any living creature within a one-hundred-meter radius!]

[Weaknesses: Acrophobia]

[Note: One of the Players randomly selected by the system for the survival game.]

[Name: Moe Chandler]

[Gender: Male]

[Professional Skills: Talent·Future Items: Can randomly acquire one item per day from a pool of 444,444,444 future items. The item’s abilities vary.]

[Weaknesses: Claustrophobia]

[Note: Player, has signed a temporary team contract.]

Seeing Fawn Lynn’s Talent, Seraphina finally understood why they could follow her wherever she went. It was because of this girl’s Talent.

The other one, Moe Chandler’s Talent, made Seraphina even more curious.

’He gets one future item every day. If this guy can just survive long enough, he could use this Talent to arm himself to the teeth. The longer he lives, the stronger he’ll become.’

If he managed to get some powerful items, he could easily clear the [Alien Apocalypse] instance.

Seraphina wondered what future item he had gotten on his first day, and her gaze fell on him.
