Chapter 167: Video

Although Waldo had mostly cleared the nearby zombies, more zombies were attracted from farther away. Upon seeing Helen’s reminder, Waldo was confident and dismissive, saying, "Don’t worry, I’ve got this. No matter how many zombies come, it won’t matter. There’s nothing that can’t be solved with a blast. And if needed, I’ll use two blasts!"

After a moment of contemplation, Waldo added, "Besides, I’ve got plenty of ammunition. It’s a perfect opportunity to practice my skills on these zombies. The synergy between a person and a tank takes some time to develop, after all."

Waldo was oozing confidence; he wasn’t afraid of any number of zombies. It was a great chance to hone his abilities.

With that, the tank charged forward, unstoppable, obliterating zombies with each blast. Waldo fired round after round, eliminating the nearby zombies. The tank’s path was relentless, and the zombies couldn’t put up any resistance.

As they advanced, they noticed fewer zombies, and Waldo’s firing frequency decreased accordingly. It seemed that he had effectively cleared the path.

Before long, the three of them had returned to the villa area. Waldo couldn’t help but smile and boast, "See, this is the power of a tank, an absolute zombie-slaying weapon!"

Alanna and Helen also got out of the tank. They looked at the tank with joy in their eyes. They had witnessed the tank’s power as it decimated the zombies, even clearing entire areas of them. There was no doubt that the tank was an unparalleled weapon.

After their exhausting day of fighting, it was time for rest. Waldo encouraged the two women to go to sleep.

"Let’s go, inside. We’ve had a long day, and we can rest now," Waldo urged them.

Alanna and Helen exchanged glances and responded in unison, "You go ahead and sleep. Once you’re asleep, we’ll follow."

Waldo was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly realized their intentions and chuckled. "What do you take me for? Alright, I’ll go to sleep first. You both should follow soon."

With that, he entered his room. After a while, the two women finished their baths. Their youthful bodies, wrapped in thin pajamas, radiated energy.

They sat in the living room for a while, seemingly waiting for Waldo to fall asleep before returning to their own room.

However, as they opened the door to their room, they were met with a smiling face. Startled, they let out a scream before being swept into the room by Waldo.

What followed was another passionate session. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Since reaching level thirty, Waldo had discovered that he seemed to have endless energy. Previously, one of the two women could satisfy him, but now it took both to truly satiate him.

After two hours of intense activity, they were all left breathless and sweaty. They were physically drained, especially after a day of continuous battles.

Alanna suddenly mentioned, "Waldo, take a look at the chat channel. Someone has posted a video of us driving the tank, and many people are commenting!"

Waldo was surprised and quickly accessed the chat channel.

In fact, someone had uploaded a video of them in the tank during their battle. The video had been posted since the beginning of their battle.

The uploader was one of the three survivors they had encountered near the munitions depot. The video quickly gained attention.

It all began with a simple question: "Hey guys, I have a question for you. If you could choose anything, what would you pick?"

This question had attracted the attention of many survivors, and they began discussing their preferences. In peacetime, the answers might have been money or material possessions, but in this post-apocalyptic world, the responses were diverse.

Some wanted powerful weapons and equipment, while others desired an endless supply of food. Some longed for a safe and comfortable shelter, and there were even those who jokingly said they wanted attractive partners.

Then someone remarked, "You guys are just daydreaming here. Especially that guy above who wants a tank, what are you going to do with it? Eat it?"

This comment led to a heated exchange, with insults and sarcastic remarks flying around.

However, someone unexpectedly declared, "I’m not looking down on you. In fact, I just saw a real tank today, a true Land King tank!"

This statement was met with skepticism, and people continued to mock the claim.

Undeterred, the person responded, "Don’t believe me? Well, watch this video we recorded this afternoon. It should shut your mouths!"

Following this message, a short video appeared in the chat channel.

In the footage, there was an extremely impressive behemoth! This was a main battle tank, racing down the road. The tremendous noise it generated could be heard clearly, even through the screen, conveying the sheer power of this machine. Behind the tank, a large number of zombies were in pursuit.

Boom! A cannon shot, annihilating a large number of zombies!

I can’t believe it, it’s really a tank!

No way, is this video real? It can’t be fake, right?

It’s a video from the system, how could it be fake? The content in the video should be real!

The comments section was filled with astonishment. No one had expected to see an actual tank in the midst of this discussion. The allure of having a tank was immense. Owning one practically made you invincible. It was practically unstoppable when dealing with zombies!

Before this, nobody believed that anyone had a tank. After all, these heavy weapons were incredibly rare and hard to come by. But now, they were being told that someone had not only acquired a tank but had also used it to obliterate zombies. This revelation shocked countless people and left many feeling discouraged.

At this moment, in an survivor camp in the East City, Brigham grinned. He saw that many people were starting to send him private messages, inquiring about the video’s location and the authenticity of its content. Some even asked if there were more videos.

Brigham knew that his plan had worked. The content of the video was, of course, real. It was a video taken at great personal risk. He knew that this information about the tank had piqued the interest of many survivors and could potentially reveal valuable intelligence about its owner.

If possible, they hoped to discover the identity of the tank’s owner. The allure of the tank was too great.

As Brigham’s message spread, more and more survivors joined the discussion about the tank. Various descriptions and speculations about the tank’s capabilities were shared, and the topic gained even more attention.

People began contacting Brigham to see the complete video. Brigham had anticipated this and discussed it with his companions. Using videos to earn experience points was a strategy they had considered before. To the survivors, the information about the tank not only piqued their interest but could also provide valuable insights.

If possible, they wanted to gather information about the tank’s owner. The attraction of the tank was simply overwhelming.

Brigham’s message was sent to all those who had contacted him. It read:

"Wish to see the complete video? Sure, it’s only 100 experience points! I guarantee it’s genuine, no tricks. I won’t increase the price, I promise!"

Upon seeing this, some expressed dissatisfaction:

"What? You want experience points for just a video? And you’re asking for so many at once? Are you crazy?"

"Are you blinded by greed? How can you charge for this?"

"You better watch out, someone might come after you for this! Charging for someone else’s tank footage, you’re asking for trouble!"

Brigham scoffed at such comments and promptly blocked and ignored them. He also received messages with threatening tones:

"Disgusting, charging for someone else’s tank footage. You’re not afraid someone might come after you?"

"Really, who do you think you are? Charging for something that doesn’t belong to you. You better hope no one finds you!"

Brigham responded confidently, "You can tell them to come find me if you want. I don’t believe they can locate me in this vast world."

Then, he promptly blocked these individuals as well.

Apart from a few who were unwilling to spend 100 experience points for the complete video, most people were willing to pay. However, many of them were grumbling.

But Brigham and his companions didn’t care. They were simply looking at their skyrocketing experience points, and they were thrilled.

3000 experience points!

4000 experience points!

5000 experience points!

8000 experience points!

10,000 experience points!

15,000 experience points!

After about an hour, Brigham had accumulated an astonishing amount of experience points. They had never seen so many experience points before. The excitement within them was palpable.

However, after an hour, the number of people willing to pay 100 experience points for the complete video dwindled. Some of it was due to people criticizing Brigham for being greedy, while others simply found 100 experience points to be too much.

Finally, Brigham said, "I’m now crowdfunding in the main hall. If we can gather over 5000 experience points, I’ll release the full video to the public. It’s a fantastic deal, as it would only cost each person 1 experience point to see the entire video!"

With this statement, the comments section exploded with outrage. Especially those who had already paid 100 experience points for the video were furious. They thought Brigham was unscrupulous.

Brigham, along with his two companions, didn’t care about these negative comments. They only cared about the experience points they were accumulating. Experience points were the real treasure.

Soon, they reached 5000 experience points through crowdfunding, and Brigham no longer restricted access to the video. He posted it in the public channel and then logged out of the system.

Little did he know the grave mistake he had just made.
