As Gameknight peeked through the open doors to zombie-town, he was shocked at what he found. Since his last visit there, there were even more zombies than before.
“Well, this looks like fun,” Hunter said.
Stitcher gave Hunter a glare.
“Gameknight, there are too many… what do we do?” Crafter asked, a worried expression on his face.
“I have an idea,” Gameknight999 said, a smile on his face. “I think your Great-Uncle Weaver would like it. How much TNT do you have?”
Crafter pulled out a stack of TNT.
“No, 64 isn’t going to do. We’re going to need much, much more.”
“How many more?” an NPC asked from somewhere in the middle of the army.
“A lot. Let’s just say… maybe 200 to 400 blocks?” Gameknight said, his smile growing bigger.
“We’re on it,” Digger boomed. “Half of you, search the caves for Creepers, and shoot them with arrows.”
A large group of villagers moved off into the caverns.
“The other half, go to the surface and dig up sand,” Digger said.
“FOR MINECRAFT!” the NPCs yelled.
“What’s your big idea?” Hunter asked.
“I’ll explain later,” Gameknight said as the puzzle pieces clicked into place in his head.
Chapter (x) Plan in Motion
The NPCs dug about 2 blocks above the zombie-town’s ceiling. It was a bit tricky, due to them being at the core of the lag, but they managed to get it done. Within an hour, the whole area above the zombie-town was excavated.
“Now what?” an NPC said.
“Just a minute,” Gameknight replied. He then talked into the chat to Shawny. “Shawny, turn on the X-ray mod, and set it so that I can see through stone.”
“OK,” Shawny replied.
In a few moments, Gameknight was able to view the interior of the zombie-town.
“OK, now place a TNT block where I want it to be placed,” the User-that-is-not-a-user said.
The villagers did so, but they wondered why they were placed in seemingly random spots. When asked, Gameknight just replied, “Wait and see.”
The NPCs then, as Gameknight ordered, placed more TNT to fill up the whole space, 2 blocks above. The rest of the TNT was then placed on the bottom layer, so that a detonated TNT block will trigger another one.
“I sure hope this works,” Gameknight thought aloud.
“Yeah, it better work,” Hunter replied, a smirk on her face.
“OK, now everyone down to the cave floor,” Gameknight shouted.
Gameknight pulled out a button, and pressed it, activating a TNT block. Then, he jumped down, taking a small amount of damage.
And then, the next thing the NPCs heard was a loud explosion.
Chapter (x): Destruction of Zombie-Town
Xa-Tul stood near the portal room, smiling as the zombies poured out like an unstoppable flood…
BOOM!
The ceiling exploded, activating the TNT above, sending it down.
“It’s the NPCs!” Xa-Tul shouted. “Everyone to the fountains, NOW!”
The TNT hit the floor, just as most of the zombies reached the fountains.
BOOM!!!
Unfortunately for the zombies, the TNT destroyed the HP fountains. The zombies took heavy damage as they flew into the air, including Xa-Tul, who smashed his head on some stone.
Zombies then slammed down onto the floor, leaving behind rotten flesh, swords, armor, shovels, vegetables, and XP.
“NOOOOO!” Xa-Tul shouted in frustration. “You think you won, Fool? You only delayed the server crashing. And then, you will pay with your life!”
Gameknight heard him, and smiled as he and the NPCs ran up to the surface, making a hasty retreat as the sun rose.
