Vol 1 Chapter 2-1 (1/2)

Zheng and the newbies followed the mercenaries in panic. They didn't know what to do. They came from a modern, civilized world and when they'd first experienced these fantasy-esque scenes, they thought it was all just a dream. To be honest, Zheng was rather delighted.

After being bored with the real world, he needed some kind of stimulation. Whether it's one night stands, getting into fights, or even drugs, they were just part of the real world. Once you wake up, you would be back at that boring world. But that wasn't what he wanted. He wanted something more exciting.

He was delighted when he first learned of this world. Not only could he experience all these worlds, but he could also enhance himself with points. Because he saw so many horror movies, as long as the first few worlds belonged to movies he had seen, then he would just become stronger and never die. Once he became strong enough and nothing could kill him, he would be able to go to any world and live however he like. And if he got bored of this place, he would just go back to the real world.

That was what Zheng imagined. Until the sound of those two explosions came. It shattered his fantasy. Heaven didn't exist, and this place wasn't heaven. This was hell. He was just a little bug in the eyes of God. Human lives were worth nothing more than just explosions. He... didn't want to die.

The cast didn't notice those explosions. They didn't even notice two people were missing. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, a mercenary said, ”Status. Red Queen is locked onto us. She knows we're here.”

”Who's the Red Queen?” Alice asked One with curiosity.

”A state of the art artificial intelligence. She is the computer that controls the Hive.”

Everyone reached the bottom. Jie turned around and looked at the people panting with a smirk. ”Keep going guys. You're lucky if you live through this. To be honest, luck is already by your side. This movie has a very easy difficulty. One of the few movies where you can solve problems with guns. Once you survive this movie, you will have 1000 points to enhance yourself.”

As the group moved forward, laboratories appeared on the sides. These labs were filled with water. Corpses of researchers floated inside. Zheng also knew that these corpses were already infected. Once the central computer restarts, they would be freed from any restrains.

”This is going to slow us down. Our route to the Queen takes us straight through these labs,” a mercenary said.

”Rain, JD, see how bad the flooding is.” One ordered. ”Kaplan, Jie, find us an alternate route.”

Jie waved at Zheng's group and went ahead casually.

After the four were gone, Spence asked, ”What happened here?”

One looked at everyone then answered, ”Five hours ago, Red Queen went homicidal. Sealed the Hive and killed everyone down here. When we realized what was happening, my team was dispatched to shut her down.”

The main characters looked puzzled. ”Why did she do it?” Alice asked.

One shook his head, ”That we don't know. But outside interference is a possibility.”

As One was talking, a figure appeared through the window of the lab closest to Matt. He looked closely, realized that was a floating corpse and jumped back.

Everyone was surprised, even Zheng's group. They looked toward that lab and saw a pale female corpse. The cast quickly calmed down, but Zheng's group was scared and shivering. Perhaps you couldn't feel it in the theaters, but when you were experiencing this, especially when you knew that corpse was a zombie, this sense of fear was unimaginable.

Zheng's mind blanked out. Then a hand tapped his shoulder. The slightest sound was enough to freak anyone out this moment. He immediately jumped backward a few feets before turning around to take a look. The glasses girl was standing there laughing at him.

”Hey! Why don't we introduce ourselves? Since our lives are on the same line.”

The three men agreed. Glasses Girl then said, ”My name is Zhan Lan, sounds like a boy's name right? I am an author. Before I came to this place, I always complained about the lack of inspiration. Little did I know I came to a world with limitless inspiration. This is probably retribution. Ha!”

Zheng returned with a friendly smile, ”Zheng Zha. I was a manager. Uhm. Before I came here I complained about the world being too boring and wanted some excitement... Though this place seems a little too much.”

Lan smiled and shook his hands, ”That's what I felt too!”

The middle age man smiled along with them, ”Mou Gang, I was a truck driver. Before I came here, I complained about my wife being too stingy, and that my son didn't live up to our expectations. I clicked YES when I was playing online games with my friends, then I came here.”

At last the boy said, ”Li Xiaoyi, high school student. Well, I complained about a lot of things, but this place doesn't seem bad. As long as I live, I can become a super human. According to what Jie said, you may be able to retain your powers if you manage to go back. I am tired of being bullied in school. If I can go back, I will kill those assholes!”
