Chapter 97: Zombie Invasion

Translator: _Min_Editor: Yukira_

How much courage would it take to shoot your own head?

The question was quite complicated and would depend on the situation.

Despite knowing that this was a game, the ”memory” of growing up would still be vivid.

How would you describe this feeling? Well, imagine this: you've been living a good life, then one day, you suddenly had the urge to question the authenticity of the world as there was an extra bit of memory added. Despite being fully confident that the newly added memory was the real memory and all the previous memories were fake. And now you had an idea that as long you as die, you could escape the game and return to the real world.

There was no pain.

It's just like closing his eyes for a while.

Jiang Chen woke up from the ”dream” again.

<7:37 pm>

At that moment, however, his hand was not holding a pen but rather a black revolver.

”Looks like you can't escape the game through death... Make sense, if it's that easy to escape then the easiest way would be to jump down from the window.” Jiang Chen let out a self-deprecating smile and glanced outside the window.

The pistol following him after death was a huge BUG.

Jiang Chen played with the gun in his hands and unloaded the magazine.

16 rounds—the magazine was full again, so this gun should also play a ”role”. Although he didn't know how it happened, it appeared that the bullets were being replenished after every reset of the game.

With the gun stuffed in his pocket, Jiang Chen opened the bedroom door, passed through the living room and headed towards the door.

It was already night time but there shouldn't be no difference inside the game.

He pulled out his terminal and opened the map. The position marked by the triangle was gone, but he firmly remembered it.

The Xinpu Hospital in the northern district.

He put the terminal away and rushed to the direction of the subway.

<8:07 pm>

There were only a few pedestrians in the subway. Perhaps it was because the situation was a bit tense recently, everyone avoided traveling. After the rush hour, only few people could be seen in the subway. Sitting on a cold chair and waiting for the train to slowly accelerate, Jiang Chen sighed as he looked at the small TV on the wall.

The host was cracking jokes with his assistants and the audience was all laughing; he, however, couldn't smile.

[If everything is fake, then what about the memory of these past 17 years?

Am I too deep into this?]

Jiang Chen shook his head and touched the gun in his pocket. The cold, metallic feeling gave him a trace of comfort.

Not only could he integrate into another world, but he even acquired another set of memory. Even after experiencing death a countless number of times, only seconds passed by in reality. Had the future of technology and science been developed to this extent?

Or rather had it already been terrifying to this point?

He somehow felt a little despondent at the moment and gave a wry smile.

He just wanted to end this bloody game, and then return the memory that wasn't his back to the server.

CreaK!

The light suddenly went out without warning, and the carriage shook violently. As soon as it happened, Jiang Chen immediately reached out his hands and grabbed the handrail beside him.

Jiang Chen's muscles stretched violently as the pain almost made him broke his teeth, but his hands grasping the handrail did not let go.

”Ah—!” The passengers, who didn't keep their balance, began to fall as they smashed into the front of the train like thin paper.

PA!

Blood covered his line of sight.

Enduring his churning stomach, the forceful pulling almost made his eyes burst, and the veins on his arm were about the explode.

BOOM!

The force was so strong that eventually, Jiang Chen could not hold on anymore and fiercely crashed into heaps of dead body.

A trail of gruesome sparks flashed across the window. The train appeared to have a rear-end collision. It crashed into the rear of a preceding train and derailed with it.

Jiang Chen frantically scrambled to his feet. He dragged his dizzy head and hit the emergency door release button, however, the door failed to open.

[Has the emergency circuit been destroyed too?]

”Damn!”

He couldn't think for long because if he delayed any longer, another train would have come from behind...

While shivering, he took out the terminal in pain. He pulled out the cord beside the emergency exit button and connected it to the terminal.

Fortunately, it was still functional.

After gaining access, Jiang Chen hurriedly pressed the release button and unlocked the access to the safety hammer through the direct connection.

Jiang Chen gritted his teeth as he took out the red safety hammer from the partition wall. He used his entire body's strength to smash the window.
