Chapter 8: Roaring Thunder

No matter what happens, the feeling of having alloy metal limbs is far worse than one’s own original limbs. In the real world, Liu Gan has already become a person without limbs – a disabled person.

He would’ve never expected that, after entering “The Trembling World”, his hand and legs would once again return to his body. In this worst case scenario, the recovery of his limbs was the luckiest thing that could’ve happened to him.

Liu Gan tried his best to analyze the situation with his current knowledge. This must be because of the gaming company’s new technology which sends players inside the game world. From the moment he was first inside, there was a full body scanner which probably mistook the alloy prosthetics as his original body parts. The skewed data in the properties of the prosthetics lead to his current scenario.

Regardless of what the truth was, he was lucky to gain something from this misfortune. In this world full of zombies, if he was able to escape from his current predicament, he would use his parkour skills and agile body to survive. It would give him an edge over other players, and thus increase his chance at surviving.

Sitting on top of the iron pillar, Liu Gan was closely monitoring the plaza. He saw that the zombies had devoured all the flesh of the players who were killed – leaving behind just bones as remains in the plaza.

Afterwards, these players still hadn’t relogged back into the game.

Unsure of what came next after dying, and whether it was the fear of logging in again, or as the small-statured player said that maybe if they die in game, they would also die in real life. All these were possibilities which prevented them from dying. This created distress in Liu Gan’s mind.

The log out and call GM function were still not working. Liu Gan could only hope that killing all the zombies would indicate the mission being accomplished, which would let them log out and leave this place.

With this many zombies, trying to kill them wouldn’t be an easy mission. So it must be possible after accomplishing the mission!

If he was able to return to the real world, Liu Gan would find that the his limbs didn’t exist anymore, and he’d became a disabled person again. Then in that case, to him, being trapped in The Trembling World wouldn’t be that much better than returning to the real world.

Even then, he still felt that he didn’t have that much of an urge to find out how to leave the game – all he felt he needed to do was to remain focused and stay alive in order to escape from this plaza.

Liu Gan looked at his alloy watch – the ‘Call GM’ and ‘Logout’ options were still grayed out. Only his player properties option was available. The player menu was pretty simple to maneuver; besides heart rate, temperature showing notifications, the other functions were player level, hunger level, thirst level, fatigue level, health condition, contamination degree, and state of infection – which all showed approximate measurements.
