Chapter 10: Contamination (2/2)

“I’m asking you something! What’s wrong with this game? You’re already heavily injured, don’t help your company hide it anymore! There are ten thousand players trapped within this game, San Xing Corporation can’t hide it anymore!” Liu Gan asked the female worker again.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. Simulated games could be a different department’s project? I am responsible for biochemical laboratory work. Before the red rain, I was at sea on an expedition. I didn’t expect that the moment I returned, the world would have become like this.” she finally replied to Liu Gan.

This confused Liu Gan even more.

“You aren’t a game player, a game corporation’s worker, and also you haven’t recently transferred into this game… You’ve been living here in this world your whole life, right?” Liu Gan tested the female’s response.

“Of course, I’ve lived here my whole life. The purpose of our helicopter trip was to search the houses for usable resources and then return. After lifting off, I saw someone on the billboard, so we flew closer…” The female looked strangely at Liu Gan. She seemed to feel a lot of discrepancy when talking with Liu Gan.

“You are this game’s NPC.” Liu Gan finally understood.

“What?” The female crewmember frowned. Her face started to become pale. Her wound had been continuously leaking blood.

“Forget it.” Liu Gan shook his head, unsure of what to say.

“Why haven’t you been contaminated? Why are you so lucky?” The female took the lead to ask Liu Gan.

“I am a game player. One hour ago, I was transferred here. I haven’t been bitten yet, so how would I have gotten contaminated?” Liu Gan replied.

“Your brain seems to have a problem… but that’s not strange, considering all that scary stuff that’s happened…” The female was beginning to understand, and came up with her own theory.

“My head is fine, it’s the game that has an error.” Liu Gan replied to the female. No matter how he explained himself, she was from this world – an NPC. She was unable to comprehend the meaning that another person had been transferred into this world.

“You haven’t been contaminated yet, it’s possible that your body has developed a natural antibody against this contamination. Perhaps, you are the key to ending this contamination…” The female started muttering to Liu Gan.

“You were lowering the rope to make me your guinea pig?” Liu Gan looked at the female uncomfortably and was a bit angry, since his previous assumption was right.

“We just wanted to rescue this world…. “ The female worker revealed her sadness, as her loved ones, her friends, and even her coworkers had all become zombies. She had been on her ocean voyage which had allowed her to survive this disaster. Upon returning, everything she was once familiar with, had all changed.

“You said you were on an expedition, is this place close to the coast? Is there only one ship? If something happens to you here, they will send another helicopter to search and rescue you right?” Liu Gan suddenly remembered and asked the female worker.
