Chapter 12: The Night of No Rest

It was a good thing that Liu Gan had already adjusted to this kind of loneliness. Since over a month ago, when he had entered his villa, he had been living this type of isolated lifestyle.

Amidst this loneliness, the sky seemed to slowly dim. Liu Gan’s first night in the Trembling World was about to arrive.

This night, was destined to be a restless one.

After the helicopter exploded and burned for a while, the fire slowly went out. The surrounding air was filled with the smell of foul smoke and various charred materials. The smell was making Liu Gan teary eyed and light headed.

Luckily the thunderstorm had passed, but the wind hadn’t stopped. The wind’s strength was even stronger than before. It was enough to disperse the unpleasant odor. Because he was unable to leave the plaza, Liu Gan would have been suffocated by the toxic fumes if it weren’t for the strong winds – therefore the strong winds actually helped him.

The helicopter crashed into the billboard, and after the explosion from the helicopter it further damaged the billboard. Both these incidents nearly cost Liu Gan his life, but it also brought him an advantage. This was that the billboards support structure completely changed on impact – so much that one of the areas took the form of a small criss-crossed ledge.

(ED: There was a pun there. Instead of criss-crossed ledge, it was network shape. You know, because it’s a game? Ha ha.)

Liu Gan modified this criss-cross ledge by kicking it and managed to turn it into an area that he was able to lay down partially in. Even though this was a simple modification, it was more comfortable than before – when he had to sit in the cranny of the billboard.

Tonight, he shouldn’t expect to leave the plaza. Liu Gan was to accompany these thousands of zombies moans while falling into a slumber. This was good, at least he won’t have nightmares… there’s no nightmare that could be worse than his current situation, could there?

Liu Gan was indeed feeling tired, but he didn’t dare to fall completely asleep. He was really worried that once he fell completely asleep, he would accidentally fall from the structure to the zombies below. If he really fell from there, then there was really only one ending… This was to be gnawed on and torn apart, while being eaten alive and feeling all of the pain.

If it was more than a month ago, Liu Gan would never have imagined himself dying in this manner.

…

The sky gradually darkened. Liu Gan was unsure of how long had passed – 2 hours? 3 hours? At this moment, Liu Gan’s consciousness was a bit blurry, and from afar, on the horizon, once again the constant sound of a helicopter echoed.

Liu Gan immediately sat straight up and looked toward that direction. Indeed, it was another helicopter, even though it was flying quickly toward the plaza’s edge, towards the hundreds buildings. It kept circling around. A searchlight was non-stop shining on the ground, as if searching for something.

This helicopter was the exact same shape and model as the previous destroyed helicopter – the helicopter exterior had the same type of 3 rings that represented the San Xing corporation logo.

It looked like they didn’t wait for the return of their partners, so they came for a search and rescue work.

Liu Gan quickly stood on top of the support structure and shouted at the helicopter as well as waving his hands toward it. However, the sky had already completely darkened. The people onboard the helicopter – if the search light didn’t reach him – would have a hard time seeing him. In addition, the helicopter produced sound, so it was difficult to hear Liu Gan’s cry for help.
