Chapter 16: Massacre (2/2)

“You wanna die? What young girl? I’m your older sister!” The only female player pulled the ear of the green-haired player, and started scolding him.

“Brother, we’ve been trapped here for a very long time. Do us a favor! Help us open the iron door up!” Another player also started pleading to Liu Gan for help.

“When you entered the game, what did you choose as your starting weapon? Show it to me. I have to make sure there are no hidden traps prepared for me.” Liu Gan said after thinking for a little while.

“Absolutely not! We were really trapped here since entering. I chose the iron rod…” the plump-player confessed and revealed his iron rod.

“I chose the machete…”

“Machete…”

“Machete…”

“I have a hand grenade…”

“I also have a hand grenade…”

The six players honestly displayed their starting weapons to prove that there were no bad intentions, or ideas of harming him.

Liu Gan’s true intention of wanting them to display their starting weapon was to see if the players were honest, and not because he was scared of them. He could tell that these players weren’t bad people. They have not yet come into contact with the evil side of humanity that shows itself when coming across zombies. Liu Gan also had a secret agenda when he asked them to reveal the weapon. It was to benefit off of them.

“How about this, your two hand grenades, if you drop your grenades and give them to me, then consider that as payment for me rescuing you. Remember to not pull the ring for the grenade!” Liu Gan negotiated his terms.

The six players up above started arguing, and one of the players wielding the hand grenade, under peer pressure, agreed to give up the grenade in his hands. The other player though was reluctant to give up his hand grenade. The plump-player had no choice but to offer up his own iron rod in trade for the other player’s hand grenade. They then proceeded to drop the two grenades from the top of the building down to Liu Gan.

Liu Gan waited a while, just to make sure that the hand grenade didn’t go off. Then walked up to them, picked up the two hand grenades and pocketed them safely.

Hand grenades have limited quantities, with a formidable power, and were best used against colossal zombies. At a crucial point, it can also be used to clear a path when there is a corpse tide. It can only be found on players that carry it as a starting weapon,so once it was used, it was gone forever. Therefore, this is a very valuable supply to have.

Once an agreement was made, Liu Gan didn’t go back on his word. He went up the stairs, cautiously looking around. There was a thick heavy iron door, and it had a heavy duty slide-in bolt lock. Sliding the lock away, Liu Gan easily got the iron door open.

“Thank you! Finally we can leave this place! The previous heavy lightning scared all of us, and we were so afraid it might strike the top of the roof…” the 6 players chattered and expressed their gratitude to Liu Gan.

The rooftop had limited space, at around 10 square meters, so it was no wonder these players were reluctant in using the grenade to blast open the door. If they attempted to use it on the door, then they definitely would have blown themselves up in the process.

But with them having been trapped in this rooftop situation, Liu Gan didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. This type of four story building had walls with openings for air conditioner framework and lots of windows. If it had been Liu Gan himself in this scenario, Then he would have scaled along the exterior wall, and from the window or air conditioner framework, easily jump safely to the ground.
