Chapter 17: Masters of the experts (2/2)

“You guys are really lucky, being able to transfer to this location as a starting point on the rooftop, even if you were trapped, but you never had any life threatening danger. When I entered, it was a squad of 10 players. Shortly after being transferred to the plaza, a player was bitten, and then carelessly screamed and created noises which lead to a corpse tide. Luckily, me and another player were fast enough to escape. The other 8 players were also within the corpse tide.” Liu Gan had accepted two grenades as tribute, so it was acceptable to share his knowledge with them.

Based on what had happened to the 6 players, Liu Gan guessed that for all the others of the ten thousand players trapped within the game, every single one of them, upon entering, had a random starting scenario. He and the other 9 players were sent to the plaza center and encountered a small BOSS with a large corpse tide. These 5 male and 1 female players were a lot luckier, because in this region there weren’t too many zombies, in addition to being safely trapped on top of a rooftop.

If Liu Gan was sent to the rooftop, he would not be as distressed as he was before when he was trapped in the plaza during the corpse tide – on top of a billboard just waiting idly, unable to escape.

“Of the ten players, were a large majority female?” the red-haired player asked Liu Gan

“All were male.” Liu Gan replied, and was wondering why he would ask such a weird question.

“You all were too stupid! Ten male players and together you were nearly all wiped out – you guys must be inexperienced with these types of zombie games?” the red-haired player said in a demeaning manner while posing with his machete on his shoulder – trying to look cool. At the same time, his expression was as if looking down at Liu Gan.

“Maybe.” Liu Gan looked at red-haired player, without much explanation.

“You came from that direction so you must be familiar with going back to the plaza right? How about you take the lead and guide us there, and we will help you clear out the zombies so you can have your revenge!” The green-haired player also suggested this to Liu Gan, and raised his machete eager to fight.

“I don’t have a need for you guys to avenge anything, that place is somewhere I definitely don’t want to go back yet, so you guys don’t need to go sacrifice yourselves.” Liu Gan tried to dissuade the green-haired player.

“Sacrifice? You coward! When the corpse tide was occurring you probably weren’t calm enough and everyone ran away separately, right? No wonder you guys were all wiped out…” the red-haired player looked despicably at Liu Gan. Also, when Liu Gan had said ‘sacrifice’ in a saddened type of tone, it caused the red-haired player discomfort, which added to his hostility towards Liu Gan.

“Indeed, if it were you game experts at that place, then you guys wouldn’t be like us noobs.” Liu Gan laughed lightheartedly in reply to the red-haired player. Obviously, they can’t be persuaded by words, so Liu Gan wouldn’t do any more unnecessary actions – if the other players wanted to sacrifice themselves, then it was their business.

“We 3 are experienced in these type of zombie games. The last time we played [Peerless Zombies], we each had a machete, and after setting up our formation we were able to plow through twenty thousands zombies. We came out unscathed and got rewarded a gold medal achievement.” the red-haired player said all this when he heard ‘experts’, so he flaunted his previous game achievements in front of Liu Gan.

[TN: I don’t want to say left 4 dead, but the game style is similar except open world.]

“Unscathed? Gold medal achievements? You guys definitely are game experts!” the plump-player said to the three youth player with his thumb sticking up representing how much he worshipped them. He’d played with his friends before in [Peerless Zombies] as well, and had watched strategy video guides, but never had he achieved coming out unscathed and gold medal achievements.

“I really misjudged you guys, you are definitely masters among experts! If you three don’t go to the plaza to massacre, then it would be a waste of your talent!” Liu Gan flattered the three youthful players with dyed hair.
