Chapter 18: The 3 agreements
“You really don’t want to go? Then tell us the path to get there, so we can go ourselves.” The red-haired player said, looking down on Liu Gan.
“Walk straight in that direction fifty meters, take a left, and you’ll come up to a slanted alleyway. Walk straight from there, where there’ll be many wide streets ahead, and after going through them you will reach the plaza. The plaza possibly has a miniature corpse tide, with around a dozen zombies, that should last you awhile.
“If that isn’t enough, walk straight past the plaza heading west. That’s the location of the gigantic explosion you saw earlier, with thousands of zombies. That will probably give you the feeling you experienced from [Peerless Zombies].” Liu Gan generously gave the directions to the plaza to the three youths.
“You three experts should find something to eat first, and then head to the plaza to kill zombies.” Plump-player kindly suggested to the three youthful players.
“Killing zombies and finding something to eat could occur at the same time, but you only know how to eat! No wonder you are so fat!” Red-haired player turned his head and said to the plump-player with discriminating eyes.
Plump-player couldn’t help awkwardly laughing it off, but didn’t say anything after that.
The three youthful players had been trapped for too long, so they couldn’t contain their excitement. They just had to go in the direction of the plaza to find some zombies and fulfill their cravings. However, the plump-player, as well as the other male and female player wanted to scavenge for food.
After a little bit of arguing, the 5 males and 1 female split into two groups. The red-haired player being the leader of one group along with two other males were going to head in the direction of the plaza to kill zombies and level up. The other two males and the female were going to follow Liu Gan in the direction that was safe, and search for food and water.
After deciding, the three youthful players immediately turned and left. In a very cool pose, they left with their machetes on their shoulders, and headed toward the plaza. As to why they had to use their shoulders to brace the weapons which weren’t even that heavy… it was illogical, and perhaps only a certain type of people, like manga readers, wouldn’t find it strange at all.
To this type of action that was clearly suicidal, Liu Gan didn’t try to dissuade them. Since those people didn’t have a connection with him, then whether they live or die didn’t really matter to him.
Originally, Liu Gan didn’t want to stick with the other three players. He didn’t want them to discover his secret or become a liability, but once he saw that his fatigue level was in the red, he knew that having someone stand guard would be a lot better for maximizing rest, and a lot safer so that he could sleep peacefully.
There’s also the factor of searching for food and water. In situations where it was unknown, they could scout for him. If they happened to find zombies, the zombies would chase them, and that would buy time for Liu Gan to tactically retreat.
(Editor Note: Hydro- *Tactical Retreat* = (cough cough) run away)
After considering all of the factors, Liu Gan agreed to temporarily group up with them.
“If I join up, you guys have to remember walk lightly, don’t talk too loudly, and don’t generate loud noises. If you attract too many zombies, we noobs will have a terrible ending.” Liu Gan gave his terms of agreement to the three players.
