Chapter 19: minimart

“I wasn’t trying to scare her, it was only the truth.” Liu Gan gave an indifferent expression.

“We were sitting in front of our computers, wearing induction sensor headgear and holding mice when we started the game. This isn’t virtual reality, so why does it feel so real? This.. this is absolutely absurd!” LuLu had a gloomy look on her face. She was trying to comprehend everything that Liu Gan had just described, but she had not witnessed anything like that yet.

Although LuLu was a gaming broadcaster gathering information on this zombie game, it was only demonstrated through a monitor. If it was as Liu Gan described, and their real selves were here, and they would actually feel everything, then LuLu definitely couldn’t accept this.

“This is indeed absurd.” Liu Gan agreed with LuLu’s statement completely.

“Boss, you said we’re stuck in this game? Then what must we do to escape back to the real world?” Plump Pan Hua asked Liu Gan. Upon entering this game, once they discovered the harsh reality of it, and how strange it was, players like him that don’t have much courage would want to retreat. Ever since LuLu entered the game, she has been trying to quickly leave, and since Pan Hua is her fan, he would try his best to help her find a way out.

“I’m not San Xing Corporation’s game developer, how would I know what is going on? Liu Gan shrugged, he was also just as confused as they were.

Liu Gan knew that these types of discussions were pointless, but right now was not like the plaza where there was no shelter. If a corpse tide appears, anyone can climb the structures on the street to escape, so it is okay to stay in the area to chat for a little longer.

The road had a lot of cars in it, and inside some of these cars were trapped zombies that wouldn’t stop howling. A large amount of the streets were destroyed by the vehicles or blockaded, so when it got dark, finding their way through would not be easy.

These vehicles were severely damaged, and all of the tires deflated. If you observe closely then you could see that the tires were clearly corroded. Whatever had happened in this world, it must have been terrifying for the tires to have corroded to this state.

The four players walked after and after awhile, Liu Gan’s feeling of hunger got stronger, this game’s genuinity was really high. The feeling of pain, hunger, and thirst was undeniably real.

Hunger level, thirst level, all of this definitely raised the difficulty of the game. Players that won’t eat would become weak and possibly starve to death. Just like before being trapped on the billboard, Liu Gan’s thirst level was in the red. If it was not for the thunderstorm, his thirst level would have changed from red to black.

Liu Gan looked at his alloy watch, the attribute of the hunger was already red. This means that he must rush and find food to compensate. Otherwise, his strength and health would suffer. His thirst level was orange, so he must replenish liquid soon as well.

From a different perspective, this place was no different from the real world… Aside from the streets filled with zombies.

“Do you guys feel hungry?” Plump Pan Hua couldn’t resist asking the others, because he was obese, he gets hungry easier. When he was trapped on the rooftop, he was unbearably hungry, and now as he was walking with Liu Gan, it got worse.
