Chapter 33: Galaxy (1/2)
Chapter 33: Galaxy
Deep into the night, Liu Gan walked silently from the balcony to the bedroom to wake up Pan Hua. LuLu was also alerted and woke up, seeing that Liu Gan was switching shifts with Pan Hua. Nervously, LuLu held her breath until Liu Gan had laid down in the spot where Pan Hua’s makeshift bed was. Trying her best to not make any noise, and because she was too tired, she drifted back into her sleep.
While she was sleeping, LuLu had a nightmare, so she was in a state of half dreaming, half awake. Until Pan Hua woke her up to tell her that it was her shift.
When LuLu woke up, she completely forgot where she was, and was overwhelmed by fear and blanked out. It took her awhile to re-adjust and recall where she was. Finally, she had to give up her bed to Pan Hua, walking gently past Liu Gan as she made her way to the outpost seat by the balcony.
Fatty Pan Hua was definitely a gentleman. The original plan was to wake LuLu up at 5am to switch shifts, but every time he peeked into the room, he saw that LuLu was sleeping soundly. He couldn’t bear to wake her up until it was 6am, when he couldn’t resist anymore, so he had to wake up LuLu. By the time LuLu was on duty, the sky was brightly lit up.
At night it was pouring rain, but by now it had stopped. However, there were puddles that hadn’t seeped through the ground. The water had the smell of rotting flesh mixed in with the water, which was somewhat distressful for LuLu.
Blowing into her face was the morning breeze. Looking below into the alleyway, LuLu still had the feeling that everything around her wasn’t real. It was only the afternoon of the day before yesterday, that she’d still been within the safety of her own home — looking forward to joining [The Trembling World], preparing to take notes on her perspective for the show. Then, by night-time, she would look forward to donations from her fans. Who would’ve known that she’d get trapped in this game, unable to return.
If she knew that this was going to be the ending, she would never have joined this game.
If she didn’t return soon, she was afraid her fans would forget her. It wasn’t easy to gain fame with people. Being a broadcaster takes a lot of effort, and the competition was fierce. LuLu had spent over a year to gain her fame, and if it went to waste because of this, she wouldn’t be able to accept it.
…
Meanwhile over by the plaza, the 100 stories high skyscraper.
“I’m sooo hungry.” A female woke up and started mumbling, as having not eaten anything had made her weak. The sky had just brightened from the morning sun, but it was obvious that she’d awoken from being too hungry.
[TN: OMG. NEW CHARACTERS]
The female was called ZhangYu, and the male was called Li Hui. Both of them were still wearing their white laboratory coats from before the disaster. Within the skyscraper, they worked together in the laboratory. On the night of the disaster, they’d been working a night shift and doing overtime in the laboratory, and after working all night the world around them had changed.
Their coworkers hadn’t gotten rained on by the blood-red rain, but mysteriously their coworkers were infected and became zombies. Only these two remained without the infection.
Being able to survive was not always a good thing, as with each and every passing day, it became harder to get up. Especially since they had eaten everything in the laboratory and office.
