Chapter 50: Communication equipment (2/2)
“If red dots represent zombies, then what is this blue dot…?” Liu Gan pointed at a different location with a faint blue dot that wasn’t too far off from their spot, as he asked Jiang JinYuan the question.
“That is a non-infected local. Looks like this small district still has a local survivor. How about this? We should go check out the local survivor’s hidden location and ask him a few questions. Maybe we can find clues as to what happened on the day of the disaster. He might have some useful information.” Jiang JinYuan replied to Liu Gan. Jiang JinYuan’s mission was to gather intelligence, but he didn’t realize he would have to personally gather it from the outside.
“Okay.” Liu Gan hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
Since he reached level 5, the amount of weight he could carry increased significantly. If they were to head to San Xing Corporation’s large building, they might end up staying up there for the night. So before that, he had to carry a bit more food and water from this location before setting off.
Besides, he just recently promised Pan Hua that he would spend an hour to teach LuLu how to kill zombies. Since he gave him his word, he had to keep his promise. It would also give him a chance to examine the differences between him and the other players leveling up in Trembling World.
As for this blue dot or lucky survivor, Liu Gan’s wasn’t even remotely interested. Once they found him, he could ditch Jiang JinYuan with the local survivor if there wasn’t any danger. Then he could deal with his own matters.
Liu Gan went over to LuLu’s side and patted her on the shoulders. LuLu was still at a loss as she lifted her head up to look at Liu Gan. Liu Gan didn’t say anything. He just turned his body and walked back to Jiang JinYuan, and they both headed toward the building where the blue dot was located.
After a slight hesitation, LuLu got up and immediately followed behind them. She still had the slightest hope that Liu Gan would bring her along. To her, it seemed that only Liu Gan was strong and capable enough to protect her. In addition, he didn’t display any nasty behavior towards LuLu previously.
According to the handheld PDA’s indicator, Liu Gan lead the two nearby the blue dot. The blue dot’s location within the district was by the front gate’s left side building. Jiang JinYuan operated the PDA for a bit when two ‘+’ symbols appeared beside the blue dot’s location. Apparently, that seemed to indicate the distance between their location exceeded six meters, meaning he was located on the 3rd floor.
Liu Gan scaled the staircase from the exterior and circled back to open the apartment complex’s tightly locked door, letting Jiang JinYuan and LuLu in. The three of them reached the third floor when Jiang JinYuan verified that the blue dot was in a bedroom located just to the left side of the hallway.
[TN: So Liu Gan went in first, checked, and then opened the door. The next paragraph describes this in detail. ]
The room was equipped with a locked, anti-theft metal door, but it wasn’t enough to block Liu Gan. He easily climbed from the staircase onto the balcony by the room with the blue dot. After entering the room and scouting the surroundings for security, he then returned to open the apartment’s front door, letting Jiang JinYuan and LuLu in.
“The blue dot seems to be in the children’s room and is located on the left side of the wall. The room doesn’t have any zombies or other people.” Jiang JinYuan looked at the children’s room, as he walked over to Liu Gan.
Liu Gan got closer, gently pushing open the door to the children’s room. When he was scaling the exterior and next to the window, he didn’t notice anyone within the children’s room. If there was someone, they must have been hiding underneath the bed or within the dresser.
[TN: San Xing Corporation exists in both the real world and in game. The system is balancing the game in response to any cheat.
Clarifications: Liu Gan still level 5. ]
