Chapter 97: Humiliation and Anger
This was probably one of the preset background stories that would lead to an important clue for uncovering the truth. It was just that there were very few clues to begin with, and Liu Gan still wasn’t able to find convincing evidence that this clue had meaning. It was possible this was a strategy regarding the truth behind this game. At least for Liu Gan, he merely uncovered the tip of the iceberg.
Even though DuDu’s corpse hadn’t been dissected yet, Liu Gan could determine that within this young boy was a parasitic-type variant zombie. With a metallic reflective glow, this parasite resided within DuDu’s skull. It could control the movement of this young boy, and imitate a human.
A variant zombie that possessed intelligence was very frightening. Luckily, DuDu was only an incomplete product. It was defective, so it wasn’t able to bring out its truth strength. This parasite was unable to leave the body of the host, so once its host died, it followed suit.
Since Liu Gan drowned the boy, he had no knowledge of this Parasite Variant Zombie’s attacking and combat strength. So if he was to encounter another species of Parasite Variant Zombie, he wouldn’t know how to handle the situation or how to fight them.
Since this parasite could take control of a young boy’s body, later on it could take control of an adult and be free to travel. It seemed like the future of this game just became more difficult. So later on, even if he met regular people, he would have to be on high alert to not be misled by this facade.
As for the next step, Liu Gan really wanted to dissect the boy to investigate, but he couldn’t break open the alloy metal cage.

Zhang ShengLi caught up to Hu Rong and Zhang ShengNan. ShengLi pulled ShengNan over to a room by the stairs, and both males started to apologize and placate her. Zhang ShengLi even slapped himself in the face twice, in hopes of appeasing Zhang ShengNan.
“Your classmate’s brain is not thinking straight. He would even kill such a small boy! Are we really going to follow him?” Zhang ShengNan hatefully asked her brother.
“He reconsidered and won’t lead us anymore.” Zhang ShengLi replied to Zhang ShengNan. Deep down Zhang ShengLi knew that Liu Gan had nothing to lose if the three of them left, but it was a great loss for them without Liu Gan. Since this was their situation right now, he couldn’t help it.
“What are your plans? Do we continue going down?” Hu Rong asked the Zhang siblings with his face downcast.
“The 90th floor is up above. I suggest that we go up and take a look around. What danger can this building possibly have? Right now, even if several zombies appear, we can still handle it.” Zhang ShengNan said after pondering for a while.
“It’s close to midnight, so let’s not take the risk. The floors below us are all cleared out, and we can find a safe place below to rest up. As for our plans, let’s decide tomorrow when the sun is up.” Zhang ShengLi suggested since he didn’t agree with Zhang ShengNan’s decision.
“Brother, are you a man? Why do you have no guts after leaving your classmate? I don’t want to rest yet; I want to kill more zombies!” Zhang ShengNan angrily replied to Zhang ShengLi. Ever since Liu Gan called her dumb, she didn’t have anyone to vent her frustrations on, so it remained in her heart. She was in a bad mood.
“ShengNan, just listen to your brother.” Hu Rong said to Zhang ShengNan.
