Chapter 101: Prior To Departure (1/2)

Liu Gan frowned. Then, he followed Yin He silently up the stairs as they both proceeded toward the source of the noise.

When Liu Gan was looking at the PDA scan right before the battery ran out, he wasn’t able to see past the 89th floor. So he wasn’t sure if there was any danger beyond this floor. Even though Liu Gan was a level 5 player, he had to be especially careful when venturing deep into darkness. Under Yin He’s protection, he would proceed. These three players dared to rush that far into darkness. They must have had a deathwish.

Surprisingly, the 93rd floor was illuminated, but from the stairs it could only been seen originating from the end of the hallway where a laboratory was located. The noise of loud screaming could be continuously heard from the laboratory.

Right when Liu Gan drew closer, he could see there was a panicky shadow hurriedly leaving the laboratory. Liu Gan was able to recognize the person as Zhang ShengLi, and a shadow with short stature was following him closely. He soon saw that It was a young girl covered in blood. She was very nimble as she moved, and she leapt from the floor to the walls and ceiling like a spring. She opened up her claws and readied her fangs as she pounced closer to Zhang ShengLi.

Zhang ShengLi kept turning his head back to look at where the young girl was as he ran. It was as if he wanted to lure her away from the laboratory.

The young girl’s age seemed to be relatively close to the age of the boy that Liu Gan had drowned. As he drew closer to the laboratory, he was able to recognize the noise as Zhang ShengNan’s screaming. After seeing that Zhang ShengLi was being chased, he could guess what had happened… Zhang ShengNan must have released the little girl, and then the girl took a bite out of ShengNan before she started to chase Zhang ShengLi.

Hu Rong didn’t appear, so Liu Gan guessed that he must have suffered a major injury or died in the process of rescuing Zhang ShengNan.

Liu Gan guessed that this young girl was like the young boy, a parasitic variant zombie. In Liu Gan’s eyes, this was an opportunity to obtain a lot of experience, so he wouldn’t let it pass by.

Liu Gan readied his fire axe as he saw the direction of where the young girl was heading. Then, he swung at the location where they were supposed to collide, but the young girl was able to easily dodge the attack. After retreating two steps backward, she had an evil look in her eyes toward Liu Gan. It seemed like all of her attention and anger was focused on him.

The young girl prepared herself as she crouched and built up energy from wobbling left and right, and then she rushed forward at Liu Gan with her claws extended. Liu Gan was unable to block with the fire axe, so he was only able to punch the little girl. His punch was able to send her flying to the wall behind her. The young girl screamed and then very quickly retreated far away.

It was evident that she was able to recognize the difference in combat power between the person in front of her and the previous players. Since she couldn’t win, she chose to retreat.

“Capture her!” Liu Gan knew that he couldn’t keep up with her speed, so he ordered Yin He to do it.

Yin He revealed her shining sleeve blades, and she rushed over to the young girl like an arrow. Once the young girl had reached the stairs at the end of the hallway, a loud ‘bang!’ noise was heard as shattered glass fell onto the floor. She broke through the glass window and was scaling the exterior of the building to escape. Yin He continued to chase after her on the outside of the window. Liu Gan reached the end of the hallway where the glass had broken. He could only hear sounds of battling and more glass breaking, but they quickly disappeared out of his line of sight.

Ten minutes later, Yin He climbed up from the window, just to report that she lost her target.
