“Raining zombies…” Xue Jian said hopelessly. Judging from that news, Liu Gan’s group was definitely not simple at all. They were even more experienced in survival than he was, was what Xue Jian was thinking.

“We had each member zipline one by one down from the building. If you let go, you would end up in the hands of the zombies. Ripped apart as food for them.” Zhang ShengLi shook his head as he recalled that moment of how Wang YongChang had died. That day was hard to forget; even though he didn’t want to remember the events that had happened that day, he would day dream and it would be vividly in his memory.

Wang YongChang’s death was his own fault and nobody else’s. Despite that, Zhang ShengLi still felt guilty. Zhang ShengLi was replaying various scenes in his head, if he had stayed a little longer or helped tie the rope, then Wang YongChang wouldn’t have died.

“Ah… You have experienced too much! What we have been through pales in comparison…” Xue Jian said. Xue Jian had no idea whether to be envious or sympathize with Zhang ShengLi’s experiences.

Several more people carried chairs over to sit in a circle by the hotel front door and chat, while the kitchen was busy making food. By the time dinner was finished being made, 40+ people had gathered in the ballroom to eat, sitting around 8 tables.

In this unknown world with the torrential downpour outside, being surrounded by strangers on the inside, and the uncertainty of tomorrow’s events, it was a complex and mixed feeling. Only those who were present understood how it felt.

“Yin He, how’s the situation outside?” Liu Gan took out his earphones to contact Yin He.

The only response was static noise. It could be the weather conditions or Yin He was simply too far away, hence the communications problem.

“Elder Liu, is there a problem? Where is Little He?” Zhang ShengLi whispered to Liu Gan. He saw that Liu Gan had a concerned look.

“No problem, let’s eat dinner.” Liu Gan patted Zhang ShengLi’s shoulder and they both proceeded to the main dinner table to sit down.

After merging both the teams, to ensure its safety, the food supplies were now constantly kept under guard.. To enter the kitchen, every member had to be body-searched. Then, Liu Gan ordered the kitchen workers to eat the food first. Only when it was safe to eat, did everyone else pick up their chopsticks to eat.

In this world, there was no democracy, only a centralized rule. As a team leader, for his own safety and the safety of others, there would be many situations where Liu Gan would be forced to do things that seemed rather inhumane.

Considering that the outskirts was just wilderness, the absence of buildings in the surrounding area, and with such a loud thunderstorm in the background, it made it impossible for zombies to pinpoint the source of the noises to the hotel. Therefore, Zhang ShengLi and Han GuangMing had suggested having a party, and Liu Gan had approved. They quickly moved the tables to the side, making room in the center of the ballroom.

This party had ice breaker games for the four squads to compete in. The losing squad would have to put on a performance. Any performance would be allowed, even better if they could make others laugh.

Within the 40 or so members of the team, aside from Zhang Miao and Zhou JingJing, there were three other young female players. These three players were from Xue Jian’s group. There were very few female players that played zombie games, so naturally, these females took the spotlight of the night. Many of them had some talent in a performing art, like singing or dancing - it created a nice ambiance. It gave off the feeling that was close to that of being back in the real world.
