Chapter 212 - Anger

TL: xDh20, LifeisaJourney

This will be the last chapter I'm posting. It's been fun. I can't believe how many days it's been since I've tled so many. Shit's about to get real. It's Lit. So Lit that Liu Gan will be Lit Gan from now on.

“What was the purpose of this pointless battle? I'm practically dead due to the infection! There are also seven other injured players!” loudly exclaimed a player with an infected bite wound on his shoulder as he ran towards Lit Gan and the several squad leaders.

This person’s name was Dong JianShi. In the real world, his profession was a teacher. He was placed within Zhang Hua’s squad and was level 3 prior to the battle. Within Zhang Hua’s squad, there was also another level 3 player, thus, the two level 3 players were grouped together and were encouraged to kill additional zombies in order to reach level 4. During Dong JianShi’s assault against the zombie, he panicked. Instead of attacking the zombie, he turned and ran. The transition caused his momentum slow down and because of this, he was bitten on the shoulders. Zhang Hua witnessed the scene, and by the time the zombie was killed, it was already too late. The damage has been done. Teacher Dong had been infected.

“Pointless battle? Elder Lit’s decision was correct! If it weren't for his decision, our current situation would've resulted in a larger amount of casualties!” Zhang ShengLi barked back at Dong JianShi.

“Correct? During a corpse tide in the middle of the night, he didn't lead us to escape. Instead, he pushed us towards danger in the name of training; is this still correct?” Teacher Dong countered in defence. With the wristwatch indicating a red-color for the [Infected] status, he had limited amounts of time to say what he wanted to.

“Yeah! Fighting doesn't seem like the right decision! He practically didn't treat our lives as important!” exclaimed an arm-less player. This player’s name was YuLei and because he had lost his arm in this battle, he was quite bitter. In the real world, he was a promising district general manager. He was quite nervous when he was urged to directly attack the zombie. Due to this, he slipped and fell, causing his arm to be bitten in the process.

Back in the real world, YuLei had a group of salespeople flattering him day to day, they would offer themselves up to do his bidding. Thus, YuLei was not used to getting his hands dirty. On top of that, he wasn’t quite happy about having to follow orders.

Upon hearing Teacher Dong and YuLei’s complaints, several of the other injured players gradually became rowdy. The group of displeased players began debating, these players were all originally annexed from Mr. Sheng’s camp. When Lit Gan incorporated them into his own group, he treated them like his own. He disregarded the food rationing for the night in order for them to enjoy a feast, and they didn’t complain about that. Perhaps due to the lack of sleep and the pressure of fighting the corpse tide, their moods quickly changed.

“What? Did not take your lives seriously? Do you know what Elder Lit did during the night in the rain for your sakes? He risked his own life to find the Leech Variant Zombie! While, he did that, what were you guys doing? You were all sleeping! So don’t give me that nonsense! You said you wanted to leave this area? How? What about our cargo? Do we continue moving the cars out of the way, only to have them catch up to us from the rear? Then our situation would be a lot worst!” Zhang ShengLi fiercely retorted.

“He should’ve given up on the cargo! I feel, that as a leader, he should place our lives as the number one priority. Under this corpse tide, he should’ve abandoned the car and the cargo. I don’t find it a big deal to leave the cargo behind. In the worst case scenario, we can always come back to find it. When people die or infected, there’s no way of returning!” Teacher Dong barked back. Teacher Dong was incredibly desperate, thus, he had no worries of holding back his tongue.
