”Till It Burns Out” - Hotel Garuda

“If I may ask, are the three of you players level 5 or above?” The shorter and skinnier person walked up to ask the three oncoming strangers.

“If we weren't, we would've wasted our time walking here.” Zhang ShengLi replied unapologetically. As of right now, Zhang ShengLi was fully immersed in his role of being the boss. Liu Gan and Yin He were his lackeys.

“Can you show me your alloy watch to confirm?” The short, skinny player asked.

“No need to look, we can just have a spar to see if I am level 5 or not.” Zhang ShengLi refused, as he didn't want to reveal the secret trump card - his ability.

“This is relatable, we are doing this to confirm the safety of everyone. If you aren't willing to show us your alloy watch, then I'm afraid that we can't have you participate in this oncoming operation.” The short, skinny player replied. Even though it sounded polite, but every word had a deeper meaning.

“That's easy to resolve, if we don't participate then you two, and the ten others nearby can all die today!” Zhang ShengLi aggressively declared. This tactic was something he picked up from following Liu Gan for so long.

The short, skinny player finally quietened down. He was at a loss on what to do, so he looked around for help in defusing the situation.

“Ohhh this brother here is quite fierce! But I like it! Hahahaha…” The leader of the broadcasting group spoke up. The leader was very muscular, and he walked out from a building in the village plaza, following behind him were the other players.

The moment the buff leader walked out, the short, skinny player walked over to greet him respectfully. Seems like the guy in charge finally appeared.

“We heard your request for help on the broadcast. We rushed over early this morning to help, but now this youngster wants to kick us off the mountain already. Do you think it is funny to play around with our time?” Zhang ShengLi angrily glared at the opposition.

“He really doesn't know how to articulate his thoughts well. Please forgive him! I will apologize in his stead! To confirm the level of everyone is for the safety of the whole team. If the level isn't high, then not only will they slow the team down, but they will also drag the team to doom. So please understand that point.” The buff leader explained. Even though the leader looked like a musclehead, it seemed his brain was just as developed. There was no better way to have worded it, and nothing could be nitpicked from his statement.

The buff leader was called Wang Chao. The several nights prior, Wang Chao was with his two other companions hunting for variant zombies very late into the night on the mountain top. As they were setting up camp to shelter from the elements, from afar they saw a flying device that produced engine sounds and bright flashing lights. Reacting to it, Wang Chao and his companions hid amongst the bushes. What they saw blew their minds. They saw a futuristic model of a heavy-duty aircraft, it mostly resembled a helicopter. Hanging below the futuristic helicopter was a gigantic monster, and it was flying in between mountain valleys.

The landing site was not too far away from Wang Chao’s temporary camp site. So Wang Chao and his companion quietly snuck over. They were able to confirm that the helicopter was near a certain mountain villa. Within the villa, a strange sound was produced.
