After ten minutes, that player returned to the gap. Speaking through the gap nonchalantly, the player updated Liu Gan. There was another long passage more than a dozen meters long beyond the gap . At the end of the passage was an opening to another room. This room was smaller than the lounge they had been trapped in.
After being reassured by Liu Gan that there were no dangers on the other side, one by one the players squeezed through the gap. They walked together as a group through the passage and into the other room. It was as the player had reported, the room was definitely smaller than the lounge.
The moment someone walked by the sensors, the speakers were activated. It seemed there was another surveillance camera and speaker in that room, and it hadn’t been damaged yet.
“Congratulations for passing the first trial. Even though… your method of passing the trial relied on brute force. If you had a brain, you could have used it. You could have looked under the sofa, in the ceiling panels, or the walls for a hidden trigger. By flipping this trigger on, you would’ve been able to pass through the passage here,” the mainframe continued with its verbal diarrhea.
“Cut your bull! No one wants to play your boring IQ games!” Liu Gan cursed the mainframe.
“Okay, since you have all passed… this is the second trial. It tests your courage. Without any courage, you won’t be able to pass this part,” the mainframe continued speaking. As such, this room they were in was the second trial waiting room. In front of their path at the far side of the room was now revealed a dark tunnel.
The sound of a horde of zombies escaped from that dark tunnel. As each different zombie produced different noises, it didn’t sound like the normal zombies. These zombies kept moaning at different intervals so there was hardly a moment of silence. The noise didn't seem to be coming at eye level, it sounded like it was at a much deeper location.
Liu Gan walked up into the dark tunnel, and after a dozen meters into the darkness he reached a wide opening. He shone his flashlight at the surroundings. It was such a vast space that he wasawed at the fact it was even built.
The tunnel abruptly ended at the opening, since it was a deep cliff that bordered the tunnel and the vast open space. It was so dark that his flashlight couldn't illuminate the other side. That was when Liu Gan realized he was only standing on a small platform in this vast open space.
The light didn't reach the other end of the room, but it still reached the bottom… Over ten meters down, there were at least several thousand Black-Spot Variant zombies. When the zombies heard the commotion at the top of the cliff, they tried to scale the walls and climb on top of one another. It resembled a zombie ladder. Since it was hard for the zombies to get a grip on the slippery walls, they were unsuccessful in reaching Liu Gan and his group.
Even for someone as strong as Liu Gan, if he fell it would be hard to climb back up to his current location. Not to mention, he would be trapped among several thousands zombies. Even the fiercest warrior would succumb to this many Black-Spot Variants. Even a warrior has limits on how many fights it can take on at once. All it took was one fatal bite for him to lose everything.
The other players hadn’t even reached level 10, so if it was a fair 1-to-1 fight they would have a chance. However once you threw them into the pit against a horde, then they wouldn’t last more than a few seconds.
