Chapter 400 - Shore Embankment

TL: xDh20, LifeisaJourney

Liu Gan sensed that something wasn’t right. He turned around, but Jiang JinYuan had already let go. He was in midfall as Liu Gan tried to grab hold of his hand. A mere few centimeters, and he could only watch Jiang JinYuan fall down into the horde of zombies.

“Who allowed you to let go?” Liu Gan shouted. Throughout his climb, his fury counter was already maxed out. At this point, he couldn’t suppress his anger anymore. Liu Gan had one hand on the hook, in his other hand he took out his greataxe. He threw his [Enhanced Crescent Blade] down on the zombies.

That was when he saw a glitch. Liu Gan sensed that something wasn’t right. After a brief moment of hesitation, he ordered NaNa to also let go and jump off.

When Liu Gan reached the bottom of the cliff, the horde of zombies all vanished. However, he continued to keep falling. That was, until he fell into the water. Quick rapids carried him downstream.

He was unsure of how far he had traveled along the rapids in the darkness, when the current suddenly calmed down. After a short time, there was a bright light up ahead. Liu Gan swam toward the only bright area, where he arrived at a channel. In the middle of the channel was a water drainage, and on both sides of the channel were fairly well-constructed shore embankments, illuminated by electric lights.

Every player that had fallen was present on the shore embankments, all of them drenched by the water. Even the player that had cursed Liu Gan’s ancestors was there; he was pale when he saw Liu Gan, and quickly hid behind another player.

After Liu Gan reached the channel, NaNa came swimming up in a doggy paddle behind him.

“Those hordes of zombies at the bottom of the cliff, were all illusions! Damn!” Jiang JinYuan cursed. He thought he was a goner when he fell. This was a relief, that they were able to survive a sick joke fabricated by the mainframe.

“I’ve seen this type of technology before. No wonder the iron hooks kept continuing and there were endless amount of zombies. I had some doubts as to whether it was all a hallucination.” Liu Gan shook his head. This feeling of getting played, made him feel sick. If he ever saw the mainframe, he would destroy it. His fury meter was at maximum capacity.

“Lord Liu, I shouldn't have cursed at you. It is my fault! I sincerely apologize to you. Please forgive me!” the player who had cursed Liu Gan couldn’t bear the internal guilt. He voluntarily walked up to apologize.

That moment when he thought he was going to die, his anger was directed at Liu Gan. He misdirected it all onto Liu Gan. Now that he hadn’t died, he was at the mercy of Liu Gan. Everyone knew that Liu Gan had a bad temper if you messed with him, so this player knew he wouldn’t get off easy.

“Now you know your own fault? How dare you curse at Lord Liu? Are you trying to die!” Zhao Meng walked over to punch and kick that player, enough pain to cause that player to scream in misery.

There was a reason behind Zhao Meng’s actions. He was saving this poor player’s life. Even his hardest punch wouldn’t take away this player’s life. At most it would bruise his muscles, but he would live. If Liu Gan used his fist, then the poor player would be a goner.

After awhile, QiuTao also swam up to the shore embankment. From the first fallen player to the last player, they had gathered onto the channel.

On the channel wall, there was a door. After QiuTao swam up, the metal framed door naturally opened.
