Chapter 2: Fresh Flesh

"Wow! The effect of the blood splatter is truly realistic! How much has your health bar dropped, Baldy?" The young man with green skin widened his eyes in surprise as he watched everything happening before him.

A wisp of thin black mist floated out from the fallen corpse of the zombie, silently penetrating into Liu Qian's body

As the beautiful zombie wandered aimlessly, she suddenly spotted ten people appearing out of thin air. It was as if she had caught a whiff of fresh food, and she immediately charged towards them with astonishing speed, reaching the front of a young man in just a few seconds

The bald man, under the encouragement of a group of onlooking men, actually reached out with his other hand, preparing to pull down the cute outfit of the beautiful zombie and examine the patterns inside. However, just as he grasped the cute outfit and was about to tug it down, the beautiful zombie, which had been trying to claw at the green-skinned man, suddenly changed its target and lunged at the bald man, biting down on his neck.

The ten of them were not alone; not far from them wandered some individuals who appeared to be somewhat abnormal. For the homebodies who frequently played various games, it was immediately recognizable that those wandering figures were not ordinary humans, but rather zombies

"Oh my! Beautiful lady, have you never seen a handsome man before? Is it necessary to be this excited?" The young man pressed the iron rod in his hand against the chest of the female zombie, which was swollen.

So, is the current self in a game? ... Otherwise ...? ... How should all of this be explained?

The beautiful zombie, with a metal rod pressed against her chest, extended her hands in an attempt to grab the green-skinned man. Her mouth opened and closed incessantly, emitting a series of beast-like growls, seemingly very interested in the fresh flesh and blood of the green-skinned man

Liu Qian had remained silent, always feeling that something was not quite right. Wasn't all of this too real? If it were a game, what kind of powerful processor and graphics card would be needed to render such lifelike visuals? The computer screen could never display this effect; he was clearly transported directly into the game world!

Liu Qian instinctively looked at his hands and feet; he was a disabled person with all his limbs amputated, equipped with prosthetics. However, the way he wielded the machete just now was very agile, completely unlike prosthetic limbs. If they were indeed prosthetics, he would not have been able to grip the machete at all, let alone perform the precise movements required to slay zombies.

At this moment, the nine men beside Liu Qian were equally astonished. Like Liu Qian, they had been sitting in front of their computers just a moment ago. As soon as the server for San Yu Company’s "Tremor World" was activated, they immediately confirmed their entry into the game. Shortly after selecting their initial weapons, they appeared here, just like Liu Qian, in what seemed to be a rather large square

Haha ... ... quickly take it off and have a look, see how well the stickers inside are made. The other men watching began to cheer.

"Who made you take off the beautiful woman's panties? Did you anger her?" The young man with a greenish complexion laughed lewdly.

The attention of others was also drawn to this scene, and their confusion was temporarily set aside.

Liu Qian looked up at the sky, where the overcast clouds obscured the sun, and the dark clouds churned as if they were about to rain at any moment. Not far from him stood a massive billboard reaching towards the heavens, emblazoned with the four bright red characters 'Tremble World' and 'Illustration', as if they were dripping with blood. The date for the official launch of the game was even displayed, and that date was today

This modeling, this rendering, this texturing... the effects are incredibly realistic. The hair even has a silky effect, DX13 is truly different! The game developed by San Yu Company is really impressive! Another bald man staggered over as if he were drunk, closely examining the beautiful zombie.

If it were not for those blood-red eyes, the bluish cheeks, and the drooling corners of the mouth, she would be quite a beautiful woman, with a proud chest and curvy hips, possessing an attractive figure that would turn heads as she walked down the street

The expressions of others varied; some appeared somewhat panicked, some stared intently at the bald man's injured, bleeding shoulder, while others seemed to be searching for something in front of them

It was merely a game operated in front of a computer while wearing a sensory headset, how could it possibly feel so real? Could it be that he was dreaming? Liu Qian instinctively bit his lip, and a wave of pain surged through him, thus he immediately confirmed that he was not dreaming

Is the current virtual reality technology at such an advanced level? Can it provide experiences in games that feel just like those in the real world? Liu Qian sat up and surveyed his surroundings, internally expressing his skepticism.

Are advertisements being integrated into games now

The bald man instinctively moved aside a bit when he sensed something was wrong, but it was too late. The beautiful zombie bit down on his shoulder, and the bald man immediately screamed in agony as blood gushed out. Soon, a strong smell of blood began to spread all around.

Most people appeared quite confused and astonished, just like Liu Qian, standing up to look at the sky and then around, with an expression of disbelief on their faces

Liu Qian appeared in a square, surrounded by nine other men lying in disarray.

After sizing up the beautiful zombie, the bald man, with a wicked sense of humor, reached out to lift her short skirt, revealing the little panties underneath. Judging by the cartoon pattern on them, this beauty must have been quite adorable before turning into a zombie

Moments later, Liu Qian regained his senses. He remembered that when he logged into the game, he had chosen a machete as his initial weapon, and now he was indeed holding a machete in his hand. Since Liu Qian was very close to the bald man, he immediately swung the machete towards the neck of the beautiful zombie. The machete was very sharp, and given Liu Qian's tense state of mind, he exerted all his strength, thus severing the zombie's head with a single blow.

At this moment, the closest to them was a beautiful zombie, with long hair that did not appear too dirty, a prominent chest, and a slender waist. She wore a white shirt on her upper body and a beautiful red short skirt below, her figure was quite good, but unfortunately, her face looked somewhat grotesque

Liu Qian gasped for breath, his hands gripping the machete trembling slightly. Is this a game? Is this really a game? The smell, the visuals, the tactile sensation, there is no difference from the real world at all

At this moment, he could clearly feel the real sensation of holding the machete, swinging it freely; thus, it seems unlikely that this could be in the real world

"Bloodline ball! It hurts like hell!" The bald man forcefully pushed the beautiful zombie away and kicked her, sending her sprawling. However, the beautiful zombie, having tasted fresh blood and flesh, was clearly not ready to give up so easily. After being kicked away, she immediately lunged at the bald man once more.
