Chapter 7: The Path of Life

Moreover, what if the rain falling from the sky is red blood rain? The rain in the game's initial interface is red, seemingly implying that the origin of this zombie world is related to that red rain.

In the real world, Liu Qian is a second-generation wealthy individual who has no financial pressures, allowing him to pursue a variety of hobbies and do whatever he wishes. Liu Qian's favorite sport is parkour, and over a year ago, he participated in programs such as "Challenge the Impossible" on CCTV, maintaining several world records in the parkour community that have yet to be broken.

Now, everything in his dreams, everything he longs for, has finally become a reality. Therefore, the price of being trapped in a trembling deadlock is also bearable. At least he is still alive, living with all his limbs intact

You must strive to survive

It seems that achieving this without external assistance is entirely impossible

On the desolate billboard at the center of the zombie tide, the four words "Trembling World" still glisten in a vivid red, but now beneath these words stands a survivor, a survivor who is utterly exhausted and deeply entrenched in despair

Once he drinks that rainwater, which is as red as the books, will he also become like those people beneath the billboards, turning into mindless and thoughtless zombies

Liu Qian pondered that if he wanted to survive, to find food and water to live, he must find a way to leave this square. Since the zombies had all been attracted to the square, it was likely that there were significantly fewer zombies on the streets surrounding the square, which also meant that those streets would temporarily be safe.

In other words, the game did not initially push players into a dead end; rather, it provided them with numerous choices and repeatedly offered paths to survival. However, new players were too confused and panicked by the game's authenticity, missing multiple opportunities for escape, which has led to the current situation of near-total annihilation.

After regaining the normal function of his hands and feet, Liu Qian, a disabled person who had fallen into the depths of life a year ago, once again experienced the happiness of being a normal person, a happiness that is hard-won for someone with complete limbs

A year after losing his hands and feet, Liu Qian dreamed countless times of regrowing his limbs, feeling an overwhelming excitement in his dreams. He and Tu Shu had pleaded with the heavens countless times, expressing that if his hands and feet could grow back from his body, he would be willing to pay any price for it

After killing the three zombies that attacked from behind, the players still had a chance to escape. However, they continued to engage in meaningless discussions, wasting precious survival time, until the mutated zombies finally entered the square. The sounds of the players running, calling out, and the explosions of Molotov cocktails attracted a large number of zombies from the nearby streets, leading to the subsequent zombie tide, which resulted in the near-total annihilation of ten players. Liu Qian could only remain trapped alone on this billboard.

If the players at that time had not teased the beautiful zombie, they could have easily killed her. After that, there would have been at least seven or eight minutes during which the players would not have encountered further attacks from zombies, allowing them to choose a calm escape. However, all that time was wasted on meaningless discussions

The crisis is severe, leaving no hope for survival.

The world of tremors indeed lives up to its name, as it immediately provided Liu Qian with an experience of unparalleled despair and trembling from the very beginning

So tired, so thirsty

Only with the * picture * book did Liu Qian quickly dismiss this thought. In the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and it seemed that a thunderstorm was approaching. Although thunderstorms can provide drinking water, they also bring terrifying lightning. The enormous billboard on which Liu Qian was seated lacked a lightning protection device, as it itself resembled a lightning rod, standing independently in the center of the square, likely to attract lightning to itself.

Even if they were delayed during that time, it was nothing more than a beautiful zombie that rushed towards them first

When God opens a window for him, He indeed also closes a door

After being rescued by a helicopter from Mount Everest, Liu Qian had his limbs amputated in the hospital; both arms and both legs were removed. Fortunately, his family was wealthy, allowing him to have the most advanced mechanical alloy prosthetics installed. The current technology for prosthetics is still somewhat limited, and Liu Qian spent a long time training just to barely adapt to controlling the prosthetics, but it was merely adaptation.

The question is, facing thousands of zombies encircled beneath the billboard from all directions, what must he do to leave the square and reach those streets?

As he looked at the zombies howling all around, Liu Qian let out a long sigh towards the sky, reflecting on how unpredictable and bizarre life's circumstances can be. A year ago, he had entered the lowest point of his life, having lost his hands and feet, and now, having finally regained them, he found himself trapped in such a dire and even desperate situation

Liu Qian touched his hands, then his legs and feet, and even took off his shirt to examine his arms. His prosthetic limbs were indeed all gone, replaced by intact hands and feet, perfectly connected to his body

At the same time, he is also an avid mountaineer. Last year, while Liu Qian and his brother were about to reach the summit of Mount Everest, they suddenly encountered a snowstorm. His sleeping bag was inexplicably lost, and after falling asleep in the tent, he woke up to find that his hands and feet had lost all sensation

Liu Qian made an effort to calm himself, and after regaining some strength, his mind began to race. Since he had survived, he must find a way to continue living. He believed that there is always a way out, and he would surely find a way to leave this place

In fact, even if mutated zombies appear, players still have a chance. As long as they do not focus solely on fleeing in all directions, but instead work together to attack, they can still severely injure the zombies. Then, before a horde forms, they can pry open the manhole cover on the plaza ground and escape from below.

After carefully recalling and reflecting on everything that happened after entering the game, Liu Qian realized that the game did provide players with a period of adaptation; it was just that they did not seize the opportunity. For instance, when ten players appeared in the square, the number of zombies in the square was not too many, and at that time, they could have quietly left the square and found a relatively safe place to hide.

If such an event were to occur, one can easily imagine the fate that would befall Liu Qian, who is seated atop it

Will it rain? Liu Qian looked up at the sky, and the thunder and lightning at the horizon seemed to be getting closer. The heavy rain over there should soon reach this side, right? Rain can provide drinking water, which could alleviate Liu Qian's current predicament of extreme thirst

Liu Qian felt that he needed to learn from these lessons. In future actions, he must remain calm. Even if he was trapped on this billboard, as long as he did not panic and thought calmly, he still had the possibility of finding a way to escape successfully from here
