Chapter 5: Free Running

In the center of the square, there is a frenzied mutated zombie, while a large number of zombies are gathering and advancing from all around the square. The players, however, are armed only with machetes and iron rods

What the heck! Is it really necessary to play like this? We just got here and we're already facing a BOSS? At least we should have a beginner's village or something to get accustomed to it first? Liu Qian looked at the enormous mutated zombie charging towards him, feeling a bit of a chill run down his spine

Liu Qian, who escaped back to the square, did not return to the side of the young man with green skin. After observing his surroundings, he quickly rushed to the base of the towering giant billboard and climbed up using both his hands and feet along the supporting iron columns of the billboard.

The bespectacled man who had been closely following Liu Qian was left dumbfounded upon reaching the billboard, staring at the iron pillar... Who on earth is this person? They can even climb up such an iron pillar?

"It's late," the young man with a greenish complexion replied to Liu Qian while gazing in a certain direction.

After the young man in green and Liu Qian escaped, the others also reacted immediately and began to flee behind them. Even the three injured players could not afford to scream and frantically followed the other players in their escape

Others looked at the miserable state of the three individuals, becoming even more confused and panicked. This game, so real and capable of causing bleeding and pain, does not allow players to quit even if they no longer wish to participate! What if they were bitten as well? Would they not suffer the same pain as these three?

Liu Qian ran headlong into a group of over a dozen zombies gathering in the distance. With no way to escape, he had no choice but to retreat along the same path. A surge of frustration welled up within him, making him want to curse. He had just entered the game, and already faced a BOSS battle and a horde of zombies. Did they expect players to be wiped out immediately upon entering the game? They didn't even allow any time to adapt? Is the game developer out of their mind with such a setting?

The zombies in the streets surrounding the square immediately surged in response to the commotion, converging from all directions towards the square, effectively blocking all possible escape routes

Others, as if awakening from a dream, hesitated for a moment before each choosing a direction and fleeing towards the square's exit. Liu Qian also chose a different direction to escape, but the bespectacled player closely followed Liu Qian, perhaps believing that Liu Qian's quick thinking and response would increase the chances of survival.

As Liu Qian began to run, he, who had already become accustomed to walking with prosthetics in the real world, struggled to maintain his balance, stumbling a few steps and nearly falling to the ground. He was quickly pulled a few meters away by the young man with green skin, but soon Liu Qian regained the sensation he had experienced when he was a normal person, and his running speed increased, allowing him to gradually catch up with the fleeing young man ahead.

The Molotov cocktail exploded with a loud bang, creating a sea of flames in front of the mutated zombie. The mutated zombie was engulfed in flames, turning into a fireball from the gasoline splashed by the Molotov cocktail, but this seemed to have no effect on it. Instead, it became even more enraged, taking several large strides forward to raise its two meaty fists and violently smash down on the bald man who couldn't escape in time, instantly knocking him to the ground

"Do not follow me! Split up and run! Otherwise, no one will survive!" The young man with a greenish complexion shouted at the others behind him with great experience. In an open area, encountering such a super BOSS and running together would surely lead to total annihilation. By splitting up, each person has a certain chance of survival, while the one targeted by the BOSS who cannot escape can only consider themselves unfortunate.

In the next moment, before anyone else could react, the young man with green skin and Liu Qian had already slipped away, fleeing into the distance. These ten players could hardly be considered a team; ensuring one's own survival in the game was undoubtedly the most important thing.

The zombies outside the square quickly closed in. The bespectacled man gritted his teeth and attempted to climb the iron pole, mimicking Liu Qian's actions, hoping to follow him up. Unfortunately, this task proved to be more challenging than he had imagined. The iron pole was thick and slippery, and after struggling for quite some time, he managed to ascend to less than one meter off the ground. At that moment, two zombies had already rushed to the base of the pole, reaching out to pull him down, and then opened their gaping mouths to bite at his neck

The bald man only had time to curse once before being blown to a pile of charred flesh by the combined attack of a grenade and a Molotov cocktail.

After all, they were just a group of gamers who often stayed indoors. Once they realized there was no way to escape, some of the players who had not yet been stunned by fear immediately gathered around the green-skinned man at https://m.hetushucomcom, throwing grenades and Molotov cocktails together at the mutated zombie.

What the hell! You guys can't do this!" The bald man, who was being beaten to the ground by mutated zombies, shouted angrily. What kind of people are these? Not only is he lying here, with no one coming to save him, but they are also throwing grenades and Molotov cocktails at him!

It is very dangerous in the square, let us quickly find a safe place to hide and discuss our next plan! Liu Qian said to the others, then glanced at the young man with a greenish complexion.

Liu Qian's suggestion indeed came a bit late, and as soon as he finished speaking, a gigantic monster emerged from the corner of a building at the edge of the square, possibly a mutated zombie or something similar. It stood three to four meters tall, with no skin, its bulging muscles exposed, clearly drawn here by the horrific screams of the three people just moments ago

Moreover, if this continues, it will truly result in fatalities

"Everyone, stop running around! There are zombies everywhere! We can't escape! If you have grenades or Molotov cocktails, take the chance while it's busy killing to blow it up! Burn it! Otherwise, none of us will survive!" The young man with green skin was also forced back from outside the square. Realizing the dire situation, he immediately shouted to the other players who had fled back.

There is fundamentally no hope of survival to be seen

Upon seeing the players in the square, the mutated zombie let out a roar and then charged over here with large strides. Its massive size caused the ground to tremble as it ran.

The bald man, who was heavily injured and fell to the back, found himself in a bit of misfortune. No matter how he adjusted his direction, that mutated zombie relentlessly pursued him, which left him greatly alarmed. He quickly stopped, turned around, and threw the Molotov cocktail in his hand at the mutated zombie.

There are already three injured individuals on the scene, and they are continuously screaming in agony. The square is completely unobstructed, with no buildings or cover to provide players with a place to hide, except for the towering billboard supported by a single iron pillar. The cries of the injured will only attract more zombies, making it meaningless to remain here

Finally, I can run again. Although I feel quite nervous, Liu Qian, as a person with a disability, is inexplicably excited at this moment. It has been more than a year since I have been able to run freely like this, hasn't it
