Chapter 10: Infection

If you have not been infected, it is very likely that your body has developed natural antibodies against this virus; perhaps you are the key to ending this disaster... The woman looked at Liu Qian and began to mutter again

Now it is Liu Qian's turn to be completely baffled

I am a gamer. I was just teleported here an hour ago, and I haven't been bitten by any zombies, so how could I be infected?

We only wish to save this world ... ... " A look of sorrow appeared in the woman's eyes, as her relatives, friends, and former colleagues had all turned into zombies. She had escaped this calamity while on a mission at sea, but upon her return, everything she once knew had changed beyond recognition.

"You just mentioned that you are sailing. Is it true that we are not far from the coast and that there is a fleet nearby? If something were to happen to you here, they should send a helicopter to search and rescue you, right?" Liu Qian recalled something and asked the woman a few more questions.

Save ... ... me ... ...

"Why weren't you infected? How did you survive?" The woman took the initiative to ask Liu Qian.

"The Trembling World game has encountered a problem, and players are trapped here, unable to exit the game. Are you sent by the game company to resolve the issue?" Liu Qian asked the woman again.

Only after pulling the female staff member up did Liu Qian realize that a sharp metal shard had pierced her body, though it was unclear whether it was from the helicopter or the iron frame of the billboard, directly penetrating her waist, which was also the main reason for the significant blood loss from her body

I have certainly been living here all along. This time, we took a helicopter to look for some usable equipment in that building. Just as the rain stopped, we were preparing to fly back, but shortly after takeoff, I thought I saw someone on the billboard, which is why we flew back... The woman looked at Liu Qian with curiosity, sensing that there was something off about their conversation.

"You just landed, and you intend to take me to your laboratory to be a guinea pig, right?" Liu Qian looked at the woman, feeling somewhat annoyed; his earlier suspicions had indeed been correct.

The woman stared at Liu hetushu .com .com Qian as if she were looking at a mental patient, remaining silent for a long time.

Liu Qian, still shaken, crawled back onto the remnants of the billboard's iron frame, watching the helicopter that had landed dozens of meters away, trembling uncontrollably. Just a moment ago, he had been filled with hope, thinking that he was finally rescued and could leave the billboard, but the next moment, this trembling world dealt him a heavy blow. Not only was he unable to be saved, but the helicopter that was preparing to rescue him also met with misfortune, struck down from the sky by a lightning bolt.

Liu Qian cautiously climbed along the broken iron frame of the billboard, ensuring that the iron frame beneath his feet would not break or collapse. Only after stabilizing his body did he reach out and make an effort to pull the female staff member onto the iron frame.

I am asking you a question! What is going on with this game? You are injured so severely, there is no need to cover up anything for your company. Hundreds of thousands of players are trapped in the game, and San Yu Company cannot hide this any longer. Liu Qian pressed the woman with a few more questions.

"There is nothing wrong with my mind; it is the game that has issues," Liu Qian replied to the woman. However, he could also understand why she would think this way. Since she was an NPC in the game world, she could not possibly comprehend what it meant for a player like him to be transported from another world to play the game here.

A fire ignited inside the helicopter fuselage, but it did not explode immediately. The fearless zombies immediately trampled over the mangled bodies of their companions and crawled into the helicopter fuselage, searching for fresh flesh and blood inside.

"You are neither a gamer nor a member of a game company, nor have you just been transported here; you have always lived here, in this world, correct?" Liu Qian attempted to ask the woman again.

I do not understand what you are saying..." The woman looked at Liu Qian in confusion

Isn't it too blind of the heavens? So many lightning strikes in front did not hit the billboard, all were attracted to the tall buildings. Just when the thunderstorm had weakened, a lightning bolt appeared out of nowhere and struck the helicopter that was preparing to rescue him

It seems that there is something wrong with your mind... However, it is not surprising, given that such a terrifying event has occurred... The woman appeared to understand something, and speculated a few sentences on her own

I do not know what you are talking about with the library. Perhaps the simulation games are projects from another department? I work in the biochemical laboratory. Before the blood rain, we were conducting an ocean voyage. I did not expect that upon returning, the world would have changed like this.

Liugan, staring in shock and fear at the helicopter covered in zombies, suddenly heard a faint cry for help coming from the iron frame on the other side of the billboard. He quickly turned his gaze towards the source of the sound and discovered a female employee from San Yu Company, who was hanging there, gripping the iron frame with both hands.

What is it? The woman furrowed her brows, her complexion began to pale, and her wound was continuously bleeding.

As the helicopter was about to land, a spinning rotor blade swept horizontally towards Liu Qian, who was suspended from the remnants of the billboard's iron frame. In a critical moment, Liu Qian made a desperate effort to bend his waist and hooked his feet onto the remnants of the billboard's iron frame. The helicopter's rotor blade, with immense force, grazed Liu Qian's back, and then, along with the helicopter's body, it rolled down to the ground beneath the billboard, sending dozens of zombies flying. After that, it rolled forward for several dozen meters. Then, along with the helicopter's body, it rolled down to the ground beneath the billboard, sending dozens of zombies flying, and then rolled forward for several dozen meters.

After being pulled up by Liu Qian onto the incomplete advertising billboard's iron frame, the woman appeared to be in considerable pain, yet her mental state seemed relatively normal

Are you the GM of the game? Liu Qian asked the woman.

Not only has he not been rescued, but those people in the helicopter are also likely in grave danger. Even if they have not died from the crash, they have probably already become a delicacy for those zombies.

Are you an NPC in the game? Liu Qian seemed to understand a bit more.

The San Yu Company, which develops games, created the game "Tremor World" displayed on this billboard. I am a player of the game, and I am currently trapped inside it and unable to exit... Liu Qian showed the woman his wristwatch and then asked her a few questions.

The woman glanced at Liu Qian, clearly not understanding the meaning of his question

Forget it. Liu Qian shook his head, unsure of what to say.

Liu Qian recognized her; she was the one who had thrown the rope ladder to him from the helicopter. She was covered in blood, likely having fallen out of the helicopter during its collision with the billboard, or having jumped out herself and then hung onto the damaged iron frame of the billboard.
