Chapter 111 - Survival Game - Part 1

Huo Shihong, the Leader of the Flame Castle, the faction who was in charge of the south area of SZ Establishment.

Slam!

Crack!

He slammed the table hard upon hearing the news that his nephew was dead the moment he just came back from killing the zombies. Just like the spider web, the crack started to spread out on the table.

His eyes turned bloodshot and glared at his trusted subordinate who reported the news to him. Fan Ru lowered his head, he had known Huo Shihong for a long time, even before the disaster struck. So he was familiar with his Boss, at his current state, you should just listen and do whatever Huo Shihong ordered him to do.

However, to his surprise, Huo Shihong did not flare up and cursed him. He leaned back against the chair and released out a long breath.

He closed his eyes and rubbed his temple for a while before he opened his eyes again, "You have found my nephew's killer, right?" It was the voice of someone who tried to suppress his anger. Fan Ru could tell that from the voice.

"We have identified the killer but we haven't caught him," Fan Ru told what happened honestly, he did not leave a single detail including the motive why Huo Shihong was killed.

"That B*stard! He died because of his stupidity," Huo Shihong cursed his nephew out loud. Of course, he had heard a lot of his nephew's misdeeds by using the Flame Castle name. But all this time, his nephew never crossed his line, he never touched the people in the inner area.

After cursing his nephew, he looked at the paper. Fan Ru gave him the details of his nephew's killer in the paper. He picked the paper and read the details.

"Interesting, a young man and a woman in her twenties," Huo Shihong muttered in a low voice, "They can afford 20k coins to buy a big house and that moron tried to seize his woman? At least, bring the elite team, you idiot!"

Twenty thousand GC, meaning this young man had at least killed twenty thousand stage-1 zombies. However, his nephew only brought nine normal guards to assist his misdeeds. That was why he cursed his nephew.

"Have you dispatched people to track them?" Huo Shihong placed the paper back on the table and asked Fan Ru, "Yes, I have dispatched two Elite Flame units to chase the killer. Just now they reported the killer is running to SH City, and now they are chasing the killer to SH City,"

"Hmmm, send the available Wolves Flame to chase the killer. I won't let this guy live after killing Huo Shihong's nephew!" He sent an order to Fan Ru, however, the latter was surprised when he heard Wolves Flame. It was the strongest unit in the Flame Castle, Fan Ru did not expect his Boss would send the Wolves Flame to chase a couple.

Fan Ru wanted to say something but he decided to not speak when he met Huo Shihong's glare. He nodded his head to the Boss, "I will immediately inform Wolves Flame to meet with Elite Flame!" After that, Fan Ru excused himself from the room, leaving his Boss alone.

"SH City… SH City…" Huo Shihong muttered in a low voice. Before Fan Ru reported about his nephew, he had received a report that the team he placed on SH City to guard the SH Hospital was wiped out.

"I have to visit the hospital myself,"

The others on the table looked at Ding Hao. None of them agreed to his idea yet but everyone wanted to hear out the plan. He had put the bait on, now it was time to convince these people.

"As you know, the Boss of this base is ruthless and overbearing. He does not care about our well being, at all. So, my plan is we persuade the others to join our group and we will march together to the military base later," Ding Hao has not gone with his full plan. He just told them the big picture of his plan.

Zhang Wen completely stopped eating. After a moment of silence, he put the chopsticks down on the tray of his food and left. No refusal, no words, he just left with his food to another table.

He switched the table and continued eating the meal like he heard nothing. Ding Hao tried to call him out, but Zhang When was turned into a deaf-ear. He drank the water and continued to eat.

Ding Hao was about to chase after Zhang Wen but to his surprise, everyone was running away from the table. He saw even a few nurses did not finish their meals as they immediately left the cafeteria.

"Huh!?" He was confused as to why the people suddenly left the base. Only two men stayed behind on the table, while the ex-nurses and the ex-security guard left the table. The two men were the middle-aged men, the ex-head departments in the SH Hospital.

The plan had not even started, no he had not even told them what the plan was, but it had crumbled. With only two middle-aged men who could not also fight, he would not be able to do anything.

'That stupid ass almost gets me killed!' Zhang Wen furiously cursed Ding Hao in his head. He was new to the base, but he had a lot of information from the other survivors. He had gotten the big picture of the base.

The base was running by a proper system. Many divisions had formed as well, but the most important thing was the base itself. A Smart AI was controlling the base which people called the AI Origin.

This Origin had full control of the base, basically, the AI was the base. Meanwhile, Ding Hao tried to riot against the leader of the base so the AI should hear that as well. Their discussion was recorded so he immediately left Ding Hao.

The military Base was surely good, but Zhang Wen found this base was not bad either. He was after all just a security guard before, maybe staying in this base could change his life.

'I have to stay away from that brat, not going to die because of his stupidity…'

Not only Zhang Wen, but the people who left Ding Hao also had the same thoughts. While Ding Hao was oblivious to the AI's existence, everyone knew their every action was being watched by Origin.

The expedition team had spent full noon looking for the mini-game. They checked all buildings they passed, but the result was not that good. They only encountered three mini-games so far. Three more people died from the slave groups, and nine Level 9 chests were collected.

Meanwhile, their destination HZ Bay was becoming closer and closer. The sun was also ready to set, and the convoy made their last stop. Bai Yuan stepped on the brake and without words Tang Shaoyang got out of the car. This was their last stop as the HZ Bai was about fifteen minutes from here.

A group of stage-1 zombies rushed toward the convoy upon detecting the convoy. He ignored the stage-1 zombies and entered the building nearest to him. He broke into a building with a big sign on the top.

Tang Shaoyang found two Crawlers inside. At the sight of Tang Shaoyang, the two stage-2 zombies rushed toward him. He remained unfazed as the Destroyer appeared in his right hand, with just one swing the two stage-2 zombies' bodies split into two.

He stayed for a little longer but he failed to trigger the mini-game. With a sigh, he got out of the building while Kang Xue followed him closely. When he got out of the building, he stopped abruptly. Kang Xue was not expecting him to stop abruptly hence her head bumped into his strong back.

"You should stop following me, and go check the injuries instead," he told the girl to not follow him. Fighting while protecting her was not something he was good at, especially if the enemy he encountered was strong.

"It's okay, I can help you too," Kang Xue waved the scythe in her hand. It was the scythe she got from the Death Scythe. Tang Shaoyang merely shook his head at the girl. Fortunately, he and Kang Xue did not trigger the mini-game.

The team continued searching for the mini-game, but none of them triggered the mini-game too. The luck was not on their side.

When the night came, Tang Shaoyang stopped the search. He called his people to continue their journey to HZ Bay. HZ Bay was a famous residence in SH City, even Tang Shaoyang knew the name.

His ex-Boss would call the residence the place where the conglomerates slept. He did not expect that half of HZ Bay was the military compound. Kang Xue told him that the owner of HZ Bay donated half of it to the military.

With just that simple information, Tang Shaoyang could tell that Kang Xue's family was not just a normal family. Her parents should be a high-rank official in the military.

Fifteen minutes later, the expedition group arrived at the gate to HZ Bay. A big gate layered in gold paint with artistic decoration on it.

The gate was tight closed, and to everyone's surprise, no zombies could be found loitering around the gate. It was just a good-looking gate that blocked their path to enter the residence.

Bai Yuan came down, he scanned the surroundings cautiously. When he reached the gate, he glanced to the inner area beyond the gate. For some reason, the residence gave off a bad feeling. He then tried to open the gate. The gate was not locked and to his surprise, he easily moved the gate with a light push.

After opening the gate, Bai Yuan went back to the car. He stepped on the gas and the car moved forward. Nothing happened, but when the last bus entered the HZ Bay, a notification rang in everyone's head.

[The condition has been met! You have triggered the Survival Game!]
