33: Chapter 22 Intermission Period (Part 1)
On the third day of entering the Survival Challenge Game, thanks to Tang Zheng’s efforts, everyone finally had the chance to sit down and talk in peace.
Of course, Zhao Jingye was still a bit disgruntled, his gloomy face being the best proof of this.
But other than Xu Lu, no one cared about him since everyone was eager to know Tang Zheng’s plans moving forward.
“Before that, I want to ask a question.
How did each of you get into the Silver Trojan Room?” Tang Zheng had wanted to get this information for a long time, but the endless troubles left him no chance or time to ask, “Let me start, I had a bus accident.”
“Did you die?” asked Qin Yan, her thoughts evidently on her own experiences, “Our A380 Airplane seems to have encountered an air disaster.
After the plane crash, I saw Cheng Chen, Zeng Xue, and a few others die.
But when we woke up, we were here.”
Upon hearing this, the stewardesses who were mentioned suddenly shivered, staring at Qin Yan dreadfully.
For the past few days, none of them had wished to bring up this topic for fear of thinking about the fact that they were already dead.
“Don’t look at me like that, as you guess, I’m also dead.
I broke several ribs at the time, and was almost out of breath,” Qin Yan shook her head, obviously not wanting to recall that painful experience, “On our flight, all 525 passengers died, and only ten of us from the crew survived.”
“I should also be dead.
When the bus had an accident, shards of glass shot into my body,” Tang Zheng clenched his right fist, “But now my body is completely unscathed.”
“I remember now.
I was on my way to Mayor Huang’s dinner party when I had a heart attack and didn’t get a chance to take my medication.” Kang Songde put his hand on his chest, saying oddly, “Yet for the past three days, my heart seems perfectly fine.
My body feels as healthy as it did ten years ago.”
“It seems like I was hit by a car.
Wait, that’s right, it was a chain reaction accident caused by a bus.
Brother Tang, could it have been the same bus you were on?” High-schooler Yang Bin looked gloomy, “What a calamity.”
“What about you, Mr.
Maintenance Worker?” Tang Zheng looked at this fellow, guessing that if he didn’t ask, the guy would certainly remain silent.
“I think I got electrocuted when I flipped the breaker.
Where are we, anyway?
I still have to go pick up my kid from kindergarten,” the Maintenance Worker tugged at his hair, looking absolutely distraught.
“You can’t go back now.
Everyone here is dead, so you better get ready for your wife to cheat on you,” the Bald Man mocked the Maintenance Worker, who instantly stood up, staring at him furiously.
“What?
Want to fight?
I’m itching for one,” the Bald Man was not at all afraid of him, “I can crush you with one hand.”
“If you want to fight, I’d be glad to accompany you.
If not, then shut up.” Tang Zheng was now confident enough to challenge the Bald Man.
He wouldn’t mind taking Wu Xudong home with him, even if he was a prisoner.
But he absolutely wouldn’t allow this guy to cause disruption and harm the team’s interests.
“Can’t you take a joke? fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Look how tense everyone is.” The Bald Man grumbled and sat back down.
He knew not to cause a fuss at this moment.
If he was isolated, he wouldn’t be able to survive alone, especially given everyone here found him irritating.
On the other hand, Lin Weiguo had proven his value and established a good relationship with Tang Zheng, evidently winning the trust of the team.
The sight of the pretty young woman, Li Xinlan, happily chatting with Lin Weiguo drove the Bald Man crazy with jealousy.
Despite both of them being prisoners, the gap between them was vast.
“Old Lin, you guys didn’t die too, right?” Qin Yan didn’t seem prejudiced against Lin Weiguo because of his prisoner status.
“Shot dead by the armed police in a small courtyard.” Lin Weiguo told the truth without hiding anything.
He had no intention of explaining himself.
Xu Lu sneered and turned her head away, her facial expression tainted with discomfort.
She decided to avoid these two prisoners in the future.
Those who could be shot and killed by the armed police must have committed serious sins, but she didn’t dare to ask.
“What about you, Captain Zhao?” Li Xinlan asked, her crimson lips slightly curled, towards a visibly uneasy Zhao Jingye.
“I didn’t die.
I was asleep at home and woke up to find myself in the room.”
“Surely you mean you were asleep at someone else’s house?
From the way your eyes are darting around, I can tell you’re lying.
Everyone else died, how could you be the exception?” The Bald Man sneered, “Don’t tell me you died in an embarrassing way, too ashamed to tell us?”
“That’s not the point, Little Tang, what are you thinking.” Kang Songde seemed to play the elder card, but nobody took offense to his attitude.
“We are lucky.
If we survive here, we may be able to return to the real world alive.” Tang Zheng pondered for a moment, then continued, “Many people died in the accident that day, but only Yang Bin and I ended up here, which means, the others have all died.”
“Indeed, out of so many people on the A380, only we ten flight attendants made it.” Bai Guo raised her hand, grinning widely, “If we survive and return, we will have won big time.”
“Is that possible?” Pang Meiqin clearly didn’t accept the fact that she might already be dead.
“Tell me, is it possible for us to be standing in a hotel in Los Angeles in 2020?
And how do you explain the zombies?” Yang Bin was the first to accept the new reality.
The young man wished for a life filled with more excitement and uniqueness, “I actually really like this world.
Killing zombies is fun.
If only Los Angeles is full of zombies once I’ve fortified this hotel and prepared enough weapons, equipment and supplies.”
“You’ve played too much FPS, haven’t you?” Bai Guo retorted, giving him a side-eye.
“You don’t respawn in this place.”
“Right, it’s 2020 here.
I need to look up the lottery numbers from the past few years.
But, the computer in the living room isn’t connected to the internet anymore.
Damn, my chance of making a large fortune has flown away.
If I win the lottery once a week, I’d be a billionaire by the end of the year.” The high school student ignored Bai Guo, showing a face full of regret for not noting down the lieutenant general’s lottery numbers earlier.
“Winning the lottery once every week, you’d be hauled away by the Chinese Academy of Sciences for dissection.
That winning rate is too unbelievable.” Hu Qiong had quite a thick skin, taking the discussion seriously.
“You can try looking for old newspapers or something.
The winners of the 2014 and 2018 World Cup are much easier to predict, and the prize money isn’t bad.” Bai Guo joined the debate, the lady turned out to be a soccer fan.
“And the celebrities, I can get ahead by finding those not yet famous and get their autographs.” Han Li chuckled, “We might even become friends.”
“Yang Bin, you can take the music CDs on the table back.
Many of those songs are Grammy award-winning tracks from recent years.
You can sell them to American record companies in advance, like Warner, Universal and so on.
They won’t let you down with the payments in US dollars.
There are also the bestsellers from the New York Times, published after 2012.
They are all money.
You don’t have to write a word, just send them to the publisher and wait to collect your money.
The royalties alone will bury you.”
Everyone turned to look at Tang Zheng, as his method of making a fortune was definitely the easiest and least strenuous.
Clearly, the direction of his thoughts was different.
“Have you all digressed from the topic?
We’re supposed to be discussing how to survive the remaining twelve days?” Zhao Jingye spoke in a serious tone, finally asking a somewhat valuable question, “How many kinds of zombies are there, do you have the number?”
“Common zombies, hunter zombies, red mutated hunter zombies, bulky tank zombies, these are the ones we’ve encountered so far.” Qin Yan introduced the features of the various zombies, and added a few precautions, “the hearing range limit of common zombies is fifteen meters.
Remember, get any closer and make a slight noise, and you’ll be discovered.”
