Chapter 125 The game begins

Looking at Cai Yi, who had disappeared for a day, Zhang Ye was puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "The game is about to start, where have you been all day?"

Caiyi smiled slightly and said mysteriously, "I went to do something."

Even the system was unaware of this. A day in advance, she gathered together those who were willing or unwilling to participate in the game and briefly explained the game's content to them.

This way, everyone is prepared, which is much better than being caught off guard and scrambling to get started in the game.

In City A of the post-apocalyptic survival game, the infected creatures have evolved to an absurd degree.

Even the slightest movement could attract the attention of the infected organism.

In the original storyline, it was because a player entered the game and suddenly screamed in fright that a large number of infected creatures were attracted, resulting in the death of more than half of the players at the very beginning of the game.

Cai Yi placed the prepared items on the table and said to Zhang Ye, "Put these in your backpack."

He then added, "I already taught you how to use these items a couple of days ago, you shouldn't have forgotten, right?"

Zhang Ye nodded, his eyes sparkling with excitement, as if he had forgotten the fear of the past few days.

After all, in ordinary life, how often would he have the opportunity to come into contact with such real firearms?

For any man, firearms are a fascinating and mysterious thing.

The game was scheduled for 8 p.m. Caiyi looked up at the clock on the wall and realized there were still ten minutes until it started.

He couldn't help but wonder if Wei Yan could arrive in time.

Just then, Wei Yan appeared at the door.

Wei Yan was dressed in tattered military green clothes, and her cold face had small scabs and scars.

His eyes were as cold as ice. After coldly sweeping across the entire room, he leaned against the door frame and closed his eyes.

He was clearly exhausted. On his way to the game, he had reviewed the storyline and knew it by heart.

Now she just wants to take a short break in these ten minutes.

Cai Yi noticed Wei Yan's tattered military green clothes, then looked at his own brand-new military uniform and couldn't help but chuckle.

Wei Yan has always maintained the image of a reserved and noble young master, but I never expected him to be so disheveled today.

Wei Yan opened her eyes, glanced at her briefly, then closed them again, too exhausted to argue with her any further.

That's just childish.

Ten minutes passed quickly, and everyone vanished from their spot in an instant.

In City A, there is a dilapidated high-rise building.

Caiyi tightly covered Li Yue's mouth, glaring at her fiercely with wide eyes, his voice low and threatening: "If you dare to scream, I'll throw you out of that broken window right now!"

At this moment, the nine of them were in a dilapidated office building. Several of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office building were broken, and there were still black scratches left by dried blood on them.

This sudden situation made Wei Yan's nerves tense instantly. He raised his head and carefully observed his surroundings, then slowly walked to the drafty windowsill and looked down.

Below, there was a dense mass of emaciated infected creatures, huddled together, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Wei Yan's expression turned serious, and he raised his hand to signal the others to carefully retreat.

"Let's go to the rooftop."

Wei Yan lowered her voice and asked Zhang Ye for the pathfinder and rope.

It was done secretly, without being discovered by anyone else.

The excitement on Zhang Ye's face vanished instantly. After all, no one could remain calm after seeing the dense mass of rotting, emaciated creatures below and smelling the nauseating, pungent stench.

Wei Yan led the way at the front of the group, Cai Yi brought up the rear, and the other seven walked orderly in the middle.

Caiyi gained a new understanding of the system's cruelty; this system was so heartless that it didn't even spare a young child.

Li Xin is Ren Tangyi's child, still an infant in swaddling clothes, who hasn't even learned to walk yet.

At this moment, Ren Tangyi tightly covered the child's mouth, afraid that he would make any sound.

Fortunately, the child was very well-behaved. He only made a couple of soft "ee-ya" sounds out of discomfort and moved his hands and feet a little before calming down.

Li Huai carefully protected Li Yue, who was gradually calming down, and followed closely behind Wei Yan.

Cheng Xin followed the others in silence, her expression remarkably calm, second only to Wei Yan.

As for Caiyi... well, because she ate too much before the game started, she was so new to the place that she almost vomited from the stench, so her complexion was naturally not very good.

Baili Tu followed behind Cheng Xin, his face clearly showing fear, and his body trembling slightly.

Caiyi couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that he might suddenly run away, causing a commotion and unnecessary trouble.

Fortunately, the group eventually arrived at the office building's entrance without incident.

Wei Yan looked at the door, which was blocked by clutter and locked, and ultimately decided not to open it.

Instead, he turned to Zhang Ye and asked in a low voice, "Do you think it's safe to drive?"

Zhang Ye opened his mouth to speak, but was warned by the system.

System: [Host is prohibited from revealing game plot details. Violation will result in a reward of being hunted down by an S-rank zombie.]

Zhang Ye immediately shut up, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

However, Zhang Ye's expression confirmed to Wei Yan that there were indeed dangerous infected creatures behind the door.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, no one would seal off the only exit like this.

Wei Yan stared calmly at the broken window.

He pulled out a rope, tied it tightly around his body, and after ensuring his safety, he took out a small detector.

The detector is shaped like a large bee, and it is the latest result of the laboratory's research.

Wei Yan put on a special pair of glasses that allowed him to share the same field of vision as the giant bees.

He carefully observed his surroundings, counted the number of infected creatures, assessed the potential danger of the hiding place, and silently calculated his next move.

He turned his head and solemnly whispered an order to Cai Yi: "Until I return, these people are absolutely not allowed to make any rash moves."

During the mission, Caiyi knew this was not the time for jokes, so she nodded solemnly and didn't argue.

Wei Yan took a deep breath, gripped the rope tightly, and slid down to the next level.

He nimbly swung his body in the air, accurately found the broken window, and gracefully swung inside.

However, as soon as they entered the room, a putrid stench hit them.

Wei Yan looked closely and saw several ferocious-looking, foul-smelling infected creatures lunging at him.

Without hesitation, he nimbly dodged the attack, then suddenly struck, cleanly snapping the neck of one of the infected creatures.

Wei Yan also quickly dealt with the other infected creatures lurking in the shadows.

After eliminating the threat, Wei Yan sharply scanned her surroundings, thoroughly checking the entire floor inside and out.
