Chapter 37 - Being Watched!

Han Gui and the rest of the players boarded the train underground after descending past the villa basement door. He gave his team a look, and the two girls nodded slightly.

There was an H-Virus vial on the train, so Han Gui and the other two girls naturally knew what was going on. Suddenly, a muffled sound came from one of the carriages.

They turned around and saw another storyline character, the culprit that caused the biochemical virus to leak, Dr. Smith, holding the H-Virus vial at the end of the train.

Han Gui started for the back of the train, passing by a few storyline characters. Seeing that Han Gui had suddenly made a move, more than ten players immediately surrounded him.

“Do you know something? We are all players. If you know something, why don’t you share it with us? Nobody wants to die. The zombie world is the most dangerous place. Don’t make us force you.”

Han Gui looked coldly at the players.

“I don’t know anything, but I’m a cautious person. My advice is to check the front of the train.

“Oh, and one more thing. I have a few high-explosive grenades. I wonder how many of you will die here if I set three of them off?”

The group of players was so scared when they heard him that they took a step back. They looked at Han Gui coldly and Han Gui looked back fearlessly.

“Hmph! Let’s check if there are any other dangers on the train. To the front and roof of the train!”

Han Gui sneered as he watched the players move away. He glanced at Xinyue and said, “The points for killing zombies are too little. And I don’t think the points for Lickers are easy to earn.”

Xinyue and Aria nodded with sparkling eyes. They didn’t say anything, but they understood what Han Gui meant.

With Han Gui blocking the way and threatening them, the group of players naturally did not dare to come over and provoke them. The special task force, on the other hand, looked at Han Gui with some interest.

“Captain, I have a feeling that there’s something wrong with these people.”

“Don’t worry so much. Our mission is to find out what exactly happened in the basement and to shut down the Red Queen.” The captain warned his team as his gaze swept over their surroundings.

At the back of the train, Han Gui was standing by the railing. After looking around, he finally found the H-Virus vial that Dr. Smith had hidden in the corner.

The moment his palm touched it, a notification popped up in Han Gui’s mind.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the hidden mission. You have obtained an H-Virus vial box. The reward is 1,000 points.]

[Ding! 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 10,000 points.]

Han Gui was excited. He only wanted to obtain the H-Virus vial, not for himself but to be sold for points. Little did he expect to have completed a hidden quest and obtained ten times the reward. In an instant, he had received 10,000 points.

Xinyue noticed an oddity in Han Gui’s expression.

“Brother Han Gui, are you okay?”

He turned to look at Xinyue. The sight of her beautiful face only made him happier.

“I feel great. I just want to ‘eat’ you up right now.”

“Ugh, pervert!”

After glaring at Han Gui, Xinyue knew without a doubt that Han Gui must have received some benefits.

Aria saw Han Gui and Xinyue flirting with each other. She looked at the black backpack in his hands. Based on his earlier expression, he must have received something from the system. She could not help but admire him.

Han Gui placed the black backpack into his bag, turned around, and walked back into the carriage without looking at the number of vials in it.

The fast-moving train finally arrived at a platform.

Seeing that everyone had gotten off the train, Han Gui glanced at the time and said, “We only have two and a half hours, so be careful. Also, not only do we have to be careful of zombies, but we also have to be careful of those players. If there’s a chance, we should attack them directly. Otherwise, we might die and never have another chance.

“Xinyue, Aria, use your abilities well. Here’s a silencer as well, Put it to good use.”

Han Gui handed the silencer that he had prepared to Xinyue and Alicia and led them off the train.

There were many boxes of goods on the platform. They went around the boxes and followed the special task force to the entrance of the basement. One of the members cut the door open as the captain announced to the players.

“Members of the ASS special task force, it’s your turn.”

The group of players looked at each other. They knew that they couldn’t just be sitting ducks, so they held onto their submachine guns and walked toward the door. At the same time, they made sure to not let Han Gui and his gang get away.

“You guys come too.”

Han Gui put on his gas mask and walked over. There was no danger yet, not at this point, at least based on the plot he knew. The real danger lay in shutting down the Red Queen and the subsequent zombie crisis.

The moment they stepped through the door, the lights turned on and they happened upon a strange scene in the dimly lit underground. They found themselves facing many tall buildings with people looking out the window curiously at them. They could even hear police sirens.

Weren’t they a few hundred meters underground?

But Han Gui had long known about and expected this, so he was not in the mood to listen to others’ speculations and confusion. He quietly waited to make his next move.

Just like the plot, the elevator had long been disabled. Han Gui and his group led the way. They went down several flights of stairs, bypassed the laboratory, and finally arrived at Restaurant B.

More than a dozen members of the special task force looked at the huge containers in front of them in confusion. They had no idea what was going on, and the players were even more confused. Only Han Gui and Aria looked at each other, immediately knowing what was going on.

This was indeed Restaurant B but in a different sense. These containers were filled with the most terrifying creatures, Lickers.

Han Gui’s expression had turned a little solemn. These monsters had very high Strength levels – at least 5 points – and agility. The worst part was that the more living things they ate, the stronger they became.

With the Lickers’ level of strength, the steel plates could be easily blown open.

While Han Gui was observing the containers, the captain said, “Members of the ASS special task force. We will be doing a sweep to search and inspect. Keep an eye on the researchers. The rest of you, follow me. We have to shut down the Red Queen.”

The division of troops, the turning point at Restaurant B, the zombie crisis, and the root of all dangers.
