Chapter 96: Chapter 96 – Survival
After a few minutes, she expressed her discoveries.
"It seems that the game intentionally put players in the town center at the start of the game, where the largest number of zombies spawn. If they decide to stay, they will soon get overwhelmed by the number of zombies and die. Experienced players recommend taking some risks at the start, leaving the initial house, and finding a place to stay on the outskirts of town or even out of the city."
"Ah, so that was it. How vicious."
"No wonder the horde of zombies around the house grew larger every day."
"Now that we know this, the next game will be much easier."
"Right. Of course, they still recommend building a wall and some defenses for our base. And also to craft or find weapons to take care of large hordes of zombies, like Molotov cocktails or shotguns, as well as getting a car to make it easier to move around the map."
By midnight in reality, they finished their first month in the game with things going quite well. They decided to stop here and regrouped one last time in the living room, happily discussing the game, what they did well and what they could have done better as well as what they should do next. Seeing everyone enjoying themselves together in family put a smile on their mother's and grandmother's faces. They whispered to each other for a bit while grinning and looking at the children. It was also the first time Benjamin saw everyone so sincerely cheerful and he thought that inviting them to do something together had been the correct choice.
After a lot more discussions and talks about strategies and things they could try, they finally decided to go to sleep when Chloe started having trouble keeping her eyes open.
"It was super fun, we should do this another time."
"I agree. Sometimes, it's good to have a large family. We had people for each type of job."
"We had great teamwork going on here. Call me next time if you want to play again."
"Thank you Olivia for choosing such an interesting game."
"You're welcome. I had a lot of fun too."
They all went back up the stairs and separated to go to their respective rooms. Benjamin changed into pajamas and fell asleep almost as soon as he laid down on the bed, tired after a very fulfilling day.
