Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio “This…” “Can someone tell me what happened here?” On the small slope outside the prison, Lu Yu and Zhou Yi were shocked. Where were the zombies? They had worked hard to complete the mission and finally bought the earth-made bombs from the apocalypse merchant. They were about to come back and blow a hole in the prison’s barbed wire fence to release the zombies. Everything was ready. But where were the zombies? Where did the zombies go? The entire prison was empty. Not even half of the zombies could be seen. Could it be… Although Lu Yu already had the answer in his head, he still couldn’t help but ask Zhou Yi for confirmation. “Could it be that someone cleaned up this prison area and took over this prison for themselves?” Lu Yu felt that this was the closest answer to the truth. Zhou Yi didn’t say anything. He stood on the small slope in a daze, his eyes a little dull. Lu Yu nudged Zhou Yi. “Ah Yi! Wake Up! Wake up quickly.” “Ha.” Zhou Yi came back to his senses. His mouth was bitter as he smiled self-mockingly. Were all the players so strong these days? They could single-handedly take care of so many zombies? Or was he too weak? He had been dealt too many blows in the past few days! Now, even the prison mission that he had been planning for so long was taken away by someone! What a disgrace! Zhou Yi felt that he was struck by a blow. He even began to seriously doubt himself. He felt that he should not have chosen the new server’s zombie apocalypse as the company’s new goal. “Boss, don’t worry. Even if someone cleaned up the prison square, the mission might not have been triggered yet.” Seeing that Zhou Yi didn’t look right, Lu Yu hurriedly tried to console him. “Building No. 3 is also very dangerous. No matter how fast that player is, he can’t possibly clean up both the prison square and Building No. 3 together!” “Yes, you’re right!” Zhou Yi patted his cheeks to cheer himself up. He hadn’t lost yet! He couldn’t afford to lose! Now, his entire company was betting on this game. Failure meant that all the years of hard work had been in vain and the family business had been destroyed in his hands. It wasn’t time to admit defeat yet! Zhou Yi forced himself to cheer up. “Let’s go into Building No. 3 together and check it out. Confirm that inside…” Zhou Yi stopped mid-sentence. He saw that a window on the second floor of Building No. 3 had been opened from inside. Then, a chubby head popped out from inside. It was a survivor! He stuck his head out from the window in boredom and looked out at the scenery. He held a skewer of grilled meat in his left hand and a bottle of beer in his right hand. He looked like he had nothing to worry about. Seeing this, Zhou Yi fell into silence once again. The confidence that he had just built up was instantly destroyed by more than half. Lu Yu was also unable to say anything for a long time. Now, they could be sure that not only the entire prison square, even Building No. 3 had been completely cleaned up by a group of players… Moreover, this group of people were living quite comfortably. “Cheer up, Boss!” “Even so, it can only mean that they cleaned up Building No. 3!” “We still have a chance! What if they didn’t find the diary left by the prison officers?” “That thing was hidden so well, Building No. 3 is so big and there are so many cabinets on the second floor. Ordinary people wouldn’t even think of going to the mezzanine.” Yes, there was still hope. “I haven’t lost yet!” Zhou Yi raised his head again and muttered to himself as if he was trying to convince himself. “Come, let’s go in and talk to the people inside.” The two of them walked down the slope and waved at Liao Bufan at the window on the second floor. Liao Bufan saw the two sneaky people, threw away the beer bottle and jumped off the platform on the second floor. He carefully walked forward and asked through the three layers of barbed wire. “Hey, you two have been watching over there for a long time, right? What are you here for?” Zhou Yi adjusted his emotions and stood outside the barbed wire to maintain a safe distance from Liao Bufan. “Hello, we have no bad intentions. I am the boss of Soaring Gaming Technology Company. I happened to pass by here and want to discuss a collaboration with your boss. Is your boss inside now?” In his heart, Zhou Yi had already tacitly acknowledged that the other party was a gaming company or a player guild team. Zhou Yi frowned. “Eh? Boss? You’re here to look for Fang Heng?” Fang Heng!? This name shocked Zhou Yi and Lu Yu. It was him? That God? What the hell! So it wasn’t a gaming company! It was God! He cleared out the entire prison! But on second thought, it made sense. Besides him, who else could empty the entire prison square and the zombies in Building No. 3? Zhou Yi felt bitter in his heart. After all this time, it was still him. Lu Yu had an idea and quickly replied. “Right, right, right. We’re all friends of Fang Heng. I’ve added him as a friend before. My name is Lu Yu.” Liao Bufan rolled his eyes. He turned on his survival radio and sent an emergency message to Fang Heng. Coincidentally, Fang Heng was still in the prison today. Liao Bufan: “Fang Heng, someone said that they’re from some company and they’re here to work with you. One of them said that he’s your friend, Lu Yu.” Fang Heng: “There is such a person. Take them to the sentry cabin first. I’ll be right there.” After receiving Fang Heng’s confirmation, Liao Bufan nodded to Lu Yu and Fang Heng. “Alright then, follow me to the cabin.” Liao Bufan said as he took out a pistol from his backpack and pointed it at the cabin on the side. “Let’s be clear, don’t try to play any tricks!” When he saw Liao Bufan taking out the pistol, Zhou Yi’s heart jumped. Gun! He turned to look at Lu Yu. It was a gun! The mission that they had spent money to buy stated that the reward for completing the first stage of the prison’s hidden mission was a pistol! Lu Yu did not notice Zhou Yi’s gaze and asked in surprise, “You, you already have a gun?” “Hehe, not bad, right? I found it in the prison.” When Zhou Yi heard that, his face turned ashen and he could not say a word. It was over! It was all over! The prison guard’s diary must have been discovered. What was worse was that they had even completed the first stage of the mission and found the safe that the prison guard had left behind. All their efforts over the past few days had been in vain… Lu Yu’s smile was abnormally awkward. “Then… Then you guys are amazing.” “Hehe, isn’t that right?” The surprised expressions on the two people’s faces made Liao Bufan feel quite pleased. These two days, he had also been greatly triggered by Fang Heng. He needed to find a place to vent his frustration and calm his mind. These two people were not bad at all. Liao Bufan continued to brag about himself. “Good fellow, you guys don’t know that this prison is not that simple. There is a basement inside.” The expression on both Lu Yu and Zhou Yi changed in unison. Basement! The basement of the second stage of the mission was extremely difficult. One had to pass through a long passageway in the basement. Could it be… Could it be that he has already started working on the second stage of the mission?
