Survival Code: Z City

Survival Game

When Andrea brought up this question, both Yard and Laura shook their heads dejectedly. They are also drowning in fear and confusion. Only Ellen remained calm. She was just now starting to approach the three of them and said,

“First of all, let's rest first. Let's wait until tomorrow morning and then recalculate."

“I think what she said makes sense. I'm also not in the mood to think about anything anymore."

Laura was the first to answer. She lazily leaned against the wall behind her. Yard sitting next to him also did not comment. Andrea turned to Ellen and nodded and said,

“Okay then, you should also find a place to rest. I will keep watch. Four hours later we alternate.” “No, let me keep an eye on you. You and the others have already consumed a lot of energy. Be sure to sleep first."

Ellen rarely smiles. But her eyes still could not erase the inherent coldness. Andree didn't pay much attention and agreed. He and Yard chose a corner near the window, then tilted their heads and gradually fell asleep. And Laura was given a cleaner place. She turned her head slightly to look at Ellen sitting near the door. Laura had always felt a little suspicious of this new girl. Or maybe this is just a girl's sensibility?

Before long, Andrea, Yard, and Laura were all fast asleep. They were exhausted after a dangerous day like today. Right after that, Ellen quietly turned around. She raised her deep eyes to the three people in front of her. Suddenly, a thin mist from nowhere appeared. It quickly covered the space in the room. Ellen frowned and gradually lost consciousness. She fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

The next morning Yard was the first to wake up. He was annoyed by the light shining directly on his face. Yard covered his eyes with his hand and slowly adjusted them to the sunlight. After a while, he sat up and panicked as he looked around. The place where he lay was not an office with scattered documents, ramshackle tables, and chairs. This place is a large rocky beach, looking forever can't see the shore. In the crevices of the ground, weeds thrive. A damp smell wafted through the air even though it was morning and the sunlight was blazing. Very murky indeed. Yard is now panicking and looking in all directions. Fortunately, he saw Andrea and Laura lying not far from him. He ran to wake up his two friends.

“Andrea! Laura! Wake up, we've been taken somewhere again. "

Andrea dreamily opened his eyes. Hearing Yard's words immediately woke him up and he sat up. Laura lazily stretched her arms and legs. The mouth is still yawning so ask an incomplete question:

"What did you say?"

"I just woke up and found us lying here."

Yard patiently narrated everything. Both Andrea and Laura looked at each other with wide eyes. There was a surge of anxiety and panic. While everyone was struggling, Ellen limped out of nowhere. She couldn't hide the surprise on her face. Seeing the three of them, Ellen happily tried to run at the fastest speed.

"Hey…"

"Ellen, what's wrong with your leg?" Yard asked worriedly.

“I just woke up and tripped over a rock. It's okay, it's just a sprain. "

Ellen smiled and replied. But her face looks pretty pale. Surely the wound is very painful to have an attitude. Andrea then stood up and adjusted his clothes and began to look around. What the hell is this place anyway? Why are they all here? Someone can bring them here without any shock?

While a series of questions were raised in Andrea's mind, suddenly a light flashed from the sky. It was like a flash of lightning but made no sound. The group immediately inched closer to each other. Four pairs of eyes looked up at the sky, observing the changes.

From the horizontal light in the sky appeared a ball the size of a fist. It hovered in the air for a few seconds, then flew straight down to where Andrea and the others were standing. The four of them panicked and didn't stop taking a step back. The sphere stopped a few meters away from them. In the center of the body of the sphere, a line of blue light began to appear. Then a very mechanical voice spoke up:

“Welcome to Z City. Are you ready for this fight? “

The group looked at the orb in confusion. The surrounding blue light looks cold. It was still flying in the air opposite them. Seems to be waiting for a confirmed reply.

“What the hell is this place? Why are we here? "

Andrea was the first to speak up. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his words. The other three also turned their gazes to the orb. It slowly turned back and forth, observing it all, and then whispered,

“You guys participated in the survival game. To get rid of it, you have to find the code and come back here and install it on the mighty Osik stone pillar.”

The orb said as it turned to a taller rock not far away. The four of them quickly followed. In that place, there was a stone pillar as high as the body, the broken scratches made the appearance even more terrifying. In the center of the column is a concave horizontal row with some strange shapes. Underneath the weeds grow a lot. The orb returned to its original position, staring at Andrea and the others. It then continues to announce:

“The code was broken into three pieces of paper and lost on three sides of this city. Your task is to find it and come back here to install it on the stone pillar. From now on it takes four days to complete the quest. If you miss the deadline or get bitten by a zombie, you will never be able to return to the real world. This is a guide map. Good luck to you."

After speaking, the ball rotated in an arc and then flew up into the sky. Lightning-fast speed. It leaves Andrea and the others with an old map of animal skins.

“Survival game? Since when have I accepted to join this game? The wretched ones.”

Laura could not hide her disappointment and cursed. She angrily kicked at a nearby rock. And Yard and Andrea immediately rushed to pick up the map to examine. The inside shows the riverside roads in quite a detail. Even the places containing the lost piece of paper magically glow.

"There's no way, we have to do what the orb says."

Yard looked at the map and sighed.

"Do you believe what that orb says is true?" Laura raised her hand and asked loudly.

"So, what's the use of lying to us?"

Andrea couldn't contain the panic and anxiety in his heart at this moment. His heart is beating like a drum right now. He felt scared when he got lost in a city where there were hungry zombies everywhere. The blood, the strong fishy smell, the killing made Andrea like a turtle with its neck shrinking.

“You two calm down first. If we keep talking for a while, there will be friction."

Ellen lifted her swollen and painful legs and approached the three of them. She doesn't want the group to have a conflict. Yard also thought so, so he nodded in agreement:

“Now let's find somewhere safe first. Then look closely at the map and then calculate. “

"Okay."

Andrea agrees. Laura was stared at by her three friends, so she obediently swallowed what she was about to say.
