Chapter 2

"Is this a dream?!"

Immediately, countless thoughts surged up, and Tan Xiao's consciousness quickly recovered. Countless scenes flashed through his mind.

Startled, he took a deep breath, then panted heavily, suddenly opening his eyes and sitting up abruptly from the ground!

"What's going on?! Could I not have died? Could all of this just be a dream?!!"

He looked down at his hands, his heart filled with doubt. Tan Xiao instinctively reached out to touch his hands, finding no blood or a bloodstained knife.

Thinking further, Tan Xiao began to feel his entire body, touching the places where the assailants had stabbed him.

To his disbelief, his entire body, though his clothes were stained with dark red blood and had cuts from the knife, showed no signs of injury at all!

The wounds seemed to be non-existent, yet the bloodstains and torn clothes seemed to indicate something.

He was momentarily stunned, and then his mind struggled to recall the scenes that had flashed through his head. At this moment, Tan Xiao felt as if he had experienced a fantastic tale.

Lifting his head, he looked around. At this point, Tan Xiao suddenly realized that he was alone in a desolate wilderness. The surroundings were bleak and silent, the night was deep and terrifying, and it was almost impossible to see anything clearly.

It was still a dark night, but the surroundings were dense with shrubs. He was sitting on a pile of pebbles, and not far away, a campfire flickered with a dancing flame.

There was no moon or stars, and the night sky was dark and lifeless. Apart from the "crackling" sound of the burning campfire, the world was utterly silent, not even the chirping of insects, as if everything were dead!

It was filled with an ominous aura!

"Where am I?!" His mind was momentarily blank. Tan Xiao remembered that he should have been on the old street!!

But thinking about the bizarre scene at the end of his life, Tan Xiao fell silent.

What was that strange voice?

What is happening now?

Suddenly, Tan Xiao felt that his 24 years of life experience were not enough to explain what was happening to him. Everything that had happened to him so far was too bizarre.

Mysteriously, his left chest still ached slightly. As if remembering something, Tan Xiao quickly undid the buttons of his shirt.

Looking down at his chest, he saw a clear, blood-red number: "BX137768"!

"What is this?!"

Tan Xiao was stunned.

Then, at that moment, a mass of information suddenly appeared in Tan Xiao's mind.

"Welcome, Test Subject BX137768, to the Death Game Scenario. This is your first Death Horror Game Scenario. We hope you can survive.

"This is a game?! Could it be a game of the gods, no, perhaps it should be called a game of demons." Thinking of that strange voice, his heart was once again in turmoil, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

In his heart, Tan Xiao had already begun to accept everything that had happened to him.

Tan Xiao had always been a firm atheist, but everything he had experienced tonight had shattered his beliefs.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing. Having experienced everything firsthand, he could not help but believe it.

Moreover, he really did not want to die again after having already died once. The word "elimination" made him feel a chill, and the cold, desolate environment made him shiver.

Mysteriously, a premonition made Tan Xiao firmly believe that if he did not complete the mission or had negative points, he would really die!!

Thinking of this, Tan Xiao's expression became much more serious.

Alone and with nothing, trapped in this dangerous and unknown place, it was almost as bad as being dead!

"I must do something, I must try to survive no matter what!"

Looking at the cold, silent environment, the name of this scenario world, "Zombie Siege," and the frequent mentions of zombies in the missions, Tan Xiao had a bad feeling.

An extremely ominous aura began to rise in his heart.

"It's deep night. If there are really zombies, they are probably active now." Thinking this, feeling the cold and eerie surroundings, Tan Xiao's face turned grim.

He did not know what walking zombies or wandering zombies were, but he did not think he could fight the legendary zombies.

"I must leave here quickly and find Green Source Village. Otherwise, wandering around in this place, I might run into a zombie and that would be disastrous!

I'll put the mission to kill zombies on hold. Knowing oneself and the enemy is the key to victory. I don't know what these zombies are like, whether I can defeat them, or how to defeat them. It's not a good idea to fight them recklessly.

Since the mission is to help Green Source Village defeat the Purple-Haired Zombie King, this village must be special and have some ability to fight zombies! I'll go to Green Source Village first to find a safe place, then gather more information and intelligence."

With this thought, Tan Xiao made his decision.

The location of Green Source Village was unknown, but Tan Xiao was confident that since he was here, Green Source Village must be nearby.
