As the sky gradually darkened, the UEA city dormitory area was quiet, as if no one was around.
Li Fatty and the other two people were gathered behind Niu Dabao, watching him sit at the computer desk, continuously clicking the mouse.
Niu Dabao had just woken up, and this time Li Fatty didn't waste any more time. Regardless of whether Niu Dabao was fully awake or could understand, he told him everything in one go. He didn't leave out any words about zombies, the end of the world, and survival.
Niu Dabao was stunned after listening, and it took him a while to react.
"Zombies? The end of the world?" Niu Dabao muttered to himself.
Seeing that Niu Dabao had finally taken in what he said, Li Fatty replied satisfactorily, "That's right. As for the machete you saw earlier, it's used to kill zombies. The blood on the blade is from the zombies."
"Earlier, when I said there are only four of us alive in this dormitory, it's because your other roommates have all turned into zombies," Yan Zekun added, clearing up the misunderstanding.
Niu Dabao still couldn't accept it and couldn't speak for a moment. This surprise was indeed too big for him, even bigger than being robbed.
"Speaking of which, the disaster has been going on for several days. How could you not know anything about it?" Lily asked Niu Dabao curiously. "You must be really a homebody, right? Don't you go to class?"
Niu Dabao finally came to his senses from the huge 'surprise' and defended himself, "Who says I don't go to class? Isn't it because The Legend of Sword and Fairy 6 just came out? I asked a classmate to sign in for me so I could finish the game sooner."
"Your classmate hasn't contacted you for days, and you didn't think anything was wrong?" Li Fatty asked, somewhat disbelieving.
Niu Dabao replied confidently, "What could be wrong? He already promised to sign in for me for a week, so I definitely felt safe playing games every day."
After saying that, Niu Dabao secretly glanced at the three people and looked around the room.
"Tell me, are you guys hidden cameras or something? Are you playing a prank on me? Are you filming me?" Niu Dabao still didn't want to believe Li Fatty and the others. He would rather believe they were playing a prank on him, even if it was a robbery.
Seeing the serious expressions on the three people's faces, Niu Dabao was thoroughly depressed. Could it really be the end of the world? And he didn't even notice? He sat down in the chair and started clicking the mouse, which led to the scene at the beginning.
Li Fatty and the others were gathered behind Niu Dabao, not knowing what he was looking for.
"Tell me, in this situation, you still have the mood to do this?" Li Fatty asked, speechless, as Niu Dabao kept opening one secret folder after another. This guy had hidden those things really well, and no one would normally find them.
Niu Dabao turned and gave Li Fatty a disdainful look, then continued clicking through the folders. Finally, Niu Dabao opened a folder filled with video files.
The names of the videos were all numbers and letters, clearly indicating what they were.
"Niu Dabao! Are you crazy!?" Seeing Niu Dabao double-click one of them, Lily quickly turned away, not daring to look.
However, what they imagined didn't appear.
"Previously on AMC's The Walking Dead..."
"Damn it! The Walking Dead? Why did you hide it so deeply? Do you think it's porn!?" Li Fatty said, speechless.
Not seeing what he expected, he was a bit disappointed. Yan Zekun didn't say anything, just slapped Niu Dabao on the head. You little punk, playing a prank on us?
Lily also turned back, relieved. Niu Dabao looked at them helplessly.
"Tell me, can you guys be a bit more innocent? Even if it's that kind of thing, you should watch it secretly at night, not with so many people together."
Li Fatty and the others were speechless, having been looked down upon by this oddball.
"So, what you're telling me is that the world has turned into this mess?" Niu Dabao asked, pointing to The Walking Dead playing on the computer.
The current episode was showing the Governor's storyline, which seemed to be from Season 4 of The Walking Dead. The scene of zombies attacking humans was exactly the same as their world.
Seeing Li Fatty and the others nod, Niu Dabao still asked suspiciously, "How can I believe you?"
They had anticipated that Niu Dabao wouldn't easily believe them, as he had been living in his own world of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 6 since the disaster. Yan Zekun had prepared by opening the door and grabbing a corpse from the floor, showing it clearly to Niu Dabao.
Earlier, while Niu Dabao was unconscious, they had checked the entire D dormitory. Only one of the four remaining dormitories was not locked from the inside, and they didn't need to worry about the locked rooms, as the zombies couldn't get out.
In the unlocked dormitory, there was a zombie, a white girl. This zombie seemed particularly excited when she first saw them. Yan Zekun lured the female zombie to Niu Dabao's door and then killed her, to give Niu Dabao a reason to believe them.
Seeing Niu Dabao staring in shock, Yan Zekun immediately closed the door. No one really wanted to see zombies.
Is this really true? Zombies? The end of the world? Niu Dabao was completely flustered.
Li Fatty patted his shoulder, comforting him. Niu Dabao's reaction reminded him of his own first encounter with a zombie, and he wasn't much better.
Niu Dabao calmed himself down. It seemed he had to start thinking about his own future.
"I think I'm facing a difficult choice," Niu Dabao said, somewhat troubled, to Li Fatty and the others.
This Niu Dabao must be thinking about whether to join us! His difficult choice must be: staying alone in the dormitory or going with us! Li Fatty thought.
Li Fatty had already considered this issue. Although Niu Dabao was a homebody and a bit odd, he wouldn't disrupt the team's chemistry. According to what Li Fatty had said in Wonderland, as long as someone didn't pose a threat to the team, everything else was unimportant, and they should unconditionally accept them.
Just as Li Fatty was thinking, Niu Dabao revealed his difficult choice.
"In less than two days, I can finish The Legend of Sword and Fairy 6. Should I continue playing? I'm so conflicted!"
"Damn it!"
Li Fatty couldn't help but slap Niu Dabao on the head.
