Chapter 2

Liu Gan appeared in a square, with nine other men lying around him in various positions.

"Has virtual reality technology really advanced to this level? Can it make people feel the same in games as they do in the real world?" Liu Gan sat up and looked around, inwardly complaining.

It's just a game played by wearing a sensor helmet in front of a computer; how could it be so real? Could it be a dream? Liu Gan subconsciously bit his lip, and a pain sensation came through, so he immediately confirmed that he wasn't dreaming.

So, am I in the game now? Otherwise, how can this be explained?

Liu Gan looked up at the sky, which was overcast with no sign of the sun, dark clouds rolling as if it were about to rain. Not far away, a huge billboard pointed to the sky, with the four bright red words "Trembling World" written on it, as if dripping with blood. The billboard even showed the official launch date of the game, which was today.

Ads are even inside the game?

At this moment, the nine men around Liu Gan were equally surprised. They, like Liu Gan, were sitting in front of computers just a moment ago. When the "Trembling World" server of the San Yu company opened, they immediately confirmed their entry into the game, chose their initial weapons, and soon appeared here, in a large square.

Most of them looked very confused and surprised, just like Liu Gan. They stood up, looked at the sky, and then looked around, their faces filled with disbelief.

They were not alone. Not far from them, some people who looked rather abnormal were wandering around. For the otaku who often played various games, it was immediately clear that these were not ordinary people but zombies!

The closest one to them was a female zombie. Her long hair wasn't too dirty, her chest was high, her waist was slender, and she wore a white shirt and a beautiful red short skirt. Her figure was excellent, but her face was somewhat terrifying.

As the female zombie was wandering around aimlessly, she suddenly saw the ten people who had appeared out of nowhere. It was as if she had smelled fresh food, and she immediately rushed over, her speed astonishing. In just a few seconds, she was in front of a man with a shaved head.

"Damn! Miss, have you never seen a handsome guy before? Why are you so excited?" The man with the shaved head used the iron rod in his hand to push against the female zombie's protruding chest.

If it weren't for her blood-red eyes, greenish face, and drooling mouth, she would have been a very attractive woman, with a great figure and high street appeal.

After the female zombie's chest was pushed by the iron rod, she extended her hands to try to grab the man with the shaved head, her mouth opening and closing, emitting wild animal-like roars, seemingly very interested in the fresh flesh on the man's body.

"The modeling, the rendering, the textures... this is too damn realistic! The hair even has a silky effect, DX11.3 is really something! San Yu company has done a great job with this game!" Another bald man walked over, swaying as if drunk, and closely examined the female zombie.

The others were also drawn to this scene, temporarily setting aside their confusion.

After examining the female zombie, the bald man, with a perverse interest, lifted her short skirt, revealing her panties. From the cartoon patterns on them, it was clear that this woman had been quite cute before she turned into a zombie.

"Ha ha... take it off and see how the inside textures are done." The other men started to cheer him on.

Encouraged by the crowd, the bald man really did reach out with his other hand to take off the female zombie's panties, but just as he grabbed them and was about to pull them off, the female zombie, who had been trying to tear the man with the shaved head, suddenly changed her target and pounced on the bald man, biting his neck.

The bald man instinctively moved to the side, but it was too late. The female zombie bit into his shoulder, and blood spurted out, causing him to scream in pain. A strong smell of blood quickly spread around.

"Damn! The blood effect is really realistic! Baldy, how much of your health bar is down?" The man with the shaved head widened his eyes, surprised at what was happening.

"Health bar my ass! It hurts like hell!" The bald man pushed the female zombie away and kicked her, but after tasting fresh flesh, she clearly wasn't going to give up. She immediately pounced on the bald man again.

"Who told you to take off the lady's panties? You pissed her off, didn't you?" The man with the shaved head laughed lewdly.

The others had various expressions; some looked panicked, some stared intently at the bald man's bleeding shoulder, and some seemed to be searching for something in front of them.

Liu Gan didn't say anything, feeling that something was off. This was too real. If it was a game, what kind of powerful processor and graphics card would be needed to render such a realistic effect? And this clearly wasn't something that could be shown on a computer screen; he was clearly inside the game world!

After a moment, Liu Gan regained his composure. He remembered that when he logged into the game, he had chosen a machete as his initial weapon. Now, he indeed had a machete in his hand. Liu Gan was very close to the bald man, so he immediately swung the machete at the female zombie's neck. The machete was very sharp, and with the tension making him use all his strength, he decapitated the zombie in one stroke.

A thin cloud of black mist rose from the fallen zombie's body and silently entered Liu Gan's body.

Liu Gan panted heavily, his hands gripping the machete trembling slightly. Is this a game? Is this damn thing a game? The smell, the sight, the feel—there's no difference from the real world!

Liu Gan subconsciously looked at his hands and feet. He was a disabled person with both limbs amputated, using prosthetics. But the few swings of the machete just now felt very flexible, not like prosthetics at all. If they were prosthetics, he wouldn't have been able to grip the machete, let alone make such precise movements to kill a zombie.

But now, he could clearly feel the real touch of the machete in his hands and swing it freely, so this couldn't be the real world.
