[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Late at night, the city, which should be brightly lit, falls into darkness. This is of course. The people who are responsible for supplying electricity, the people who enjoy the thousands of lights, the people who work hard in the city... most of them no longer need the illumination of lights.

They wander in the city, step by step. When there is no prey, they walk slowly, not knowing where to go, tirelessly, with no end, constantly enduring hunger in their stomachs, just walking like that until their bones are withered and their flesh is gone, or their brains are smashed by the survivors who are desperate for survival.

Of course there are still survivors in this city.

It has been more than three months since the zombie outbreak. The survivors have long since gotten over the initial panic and grief of losing their loved ones. They are as strong as weed seeds buried deep in the ground, enduring the wind, frost, rain and snow, hiding in the darkness, anxiously waiting for dawn.

So, what does a light shining in the city mean to them?

C City People's Hospital, on the top floor of the 20th floor, lights are on from the operating room to the corridor and to every department, piercing the long night.

The hospital has its own independent power supply system. According to Guan Minghui, if this power supply system is well maintained, it will have no problem lasting for ten years.

As for what to do ten years from now? Forget it. I can’t even take care of it right now. Who dares to think about what will happen ten years from now?

This era was completely unfamiliar to Chu Liuxiang. He and his two teammates had only been here for two and a half days.

The towering skyscrapers, the steel monsters parked everywhere, and the madmen who would bite anyone they saw on the street, everything was so psychedelic that it seemed like a dream.

As soon as the three people landed, Shen Bijun and Lin Shiyin were protected by Chu Liuxiang. They barely escaped a chase by zombies and their faces had already turned pale.

Shen Bijun was better off. After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Jinzhen Shen family. Although she was two months pregnant, she was still in good health and could easily deal with seven or eight strong men. Lin Shiyin was more troublesome. She was not a weak woman, but she was brought into the game at an unfortunate time - according to the date, her due date would be in a few days.

Thinking of the mission given by the game before entering, the three of them felt as if they were falling into ice and snow.

It was at that time that Guan Minghui was rescued by Chu Liuxiang.

She and her two sisters were out looking for supplies. They were driving, but their luck was bad and they ran into a horde of zombies. Fortunately, three months of escape had given them some experience in how to deal with it. They drove forward at full speed. The zombies had hideous faces, but when they realized there were prey, they no longer hesitated or slowed down. They used their greatest strength and fastest speed to chase the car, banging on the windows and roaring like wild beasts!

More and more zombies were rolled under the wheels and crushed into a pile of meat paste. Of course, they felt no pain. Even though they were dragging their limbs and flesh, they were still crawling forward, stretching out their hands, opening their mouths, waiting for fresh flesh and blood to fall into their mouths.

Guan Minghui was sweating all over, her clothes were sticking to her back, and the iron pliers she was holding tightly in her hands were also slippery due to her sweat. The other girl sitting in the passenger seat kept swallowing her saliva and kept saying, "Hurry up, hurry up, rush forward, don't stop, don't stop! Zhengyang Road is ahead, as long as you get out of Zhengyang Road..."

As she muttered this, the car suddenly slowed down.

"What's wrong?!" Her voice floated up like a ghost.

"Mom, that's my mom... I saw my mom, she..." The girl driving the car was trembling, her whole body was covered in cold sweat, and she was crying anxiously: "I... I didn't mean to do that, what should I do, the car won't move!"

"Snapped!"

A blue-gray hand slammed heavily on the glass, followed by a second and a third hand. Countless hands smashed the glass, countless bodies blocked the car, and countless crushed limbs squeezed the car's tires.

As soon as the accelerator was stepped on to the bottom, the gas almost went into the fuel tank. The girl who was driving was shaking her whole body on the seat, wishing she could fly with the car.

The wheel struggled a few last times and then stopped moving completely.

The girls could no longer hold back and burst into tears, clenching their weapons tightly, but their arms were shaking.

Until the car window shattered and was covered with spider-web-like cracks, pairs of greedy blue-gray hands reached in, and the girl screamed as she was dragged out through the broken glass.

Because Guan Minghui was sitting in the back seat, she held on for two more minutes, and it was during these two minutes that Chu Liuxiang arrived.

It was a very beautiful hand, bronze in color, with neatly trimmed nails, slender fingers, and even a very faint fragrance.

Guan Minghui had completely forgotten what happened during that period of time. When she regained consciousness, she was already in someone's arms. That person was standing on a completely vertical building, soaring into the air, and in a few seconds he flipped ten meters away.

The desperate wails were left far behind.

Guan Minghui kept turning her head, staring blankly at her friends who she had been with day and night for three months slowly falling apart among the zombies. The two of them also stretched out their hands - reaching out to her.

Finally, they landed on the rooftop of a three-story supermarket.

Guan Minghui fell to the ground, shaking uncontrollably, her eyes had lost their luster, and when she heard the sounds from the outside world again, it was already evening. The sky was full of clouds, and the rays of light were endless.

"Are you...are you from a filming crew?" This was Guan Minghui's first words.

"No, no, was I flying in the sky just now?" She shook her head and quickly slapped herself: "Don't sleep anymore, wake up quickly, there is no food in the dormitory!"

Seeing that she was about to slap him again, Chu Liuxiang quickly grabbed her hand and said, "You are not dreaming."

Guan Minghui was stunned for a long while, then slowly exhaled, rubbed her face, and shook it vigorously. Her eyes were red, but she was smiling: "Oh, what a coincidence, are you people with special abilities? You didn't get infected at the beginning and thus accidentally gained superpowers?"

Chu Liuxiang probably understood and nodded in agreement: "Yes, is there anyone else around here?"

Guan Minghui shook her head, her voice slightly hoarse, she pursed her lips tightly to prevent them from trembling, but still asked with a smile on her face: "I don't know either. Who can care about others these days? Hey, that..." She leaned closer, raised her chin towards Lin Shiyin and Shen Bijun, and said: "Which of them is your girlfriend? Aren't you really actors? I just didn't watch TV for a semester. Is the entertainment industry so complicated now?"

"Ah..." Chu Liuxiang was unable to answer for a moment, so he could only vaguely say, "What's your name, young lady?"

"My last name is Guan, you can just call me Xiao Guan, big brother, oh and what are your two sisters' names?"

After the names were introduced, Guan Minghui rolled her eyes, a little embarrassed: "Brother Chu, look, Sister Lin's belly is so big, it's not convenient for her. Otherwise, can you take me with you wherever you go? I'm from the medical school, and I'm a candidate doctor! I know a little about gynecology... you see..."

Before she finished speaking, Chu Liuxiang already understood what she meant. She just wanted to seek protection. Even if she didn't say it, Chu Liuxiang would keep her by his side. Just as she was about to speak, Lin Shiyin suddenly frowned, covered her stomach, and slowly squatted down.

"Oh, is she about to give birth?" In order to seize this hard-won opportunity, Guan Minghui immediately rushed to Lin Shiyin's side and helped her: "Don't worry, don't worry, take a deep breath, yes, yes, that's it, hurry up, I know there is a hospital nearby!"

Of course, we didn’t go to the People’s Hospital in City C.

That hospital is located in the center of City C, a typical tertiary hospital. It is crowded every day. Going there is simply a fool's wit.

The four of them picked up a broken car in the middle of the road and drove all the way to Zhengyang Road, which Guan Minghui was most familiar with. There were not many people there - mainly because there were not many zombies. There was a small clinic in the alley, and she had come here to get medicine before.

After getting off the car, Chu Liuxiang walked in front and Shen Bijun walked at the end.

A few zombies saw people coming and rushed over desperately, but were subdued by Chu Liuxiang.

"No way, what are you doing?" Guan Minghui yelled as soon as she saw the technique: "Don't tell me you haven't killed a single zombie in three months! Headshot, big brother and big sister! Headshot, you know what I mean?"

Guan Minghui supported Lin Shiyin, not daring to walk too slowly or too fast, and even more so not daring to lose his sense of presence, so he could only provide some technical advice: "Hit the temple, it's most convenient." Then, a golden needle shot out from behind and pierced straight into the brain of the running zombie. The golden needle pierced through the brain, and the zombie fell to the ground motionless.

There were no advanced medical equipment in the small clinic, not even an instrument for B-ultrasound. Unfortunately, Lin Shiyin had severe stomach pain and had spotting, so Chu Liuxiang didn't think much of it. After spending the night there, he drove out early the next morning.

Yes, drove out alone.

When Guan Minghui was driving, he sat in the passenger seat and said nothing, asked nothing, and just watched on his own. Except for the fact that it was not very smooth at the beginning and then bumped several times, he actually drove smoother than Guan Minghui.

At night, he brought back some food and went out again. This time he came back at noon the next day. He looked very embarrassed and smelled bad. His moon-white brocade robe was splashed with colorful colors. He didn't know how many zombies he had killed. Even so, he still maintained a relaxed demeanor and said to a few people with a smile: "I cleaned out the largest hospital."

Lin Shiyin and Shen Bijun didn't understand what clearing out a hospital meant. Only Guan Minghui widened her eyes, gasped, and choked herself to death.

"What? Which hospital?"

Chu Liuxiang said innocently, "It seems to be the People's Hospital?"

Guan Minghui was shocked, rushed forward, held Chu Liuxiang's hand, and shook it vigorously: "Brother Chu, Brother Chu! You are really my living father!"

Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and smiled reservedly: "I'm not that powerful. I can only guarantee that one of the buildings is absolutely safe. I will slowly clean up the others. Let's go first."

After Chu Liuxiang got familiar with the People's Hospital during his first night there, he went against the tacit understanding of the city's darkness and turned on the lights on the top floor.

Yes, he knew very well what the lights turning on in the hospital in the center of the city meant to other survivors in this desperate doomsday.
