nThe shelter’s defence level was dropping.

n

nThe game notifications kept ringing in the ears of Prisoner Snake and the other players like a death knell.

n

nPrisoner Snake had lost count of the number of times he had rushed out of the door with the others.

n

nEach time, as soon as Prisoner Snake ran out, the zombies would automatically retreat into the darkness.

n

nBefore long, they would return and pound the shelter with their stone hammers again.

n

nPrisoner Snake even tried to send a few players to guard the door.

n

nAt first, it worked.

n

nBut after a few times, the zombies changed their tactics.

n

nThey began to try to go around the back and attack the wooden wall from the back and side of the shelter.

n

nJust a few players could not guard the entire shelter!

n

nAt night, if players stayed in the wilderness for a long time, they would enter a negative state called ‘dark fear’.

n

nThis state would gradually reduce all the players’ basic attributes!

n

nThe longer they waited, the more attributes they would lose!

n

nAccording to the official statistics provided by the federal government, if players accumulated more than 300 minutes in one night, there was a high chance that they would be infected by the zombie virus!

n

nThis was the scariest part of the night!

n

nThey could not all stay outside the door.

n

nIf this went on, once the shelter was destroyed, everyone would die here tonight!

n

nNo one could escape!

n

nFear enveloped every player. They even began to feel despair.

n

nLin Ah-er said coldly, “Why don’t we go out and fight them?”

n

n“Fight your head! Are you going out to die? Stay here!”

n

nThe anger that Prisoner Snake had been trying to suppress finally exploded out of his control.

n

nHe gritted his teeth.

n

n“A bunch of trash!”

n

nNot only was he being played around, but these idiot underlings were completely useless and could not help at all!

n

n“Repair the defence!!”

n

nAmid the silence, a player suddenly shouted.

n

n“Right! Repair the defence!”

n

nThe other players quickly reacted.

n

nThis proposal was like a ray of light in the night, lighting up the hearts of this group of players and giving them a glimmer of hope for survival!

n

nThe attack power of the zombie crowd was not high, so the defensive power of the shelter did not decrease quickly.

n

nIn addition, the zombies were attacking one after another, so they still had enough time to fix the shelter’s defence!

n

nThey still had a lot of basic materials left. They only needed to withstand the zombies’ attacks until the next day.

n

nThen, they could rush out and finish off the zombies!

n

n“What are you waiting for? Move!”

n

nPrisoner Snake was not an idiot. He immediately called his men to start repairing the shelter’s defence.

n

n“Those who don’t want to die, hurry up!”

n

nAt this time, none of the players would even think about logging off to rest.

n

nUnder the threat of the zombies, the players were especially united.

n

nSome were gathering firewood, some were rubbing wooden boards and some were taking turns to clear the circle of zombies to buy some time for themselves.

n

nFor an entire night, Prisoner Snake and his group of players were fighting against these zombies.

n

nIt was not until early in the morning when the sun slowly rose. Brother Snake was about to go out and fight the zombies to the end when he realized that the zombies had already run away without a trace.

n

nAfter being tortured for the whole night, Brother Snake’s eyes were bloodshot.

n

nOn one hand, it was because he was angry, and on the other hand, it was because he had been under great mental stress for the whole night.

n

n“Brother Snake, let’s…”

n

nWang Shao’s face was full of fatigue and he sighed silently.

n

n“Why don’t we let our brothers go offline to rest first? Last night was too tiring.”

n

nPrisoner Snake’s gaze swept across the haggard faces of his players.

n

nEveryone had worked through the night, and both their mental and physical strength had hit rock bottom.

n

nEven so, the shelter’s defence had dropped to 62%.

n

nThis was even after everyone had worked through the night to repair it.

n

nWhat made matters worse was that by the second half of the night, they no longer had the materials to make wooden planks. They could only dismantle everything in the shelter.

n

nThe entire shelter was now bare. The inner doors of the shelter had been demolished and even the ceiling on the second floor had been torn down.

n

nPrisoner Snake closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

n

nDue to the limitations of the game, he would enter a negative state if he did not rest for a long time – ‘fatigue’.

n

nLike other players, Prisoner Snake only had one thought at the moment.

n

nGet a good night’s sleep.

n

nSuch a team could not even protect themselves, let alone attack other players’ shelters.

n

nAlso, the system shelter would be ineffective again tonight…

n

nTheir shelter had been hammered by the zombies on and off for the entire night. They lacked a large number of basic resources for maintenance.

n

nEveryone was tired and the team urgently needed to rest…

n

nThe more he thought about it, the more Prisoner Snake felt a headache coming on.

n

n“Let’s take a break first. The shelter will lose its protection tonight and we still need to maintain it. We’ll go after them in a few days.”

n

nAs he said that, he suddenly trembled without rhyme or reason.

n

nThose zombies wouldn’t come looking for them again tonight, would they?

n

n…

n

nIn the cabin.

n

nEarly in the morning, Liao Bufan went online as usual.

n

nThe skinny old man, Jimmy, was holding a glass full of hot water.

n

n“Where’s Fang Heng?”

n

n“You’re a little late. He just went offline five minutes ago.”

n

n“What?” Liao Bufan was stunned. “No way. He stayed online the whole of last night?”

n

nJimmy nodded and took a sip of the hot water.

n

n“Does the boss want to go to heaven…”

n

nLiao Bufan thought to himself that the boss was awesome.

n

nHe took a can of meat from the storage box, opened it and put it in his mouth.

n

n“Did the boss say anything when he left?”

n

n“Yes, he asked you and Liu Lin to stay in the cabin today and help transport the logs. He also asked you to make a few storage boxes that are easy to move. It will be more convenient when we start moving out.”

n

n“Ah? That’s it?”

n

nLiao Bufan was confused.

n

n“It’s good enough if you can finish the tasks.” Jimmy looked at Liao Bufan, paused and added, “If you have the energy, reinforce the shelter again.”

n

n“No, what did you mean by transporting logs? Where did the logs come from?”

n

nJimmy pointed to the door with his chin.

n

n“You’ll know when you go out and take a look.”

n

nLiao Bufan was baffled. He blinked his eyes and pushed open the door of the cabin with confusion.

n

n“F*ck…”

n

nLooking at the scene outside, Liao Bufan couldn’t help but swear.

n

nIn the forest outside the cabin, there were about twenty zombies wearing lumberyard uniforms and they were holding steel axes in their hands. They were surrounding the trees and swinging the axes to chop them down.

n

n“Boom!”

n

nA big tree fell to the ground under the zombie’s chopping.

n

nThe zombie expressionlessly took a few steps forward, walked to another big tree and swung its axe tirelessly.

n

nBang! Bang! Bang!!

n

nThe forest was filled with the sound of axes chopping down trees.

n

nLiao Bufan was stunned for a moment.

n

nThere was such an operation?

n

nIt seemed that vitality didn’t apply to the zombies at all.

n

nThey swung their axes mechanically to cut down the trees. They didn’t need to rest at all.

n

nIf you switched to a player, it would need at least half of his vitality points to chop down a tree.

n

nAccording to the game’s settings, half of the vitality points would take half an hour to recover under normal circumstances…

n

nLiu Lin shouted at Liao Bufan, who was standing there in a daze. He was carrying a large backpack of logs back to the cabin.

n

n“Liao Bufan! Don’t be lazy! Come and help me pick up the logs!”

n

n“Oh! I’m coming!”

n

nLiao Bufan came back to his senses and couldn’t help but lower his head to look at the ground.

n

nThe surrounding area around the cabin was covered by logs.

n

nAll logs….
