Erotic Survival Game - Chapter 354
Chapter 354: Theme KTV (11)
It was already half past midnight, and dawn would arrive between six and seven.
The first two private rooms hadn't even taken a full hour. Following Number 9's approach of moving on immediately after clearing a room, cycling through the remaining seven rooms would still leave over an hour for rest.
Ji Ning had no objections, and seeing that Li Xiu didn't seem opposed either, she felt relieved.
If he disagreed and got into an argument with Number 9, it would only cause trouble.
The third private room they entered was a morgue.
Compared to the first two, the morgue was far more terrifying, and a bit more interesting.
Because this time, the performance wouldn't just come charging in through a hidden door.
The room was lined with over a dozen narrow tables, human shapes outlined beneath white sheets. The employees playing corpses had long since lain down, quietly awaiting the guests' arrival.
The room was utterly silent, not a single sound, which made the dozen or so sheet-draped corpses seem even more eerie.
Not knowing when these fake corpses would spring to life, Ji Ning and the Number 7 female player first queued up songs for the two bosses.
This time, to spare themselves the torture of off-key singing, the two microphones were monopolized by Number 9's trio the entire time.
Ji Ning and Li Xiu were happy to be idle, just needing to act as the audience.
If one could ignore that this was a survival game, this kind of horror-themed KTV was actually quite novel.
Ji Ning mused silently. Sitting in a morgue singing, surrounded by corpses—it was pretty cool.
The previous two times, they hadn't managed to finish a single complete song. Now, having already reached the third song here, it felt like a very, very long time had passed. So long that all five of them had the illusion that the corpses wouldn't stir.
Then, in the increasingly relaxed atmosphere, the figures lying on the morgue tables suddenly sat bolt upright. Their limbs twisted and trembled as if beyond control. Some stood, some crawled on the floor, shakily closing in on the five people.
Ji Ning nudged Li Xiu with her elbow. "Zombies. I know these guys." After all, she had already witnessed a dense army of millions of zombies in the Living Dead instance.
The money Li Xiu paid probably wasn't cheap. Money could make the devil turn millstones, and the special effects makeup on these corpse-performing employees was all quite realistic.
The faces were likely done with tissue paper and skin wax, creating a shattered, decaying effect. One even had an eyeball dangling outside its socket.
Originally, Ji Ning thought she could distinguish real zombies by smell. But for some reason, there existed something like a decay-scent spray, and all the approaching zombies carried this odor.
She suddenly missed Qin Yanshu a little. If he were here, he could definitely tell at a glance whether it was a real livor mortis stain or fake ones drawn with eyeshadow and pigment.
The zombie that had already crawled up to Ji Ning and was pawing at her seemed fine, so she turned her attention to help Li Xiu check.
She had just noticed something wrong with the blood on the shoulder of a zombie crawling toward Li Xiu—it looked very much like the dark red of real, oxidized plasma—when Li Xiu suddenly kicked out, flipping the creature over entirely.
At the same moment, an agonized scream suddenly rang out beside them.
Ji Ning looked over and saw that the Number 3 female player had been bitten on the ankle by a zombie that had crawled up to her. It had even torn off a chunk of flesh, the process of skin and muscle ripping too gruesome to watch.
Catching the scent of blood, the zombie Li Xiu had kicked away also began crawling toward Number 3.
Knowing Number 3 was beyond saving, Number 9 and Number 7 could only step aside, watching helplessly as Number 3 was devoured alive by the two zombies and vanished completely from the private room along with them.
Immediately after, the system updated with an elimination notice.
【Number 3 female player made an incorrect judgment and has died permanently.】
Number 3, who had teamed up with two other players, was still eliminated. Ji Ning felt a bit of regret for her.
But this kind of temporary cooperation offered no real guarantee to begin with. Everyone sweeps the snow from their own doorstep, never mind the frost on someone else's roof. That sliver of attention was only enough to look after oneself; there was simply no time to help others watch.
Fortunately, this time Li Xiu and she had noticed the anomaly almost simultaneously and kicked the real zombie away early on.
This time, two real ones had appeared, making it impossible to guard against. There was no telling if the randomness of the subsequent private rooms would intensify and become increasingly difficult.
