Zhu Chen died tragically in the ring. Perhaps this is why those who successfully escaped the zombie island didn't reappear on the roster. Those who successfully escaped will all return to the ring to entertain the audience in another way—this is the true final round...
I couldn't help but feel a little sad. It was as if I couldn't see any hope of survival. When I first entered the apocalypse, I thought that as long as I stockpiled enough supplies, everything would be fine. Later, I thought that I could live a peaceful life once I entered the G City shelter. Then, when I entered the zombie island, I thought that if I survived to the top three, I would gain freedom. But everything was an illusion. We were always under the control of that group of people and could not escape.
My body felt weak, and I slowly sat down against the glass. Ji Lin'an squatted down in front of me: "Are you alright?"
I nodded and then shook my head: "Do you think we still have a chance to gain our freedom?"
Ji Lin'an fell silent; perhaps he also knew that we were already firmly trapped in this place...
Before we could even feel sad, a noise suddenly came from outside the door. Ji Lin'an and I were startled and immediately stood on either side of the doorway to the secret room. We could hear two footsteps approaching us slowly. My nerves were on edge. Ji Lin'an searched his body but couldn't find any usable weapons. I looked down at my coat. The material of the coat had no elasticity. I took it off. Ji Lin'an understood what I meant and took off his coat with me. We grabbed the sleeves of the coat and wrapped them around our hands twice.
As footsteps approached, the door opened, and a man in white entered, followed closely by another man in white. The two quickly scanned the room, and just as their gazes were about to fall on us, we immediately pulled down our coats and strangled the men in white. They struggled desperately, seemingly trying to shout, but seeing this, Ji Lin'an and I tightened our grip. Soon after, they stopped breathing and collapsed to the ground.
I let go of my hands and slumped to the ground. Yu had used too much force, and many of his fingernails had flipped up, with a trickle of blood flowing from under them. Ji Lin'an immediately reached out and took the clothes from my hands. I glanced at the two people lying on the ground and said, "Let's change into their clothes. I'm worried they'll find us soon if two people suddenly disappear."
Ji Lin'an nodded: "Okay, let's change our clothes and go out to see if we can find an exit."
I quickly took off the clothes from the smaller woman in white lying in front of me. It was a woman. I was shocked and felt a little breathless, but I didn't care. I took off my white protective suit. The woman was now only wearing underwear. I spread my coat over her and then took off my clothes and put on the white protective suit.
Ji Lin'an was also dressed, with a helmet on his protective suit. After putting on the helmet, he found that it had built-in earphones, and a voice came from the earphones: "0817, 0913 received, please respond."
I immediately grabbed Ji Lin'an and pointed to the inside of the helmet. Ji Lin'an nodded to me and also pointed to the inside of the helmet. Ji Lin'an gave me a reassuring look, then coughed a few times and said, "Here."
Perhaps unsure of the man's voice, Ji Lin'an lowered his voice and answered, and after a while, the voice came through the earpiece: "Have you found those two? If you have, bring them to the energy center quickly, they're the only ones missing."
"Just the two of them?" I was startled. It seemed that An Xin and the others hadn't managed to escape. Looking at the two lying on the ground, I had an idea. I tugged at Ji Lin'an's sleeve, pointed to the ground, and then pointed to the door. Ji Lin'an hesitated for a moment and then nodded at me. I put the clothes I had taken off on the woman, and Ji Lin'an put his clothes on the man as well.
With difficulty, I hoisted the woman onto my shoulder, while Ji Lin'an carried the man. We slowly walked towards the energy center. When we entered the energy center, I couldn't remember anyone else, except for a few people in white who had just been injected with energy. They were chatting and laughing together. I was extremely nervous, and I could hear my heart pounding clearly inside my protective suit.
I carried the woman to the syringe and placed her in front of the machine. She instantly went limp and collapsed into my arms, burying her face in my chest. A man in white walked over and asked, "What happened to her?"
I tried to suppress my nervousness: "I wanted to escape, so I knocked him out."
The man in white didn't say anything, but gestured for me to put the woman's arm into the syringe. I pulled up the woman's arm and inserted the syringe. After a while, the injection was complete. Ji Lin'an's injection was also finished. We didn't dare to linger and immediately carried the woman out of the energy center. When we were almost at the door, a male voice suddenly rang out: "Wait."
My legs started to go weak. I slowly turned my head and saw a man in white standing not far away looking at us. He said, "Send them back into the cabin."
I breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to the person, turned around, and quickly left the energy center. Ji Lin'an and I took the two dead people back to the place where the space capsules were placed, and put them in according to our names. Everyone was already lying in the space capsules, and no one paid attention to us. We quickly walked out of the room.
A voice came through the earpiece: "0817, 0913, proceed to the training ground immediately."
After Ji Lin'an responded in a low voice, we looked up at our current location. The corridor leading out of the space capsule was the energy center and the secret room. We didn't see any other places to go. Ji Lin'an pulled me and gestured for me to follow him. I nodded and followed Ji Lin'an forward.
After walking back and forth in the corridor twice, we discovered what seemed to be a hidden door along the wall. Ji Lin'an and I stopped in front of the hidden door, and suddenly a blue light flashed out. Then the door opened to both sides, like an elevator. Ji Lin'an and I slowly stepped inside, and the elevator doors closed quickly. Inside the elevator, we saw the floors. There were 20 floors in total, and each floor was labeled. We were on the 7th floor. From the 3rd floor to the 13th floor, the same words were labeled: Energy Center, Space Capsule.
It seems there are more than just 100 of us. If every floor is like ours, then there are a total of 1,000 people. I felt a sudden chill of fear. I looked at the signs and saw that the training ground was on the 15th floor. Ji Lin'an pressed the button for the 1st floor first. The elevator quickly arrived at the 1st floor. The elevator doors opened, and a large lobby came into view, just like the lobby of a normal office building. People were coming and going. Several young and beautiful girls were standing at the front desk, and there were many people waiting in line to inquire.
Behind the reception desk, the wall read "Tomorrow's Future Technology Company." Not far away, in the lounge area, a large screen displayed images of spaceships and zombie islands, but without any zombies—only scenes of rainforests and flowing rivers...
