“Bang!”

Brother Snake flipped a zombie to the ground with a steel rod.

Seeing how brave Prisoner Snake was, the players became more aggressive. They waved their wooden sticks and came out of the shelter. They stood behind him, ready to fight to the death with the zombies.

If the shelter was destroyed, everyone would die here.

Prisoner Snake’s eyes were full of killing intent.

However, even if he was determined to die, he didn’t dare to step out of the light range of the cabin.

The zombies gathered at the door one by one.

Both sides were in a stalemate for more than ten seconds.

Prisoner Snake felt tired of holding the steel rod in his hand.

He was too stressed and he was very nervous.

His hands were full of sweat.

However, what he didn’t expect was that after a short stalemate, the zombies surrounding the cabin retreated like a tide.

What was the meaning of this?

Why did they suddenly retreat?

Just as Brother Snake was puzzled, someone shouted behind him.

“Brother Snake is awesome!”

“They ran away! Haha! They all ran away!”

Hearing the players behind him discussing it, Prisoner Snake was relieved. Although he was panicking, he still tried to maintain the dignity of a leader in front of everyone.

He adjusted his stiff facial muscles, turned around and smiled disdainfully. “I thought it was something else. Is that it? No matter how many of them come, they won’t be enough for me to kill them!”

In the small cabin, Fang Heng added a piece of wood to the bonfire and took out a can of coffee from his backpack.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp...”

After finishing the can of coffee in one go, Fang Heng let out a sigh of relief.

“Phew!”

Awesome!

In terms of taste alone, the coffee in the game was much better than the coffee in the real world.

He was even a little reluctant to finish it.

Fang Heng opened another can of coffee for himself.

“Ugh...”

Seeing Fang Heng drinking so boldly, Liao Bufan was also a little envious. He said, “Brother Fang Heng, it’s already so late and you’re still drinking coffee? Aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to sleep at night?”

After drinking the coffee in the game, the effects were astonishing. After drinking a can of coffee, one couldn’t fall asleep for an entire night. There was even an additional state called ‘excitement’, which could slightly increase the recovery speed of the player’s energy points.

“Sleep? I’ve already said that I’ll be on my own tonight. You guys should rest early.” Fang Heng smiled, giving off an unfathomable feeling. “I’m going to have a lot of fun tonight.”

Jimmy glanced at Fang Heng. Seeing that he was holding onto a pearl of wisdom, he smiled and nodded. “Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you tonight. It’s time for me to sleep too. I’m getting old and can’t take it anymore.”

As he spoke, Jimmy lay down on the simple bed and went offline.

Liao Bufan blinked his eyes and looked at Liu Lin who was beside him.

These two guys were fearless!

They could sleep in such a dangerous situation!

“Hurry up and go offline.”

Fang Heng crushed the leftover cans, broke them into scrap metal and threw them into the storage box before starting to chase them away.

“I still need you guys to work during the day tomorrow! Are you trying to slack off?”

“Alright.”

Liao Bufan was a little reluctant, but thinking about it carefully, there wasn’t much use for him to stay here. It was better to go offline to recover his energy and prepare for the battle tomorrow.

Maybe Fang Heng had a plan?

Liu Lin glanced at Fang Heng worriedly. Seeing that he was waving his hand to urge her to go offline, she sighed in her heart.

She hoped that he would be alright.

After finishing the two cans of coffee, Fang Heng, who was sitting in front of the bonfire, was full of energy and fighting spirit.

“Come on, brother, let’s continue playing. We’re just getting started.”

Fang Heng muttered to himself as he opened the game log and controlled the zombies in the outside world.

...

“Brother Snake is awesome. The moment they see Brother Snake, these zombies will shit their pants.”

“Aren’t they just zombies? With Brother Snake here, what are we afraid of? We’ll kill as many as we want!”

“In a few days, Brother Snake will lead us to rob a shelter. When that time comes, we’ll be the king of the game!”

Prisoner Snake was still afraid of what had just happened, but he still pretended to be calm.

“They say that the zombies at night are very scary, but that’s all they are.”

Brother Snake still couldn’t understand why the zombies had retreated.

After chatting for a while, Prisoner Snake felt sleepy, so he waved his hand, “Who’s keeping watch tonight? Everyone else, rest early. It’s just a little harassment. It’s not a big deal, but you’re all so excited. Tomorrow morning, we still need to...”

“Dong!”

There was the sound of hammering.

The players who were about to return to their beds and go offline to rest froze on the spot.

Almost at the same time, everyone shut their mouths.

It couldn’t be!

Could it be...

The room was extremely quiet. Everyone remained silent, praying that they had heard wrong.

“Dong! Dong!”

The familiar sound of hammering was heard again as if it was hitting the hearts of every player.

They didn’t hear wrongly!

The zombies were back!

“F*ck! Is there no end? Not again?”

The hammering did not stop. Instead, it was getting louder and louder, coming from all directions.

Prisoner Snake gritted his teeth and raised his steel rod, “Let’s go! Let’s fight!”

Pushing open the door, Prisoner Snake used his steel rod and swept away the zombies that were attacking the shelter with their stone hammers.

Under the attack, the zombie staggered a few steps back.

It didn’t attack, but slowly staggered backwards and hid in the darkness.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding zombies quickly retreated into the darkness again.

The sound of stone hammers gradually disappeared from the shelter.

The players who followed Prisoner Snake looked at the darkness and their hearts sank to the bottom.

The darkness was like the mouth of a giant beast, swallowing all the zombies.

“Brother Snake, what should we do?”

“Should we chase after them?”

“Chase my a*s! How could they not see through such a simple trap? These idiots!”

Prisoner Snake had nowhere to vent his anger.

At night, the visibility in the wild was only at most two to three meters long.

Under such circumstances, no one could survive if he was surrounded by zombies.

How could Prisoner Snake gamble his life on such a small chance of survival?

Prisoner Snake gritted his teeth and said, “Don’t chase after them. Let’s go back first.”

Back in the cabin, everyone’s morale was low.

The atmosphere in the room was so heavy that it was scary.

No one said anything and no one went offline to rest.

They were all worried, worried that the annoying hammering sound would come back again.

Qiao Na curled up in a corner and shivered.

Everyone in the room had a premonition that this sound would appear again.

What one hoped for came true.

Less than five minutes later.

“Dong!”

In the quiet cabin, the sound of the hammer hitting was very clear.

“Damn it!”

It was happening again!
