Game Begins: Maritime Banquet 17

Sun Yanyan's scream attracted all the zombies in the cabin. They swarmed towards the stairs, their black claws, festering wounds, twitching nostrils, and bared teeth a testament to their hunger for human flesh.

Sun Yanyan trembled in fear, regretting her decision to follow Wen Nannan.

She shouldn't have listened to Wen Nannan's nonsense and come here. Even if staying in the ventilation duct would eventually lead to a confrontation with the people in the kitchen, at least they were human!

"Sun Yanyan, don't pull me! Hold off the zombies downstairs, and I'll chop open the door soon." Wen Nannan focused on the door, oblivious to the malicious glint in Sun Yanyan's eyes.

With a crash, the door was opened from the outside.

Sun Yanyan felt as if a savior had appeared.

Wen Nannan knew her luck had always been good!

"Sun Yanyan!" Just as Wen Nannan reached out to pull her, a force yanked her back.

Wen Nannan's eyes widened in horror as she watched Sun Yanyan run past her, the zombies' sharp claws grazing her back, leaving a bloody mark.

"You fucking Sun Yanyan!"

Just when Wen Nannan thought she was doomed, a hand suddenly reached out from outside the door and grabbed her, followed by the sound of a silencer.

Wen Nannan was pulled outside and helped to shut the door and barricade it with heavy objects.

The feeling of surviving a near-death experience left Wen Nannan weak and breathless.

She picked up her kitchen knife and approached Sun Yanyan step by step.

Sun Yanyan's face turned pale. "Nan, listen to me, it was just a misunderstanding."

"Fuck the misunderstanding!" Wen Nannan kicked Sun Yanyan hard. "I saved you, gave you water, and you tried to kill me! You wanted to throw me down to the zombies!"

"It's not like that, I was just too nervous." Sun Yanyan shook her head desperately. "Listen to me, I didn't mean it!"

Wen Nannan swung her knife, grazing Sun Yanyan's neck. "You should be grateful that I'm still a law-abiding citizen, or I would have killed you already! Get lost and never show your face to me again!"

Sun Yanyan trembled in fear and looked at the man standing beside them.

"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Wen Nannan slashed Sun Yanyan's backpack with her knife.

Sun Yanyan screamed, not expecting Wen Nannan to turn on her so quickly. She grabbed her belongings and disappeared into the darkness.

"Thank you."

After Sun Yanyan left, Wen Nannan turned to thank her savior. When she saw his face, she was slightly surprised. It's Mr. Lu!

"You're right, this game really shows the true face of people."

"Weren't you quite brave and valiant just now?" Lu huai asked, raising an eyebrow. "You don't seem like someone who's only in their first game."

Wen Nannan scratched her nose sheepishly. "Excuse me, where's the toilet on this ship?"

The urge to urinate had been building up since she was being chased by the zombies, and now it was almost unbearable.

Lu huai pointed to a small cabin nearby. "Over there."

"Thanks!" Wen Nannan ran towards it.

... How embarrassing.

There was only one habitable cabin on the deck, and Lu huai had already taken it. Wen Nannan had to find another place to stay.

The towering stack of containers became her new choice.

The highest point of the containers was easy to defend, and Wen Nannan thought it was a good location.

"Can I borrow your ladder?" she asked Lu, referring to the wooden ladder leaning against his cabin.

Lu huai glanced at the ladder. " Use it casually."

Wen Nannan carried the ladder towards the containers, but as she got closer, a foul stench filled the air.

She wrinkled her nose, covered it with a handkerchief, and continued walking toward her destination.

Outside the cabin, Lu huai opened the door and looked at the person standing there.

"Sir." Sun Yanyan had been waiting outside, hoping to avoid Wen Nannan and find this man alone. She looked at Lu Huai, her eyes full of expectation and flattery.

Wen Nannan didn't want her anymore, but this man was handsome, skilled, and most importantly, he had a gun! Sun Yanyan set her sights on him immediately.

"Sir, can you take me in?" Sun Yanyan put on her most vulnerable and pitiful expression. "I had a misunderstanding with my companion, and now I'm all alone and scared. It's dark and dangerous outside."

Lu huai ignored her completely.

Sun Yanyan bit her lip and clasped her hands together, pleading with Lu huai. "Sir, I don't know how long it will take for the freighter to reach land, and I can't make it on my own. Please help me."

"Get out." The door slammed shut.

Sun Yanyan was driven away like an unwanted pest. She glared at the door with resentment and stormed off.
