RUNNING FOR SURVIVAL II
Those creatures look hungry, Uncle," the little girl said, her eyes filled with tears.
"Don't worry, dear. Uncle will protect you," Rian reassured her with a warm smile, embracing the little girl.
Ding!
( All players are to run towards the ending point and avoid getting bitten by the zombies.)
All the players turned their attention to the system announcement, which pointed towards the ending point.
"Damn! I can't even see the ending point. These monsters will probably devour us before we reach it," Livi sighed in frustration.
Ding!
(After each mission is completed, rewards will be given. Good luck, players!" the system announced.)
"I don't want to play anymore," an old man said, his face filled with fear. He appeared to be in his sixties, with streaks of white hair.
Ding!
(Not willing to participate in a game equals death)
"Fine, I give up!" the man yelled angrily and stormed towards the exit.
BOOM*
Suddenly, there was a deafening explosion, causing all theplayers to cover their ears and shut their eyes to protect themselves from the debris.
Even with their ears covered, the players heard the explosion as the old man passed through the stadium door.
"What was that?" Livi murmured, slowly opening her eyes. She was shocked to see the lifeless body of the old man lying in a pool of blood on the floor.
Ding!
(Just like that, you will be dead, so leave at your own risk or play and win the game. Good luck!)
Blood stains covered the floor, and splatters of blood marked the participants who had been near the old man.
Fear gripped everyone. Though they find it hard to express with words, their expressions revealed their terror.
"Did his head just get blown off?" Axel smirked, observing the headless body of the old man on the floor. He resisted the urge to investigate the cause of the explosion, knowing that crossing the stadium door would lead to the same fate.
"If we don't participate in a game, we die, and even if we participate, we can still die when we lose," Murmured Livi with a dejected face.
Ding!
(It's still better to try than not trying to play at all. Who knows, you might win the game and come out victorious)
(Now that we're all cleared, the game begins.)
"Go, my darlings, feast on them," Mia, a slim lady, commanded the zombies behind her. Instantly, they charged towards the players.
"Fuck!" Axel cursed, sprinting with all his might.
The other players also ran towards the stadium exit, giving it their all.
Growls filled the air as the zombies attacked certain participants. Once bitten, the innocent players transformed into zombies themselves.
"I can't keep running like this. The stadium exit is too far, and I'll run out of breath soon. I better start fighting back," Axel thought, his expression determined. He swung his axe, striking the zombies directly in the neck.
(Current scores by all players.)
(Axel: 10 points)
(Livi: 0 points)
(Rian: 0 points)
The system announced the names of the other players, attaching 0 points to their names.
Meanwhile...
Livi and Rian sought refuge under a large table.
"What the hell? Are we supposed to kill these monsters?" Livi asked, her voice barely audible as she struggled to catch her breath.
Ding!
(Oh, excuse me. To win this game, you must kill as many zombies as possible. There are fifty players and one hundred zombies. Each player must eliminate at least half the number of zombies to win.)
"What? Is the system insane? I thought we just had to reach the stadium exit to win," Livi questioned, her voice filled with disbelief.
Ding!
(You have twenty-five more minutes to complete the first game.)
"What happens if we can't kill half the zombies?" Axel asked, continuing his relentless assault on the undead.
Ding!
(Death)
"Damn!" Axel cursed, his attacks becoming even more ferocious.
Livi and Rian emerged from their hiding spot, joining the fight against the zombies. Livi wielded a sharp knife, while Riam fired his gun.
Ding!
(Current scores by all players.)
(Axel: 50 points)
(Livi: 20 points)
(Rian: 20 points)
(Ten minutes remaining players.)
Growls echoed around them as more participants succumbed to the zombies' attacks, transforming into the undead themselves.
"Hey, idiots! Use your weapons!" Livi yelled angrily at the players who ran without defending themselves, paralyzed by fear.
"Damn! You're all going to become these monsters' lunch!" Livi shouted in frustration as she witnessed players being attacked and turned into zombies.
"Fuck!" she cursed bitterly.
Ding!
(Current scores by all players.)
(Axel: 100 points)
(Livi: 50 points)
(Rian: 50 points)
"How many zombies have we killed according to our points?" Rian asked, slashing at the zombies in front of him.
Ding!
(For every zombie killed, you earn ten points.)
"Damn! So I've only killed five?" Rian's expression fell, but he continued firing his gun at the zombies.
Ding!
(Yes! Hurry up and kill more)
"If you can't fight, find shelter and protect yourself. Don't let yourself get bitten and turn into those damn zombies," Livi yelled, her knife slashing through the undead.
Ding!
(Those who fail to kill at least ten zombies will die at the end of the mission.)
"Damn! This is insane!" Rian shouted, his gunshots intensifying.
(Current scores by all players.)
(Axel: 200 points)
(Livi: 150 points)
(Rian: 100 points)
(Five minutes remaining)
Growls filled the air...
"Damn! Have we killed at least half the zombies?" Livi questioned, her expression fierce as she continued her relentless assault.
Ding!
(Current scores by all players.)
(Axel: 500 points)
(Livi: 300 points)
(Rian: 300 points)
(The game ends in 1... 2... 3... Stop)
(Final rankings)
(Axel: 700 points)
(Livi: 500 points)
(Rian: 400 points)
"Who won?" Livi asked, her expression filled with terror as she stared at the screen.
"We've killed more than half the zombies. We should win, right?" Rian asked, his gaze fixed on the screen. "We must win," he added optimistically.
Axel sat down on a chair, his head buried in his hands, patiently awaiting the results.
Ding!
(The losers will be eliminated in the count of one... two... three...)
Boom... Boom... Boom...
