[THP] Chapter 7: Group Fight

Translated by: Milky

After Wu Shijiu cursed, Chang Su’s poked his head through the window to check it out of curiosity.

And then he was shocked.

“E-Eww…w-what are they…d-doing…”

The lights in the factory were on, even though it’s quite dim, what’s happening inside could still be shown clearly.

A group of men and women in strange costumes with distinctly non-mainstream features, wielding various weapons from the factory, were collectively dissecting a zombie, with the blond man in the lead, he hummed as he carried a buzzing chainsaw in his hand.

The zombie's limbs were all cut off, and its head rolled to the side, with its rotten intestines and stomach flowing all over the place.

Not only that, but there was also another zombie which seemed to be recently mutated lying in the corner, it struggled through the chains binding on it. 

What kind of disgusting entertainment is this? They thought it’s a party?

But compared to the surprise of Chang Su and Wu Shijiu, Ling Chengmu's focus was obviously not here, she leaned and turned her head to listen.

“It’s a chainsaw’s sound, that’s good.”

A chainsaw meant there was a possibility to cut the handcuffs.

“Sis Cheng, there’s a lot of people.” Wu Shijiu reminded her with a low voice: “And they all got the big guys.”

“I don’t want their big guys, I just want a chainsaw.”

Wu Shijiu was speechless.

OK, why try reasoning about the crisis with this missy? It’s useless. She can easily take the enemy's head from a hundred meters away, this blind warrior was never afraid of anyone.

Wu Shijiu chose to remain silent.

The four of them repositioned the ladder down the window frame and climbed in one by one towards the factory floor.

At that moment, the group inside the factory was planning to dissect the other zombie for fun as well, but someone inadvertently looked up and happened to see their figures.

“What the fuck?! Who is the one sneaking in?!”

Wu Shijiu’s hands went loose due to shock, incidentally, Chang Su was smashed down with her, acting as a meat cushion, the two fell down the floor together.

The handcuffs clattered softly, and Qin Ce and Ling Chengmu got to the ground one after another.

The two groups of people stood in their own places staring at each other, only Ling Chengmu looked calm because she could not see.

The blond man with the chainsaw has a cockney voice, a speech full of quacking texture sounded as he talked.

He scowled at them: “Damn, we nailed all the windows and you guys could still get in, you guys are something!”

Given that Qin Ce was too lazy to talk, Chang Su was not good at talking, Ling Chengmu had to punch people whenever she talked, so the task of the squad's diplomat falled on Wu Shijiu's shoulders.

“Since this place is also part of the game’s public area, and you guys are using it, of course we could use it too.” She said: “It’s such a big place, can’t we work things out in peace? Dude.”

One of the male players, who had his hair dyed in green, looked hippy: “Work things out? Sure, but you guys should show some sincerity, right?”

“And what do you want?”

“Looking at how cute you are, why don’t you come play with us?”

Wu Shijiu was so pissed it felt like her two pigtails would stand. She immediately rolled up her sleeves and planned to curse, but this time Chang Su’s actions were faster than her reaction, he stood forward as if he was a wall, his voice loud as bells:

“Did you ask, my opinion?”

The break in his sentence was loud and clear, unlike a stammer, instead, it helped in adding a few deterrent powers within.

The green haired guy wasn’t even afraid, he barked back instantly: “Who the fuck are you? Are you two even related or why are you even fucking yelling here?”

Chang Su glanced at Wu Shijiu, with righteousness, he declared: “I’m her father!”

When those words came out, even Ling Chengmu and Qin Ce from the back doubted his IQ.

Wu Shijiu was just speechless, she lowered her voice to complain: “Can’t you be my brother? Why choose father? Now that’s too much!”

“B-Being y-your father…s-sounds…more…imposing.” Chang Su comforted her, “S-Sorry…I-I didn’t think it…through, I-I’ll change…n-next time.”

He stared at her with innocent eyes, like a large dog admitting it’s mistake, Wu Shijiu could not say anything more, so she just secretly pinched him on the arm.

His brain wasn’t really working, it was like a typical example of a kind-hearted dullard, and how can she bear to haggle over with a dullard like him?

Fine then.

“That’s right, he is my father. He’s 42 now, just young looking. So what?”

The green haired guy snickered: “So what if he’s your father? He has to be obedient in our territory, how can he not pay anything if he wants to stay in here to hide from the zombies?”

At this moment, a male player who looked like a husky- hair dyed in white and blue lenses on his eyes- sounded from behind, his voice sounded greasy disgusting:

“Tsk tsk, I think you have to improve your eyesight, that blind woman behind obviously has a better body shape.”

“That blind woman had half of her face covered, who knew what she really looked like? What if she was disfigured?”

“What’s the use of looking at her face? What matters is how good it feels when we use it!”

These two people stood and talked in a whispering posture, yet the volume was about the same as shouting into the speaker, as if they were afraid that others could not hear them.

Ling Chengmu’s slender, thin fingers were slowly caressing the tip of the blind cane in circles- this was a precursor to the power she had built up, basically meaning that someone was going to suffer soon.

She spoke in the most gentle and deceptive tone, yet what she said were the most dangling words.

“Shut up now, talk about that nonsense later. Who had that chainsaw just now? Lend me for a sec.”

The blond man was puzzled: “Chainsaw? What do you want that for?

“Of course, there’s something to cut off.”

“What is it then?”

“Your head, do you believe that?”

He choked for a moment and smiled, not even mad at her words: “Interesting, you have quite a wild temper for a blind woman, I like it.”

The group of rascals around chattered: “I wonder if she’s still so wild when she takes off her clothes? Hahahahaha.”

Hearing a soft “click” sound, Ling Chengmu twisted her hands, and the sharp blade at the top of the blind cane popped out.

She said slowly and methodically, “Since you won't lend it, I'll have to rob it then.”

The group of people were completely unimpressed, and all looked amused, among them a girl with the fried head and lip piercing- as if she thought she looked smart in it- was still sneering.

“Oh come on lady, you think you’re the future female warrior just because you attached a spring in your blind cane? You even need people to help you walk, could you stop making us laugh?”

Ling Chengmu nodded, “Oh.”

The next second, the sudden stretch of the blind cane burst up so fast it appeared like a silver light, giving the other party a direct hit to the chest.

At the same time as the girl was knocked away, the blind cane reversed its direction midway and swung on the heads of the green-haired man and the husky man one after another.

Her original target was the blonde guy, but unfortunately these two people were in the middle, they were just unlucky.

Fortunately, she also kept her force back, otherwise their brains were probably going to splash out.

She kept her blind cane back as she walked close to the blond man, Qin Ce was at her side, obviously preparing to fight too.

They didn’t have much thoughts as they’re unwilling to wait any longer, they just wanted to snatch that chainsaw over.

When they got that chainsaw, they could cut their handcuffs off, and regain freedom.

The group of people started cursing as they rushed over with weapons in hand to fight, Chang Su resolutely took up the duty of covering his teammates, striding in front to block them off.

Wu Shijiu wielded the two kitchen knives she had in hand- which she used to fight the zombies before- she decided to act threatening because she knew she wasn’t powerful enough to fight.

She shouted with all her might: “You dead weirdos, you think this is your family’s factory?! Who gave you the face to act so?!”

The two sides have not yet formally clashed, and with her loud shouting, a sudden shocking sound appeared from a distance, it was a deafening sound of loud blast.

The time was up, the system had begun to bombard the danger zones.

Between the safe zone and the danger zone, it seemed to be as if there was an invisible shield. Once you’re in the safe zones, even if where you were was near the danger zone, the player would still be safe, on the other hand, the player would die under the blasting.

Now that was quite a luck challenge, not all players had maps, and not all would be able to find transport, there were even some who got assigned to the edge of the city at the beginning of the game, they had no way to escape the danger zone in the allotted time.

The “Hunting” System was obviously cruel.

The abandoned factory was very close to the bombing area, the sound of the explosion was a strong noise that immediately attracted hundreds of zombies within a radius of hundreds of meters, showing out their bloody teeth and claws as they rushed towards the building.

On the other hand, the group fight in the factory was still ongoing.

Chang Su fought against 10 alone and was focusing on viciously hitting a purple foiled hair perm young man, because he was the one who kicked Wu Shijiu just now.

Wand Wu Shijiu was confronting the purple-haired guy’s girlfriend, who was the one who had a fried head and lip piercing.

“You better not be so cocky, my knives are blind when I use them, just because I don’t want to cut others don’t mean I don’t dare to do so!”

The lip-pierced girl held a metal rod in her hand and spitted contemptuously: “See those thin hands and legs, don’t boast! So now your father’s planning on taking it on my man? Guess I’ll get rid of you then!”

“...Fuck! I was too nice to you!” Wu Shijiu was pissed off, “Come on, let’s see who’s the one dying then!”

They were fighting hard there, yet on the other side, Ling Chengmu and Qin Ce finished the blonde guy very soon. Qin Ce was checking on the chainsaw as Ling Chengmu stepped the blonde guy under her feet.

“Sorry for all that.” Ling Chengmu’s tone was calm and unhurried, seemingly communicative, but actually intimidating, “I suggest you to not move and lie quietly for a while, lest this chainsaw suddenly start and cut you into two pieces or something, it’ll be polluting the environment.”

The blonde guy was speechless.

This was fucking fucked up.

Ling Chengmu’s hearing was extremely good, even under such a noisy environment, she could still hear the vague roaring sound of zombies coming from that third floor window.

She raised her volume: “Bro Chang!”

It was rare how she called him in such a way, which made Chang Su quite overwhelmed: “W-What’s…w-wrong?”

“Climb up and block that window.”

Chang Su turned to take a glance: “W-We just d-dismantle it, n-nailing it…a-again…w-we…m-might not make it…”

Though he said those words, he thought that a window wide open was dangerous too, so he decided to climb up the ladder and check it out.

Yet who knew that purple-haired guy was a poor loser, seeing Chang Su leaving, his evil mindset was inclined towards his guts, he casually grabbed the wrench that fell next to him and gritted his teeth, following Chang Su from behind.

On the way he’s doing it, it was obvious he wanted to mount a sneak attack.

Wu Shijiu noticed that something was wrong and quickly warned: “Bro Chang! Careful! Behind you!”

But it turns out that Chang Su need not be careful of what was behind him, it was the thing in front of him.

He looked up, only for a moment dazed, then decisively turned around and ran back with his long legs, quickly bypassing the purple-haired guy like he was in a 100 meters sprint.

The purple-haired guy hadn't even lifted the wrench to act and was then confused.

Then he felt something heavy smashed in front of him.

…It was a zombie falling down from the window.

Soon, there were more zombies, one after another, leaping down from the window.

And outside the factory gates, there was also a sudden violent crashing sound.

There was another group of zombies there, waiting to break in.
