Survival Game (Unlimited) Chapter 1

Chapter 1 : Death Game

A figure fell sharply in front of the mall's entrance, accompanied by a loud bang and splattering blood.

A drop of warm liquid fell on Yu Su's cheek. She looked down at her now bloodstained dress, then at the broken body less than three meters ahead.

The deceased was facing upward when he landed, and his face was quite complete–It was a familiar face.

At this moment, that reckless man was lying on a pool of blood with his eyes wide open, without a trace of life.

After a brief silence, the surrounding pa.s.sersby screamed.

Yu Su slowly used her index finger to wipe the blood on her cheek, the corners of her mouth bent into a faint smile.

That man was right. This game would really kill people.

–

One day ago.

The scene before Yu Su suddenly changed from her familiar bedroom to a strange room.

The heavy curtains blocked the dim light from outside the window. It took Yu Su a little time to see that she was in a somewhat aged hotel room.

She was sitting on a double bed, half-leaning on the pillows. Her eyes moved from the window to the bathroom.

With a "click", the bathroom door opened.

A tall, handsome man was wiping his wet hair with a towel. He slowly stepped out and smiled at Yu Su.

He was wearing a white shirt with unbuckled b.u.t.tons, revealing the beautiful abdominal muscles which looked very s.e.xy.

What's this situation?! 

Yu Su sat up straight, a hundred thoughts rushed inside her mind. It was hard to resist the urge to open the quilt, she wanted to check whether she was wearing pants or not.

Before Yu Su could say anything, two mobile phones' prompts rang at the same time.

Two identical mobile phones are placed on the bedside tables, each on the right and left sides of the bed, its screen lit up. Yu Su hesitated and reached for her mobile phone.

On the phone screen, there was a message :

【The man in the room is your fiancé. You two are travelling together to the Ancient Town.】

"…" Fiancé? Yu Su looked at the man, speechless.

The man put his mobile phone inside his pocket and narrowed his eyes at Yu Su, “Why, do I look good, my lovely fiancée?”

Yu Su coughed, took her gaze back and asked, “Where is this? I'm clearly in my bedroom before.” 

“Well?" The man sat down on the bed and looked at her for a moment before asking, “Are you a newcomer?”

Yu Su was a little puzzled, “What do you mean by a newcomer?”

“Before you came here, did an APP suddenly appear on your mobile phone? And, did you open it?” 

“Yes.” Yu Su answered.

She was on vacation, with nothing to do, suddenly discovered there is an APP called “Death Game” on her mobile phone.

She thought she might have accidentally installed it, and felt that the icon looked pretty good. She wanted to use the game to kill time. Unexpectedly, just after she clicked the confirmation b.u.t.ton, she abruptly appeared at this place.

Thinking of this, Yu Su looked up and asked the man, “Is this because of the game?”

The man let out a low laugh and his eyes shone with interest, “This is the first time I've seen such a calm newcomer like you.” 

Yu Su didn't get the answer to her question, she inquired again, “Then, can you explain it to me?"

The man raised his eyebrows, glanced over her mobile phone, he narrowed his eyes and smiled: “Of course, I'd be happy to answer my fiancée.” 

Yu Su: “…….”

The man claimed to be called w.a.n.g San. As soon as Yu Su heard it, she understood that it's a pseudonym, so Yu Su also reported a pseudonym: “Su Yu.” (Also means “Salmon”(苏鱼), the "Yu(鱼)" used a different character from her real name: 余苏) 

w.a.n.g San explained, “First of all, I must remind you that if you die inside the game, you will also die in reality within 24 hours.” 

After his brief explanation, Yu Su had a general understanding of the game.

This was a game that overturned her 23 years of worldview. Who would imagine that a mobile APP could bring people to different worlds?

w.a.n.g San said, “Most of the world have ghosts. Every mission will be randomly given to the players. What kind of world they will enter and what danger will be encountered were unknown until they received the mission. As for how to complete the mission, the players were required to explore it themselves.”

People who died in the mission world, no matter the cause of death was, will certainly die in reality, and the death time is within 24 hours after the end of the game.

He didn't say much, but finally reminded, “Pay attention to hide your personal information, including your real name.” 

After that, he stopped talking. Yu Su knew that it couldn't be as simple as that, but the other party didn't want to talk anymore, so she didn't ask more.

She nodded and said, “Thank you very much.” 

After a pause, she asked, “That, are we partners?”

w.a.n.g San gave her a sideways look, apparently saw her thoughts of holding thighs. He bent the corner of his lips, and slowly spoke, “As long as you're obedient, you won't die.” 

Yu Su praised like a dog, “As expected of big brother, how confident!” 

The voice just fell, when the phone screen lit up again, showing 【Go to the hall downstairs at 08.00 P.M. 】

The current time was 07:45 P.M., Yu Su took out a casual outfit from the suitcase in the room and went to the bathroom.

At 7:53, Yu Su and w.a.n.g San walked out together. Almost at the same time, the door on the left room opened. A brawny man and a pet.i.te girl came out.

Yu Su noticed that the strong man looked very uneasy, in contrast with the girl who seemed very calm.

“Let's go, Xiao Yu.” w.a.n.g San called.

Yu Su nodded, but couldn't resist for a moment, “Okay, Xiao San.” (Xiao San = Little Three, also means the third person in a relationship) 

“Ah.”  

w.a.n.g San smiled at her, Yu Su also laughed but she felt her hair standing on end.

This dog's life was very important, Yu Su didn't dare to annoy him anymore. She had to hold his thigh after all. She coughed and corrected herself, “It's a joke, big brother. Let's go.” 

 —

There was a big dining table in the hall. Yu Su sat down on the right side with w.a.n.g San, while the brawny man and girl sat at on the other side, occupying the seats farthest from them.

Yu Su's position was facing the hotel's entrance. The wooden door, which looked very old, was open, and she could see the heavy rain outside with a glance.

Those raindrops were so heavy that they fell on the ground like stones and splashed a lot of water. It must be painful if it hit people.

At this time, there was a rushing sound from the wooden stairs. Yu Su turned her head and saw a thin man running down in panic.

He saw the four people sitting in the hall, his face getting uglier, “Who are you guys, are you part of pyramid scheme?! I want to leave now!”

Without waiting for the four people to respond, he ran quickly towards the entrance.

w.a.n.g San's right index finger tapped on the table. He slowly said to the running man, “I advise you not to go out, otherwise, you will die.” 

The man's foot nearly reached the door, he turned his head and looked at w.a.n.g San fiercely. He bit his teeth and exclaimed, “You dare to kill people?!”

When he finished speaking, he rushed into the rain curtain at a faster speed.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Just three steps later, Yu Su saw his body suddenly trembled, and a hoa.r.s.e scream broke outー

The rain dripped on him like sulfuric acid. From the top of his head, hair, then skin began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eyes, revealing the flesh and blood beneath his skin.

In less than ten seconds, that person became a b.l.o.o.d.y man without skin! He was still alive at this time, rolling in pain, letting out a miserable cry that seemed to come from h.e.l.l, making the listener's hair stand on end.

After another half a minute, his scream gradually faded, his body stopped moving, and he laid in the heavy rain, letting the rain wash away his flesh and blood.

Yu Su felt her heartbeat quicken, the strange feeling of fear and excitement made her felt a slight expectation.

Yes, she was looking forward to itー

The ordinary, boring, constrained life had finally changed.

“Geez, every time you can always run into that kind of brainless newcomer.” 

A girl who looked like a student came down from the stairs. She looked at most sixteen or seventeen years old, yet her face was filled with indifference and disdain, as if the one who died was just an insignificant ant.

“There's no need to bother telling the basic situation to that kind of person. At first glance, it's clear he won't survive.” She spoke as she came over.

Yu Su thought it was obvious that the man died. He didn't understand the current situation at all.

The little girl's gaze observed the people on the hall, starting from Yu Su, going to the next person one by one until the last, and finally, her gaze returned to w.a.n.g san, then she sat down at his other side.

The time showed on the mobile phone's screen soon became 8 o'clock.

At that moment, the closed door on the right side opened. Yu Su turned around and saw a middle-aged woman in her forties, step by step coming out while pushing a dining cart.

The food on the dining cart was very good. From the time the woman came out, a burst of fragrance that evoked their appet.i.te lingered at the tip of everyone's nose.

The middle-aged woman had a very gentle smile while she set up the food on the table. After she finished, she said with a smile, “It's not the right time for you to visit. It's raining so hard outside, even I'm not sure when will it stop.” 

No one spoke. After a moment, w.a.n.g San laughed, “It doesn't matter. I have a lot of time with my baby, we can spare a few more days.” 

Baby?! Yu Su had just eaten cabbage and almost bit her tongue when she heard that word.

The middle-aged woman said happily, “I envy you, young people. I'm going to clean up the kitchen, just come to me if you need something.” 

The little girl who looked like a student asked, “Madame, are you the only one taking care of this large hotel?”

The middle-aged woman shook her head and smiled, “No way. My daughter and son-in-law have gone to other places these two days, they'll come back in a few days.”  

Yu Su hung her head down and plucked the white rice with her chopsticks. According to the game, the middle-aged woman was the only NPC in the hotel. 

Since they didn't know both the mission and how to complete it, the NPC in the game should've given them clues.

Yu Su had just thought about it, and the middle-aged woman gave an “ah” sound, patted her head and laughed, “Yes, I almost forgot to tell you that we aren't safe at night. If someone knocks at the door in the middle of the night, don't open it.” 

For some reason, Yu Su felt that her last sentence sounded quite profound.
