Chapter 115: Chapter 115 – Breeze’s Villain Arc Wicked End [1]
The group proceeded to the middle of the city, where many big buildings, such as malls and skyscrapers, were located.
The zombies were more active at night, and they were having trouble dealing with them.
Max was also attacked by zombies when he followed them. He was about to get found out many times, so he had to change his strategy. Currently, he moved through the roof, jumping around and watching them from above like a hawk.
"There are fewer zombies on the roof. I should've done this from the start." He whispered quietly. "However, StoneSword is insane. He killed all these zombies easily. I don't think that I even mattered at all. They can survive the night easily."
StoneSword decimated the zombies easily. His movement was fast and precise, only aiming at the zombie's head. He flowed like water, and his strike was as hard as the hardest stone.
"Maybe that's why he used StoneSword instead of SwordMaster or SwordSaint as his handle name." He nodded in understanding.
— Well, there is that. But both names have been taken
— There are many people in this world and almost all of them have an account. If you look at your account, you will see tags! StoneSword said he wanted to have a single digit tag, so he chose that name
— What do you expect? He had played the game for a long time.
— Rather, it's amazing that Breeze can match his skill with his little experience
— Brocolli… Cabbage… It's only… Garbage…
— He's not a former Knight's Journey world record holder and a former professional gamer for nothing.
"Hmm, former professional gamer, huh?"
That was new for Max. But it wasn't important at all. The group had moved again after dealing with the enemies blocking their way. They began to run toward a certain building.
Standing up, Max looked at where they were going. Once he got a rough idea, he also began to move.
"Well, it seems they are aiming for a mall, as we had expected. It makes things a bit complicated but easier at the same time. That Infected is also in the mall, right? I remember one of you guys said it before."
— Yeah, it's in the basement
— They will definitely not go there, so you can move freely
— There will be many zombies, but I trust you! You can do it!
— Go go, Breeze! Fck Flexy in his 4ss!
— That's gay, bruh. But fck them still!
— Yikes… Boys…
Max began to run at full speed after getting the chat confirmation. He moved through the roof of the destroyed building without even stopping for a while. He jumped through the gap, climbed the pipe, and even went through the destroyed windows.
Naturally, the zombies inside the buildings were woken up, but he ignored them and just ran. He had to get to the mall before the group and finish his preparation because there would be no more buildings near the mall.
There was a chance he would be seen if he took his sweet time. And if he was too late, the group probably would suspect something and leave quickly. StoneSword unexpectedly had a good instinct. And Flexy could smell danger, as he was used to making one.
He managed to arrive before them by using a shortcut. He quickly entered the dark mall from behind and found the way to the basement.
It didn't need to be mentioned that the basement was also half-destroyed, with rubbles everywhere. Blobbies could be seen sticking on the floor, wall, and even in the ceiling. The good news was there was no spider web everywhere.
"It's like I am entering a haunted house. Is this game actually a horror instead of a survival one? Because I am a bit scared now."
— There is a horror subgenre to this game
— Can't say anything. Those Infecteds are creepy. I understand why they made it, but creepy things are creepy
— I believe that your female viewers are also thinking the same, Breeze. Hehe, your last 10K viewers now reduced to 8K.
— I love horror! But the monsters here are just disgusting
"Well, I can't force them to stay either."
What they said was indeed correct. It made him a bit disappointed, but it was normal. His viewer count decreased to 8528 after the last stream. That just showed how much some of his audiences hated this game.
'I might change a game soon. But I will also keep streaming this game until I build level 10 shelter or finish the only storyline, discovering the original virus.' He thought.
'Yeah, that might be the best choice. I can also open my server to my fans by changing it to a community server.'
He proceeded deeper into the basement, turning around a few times in an intersection, and went through a narrow path covered in rubble. All was for a prank; the final episode of his villain arc started by Flexy and StoneSword.
A destroyed steel door was hanging on its frame at the deepest part of the basement, trying its best to look fine. A red light from the alarm connected to an emergency solar-powered power supply lit the 'Storage Room' sign covered in rust.
This was the room Max tried to reach, where that Infected was sleeping in wait. The one that all his viewers avoided and feared. They also said that it was banned to meet this Infected in most community servers due to how destructive it was.
Its spawn point was always in the deepest part of the basement as if it was the final boss of V-Shelter Survival. However, it wasn't. It was just a unique Infected.
"Let's see what this Infected that you guys feared so much looks like."
Slowly, he walked past the half-destroyed metal door and entered the room. A red alarm light was also inside, flickering every second, giving this room a horror atmosphere. Max didn't like it here, but his target was located anywhere in this room.
Bracing himself, he began to look around to see the sign of Infected. The creatures all had one similarity: there would be a head that served as its weak point as well as protect its brain. So anything, even if it looked like a trash bin, that had a head could be Infected.
And he found it.
"Is that it?" He asked the viewers hesitantly. Why not? What he saw wasn't in the realm of this world anymore. It could as well be called an abomination.
A meter-tall signpost stood under the flickering alarm light. Its pipe was red, with Blobby grown on it. At the top of the pipe, four heads were growing. They all twisted and bloodied. Their mouths were open, whispering some incomprehensible curses.
— Yeah! That's it!
— That f*cker! I hope I don't see it anymore!
— Why does it exist? WHY?!!
— The dev is definitely a sadist that they could think of this creature when they created this game
— Signpost of Death. Any player who had got its attention would die regardless of their equipment. Then, a catastrophic event will befall the server!
— Approach it, and you will finish your villainous act in a wicked way!
"That's truly wicked, alright." Max sneered and approached the signpost of death.
Even if it was called that, its official name was Screamer. And just as its name, what this Infected could do was only scream. It was that simple.
However…
When Max entered a 3-meter radius from Screamer, its four heads suddenly stopped whispering and snapped to his direction. Their eyes were wide open, revealing empty eye sockets filled with maggots.
And just as Max stopped, they screamed.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA."
"BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB."
"CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC."
"DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD."
Max couldn't understand what happened next. When he realized it, he had entered the ghost state.
He looked down to see what happened to him. His body was lying down with his head gone. The flesh and brain matter, which were censored with mosaic, were scattered around his severed neck. It probably burst open from hearing that voice earlier.
(Seriously?) His dumbfounded voice sounded ethereal.
The Screamer still continued screaming the alphabet one by one.
"GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG"
"HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
It was both annoying and loud. But more importantly, Max wondered why they screamed the alphabet.
(Does the developer love alphabets? Is this their kink?)
— It's one of seven wonders in V-Shelter Survival
— Just wait, you will see something surprising
— It's not called V-Shelter Survival because the V is Virus. This signpost is the reason why it's called V!
"TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT"
"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
They suddenly stopped when they reached U. The four heads looked up and opened their mouths wide. Then…
"V!"
At that moment, the world shook as if the end had arrived.
