Chapter 372: Chapter 371: Victims Behind the Holographic Reality Show, Part 24

Wen Chulin saw Ah Chen staring at a certain spot and followed her gaze. When he realized what it was, his scalp tingled, cold sweat broke out all over his back, and even his forehead started to sweat.

He involuntarily stepped back two steps, just bumping into the car behind him.

At that moment, he saw that a new road had appeared in front of the villa, along with some plants, and the area was widening. There was another car on the road, but it was damaged, with shattered windows and dents on the roof, and there were dark bloodstains beside the car.

What’s going on?

Wen Chulin gasped, his body shaking instinctively.

Is this still the virtual world?

We’re still in the virtual world, right?

“Sister, we’re still in the virtual world, aren’t we?” Wen Chulin asked hopefully, his expression urgent and fearful, a mix of negative emotions etched on his face. The sudden change left him unprepared, only hoping they were still in the virtual world.

Otherwise, how could something so absurd happen?

This is definitely not something that could happen in reality.

It must be fake!

It’s virtual!

The program isn’t over yet.

Yes, it must be like that!

Ah Chen was unusually calm and, hearing Wen Chulin’s words, she turned to look at him and said softly, “I suppose it’s not. This is reality. The program ended, and didn’t they ask us if we learned it? It wasn’t aimed at your Wen Family but rather using the virtual world to inform the public.”

“The second virtual world was more about educating on the apocalypse, on handling the integration of two worlds. Not many believe it, but some do, so the lesson wasn’t pointless.”

“I don’t know if I will become a superpower user or a zombie.” Ah Chen smiled at Wen Chulin with her eyes, “Junior, are you afraid? If I become a zombie, your head will definitely not be safe.”

Wen Chulin staggered back in fear and quickly retreated, painfully bumping into the car.

Seeing him so frightened, Ah Chen laughed out loud, as expected of the timid image she remembered from the commissioner’s memories.

Without paying further attention to Wen Chulin, Ah Chen looked towards the newly appeared villa next door, sensing that there were still living people inside, presumably underground. Outside, there were surveillance cameras, and she even felt a sense of spying.

The people in the villa were watching her through the surveillance.

While she was evaluating the surroundings, Wen Chulin got into the car and drove away quickly.

Seeing Bei Chen retreating constantly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but upon noticing the abundance of objects around him again, his heart sank.

Is this the virtual world?

How could such a thing happen in reality?

It must be the virtual world; he will wake up.

Ah Chen didn’t chase after him. Instead, she glanced at the villa in front of her; something inside was pulling her in. She wanted to enter.

At that moment, two zombies appeared beside the car, seemingly sniffing her scent and preparing to attack.

Originally, she could crush their heads with one punch, but she suddenly thought of something and just tore out the car’s seatbelt to tie them up.

What if?

What if the potion she researched in the virtual world could restore them to their original state?

If it really doesn’t work, humanity will still have to eliminate these mindless zombies for survival, there’s no choice but to consider the living.

“Is anyone there?” Ah Chen asked the surveillance camera.

After waiting for five seconds, a calm yet clumsy voice suddenly sounded, as if it hadn’t spoken for a long time: “People?”

“Yes, humans.” Ah Chen answered, “Can I come in?”

“Be wary of your surroundings, don’t let those things in.” The voice sounded again. Xie Fuguang looked at the young woman on the screen, and he shouldn’t let people in casually, but seeing her, he found himself unable to say no.

It was an uncontrollable emotion, he disliked this feeling of being out of control.

But there’s really no way to just let her leave.

She didn’t look like a bad person, looking so adorable, how could she be a bad person?

He instinctively ignored how she easily tore out the seatbelt to tie up the two zombies.

Moreover, the potion was already complete; he wasn’t afraid of being disturbed.

Xie Fuguang pressed a button, and the highly fortified gate opened. He spoke in a stiff tone: “Hurry up.”

Ah Chen quickly walked through the door, and that extremely stiff voice rang out again: “If I were bad, you’d be finished.”

Xie Fuguang didn’t know why he suddenly said that, even feeling annoyed at her lack of caution.

He quickly realized, why was he so uncontrollable?

They clearly didn’t know each other, she wasn’t anybody to him, why say and do these things?

“You probably couldn’t beat me.” Ah Chen asked with a smile.

Xie Fuguang paused, then snorted coldly: “Don’t overestimate yourself, I’ve got weapons beyond your imagination here, poison, even superpower users that come here would have to shed a layer.”

“You must be really formidable then, are you really going to treat me that way?”

“Who said I’m going to deal with you?” Xie Fuguang quickly added, “I’m not trying to deal with you, I’m not a bad person.”

“Bad people like to say they’re not bad; you must be a bad person, I’m not going in, I want out, let me out.”

Xie Fuguang was about to explode with anger. It was his first time encountering such infuriating behavior: “This isn’t a place you can enter or exit as you wish; once you’re in, don’t think about leaving.”

“You’re illegally detaining me.” Ah Chen said.

Xie Fuguang, exasperated, replied: “It’s the apocalypse now, nobody cares, who told you to trust people so easily? That’s the price.”

Really infuriating.

Kindly letting her in, and she said he’s illegally detaining.

“Okay, I know you’re a good person.”

“You’re a good person, right?”

Xie Fuguang felt a little better but still a bit annoyed: “No, I’m a bad person, you’re gonna see soon, I won’t let you out.”

Ah Chen chuckled: “You must be a good person, what’s your name?”

“Xie Fuguang.” After instinctively replying, Xie Fuguang felt something was wrong and added, “Anyway, I’m not letting you out, now you know who you’re messing with.”

Walking into the living room, there were actually several zombies tied up inside, struggling slightly upon seeing her.

“No need to fear, they won’t break free.” Xie Fuguang’s voice sounded in her ear, “Go to the left, enter that room, there’s everything you need. You can live there, and meals will be delivered on schedule.”

Evidently, he intended to temporarily settle her there.

“Currently, the safety here is still very high.”

Ah Chen entered the room, indeed as Xie Fuguang described, everything was there: “You’re truly a good person.”

Xie Fuguang looked at the young woman on the screen, hearing her compliment, his face flushed slightly, coldly asking: “Hungry?”
