Chapter 268: Improvising
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The feeling of being held at gunpoint was not good, but Sun Han still arranged his work in an orderly manner, while he directly controlled the internal voice communication with the NPC.
“Third Floor #1, can you hear me? The guests are heading to the third floor. Chase them back to the utility room on the second floor.” Sun Han tried his best to control his tone and maintain a normal tone, carefully modifying the NPC’s action plan.
In order to facilitate communication, they called the NPCs according to their location.
Third Floor #1 heard the instructions from the internal communication earpiece. It was different from the initial arrangement, but it was normal for there to be changes in a live variety show, so he did not ask much.
By then, Bai Lin and the others had reached the third floor and were about to reach the hidden spot of the NPC.
When Bai Lin and Yan Ruo had pa.s.sed by this place earlier, the two of them had deliberately lightened their steps and concealed their presence. In addition, there were no instructions from the inside line of communication, so the NPC had not discovered them.
There was no avoiding it now.
Third Floor #1 was dressed as a researcher with zombified symptoms. His white coat was covered in blood, the bandage on his head was half undone, and there was a fake wound on his face that was even bleeding. He looked very terrifying.
At this time, a few comments from the moderators also came across the top of the livestream channel.
[Moderator: The zombies in this program are either played by the staff or simulated by full sensory simulation technology. The production team will ensure the safety of all the staff and guests.]
As a result, the doubts in the livestream finally subsided.
Third Floor #1 listened carefully for the sound of footsteps and jumped out from the side of the stairs in time.
“Save me! Please save me!” Third Floor #1 shouted in his hoa.r.s.e voice as he reached out to grab Ye Xing’s ankle. Ye Xing walked on the left and was the closest to him.
Ye Xing was already in a nervous state and did not even dare to breathe loudly. Suddenly, someone came out from the side and grabbed her foot, giving her a big fright. She opened her mouth but did not dare to scream. Only two lines of tears flowed down.
Third Floor #1 raised his head and was about to ask for help when he saw four people in white coats. It was Cheng Nan and the others.
Third Floor #1: ?
Cheng Nan: ?
Third Floor #1 was stunned.
He was the only zombified researcher among the NPCs arranged. The others were either disguised as mutated animals or zombies. He had never heard there being healthy researchers.
Bai Lin squatted down in front of Third Floor #1 and asked, “Are you a researcher here?”
Third Floor #1 recognized Bai Lin. He did not have time to ask about the background of the four extra researchers and could only adjust his expression and start reciting his memorized lines.
“I’m one of the lucky survivors of the accident. The others have either turned into zombies or died! I thought I could hide until the rescue team comes, but as time pa.s.sed, my body started to change. I’ve lost my ability to move now.” Bai Lin pondered for a moment. “How many zombies are there?”
“I’m not sure. Back then, they… sigh…” Third Floor #1 sighed, as if he was unwilling to talk about the past. “I’ve been hiding here for a long time. As long as you find the source of the mutation, you can save me. Please! Please save me!”
When Bai Lin stood up without saying anything, Third Floor #1 quickly said,
“You guys can go to the utility room on the second floor first! It’s in the middle
of the second floor. You’ll find what you need there.”
The director did not specify the lines, so he needed to improvise.
Third Floor #1 praised himself inwardly, ‘These lines are not bad!’
“This isn’t a zombie, so we don’t need to kill it.” Bai Lin’s eyes seemed to unintentionally sweep over Cheng Nan. However, her eyes moved away so quickly that Cheng Nan did not notice.
However, Bai Lin had caught a glimpse of panic on Cheng Nan’s face in that instant.
The only message that could be conveyed to Bai Lin was that Cheng Nan’s underlings were only these three people by her side.
If there were other people lying in ambush in the research inst.i.tute, they should have figured out the internal structure of the inst.i.tute and the location of the NPCs in advance, instead of not knowing who was in the place Since that was the case, things would be much easier.
Bai Lin was confident that she could take on four of them at once.
“What do we need? Is it a weapon? Or a map or something?” Li Xuan directly asked, but Third Floor #1 had already completed his task and no longer spoke.
“Let’s go. Since there’s such a hint, let’s go and take a look.” Bai Lin led the way to the second floor, but they took a detour to another staircase in order to avoid the zombies.
Sun Han heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Bai Lin’s words. He was really afraid that this girl would go against the production team at this critical juncture..
