Buried with Me

"Every time you complete a mission—that is, survive a horror movie—you'll receive a thousand reward points. You can exchange those thousand points for many things, such as the right to live in that horror movie's world for a hundred days..." the black-haired young man said calmly. A middle-aged man beside the girl with glasses said, "Who'd want to spend more time in a horror world like this unless they were crazy? Wouldn't that be asking to die?"

The black-haired young man sneered but said nothing. The girl with glasses touched her forehead and said, "No, I think I understand what he means. There are many kinds of horror movies. One kind is a technological horror movie like Resident Evil, where everything can be explained by science, with nothing supernatural or demonic about it. In other words, apart from the place where the story is happening, the rest of the world should be normal..."

The black-haired young man snapped his fingers. "Bingo! That's right. Those hundred extra days really do mean living normally somewhere else in this world for a hundred days. Think about it. After you've been through several trials of life and death, what kind of happiness would it be to live peacefully and without worries in a normal part of this world..."

At the black-haired young man's words, a glint flashed in the eyes of the white-collar young man and the girl with glasses. The other five wore various expressions: some were frightened, some excited, and some at a loss.

The black-haired young man continued, "Besides exchanging points for days to live, you can exchange them for many other things. Take this Desert Eagle with unlimited ammunition. It costs only a hundred points, or ten days of living rights. In addition, a person's average attributes comprise six categories: intelligence, mental strength, cell vitality, neural reaction speed, muscle tissue strength, and immunity. You can exchange one day's living rights for one point in any of them. An ordinary person has a rating of a hundred in each of the six. In other words, as long as you survive this horror movie, you can make yourself twice as strong as you are now. Survive a hundred horror movies, and you'll become a superhuman!"

The girl with glasses asked calmly, "Then, going back to the original question, how many reward points does it take for us to return to our own world?"

"Fifty thousand!" The black-haired young man pulled another cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag. "You'd need to survive fifty horror movies without spending any of your rewards. Then you could go back."

Several people fell silent at once. According to the black-haired young man, surviving fifty horror movies without using reward points to strengthen themselves was simply impossible.

"Of course, a thousand points per horror movie is the basic reward. You can also earn extra points during a movie. For example, I just explained all this to you. According to the 'Lord God's' rules, explaining the rules to newcomers earns me a hundred reward points. And you should have noticed that you're each wearing a strange watch, right?" The black-haired young man raised his left hand. On it was a black watch made entirely of metal, plain and simple in design.

Everyone looked at their left wrists. The watches displayed several pieces of information: a countdown at three hours and seven minutes, and a list of data categories, such as the number of zombies, the number of Lickers, and the number of newcomers...

"For every ten zombies you kill, you get one reward point. For every Licker you kill, you get a hundred. And for every newcomer you kill... you get a thousand reward points..." After saying this, the black-haired young man gave Zheng Zha and the others a malicious look. Only Zheng Zha and the girl with glasses calmly looked back at him.

"Negative reward points, of course..."

The black-haired young man looked at Zheng Zha and the girl with glasses and sneered. "All right, if you have any more questions, ask them quickly. This horror movie is about to officially begin."

The black-haired young man kept talking with the white-collar young man and the girl with glasses, revealing one piece of information after another about Lord God Space that left them trembling with fear.

While they were talking,

Ye Siyu watched everything coldly, as though none of it had anything to do with him. "Is he a veteran too?" the girl with glasses suddenly asked, pointing at Ye Siyu, who was smoking nearby. Exceptionally observant, she had noticed Ye Siyu standing to the side smoking from the very beginning. As an author,

"No, he's a newcomer, just like you," the black-haired young man said in response, turning his gaze to Ye Siyu, a trace of something strange in his eyes.

Hearing this, the others looked at Ye Siyu curiously. They had not expected someone as calm as Ye Siyu to be a newcomer like them. But compared with the rest of the newcomers, wasn't Ye Siyu a little too calm? It was as if he didn't care at all.

Screech! Tires scraped against the track with a piercing sound as the train gradually slowed to a stop.

The foreign mercenaries then gripped their guns and cautiously headed outside. The black-haired young man was the first to stride out without a care. After looking at Ye Siyu and the others, the girl with glasses followed him out.

Seeing this, the rest immediately followed. Only Ye Siyu was left in the once-bustling carriage, quietly smoking his cigarette.

Huff! Ye Siyu exhaled his last puff of smoke, casually tossed away the cigarette butt, and quietly walked out.

But instead of following them immediately, he went straight to the back of the carriage.

"Where are you going?" The chubby young man walking at the rear noticed Ye Siyu's strange behavior and called out. The quiet atmosphere on the platform was broken at once, and everyone, including the mercenaries, looked at Ye Siyu.

"Who is he? Was this man in the carriage just now?" The mercenary captain, James Shade, frowned deeply as he looked at Ye Siyu and asked the companion beside him.

"I'll check now," replied computer expert Chad Kaplan, who was carrying a box containing door-opening equipment with another companion. He opened the miniature computer on his arm and checked the information.

"Stop!" While Chad Kaplan was checking the information, Ye Siyu had reached the very end of the carriage. The mercenary captain immediately raised his rifle and aimed it at him.

Seeing a gun pointed at Ye Siyu, the white-collar young man and the others looked horrified. They had thought they only had an advantage in

"If I were you, I wouldn't shoot." With the gun pointed at him, Ye Siyu showed no panic at all. Under the mercenaries' astonished gazes, he pulled a cell phone from his pants pocket.

"If you shoot, boom, every one of you will be buried with me," Ye Siyu said, smiling at them.
