Soon, Wang Batian and the others left.
Only Luo Xiaolu's weak and helpless cries could be heard in the forest. The night was bleak and the moonlight was dim.
A little girl who didn't have a single gold coin on her and only relied on a finger-length dagger to protect herself. One could imagine what her ending would be.
Night was the time when zombies were most active.
…
"Huhuhuhu …"
[Your family has invited you to a video chat.]
[Accept. Decline.]
Two rows of screens suddenly popped up in front of Luo Xiaolu. A flame pattern was branded on the back of her left hand, and it was flickering weakly.
Luo Xiaolu quickly wiped the tears off her face and tried her best to look normal. She did not want her family to worry.
Luo Xiaolu turned out to be a very ordinary high school student on Mercury. Just like her classmates, she enjoyed the best youth of her life without any worries. Apart from a few unfortunate moments, her life was generally peaceful and comfortable.
However, ten days ago, a sudden disaster struck all of humanity.
Seven billion people woke up and were shocked to find that they had all transmigrated!
All of humanity had transmigrated to a foreign world. Everyone was bound to a civilization system.
The civilization system informed everyone that Mercury was currently in a global survival game. There were a total of ten billion zombies in this world. Here, everyone had to survive and rebuild human civilization in the other world. If they died in the other world, it would be a true and complete death.
The civilization system was like a game fairy in an online game. It introduced the rules of the global survival game to humans and its functions.
It had three communication channels. One was the world channel, the second was the regional channel, and the third was the family channel. Apart from that, it was also a game store. Every time a human killed a zombie, it would reward the human with gold coins. The human could use the gold coins to buy all kinds of daily necessities in the store.
Daily necessities could be bought in the system store. Treasure chests would also randomly spawn in the wild. The higher the level of the treasure chest, the more abundant the resources it contained. In short, this foreign world was designed exactly like an online game.
When all of humanity came back to their senses, the world channel was flooded with messages!
Almost everyone was commenting on the world channel. Some said that this transmigration was a plot by aliens. The aliens used super technology to connect all of humanity's brainwaves to the virtual world. As long as they died in the virtual world, they could return to the real world.
Some said that this was a game designed by the high-dimensional lifeforms out of boredom, just like how humans fought crickets. In the eyes of the high-dimensional lifeforms, humans were equivalent to crickets being fought.
In short, there were all sorts of theories, but no one knew the truth.
After experiencing the initial panic and fear, humans could only helplessly accept reality and begin the difficult path of survival in the Other World.
Five days before they transmigrated, everyone had a safe base with plenty of food and water. As long as they stayed in the base, they would be absolutely safe. Zombies would not be able to enter the base. This was the game's protective measure, and it was meant to allow all humans to be more familiar with the Other World.
Luo Xiaolu had stayed in the base for the past five days, using the family channel to communicate with her family.
Five days later, the game removed its protective measures. The base, food, and water were all gone. Luo Xiaolu had no choice but to head out into the wilderness to search for supplies.
She was very lucky. Not long after she set off, she met a survival team and successfully joined them.
At the same time, she was also very unlucky. As soon as she joined the team, it was as if the team was cursed. They would encounter zombies wherever they went, and there was no trace of food at all. When they finally found a treasure chest, it turned out to be worthless trash!
As a result, the team was furious. They unanimously decided that Luo Xiaolu was a jinx and everyone was dragged down by her. They wanted to chase her out.
Then, Luo Xiaolu met Wang Batian's team.
Then, Luo Xiaolu was chased out and abandoned.
…
…
Wiping away her tears, Luo Xiaolu forced a smile and accepted the video call invitation from her family.
"Xiaolu, why did you take so long to accept the video call?" Mr. and Mrs. Luo asked with concern.
"I was chopping firewood just now. Our team is going to start a fire and cook later," Luo Xiaolu said.
"Let me see your food," Luo Xiaolu's brother said.
Luo Xiaolu's brother, Luo Shuyang, said. He was a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked very energetic.
"I'm still chopping firewood outside. I can only take photos of the food when we get back."
Luo Xiaolu lied nervously. As she spoke, she used the flame pattern on the back of her hand to illuminate the surrounding forest to prove that she wasn't lying.
Luo Shuyang and her parents didn't suspect her because they had seen her teammates in the video call last night. It was impossible for his sister to be abandoned by the team in just one day, right?
"Let me show you my big brother's feast tonight!"
Luo Shuyang said proudly. He aimed the video call at the iron pot in front of him. It was full of meat.
"We're very lucky today. Our team opened a black-iron treasure chest and got five pounds of pork. It's enough for us to eat for a day. Awesome!"
Luo Xiaolu was silent. "…"
Her brother opened a black-iron treasure chest and got five pounds of pork, while her team opened a gold treasure chest and got a bag of trash. There was really no comparison between people.
Luo Shuyang saw his sister's strange expression and thought that she was hungry. He said, "Xiaolu, don't be afraid. Once I finish building the shelter here and settle down, I'll look for you. Then, I'll bring you to eat and drink well. Even in the other world, I'll let you live a good life!"
"Yes, yes!" Luo Xiaolu nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Xiaolu, be careful when you're chopping firewood outside. Be careful not to lose anything," Father Luo reminded her.
Mother Luo was worried. "Child, you've been unlucky since you were young. You'll be more likely to encounter danger in the other world. You have to follow your teammates closely. Safety first."
"I know. Don't worry, Dad, Mom. You have to be careful too. I still have to chop firewood now. I can't talk to you anymore."
Then, Luo Xiaolu hurriedly hung up the video call. She was afraid that she would cry if she continued.
"Why am I so unlucky? I really don't want to implicate others!"
Luo Xiaolu mumbled to herself. Her lovely face was filled with despair and bitterness.
Back on Mercury, everyone who knew her knew that she was a notoriously unlucky child.
Her things always broke easily. She rode her bicycle for two days and had a flat tire. She couldn't catch the bus back and forth. She often lost money due to various accidents. Her exam results were always at the bottom of the grade. Well, this had nothing to do with luck. She relied on her own abilities.
However, when she finally did a good deed and helped an old lady who had fallen, she was blackmailed by the old lady. Her family had no choice but to compensate the old lady with a large sum of money.
