“Hello, my name is Sakurajima Mai.”
Facing an unknown stranger who could be friend or foe, Sakurajima Mai’s demeanor was very proper and dignified.
She did not show any fear, nor did she display excessive aggression.
“Lu Chen.”
Lu Chen nodded in acknowledgment, subconsciously extending his hand, then realized that she might not be receptive to physical contact with the opposite sex.
But to his surprise, the black-haired girl in her high school uniform hesitated for a moment.
Then, she also reached out and gently shook Lu Chen’s hand as a sign of friendliness.
Though her small hand retracted almost instantly.
Lu Chen could still feel the softness and warmth of her slender, delicate hand.
“It seems… the ‘Love at First Sight’ keyword has been triggered.”
Noticing this, Lu Chen immediately understood, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Seeing Sakurajima Mai acting as if nothing had happened, he had thought the keyword hadn't taken effect.
Now it seemed... this was probably her emotional management ability as a popular actress.
Clearing his throat, Lu Chen said to the girl before him.
“Since we’ve been teleported together, we’re quite fated, aren’t we?”
“How about we team up to explore this dangerous zone?”
This suggestion made Sakurajima Mai breathe a small sigh of relief, her tense nerves gradually relaxing.
She felt very insecure about being inexplicably drawn into this "Survivor Game".
Especially since she had been teleported into a dangerous zone and a strange man appeared beside her.
Luckily... he seemed friendly and trustworthy.
“Yes, I think so too.”
Sakurajima Mai nodded, agreeing to the proposal to cooperate, and reminded him at the same time.
“There were a few new prompt messages when we were teleported.”
“Let’s check those prompts first and then decide how to proceed.”
Without Sakurajima Mai having to remind him, Lu Chen actually had the same idea.
-
【You have been teleported to the E-level danger zone “Doomsday City”】
【Zone Rule ①: Every 10 minutes, an indeterminate number of “Zombies” will spawn near Survivors】
【Zone Rule ②: The longer you stay, the greater the number of “Zombies” that will spawn】
【Zone Rule ③: You must stay for at least 1 hour to return to the Safe House from the Evacuation Point】
【Zone Rule ④: You can only stay for a maximum of 6 hours, after which you will never be able to return to the Safe House】

Zombies!
This word made Lu Chen frown, bringing to mind many unpleasant scenes.
As a common enemy in disaster movies and post-apocalyptic fiction, zombies could be considered quite classic.
Having the appearance of humans, they are in a state of living death, with a relentless, death-defying frenzy…
“I wonder what type of zombies they are.”
“Hopefully, they are the weakest kind.”
After reviewing the prompt information, Lu Chen glanced at Sakurajima Mai beside him, finding that she was still frowning in thought.
She seemed very troubled by the "Zombies" as well.
During this time, Lu Chen was able to take a good look at this current popular actress, a high school girl.
The ordinary school uniform looked particularly curvaceous on her.
Just looking at her side profile, Lu Chen could imagine her graceful and alluring figure.
Her long legs were encased in black stockings that matched her skin tone.
Her long, sleek black hair cascaded down her shoulders, reaching her waist, beautiful as a magnificent oil painting.
Her small face, hinting at a mature charm, exuded a lazy yet tense allure.
She was actually a little younger than Lu Chen, but she had the grace of an adult.
“Hmm…”
Unaware that she was being observed, or perhaps accustomed to such gazes, Sakurajima Mai suddenly spoke.
“There will be a batch of enemies spawning near us every 10 minutes?”
“Maybe we should find a hiding place first?”
Lu Chen's attention was drawn away from the girl, but he shook his head and expressed his own opinion.
“I think we should wait for the first batch of enemies to spawn and see how threatening they are.”
“According to the rules, the longer we stay here, the more zombies spawn.”
“In other words… the only chance we have to test the enemy's strength is during the first few spawns.”
Pausing, Lu Chen seemed to have thought of something, and he said to Sakurajima Mai with a smile.
“Of course, this is my suggestion.”
“I’ll protect you and won’t let any zombies touch a hair on your head.”
Lu Chen's words caused Sakurajima Mai’s face to flush slightly.
It was just a simple promise, but it made her heart flutter.
“What’s wrong with me…?”
Feeling the warmth on her cheeks, Sakurajima Mai’s heart was in a state of anxious confusion.
As an actress, she was supposed to be free of any romantic entanglements.
But at this moment, ripples kept forming in her heart because of the boy in front of her.
Could this be… the legendary love at first sight?
“Let’s do it your way then.”
Sakurajima Mai subtly hid her expression, and at the same time, took out the weapon that every player had—a small dagger.
“I’ll do my best to protect myself too.”
The first “10 minutes” came quickly.
Under the watchful eyes of both, about 100 meters away from them, four ragged figures suddenly appeared.
The moment they appeared, these figures were as if they had planned this beforehand.
They turned toward the location of Lu Chen and Sakurajima Mai, and wandered toward them, all at the same time.
“There are 4 enemies, which means each player will face 2 zombies the first time.”
“They spawned 100 meters away, so we can consider finding an indoor location to avoid attacks later.”
“Finally… there’s the combat strength of these zombies.”
Under Sakurajima Mai’s gaze, full of shock.
Lu Chen directly pulled out the Glock pistol he got from the beginner’s package, aiming at the zombies that were gradually approaching!
