The black-haired young man continued, “Besides exchanging for days of life, you can also exchange for many other things. For example, this Desert Eagle with unlimited bullets only costs one hundred points, which is equivalent to ten days of life rights. In addition, a person’s average attributes—including intelligence, mental strength, cellular vitality, neural reaction speed, muscle tissue strength, and immune strength, these six points—can each be increased by one for every day of life rights exchanged. An ordinary person’s six attributes are all at one hundred. In other words, as long as you survive this horror movie, you can double your current strength. If you survive a hundred horror movies, you’ll become a superhuman!”

The girl with glasses calmly asked, “Then, returning to the starting point, how many reward points do we need to go back to our own world?”

“Fifty thousand points!” The black-haired young man took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag before saying, “If you don’t use any rewards, you need to survive fifty horror movies, and then you can go back.”

At once, everyone fell silent. According to what the black-haired young man said, surviving fifty horror movies without using reward points to strengthen oneself was simply impossible.

“Of course, each horror movie gives a basic reward of one thousand points. You can also earn extra in the horror movie. For example, just now when I explained all this to you, according to the ‘Lord God’s’ rules, explaining the rules to newcomers gives me a reward of one hundred points. Also, you should have noticed that you’re all wearing a strange watch, right?” The black-haired young man raised his left hand, showing a black, pure metal watch with a simple and classic design.

Everyone looked at their own left hand. The watch displayed several pieces of data: first, a countdown of three hours and seven minutes; second, a summary of some data names, such as number of zombies, number of crawlers, number of newcomers…

“For every ten zombies you kill, you get one reward point. For every crawler you kill, you get one hundred reward points. For every newcomer you kill… you get one thousand reward points…” The black-haired young man finished speaking and gave a malicious look at Brian Carter and the others. Among them, only Brian Carter and the girl with glasses calmly looked back at him.

“Of course, it’s negative reward points…”

The black-haired young man looked at Brian Carter and the girl with glasses and sneered, “Alright, if you have any more questions, ask quickly. This horror movie is about to officially begin.”

The girl with glasses glanced at Brian Carter, and after Brian Carter gave a slight nod, she continued to ask, “There are two or three more questions. I’ve also seen the horror movie Resident Evil 1. At the end, the T-virus invades Raccoon City. So before that, if we escape the lab in this train car, wouldn’t it be easy to survive?”

The black-haired young man nodded, “Look at your watch. Is there a name in the upper left corner? Read it out.”

“Matthew Addison!”

Several people said it at the same time. Then, to their surprise, they saw that among the foreign soldiers, a black man emitted a faint glow all over his body. The glow lasted only a moment before he returned to normal.

“That’s the captain of the mercenaries in the movie. This movie is a region-specific horror film, and the plot only takes place in this laboratory. To limit the difficulty, the ‘Lord God’ makes it so you can’t go too far from the plot area in such horror movies. If you go more than a hundred meters away from Matthew Addison, we’ll… boom, and everything will be gone. Got it? After he dies in the plot, this restriction will transfer to the other plot characters, one after another. We can only desperately try to survive in this horror movie.” The black-haired young man explained.

Brian Carter suddenly asked, “What is this ‘Lord God’? You’ve been mentioning this name.”

“The ‘Lord God’ should be the thing that manages our entry into this horror movie cycle. It gives us reward points, and exchanges are done through it. The ‘Lord God’ is a ball of light. Honestly, I have no idea what it actually is.” The black-haired young man waved his hand.

The girl with glasses nodded, “Last question… What does this number mean?” She pointed at the countdown number on the watch.

“It’s the time you have to stay in this horror movie. Once the time is up, you can return alive to the ‘Lord God’ to receive your reward, and then face the next horror movie.” The black-haired young man took a deep drag of his cigarette.

At that moment, the train car began to slow down. The black-haired young man quickly finished his cigarette, then took out the Desert Eagle from his pocket and said, “Alright, the plot starts now. From this moment on, they can hear our conversation. Remember, if they hear us talking about these topics, we’ll lose ten points for each sentence. Ten points per sentence, and any negative points will be deducted from your next reward. Rookies… do your best to survive!”

The train car gradually slowed to a stop. The dozen or so foreign mercenaries gripped their guns and cautiously moved out. The black-haired young man was the first to stride out boldly. The girl with glasses glanced at Brian Carter and the others, then followed him out. Watching the black man called Matthew Addison walk away, Brian Carter and the rest all followed as well.
