Time to Face It Now Chapter 4

Logan went to see Brother Fei as instructed. Brother Fei was busy just like in the game, and he directly put Logan into the team that was about to set off.

Logan set off with the team before he figured out the situation.

Halfway through the journey, he felt that the route was not right, so he knocked on the captain and asked, "Brother, where are we going?"

"Runfa Supermarket!" the captain answered generously.

Logan: ...

In the game, Runfa Supermarket is the only high-level boss point in the city M where he is now. It houses the only level 20 high-level boss in the city. Players who have just entered the game cannot cope with it at all. Only after players leave the city M and level up many times will they form a group to come back and destroy it.

Although the world now looks very real and complete, Logan vaguely feels that many of its settings are still based on the game.

He felt very worried.

But Logan was obviously overthinking it. Before they reached Runfa Supermarket, they found that there were more and more zombies around them, and then their team's car was surrounded.

Logan, who had only activated the precision enhancement and was so weak, was killed without any suspense under the siege of the little zombies.

The moment he lost consciousness, Logan's last thought was...

In fact, he died so quickly that he had no idea at all.

---

When Logan woke up, he found himself in the hospital, with a large fruit basket on the bedside table.

His friend Dajia cried beside his bed: "Logan, you are not a good person. You went out for nothing and didn't look at the traffic lights and got hit by a car. What should I do to keep my perfect attendance this month in order to accompany you..."

Da Jia raised her head after crying, and happened to meet Logan's eyes. She said blankly: "Are you awake?"

Logan nodded.

Da Jia cried out: "Doctor, he's awake -- the guy who was hit by the car is awake --"

Soon a group of doctors and nurses gathered around, and pushed Logan to do a bunch of tests, and then praised it as a medical miracle. His brain activity was so weak when he was first sent here, but it became stronger and stronger, and now he has completely recovered to normal.

To be on the safe side, they still let Logan stay in the hospital for a few days for observation.

Logan felt that apart from minor scratches, there was nothing wrong with his body. He and Dajia finished the fruit basket and looked at each other with boredom.

Dajia said, "Brother, this is our city's Guangming Hospital, one of the best in the city. Have you heard of it?"

Logan didn't understand what Dajia was going to say.

Dajia continued, "You were almost dying at the time, and we sent you here because Guangming Hospital was close and had good conditions. The intensive care unit at Guangming Hospital costs 2,888 per night. I mean, if you're okay, we should just leave and go home to recuperate."

Logan immediately jumped off the bed and ran away with Dajia, picking up his bag despite the doctors and nurses' repeated dissuasion.

The little spare money he has every month is based on the self-sufficiency of a bachelor. Mr. Zhang, who is still working hard to save money for a down payment, can't afford such a spending.

Returning to his own small suite, Logan suddenly felt comfortable all over. He turned on his computer first as if by reflex, and his body clicked on the login interface of "Tomorrow" faster than his brain, entering the game.

By the time Logan reacted, he was already standing in the abandoned laboratory.

I logged off here yesterday.

I was originally thinking of deleting the game and never playing it again, but now that I'm here I might as well say hello to the boss.

Logan recalled the extremely realistic world of "Tomorrow" that he had experienced while unconscious, as well as the tragic scene of him being scratched to death by a monster. He immediately felt a little more indignant towards the boss who was standing obediently in front of him.

He typed: "It's all your fault. You had nothing to do in your research and ended up creating a bunch of monsters." He added an eye-rolling expression.

But when all the tones are put together, it doesn't sound like a righteous man fighting against evil, but more like a girl acting coquettishly with her lover.

Owen Yin still stood there silently with his head slightly lowered, without any response.

Logan stared at him blankly across the screen. Suddenly, he lost his temper, closed the game, turned off his laptop, and went to the bathroom to wash up and prepare for bed.

It's getting late.

Until this moment, he regarded what happened in his coma as an ordinary imaginary dream. However, if he had opened the prop mall in the game at that time, he would have found that there was a first-level crystal core for ten yuan on the "exchange", and the seller was "Zhiyin".

A lot of things happened that day. Lying on the bed, Logan fell asleep in no time.

When he woke up, he felt sore all over. When he opened his eyes, he saw Uncle Yun’s orange-peel face.

Uncle Yun wiped his eyes and said, "It's okay, nothing's wrong."

Logan then realized that none of their team had returned, so they later sent two more teams to look for it, but they only found the wreckage of the car. On the way back, they picked up the unconscious Logan in the alley across the street from Lihua Shopping Mall.

Logan thought for a moment. The alley across the street? Isn't that the resurrection point in City M? It seems that his immortal player identity is still useful now?

His brain circuits were rather strange. When he returned to this inexplicable reality version of "Tomorrow", Logan did not think much about what happened to him or what strange things he encountered, but just went with the flow. His first thought after he was completely awake was - if he had known that he would come back, he would have spent the remaining 2,888 yuan on the game, bought artifacts, opened superpowers, and reached the pinnacle of life! It was so uncomfortable to be bitten and scratched to death by zombie monsters!

At night, Logan quietly opened the mall and took back the crystal core he had consigned. The transaction was unsuccessful, and the money-grubbing mall still deducted 50 cents from him as a handling fee. Fortunately, he still had more than 19 yuan in his account, which was enough to cover the deduction.

Curled up on the floor of the mall, listening to the breathing of the displaced people around him and the crying of children, Logan tossed and turned, then opened the mall exchange and browsed for a while, looking at the top artifacts priced at thousands or tens of thousands, and slowly fell asleep with envy.

When he woke up the next day, the mall was still open. Logan checked the latest product listing time and slowly squinted his eyes. The flow of time was wrong. He had spent a night here, but less than half an hour had passed at the exchange.

Brother Fei saw through the essence of Logan, a precision-enhanced useless person, and kicked him out of the hunting team. Uncle Yun arranged for him to prepare food.

While distributing food with Alan, Logan still looked distracted. He was thinking about how to return to reality - should he grit his teeth and try to commit suicide by rushing into the pile of zombies?

The result of being absent-minded is that you accidentally spill the porridge in your hand onto the person who is getting food in front of you.

The man immediately became anxious and grabbed Logan by the collar and said, "Do you know how precious clothes and food are now?"

Logan was startled, raised his head, and was immediately more shocked. The person in front of him looked fair-skinned, with regular features, and could not be more ordinary. But Logan would not mistake this face. This person was not an ordinary passerby NPC.

As the plot unfolds, a group of people who pursue power, authority, status, etc. betray humanity and join Dr. Ethan, becoming his minions. Most of the time in the game, players and other righteous forces are fighting against these minions.

The man in front of me is one of the minions, named Dylan Yu, who has fire powers and later founded the villain Dylan Yu. He is considered a relatively powerful boss in the game. I didn't expect to meet him here.

Thinking of Dylan Yu's sensitive, narrow-minded, petty, and vengeful personality, Logan felt that he could experiment with the proposition of "dying and returning to the real world" in advance.
