Absolute Death Game-Chapter 484 - 52 The Story of Bai Yunfei
The group of zombies traced a large arc around the sandy area, Xiao Buli guessed they must have known the range of the quicksand and avoided it. In front of Xiao Buli, a relatively large sand dune soon appeared, but compared to the surrounding yellow sand, this dune seemed still, as if rooted in place. The reason being that while not all desert dunes are constantly shifting, the yellow sand elsewhere would sometimes be stirred up by the north wind, yet the sand grains on this dune appeared to cling to it, immobile.
Xiao Buli couldn't help but reach out to touch it, feeling like he was touching rock.

"This is fixed, a system-designed landscape, so it's different from the other sand," Bai Yunfei explained.
They worked their way around the front of the dune to the shaded side, where a dark hole greeted them, with a cool breeze blowing out from it. Normally, Xiao Buli would feel a chill from such a breeze, but at this moment, the refreshing air was a supreme blessing. Xiao Buli quickly ran to the front of the cave to fully enjoy it.
As soon as he stepped into the cave entrance, the system's alert sounded in his ears.
System Alert: Entered the desert Undead Cave.
Bai Yunfei was carried in by the four zombies, urging Xiao Buli to hurry. Xiao Buli walked in quickly as well. The coolness inside was just as good as outside, but it was not damp at all.
The zombies set down Bai Yunfei's sedan chair, and Xiao Buli sat down next to him, surveying the cave. The interior seemed more spacious than it looked from the outside, with piles of white bones amassed at the depth of the cave. It was unclear whether these were remnants of their food or simply part of the system's configured backdrop.
"Tell me, how did you get in here?" Bai Yunfei started the conversation. Xiao Buli had nothing to hide. He briefed him about how he entered the base and accessed the game through the helmet, then he recounted the events after they separated. To spare Bai Yunfei any distress, Xiao Buli kept his account succinct and soon covered most of what had happened.
"Now, your turn. I saw Zhang Yaoyang and Li Baocheng, they've become NPCs. How did you do that?" Xiao Buli finished his part and immediately asked impatiently. "And have you found any clues about the Divine Tomb during your search? Is it possible to leave this desert?" He had too many questions he wanted answers to.
"Heh, let me start from the beginning." Xiao Buli felt that today's Bai Yunfei seemed more cheerful than he was at the company, and perhaps because he had become a mummy, he lacked that ghostly aura. Bai Yunfei began his story, summarizing some of the key events after they entered the game, gradually clarifying the situation in Xiao Buli's mind.
Bai Yunfei and the members of the Green Dragon Group and White Tiger Group followed Zhang Yaoyang into the game. Initially, they were unaware of Zhang Yaoyang's purpose to revive his sister. Everyone thought it was a fantastic travel experience, and they could all live in the place they had long desired. But with no ability to log off, nights in the wild were indeed hard to endure.
"At night, I practically became a guardian deity, you know? I have my ways with the Undead," Bai Yunfei said to Xiao Buli with a laugh.
"Speaking of which, the fact that you became more cheerful after turning into this is really surprising to me," Xiao Buli couldn't help but interrupt his story.
"Oh, haha, after becoming a monster I was somewhat transformed, so my personality changed a bit, but it's still much better than becoming a walking corpse, right? Anyway, it took us about four or five days before we finally found a small village. However, it was there that people started to disagree about the path ahead," Bai Yunfei casually explained, then continued with their story.
Once settled in the village, they began to ponder the path forward. Zhang Yaoyang believed that since they were in the game, they naturally should create something significant, like establishing a guild or even founding a country. Before that, it was only natural for everyone to constantly enhance their strength. But since they were all from Earth, it made sense to stick together for safety.
However, Li Baocheng disagreed. He thought since so many solo players were surviving in the game, there was no need for him to break away from the Qilin Group only to fall in with the Green Dragon Group. He wasn't sure the company wouldn't investigate this outbreak and wondered whether it would be easier to track dozens of people or just one who strayed from the flock. His view quickly gained the approval of a few White Tiger Group members. Firstly, they were not really familiar with Zhang Yaoyang and his team, and secondly, they had just entered the game and were excited, naturally wanting to do something different.
After some debate and quarreling, Zhang Yaoyang let everyone make their own choice. Eventually, those few left the team. As for what became of them later, Bai Yunfei wasn't so sure: "But from what I've seen afterward, I guess they probably didn't have an easy time," he speculated.
"Yeah, when we were raiding a bandit camp, I saw Li Baocheng. He had become a complete NPC and was later killed by a group of players." Xiao Buli hadn't mentioned this part of his experience earlier.
