Tang Guo was still holding a chicken drumstick in her hand. A bite had already been taken out of it, leaving a neat row of teeth marks.
She was sizing up the Zombie King, and the Zombie King was also sizing her up. Their eyes met, and they simply stared at each other without speaking.
In the end, she saw the Zombie King smile at her. He even sat down beside her and said with interest, “Are game characters made this realistically now?”
Tang Guo: ?
Before Tang Guo could react, the Zombie King reached toward her face and pinched her cheek. He clicked his tongue in praise. “Such rich expressions. I almost thought I was seeing a real person.”
Tang Guo thought, what exactly was going on? Could it be that this old zombie’s character setting was meant to be comedic?
Was this Zombie Bride actually a horror comedy story game?
She remained calm and decided to observe the situation first. This old zombie was indeed somewhat interesting.
She took another bite of the drumstick and continued watching his reaction. He looked surprised for a moment, then somewhat impressed, and also a bit nostalgic. “Looks like Feng Corporation has produced someone impressive.”
At that moment, Tang Guo realized things were not simple.
Game characters could have rich emotions and experiences, and even be intelligent, but they would never use such an expression and tone to directly mention Feng Corporation to their bride.
Thinking about her own situation, she began to suspect something. Could it be that inside this old zombie was a real person’s brain waves, and that person was connected to Feng Corporation?
“Bride, is the drumstick tasty?” The Zombie King seemed too lonely. He actually sat there and started teasing this game character with expressive emotions. “Do you want more?”
Tang Guo: …
System: Heh… heh heh… hahahahahahaha. This is killing me.
He was certain the host was about to pull some wild move.
Sure enough, when Tang Guo gave her next reply, even the system’s program felt a bit scrambled.
Tang Guo took a bite of the drumstick, chewed slowly, and said pitifully, “Do you have a lot of drumsticks? My family is poor. I have never eaten drumsticks before.”
System: He knew it would be like this.
“Yes, I have a lot of drumsticks.”
The Zombie King became interested. He found this bride very amusing. Ever since he woke up inside the game, he had been trying to find a way out, but there seemed to be no method. He had been trapped in this offline story game with no network connection at all, completely unable to communicate with the outside world.
He had not expected to encounter such an interesting character setting.
Under the moonlight streaming in from the window, the Zombie King’s pale face was actually very handsome. He was also wearing a bright red wedding robe. The corners of his lips lifted, as if he had discovered an entertaining toy. “Do you want to eat them?”
“Yes.” Tang Guo nodded obediently. “I want to eat drumsticks every day.”
System: Damn it all.
The Zombie King’s smile softened. If every time he appeared, he could talk to such an interesting game character, it would actually be quite fun. In this offline horror game, he would not feel so lonely.
He was just afraid that such an interesting character setting would not appear every time. After all, this might just be a hidden attribute of the game character that had been triggered by accident.
If it happened every time, he might grow tired of it one day.
But for now, he was still very interested.
The Zombie King pointed at the drumsticks on the table. His voice carried a hint of temptation. “Become this king’s bride, and you will have drumsticks to eat every day.”
Based on the game character settings, he guessed that even if the bride did not seem afraid of him, once he asked her to become his bride, she would definitely resist. He really wanted to see what kind of expression she would use to resist.
