[🎉 Shoutout to Andreas for joining . Thank you very much.🤗]
Although the officials couldn't release any strategies and even updated the free combat system, the monsters also got stronger.
Peng Peng wasn't originally an operations-type player, and most of the guild players were casuals.
Although they had full equipment and abundant supplies, they still couldn't withstand the monsters' attacks at night.
Recently, Peng Peng had finally experienced the difficulty of being a guild leader.
During these days, Peng Peng followed examples and arranged for players to search for villages and kill Endermen. But there wasn't much success.
Moreover, since the officials said HIM was removed, Peng Peng's authority as a guild leader became weaker and weaker.
After all, players initially joined because of Peng Peng's connection with HIM. Now that the officials said HIM was removed, and HIM hasn't shown up again, plus Peng Peng wasn't good at managing a guild, it made the guild's situation extremely unstable, always on the verge of collapse.
Peng Peng was also trying hard to maintain order in the guild. For this, he held a big meeting every five days and a small meeting every three days, basically gathering players to discuss the guild's development issues regularly.
Today was no exception.
Peng Peng gathered the guild members in the square again.
"You all know that recently the monsters have become more cunning. The usual strategies aren't effective against them anymore. The purpose of today's meeting is to brainstorm together. Let's discuss solutions for each monster!"
Peng Peng spoke in the center of the square, but the players below were all lazy and unmotivated, each showing an unwilling expression on their faces.
"Sigh… I shouldn't have rushed into this…"
"Exactly, although the guild has decent supplies, the guild leader…"
"Well, you can't really blame him. He was just an ordinary player before. Managing a guild isn't that easy…"
"If it wasn't for HIM, I wouldn't have joined… Now that HIM is removed, I don't even know what the point of staying here is…"
"Yeah… Staying in this guild, our future development will definitely fall behind other guilds…"
"Why are we so unlucky?! The guild leader had HIM as a big backer, and suddenly, he got removed by the officials!!"
The players' discussions all revolved around HIM being removed.
After all, this guild was established because of HIM.
Just as the players were deep in discussion, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in the center of the square.
When the players saw this person clearly, they were all dumbfounded.
"Holy crap?!!! HIM?!!!!!!!!!"
"He… Wasn't he removed?!!!"
HIM suddenly appeared in the center of the square, catching the players off guard.
They didn't know whether to be excited or afraid.
Although the players knew Peng Peng had some connection with HIM, their interaction was limited to that livestream where HIM didn't kill Peng Peng.
But even then, Peng Peng hadn't actually spoken to HIM.
So the players couldn't be sure that HIM wouldn't harm Peng Peng.
But seeing Peng Peng set the guild base in the Eternal Guild's location, it was basically Peng Peng telling everyone that HIM wouldn't harm him.
After all, HIM knew this base's location.
If he wanted to wipe everyone out, it would've been done in an instant.
Because of this, the players felt a little reassured.
But now, HIM had suddenly arrived, and not just anywhere—he came directly into the guild's base. The players' hearts were once again in their throats.
"HIM wasn't removed… So the officials were lying?!"
"Or maybe he was removed but resurrected?…"
"So HIM is here… for what?…"
"To prove he wasn't removed?…"
"Does he need to prove anything to us?"
"Then what is he here for? To chat with us?…"
"Looking at his eyes… They don't seem like the eyes of someone here for a chat…"
Although the players weren't sure what was happening, they didn't choose to run away.
Deep down, they still believed HIM wouldn't harm them.
After all, if HIM wanted to act, he would've done so long ago—why wait until now?
Besides, many players in the guild admired HIM deeply. The guild's name was even "Demon Lord Reserve Team."
When Peng Peng founded the guild, he specifically mentioned recruiting players who liked HIM and the Death Knight.
Although some players joined for the supplies, most were actually HIM fans.
Now that they finally saw HIM in person, they naturally couldn't move their feet.
HIM's sudden arrival startled Peng Peng,
but it also brought him a surprise.
The guild was on the verge of collapse mainly because the officials announced HIM's removal. Players believed HIM was truly gone.
This guild was originally built because of HIM; if HIM was gone, the guild lost its backbone. Naturally, the players' hearts scattered.
But now, HIM's sudden appearance was like a slap in the face to the officials.
With this, the players could reunite again.
Peng Peng was overjoyed and was just about to say something to HIM.
Everything went dark. Peng Peng didn't know what happened.
After an unknown amount of time, Peng Peng woke up.
Looking around, although it was still the guild base, it was now in ruins, as if it had been blown apart.
At this moment, HIM was nowhere to be seen.
Peng Peng was shocked.
The explosion sound just now—if Peng Peng wasn't mistaken—should've been an explosion skill.
And HIM had explosion skills.
This meant HIM had just attacked the players using an explosion skill.
Peng Peng was the closest person to HIM.
At such close range, Peng Peng should've been dead.
Although Peng Peng had set his respawn point in the guild's basement, if he had died, he would've respawned there.
But now, Peng Peng was still standing where he was before the explosion.
While Peng Peng was puzzled, a scream interrupted him.
Looking towards the sound, Peng Peng saw a group of players not far away staring at him in horror. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt
"What's happening?! Guild leader… You… You've turned green…"
"That's not the guild leader!! That's a zombie!!"
"Guild leader is… infected?!!"
"Look… The others killed by HIM have turned green too!!"
These players were at the far edge of the square, and although they were affected by the explosion, they hadn't died, only losing half their health.
They had basically witnessed everything.
From their position, they couldn't see exactly what happened in the center,
but they knew HIM had arrived.
While they were discussing HIM excitedly, they suddenly heard an explosion.
Then they saw everyone within roughly a 100-block radius fall to the ground simultaneously.
Before they could react, they saw the fallen players' skin gradually turn green.
When they had fully turned green, they all stood back up, letting out zombie-like growls.
The players got goosebumps all over.
It was as if a Resident Evil plot was happening right before their eyes.
They didn't dare stay any longer. After confirming the infected players had turned into zombies, they bolted.
Peng Peng looked down at his arms and saw his skin had turned green. He was dumbfounded.
Then he looked at the other fallen players.
Their skin had all turned green too.
