Chereads / My Zombie Game / Chapter 21 - How the Matrix works.

Chapter 21 - How the Matrix works.

The whole room had fallen into a deep silence, one could only hear the sound of breathing of the five fellows sitting in each of their respective seats.

The holographic picture displayed in front of them still left them in a daze.

"Yeah...yeah...yeah."

"I know we all hate him and even I hate him but that doesn't still give us a good reason to start going after him," Kai said, with complex emotion.

< You are too foolish >

The cold voice sounded.

Hearing a sniffing sound from his side, Kai looked at Mia.

"Common, I was funny" Mia whispered.

< silent!!>

Another surge of shivering was sent down each of the five fellows' spines.

< What you don't know is that this person has the potential to grow way stronger than you think >

< Right now, he has nothing in mind to do, but if he gets one, none of you will be able to stop him, and you should also remember that you are not in a good team with him in the first place >

Hearing what the skull just said, it was like an object had been thrown at Kai's head, resetting every thought he had about Nate.

Yes, to be more specific, the person that has been protected by the skull to the four fellows is Nate.

It was still unknown to the four how the skull was able to have a picture of Nate in the first place.

Regardless, they did not think much about that.

Meanwhile, Mia has a question in his mind, but the problem is that he is to ask the skull this particular question.

But things were not as normal as he thought because the skull could read their thoughts.

< You have a question >

The skull face was directed towards Mia.

The latter was startled for a moment, but he still took the chance and asked his question.

" How do we do this... I mean how do we start hunting him?" while asking this question, Mia's hand could not stop vibrating.

< You will start by choosing a clone name >

"Clone name is something that we already have, for example, I'm Red, and this is my boss mi....."

< That is not what I mean!!! >

Another period of silence went by.

After this period of silence, the skull starts to explain certain things that might be confusing for the five.

< Clone name in other words is like a gang name >

< So choose a clone name before we proceed with the other procedures >

At this moment, the invisible force that had been pushing them back into the seats seems to disappear.

< You have a minute to make up your choice >

"So he won't be interrupting us right... If that is so maybe we should use this time to plot a plane that might get us out of this mess " Kai suggested.

" I don't think so, from the way things are playing out, that skull seems to be a supreme being that is in a realm way far greater than ours, what I think we should do is comply "

<15 seconds remaining >

" I think you guys should be fast with the decision" Red remembered the two about the matter at hand.

He was too weary of the skull and was afraid of what he might do next to them if they did not decide in time.

"What else, I think the matrix is a nice name" Kai suggested while looking at the others.

"I will go with whatever the boss says," Purple said, while the others backed him up by shaking their heads in agreement.

Looking at Mia who had a teasing smile on his face. Kai hates the fact that Mia has been treated like the boss when they are all in his body.

" You better have another option then," Kai said crossing his hand around his chest.

< 5 sec...>

< 4 sec...>

< 3 sec...>

As the time comes close, Kai becomes more anxious, even the triplets have a worried expression, but in the end, it looks like they chose to be loyal to Mia rather than save their lives.

< 2 sec...>

" Fine, "

Saying that Kai sighed in relief, even the triplets could not help also and sighed in relief.

"Must you play with everything?"

< Greetings Matrix >

The skull head appeared again on the television.

< You have successfully picked a clone name, now let's move on to the next segment of our gathering >

The room fell into total silence because they all could tell that the vibe coming out from the Skull was a lot more different than before.

< Our Next segment will be on how the "Matrix" works >

An alien list appeared on the holographic screen.

'What is this?' This was a question that is currently running through the five matrix heads.

This was the first time such a thing had appeared since they found themselves in the room.

< Five clones: Just like you already know, they are currently five matrix clones outside the apocalypse world, this is where the five matrix

consciousness layers.>

Time is 24hrs>

After the skull read out the description of the list, it was made clear to the five what had been presented before them.

"Haaaaaaaaa" Kai could not hold back the excitement in him as he laughed out loud.

"Why are you laughing? What is funny?" Mia asked with his brow frowning.

"You know what is funny, this is funny, do you know what this means, we are unstoppable with this" Kai said referring to the "Reincarnation Period".

" So if we were killed at once there would be no one to clone us then that means, game over"

Kai's face paled that instant.

"You guys should have at least celebrated for a moment," Kai complained.

Hearing this, everyone's attention was directed to Kai.

"Why are you all looking at me?" Kai asked with a confused look.

"You are the only one that has had an encounter with the outside world," Rad said.

Kai becomes anxious.
