Create horror games that scare players around the world

Chapter 50 Why do zombies bite people?
Seeing this, a question mark popped up in everyone's head.

Zombies?

what is this.?

The employees were confused and opened their eyes wide with curiosity, sitting upright.

This was their first meeting since joining the company. Although they didn’t know what zombies were, they just had to listen carefully.

What's more, the boss is sitting in the back.
At this time, Mr. Ding, who was behind the crowd, spoke.

"We are all from the gaming industry. When we joined our company, we probably all heard about The Before."

The employees nodded to show that they understood.

Seeing this, Ding Yi didn't say anything more and explained the situation directly.

"From today on, Before the Cataclysm no longer exists."

"Instead, a new game with a new name will be launched."

"This meeting is about the development of the new game. People from Danmu.com will be there later. So listen carefully and feel free to ask if you don't understand."

Are people from Danmu.net also going to attend the meeting?
The employees were stunned for a moment, then immediately replied, "Okay, Boss!"

The voice was loud and energetic, and Ding Yi nodded with satisfaction.

Then he turned on screen sharing and invited Director Shi from Danmu.com.

Manager Shi pulled two more people in and spoke.

[Mr. Ding, these two are Manager Chen and Supervisor Wang from our Danmu Game Station.]
[They came to sit in on the meeting after learning that you were going to hold a new game meeting. In addition, if your new game requires our help in some aspects, you can also directly tell our manager Chen.]
[Manager Chen: Hello, Mr. Ding. I apologize for disturbing you.]
[Manager Wang: Hello, Mr. Ding.]
Ding Yi looked at the three people without profile pictures, with a smile on his face.

People from Danmu.com came to attend the meeting. In fact, this was because Manager Shi called them the night before to ask if there were any new projects. After learning that a meeting was going to take place, they specifically requested the opportunity to sit in on the meeting.

There are two reasons.

1. You can obtain investment funds for new projects.

After all, there was a game called "Rotten Meat" before. As long as the new project is good enough, Danmu.com will definitely choose to invest in the next one in order to make money.

2. Strengthen cooperation between the two parties to solve the issuance problem.

As the distributor of "Rotten Meat" appointed by Mr. Ding, if the new work is outstanding, Danmu.com will naturally hope to be responsible for the distribution of the new work and solve difficulties other than development.

The above is what Manager Shi said in person.

After considering various tedious issues such as game servers and overseas localization, Boss Ding decided to let them come to sit in and solve these problems at the same time.

Apart from anything else, he would not refuse investment money.

After all, whether there is money or not will not affect the game development. If there is money, then there is no reason to refuse.

So, we have the current three people from Danmu.net coming to the meeting.

In response to their greetings, Ding Yi simply responded.

"Hello, can you see the screen?"

[I can see it clearly.]
[The image quality is fine, Mr. Ding, please continue.]
The new employees looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this.

Wow, I thought the people who came to the meeting would be salesmen, but I didn’t expect that they were executives at the supervisor and manager level! ?
Then it seems that the rumor online that the financial backer behind Star Games is Danmu.com is true?

Because there are big bosses behind them, they have the money to remake "The Day After Tomorrow"?
Turtle, as a game company backed by Danmu.com, the most basic security must be no problem, our choice is right!
Boss Ding, not knowing what his employees were thinking, started this new game meeting.

"You all probably know the monsters in the game Before Disaster. They are mutant beasts like cats and dogs."

"In fact, in many survival games, mutant beasts are one of the main enemies."

"But now, I hope to be innovative instead of following the mainstream. Mutated beasts are fine, but they cannot be the main enemy."

"You all have seen the title on the screen. I designed a brand new monster to replace the original one."

"As for the name, as you can see, it's called 'Zombie'."

As he spoke, Ding Yi rolled the mouse and switched to the next page.

That is an original painting.

But this original painting made the new employees look stunned. It also made Director Shi and others in front of the screen stare with their eyes wide open.

This is a high-precision original painting that is difficult to look at directly.

Why is it so hard to watch? Because it's too bloody!

The picture shows the upper bodies of two people with a destroyed city in the background.

The man on the left had hair as dry as grass and had lost half of his face, revealing the dark red flesh and deep eye sockets beneath the skin.

The other half of the face was covered in blood and was severely decayed, with bulging eyeballs, and it looked completely unrecognizable as a human.

At this moment, he was hugging the sexy woman with a terrified expression on his right side, biting her fair neck with his black teeth and stinky mouth, tearing off tendons and flesh. The scene was bloody and especially delicious.

The original painting was realistic, so lifelike that the employees didn't dare to take a second look at it.

Especially the female employees, they either turned their heads away or lowered their heads, they just didn't dare to look directly at him.

Zhang Yushuang from the Finance Department just looked up, gave a look of disdain, and continued to work with her head down.

No one spoke in the office hall for a long time, as if everyone was stunned.

This also brought a faint smile to Boss Ding's face.

This original painting was drawn by a teacher he hired at a high price.

For this reason, he paid extra money to jump the queue and paint first. He revised it three times before finally arriving at this final draft that he was satisfied with.

Now it’s released for everyone to see, the effect is outstanding.

At this time, the voice of Manager Shi was heard from the screen.

[This picture is very exciting and shocking.]
[Mr. Ding, can you explain what zombies are? I just searched online, but couldn't find anything. Is this a name you made up?]
Ding Yi heard this and shook his head in response.

“No, I designed the image, but the name zombie was thought up by a friend of mine named Romero.”

"As for why they are called zombies, it's very simple. The full name is: walking corpses that have lost their humanity."

"Of course, you can also understand it as a resurrected corpse."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone understood.

But I am still a little confused about the painting in front of me.

For example, why do you bite people?
At this moment, Manager Wang couldn't help but interrupt.

[I roughly understand Mr. Ding. In that case, why does this zombie want to bite people?]
Ding Yi:?

[I see in those fairy tale TV dramas that after being resurrected, shouldn’t people cry with joy and continue to shine and give off heat? After all, life is precious, and it’s not easy to have another chance.]
[Even in some Western fantasy movies, people turn into skeletons after death, and after being resurrected, they just follow their master's orders and fight on the battlefield with knives. I have never seen them bite people.]
Boss Ding almost couldn't hold back when he heard this.

However, considering that Blue Star has no idea about the existence of zombies, it is understandable that Manager Wang would think so.

After all, in the previous life on Earth, before zombies appeared, no one thought that corpses would turn into horrible walking corpses after being resurrected.

Especially in some early black-and-white horror films, when a person is resurrected after death, he or she becomes a ghost directly, and is able to speak, has flesh and blood, is no different from a living person, and is also a ghost with a hint of black humor.

It didn't turn into the zombies we have today.

It was not until the 60s, when Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" was released, that people learned that corpses could be resurrected and transformed into zombies that bite living people.

The birth of zombies is also influenced by the background of the times.

American creators at the time were in the Cold War era, so they conceived zombies through the concept of wizards controlling corpses to reflect and satirize the numbness and chaos of the people at that time.

Blue Planet has not had the same experience as Earth, so its awareness of zombies is zero, so it is normal that it does not understand.

Because of this, he is increasingly looking forward to spreading zombie culture on Blue Planet.

See how much sensory stimulation this kind of thing that subverts cognition will bring to them.

So, in response to Manager Wang's question, Ding Yi just smiled and spoke.

　Damn, I got off work too late, so I'll post one chapter first. I won't be at work tomorrow, so I'll continue writing later
