UNIT B Survives Final Blood Moon in 7 Days to Die, Dying Repeatedly Along the Way

Wooden spike traps and rooftop bombs did not keep zombies out of the house, but the trio came through the night and spent the rest of the stream looting the wreckage.

UNIT B, the pre-debut Hololive trio of Neon, Mira and Raira, survived the final Blood Moon horde in the survival game 7 Days to Die on Sunday, closing out a three-day series of streams that ran more than four and a half hours. The members died repeatedly as zombies climbed onto their roof and broke into the house, then spent the dawn collecting what was left.

The Blood Moon is the game’s horde night, which comes every seventh in-game day, and the trio’s day began with preparations for it. They biked to a scorched biome to finish a set of challenges and craft gear for breathing in its smoke, a job that stalled when one member’s materials went missing and the recipe would not unlock; the gear finally worked well over an hour into the session. A bicycle one member had ridden off on set off a debate about whether she had been chasing clips, with the others insisting she had simply wanted to ride. Later, Raira’s bike belched black smoke as the group headed into the biome, and Neon’s repair job in exchange for coal became a running gag when the coal turned out to be a single piece.

“We managed to survive. We died a ton, but we survived.” — Neon, Mira and Raira, after the horde

With the horde night close, the members sold salvage to a trader for ammunition and explosives and built dozens of wooden spike traps, leaving one gap and a ladder to the roof. Raira laid out the plan: Neon would shoot and throw bombs from above while Mira and Raira fought in melee below. One member joked that the scattershot placement of the spikes was a strategy to kill “type A” zombies, which turned into a conversation about blood types.

When the horde arrived, the spikes killed many zombies before they reached the house. A dog and other zombies still got onto the roof and through the front door. The bombs did nothing at first until the members worked out that the fuse had to be lit and given about four seconds before the throw. Backpacks were lost in the scramble, and at one point a member joked about letting a zombie lead her to the ladder. By morning the fighting had settled and the house was badly damaged. The members said the shotgun reloaded too slowly for the crowd and that wood would not hold, and that they wanted rapid-fire guns and a stronger base.

They spent the end of the stream looting, and the group said they had enjoyed the fight far more than the previous session. Next time, they said, they plan to sort their storage, and they also talked of building a vehicle. Viewers sent 13 Super Chats, and chat ended the stream with goodbyes and applause.
