There are other living people

Everyone was walking and chatting, but after hearing this, Shangguan Huai and Shangguan Yu, who were walking in front, stopped unconsciously.

Shangguan Yu immediately caught the strangeness in the words, but he did not bring it up right away to interfere with Rong Xiao's memories.

It stands to reason that after the apocalypse, most deaths are related to zombies, but if you are bitten, you will also become a zombie.

Being able to turn into corpses lying there quietly... means that the deaths of this group of people may have nothing to do with zombies.

Although Rong Xiao now has different cognition from ordinary people, she has no problem with some basic and simple judgments. She said that there were many corpses around her when she woke up, which should not be an exaggeration.

Under what circumstances would she be buried under a pile of corpses and have no memory of her past?

Everyone had imagined many possibilities, and even Shangguan Yu's clever mind couldn't help but start thinking divergently, but after thinking about it, he still couldn't determine what kind of environment Rong Xiao was in at the time.

"After you woke up, did you find anything besides the body?" Long Qingyu suddenly thought of something and eagerly asked, "Did you choose your name after waking up, or did you find something?"

Rong Xiao asked Ling Xi to take out the iron box he had left with her, blocking their view of the box's contents. He then pulled out a piece of paper and showed it to Long Qingyu without reservation: "Is this it?"

It was something that looked very much like a work ID card.

It had been completely soaked in blood and turned black. Apart from the two words "Rong Xiao" which could still be seen clearly, only half of the shape of the logo had survived. However, there was too little information and nothing could be seen.

In the end, the matter was handed over to Shangguan Yu.

Accustomed to doing this kind of finishing work, Shangguan Yu took it over skillfully and observed it carefully in his hand.

He never disappoints anyone. His eyes always seem to catch the small details that others miss. When it comes to thinking and observation, everyone in the team has 200% confidence in him.

"There's not much information to be found," Shangguan Yu said, and the first thing he said was bad news. "I can see that the work ID was originally in an outer pocket, and the lettering has been worn out and is a bit blurry. By the way, where did you find this thing?"

Rong Xiao thought carefully for a moment and replied, "In my hand!"

"In your hand? Did you check the clothes you were wearing at the time?"

"I was just wrapped in a white sheet, with no clothes."

“…”

"It was Mr. Mosaic who told girls not to hang around outside like that, so I took some clean clothes from those clean zombies."

My God, how dare this person to strip clothes off zombies? That’s too cruel!

Ling Xi, Shangguan Huai and Tian Yichuang were so shocked that they couldn't respond.

The images strung together in Rong Xiao's memory were completely beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like them. They sounded like extraordinary things. The more unsolved secrets there were, the more curiosity aroused everyone.

"Xiao Yu, have you thought of anything? I'm so curious!" Shangguan Huai saw that his brother didn't say anything, so he waved his hands to urge him.

Shangguan Yu held his forehead with his hand as he felt a headache: "Don't call me Xiaoyu."

"Then Yuyu, have you thought of anything?"

“…”

"Speak now."

"I don't have the superpower of memory recall. Her fragmented memories and a work ID that's 90% covered in blood don't reveal much." Shangguan Yu's words made the group of people waiting for analysis droop their shoulders. Even Long Qingyu looked disappointed. "But..."

The conversation took a turn for the better, and the dejected crowd immediately straightened their backs.

"But I can briefly state my guess," Shangguan Yu held up his work ID. "It's a smooth, wrinkle-free paper ID. It's unlikely that Rong Xiao snatched it from her before she lost her memory. It's very likely that someone deliberately stuffed it into her hand after she fainted. Perhaps they wanted to tell her something but didn't want to be discovered."

"Why can't she just take it herself and then..." Shangguan Huai, unwilling to listen to the analysis, tried to join in the conversation.

"In such a critical situation, even with several bodies pressing down on her, how could she have cared about keeping her work ID from getting crumpled?"

Shangguan Huai automatically exited the chat.

As he spoke, Shangguan Yu pointed his work ID card towards the sun, but he didn't find anything fishy hidden in it.

"This is just an ordinary work ID card, but it must have been placed with something when it was in the casing. There's a dent here."

As the slender fingertips tapped lightly, everyone found a square dent on the blood-stained area on their backs. The mark was not very clear and would not be noticed without careful observation.

"This shape... looks a bit like a chip, but it could just be a coincidence that it was pressed into a similar shape."

"Chip?" Ling Xi couldn't help but want to join the discussion. "Then Rong Xiao is probably not an ordinary person. Is it because he lost his memory that he looks different from us?"

"Don't worry about her anymore. Didn't you see how agile she was when dodging bullets, catching arrows, and kicking people? It's like an instinctive reaction etched in her bones." Shangguan Yu returned the work ID to Rong Xiao and put it away, not forgetting to put on his signature sneer. "If you ask me, she will live longer than any of you in the apocalypse."

"..." Tian Yichuang, Shangguan Huai and Ling Xi were very angry but unable to refute and could only rage helplessly.

"Yes, I've seen her attack before. That reaction was like an instinct to isolate herself from all behaviors that would hurt herself, driving her to resist any attack that would cause her harm." Long Qingyu was different from others. From the beginning, he thought Rong Xiao was no ordinary person, but he was not sure what was so special about her.

As their contact increased, Rong Xiao's abilities gradually emerged, and he soon discovered that this girl, who looked delicate and in need of protection, was not actually fragile, but more like a weapon that had not yet been sharpened.

Thinking of this, Long Qingyu felt a chill on his back.

If this simple and unidentified weapon were to be picked up by bad people or other malicious organizations, it would probably cause unimaginable consequences.

"Some of the attack methods were taught to me by Mr. Mosaic!" Rong Xiao felt that everyone was praising him, and he was eager to share the source of his achievements. "He said there would be many bad guys in the apocalypse, and when to attack and when to flee. I memorized them all."

"Who exactly is this Mosaic teacher you're talking about?" Shangguan Yu admired this so-called Mosaic teacher for having the patience to teach this troublesome guy who was like a blank slate. He couldn't help but feel a little curious, "Why isn't he with you?"

"He was in my dream!"

"Speak nicely."

"Really? I run into him when I go to bed at night. However, I didn't run into him last night..." Rong Xiao muttered softly, "I wanted to tell him that I played the Pac-Man game he mentioned yesterday, but he didn't show up."

After learning the truth, they didn't know how to react.

The things in the dream are too fantastic, even more fantastic than the end of the world and their superpowers.

So, this so-called Mosaic Teacher is not a real living person in reality, but just a false existence in Rong Xiao’s dream?

Dreams are just dreams.

Except for Lingxi, the others were still not used to Rongxiao's train of thought. She looked at the box Rongxiao was holding and said, "You have your own backpack now. Do you want to keep the iron box yourself?"

The tone is like that of a patient teacher in a senior kindergarten class.

Rong Xiao put the baby's work permit back, closed the box, shook it lightly with her fingers, hesitated for a while, and handed the iron box to Ling Xi: "Sister Xi, please help me keep it in the space. This box will make a sound, and the zombies will come." After a pause, she added in a low voice, "But you can't open the box!"

Ling Xi was somewhat touched by Rong Xiao's trust. She nodded solemnly and put the iron box back into the space.

It started to get dark.

After walking all day, Long Qingyu planned to find a safe and reliable place to spend the night before dark.

In a small shop that had been cleaned out, everything was peaceful overnight.

After daybreak, Shangguan Yu, who had been standing by the window for nearly half an hour, suddenly said, "Look, that hexahedron is moving."

The hexahedron, with a light so strong that it is completely different from the sunlight, is slowly rotating, and the sunlight shining on its smooth surface reflects different rays of light.

The scene was dazzling and gorgeous, yet vaguely eerie, like a terrifying poisonous snake in a precious treasure box. Until the box was opened, no one knew the danger and death within.

As the hexahedron slowly rotated, faint circles of light began to spread in all directions.

That was the barrier they had seen before, which would lock people wearing the bracelet inside the map and force them to obtain resources through tasks.

"Maybe a new mission has started. Do you want to do it?" Tian Yichuang looked at Ling Xi, and Ling Xi looked at Long Qingyu. Long Qingyu was given the important task of making the decision, and it was difficult for him to make up his mind for a while.

The mission can indeed provide them with the necessary supplies, but the previous mission was neither difficult nor easy. Ling Xi was almost attacked by zombies in the kitchen.

The dangers and accidents encountered during that mission were almost as great as all the crises they had encountered since the end of the world.

Now they have enough supplies, including several boxes of bullets and several guns. If you think about it carefully, they are no different from monks. It can be said that they have no desires or demands.

Is it necessary to take the risk to do a mission?

As the hexahedron expanded the barrier, everyone quickly packed up their things and went to the open streets outside, trying to chase towards the edge of the barrier as much as possible.

The transparent barrier was still slowly expanding. Judging from its spread, they should be not far from the edge of the barrier. There was still a chance to leave, but they had to make a decision immediately.

"Brother Long, I have an idea I'd like to try," Shangguan Yu said anxiously, "but it might require another mission."

"What's your idea?" Long Qingyu observed the spreading speed of the barrier, ready to give the final instructions at any time.

"I want to try what happens if we don't enter the task."

This bubble game can provide people with the necessary supplies and will also increase the difficulty of the task according to the demand for the supplies.

If you fail to complete the task, you will not be able to escape the confines of the bubble.

But if they don’t have the “needs”, will there still be missions?

Shangguan Yu grasped a key point, a key point that he wanted to try to find the answer to.

The existence of bubbles is like a double-edged sword, which can provide help but also bring crises. However, if you understand all the unknown unspoken rules, you can use them more skillfully to create convenience.

"Okay, I'll be the only one left to conduct the experiment," Long Qingyu took off his gun and looked around at everyone, "Lingxi, you take them..."

"What are you talking about? Aren't we a team?" Tian Yichuan, with a vicious face, walked over and clamped Long Qingyu's shoulders. "Anyway, I want to stay, don't try to get rid of me."

"That's right, Shangguan must have a comprehensive plan. I believe him. Although he is a bit mean and annoying, he is still very reliable in his work."

Ling Xi expressed her position without hesitation, not to mention Shangguan Huai, who had already linked everyone together with Tian Yichuang on his left and Shangguan Yu on his right.

As for Rong Xiao...

They didn't even bother asking. Once they heard there were games and missions, they were so excited that they started stretching their muscles on the side of the road.

The barrier above suddenly accelerated as it was approaching the ground, completely closing the mission map.

Shangguan Yu looked at those righteous faces speechlessly, and suddenly said: "I don't have any plans, and I haven't thought about anything yet. I'm just talking."

Now, the barrier map is completely closed and no one can get out.

"Shangguan, are you kidding?" The gum that Tian Yichuang was chewing suddenly lost its flavor.

Ling Xi stared at Shangguan Yu for a few seconds, then smiled and patted him on the back: "Hey, why don't you understand Shangguan? He must have a plan to tease us. Let's go, let's find a place to wait for the mission."

“…” Shangguan Yu had nothing to say.

Sometimes being too reliable is not sure if it’s a good thing or not. He does things carelessly, and others actually think that this is a plan he has carefully considered.

Seeing the two people walking in front confidently and boldly, Shangguan Yu kindly decided not to attack them for the time being.

"Let's spend 30 minutes to see if any special prompts will pop up if we don't enter any tasks." Shangguan Yu raised his bracelet and took a look. It showed the time that had passed since he entered the bubble.

After everyone checked the team situation and confirmed that they were all bound together, Long Qingyu temporarily found an empty shop on the street to stay.

Zombies pass by on the street from time to time. This is a downtown area after all, so there must be a lot of zombies. It's just a matter of luck that you don't encounter any.

"What do you think? If we don't input the task, will they force us to do a super difficult task?" Tian Yichuang sat crookedly in the chair, wrapped the chewing gum in toilet paper and spit it out.

Ling Xi, who was standing next to him, wanted to laugh. It was the end of the world and there were not many people alive, but he still paid attention to his quality.

"I just said that this is a test, and testing definitely requires taking risks. Of course there will be this risk."

These words were not meant to scare them. Shangguan Yu had long realized that the hexahedron was not a golden finger that existed to provide them with convenience. It was just a material station for equal exchange. Exchanging things for risks was its basic rule.

Those who cannot accept the rules can either give up the mission, give up the opportunity to obtain supplies, and leave the map before the bubble closes; or input items with extremely low demand, but there are still certain bugs.

Escape is not Shangguan Yu's life principle. He has never encountered a situation that is completely out of control and cannot be solved by himself.

So, he wanted to try it no matter what. Once successful, they would have a deeper understanding of the hexahedron.

After staying in the shop for less than ten minutes, everyone's wristband suddenly lit up and the same text prompt popped up.

The light screen reminded them that they had entered the game and asked them to enter the required items as soon as possible.

Shangguan Yu ignored it and simply crossed it out.

The second prompt popped up 20 minutes later, and the system continued to ask them to enter the items they needed, with no other additional warnings.

The others were reminded twice in a row and were still a little nervous, but Rong Xiao, who was standing next to them, saw Shangguan Yu click the close button again, so he imitated his operation and turned off the reminder without hesitation.

"Shangguan...are you really not going to input anything? Do you want to input a simple item, such as a bottle of mineral water?" The prompt appeared twice, disturbing Ling Xi so much that she felt uneasy and couldn't sit still.

Shangguan Yu, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, opened his eyes. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, which made Ling Xi's heart skip a beat.

"We stayed here to test what would happen if we didn't import the necessary items," Shangguan Yu said, his childish face adorned with a serious, stern expression. "We all know the consequences of importing a bottle of unnecessary substance. There's no need to experiment."

Inputting seemingly simple requirements seemed like a solution to the problem, but Shangguan Yu also considered some potential problems and it was not suitable to try.

If a person inputs "mineral water", a necessary item that seems worthless and insignificant, when he is thirsty, will it increase the difficulty of the task?

It is also entirely possible that the system determines that mineral water is an item they desperately need at the moment, thereby increasing the difficulty of the task.

The bubble was closed and they couldn't get out. Shangguan Yu had no intention of taking this mission lightly. He had to make good use of this precious opportunity.

Thirty minutes into the game, a warning to enter the required items popped up again.

They collectively ignored it, and in the 40th minute, something different jumped out.

A row of thin red characters appeared on the screen:

[Because the required items were not entered as required, the system will randomly match rare survival supplies as the required items after five minutes, and the game tasks will be calculated according to the random difficulty.]

[The game difficulty will match the general demand for the required items]

Random difficulty!!

As soon as they saw the word "random", Ling Xi and Tian Yichuang felt a headache. They hugged their heads and curled up in their chairs without saying a word.

The current situation is like an exam with uncertain difficulty and random questions. It would be better to give people a direction directly so that they can be mentally prepared.

Ling Xi and Tian Yichuang looked at Shangguan Yu miserably, their eyes filled with eager anticipation to hear good news from him.

"Don't look at me, I told you this was a test..."

No matter what kind of eyes were staring at him, Shangguan Yu could ignore them and focus on what he wanted to do.

He even took out a can of coffee from his bag, opened the can with a click, and took a sip slowly, as if he was enjoying life on a sunny day.

Five minutes later, the coffee was finished, the light screen popped up again, and a new prompt came.

Ling Xi was a little afraid to look, and Tian Yichuang also gritted his teeth angrily, staring at the corner of the light screen as if intimidating an enemy to adjust his mood.

I have never been so nervous when the results were announced after the exam.

"Well, everyone is really lucky." Shangguan Yu said calmly after checking the message.

Good luck!!

Ling Xi and Tian Yichuan immediately shifted their gaze to the light curtain's reminder...

[Mission Difficulty: Three and a Half Stars]

[Mission Location: Lufie Elevator Apartment]

[Task Tips: Black Hole, 6081, Numbers, Clean Up Zombies]

Oh no, if the full star rating is five stars, the random tasks they receive are not easy at all.

After randomly receiving the game task, the interface for independent input has turned gray and the required items can no longer be entered.

On the interface of the required goods, the words "special gift box" have been automatically bound by the system.

That is, they don't know what they will get until they complete the task.

"Is this what we call good luck?!" Ling Xi and Tian Yichuang slid from their chairs to the floor like deflated balloons.

Rong Xiao read the instructions very carefully and tugged at Shangguan Yu's clothes. "What do you mean? Are the game tasks very difficult?"

"It sounds quite high, it shouldn't be simple."

"That game must be exciting!!"

Perhaps the only happy person in the entire team was Rong Xiao.

For her, the only thing that matters is whether the game is fun or not, whether it is exciting or not, and whether she will die or become half-crippled doesn't seem to be within her scope of concern.

"Everyone cheer up, we already have experience playing games once. This time we need to be more careful than last time, and we will definitely be able to complete it successfully!" Long Qingyu said comforting words while wiping his precious gun. His relaxed and calm look and the sense of reliability in him were like a placebo, which made Ling Xi and Tian Yichuang suddenly calm down.

"Yes, with Brother Long here, everything will be fine."

"That's right."

Both of them had been saved by Long Qingyu. The reason why Long Qingyu was defaulted to be the captain was because of his reliability and calmness.

"Okay, it's time to go, let's hurry."

While the others were sitting down to rest, Long Qingyu asked Ling Xi to take out his cell phone from the space. He was now checking the national map that he had downloaded on his cell phone before the end of the world.

Ruffiai Square is less than a kilometer ahead, and the elevator apartment is right next to it. It has a total of 15 floors and you should be able to see it as soon as you arrive at the square.

After simply packing up some usable things in the shop and putting them in Lingxi's space, the group headed towards the square.

They encountered several zombies on the way, which were all dealt with by Tian Yichuang and Ling Xi. Rong Xiao also followed suit and dealt with two of them with an iron hook.

Seeing that she was quite skilled in killing monsters, Ling Xi's motherly worries finally subsided and she focused on what she should do.

Occasionally she would come across scattered supplies on the road, and she would not let go of any of them. She would pick them up one by one and put them into the space.

There were quite a few zombies in the square, staggering and howling, as if they were in a bad mood because they had no food to eat.

Shangguan Yu dodged and threw a stone from a distance. Several zombies were moving very fast and must have mutated recently.

Not wanting to waste time fighting on the road, Long Qingyu took them through a small path to the door of Lufie's elevator apartment.

The door was wide open, there were traces of blood on the ground from being dragged, and personal belongings were scattered everywhere, but there was not a single zombie or corpse to be seen.

There is a shop next to it, and the entrance is very small. Even if the sun is shining outside, the entrance is dark, like a monster's open mouth.

Ling Xi, who originally only had a kitchen knife, took out another one and asked weakly, "Go?"

"Go!" Tian Yichuang walked forward without hesitation and walked side by side with Long Qingyu.

The entrance was a narrow corridor. I turned carefully but didn't see any zombies. Instead, I saw the elevator door at the end.

"I really want to take the elevator..." Tian Yichuang leaned against the elevator, waiting for someone to speak.

Shangguan Yu raised his hand and made a quiet gesture: "There are other living people in the elevator apartment."

"Hmm?" Rong Xiao also held his breath and listened carefully.

The sound was small but faintly heard from above. Someone was singing...
