Before the hour was up, fifty more people suddenly appeared here.

Ultimately, the number was set at 58!

Qin Bai used his amplification ability to directly enhance the effect of the rat-attracting mushroom, expanding its range and attracting even more people to the area.

Once these people regained consciousness, they saw Qin Bai and the other two in front of them.

Among these 58 people, there was finally someone who recognized Qin Bai.

He cried out in horror, "They're cats!"

Immediately, these people tried to escape, but at that moment, Qin Bai took out the Tiger Soul Blade and chopped down a tree with one stroke.

The tree fell to the ground with a loud thud, which startled them.

No one saw where Qin Bai took the knife from.

"The game didn't say that the rats had to be alive. If you don't run, I'll give you a chance to live, but if you run, you'll only die!"

But that same person still shouted, "Don't believe him! If we lose the game, we'll all die anyway..."

But before he could finish speaking, Qin Bai chopped off his head with a single stroke, and blood gushed into the air like a fountain.

"Anyone who wants to run can do so now."

Qin Bai looked at them and said calmly.

Immediately, no one dared to speak.

If you don't run now, you might die in seven days, but if you run now, you'll die now.

They can still distinguish between what is important and what is not.

On the first day, they exceeded the target, but unfortunately, the game does not have an accumulation system.

Instead, they need to catch 10 mice every day; only after seven days will they be considered to have won.

However, having so many people is also a burden for them.

Zhong Ke, being a graduate student from a prestigious university, was quick-witted and came up with an idea.

"Boss, it seems like the three of us can't possibly guard so many people, right?"

"Hu Tao and I are not very capable. If we were to keep watch at night, we wouldn't be able to keep an eye on so many people. If the big boss were to keep watch, he wouldn't have any time to rest."

Qin Bai naturally thought of this as well.

"Don't rush, we'll talk about it later."

Qin Bai patted him on the shoulder and said.

Seeing that the big boss wasn't in a hurry, Zhong Ke also calmed down.

After that, they needed to find something to eat. This was a forest, and there should be plenty of wild fruits and animals.

However, with more than 60 people in total, food alone is a huge problem.

Qin Bai was considering whether to let some people go, leaving only ten people would be enough.

But in the end, he rejected the idea.

Once the others are released, it will be much more difficult for them to catch them later.

Unless it's the last day, then yes.

Qin Bai also noticed something: many people didn't recognize them.

The only people who actually saw him were those who were present at the time, and their numbers were not many.

Finding food wasn't much of a problem for Qin Bai.

With his superpowers, he can easily catch wild animals. As for the rats, he only needs to ensure they don't starve to death within seven days.

Simply put, just give them some broth.

However, before capturing the wild animals, Qin Bai first created a cage made of ice to trap them before leaving.

In less than ten minutes, Qin Bai returned carrying a wild boar.

Hu Tao and Zhong Ke remained calm and began to help handle the situation.

As for why they didn't just take out the food from the space, the reason is simple.

Qin Bai wanted to try some fresh wild game; this was a rare opportunity.

After a while, the enticing aroma of wild boar meat reached the noses of the rats, who kept swallowing their saliva, but none of them dared to ask for a bite.

Qin Bai's tendency to use knives at the slightest provocation has made them utterly terrified of him.

Although Qin Bai didn't take out any food directly, he certainly provided a variety of seasonings, and the three of them ate with their mouths full of oil.

"I never expected wild boar meat to be so delicious. It's a pity I haven't had the chance to try it before."

Zhong Ke said while eating.

"Yes, wild boars are protected animals, so it's impossible to eat them. Only by following the leader can you enjoy the good life."

Hu Tao nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, leader, what about those people?"

After Hu Tao finished eating, he finally remembered the people who were imprisoned.

"Just give them some meat broth later, as long as they don't starve to death within seven days."

Zhong Ke and Hu Tao understood immediately.

Although they had no grudges against those people, at this moment, they were in this game and could only act according to the rules.

If they lose the game, they will be the ones who die in the end.

Nobody wants to die, so their only option is to win!

Afterwards, they made a pot of broth, simply adding a little salt and nothing else.

Even so, those fifty-odd people still looked completely satisfied with their drinks.

After all, meat is something that is rarely available after the apocalypse.

The first day passed quickly, and night fell.

This is the most challenging time for them. The ice prison needs Qin Bai's special ability to reinforce it, as it cannot remain indefinitely.

In other words, the two men had to take turns on night watch and prevent problems from occurring in the ice cell.

Of the original fifty-odd people, some had considered the issue of nighttime, but the ice cell completely shattered their plans.

They were truly powerless against a superhuman.

As Qin Bai lay on the ground, he thought of something.

That is, since cats have tools to deal with mice, do mice also have tools to deal with cats?

He quickly came to a conclusion.

Definitely!

However, you have to find the props yourself. Unless they are very unique in appearance, you can only find them by touching them with your hands.

Only in this way can you tell whether what you see in front of you is a prop.

"That's what makes it interesting."

Qin Bai closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

Because of the existence of the ice cell, the fifty-odd people were very well-behaved and did not make any other moves.

And so, the next day arrived.

They're going to start catching mice again.

However, a problem arose: with so many of them, their progress would be much slower.

Let alone catching mice, it's almost impossible to even get out of the area affected by the mouse-attracting mushrooms in a single day.

If you can't even get out of this area, how can you expect to catch other mice?

Hu Tao and Zhong Ke also thought of this, and they immediately realized the problem.

"Boss, I think you should act alone, trap them in the ice cell, and let the two of us guard them."

“I’ve calculated that if the icicles were thicker, they could probably last for more than ten hours. As long as we don’t encounter anyone else, it won’t be a problem for the two of us to guard them, so that the boss can go and catch more rats.”
