Maze Survival 1

[Fusion degree 100%, game initialization completed! System random delivery...]

【Welcome to the survival game! Number of players this round: 2000.】

[Now you are in the underground maze instance. You need to survive and escape as soon as possible.]

[Note: The maze changes its layout every 48 hours, so please seize the opportunity. If you cannot escape, you will be trapped forever. Death in the game is real death. Those who escape and perform well will receive generous rewards.]

The cold mechanical system sound rang above my head.

Everyone, no matter where they were, was transported to a strange place by an unknown energy. This illogical and absurd phenomenon made everyone panic. They suspected that this was a dream, but this scene actually happened.

10 minutes ago, 7:50 Beijing time.

The sky outside the window is clear and the weather is sunny.

In the small rental house, Chu Yun ate the breakfast in front of her elegantly but quickly. She planned to go out to buy ingredients for the next week after eating.

This is the first month since she came back from the apocalypse.

In the end times, supplies are scarce, and in order to get a few bites to eat, people join the city security team and work hard every day.

Although I have to do odd jobs to earn some money for food, at least I have a stable life and I don’t have to worry about my life.

Unexpectedly, before a month had even passed, I heard the system prompt that the game was starting to initialize, and then I was pulled into the game to do a life-threatening survival mission.

Chu Yun cursed this crappy game in his heart, but his body honestly adapted to the surrounding environment quickly.

She checked her clothes, but aside from the long, black tracksuit she'd already put on, she saw nothing else. Before the system's final tone rang out, the army knife she'd grabbed and the backpack filled with rations vanished.

What a dog!

Chu Yun sighed. She had no weapons or food, and now everything was unknown. But the unknown was even more terrifying. The system had just announced that the maze would change its map every 48 hours, meaning her best escape time was two days. She had to seize the opportunity to escape this place as quickly as possible.

Look around.

It seemed like she was underground, dim and lacking sunlight. Her sightline was limited to 20 meters, and beyond that, it was pitch black. She stood in the middle of the aisle, her heartbeat the only sound in the silence. She called out, and after a few seconds, only her voice echoed, with a strange, distorted quality.

She let out an "eh" and her body couldn't help but shudder. Goose bumps appeared on her skin and she didn't dare to shout anymore.

The 2-meter-wide narrow corridor connects one fork after another, so many that it is dizzying. On both sides are towering earthen walls, which are very thick and soundproof.

If she hadn't been told that this was a maze, Chu Yun would have suspected that she had been teleported to an underground tomb.

After observing for a moment, she walked forward, her steps brisk, leaving marks on the earthen wall as she went.

After about four hours, not only had she repeated her route several times, but she hadn't seen a single soul. This dungeon seemed incredibly large. With 2,000 players packed in, she'd walked non-stop for four hours without even running into anyone.

She, who was always calm, began to feel a little shaken.

The earthen wall, turning a fork in the road, was still the same earthen wall. Repeating the action thousands of times gave her an illusion: would she fall into a time loop, constantly repeating the previous action, and constantly passing the same road.

Continuous fast walking is very tiring, and she has not replenished water and energy. Chu Yun is a little tired now, and she is ready to stop and rest.

She sat on the ground, half leaning against the wall, looking up and looking around.

This maze was different from any she had ever seen. First, it was very large, and second, it had no pattern at all.

Chu Yun simulated quickly in his mind, the Seven Star Formation, the Eight Diagrams, the Twelve Zodiac Signs, the Twenty-Four Hours, none of them could be applied.

If it really is a maze with no patterns, relying purely on luck would be a bit risky, after all, luck is something that is somewhat mysterious.

Chu Yun had a headache.

Suddenly, Chu Yun felt a chilly wind blowing overhead. Her heightened perception, honed during the apocalypse, made her more sensitive to danger than most. She quickly stood up, focused, and took a firm stance, bracing herself for battle.

Chu Yun didn't look up, but she knew there must be something strange above her head, because she felt a chill gradually spreading from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. The coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow was like the disgusting look of an ogre in the apocalypse when he saw a living person and wanted to eat the person alive.

She held her breath, concentrating, and completely absorbed herself in the environment. In an instant, she turned quickly and punched hard at the two unknown objects that flew towards her.

With a shrill scream, her powerful fist sank into the cold and sticky object and hit it!

The two unknown objects were hit by a powerful force and thrown against the wall. Chu Yun could see their true appearance.

There were two ghosts, one black and one white. Their faces were pale and their cheeks were so thin that only bones were left. Only their upper bodies were floating in the air, and they lightly supported each other to straighten their bodies that were knocked crooked.

They looked at Chu Yun with shock and fear. This human woman was unlike any other player they'd encountered before. Even with her back to them, she could react in time and send them flying into the wall! How terrifying!

Chu Yun saw the red health bars above their heads—97% remaining—and understood. The monsters here were all digitized, and because of her attacks, their health bars were only slightly reduced.

The white ghost turned around and said to the black ghost in a delicate voice: "Hubby, I'm hungry. I haven't eaten for a long time. I want to eat her."

That skeleton-like face had a girlishly sweet voice. Chu Yun felt a chill when he saw it and couldn't help shaking off the goose bumps on his body.

The black man put away his fierce expression and turned to comfort the female ghost next to him: "Wife, don't worry, wait until I defeat her, and then we'll have a good meal."

When talking about food, his two big mouths opened to an extremely exaggerated extent, and a long string of saliva came out from the corners of his mouth.

Damn! I met two starving ghosts, and they were showing off their affection.

Without giving them a chance to breathe, Chu Yun rushed forward and prepared to give them a fatal blow.

Coming towards him was a male ghost. He opened his mouth wide and waved his arms, intending to tear Chu Yun to pieces.

But Chu Yun didn't let it succeed. She dodged the male ghost's attacks quickly, hooking left and kicking right, making the male ghost grimace and feel dizzy.

When the female ghost saw her husband being beaten, she ignored everything and rushed forward screaming hysterically.

"You dare to hit my husband? I'm going to eat you!"

Chu Yun smiled coldly, "Ha! Come one, beat one; come two, beat two."

Having tested her strength, Chu Yun attacked without hesitation. She seized the opportunity, grabbed the ghost girl's hair, and pulled it out with all her might. She pulled so hard that half of her hair was shaved off, revealing her bloody scalp.

"Ahhh, my beautiful hair, you damn human." The female ghost looked at the hair falling on the ground and yelled in pain.

Chu Yun jumped up with his left foot, and his body flashed lightly behind the female ghost. He grabbed her hair with one hand and pulled it out, and punched her head with the other hand, each punch landing on her crown.

The male ghost rushed over and tried every means to get close to Chu Yun, but each time he was blocked by Chu Yun's body as a female ghost. Several times he was too fast to restrain his strength, and all his tricks were used on his wife, causing the female ghost who had no sense of pain to scream in pain.

Because she suffered a fatal blow, the female ghost lost blood quickly and her health bar was reduced to zero in a short while.

Chu Yun threw the female ghost away, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, turned his head and stared at the male ghost with a conflicted expression.

Only one left!

The male ghost flinched at Chu Yun's cold, fierce gaze. This woman was a weirdo! He turned around and tried to flee the scene. But Chu Yun had already seen through his intentions. He quickly stepped forward, stood on his left leg, and kicked out with his right leg, landing a powerful kick in the male ghost's abdomen. The male ghost had no chance of resistance.

The health bar is 0.

"Coo, coo, coo."

Damn it, Chu Yun hadn’t eaten for the whole morning and had gone through a fight, which had exhausted him physically. His stomach began to protest.

…

After the health bars of the two ghosts lying on the ground became 0, they turned into black smoke and dissipated into the air within 5 seconds. Instead, two gift boxes appeared on the ground. They were tightly packed and it was impossible to tell what was inside.

Chu Yun, who was always calm, finally felt a little emotional this time. What girl doesn't like the joy of opening blind boxes? She wiped her hands carefully on the hem of her clothes and prayed in her heart: Koi fish has arrived, the emperor of luck has arrived!

As soon as she touched the gift box, a virtual interface popped up.

[Congratulations on defeating the maze monster "Starving Ghost Couple". Your personal interface has been opened. You have received 60 gold coins (30*2)]

[2 gift boxes dropped from monsters, please check them carefully! Made in a survival game, quality guaranteed!]

Chu Yun felt it and quickly called up the personal interface, which showed:

Name: Chu Yun

Gold: 60

Props: None

The rest are blank.

Then, she carefully opened the first exquisite gift box, and found an empty card inside.

It was a weapon item card that said: Indestructible mace (material: steel, specifications: 63cm long, 27 wolf teeth).

Another gift box contained food and water: 500ml purified water × 1, chicken burgers × 2.

Chu Yun took out the card and clicked it to use it. A mace appeared on the ground. Exactly like the image printed on the card, the handle bore the words: "Survival Game Production." Once used, the item card remained in its physical form, so Chu Yun had to carry it with him.

She tried the mace and it was very easy to use, but the sharp fangs looked a bit scary and too lethal to hit people. However, it was very suitable for fighting system monsters. This was the only attack weapon she had obtained so far, and it was very good for self-defense.

The chicken burger was still steaming, as if it had just come out of the oven. She ate the whole thing and drank half a bottle of water, and her hunger instantly subsided. She put the remaining one in her pocket. She didn't know how much more she had to walk, so she saved this burger for later.

After a short rest, she prepared to hit the road again. It was always dark here, and without a watch, she had no idea of ​​time. It was easy to lose yourself if she stayed there for too long. According to her strict sense of time, it had been about five hours since she entered the game.

The monotonous earthen walls, the narrow and dark paths, the monsters hiding in the unknown space, Chu Yun felt a little nauseous as he walked along.

The surroundings were exceptionally quiet, with only the gentle tread of footsteps. Two more hours passed, and still no one appeared. Chu Yun was hoping for a few more monsters in the game to fight, so she could save some gold and food.

Just as she was thinking, Chu Yun noticed that there was something unusual about the earth wall near the ground in front of her. Its color was slightly different from other places. If she hadn't been observing carefully, most people would not notice this small detail.

She squatted down and touched the earthen wall back and forth with her hands, suddenly stopping at one place and tapping it with the back of her hand.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

The sound here is different from that elsewhere, it seems like there is a space inside.
