"Wait, does the Red Team have any intact bodies? If so, please bring one back," Xia Chuhe instructed.

There was one thing that bothered her a lot.

The first casualty for the Red Team was when their ambush failed, and they were killed instead, leaving behind a charred corpse.

The second casualty occurred during the scramble for supplies, when the location was exposed and the person was killed, leaving behind a charred body.

The fact that the first body was burned could be explained as Xia Chuhe setting the fire and being caught in the crossfire.

However, the second body was not the work of Xia Chuhe, nor was it anyone else in the team. The only explanation is that the surviving members of the Red Team deliberately burned their companion's body.

If this is the case, then why did they burn their companion's body? What information was hidden in the corpse?

Xia Chuhe had to personally examine the bodies of the Red Team members before he could feel completely at ease.

Fortunately, all the members of the Red Team were dead this time, so they couldn't destroy the evidence. Wang Mei and Bai Jiu successfully led Lu Xiaofeng and the masked man's corpse back to the temporary safe point—next to the hollow tree.

Xia Chuhe: "This mask?"

Wang Mei: "They have their own uniforms, everyone has one."

Wang Mei felt a pang of regret; she should have taken off her mask first to check. She'd rushed back without getting anything done.

Xia Chuhe was unaware of her many thoughts and directly removed the masked person's mask in front of everyone.

The masked man's mask was a full-coverage type, completely encasing his head. After removing the mask, there was even a face towel underneath, covering the area below the masked man's eyes.

Removing the mask, Xia Chuhe could see the masked person's face clearly and finally understood what they were trying to hide.

There were two words on that face—human-machine.

With abundant initial resources and a well-defined live map, everything becomes clear.

Because these people are bots!

Human-machine interaction is part of a system!

Xia Chuhe was so angry he laughed.

The dungeon game was set up in a serious manner, with simple and clear rules, seemingly adhering to the principle of fairness. However, from the very beginning, the dungeon never intended to be fair to the players!

Players are always at a disadvantage compared to the platform. Even if a player has superb skills, they will inevitably fall into the traps designed by the platform.

Realizing the true danger of the dungeon, Xia Chuhe actually felt a sense of relief.

Having eliminated the dangers in the instance, Xia Chuhe focused his attention on dealing with the unpredictable threats within the team.

When Lu Xiaofeng saw Xia Chuhe looking at him, he quickly put on a fawning smile: "City Lord, I knew you would come to save me."

"Stop talking nonsense and reveal your identity." Xia Chuhe's expression turned cold.

Lu Xiaofeng looked completely innocent: "What's my identity?"

Xia Chuhe stared at him for a while, then suddenly laughed: "I have something amazing. If I use it on you, I can completely read your brain. Your memories, your emotions, your thoughts—it will all be like a video, at my disposal. Of course, this amazing thing also has side effects. After your brain is read, it will become a blank slate. You will become an idiot, a moron who can't even eat or drink."

Lu Xiaofeng's face turned pale, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably.

Xia Chuhe's gaze quickly swept over the other four people, and finally returned to Lu Xiaofeng.

"I once used it on a stubborn but intelligent and loyal believer. I saw his entire life, and I saw the God he worshipped. Through his memories, I stood before God and personally exposed His true nature. The so-called God was nothing more than a filthy, despicable creature with a bit of good luck. As for that person, let me think about his end..."

As he listened, Lu Xiaofeng actually stopped trembling. He sat cross-legged on the ground, lowered his head, and gripped his combat uniform tightly with his right hand, as if he were holding something very important.

“I remember now, becoming an idiot believer is worthless to God. He was ignored by his God and died in the punishment God gave me.”

Xia Chuhe bent down slightly, looking down at him with an absolute air of superiority, and asked with a smile, "Would you like to try...some good stuff?"

“No need.” Lu Xiaofeng changed his timid attitude and answered calmly, “I come from the Temple of the Heavenly God, and I will always be loyal to my God and my faith.”

Lu Xiaofeng hooked the rope around his neck, pulling out a small bottle from the pendant cord. The bottle was full of blue pills.

He pulled out the cork from the bottle, poured all the pills into his mouth, and a relaxed and happy expression appeared on his face.

Under the influence of the drugs, Lu Xiaofeng lay lazily on the ground, stretching and rolling around, as if performing a unique dance.

"Bru?" Liao Ning exclaimed, revealing the name of the medicine.

Blue is an addictive drug with sedative and hallucinogenic effects, and Lu Xiaofeng had clearly taken it before. His mindless rolling around disturbed a venomous snake in the jungle, and its two fangs killed him.

Wang Mei's eyes flickered: "He's dead? So respectably? You're just letting him go like that?"

"Otherwise what?" Xia Chuhe retorted. "Do you think he has more value?"

Wang Mei remained silent. Everyone had witnessed Lu Xiaofeng's stupidity, and Wang Mei absolutely did not believe that his superiors could give him any important instructions.

However, there was one thing Wang Mei was very curious about: "Does the good thing you're talking about really exist?"

"Do you know Dream City? The god I'm talking about is the god of Dream City. The believer I'm talking about is one of the district chiefs of Dream City."

Taotie City possesses half the authority of Dream Chaser City, a fact known to most newcomers to Taotie City. However, the reason why Taotie City possesses half of Dream Chaser City remained a mystery until Xia Chuhe revealed this—she had broken the rules of Dream Chaser City.

To achieve such success, one must naturally possess methods far exceeding those of ordinary people, and the so-called "good things" are most likely real.

Wang Mei believed Xia Chuhe's words, and her heart grew increasingly bitter. But this bitterness lessened her inner turmoil.

She felt a little tired.

She couldn't see through Xia Chuhe's true nature.

...

With Lu Xiaofeng's death, a true map-wide announcement was issued—

The Red Team has been eliminated, and the final winner has been determined. The Blue Team, please stay put and wait, as you will soon be eliminated from the game.

The jungle scenery gradually blurred, with trees, grass, and soil turning into pixels and eventually disappearing completely.

Xia Chuhe and the others reappeared on the cliff before the parachute jump, with a familiar helicopter hanging beside it.

However, there is a slight change at the cliff this time; there is an extra table with two large gift bags on it.

One is a team prize, and the other is a personal prize for Xia Chuhe.
