Within the infinite game instances, players hid in disarray, eagerly hoping to find a safe house. Here, by paying a certain reward to the ghosts and gods, they could safely pass through da...
Chapter 350 Safe House
In the suburbs, the old house of the Xu family.
The men in black placed the graceful bonsai trees in the courtyard, but the dense and verdant needle-shaped leaves revealed a lingering haze.
When Xu Yan came over, he saw Yan Chengfan squatting by the pond feeding the fish with the light of his cell phone on.
Seeing him coming, the man with frizzy white hair turned around and pointed at the pool and said in surprise: "Look, these fish are sleeping with their bellies turned upside down."
The collector, who was about to speak, was choked.
"…Fish don't have brains, don't you?"
These fish have no idea how hungry or full they are. They eat as much as you feed them. Some of them are so full that their stomachs are turned upside down.
"Ah, is that so?" After being mercilessly mocked, Yan Chengfan realized that the fish that was turning over in its belly was about to die of being stuffed. He stood up and handed the remaining fish food to his anxious subordinates beside him, patted the non-existent dust on his sleeves, and walked towards the door, apparently intending to leave.
Xu Yan spoke out to stop him.
"What? You don't want to continue watching the live broadcast?"
"What are you looking at?" Yan Chengfan stopped and turned back to ask: "Look at those two idiots being tied up by a little favor and walking around like donkeys?"
Perhaps his description was too apt, the collector couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
"The main system seems to have grown some brains this time. It's not like before when it just kept creating obstacles. It's a bit unexpected," he said.
The white-haired man took the coat handed to him by his subordinate. It was hard to tell whether he was angry or not with his expression, and there was even a hint of resignation in his tone.
"This is not the first time we have paid the price for our arrogance."
The deaths of Saiziye and Song Longchuan have made the mimics realize the consequences of arrogance, but some habits cannot be changed just by saying so. The fact that humans are inferior creatures has been deeply imprinted in their minds.
"As a creature of the main system, the arrogance engraved in my bones cannot be removed."
After saying that, he pulled his long windbreaker closer and walked towards the gate of Xu's house surrounded by his men in black.
Xu Yan silently watched the other person's figure disappear completely and murmured.
"Who is behind this..."
The situation in the copy was very strange. It was clearly a massacre, but it became peaceful after the first five people died. It seemed precarious, but no one died.
Gan Mi always finds some irresistible beloved things before meeting the players; and Wang Ying is like a child entering an amusement park, completely addicted to it.
This is not the main system's usual style.
Xu Yan pushed the single-lens lens on his nose, with a playful look in his eyes.
“How long can this balance be maintained?”
The monsters in the dungeon are limited, and other players often get some strange and weird wines in vain due to problems with supply replacement.
The monsters will eventually be killed, and Gan Mi will run into other players sooner or later.
"What will we do then?"
He began to look forward to the balance in the copy being broken.
When Xu Yan returned to the warm room, the screen belonging to Wang Ying was filled with black and red blood, almost completely covering the floor of the abandoned factory. The gray ceiling was reflected in the red and black blood.
The girl stood on top of the pile of monster corpses, her blonde hair already soaked in rotten blood.
"Refreshing!"
She had a very high opinion of the dilapidated factory.
As a top player in the game, few people are willing to play against her on weekdays.
Even in the dungeon, the main focus is on chasing. She chases while others run. After catching up, she uses the simplest means to send the other party to a painless death.
Wang Ying was willing to pat her beloved weapon and swear that she did not like killing the weak.
She has a fanatical desire for battle. Rather than fighting with skulls that can be crushed at a touch and weak limbs, she prefers to fight with powerful people. The burning desire to fight is clamoring and burning her heart every moment.
Although these monsters have different strengths, each one is full of murderous intent, and there are enough of them.
The feeling of traveling through the blood rain intoxicated her.
"I hope that all copies in the future will have monsters of this quality!" She stood on the pile of monsters and made a request to the main system without any hesitation.
After saying that, Wang Ying jumped down from the pile of corpses and walked towards the workbench that would spawn supplies at regular intervals.
There are food and monsters here, it is a rare playground.
She promised to play a few more rounds and then leave!
At the same time, in the dilapidated city, Gan Mi stood at a crossroads again.
"Tsk, again?"
It has been four hours since he entered the game. He has received information about surrounding players more than once, but every time he wants to go over to deal with it, some wine that he can't take his eyes off will appear in the opposite direction.
This is no longer a trap; it is an overt conspiracy that cannot be more obvious.
This time too.
If he walks another kilometer to the right, he will meet several players who are looking for food. If he is lucky, he may be able to catch the clown and complete the important task earlier.
But a vending machine lit up on the left, with a buzzing sound coming from inside. On the side was a poster of a new canned product. The "Drunk" that minors were prohibited from purchasing was obviously a liquor he had never drunk.
With the experience from previous times, Gan Mi stood at the intersection and hesitated for a long time.
He had not been able to find the right food because of the lack of ice and other necessary accompaniments, so the liquor was not very pleasant to drink. However, the taste was novel and could be swallowed when paired with monster meat.
If Gan Mi hadn't read the copy introduction, she would have almost thought that she had entered a psychological attack copy.
We stopped at the intersection for five minutes.
In the end, he chose the left side - because he saw a sign on the vending machine saying it also sold ice cubes.
In full view of everyone, Gan Mi came to the vending machine.
Considering that the thing had just been powered on and the ice might not be frozen yet, he waited with great patience.
Everything was broadcast live on the screen.
Xu Zhiyan sat on the bench, staring at the screen intently. As time passed, the panel of the main system no longer stood upright like before. After Xu Zhiyan figured out the rules, it turned into a fan-shaped translucent panel, hanging on both sides.
When the ghost rushed back from the nightmare community, he stopped at the door of the hall and stared at the young man sitting at the top.
The command panel representing the highest level in the game floated obediently beside Xu Zhiyan, allowing him to point it here and there with his slender white fingertips; the players with extremely high rankings did not start killing, but were extremely well-behaved and obedient under the guidance, and the entire copy fell into peace; the monsters in the safe house carried out their normal activities in an orderly manner, constantly creating huge wealth.
Everything is going according to Xu Zhiyan's ideas.
His expression was calm and everything was under control. It was hard to tell that this was his first time operating the main system panel, and he did not seem nervous or panicked at all.
At this moment, the ghosts and gods heard the sound of their own heartbeats.
He felt that Xu Zhiyan was born to be at the top.
"Is the nightmare neighborhood thing over?"
Seeing the ghosts and gods coming back, Xu Zhiyan raised his head and smiled at his own party A.
The familiar voice interrupted the ghost's thoughts and brought him back to consciousness. He nodded, walked towards the black and gold bench and replied, "Yes."
Xu Zhiyan moved to the side to make room for the ghosts and gods, but he was busy commanding the monsters.
"Someone has already arrived near the safe house. Be prepared to pick us up."
He used supplies as bait to lead the players except Wang Ying and Gan Mi to the safe house. It was already past four in the morning and dawn would come in a few hours, so they had to hurry.
The monsters received the order and immediately got busy.
Food, water, medicine... everything that players can use has been placed in the yard in advance.
Perhaps because he was about to get 100 million yuan, Xu Zhiyan was extremely generous to his new cash cows.
…
The first to arrive at the safe house were the Joker and Dou Hongshan.
In addition to the two of them, they also met several other players along the way.
Although there were no monsters, the scarcity of supplies made the players emotionally unstable. Someone also encountered a collapsed house on the road and was seriously injured, causing the group to look very embarrassed.
When they saw the door of the safe house, several wounded soldiers who had originally looked pale showed expressions of ecstasy and could hardly believe their eyes. Except for the clown, even Dou Hongshan could not help showing joy.
"Great! We're saved."
"My stomach is melting. I'll do anything for anyone who can stutter..."
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, I thought I was going to starve to death in this dungeon."
"I'm sorry, Lao Zhang. I apologize to you. I was just thinking that if you died, we would share you and eat you..."
"Fuck, I'll eat you next time!"
Some people were crying and shouting with joy, while others bit their cracked lips and walked forward in silence.
It's like a thirsty person in the desert finding water.
His body, weakened by hunger, burst out with amazing strength at this moment.
The group almost cried as they rushed into the safe house. Only the clown walked at the end of the team. Before entering the safe house, he did not forget to leave reconnaissance props around.
As soon as Dou Hongshan entered the yard, he was stunned.
She remembered that the last time she came here, the resting place for players was not luxurious, and was even a bit shabby. The monsters also ignored them. The situation did not improve until the main system paid the "ransom".
Unexpectedly, this time not only were there a lot of food and water placed in front of them for them to use, but the legendary conscientious businessman in the safe house also appeared.
A man in a black suit and a bird-beak mask was standing on the stairs surrounded by monsters. When he met Dou Hongshan's gaze, the other party just nodded slightly and raised his hand to make a gesture of "please enjoy".
The starving players only saw food. It was not until everyone had eaten most of the food that they finally regained their senses and, like Dou Hongshan, discovered the person on the stairs.
Before Xu Zhiyan could speak, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties burst into tears and fell to his knees with a bang.
"Please, can you let me stay here until the game is over... My wife is pregnant and she is waiting for me to come back. I can't die here, I absolutely can't die here..."
He repeated the last sentence, his eyes fixed on the elegant and noble businessman.
Before entering the dungeon, everyone knew that this dungeon was initiated by the Utopia. They understood that they had a chance of death, but what if there was a chance of survival?
Dou Hongshan sighed, walked to the man, and wanted to persuade him to put aside his unrealistic fantasies.
Unexpectedly, the next second, the masked businessman laughed.
"You are so lucky! Tomorrow is the safe house's annual grand celebration. We plan to open the external passage in advance and leave the dungeon."
Liu Liu was holding a red box and slowly leaned forward, his intentions obvious.
Xu Zhiyan continued: "If everyone is willing to pay some points, then we don't mind letting everyone leave early."
The first batch of players arrived at the safe house, and the new negotiation options of the main system should be available soon. He knew that killing a mimetic might earn him points as a reward from the main system, but it was almost impossible to kill Gan Mi and Gui Shi by relying solely on the players currently thrown into the dungeon.
The only way to save these people's lives is to send everyone except the Utopia out of the copy before dawn.
