Chapter 372: The Terrifying Livestream Room (27)

After checking the firewood, the old man went back to sleep. It was only from the other players that Wen Wan learned that a new player had died because he had angered the corpse NPC in the forest and was killed.

Everyone looked at Gu Li, but Gu Li didn't react. That was normal, though; what reaction could he possibly have?

After all, saving lives is not his responsibility. This is a dog-eat-dog world, and life and death are sometimes a matter of fate.

The task in this live stream is simple: just stay safely for seven days. However, it's not easy either, because there are very few clues, and many people don't know how to leave.

However, this is not simple. If it were Gu Li, everything would be simple, since he has already cleared the game.

Everyone was relaxed and not at all tense.

When it was lunchtime, the old man woke up on time, then went to the kitchen and brought out a pig.

However, Wen Wan discovered that there was a red line on the pig's foot.

One of the newcomers looked terrible, and before he even sat down at the table, he went into a panic, shouting, "This isn't a pig, it's a person, it's a person!!! I remember this is the red thread he wore on his wrist, this is human flesh."

Others: "..."

Although the older people looked unwell, they managed to remain composed. However, the newcomers were much more distraught, their faces turning deathly pale with extreme fear.

Wen Yan: "!!!"

Doxxing!!!

"Why aren't you eating? Is it not to your liking?" the old NPC suddenly asked, his voice carrying a strange threat, as if if they didn't eat, they would be the ones lying on the table the next second.

The players looked at Gu Li, and Wen Wan also looked at Gu Li, only to find that Gu Li was already eating, and eating with exceptional elegance and poise, as if he were in a very high-class restaurant, rather than in this dilapidated house.

The veteran players started eating, and the new players were devastated, but to survive, they had to eat.

Wen Yan: "..."

Wen Wan can't do it, how can she eat this?

At this moment, the new player who had the first mental breakdown was captured by the NPC and taken to the kitchen. "Since you wasted food, you have to pay the price."

A scream rang out, and then the old man came out with a satisfied smile on his face. He looked at Wen Wan and asked, "Don't you want to eat either?"

Wen Yan: "!!!"

Wen Wan picked up her knife and fork. "System, come out here! What do we do now?"

Watching the other new players eat and vomit at the same time, the veteran players looked devastated and numb. Except for Gu Li, everyone was suffering, even the female lead was pale.

System: [There's nothing we can do.]

Wen Wan put a piece of meat in her mouth, and everyone's eyes were drawn to it. Then Gu Li took the piece of meat away, and the whole plate was taken away.

"what you do?"

“You’re pregnant, so you shouldn’t eat such rich and greasy food. I’ll eat it for you.”

Then he took out a few fruits from his pocket and handed them to Wen Wan.

Wen Wan looked at the old NPC and saw that he did not stop her, so she quickly took the fruit.

What is your relationship?

"No..." Before Wen Wan could finish speaking, Gu Li grabbed her hand. "She's my girlfriend."

"Huh?" Wen Wan's eyes widened.

"We eloped, so we've kept it a secret."

Wen Yan: "???"

Other players: "???"

The viewers watching the live stream were completely bewildered. What was that? Girlfriend? Eloping? Pregnancy? Gu Shen, do you even know what you're saying?

The old man went back to sleep. Wen Wan noticed that the old man slept all the time except when he was on a mission or eating. Moreover, many rules would not be disregarded as long as they were logical, but if the bottom line was crossed, he would easily be eliminated.

And when players are sleeping, they are safe.

The others rushed outside to vomit. Wen Wan was overwhelmed by the strong smell and also left the room.

"Why did you say that?" Wen Wan asked Gu Li, who had followed her out.

"Do you want to die?"

Wen Yan: "..."

How could she possibly want to die? But she simply couldn't bring herself to eat that meat.

“I said I’m your fan. As a fan, it’s natural to have a preference for your idol, which is normal.”

Wen Wan: "You're really my fan? Do you know what my first TV series was?"

Gu Li: "I don't watch TV dramas."

"I've never acted in a play before, hahaha..."

Wen Wan knew that the male lead couldn't possibly be her fan, and the male lead didn't seem to be acting like a fan at all, so the two of them just pretended to be clueless.

"Thanks."

Gu Li: "Mm."

"Don't you find it hard to accept? That's not pork, it's dead players."

Gu Li: "Why would you feel sad? When someone dies, they're dead. When a person dies, the light goes out. It's foolish to give your life for someone who has died."

Wen Yan: "..."

Fine, she can't learn that level.

"Being soft-hearted is not suitable for this world."

Wen Wan: "But isn't it even more terrifying if a person can't even be soft-hearted?"

Looking directly into Gu Li's eyes, he said, "I am human, so I have human weaknesses. Perhaps this seems ignorant and idealistic to you, but the laws and morals I have been taught in my first twenty years have taught me that the difference between me and the devil is that I have a bottom line to uphold. If I can kill one person today to live, and ten people tomorrow to live, then I think that's wrong."

"But you will die."

"So what if you die? Everyone dies eventually, right?"

She's already experienced being struck by lightning and killed, so no matter how painful it is, it can't be more painful than being struck by lightning, right?

"So do you think I'm wrong? Or are they wrong?" Gu Li looked at the players.

Wen Wan shook her head. "I don't think they did anything wrong."

"Why?"

"Survival is everyone's instinct. You're right, the dead can never compare to the living."

"Isn't that contradicting yourself?"

Wen Wan smiled. "I know, but that's my weakness. However, if I were in a situation where I had to die, I don't know if I would make a different choice."

Wen Wan doesn't really understand herself either.

She has a system, she has a cheat code, so even if Gu Li hadn't stepped forward, she would still have been 50% confident of surviving.

But when she's completely uncertain, she might curse herself for still being soft-hearted.

“Very interesting.”

Are you saying what I said is funny?

Gu Li shook his head. "No, the ridiculous thing is not you, but this world. You are normal, but this world is twisted. I... am twisted too."

Wen Yan: "???"

Is this a compliment? Being praised by the male lead is truly a strange experience.

After everyone finished vomiting, Wen Wan went to bring them water. Every player was in terrible condition, especially Long Qiaoqiao, who looked like she was about to die and was even talking nonsense, "I ate someone, I actually ate someone, Chen Yao, what should I do if I commit a crime? I killed someone..."
