Chapter 712: The Stepmother (16)

Moreover, four men in black constitute one meal. As long as four men in black are killed, they can have a meal. In fact, they could just need two meals. They could skip breakfast or combine lunch and dinner into a portion for breakfast, since leftovers are not necessarily unacceptable.

"We're still missing one man in black. Hopefully, they can make it work."

Wen Wan searched for energy points while trying to survive. In the middle of the attack, she was surrounded by two men in black, so she ran away.

The energy points are not coming in enough to cover the expenses. Qiao Xiaoya's connections are also incredibly unreliable; after all this time, she has only managed to bring in one more energy point.

No one went to gather in the middle because the distance was too far, and they hadn't even found the location of the safe zone yet.

The plan couldn't keep up with the changes; everyone was acting independently.

Soon, people were eliminated, and Lin Ge was the first to be eliminated.

At least Wen Wan had three energy points given to her by Qiao Xiaoya, but Lin Ge's little dumpling obviously didn't earn her any energy points. Moreover, Lin Ge didn't have a cheat like the Wen Wan system, so it was normal for her to be the first to be eliminated when her physical strength was low.

Another hour or so passed.

Chen Kai was eliminated.

Wen Wan met Chen Xi, and the two temporarily cooperated.

Chen Xi had two energy points in his hand. Wen Wan asked curiously, "Have you been running away the whole time?"

Chen Xi looked much more disheveled than himself. Chen Xi was also helpless, "That man in black is like he has surveillance cameras installed. They can find me no matter where I hide. I'm almost exhausted. You're really lucky, and you even killed one of the men in black. Impressive."

Wen Yan: "..."

She doesn't deny that she's lucky; after all, she has a cheat code, and she is indeed lucky.

"I have three more mission points here. We need to find Brother Zihua, and then the three of us need to work together to kill a man in black. Only then can we guarantee that we'll have food tonight."

Chen Xi: "Okay."

Chen Xi had no hope, but strangely enough, since he got together with Chen Qian, the probability of being chased by men in black had greatly decreased, and he could even escape quickly if he encountered them.

However, they did not find Liu Zihua because he was eliminated halfway through the journey.

Wen Yan: "..."

Chen Xi: "..."

So this plan is not feasible. "We can only hope that Yunduo and Xiaoya can be more reliable," Chen Xi said.

Wen Wan nodded.

Chen Xi directly gave two energy points to Wen Wan, "At least you have a chance to kill one of the men in black. However, I feel that the production team will not let us encounter any lone men in black. If there are two men in black, I can lure one away."

"OK."

The thought of nine men in black attacking the two of them is terrifying.

Soon, Xiaoya and Yunduo each sent an energy point.

Chen Xi left one to save his life.

However, Wen Wan was exhausted and was sweating profusely. Fortunately, the two found a safe zone, and the men in black could not get close to them from five meters away.

Once they reached the safe zone, the two began to replenish their energy.

There were some compressed biscuits and drinks in the safe zone, enough to stave off hunger but not to fill you up.

Neither of them complained; they quickly ate and drank water, then rested.

They only have half an hour, and it also consumes one energy point. Yes, it takes one energy point to enter each time. It only matters the time, not how many people enter, whether it's one person, three people, or five people.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the two had regained a lot of their strength, so they left the safe zone.

Then they began searching for energy points. The system said there were at most ten energy points that could be found in total. The production team couldn't possibly let them survive by searching for energy points alone; they had to rely on the children. It wasn't the children who suffered, but these unfortunate adults.

Wen Wan found an energy point, then encountered an attack. The two of them each spent an energy point to become invisible and run away.

Wen Wan offered Chen Xi an energy point, but he refused.

"You should keep it; you are the hope of our entire village."

Wen Yan: "..."

She currently has five, enough to kill one of the men in black without being captured. She needs one more energy point to guarantee she can kill the man in black.

"Xiaoya, you'd better hurry up and do your best, I'm counting on you to save me."

However, before Xiaoya could come to her rescue, she and Chen Xi were once again surrounded and attacked by men in black. Chen Xi then lured the men away, and within ten minutes, Chen Xi was eliminated.

Wen Wan hid in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras, at the junction of a trash can and a corner of the wall.

"System, analyze the current distribution of the men in black."

Then he discovered that there were at least two men in black coming towards him in a group.

Wen Yan: "..."

"We can still find a few energy points."

Three.

"Okay, if you get three, we'll go for it. I'm counting on you."

System: [Don't worry, I'm sure I can make sure you get food.]

What followed was a battle of wits between Wen Wan and the director. In fact, the director was also shocked, "Are you sure you didn't give Chen Qian special treatment? How come she seems to know the location of those energy points, and how is she so lucky to avoid the men in black?"

The staff member shook his head. "No, it's absolutely confidential."

Director: "Is it just good luck? This luck is ridiculously good!"

Wen Wan quickly found three energy points, wasting one energy point along the way, and now has seven energy points.

She needs to find two men in black, then successfully lure one away, and then kill the other.

The energy point is a small ball of dye.

Wen Wan started making slingshots. If close combat doesn't work, we'll attack from a distance.

He found a rubber band and a tree branch, quickly made a crude slingshot, and made corrections according to the system's suggestions. Then he set his sights on a man in black.

This wasn't a simple random selection; rather, the system analyzed the remaining nine men in black and ultimately chose the one who was the slowest and had the worst stamina.

Persimmons should be squeezed until they are soft; hard ones are difficult to handle.

Then they started making plans.

First, lure these two men in black to a place far away from the other men in black, then lure away the other man in black and kill one of them.

Wen Wan first pretended to approach the two men in black, then frantically fled when she received the alarm, fooling the director and the two men in black. She lured the men in black to the place furthest away from the others, and then used her clone skill to distract one of the men in black.

There are six energy points remaining.

Wen Wan was about to make her move on the weakest of the men in black.

Wen Wan used an invisibility skill, climbed a tree, and then began to attack her opponent.

Of the five attacks, three were successful.

This is the best Wen Wan can achieve by cheating with the system; she's still two short.

Just when Wen Wan was in despair, two more people suddenly arrived. Qiao Xiaoya actually saved her life at the most critical moment. Wen Wan quickly aimed at the man in black, while another man in black continued to approach from the side.

Wen Wan didn't even have a chance to think before she quickly launched the attack.

Both shots hit.

Wen Wan was exhausted and gave up. She was grabbed by a man in black and taken to a room where the other eliminated guests were. Soon after, the children also returned.
