Chapter 3

Long Yuanyuan kept struggling in the pile of clothes, and finally Zhao Zhuo dug Long Yuanyuan out.

She pursed her lips, obviously having heard the laughter just now. There were tears in her big dark brown eyes, and she looked a little aggrieved.

Long Yuanyuan complained in a baby voice: "Laugh at me!"

This inexplicably tickled Zhao Zhuo and the others' funny bone, and they burst into laughter again.

While smiling, they sorted out the supplies on Long Yuanyuan's body, and then gave her a few casual instructions.

Long Yuanyuan looked confused the whole time.

When selecting ten people from a population of 800 million, Zhao Zhuo and his companions didn't think that they would be one of them. Moreover, all the mobile phones were stuck on the countdown. In addition, they all had their own tasks. With only two hours left, they had no time to go home. They could only hide their vague worries in their hearts.

Gu Tiantian rubbed Long Yuanyuan's little head and asked, "How many minutes are left?"

"Two minutes." Zhao Zhuo had a worried look on his face. The game system didn't even mention the selection criteria for the contestants. It just said ten people would be selected and then disappeared completely.

He smiled and said, "If I am really chosen, please take good care of your sister-in-law, and that kid Jiahao..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the office fell silent.

It’s not that they don’t take care of Zhao Zhuo’s family, but they once again realized that if they were really selected to participate in the game, they would never be able to come back.

Gu Tiantian's eyes were filled with fear and worry, and her voice trembled slightly as she said, "What are you dreaming of? Ten people out of a billion, do you think you'll be chosen?"

"Hahaha--"

A hearty laugh rang out, and Zhao Zhuo patted his head, "We definitely won't be chosen."

Although games represent opportunities to a certain extent, they are more about the unknown. No one is willing to leave their familiar family and go to an unknown and dangerous place.

At the same time, in the highest conference room in the capital, senior leaders were still holding a meeting.

Chief No. 1 stood silently in front of the Dragon Country map. "Whether the survival game is an enemy or a friend, or just a rigid program, we need to continue to observe."

"Right now..." Commander No. 5 carefully studied the information in his hands and the data analyzed by the emergency department, and said solemnly, "The survival game is biased towards the enemy. What it said seems neutral, but in fact it only emphasizes punishment and never mentions rewards from beginning to end."

"Furthermore, it emphasized twice that the game reserves the right of interpretation. In other words, we're merely contestants, and we don't have the slightest right to make the rules. Even if it changes its rules overnight, we have no recourse."

The conference room was silent.

The secretary next to him reminded him at the right time: "Chief, there is only one and a half minutes left before the game starts."

The number one leader nodded. "Have the emergency response department prepared and obtain the contestants' information as soon as possible. Also, once the live broadcast begins, compile all the information and prepare to post it online for everyone to learn from."

"yes."

Countless countdown screens on the earth have entered the last minute. The time on all the screens is exactly the same without any error, ignoring the time difference.

【Ten, nine, eight...】

Everyone couldn't help but stare at the screen, silently following the countdown in their hearts.

The earth is facing an unknown survival game.

Everyone prayed silently in their hearts that this was an opportunity, not a crisis.

【three. 】

【two. 】

【one. 】

[The game has begun, the contestants are in place, and the live broadcast will begin in three minutes.]

After the strange mechanical sound, everyone looked around to see if anyone had disappeared. When they found that their family, friends, colleagues, and even strangers were still there, they couldn't help but burst into laughter, tears of relief in their eyes.

The same thing happened at the E District Police Station. Zhao Zhuo and his colleagues made sure that the people around them had not disappeared, and even took out a roll call to name their names.

The director's face was serious, but his eyes were full of smiles as he said, "All police officers from the E District Police Station are present. There are no participants."

Everyone couldn't help but cheer together.

Gu Tiantian's eyes were full of smiles and relief.

She said: "The only thing left to be resolved is to find Yuanyuan's family! Once Yuanyuan finds her family, then we can..."

As she was speaking, she seemed to realize something and said with horror, "Where's Yuanyuan? Where is Yuanyuan?"

The cheers stopped instantly.

Everyone looked towards the conference table, then bent down and searched under the table for Yuanyuan.

I searched behind the door, on the windowsill, and even in the small cabinet, but still couldn't find Long Yuanyuan.

Zhao Zhuo's hands trembled. "I clearly remember that I held Yuanyuan on the table before the countdown ended. She couldn't be gone."

But.....

I just can’t find Long Yuanyuan.

The director's face changed, and he immediately contacted the emergency department: "Hello, there is a suspected contestant at the E District Police Station in the capital."

The operator breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the people in the police station had received special training, so their chances of survival were greater.

He asked quickly and officially, "Name, gender, age, occupation, and ID number, and please send all other relevant information to the official email address immediately."

The director looked at Li Jianjun, only to see him shake his head heavily. He instantly realized that Long Yuanyuan had not been found anywhere in the police station. He could only say solemnly, "Long Yuanyuan, female, about three years old, unemployed, and her relatives have not yet been found..."

"What?" The operator jumped up, his face filled with shock, doubting what he had heard. "Please repeat that."

The person in charge of the emergency department also noticed the operator's abnormality and hurried over to ask what happened with his eyes.

The operator took a deep breath, immediately played the audio, and continued, "Please repeat it again."

The police chief said: "The contestant's name is Long Yuanyuan, a female, about three years old, unemployed, and currently searching for her relatives."

There was silence in the emergency department, and everyone's face was filled with disbelief.

The officer in charge grabbed the microphone and asked, "Are you sure?"

Chief: "We have searched the police station over and over again, but we still haven't found Long Yuanyuan."

"Okay, we'll report it immediately..."

The operator immediately summarized all the information and handed it over to the relevant responsible personnel.

Meanwhile, the leaders in the highest conference room kept glancing toward the door. Every time someone pushed the door open, information about a competitor appeared.

There was the sound of clattering footsteps, and a tall man in military uniform walked in.

He distributed the information in his hand to all the leaders and introduced it at a very fast speed: "The eighth person has appeared, Long Yuanyuan, a female, about three years old. The relevant information was provided by the E District Police Department. The probability of Long Yuanyuan being a contestant is 90%."
