Ma Guoxu was clearly caught off guard by this man's move at this moment, and in a moment of surprise, he lost the initiative.

"Uncle Ma, he's trying to steal your car!" Cheng Shuang, who was sitting high up and could see far, quickly reminded him. The troublemaker who claimed to be seeking revenge had actually lost his ability to attack the car the moment he jumped out. Revenge was a pretense; stealing the car was his real intention. Otherwise, why didn't he speak up to help his brother when he was isolated and helpless?

They must be harboring malicious intentions!

Everything happened too fast. With just one punch, a line of blood spurted from Ma Guoxu's temple. It turned out that the shrewish man had a shard of glass about the length of a finger between his fingers, and red blood was spreading from the sharp end.

Ma Guoxu's pupils suddenly dilated and then contracted. As he fell, a large amount of blood gushed out, and soon the car was covered in blood inside and out.

The bald, burly man, whose upper body was slumped out of the car, convulsed and fell silent.

A woman's frantic screams could be heard.

Liu Juan covered her mouth but couldn't stop screaming. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the car full of blood. She never imagined that her actions would kill two people.

Du Jun pursed his pale lips and looked at the shrewish man who was carrying the corpse out with a look of glee. What the man didn't notice was that after Ma Guoxu died, the monitor flickered twice and then disappeared without a trace.

As the troublemaker happily settled into the car, the man in black robes arrived upon hearing the news. He raised his still smiling face, his gaze fixed. There was nothing in front of the car, but the hood, which seemed to be blowing cold winds, was gradually approaching from above...

"Save..." The last word was all the sound he could make.

Whether it was Du Jun or the other participants, they all watched his perilous situation with indifference. Even if such a person survived, the danger would be too high. One more person's strength was really nothing, so why take the risk?

The moment they began their private killings, something had already silently shaken their bottom line.

In a peaceful and normal social system, life is priceless!

Here, everyone is like grass, and survival is the only goal!

The battle was brutal. With ammunition and food exhausted, the participants, both acquaintances and strangers, were surrounded in a small encirclement. Only seven people remained, with seawater soaking their trousers at their feet and scattered black-robed figures above them.

The teddy bear returned to its original size and was held in Cheng Shuang's arms. The little girl's eyes were unfocused and her head was throbbing with pain, a side effect of the bear cub squeezing out all its energy. The others were not much better off than her, with dry, peeling lips and bluish under-eyes, as if they had been ill for a long time and were huddled together.

Wu Qian sobbed softly. Her boyfriend had switched cars with hers when her vehicle ran out of attack power. Even though he only held on for a short while, he still gave Wu Qian a last hope for survival.

The black-robed figures, swirling and hovering in the air, finally bent down to savor their victory feast. Liu Juan felt the last bit of warmth leaving her, her whole body trembling with cold, her teeth chattering. The bone-chilling pain was indescribable; she wished she could die immediately, for release would be the best end.

She heard pleas for mercy and cries, along with the piercing screams of little girls, but she couldn't care less about any of that. She just collapsed, wanting to rest. She was too tired. Killing wasn't her intention, and she didn't want to carry this burden any longer. She missed her grandmother…

'Ding! The Nintendo game has ended. Congratulations to all participants for successfully completing the trial period and becoming a glorious member of the maintainers. The Gate of Reincarnation is now officially open to all maintainers. Please look forward to it!'

Suddenly everything went dark, and all was quiet.

Lying in front of the cashier, Cheng Shuang closed her eyes tightly, her chest heaving violently, her small face showing an expression of extreme pain, her fingertips digging into her chest, and opened her eyes with a short scream.

The despairing, near-death feeling was almost identical to that of someone having a heart attack, leaving the little girl unable to recover for a long time, her eyes vacant as she stared at the dim light inside the convenience store.

The teddy bear lay quietly beside her, while several people, their bodies reeking of the salty smell of the sea, lay scattered around the shop.

The first to wake up was Du Jun. Even with his strong will, the boy couldn't escape the shadow of death at this moment. He staggered to his feet, his arms weak, and grabbed a bar of chocolates from the shelf. Just as he was about to open it, the little girl weakly reminded him, "Little brother, you haven't paid yet..."

The two looked at each other and were both stunned.

Du Jun stood up, holding onto the shelf, and found his phone behind the cashier, trying to scan the code to pay.

bite!

Even though my phone lost network signal, the text message still arrived as scheduled. At this moment, the total amount of savings on the phone screen became 150 points, and 10 points were deducted from the chocolate.

Tap tap tap, the shopping receipt was printed out immediately. Cheng Shuang finally came to her senses, hugged her teddy bear, got up, and curiously stood on tiptoe to look.

The receipt had instructions for use, and Du Jun lowered his arm a little to accommodate her height.

#Mingyang Brand Chocolate: Don't underestimate me just because I'm not imported. I have my own dignity! I'm made from ingredients ground and extracted in a 50-year-old workshop run by the descendants of the Mingyang family! The taste is amazing!

Du Jun broke off two pieces of chocolate according to the grid pattern, put them in his mouth, and the sweet taste instantly washed away his mental shock and physical exhaustion. The extreme negative emotions of despair also disappeared without a trace.

He chose chocolate because he was influenced by the movie, thinking that chocolate could be used to relieve the attack of a demon. But now it seems that this is not the case, because it is not a demon, or rather, it is not a demon from the movie or novel. They are just monsters with similar appearances that also affect mental power or life force.

Cheng stared longingly at the young man. Seeing that he had immediately regained his strength, he turned around to go back to the staff lounge to get his bag and phone, but his arm was grabbed and a chocolate was stuffed into his mouth.

The little girl covered her bulging mouth, stared wide-eyed in surprise, and turned around to ask silently.

“The third bite is useless.” Du Jun explained, handing her the remaining two chocolates, then turned and took a bottle of mineral water from the freezer. He scanned the code to pay, and this time the receipt showed—ordinary product, one bottle a day to meet daily hydration needs.

Furthermore, there was no notification of points being deducted.

As soon as Du Jun unscrewed the bottle cap, his gaze was drawn to an empty beverage compartment in the freezer. Strangely, a bottle of mineral water had appeared out of nowhere there. He took it out and compared the two bottles, finding that their product QR codes were exactly the same.

It seems that the food and water that sustain their normal lives are automatically replenished without them having to pay any price, such as points.

The boy scanned the code and ordered another hamburger.

It's an ordinary product; a bite when you're hungry will definitely satisfy your cravings.

On the shelf, the hamburger wrapper gradually takes shape...
