Lin Xiaoxiao woke up from a hardworking office worker to a rich second generation in another world. She thought her wonderful life was about to begin.
However, before her new life arrived, it...
"Listen up, everyone. I'm sure you've all seen the mission: we need to make five vials of serum and escape from here. I think making the serum will definitely require electricity, and I'm an engineer, so I can handle the power restoration. My teammates and I are all escape enthusiasts, so teaming up with us will increase our chances of success. Anyone willing to team up can join us, and of course, it would be even better if a medic could join us."
The people below whispered among themselves, "It's Ivan! That million-dollar adventure blogger. The guys behind him all look like bloggers. Are they teaming up? Aren't they afraid of fakes infiltrating? What do we do?"
After Ivan finished speaking, he smiled and looked at everyone. The people next to him were his colleagues whom he had met before coming. Although he knew that 20 out of the 100 people were fake, no one wanted to be eliminated in the elimination rounds. Therefore, they could only have an advantage over those skilled individuals by sticking together.
Zhang Nan seemed somewhat tempted and eager to join Ivan's team. "Wang Quan, let's join Ivan. That way, we'll definitely survive to the end and make it to the finals."
Wang Quan's body stiffened involuntarily for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Look at all those people crowding around, including a doctor. We don't have any special status, so we probably have no chance."
Wang Quan thought to himself, "If that's the case, Zhang Nan definitely won't pull me over. Then, when the two of them are exploring, I can take the opportunity to infect Zhang Nan."
Zhang Nan seemed to sigh in relief, "Then it's just the two of us, my dear roommate."
Before Wang Quan could respond, the loudspeaker in the scene suddenly announced that he had been eliminated.
"Zhang San is eliminated! Li Si is eliminated!..."
After more than a dozen names were announced, the loudspeaker finally quieted down.
But the crowd was in chaos, with everyone trying to keep their distance from others, and the eliminated contestants were so emotional that they couldn't believe it.
"Oh, I'm eliminated? Did you just touch my bracelet?"
The person he was questioning quickly waved his hands, "It wasn't me..." Then he pointed to another person, "It was him, I saw it just now, he touched your bracelet when everyone gathered around. He's definitely a fake!"
A hollow circle instantly formed around the accused suspect, who panicked and said, "It wasn't me! I didn't touch you! He's lying! He's trying to frame me!"
At this moment, another hollow circle formed around the other person, connecting with another hollow circle. A hollow area also formed between the two people. Everyone else around them were vigilantly holding the bracelets on their wrists, afraid of being infected by the opportunity.
As the two sides remained deadlocked, another person in the crowd screamed, "Why has my bracelet turned yellow?! I'm infected! Is there a doctor? Who is a doctor? Can they help me get rid of the infection?"
At this point, others also checked their bracelets. "Mine has turned yellow too!" "Who's the doctor? Help me get rid of it. Cash payment outside, 10,000 per time."
Of course, most people were not infected and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, gripping the bracelets even more cautiously.
Ivan frowned deeply. He hadn't expected the fake humans to act so quickly. With so many people around, he couldn't stay there any longer and needed to get to the hospital as soon as possible.
"Let's go, let's not linger here any longer."
Ivan led the way, then suddenly stopped, turned to his teammates, and said seriously, “We’re ten people divided into pairs, looking after each other. The doctor will be with me. Everyone should keep an eye on their wristbands. When searching for evidence, the two of you must stay in each other’s sight.”
Ivan looked at the five teams, his brow relaxing slightly. The earlier chaos had somewhat damaged the trust in this newly formed team, which had no coordination whatsoever. He could only try his best to get everyone to cooperate.
Wang Quan then noticed that there seemed to be a fake person among Ivan's team who entered the building first, but he didn't know who it was.
"Are you checking if you're infected?"
Wang Quan's hair stood on end, and he quickly lowered his arm. "Yes, let's check the insurance."
Admiration appeared in Zhang Nan's beautiful, innocent eyes. "That makes sense. I'll take a look too. Hmm, I haven't been infected yet."
Wang Quan interrupted Zhang Nan, fearing she might overthink it, saying, "Let's hurry into the hospital and investigate."
Upon receiving Zhang Nan's affirmative reply, Wang Quan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He and Zhang Nan were college roommates. They were both majoring in chemistry. Zhang Nan was not in the same major as the other three. It was because there was one extra person in the dormitory for computer science students that they were assigned to, so Zhang Nan became their roommate.
When Wang Quan saw the 50 million yuan prize money during the registration process, he was tempted. He thought he should register first, and if he succeeded, he would be financially independent in the future. However, he also wanted to get his two other roommates from the same major to register together. But one of his roommates was busy doing odd jobs in the lab, and the other was busy preparing for graduate school entrance exams in a different major. He was already disappointed that he had to go alone.
As a result, Zhang Nan, who is usually quiet and reserved, surprisingly said that she wanted to sign up together.
Zhang Nan is beautiful and handsome, on a completely different level from the three rough guys. When she comes home, love letters often fall out of her backpack or laptop bag, unlike the three guys who have been thinking about finding a partner since they entered university, and they still haven't found one even as graduation approaches.
Wang Quan was actually a little resentful. Zhang Nan was just a little fair-skinned, a little bigger in the eyes, and a little taller. He was so thin that he wasn't even half as tall as Wang Quan, and he always had bangs. He never went out and just stayed in his dorm room. He looked like a gloomy and sleazy guy. It was such a waste that so many girls liked him. He was still a single dog just like them.
"Um, can we come with you?"
Wang Quan turned his head and found that it was actually two cute girls. He was a little excited, but he noticed that although they were saying "you guys," their eyes were clearly fixed on Zhang Nan, and they didn't even glance at him. He gritted his teeth and thought, "Hmph, I'll eliminate you both later."
Wang Quan had only said half of his agreement when Zhang Nan interrupted him, "No way! What if you're fakes? Then we'll be eliminated."
The two cute girls blushed deeply and stammered, "We're not fakes, we can swear to God..."
Zhang Nan, who is 1.8 meters tall, leaned back slightly, extended his right index finger, and waved it, saying, "No way."
Wang Quan was about to offer some words of advice when Zhang Nan looked hurt, "I'm only doing this for our own good. If we get eliminated, we'll lose the 50 million yuan prize money. I don't care about myself, but you've already made plans..."
Now that things had come to this, Wang Quan couldn't very well leave the two cute girls behind. He could only feel regret in his heart and wait until he dealt with Zhang Nan before looking for other lone survivors.
