Chapter 227 Why Are You Not Laughing?
Although the guild competition is difficult for Jian Yue, it is actually not that worrying.
Soon, Aya acted quickly as if she was afraid that he would run away. Not only did she organize the team members, but most of them were people Jian Yue was familiar with.
Tiantian, Li Lele, Zhang Chong, Jian Yue, Aya, Li Meng.
Originally, Li Meng said that she couldn't go in because she couldn't see, but Li Lele said that she could use cards to heal her in the copy, and with Aya's visual props, she could barely get through.
Another reason why everyone agreed was that each team in this guild competition was given a waiver quota. If a player could not hold on in the dungeon, they could use the waiver quota to teleport the player out of the dungeon. Li Meng had always been upset about her brother's death, so everyone was willing to give her a chance in this dungeon.
As for Zhang Chong, Jian Yue really hadn't seen him for a long time.
Zhang Chong said: "Since the Wanfu Village script was separated from you, I have been looking for my sister everywhere but couldn't find her. I now plan to improve my abilities first and then look for her. But I really want to thank you, Butler Wang. If you hadn't saved me at that time, I would have been bitten to death by the mountain beast. Don't worry, I will protect you even if I die in this guild competition!"
Jian Yue smiled and said, "Just protect yourself."
Zhang Chong was somewhat touched. Before he could say anything, Jian Yue said, "Otherwise, I may not be able to save you every time."
Zhang Chong: “…”
Who taught you to be so encouraging, Butler Wang!!!
Everyone was old acquaintances, so they saved a lot of time in getting used to each other, and they just rested in the remaining days.
Jian Yue didn't really need to, he didn't tell anyone. Ever since he came out of the copy, he couldn't sleep anymore. During the days and nights in the imperial city, he had gotten used to having someone by his side. When he closed his eyes, he would think of Xiaoyu's eyes. He held his hand and said, don't leave him. He kissed his eyebrows and said, they want to be together in the next life.
Sometimes he would even dream of lotus flowers and plum blossoms blooming behind bamboo forests. When he woke up, he always felt lost and extremely painful.
Missing you is like running water that almost drowns you.
Every time he came out of the copy, his love for him grew deeper, just like a surging tide that almost drowned him to suffocation. He began to be afraid to fall asleep, because the feeling of loneliness every time he woke up made it hard to breathe. He began to stare blankly under the big tree at the door, watching the blooming lotus flowers swaying in the wind on the river not far away.
Sometimes I can sit there for a whole day.
He began to recall the past, when every day was very peaceful, and the days when he got together with good friends seemed like a dream, getting farther and farther away from him.
Until the day when the guild competition finally started.
Everyone gathered in the hall. This time the hall was very lively. People from various guilds came. There were many people gathered here. Someone not far away shouted, "People from the Emperor Guild are here!"
Jian Yue and others turned around.
I saw several tall people walking in front, with a strong momentum. The man standing in the front was very tall, with a long scar on his face, expressionless and very serious. Someone stood there without reacting, and his voice was a little impatient: "You are blocking my way."
The person behind him immediately said, "You are looking for death. You are blocking our president's way. Don't you have eyes?"
The Imperial Guild has absolute say.
The tasker was frightened and said tremblingly: "I didn't pay attention. I was just scared silly. I'm sorry..."
Gao Fei stopped his men and said, "Forget it, this kind of person is not worth bothering with."
His condescending eyes and cold words were so cold that Jian Yue felt like she had never known him.
A short boy in sportswear came over from a distance. He casually walked in front of the group of people from the Emperor Guild and said with a smile, "Hey, President Gao, you are bullying people here again so early in the morning. You haven't changed after all this time!"
Gao Fei glanced over and saw a thin boy who was only as tall as his chest. Although he was not tall, he was very handsome. He was wearing a colorful sports shirt, which looked very out of place. Gao Fei always hated people who came to provoke directly. When his eyes fell on the person in front of him, he rarely stayed for a while, and after a long time, he said: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Little Leo said: "If I see it, it has something to do with me. This hall is so big, there are paths everywhere, how come you can walk but others can't? Oh, little sister, don't cry, your crying makes me sad..."
Gao Fei frowned in disgust.
The person behind him said, "Li Yun, don't look for trouble. If you want to die, just say so! Don't think that you can be fine just because you went through a dungeon with our president. If you dare to be so rude again, I will still deal with you."
Little Li, who was just smiling like a dandy, said slowly, "Oh, I'm so scared... Are you saying I'm meddling in other people's business?"
In just a moment, no one saw how he did it, a knife was placed on the man's neck, and Little Leo's voice was cold: "Did I talk to you?"
The whole hall suddenly became chaotic.
The man being held at knifepoint was so frightened that he shouted, "President! Save me!"
Gao Fei's eyes were stern, and he said, "Xiao Li! This is the lobby. If you dare to hurt anyone, you will be disqualified from the guild competition!"
Little Leo smiled and said, "So what?"
How could the other members of the Emperor's Guild stand being provoked like this in the hall? When they were about to fight with swords, a strong laugh suddenly came from not far away: "Hahahaha, it's really lively. I came late. Why are you fighting? Brother, look quickly. I said there would be something exciting here, right?"
The scholar gave him a speechless look: "Do you have to shout into my ear? I'm not deaf yet."
The younger brother smiled innocently and said, "I'm sorry, I haven't gotten used to it yet. That's exactly what you had to say when you were old and deaf!"
The scholar rolled his eyes at him speechlessly.
Jian Yue retracted the foot that was about to step forward.
Aya whispered, "Things in these big guilds are very messy, do you want to get involved?"
Jian Yue shook his head and said, "Not interested."
Naturally, he had no interest in the struggles between the big guilds. He just subconsciously didn't want to see his former friends falling out and arguing, so he took a step forward subconsciously.
Just as everyone was talking, the system panel finally refreshed, and a mechanical voice rang out throughout the hall: "The Guild Tournament has entered the countdown stage. All players, please be ready and wear your ID number tags. After entering the confirmation, the transmission will begin."
A transmission tag with their ID number appeared in front of everyone.
Jian Yue took his share and clicked confirm. The system panel was transmitted after everyone's formal confirmation. Almost everyone's eyes changed. Even Jian Yue's consciousness seemed to be pulled away and he fell into a brief coma.
The dizziness from entering the dungeon slowly disappeared.
The hall was brightly lit the previous second, but the next second, when Jian Yue opened his eyes again, he saw a shabby room. The wallpaper in this room was bright red, and at first glance, it seemed like bright red blood was flowing down. The lights on the ceiling were flickering, as if they would close in the next second. The windows were sealed tightly, without any gaps.
Jian Yue slowly sat up from the big bed, a little confused. Where was this?
Why didn’t the system panel appear?
What about the mission?
Normally, you should be able to receive tasks after entering the dungeon, but this time I didn't.
There was a loud quarrel outside:
"I told you not to come but you insisted on coming!"
"Now we're all dead!"
"Wuwuwu, what should I do?"
"Wait to die! Now we can only wait to die!"
The quarrel could be heard through the door, and Jian Yue felt his ears buzzing, but he didn't hear any useful information after listening for a long time. He opened the door and walked out, and found that the corridor was also covered with crimson carpet, the walls were covered with mottled wallpaper, and the paintings were half hung on the wall, with traces of blood splashed on them.
Jian Yue walked over slowly, he got closer and smelled it, it was blood that had just dried for less than 48 hours, it was fresh, and it was human blood.
There may have been a case here, and it may be a murder case.
Jian Yue narrowed his eyes slightly. There were many rooms with closed doors on this floor. Not far away was a narrow living room. Strangely, the windows of the living room were also tightly closed, and even blocked by cabinets, as if they were afraid of someone escaping or coming in from outside.
He did not try to hide the noise, and everyone in the living room looked over at him.
There were mostly unfamiliar faces in the living room.
There were also familiar faces. Jian Yue saw Tiantian, Li Meng and Li Lele coming out of other rooms. It seemed that they had also successfully entered the copy.
The entire dim living room was lit by candles, and the lights above were dim, making everyone's face look distorted and terrifying.
The hedgehog-haired man standing in the living room saw Jian Yue for the first time and started to curse: "Sleep, sleep, sleep, all you know is sleep. It's still late now, and you still can't sleep? If it weren't for you, would we have ended up like this?"
Jian Yue raised his hand and pointed at himself with some confusion.
who?
Him?
Confusion was written all over his face.
The live broadcast room was also opened, and the audience in the live broadcast room laughed when they saw his confused look:
"Hahaha, Steward Wang is still out of the situation."
"Steady performance!"
"This is hell from the start!"
"These NPCs have a high hatred towards him, which is not a good thing!"
Jian Yue also realized this, especially when the system was still prompting his safety value to decrease. Now, out of sight of others, his system panel kept popping up:
"Current safety value 25%"
"Current safety value 20%"
"The current safety value is 15%, which has fallen below the safety line. Please find a way to increase the safety value immediately. Once the safety value reaches zero, you will be wiped out by the copy!"
Jian Yue's eyes met those of several people in the living room. Under the candlelight, everyone looked at him with hatred. He knew that these people's dissatisfaction with him was not just lip service, and they might even really kill him!
The people in front of him were wearing a simple T-shirt and shorts, and the girl was wearing a skirt. It should be a copy with a modern background. If it was a modern background, according to common sense, modern people would not kill people easily, but the reactions of these people were obviously wrong, and they might have even killed people before he came over.
The situation is not good, but the most crucial thing is that he doesn’t even know where this is, what copy this is, and what exactly happened here!
The safety value is still decreasing, and every word he says next may provoke them to kill themselves!
"It has already happened." Jian Yue pushed his glasses. He did not rush to quibble, but instead followed their words and said, "I am willing to make amends, but you should at least give me a chance."
The room was silent for a moment.
When Jian Yue saw that they were silent, he walked over and said, "Being angry alone won't solve the problem, right? Let's sit down and have a good chat!"
Originally, there should be nothing wrong with this statement, and in theory it should be able to stabilize talents.
result……
Everyone was silent for a moment, and the big man in the lead angrily pounded the table and said, "What problem can this solve? You didn't leave yesterday when you could have, and now we can't leave even if we want to! Look, we can't even open the door!"
Jian Yue just wanted to appease them, so he smiled and said, "I see the door is right there, how can we not get out? Everyone calm down first, I'll go open the door."
He walked to the door and opened it. Just as he was about to speak, the smile on his face froze.
The corridor outside was littered with bodies.
Broken hands and legs were everywhere, blood was everywhere on the walls and railings, and not far away there were a few people wandering around, walking stiffly and slowly, with their flesh and blood rotting, gnawing on the corpses on the ground. When they heard Jian Yue's voice, they suddenly raised their heads. Although there was no flesh and blood in their eye sockets, they could quickly find the source of the sound, and let out a howl like a wild animal and rushed over!
"Bang!"
With a bang, Jian Yue slammed the door shut with an expressionless face.
Everyone saw that the man who had been calm just now took a deep breath after the door closed, then patted his chest with a pale face and said, "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to death..."
Everyone: “…”
Jian Yue asked: "What is that?"
As soon as the words fell, the old radio not far away seemed to have suddenly recovered some signal and issued a broken voice: "So far, this station has received the latest news. The new zombie virus that broke out in City A has spread rapidly. The southern part of the city has been completely occupied. Citizens who are able to survive, please take the initiative to go to the H District Safe Base for refuge. The rest of the citizens can hang red canvas on the glass and wait for rescue. Please note that the current zombie group is expanding, and their weakness is..."
When it came to the crucial moment, the cash register got stuck and had no signal.
The tall guy slapped the radio in anger and said, "What a piece of crap!!"
Seeing that he was about to smash the radio, Jian Yue could only say, "Brother, why don't you stop hitting it? If you continue to hit it, it won't be a broken thing anymore."
The tall man asked, "What is that?"
Jian Yue said: "It's a dead thing."
The tall guy: “…”
He began to howl angrily again, and the others quickly grabbed him.
“Forget it.” The woman in the red dress cried, “At least now we know that someone from the base will come to rescue us. Isn’t this a good thing? Let’s go hang up the red canvas now.”
They started to get busy.
The tall man finally calmed down. He glared at Jian Yue fiercely and said, "You'd better take care of yourself!"
Jian Yue: "Okay."
The tall guy: “…”
Does this guy even know what a threat is?
The people in the room became busy again. When they learned about the zombie world, Jian Yue's system panel finally refreshed:
"Instance name: [Zombie King, Don't Chase Me]
Player identity: [Strong Vase King]
This instance's mission: Please find the antidote to the new virus and bring the murderer behind the scenes to justice."
Jian Yue was shocked!
It was indeed a guild competition task, to find the antidote to the loss virus, how was this different from fighting the zombie king? Was it really reasonable for such a task to fall on a straw bag vase Xiao Wang?
Just as he was thinking about it, Tiantian and others came over from behind and whispered, "Butler Wang, what should we do now? We don't know where Sister Aya and the others are."
Jian Yue thought for a moment and said, "Is he on this floor?"
Normally, teammates wouldn't let you leave too far in a guild competition. He remembered what Aya said.
Tiantian said: "I don't know. Many doors here are tightly locked, and those people... they don't let us get close. Do you think Sister Aya and Zhang Chong will be locked up?"
Jian Yue thought of the bloodstains on the corridor and said, "I'll find a chance tonight to open all the locked doors and see for myself. Li Meng, your eyesight is not good, so don't go. Let Tiantian and Li Lele go with me."
Tiantian and the other person nodded quickly.
Everyone standing here could still hear the sound of a security door being banged not far away. They also heard waves of roars from people who had surrounded them from outside at some point in time, which were endless and quite creepy.
The danger level of this world is no less than that of the S-level copy.
Tiantian said with some fear: "I don't know if what was said on the radio that someone will come to rescue us is true. We won't be trapped here to death, right? We can't move even a step before the guild competition even starts?"
Li Lele also has his concerns. He is more thoughtful. "And we don't know how contagious this zombie virus is. Is it through the air or the blood? If it's through the blood, it's fine. If it's through the air, it's bad. Especially since I don't know how long the security door of this gate can last."
Jian Yue listened to them talking without interrupting, and neither he nor Li Meng spoke.
After the two men finished speaking, Li Meng said, "Actually, these are not the most urgent issues right now."
She looked at Jian Yue.
Jian Yue also nodded. He knew that Li Meng must have the same idea as him. Under the gaze of others, Jian Yue slowly said, "Water and food. I haven't seen anything to eat since I came out of the room just now."
Everyone felt a chill.
Tiantian hurriedly opened the mall, but found that the system had already closed the food area of the mall, and they couldn't even exchange a little water. Normally, other copies were allowed, but the system seemed to be deliberately against them and closed the exchange area.
It would be fine if a person didn’t eat or drink for a day, but what if it lasted forever?
Li Lele hesitated and said, "I don't know if they have any left. Will they share it with us?"
Jian Yue said: "You will know after observing it."
And the fact proved that things were indeed developing towards the worst outcome. For a whole day, that group of people should have been the guests of this restaurant. They divided some water and food among themselves and did not give any to Jian Yue and others.
By the evening, the extreme lack of water had made people feel uncomfortable.
There was no more news on the radio, and the so-called rescue was nowhere in sight.
Especially at night, when others took things out of the locked cabinets, they had to share them. The tall man took the lead in distributing things. Everyone got a bottle of water and bread. In fact, there was still water in the faucet, although the water flow was relatively small, but there was still water. The only faucet with water was guarded by the tall man in the kitchen, not allowing Jian Yue and others to approach.
They didn't talk at noon, but now Jian Yue came over from the door and said to the people in the living room, "Sorry to bother you."
Everyone looked up at him.
Jian Yue said: "I found that the mineral water in my room is missing. Do you have any clues?"
The tall man asked impatiently, "What does it have to do with us?"
Jian Yue pointed to the bottle of water in his hand, which had the sign of 301 engraved on it, which matched the sign on his room. He said, "This is my water. What does it have to do with me?"
In fact, Jian Yue noticed the problem with the water bottles at noon. It seemed that the system should have allocated water and resources to everyone, but before they woke up, these things were taken away by these people in advance. This is how the end of the world is. People will naturally start fighting for survival.
When he finished speaking, there was silence all around.
The tall man handed the bottle of water to the woman in the red skirt and said, "Who said it was yours? I said it was mine, so what can you do about it? You little white face, you still think you are a young master? To tell you the truth, I have disliked you since school. Now is the end of the world, your Wang family is probably ruined a long time ago. This water is given to you by your hotel. What do you think? You were very powerful before, but now I have the final say here!"
As he spoke, he handed the water in his hand directly to the woman in the red dress beside him.
The woman in the red dress took the water and drank a sip, then smiled and said, "Brother Liu is right. Young Master, I advise you to wake up early. Now is not the time for you to show off. You want to drink water, but I won't give it to you even if I pour it out. Anyway, we still have a tap, and the water is endless..."
Her attitude was quite arrogant, especially because the tall Liu brother was next to her, and she was smiling even more proudly.
Just as they were laughing, Jian Yue only saw a flash of golden light passing by——
【Eight Triggers】:
[Gossip: The latest news is that all tap water in the city has just been announced to be completely stopped. The bottle of mineral water that the woman in the red skirt just poured was their last one!!]
【Cooling time 12 hours】
After the gossip was spread, everything became quiet.
The red-dressed woman's smug smile froze on her face. Brother Liu, who was holding her and laughing, saw that she suddenly froze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why aren't you smiling?"
