Chapter 6
"What's with that look? I'm just a little fan of Xixi right now, but you can't bully me like that."
[God damn face powder, hahaha, contestant Shi, light a fire on their heads and scare them to death.]
[Um, aren't you curious about the non-humans Shi Buxi mentioned? The non-humans on Blue Planet are only zombies, right?]
[Hehe, you're just trying to attract attention. Lu Feng, with his 2S level of mental power, didn't even sense the presence of zombies. How did he, a person without mental power, know about this?]
"Because there is corpse qi." Shi Buyi looked at the live broadcast room and said seriously.
"What is corpse qi? Does it mean they are dead? If they are already dead, why are they still moving?" Zong Ziyu walked up to Shi Buyi and asked, his expression a little puzzled, no longer as gentle as before, as if he was questioning, or just confused.
"Corpse Qi is the earthy, decaying, and yin energy emitted by a dead body. As for its movement, it's due to absorbing the yin energy and being reborn after death." This was what Shi Bushi's master taught him when he was learning Taoism, but he was referring to zombies. However, zombies had been completely eradicated by the founding of China, so he had never seen one.
Zong Ziyu looked at the calm and composed young man in front of him with an inquiring gaze. His eyes were pure and fearless, as if everything he said was true, leaving him unable to refute it for a moment.
[Pfft, haha, that sounds really professional. Is Shi Xiao a medical student?]
Any medical student who dares to say that "corpses absorb Yin Qi and regenerate after death" will be expelled from the school.
[Earlier, he specifically mentioned something about a non-human being scaring Zi Jin, and now he's talking about corpse qi and playing tricks.]
[Uh, is he trying to find another way to become famous? ]
[I'll take a stab first. I don't know why, but I always feel like this little player will surprise me.]
"Supplies are being distributed." Jian Xiaonan had been paying attention to the conversation, and upon hearing the sarcasm from the audience, she immediately stepped over to interrupt. Having been in the entertainment industry for a long time and possessing her fair share of haters, she had long since become immune to malicious speculation, but she couldn't bear to see a young man suffer this.
"Yes, let's get the supplies first. We have to leave early tomorrow." Zong Ziyu's smile returned to his face, and he said to Shi Buyi in a friendly manner, "Xiaoxi, you can take your little panda cup back now."
Shi Buxi responded, looked at Jian Xiaonan, reached into his bag, and took out a talisman wrapped in a lucky bag. He handed it to Jian Xiaonan and said, "This is for you."
"Oh, I thought I was the only one to get a lucky bag. That special treat is gone." Zong Ziyu saw his movements and laughed. Was this kid being given a lucky bag as a token of goodwill? Interesting, but he'd have to wait and see. He couldn't believe this kid had no backup plan and just ran off to a planet full of zombies.
"Haha, narcissism is a problem, it needs to be treated." Jian Xiaonan complained. He reached out to take Shi Buxi's lucky bag and solemnly put it in his chest pocket. He looked at Shi Buxi, his eyes fell on the round little tuft on his head. He inexplicably wanted to pinch it, but finally resisted and smiled, "Thank you, little friend."
"You're welcome," Shi Buyi replied with a smile. Master had said that between people, there should be give and take. Jian Xiaonan had come over to talk to him about distributing supplies, presumably to interrupt some viewers in the livestream. She had helped him, so naturally, he had to repay her.
After the three of them finished talking, they walked towards the shelves.
At this time, all the contestants gathered together. The first three teams said that they would no longer take food, but only take some daily necessities and divide the tents. However, since four people were eliminated before, there were four extra tents out of the twenty sets. Everyone wanted these four tents, so they finally decided to draw lots.
The draw was conducted using a terminal game, and the prizes were ultimately distributed to Feng Shen, Cheng Sina, Jian Xiaonan, and Shi Buxi. Suddenly, everyone looked at Shi Buxi, some with a hint of predatory intent.
Many warmongers in the live broadcast room cheered and shouted "Fight, fight". They came to watch "Survival" to see violence and blood, but until now it has been peaceful and nothing has happened. They all felt a little bored for a while.
I bet that Shi Buxi will hand it over.
[Similarly, Cheng Zijin and Ning Lu's gazes were too terrifying. If they were smart, they would definitely show their goodwill, especially since Shi Buyi had no mental strength.]
The audience placed their bets, and then those who were waiting for Shi Buyi to show his goodwill saw him ignore the aggressive looks, walk to the tent and pick up two.
Shi Buxi shook it and found it was quite light. The size was about the same as the folding umbrella I used to have. I could feel the frame inside. I just didn't know what it would be like when it was opened. I wondered if it could withstand the wind.
[Oh my god, Shi Buxi is such a bad person! ]
[If he shows his goodwill and offers his tent now, maybe someone will lend a hand and save his life when he encounters danger. Now, haha!]
[Good job, Xiao Xixi! Who wants to hand over the tent? Just keep it.]
[That's right, I won it based on my own ability, why should I show off to others? ]
The barrage playback in Shi Buxi's live broadcast room was turned on, and the system would randomly select some barrages to play. The audience's straightforward guesses made those who were a little skeptical blush. They glared at Shi Buxi angrily, but could do nothing and say nothing.
Wait a little longer, when he really encounters zombies, he will cry.
After dividing the tents, the next few people divided the food and toiletries, and then began to move things into the car, preparing to set off early the next morning. Their next step was to find weapons.
This one can’t be given away, first come first served.
"Without a car, can we move so many things?" Cheng Zijin asked sarcastically when passing by Shi Buyi.
"Sure." Shi Buyi seemed not to hear his sarcasm and responded very seriously.
[Haha, I just love the way the little contestant refutes with such an innocent look on his face, making the other person feel like a fool.]
Cheng Zijin felt bored and heard the audience's laughter. His face turned dark and he turned away with a pout.
Because the second floor was not big, everyone prepared to sleep in tents in the lobby on the first floor. Everyone left quickly, leaving Shi Buxi squatting on the ground, looking worriedly at the things he had been given.
Everything else is fine, but food is something you absolutely cannot give up.
As expected, he still wanted to catch a zombie to drive for him, but he didn't know if he could meet one.
[Xiao Xixi, there aren't many people here, let's go downstairs!]
"No, I have to come up later." Shi Buyi replied.
【Uh, why? 】
"It's raining." Shi Buxi uttered two words.
【Xiao Xixi is saying something I don’t understand again.】
[Contestant Shi, you have too much stuff and no car. Why don't you just pick out the essentials and take them with you?]
[No, you don't find it strange. Forget about the other things, why did Shi Buxi bring pots and bowls?]
[Isn't the production crew the weirdest thing? They only kept packaged food, but also put in pots, bowls, knives, and other things.]
"Contestant Shi, you're escaping the apocalypse right now. Shouldn't you just grab packaged food like them?"
"But I read in the literature that after three thousand years, the ecology of Blue Planet has recovered quite a bit, with pheasants and ducks now showing up," Shi Buyi said. They'd agreed to survive, so the production team might not prepare the same food for them later on. He was just being prepared.
“Crash!”
While Shi Buxi was talking to the audience, heavy rain began to fall outside. As the windows of the hall were broken, the rain was quickly blown in by the strong wind, soaking the surrounding area. Only the space in the middle was left, which was unable to accommodate more than a dozen tents, so some people had to return to the second floor.
"Did you know it was going to rain?" Zong Ziyu brushed his wet hair and walked over to Shi Buyi, taking out a towel to wipe it. He had just been sorting things by the car when the rain came pouring down on him.
"Yeah!" Shi Buxi responded.
"Is it true?" Zong Ziyu asked casually, but he didn't expect Shi Buxi to really agree.
【Haha, really, we will testify.】
[Damn, I'm suddenly a little excited. What's going on? ]
Zong Ziyu heard what was said in the live broadcast room and looked at Shi Buyi suspiciously. He thought for a while but couldn't come up with a conclusion. Finally, he thought that maybe he had checked the weather forecast.
After all the hard work, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening. Everyone chose a spot, opened their tents and went to sleep.
Shi Buxi quietly observed how everyone was doing it and found that this tent looked small, but it was actually very large when opened, and the frame connected together after it was opened was very strong. Because the ground was hard, the four corners of the tent were not nailed to the ground, but sucked in, making it very stable.
"It's worthy of being the interstellar age with advanced technology." Shi Buyi murmured.
【Ah, what are you talking about again? 】
【I found that the young contestant likes to talk alone.】
Shi Buyi nodded when he heard this. When he lived in the mountains with his master, he would occasionally come down. When he was alone, he would talk to the sky, the earth, the wind, and the birds. Sometimes, when his master was away for too long, he would even try to summon the Grand Master to speak to him. In the end, he didn't have enough power to summon him, and when his master came back, he found out and got a spanking.
"We need to turn off the sound. Sorry to bother the staff." Shi Buxi sat cross-legged in the tent and said to the camera flying in the air.
Staff: [Good night! Also, you can use the terminal to bind this camera and control it to turn off the sound.]
Shi Buxi's eyes lit up, but he didn't even know it.
Finally, with the help of the staff, Shi Buxi successfully shut up the live broadcast room.
Audience: [You didn’t even ask us.]
The camera just turned off the sound but continued to record.
Shi Buxi stuck his head out of the tent, looked up at the dark floor above, then retracted it after a moment, lay down in the tent and pulled the quilt over him.
The soft pillows, cushions and fragrant quilts are so comfortable.
Shi Buxi felt that in addition to the food, he had to take these things with him as well.
[Are you asleep already? What about us?]
[It's said to be a 24-hour live broadcast, but we, the audience, are the only ones watching it 24 hours a day!]
[I need to sleep, but you don’t need to sleep? ]
【It is daytime on my planet now. 】
[Aside from Shi Buxi drawing talismans today, everything else was pretty boring. I hope to see zombies tomorrow.]
Speaking of drawing talismans, I thought of those strange characters. I went to the Star Network to ask if anyone knew them.
The live broadcast room became less and less crowded as the players fell asleep.
Time passed little by little, the night grew deeper, the rain outside became heavier, and lightning flashed from time to time.
There were still many people in the live broadcast room who were bored and had nothing to do. They kept the live broadcast room open, took a look from time to time, and talked about the strange words written by Shi Buxi. Suddenly...
[Just now, was I seeing things? ]
[I, I seemed to see it too. When the lightning flashed by, I seemed to see someone on the fifth floor.]
[Ahhhh, it's the middle of the night here, don't scare me.]
[Really? I saw it too! Ahhhhhh! Help! There are zombies! Someone, wake them up!]
[Oh my god, they are so careless. There is no one on guard.]
【Did I see it wrongly? 】
[Ahhh… zombies… zombies… corpses…]
The audience in the live broadcast room suddenly widened their eyes and looked at the figure walking out of the darkness in horror. Their voices were stuck in their throats and they could only make intermittent sounds of fear.
A thought came to my mind: it’s over, I’m going to be eaten.
