Chapter 182 Selection
Today, while chatting in the lobby, "Everywhere Drifter" found four other players from the same floor to break into the dormitory building together tonight. At 6 PM, the three dormitory buildings merged, and "Everywhere Drifter" was dropped into the 24th-floor corridor.
He contacted four other people, and the five of them arranged to meet at a certain place.
However, Bian Di Piao Ling did not disclose his physical condition, since it was only a temporary collaboration and they might not have any further contact in the future, so there was no need to reveal his physical condition.
The four men had no idea that the man who helped them break down the door was actually a disabled person missing an arm.
This is a world of survival; it's not easy for normal people to live, let alone for people with disabilities.
Upon seeing the empty cuff on the right side of Bian Di Piao Ling's sleeve, the four men's expressions instantly changed, becoming extremely contemptuous, as if they had already decided that Bian Di Piao Ling was a burden and a piece of trash.
When choosing a partner, everyone naturally prefers players with weapons. If someone doesn't have a weapon, it's not cooperation, but rather having a player with a weapon "help" break down the door. Since it's about helping, you need to give the helping player some "benefits" so that someone is willing to take on this difficult task.
The player who was initially called "Falling Everywhere" claimed to have weapons, which is how he managed to team up with four other players who also had weapons. However, these four players have now backed out on the spot.
They all thought that since Bian Di Piao Ling was disabled, it wasn't cooperation, but rather that Bian Di Piao Ling was deceiving them and trying to get them to help him break down the door.
They not only hurled insults at each other, but also tried to steal the low-grade long-handled swords that were scattered all over the place.
Although Bian Di Piao Ling is disabled, he is, after all, a sports student. His physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people, he is stronger, and his reaction is more agile.
Moreover, he has been inspired by Bai Xiao recently and has been constantly training the dexterity of his left hand. Now his left hand is no worse than his right hand.
Although Bian Di Piao Ling can't beat 'upgraded players' like Bai Xiao, he can definitely beat ordinary players, and his weapon has a level, giving him an even greater advantage.
He fought with four people, and although he was injured, he also injured all four of them, who were now hiding and fleeing.
However, he could only break down the door by himself. It was a level 3 gate, and his low-level weapon only dealt 20 damage each time. The opponent's repair station could restore 15% of its health per second.
That means he deals 20 damage per second, and the repair station restores 30 damage per second. He managed to hack until his left arm was numb and lost sensation, but he still couldn't break through the door.
As for asking others for help, that was even more impossible. In other people's eyes, he was a vulnerable person, and he even carried a rudimentary weapon. If he asked others for help, they would look at him like he was prey.
He was isolated and helpless, knowing that he would die after dawn, just like the other players who had failed to break through the gate before him.
He huddled in a corner, squatting there for a very long time, and finally decided to send a farewell message to his friends in the survival world: All Illnesses Cured, Can I Live?, and Wailing Monster.
After he sent the message, the first reply was that all his illnesses had disappeared.
Scattered petals wiped away a tear, and the reply was that all ailments would be cured.
Scattered Everywhere: "I'm sorry, boss, I've let you down. I can't break down the dorm door. I'll die at six o'clock this morning when it's light."
Scattered everywhere: "When I see people on TV in this situation, they tell their friends to forget about them, but I'm different."
Scattered everywhere: "I hope you remember me, don't forget me."
Fluttering Everywhere: "Boss, I've never told you this before, but my parents divorced when I was little. They didn't want me. My grandma raised me. She passed away when I was in college, and I've been all alone ever since, with no one to rely on."
Scattered Everywhere: "I've never had many friends growing up. They mocked me for being a wild child, didn't want to play with me, and even bullied me, but I fought back every time."
Scattered Everywhere: "After I grew up, I was ridiculed and treated as an outcast because of my sexual orientation."
Scattered Everywhere: "No one in this world loves me, no one cares about me, and even if I die, no one may remember me. So I really hope that you, Boss, can remember me and not forget me."
Scattered Everywhere: "Actually, I'm not that afraid of dying. I'm just afraid that if I die, there will be no trace of me, and no one will remember me. I hope that someone can remember me. As long as someone can remember me, that's enough."
While sobbing, he rambled on and on about how no one could be unafraid of death. In fact, he was terrified of dying, but he hoped that his few friends wouldn't be too sad after his death, so he said he wasn't that afraid of dying.
But I hope they remember that he was real, and that everything else he said was also true.
Actually, he had so much more to say, but he only had a few hours left, so he just said whatever came to mind.
Bai Xiao's mind was buzzing. Her eyes were fixed on the messages that were flying everywhere, and her breathing became rapid.
Not long ago, she was secretly pleased that everyone she cared about was alright and hadn't died.
Now they're doing this to her all of a sudden?
Bai Xiao gritted his teeth and unconsciously gripped the elevator card in his hand, the square card digging painfully into him.
She has an elevator card, but can I survive on the 46th floor while others are scattered on the 24th floor? She can't save both of them at the same time.
Can I survive? I'm still waiting for her on the 46th floor. She promised to help me. If she doesn't go to the 46th floor, will I live or die? She can't not go!
But if she went to the 46th floor, then at 6 a.m. today, the people scattered all over the 24th floor would have died!
Bai Xiao had never encountered such a difficult choice before. Looking at the only elevator card in her hand, she didn't know which floor she should go to.
Who should she choose to go to? Can I survive or drift aimlessly?
Which floor is she going to, the 46th or the 24th?
Bai Xiao had guessed before that the game had a team-up mechanism, which was intended to create emotions and bonds between people, give people weaknesses, and make them vulnerable.
But she didn't expect it to happen so soon, so suddenly.
In the forest instance, she let go of the dragonfly monster's leg with one hand, gambling on whether the scythe could embed itself into the dragonfly monster's body. At a height of several thousand meters, she climbed up the scythe. Even under such perilous circumstances, she did not hesitate for a moment.
When faced with pleas for help and insults from strangers, she did not hesitate for a moment, deciding whether to help or not.
She had always been resolute in her choices, but now, faced with two people pleading for help and an elevator card, she hesitated.
Rather than saying she didn't know how to choose, it's more accurate to say she wanted both of them; she wanted them both to live!
But she had to make a choice.
