Chapter 50 Platinum Joy Supermarket "Don't move." Shen Su's eyes darkened...
As a fellow veteran player, Mu Zhuo naturally knew Mo Rugui.
Mo Rugui, ranked second on the skill leaderboard, is a tough opponent. No one can gain the upper hand by going head-to-head with Mo Rugui, but he can't kill Mo Rugui either. Mo Rugui is a man of chivalry and loyalty, and he has a bunch of brothers.
If he kills Mo Rugui, those people won't let him off the hook.
However, he doesn't necessarily have to be enemies with Mo Rugui.
Compared to Shi Yuchensu, who are just pretty faces with little gaming experience but good luck, Mo Rugui is a better candidate to utilize.
For safety's sake, Mu Zhu put on a resurrection armor. His other resurrection armor had been destroyed by the sniper, and this was the only one he had left.
At 4:30 a.m., the fighting between NPCs had ended, and corpses lay scattered across the streets, the air thick with the stench of blood.
Almost the instant Mu Zhuo walked out, a tall figure in camouflage with a buzz cut stopped in his tracks.
"who?"
Mu Zhuo walked out with a smile on his face, his attitude quite polite: "Mr. Mo, hello, I am Mu Zhuo. You must have heard of me, Mr. Mo?"
"What is it?" Mo Rugui's face was expressionless, and he did not say whether he knew Mu Zhuo or not.
Mu Zhuo didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "Is Mr. Mo alone? I wonder if Mr. Mo would be interested in finding a temporary partner? I think I'm a good candidate."
Mo Rugui: "I only cooperate with trustworthy people."
Mu Zhuo's face instantly turned ugly, and after a long while he finally spoke: "Mr. Mo, do you mean... to become my enemy?"
"casual."
Mo Rugui ignored Mu Zhuo and turned to leave.
Since viewers in the live stream couldn't see Shi Yu, Shen Su, or Jiang Yan, they had no choice but to watch Mu Zhuo's performance.
Therefore, Mu Zhuo's live stream attracted fans from various groups, and the chat was quite diverse.
Where does Mu Zhuo get his confidence? Shouldn't he consider who he's talking to? He's not qualified to be either a partner or an enemy, is he?
[Hahahaha, I love Mo Rugui's attitude! Well done, master! I'm so happy to see Mu Zhu get humiliated!]
[A common question: When will Mu Zhuo die?]
[One question every hour: When will Yu Yu's wife be released? I really don't want to see that bastard Mu Zhuo anymore.]
On the bright side, although I don't want to see that jerk Mu Zhuo either, maybe he can help us find Shi Yu?
[You're overthinking it. Instead of pinning your hopes on him, it's better to trust the system. I have a feeling the system won't let them lie low until the game ends.]
...
Even without cooperating with Mo Rugui, Mu Zhuo can still run dungeons on his own.
He first went to Platinum Joy Supermarket, but did not see Jiang Yan and the others. Then, instead of waiting for them to come to him as before, he wandered around the city with a gun on his back.
I encountered a lone player on the road and he took him out with a single shot.
Afterwards, Mu Zhuo encountered two more players, two young girls. The one with short hair looked like a college student, while the one with long hair looked older. When they saw him, fear flashed in their eyes, and they involuntarily took a step back, but they did not dare to run away.
Mu Zhuo is not a chivalrous person, nor does he often play the hero and save the damsel in distress.
He raised his sniper rifle and aimed it at the two little girls. Just then, the short-haired girl suddenly shouted in one direction, "Mr. Mo! Help us!"
Mu Zhuo stopped what she was doing and turned around. Mo Rugui was standing at the street corner. Hearing this, he paused for a moment, and then strode over, seemingly ready to get involved in this matter.
"Mr. Mo would rather cooperate with these two defenseless girls than with me?" Mu Zhuo watched as Mo Rugui approached, then walked past him and blocked the two girls' path. Throughout the entire process, he kept his eyes straight ahead and slowly pointed his gun at Mo Rugui. "Mr. Mo should know that my marksmanship is impeccable."
“Let’s have a contest.” Mo Rugui drew his military knife from his waist, his resolute and calm gaze finally landing on Mu Zhuo. “If I win, you let them go; if I lose, you can do whatever you want.”
Mentioning "competition" in a game is actually a bit funny.
Because in the game, there are no winners or losers in the "competition," only life and death.
Mu Zhuo really didn't want to fight Mo Rugui.
He's bad at close combat, while Mo Rugui is a master of close combat.
Mu Zhuo brandished the gun in his hand and said, "I am a firearm, and you are a melee weapon. This is not fair to you."
Mo Rugui: "It doesn't matter."
It seems this "competition" is inevitable.
The two distanced themselves, and Mu Zhuo fired the first shot at Mo Rugui. Mo Rugui swung his arm horizontally, the movement as fast as lightning. The bullet struck the military knife with a clang, and then changed direction and shot into the wall next to him.
There was a bullet hole in the wall, but Mo Rugui's military knife was intact.
Mu Zhuo opened her eyes wide in disbelief, and in that moment of distraction, Mo Rugui was already close by.
Mo Rugui is a straightforward person. When he says he wants to have a match, he means it. Although his moves are fierce, they are not deadly.
"His gun has already claimed more than six hundred lives!" the long-haired girl suddenly spoke, her voice loud and clear, "Once he has accumulated nine hundred and ninety-nine lives, he can kill people with his mind. Mr. Mo, if you show him mercy today, many more players will die by his gun in the future."
The short-haired girl said, "He shot my boyfriend to death! Xiao Cheng was usually quiet and unassuming; he would never provoke anyone. He killed Xiao Cheng for no reason!"
The short-haired girl started sobbing as she spoke, and the long-haired girl hugged her, comforting her, "Don't cry, sweetie, don't cry. Cheng Yuan in heaven wouldn't want to see you cry..."
"Cheng Yuan?" Mo Rugui paused for a moment and asked, "Cheng as in equation, Yuan as in wasteland, born in 1994?"
The short-haired girl's eyes widened: "How did you know?"
Mo Rugui's expression darkened, and when he looked at Mu Zhuo again, his eyes held a hint of murderous intent: "Cheng Yuan was also my brother. I always thought he died in the game."
"That's not true at all!" The short-haired girl wiped away her tears, her words dripping with anguish. "There wasn't actually much danger in that game, and Xiao Cheng didn't have to die! It was Mu Zhuo! He was the one who opened fire with his gun. He not only killed Xiao Cheng, but nearly half the players in that instance died at his hands! He also used items to alter the live stream content, so no one knows the truth to this day!"
“A life for a life, that’s only right.” Mo Rugui’s voice was deep. “If you enjoy judging other people’s life and death so much, you should have thought that one day it would be your turn.”
"Let me judge you today."
Mo Rugui gripped the knife again, this time showing no mercy.
Mu Zhuo was completely overwhelmed and forced to retreat. He didn't even have time to use his escape item. In the end, he had to sacrifice an arm to finally make the teleportation item work.
Mu Zhuo instantly teleported to the suburbs twenty kilometers away.
The system prompted that the injuries were probably too severe.
[The armor covering the wound was broken.]
[Resurrection Armor Uses: 0]
The only remaining piece of armor was also rendered useless.
Mu Zhuo leaned against a big tree and injected himself with three bottles of medicine in one go. He didn't have the strength to fight anymore. It was almost 6 o'clock, so he decided to let the system randomly assign death to the players.
The system favors him.
The "randomness" of left and right will not happen to him.
Six o'clock sharp.
System information popped up—
[The total number of players in instance Heroes is four; therefore, the death penalty will not be applied this time.]
[17 hours and 59 minutes remain until the next instance merge.]
Mu Zhuo was stunned.
Are there only four people left alive in this instance?
Mo Rugui will definitely not die.
So, the two women who were with Mo Rugui died?
Even so, there should still be five people alive, including him, Mo Rugui, Jiang Yan, and the other two.
He did not see Shi Yuchen, Jiang Yan, or the other two along the way.
Could it be that the two women didn't die, and that Jiang Yan and the other two cleared the level?
.
The three of them haven't finished the game yet, but they're almost there.
According to Qin Ke, the instances will be merged again at midnight tonight to determine the final winner, after which they can leave the game.
"Is everyone sleepy?" Qin Ke yawned. His long silver hair was a bit messy from lounging on the sofa for several hours. He ran his fingers through his hair, making it even messier. He said, "There are still more than ten hours until the next merger. Go wash up and get some sleep. You can watch the replay later."
The group watched TV all night and were all tired, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.
Everyone has a single room, so there are no worries.
However, Shi Yu and Shen Su, who stayed in the double room, were different.
The two entered the room one after the other. A double bed was placed in the center of the room. Apart from that, there was only a single sofa and two bedside tables. The number of rooms had increased significantly, but the room size was not very good. There was not even enough floor space left to make a sleeping mat on the floor. In other words, they only had one choice: both of them had to sleep in the bed.
Shi Yu has never shared a bed with anyone before. Although he and Shen Su once shared a room, they never slept in the same bed.
Shi Yu felt a little regretful.
Why did he agree to share a room with Shen Su?
Compared to Shi Yu's discomfort, Chen Su was quite at ease, sitting directly on the bed as soon as he entered the room, just like he was back in his own home.
Whether by accident or design, Shen Su chose a spot near the bathroom, leaving the window seat for Shi Yu.
Shi Yu didn't think much of it. He sat down on the edge of the bed and asked with a puzzled look, "What do you want to tell me?"
Shen Su paused in his act of taking off his clothes. He turned to look at Shi Yu, staring at her with an even more puzzled expression than Shi Yu herself for a few seconds, before asking, "Did I say I was going to tell you anything?"
Shi Yu: "..."
Shen Su tilted his head and pondered for a while, but he really couldn't remember. He said apologetically, "I... I'm probably sleepy. When I'm sleepy, my mind isn't clear, and when my mind isn't clear, my memory gets worse. Did I just tell you what I was going to say?"
The two remained silent for a moment, facing each other.
Shi Yu looked away first: "I must have misunderstood."
Although the bedroom was small, it had a private bathroom. Shi Yu got up and walked towards the bathroom, but stopped after a couple of steps and asked, "Do you want to take a shower first?"
Shen Su waved his hand: "You go first."
When Shi Yu came out of the shower, it was already bright outside. The morning sunlight shone through the glass window and fell on the bed. Although it was a double room, the sheets and blankets were solid colors without any strange patterns.
Shen Su quickly finished his shower and came out.
Shi Yu lay on the bed, not yet asleep. Firstly, the sunlight was too bright, and the sleepiness she was trying to cultivate suddenly disappeared. Secondly, Shi Yu looked to the side, mainly because she was not used to sleeping in the same bed with someone else.
Especially since this person is Shen Su.
Shi Yu wondered if he would still be so upset if it were someone else?
Shi Yu stared blankly at the sunlight outside the window, not noticing that Chen Su had come out, until the curtains were pulled shut with a "whoosh".
The curtains are very effective at blocking light; when drawn, the room is practically as dark as night.
Soon the bedside lamp was turned on, and the dark room was instantly illuminated by warm light.
Shi Yu is not afraid of the dark.
However, I usually leave a small light on when I sleep at home.
He didn't think Shen Su turned on the light because of this; Shen Su was unaware of his habit. So he asked Shen Su, "Are you afraid of the dark?"
Shen Su didn't deny it, and smiled, "Yes, I'm afraid of the dark."
After saying that, the mattress sank in, and he lay down on the other side of the bed. The bed was big enough, because after the two of them lay down, there was still room for another person to lie down in the middle.
"How's your sleeping posture?" Shi Yu suddenly asked.
"Sleeping posture..." Shen Su pondered for a few seconds, "I'm not too sure, after all, I've never slept with anyone else."
Shi Yu: "..."
Both of them were lying flat on their backs. Shi Yu couldn't see Shen Su's expression and didn't know if he was serious or joking.
But whether it was a joke or not, the topic couldn't be explored any further.
Otherwise, this person will become indecent again.
After a while, when there was no movement around, Shi Yu turned her head to look.
Chen Su's sleeping posture is quite good. He lies flat on his back with his head on the pillow, the blanket covering him up to his waist, one hand under the back of his head, and the other hand casually hanging outside the blanket... He falls asleep quite quickly, and is already asleep in no time.
Shi Yu watched Shen Su for a while, and then drowsiness gradually crept in.
He shifted to the side, turned over so his back was to Chen Su, and let himself fall into a deep sleep.
When Shi Yu woke up, she found herself pressed against a warm body.
When he realized what it was, he suddenly opened his eyes, about to confront Shen Su, but then he discovered that Shen Su was indeed a very good sleeper.
Shen Su was still lying flat in the same position as when he fell asleep, with one hand outside the blanket and the other hand... he was using as a pillow. He had somehow fallen asleep and snuggled into the other person's arms, with his hand still on the other person's chest.
Shen Su didn't touch him at all.
Shi Yu: "..."
It took Shi Yu several minutes to accept this fact. Fortunately, Shen Su was still asleep. He could destroy the evidence before Shen Su woke up. He slowly, slowly moved to the side. Halfway there, Shen Su woke up.
Shi Yu looked at Shen Su, and Shen Su looked at Shi Yu.
The two stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Shen Su was probably a little confused by the situation. It took him a while to come to his senses. He looked down and Shi Yu also looked down... Oh, half of his body was still in Shen Su's arms.
“You…” Shi Yu touched her nose, “There were mosquitoes here just now.”
Chen Su looked at him and said, "I see."
Shi Yu quickly got up.
As a result, he tripped over the blanket because he was moving too fast.
She tumbled onto the bed and landed right in Chen Su's arms.
This time, Shen Su did not remain indifferent; he stretched out an arm and put his arm around Shi Yu's waist.
"Be careful, I'm not blaming you." Chen Su's voice drifted from above, his tone carrying three parts reproach and seven parts worry, whether intentional or not, it was hard to tell. "Honestly, it's just that you fell asleep and accidentally snuggled into my arms, resting your head on my arm, and slept in my lap for a while. What's the big deal? Am I the kind of person who's petty and nitpicky? I'm not, I'm..."
"Stop talking."
Shi Yu couldn't stand it anymore and immediately covered Chen Su's mouth with her hand.
The words stopped abruptly as Shi Yu's palm touched Chen Su's lips.
Soft, slightly cool, with warm breath... but not the feeling in my palm right now, but the feeling of lips touching lips not long ago in the hospital recovery room.
Like being electrocuted, Shi Yu abruptly pulled his hand back, trying to get up again, but the hand around his waist suddenly tightened its grip on him.
"Don't move."
Shen Su's eyes darkened for a moment.
Shi Yu also clearly sensed a certain change under the thin blanket.
Afterwards, they got up, got dressed, washed up, and left the bedroom... without exchanging any words.
Not long after Shi Yu and Shen Su got up, Jiang Yan and Lin Fengbai also got up.
Qin Ke sat on the living room sofa with a serious expression: "I have some bad news."
He looked up at the crowd and said, "The system says that the safe house will fail in eight hours due to overload."
