Chapter 678 Hunting Game (Part 1)
Suddenly, many people appeared on the public screen, cursing.
The biogas collector needs to be placed above the swamp. The biogas produced in swamps of different sizes is limited, and once it is collected on the same day, it cannot be collected again.
The refresh time is 24 hours, so the biogas in each swamp is very precious, and everyone is rushing to collect it.
Following cedar wood, biogas is also a new business opportunity, and it is related to house upgrades. There will always be someone willing to take over after the house is sold.
But no matter what, overall, the lives of players in the 001 territory are still fulfilling, and they work hard for their livelihoods from nine to five every day.
But I had delicious breakfast and lunch, had money in my hands, and hoped to buy a new house.
------------------------------------------------------
Game area No. 654738.
A huge hunting game was taking place in this game area. It was the night of November 3rd, and a cold wind was blowing across the vast plain.
"Hurry, catch up with those two. If you kill them, they will drop items. Their houses can be disassembled and the raw materials obtained can be used to build houses."
Five or six people holding lanterns and torches kept chasing them, and the two people in the front supported each other and fled.
"You can't die. Why should they get away with it?"
"What the hell is this mechanism? It's never been said that killing a player can drop gold coins, equipment, or even houses can be decomposed..."
The two of them really couldn't figure it out. Ever since several players upgraded the courtyard house, someone discovered some of the mysteries about the courtyard house.
At the beginning, it was the players who sold the materials who raised the price of bricks and tiles, and the price kept getting higher and higher. When the players couldn't buy many bricks and tiles no matter how hard they tried, some people started to take a different approach.
Kill the players.
They didn't know who started the fight, they only knew that when this happened in the territory, the player who committed the murder was instantly expelled from the territory.
But the dead player's gold coins exploded instantly, and his house did not disappear but was decomposable.
The materials, food, etc. stored in the house's indoor warehouse are at the mercy of others.
Once this incident happened, everyone in the entire territory became insecure.
Those with high combat power began to target the low-level players, trying to strengthen themselves by dividing the little wealth of these players.
At the same time, those who lack gold coins and materials will not be able to help but attack their companions who are also escaping after escaping from the territory.
The hunting operation was vigorous, but without the protection of the territory shield, it was very difficult for these ordinary players to survive outside. It was almost inevitable that they would collapse due to exhaustion and eventually become the property of others.
"There seems to be a swamp ahead. I would rather feed the crocodiles than let them catch me!"
The man looked at his companion, who had wounds on his arms and calves, and the blood bar above his head kept dropping.
His condition was better, but his sense of fullness was also very low. The two of them had run out of food during their escape.
No matter which path you choose, you will die, but feeding the monster at least will not fulfill the enemy's needs.
"We must not let them get what they want, quickly--" Before he could finish his words, an arrow came flying through the air and pierced the lame man's heart in the night.
Before the lame man died, he did not forget to push his partner: "Go quickly, don't let them succeed."
The next second, the living man turned into a pile of equipment and gold coins and fell down. However, maybe because he was too poor, the dropped materials were really nothing good to look at.
It was that bag of rich gold coins, with about 10,000 or 20,000 in it.
Another man also tried to run into the swamp, but he was also badly injured at the last moment. The group of people quickly rushed up and surrounded the man.
The others began to count the gold coins that had been dropped: "A total of thirty-six thousand gold coins, six of us six people each will get six thousand gold coins."
"No problem, as for this..." The leading man in black used the axe in his hand to kill the man with one blow.
But the familiar decomposition did not appear, and there was no gold coin at all.
The six people sat in a circle, staring at the man's body turning into golden light and disappearing. When the cold wind blew away, nothing was left.
"How could this happen? Wouldn't players who are killed during this solar term leave behind gold coins?"
Several people were dumbfounded. Without thinking too much, they divided all the property of another player and then returned to their territory.
The cold wind still blew along the way, and some people began to sneeze one after another.
"Don't catch a cold, or you'll be in so much pain taking medicine."
"That's fine. Forget about taking medicine. Drink the crocodile soup and you won't catch a cold very often."
"Indeed, let's discuss why that person didn't drop any gold coins after his death."
The group returned to the territory and immediately began to speak on the public screen. Currently, there are less than five thousand people alive in this game area.
Among them, the territory named Dark Night has as many as 1,500 players. These players are all hunters, who are the driving force behind the hunting game in the entire game area.
The other two small territories were not much better. One district even chose to assimilate and joined the hunting game.
There is another territory where the local lord died in this incident, and the territory became the property divided up by a group of ungrateful people, which can be said to be a sudden wealth.
He acquired huge wealth overnight, and then frantically purchased materials and equipment, first upgrading his house and then arming himself.
These hunters band together and use their huge financial resources and the best equipment to crush all the players.
Even if you are injured, it is easy to buy medicine and medicinal soup, but it is often difficult for players on the run to buy them.
"Today's situation should be very unusual. Has anyone else encountered this?"
The muscular man in the lead asked with narrowed eyes. There was a big scar on his nose that meandered down from his forehead to under his left eye.
The others, led by the scarred man, scrolled through the public screen for a long time before someone excitedly said, "Boss Qi Yun said he had encountered the same situation!"
"Indeed, it happened not once or twice, but most of them were players who were incompetent and poor and couldn't even afford to eat meat."
"Could it be that the system thinks these people are too poor to deserve gold coins?"
You and I discussed it one after another, but there was no conclusion for a long time.
Soon the scarred man spoke again: "I contacted Qi Yun, he said he was going to do an experiment, we need to help capture some people and send them over alive."
"Then let's rest for a night before taking action. I guarantee we can catch a dozen of them and send them there tomorrow."
"If you ask me, this is a real survival game. It's much more interesting and exciting!"
"Yes, the law of the jungle is the way to survive in the end times. If killing people didn't get you anything, who would be a good person?"
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to live in their own courtyards.
The night was cold and windy, but everyone had drunk the crocodile soup, so the slight cold had no effect on their bodies.
The courtyard is spacious, comfortable and warm. The temperature inside is much higher than outside, so you should be able to fall asleep easily when you lie down on the bed.
But I don’t know why, when night falls, even though I really want to sleep, there’s a feeling of restlessness in my heart that I can’t get rid of, making me restless and unable to fall asleep.
In the end, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well. I didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.
After waking up early in the morning, the big guys went out to look for prey with dark circles under their eyes.
With sufficient supplies, enough food and good equipment, even if the number of players acting as hunters is only around fifteen hundred.
The number is one-third of the fleeing players, but the situation these "prey" need to face is still extremely bad.
Players are constantly being arrested, and on the way to escape, no one knows whether some of them will be stabbed by their close friends at any time.
At this time when everyone was in danger, after a few players killed their friends in exchange for gold coins and materials, this huge group was torn apart and was unable to fight back together.
From nine in the morning to twelve at noon, more than 200 skinny and miserable prey were collected in the Dark Night Territory in a short period of time.
They were tied up and thrown together, and other hunters watched Qi Yun's experiment. Who wouldn't be curious about the pattern of the changes in the solar terms?
Why do most people drop gold coins and materials after death, but a few don’t?
Qi Yun looks to be in his early twenties, not very old, with yellow hair and a rather ruffian air.
"We are all gathered together today, and first of all, I have a few questions to ask."
He opened the booklet in his hand, which recorded some questions he had thought out after a whole night of thinking. As long as the prey were answered according to his questions, the first batch of classification could be completed in the shortest time.
"Go away, we won't answer you!"
"Kill us if you want to. Don't even think about expecting us to cooperate. You're going to kill us anyway. Isn't it enough to just keep killing us for this experiment?"
"Qi Yun is a bastard. It's a pity that the lord trusted you so much at that time, you damned bastard!"
These preys' hatred for Qi Yun was almost maxed out, and they cursed him in every possible way towards that young face.
All kinds of vulgar and obscene words came out of their mouths, their eyes were wide open and they stared at Qi Yun.
What's more, if they were not tied up tightly, they would have stabbed their companions and ended their lives as soon as possible.
It's better than being tortured by Qi Yun.
"You are all tied up here. You don't think there is room for resistance, do you?" Faced with these unpleasant words, Qi Yun just smiled faintly.
On his angelic face was a devilish smile, and his gentle eyes were soaked in the coldness of the coldest days of winter. He only needed to wave his hand and someone would come with bottles of potions and force them into the mouths of these players.
"It is exactly as you said. If I really want to get the experimental results, I just need to kill enough people and I don't need your answers at all. But I really like the way you struggle for life and death under my hands."
After drinking the potion, many people began to twitch all over, their breathing became rapid, and they rolled on the ground with red faces, as if countless insects were gnawing at their tendons, veins, and bone marrow.
"What did you give us...to eat?"
"I feel so bad, so bad..."
"If you want to relieve the discomfort in your body, then answer my questions carefully. The first one is what did you eat during this solar term?"
At the beginning, many players gritted their teeth and refused to answer the questions.
Time passed by minute by minute, Qi Yun was very patient and waited silently.
After about a quarter of an hour, someone finally couldn't hold on any longer and gave a very mediocre answer.
"We can't afford to eat... what good food... the most we can have are crocodile meat and Chanxia lamb."
Qi Yun showed an appreciative smile on his face and applauded the player. Then one of his accomplices understood what he meant and sent a small cup of antidote to the first "prey" who answered.
After drinking the antidote, the man's symptoms were obviously much better and he no longer felt as uncomfortable as before. In such a short period of time, these people were tortured by the poison to the point that their veins were exposed and they were sweating profusely.
"traitor……"
The middle-aged man who had spoken the most powerfully before glared at the player indignantly, but his words were of no avail.
Seeing that this player's condition improved and he was no longer in pain, more players chose to compromise.
"The most abundant meats that are available during this solar term are crocodile meat and mutton, which are relatively cheap and are therefore affordable for us."
"But, but there are people who can't afford it. Their fighting power is low. If they want pine wood, they have to spend a lot of money to buy it. They can just afford steamed buns to fill their stomachs."
From these few words, Qi Yun keenly pieced together the more important information. With sharp eyes, the two men drank the antidote under his command.
At the same time, Qi Yun asked the second question: "If that's the case, who among you has never eaten mutton and crocodile meat?"
"As long as you are willing to speak out, or report someone you know who has never eaten crocodile meat or mutton, as long as the report is successful, you can get the antidote and I won't kill you."
Qi Yun looked at everyone with interest, his eyes jokingly scanning everyone, with anticipation and excitement in his eyes.
What awaits these people is that they will start to fight and kill each other just to survive.
The scene must be wonderful - just like what he had done on Blue Star before, he enjoyed seeing this kind of scene.
Just like when he saw him coming out of the Internet and wanted to get some money to pay for the Internet fee.
When he passed by the home of a newly married couple, he wanted to steal something. Then he saw the wedding photo in the new living room and thought the bride was quite pretty. So he and three other good brothers hid in the house.
Eventually, the couple was tortured to death by the four of them. The most interesting thing is that the wife wanted to save her husband so she allowed them to ravage her.
But the husband wants to keep his wife like a lapdog and let them drive her around.
Of course, none of them survived.
Not long after this case, because of its huge impact, the other three were arrested and sentenced to death.
Only he was lucky enough to encounter the survival game.
