The commotion during the survivor squad's "pre-battle" mobilization was so loud that even the members of squad 2333, who were closest to them, could faintly hear strange noises coming from above.
Gu Xi looked up with a strange expression, then said to everyone, "What's going on with our neighbors upstairs?"
Not long ago, when the neighbors came back from their outings, they all looked like they'd been beaten up. Then they started wailing and howling, followed by bursts of cheering and excitement. It's so strange, so very strange! Crying and laughing at the same time—could it be some kind of medical episode?
Xu Lulu, who was opening a treasure chest, stopped what she was doing and looked at the camp not far away, guessing: "Could it be that she cried because she couldn't find a treasure chest? And then she cheered herself up, cheered herself up, and tried again later, like that kind of routine?"
Li Ruoyang shook his head and said, "Impossible. Although we picked up a lot of treasure chests, they were too scattered. Each time the treasure chests respawned, we could only pick up half of them at most. Surely the other teams didn't leave empty-handed? Besides, they chose such high positions and didn't have any means of flying, so they could only rely on ropes to climb. They must have been exhausted!"
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, and she immediately took to the air with her bow and arrow, pretending to wander around the area, her purpose being to observe the neighbors' activities.
After circling around, Lin Xiaoxiao landed and said mysteriously, "I think they're like an unorthodox cult!"
Even Lorraine looked at her this time. He had been to the neighbor's territory before, how come he didn't notice?
Lin Xiaoxiao: "I saw one of them acting like a cult leader, raising his arms and giving a speech, while the others looked at you with fervent eyes, like they were brainwashing you. Although I didn't get too close, I heard them saying things like the road is tortuous and we need to overcome difficulties."
Lin Xiaoxiao imitated her neighbors, putting on a serious performance. Her acting was clumsy and comical, but at that moment her performance silenced everyone.
In short, the worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet...
After a moment of silence, Gu Xi struggled to find the right words. "As long as they're happy, that's fine."
As long as they don't provoke the 2333 team, she doesn't care. Although she doesn't understand, she respects all strange ideas.
Others generally shared the same thought as her; that's why they say birds of a feather flock together.
However, they do need to be more careful with their chest collection. This isn't to say they're considering the other teams' best interests, but rather because opening chests is just too painful.
Only the four hardcore gamers are still wandering around outside; the others, who were luckier, were kept behind by Xu Lulu to do the work. Even so, they're constantly repeating the same actions, which is not only tedious and boring but also makes them drowsy. Just now, Lin Xiaoxiao even fell asleep while opening a box—and instantly. Looking at her relaxed demeanor now, it's clear she's not even pretending anymore; she's gone on strike.
Now, they'd rather train their mental strength in their spare time than go out to find boxes, since they'd be responsible for opening them if they brought back a bunch.
As for Gu Xi, who could use her mental powers to open multiple instances, she found it difficult to manipulate objects in multiple instances as well. Before opening the boxes, she had to arrange them in a way that made them easy to open; after opening them, she had to take out the items and then organize them. This whole process was quite troublesome. Especially after she opened a few junk items, the others wouldn't let her open any more.
