"Oh! I forgot to tell you all, there will be consequences for children who don't sleep well, so you'd better be good. Hehehe!"
As the alluring woman's laughter faded, Xu Nian noticed that the surrounding darkness began to distort and change.
They found themselves in a huge construction site, surrounded by an open expanse with a few dim light bulbs hanging from the ceiling.
With this light, everyone can see the things and people around them clearly.
Just as everyone was looking at each other, trying to figure out what was going on, a cold, broadcast voice rang out.
"Goodnight countdown, one minute left. 59, 58, 57, 56...!"
Having the original owner's memories, Xu Nian knew that anyone who hadn't fallen asleep within this minute would be dragged away and executed.
So she immediately bent down to look for a sleeping bag, and luckily, there was one right next to her feet.
I unzipped the sleeping bag, laid it out, and crawled inside.
Some people around her took action, while others remained clueless. Xu Nian closed her eyes but ultimately did nothing.
The rules of the battle royale game are elimination. She doesn't know how many people she can save now, or who she can save later, or even if she herself will survive.
Moreover, not everyone has a sleeping bag; if you observe closely, you'll find that one in ten people doesn't have one.
What will happen to the person who didn't get a sleeping bag? Nobody knows.
The world is not lacking in intelligent people, nor is it lacking in people who can assess the situation.
Before you understand your situation, it's best to go with the flow, sort out your thoughts, look for clues to survive, and finally escape.
As more and more people complied with the game's arrangements and lay down in their sleeping bags, those who were at a loss also succumbed to the majority.
“31, 30…18…13…9…!”
As the countdown was nearing its end, someone discovered that there weren't enough sleeping bags.
The scramble for sleeping bags turned into a panic. Until the very last second of the countdown, people were still arguing over who would get one more, but they had no chance.
In the dark corners where the lights couldn't reach, one expressionless person after another suddenly appeared.
Dressed as mercenaries, they were all muscular and powerful, standing over 1.9 meters tall, and their mere presence exuded an unparalleled sense of intimidation.
They approached those who hadn't gone to bed on time, paired them up, and dragged them all out of the crowd and back into the darkness they had come from.
Those with fiery tempers who tried to resist were dealt with on the spot.
The blood-stained ground, the limp arms and heads—all spoke of how those who resisted died.
They were killing people; they were indeed killing people.
If the few whose heads exploded before were meant to be a warning to others, then this is to tell everyone that human life means nothing in this game.
"This place is so scary, I want to go home." A girl near Xu Nian started to cry softly.
"Do you still have your phones? Has anyone called the police for help?"
"It's no use. I've tried. There's no cell phone signal, and we can't even connect to satellites. We're completely cut off from the outside world."
Some people, skeptical, took out their phones to call for help, but there was no signal and the calls couldn't be made.
“What do these kidnappers want by kidnapping so many of us? Do we have no choice but to play this game? We have thousands of people. As long as we unite, what are we afraid of that we can’t take down the mastermind behind it all?” A middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"That's a great idea. You saw what happened just now; we ended up in this game out of nowhere."
"Even those mercenaries emerged silently from the shadows. They were cold and heartless, killing without any emotion. They felt like a group of robots to me."
"The first thing we need to do is figure out where we are. If we are in reality, we still have hope of being rescued. If we are out of reality and in a game... well, you'd better watch out, cough cough!" After saying this, the clear voice couldn't help but cough.
Hearing the whispers and suppressed coughs around her, and considering what he said, Xu Nian guessed that he might be the male lead, so she chimed in, "Stop guessing, this isn't reality."
"Young lady, do you know something by saying that?" the middle-aged man asked suspiciously.
"Shh! They're coming." Xu Nian quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
If a player doesn't sleep when they should and is discovered by patrol officers, they will be dragged away and dealt with accordingly.
The original owner couldn't sleep, and was discovered by a patrolman, dragged away, and died in the darkness.
Seeing Xu Nian so nervous, the people around her all shut their mouths and pretended to be asleep.
When the patrolman came over, his sharp eyes swept over everyone, and he looked at them for a long time before leaving the area.
He hadn't walked far when he stopped in front of someone, then expressionlessly pulled that person away.
No matter how much the man begged for mercy, he could not escape those merciless, life-snatching hands.
After that person died, everyone heard a notification: Player Wang Ping is dead. Cause of death: Violation of sleeping rules.
Everyone who heard this message felt a chill run down their spine.
After the patrolmen had gone some distance, someone complained, "What the hell are these sleeping rules? Did you even see one?"
"Look at the ceiling, there are words on it."
