Chapter 11 "The Hope Called Sacrifice."



Su Mingan went upstairs and found a room to rest for the night.

Yueyue followed him, closed the door, and suddenly said: "Something is wrong."

"...Ah." Su Mingan sat on the bed and wiped the steel pipe: "What did you say?"

"This pub smells of blood, it might be dangerous," said Yueyue.

"Of course there are dangers." Su Mingan said, "I've seen some strange-looking corpses before. In addition to the zombie crisis, people in this world also suffer from a kind of mushroom disease where their bodies are covered with mushrooms. And the news said that mushrooms can cure the mushroom disease."

Yueyue suddenly thought of something.

——Could it be that the raw materials for treating mushroom diseases are... those mushrooms that grow from corpses?

"A black shop like this is probably a mushroom cultivation place." Su Mingan yawned, "They trick people into coming here, trap them, and grow mushrooms on their bodies. The whole city is a huge crematorium.

After all, by isolating a group based on whether they are sick or not, we can label others in this way, and list those who are suitable to be called mushrooms and those who are suitable to be "saved" by mushrooms - it is not the disease that kills people, but their own greed..."

Listening to his words, Yueyue stood facing the cold night wind for a long time and felt a little cold.

Suddenly, the old man's hoarse voice sounded outside the door:

"Young man, young lady, would you like some snacks? You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Yueyue tiptoed to the door and put her face gently close to the peephole.

——She met the old man’s dark eyes, like a quagmire.

She swallowed and immediately tried to retreat.

"...Why aren't you talking? Are you asleep?" She heard the old man mumbling to himself outside the door.

“Crack.”

The old man outside the door, his hands still stained with blood, was holding a basket of mushrooms.

When he heard the obvious sound of wooden boards from the door, the old man's smile stretched from the corners of his mouth to the corners of his eyes in an instant. His smile was so scary that it didn't look like a normal human being: "...So, it's inside."

Yueyue shuddered, only to find that the door, which had been tightly locked, had been opened at some point.

“Squeak—”

The old man, his body stained with black blood, grinned at her through the crack in the door.

Suddenly, with a "bang", a steel pipe passed by Yueyue's hair and hit the old man directly.

【——HP-120! 】

Su Ming'an, who was lying on the bed, picked up another intact steel pipe, walked a few steps to the still struggling old man, and thrust the steel pipe in his hand into him, causing large amounts of blood to splatter.

[——HP-600! (Fatal wound, penetrating wound!)]

Su Mingan's move was too decisive and killed the old man unawares.

After killing the old man, Su Mingan found a bloody mushroom, from which flowed a liquid that looked like human blood - it was this kind of thing that could take the lives of some people and save the lives of others.

"What are you doing holding the quilt?"

Suddenly, Su Mingan looked at the girl who was twisting and turning while holding a large sheet.

"Change rooms." Yueyue said.

She yawned and walked lazily.

"Oh, yes." She turned around and said, "The jumping game."

Su Mingan thought for a while before he understood what she was talking about.

Yueyue and he had been friends for several years. He would play games with her, but she always played so badly that he soon became unwilling to play with her. He knew that Yueyue came from a poor family and was a loner, which led to her temporary addiction.

But he refused to be a rookie.

So he tricked her before, saying that he would release a "jumping game" soon and would ask her to play it after it was released.

But unexpectedly, the game he wrote had not yet been officially released - the world game had already begun.

He also acquired a skill that transcends the rules and became the best in the world.

He was destined to never go back to play games with anyone and waste precious time on upgrading. Not to mention that he didn't want to play with her at all.

"..."Su Mingan didn't know how to reply to her for a moment.

“…”

Yueyue also stared at him.

But soon, she turned around:

"Forget it." She hugged the quilt and walked to another empty room: "I'm sleepy, good night."

"...Good night." Su Mingan finally saw her leave.

With death rollback, he was destined to go to some very dangerous places frequently. After the identity of the first player was exposed, the whole world would be watching him, and it would be inconvenient for her to follow him.

Once you have collected all the clues, separate from her.

He went out, searched around for a while, and opened the secret passage leading to the underground.

He walked in holding a candle.

At the end of the road, he saw several relatively fresh corpses. The corpses belonged to several young men. Their eyes were still open, full of fear and disbelief. Fresh mushrooms were growing on their bodies - this was the hope that was growing in this city.

Morbid hope.

The hope called sacrifice.

He took one look at the body, then walked back holding the candle.

"Good night."

The candlelight went out instantly.

Since the launch of the world game, many players have died at the hands of infighting and looting gangs.

They never thought that the most unexpected blow would come from their compatriots.

This group of players entered the forum with a lot of resentment and began to break the monotonous topic of "Come on players!"

[It's a game of fratricide, how can it become peaceful? 】

[If all players’ scores are too low, they will all fail... Don’t be such a saint. In order to win the final victory, elimination is necessary. ]

They saw the post that was directly pinned to the top by the organizer: [(Essence) Brief analysis on how players can save themselves].

The replies below have reached hundreds of millions and are still being updated. There are both affirmation and criticism. Many business tycoons and top celebrities who were originally on Zhai Xing have spoken out, and their posts have also attracted quite a few people.

People agree that appropriate sacrifices are necessary for ultimate victory.

As long as players still have a bottom line, people should not criticize too much about competitive behavior in games.

This game, in which there is no real death and which develops one's martial arts skills and intelligence, is also an opportunity for human beings themselves.

However, players are still worried.

In such a life-and-death game, ambitions and desires will be infinitely magnified.

In the end... the players who have gained everything, the players whose gap has been infinitely magnified, what will they become? Will they become like the organizers and become the overlords who dominate all mankind again?
