Wang Quan had assumed Zhang Nan would approach any team he saw and ask, but he encountered several teams in a row, yet Zhang Nan didn't ask if he could join. Wang Quan gradually breathed a sigh of relief. Now, the thought of joining a team filled him with a rational resistance. After all, his previous two attempts to join had made him more introverted, and he was genuinely afraid of encountering someone like Ivan again, in which case his identity would definitely be in danger.
The people who came to this competition were truly exceptional. He no longer harbored the wishful thinking he had when he registered, naively believing that he could survive to the finals.
As Wang Quan pondered this, he followed Zhang Nan, looking around. He couldn't understand why Zhang Nan wasn't searching for evidence. Was it because he was a fake, but Zhang Nan wasn't? He wasn't searching for evidence or looking for circuit information either. Was he really just here to play around?
As the two were walking upstairs, they passed a window and saw a person sitting on the edge of the window. The person was dressed in sportswear, with his hands in his pockets, and was facing away from the stairs, looking out at the dense forest, as if he were on vacation. He seemed to be in a different world from the other people searching for evidence.
Wang Quan thought to himself, "What a strange person. At this hour, in this bright sunshine, who would want to be out in the sun like this?"
But as the two passed by, the other person suddenly spoke up, "Gentlemen, there's a toll for this road."
The other person turned around, revealing a handsome, dark-skinned man with a bandit-like expression.
Wang Quan had never seen such a shameless person. This contestant was charging a toll for using the show's venue. It was outrageous!
"How can you be like this! This isn't your territory."
The handsome, dark-skinned man nimbly vaulted over the windowsill with one hand, landing lightly on the stairwell. Leaning against the inside, he crossed his arms and raised one eyebrow. "These are the rules I set. Are you trying to challenge them?"
Shen Yicheng watched as the two remained silent for a long time. One stared at him with bright eyes, while the other's face turned red, yet he didn't utter a single word.
"Ahem, I opened up this mountain, I planted this road, if you want to pass through, you have to get infected by me."
Wang Quan was stunned. This guy was actually a fake?! And he was so blatantly infecting others! This world is too surreal. Did he get up too early this morning and not wake up yet?
However, Wang Quan's bracelet clearly showed that the person in front of him was his fake companion.
Wang Quan's feelings were very complicated. Some fake people were timid and wandered around, while others were attacking with heavy blows and openly demanding infection. How could there be such a big difference between fake people?
"Have I made myself clear? To pass through here, you have to get infected first. Friendly reminder: the stairwell on the other side is locked, so this is the only way upstairs."
Wang Quan was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He was truly a role model for us all. We were both hypocrites, so why did he live such a pathetic and pathetic life?
Zhang Nan looked troubled. "But I've already been infected. If I get infected again, I'll be eliminated."
Shen Yicheng seemed to have a good temper, and his gaze fell on Wang Quan. He said, "Aren't there two of you? I can infect the other person too. I'm not an unreasonable person."
It was the same familiar formula, the same familiar taste. Wang Quan was numb. No matter how things started or how they developed, in the end, all the spotlight would only be on him. All he wanted was to join the team and infect more people, right? Was that wrong? Why was he always the center of attention?
However, he's a fake human and can't be infected. Shen Yicheng can't rob him.
"Zhang Nan, let's go somewhere else, let's not go upstairs."
Shen Yicheng's eyes flickered. What's wrong with this guy? Why is he obediently letting someone else infect him, just like everyone else?
"Hey, how about I give you another clue? It only infects one person once. Is that price reasonable?"
Wang Quan laughed. "We're all imposters, how could we possibly provide clues to others? You're an imposter, brother, how can we trust you?"
Shen Yicheng wasn't bothered. "I can tell you first, there's an important clue about the serum in the operating room on the roof of the inpatient building. How about it, you two, am I sincere enough?"
Wang Quan was delighted. He had already obtained the clues, so why not just run away instead of staying here and obediently letting the other party infect him?
Shen Yicheng could guess Wang Quan's thoughts just by looking at his expression. He was just like the other passersby, hoping to get away with it.
"You two had better think it through. Do you want to honestly send out one person, or be eliminated? I believe it's not a difficult choice. The last person who wanted to get something for free is already backstage. You probably don't want to run into them so soon, do you?"
Shen Yicheng's clenched fists cracked loudly. Wang Quan was somewhat disdainful; what was there to be afraid of in a fake man like him?
"We don't have any antidote right now. Why don't you wait here? We'll find one and then come back to infect you, okay?"
When Wang Quan heard Zhang Nan's tone of discussion, he belatedly realized that he wasn't afraid, but Zhang Nan had already been infected once, and if she were infected again, she would be eliminated.
“I’m not stupid. You think you can come back after running away? That’s a joke. Of course not. I’d give away a lead for nothing and let you go. If word gets out, how am I supposed to do business with other people? My reputation and credibility will be damaged. If you can’t do it, then let him come. I’ve already been very sincere.”
Wang Quan knew he was a fake. Compared to him, Zhang Nan was more dangerous. If he simply grabbed the guy and let Zhang Nan run, Zhang Nan probably wouldn't abandon him. So, he had to knock this guy down. The guy looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, shorter than him, and looked thin and weak. He tried to be as gentle as possible.
Wang Quan also moved his head left and right, and then charged forward with a right hook.
In a single exchange, Wang Quan was tackled to the ground by Shen Yicheng. Shen Yicheng stepped on Wang Quan's back and said, "Kid, you've got some ideas. I told you to behave yourself, but why won't you listen? Do you think I'm some pushover who can collect tolls all by myself?"
Wang Quan really cried this time. His pride was shattered beyond repair.
"Why didn't you just let me infect you once and be done with it? Why did you have to make me eliminate you? Remember to say hello to the guys I eliminated before when you go backstage. Don't worry about your teammates. I'll send you off first, and then I'll send them over to keep you company. How about that? Pretty righteous, right?"
Wang Quan's face was covered in snot and tears. Hearing that Shen Yicheng was going to eliminate Zhang Nan, he cried out and turned around to hug Shen Yicheng's leg tightly, "Zhang Nan, run! I'll hold him off!"
Seeing Wang Quan's tears and snot about to get on his pants, Shen Yicheng felt disgusted. "Let go! Let go now, and I'll make you both feel better! Ah! Your snot! Don't get it on me..."
Zhang Nan, unnoticed by anyone, looked at the two chaotic figures with a helpless expression. He hadn't expected Wang Quan to have this side to him; it was truly unexpected.
