Chen Yi obtained two items when she shut down the poison gas tower: one that healed her health and another that was quite interesting.
Chen Yi's team continued to shut down the gas towers without stopping. Scattered elimination sounds could be heard in between. She counted the number and felt a sense of unease. There were too many eliminations, and they were happening too fast.
Everyone has gone through the first round of the competition, so they won't easily trust others. Those who have made it to the finals are all quite wary, but the sudden elimination of so many people is the worst possible outcome.
The fake survivors have banded together and have even started to systematically attack survivors in different areas.
Based on the ratio from the previous round, there shouldn't be too many fakes this time. They should be hiding and waiting for an opportunity. Why are they banding together? A thin figure suddenly flashed through Chen Yi's mind, and her expression unconsciously became serious.
If it's the person she guessed, today's game will probably end very quickly.
As Chen Yi and her team shut down the gas tower, she kept an eye on the altar out of the corner of her eye. At one moment, she noticed that the side of the altar suddenly shrank inward.
She carefully avoided the group, crept over, and discovered that it was actually a prop.
God-Slaying Item: Ignores identity and health, instantly killing the opponent.
This is really a great thing.
Chen Yi put away the props and quietly returned to the team. At this moment, she noticed that the gas towers on the other side looked different from the ones they had already closed. She was certain that the gas towers on the other side had been opened in reverse by the fake man.
However, her bracelet did not provide any warning about the poison gas, and her health did not decrease, so it was unclear when the poison gas was released or the extent of its release.
Chen Yi and her team shut down the gas towers again. Just as they were shutting down the sixth tower, the bell in the center of the square was rung.
A notification came over the loudspeaker that a mission had been triggered: "All surviving contestants are requested to participate in the sacrifice vote. If the contestant to be sacrificed is not a fake human, participants who vote incorrectly will have their infection value increased by 10%. If the contestant to be sacrificed is a fake human, they will be eliminated."
Chen Yi's heart sank. They had only just begun their mission and didn't know much about the other contestants yet, and they were already about to start voting.
Contestants who make incorrect choices will also have their infection value increased. Chen Yi is certain that the one who rang the bell must be a fake.
If she was just guessing at first, now she is completely certain that the fake people have also banded together.
However, nowadays, they must complete their vote in just 2 minutes.
Chen Yi remembered someone she had suspected at the beginning. After looking at the bracelet, that person hurried away. Although he was still expressionless, he was clearly flustered.
She had a good memory; she remembered the person's name, so she told the name to everyone on the team.
During the waiting time, everyone was somewhat distracted from their tasks. What should have been a short two minutes felt like two hours, with each second agonizingly passing.
The bell rang again, its tolling heavy against the hearts of all the survivors, growing louder as it approached.
Chen Yi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the infection value on her bracelet was still 0. It was indeed the right decision.
On the other side, Shen Yicheng followed Zhang Nan, watching as the latter openly met with other fake people, conspired to destroy the poison gas tower, and premeditatedly attacked the survivors of other small teams.
Shen Yicheng always felt that Zhang Nan knew he was following him, but the other party did not take him seriously and even provoked him. After attacking, his eyes would subconsciously sweep over his hiding place.
Shen Yicheng clenched his fists. This guy really was a bad person, too despicable. The ringing of the bell would sacrifice three health points of a contestant. Zhang Nan sacrificed a fake character without blinking an eye to ring the bell, and even smiled as he watched the vote be triggered.
Shen Yicheng always felt that Zhang Nan had an antisocial personality. Compared to Wang Quan's evil deeds out of necessity, Zhang Nan's evil deeds were clearly intentional, and even just for fun, rather than for survival.
This guy is a dangerous element; he needs to keep a close eye on him. However, Zhang Nan has already gathered most of the fake people, and given his current identity, it's difficult for him to confront him head-on.
However, he was unwilling to watch Zhang Nan continue to be so arrogant. He could not continue to fight alone. He needed partners to bring down Zhang Nan together.
At this moment, Shen Yicheng remembered Chen Yi, who had invited him at the beginning. He had a strong impression of her; he had heard about her during his day off yesterday.
In this preliminary round, there were only two venues where fewer than 5 people advanced: one was the Plague Hospital where they were located, and the other was the Cellar Maze, where only two people survived, one of whom was Chen Yi.
People from other projects have heard of her to some extent, and no one would underestimate her just because she is not tall.
Shen Yicheng quickly found Chen Yi.
Chen Yi never expected that someone who had rejected her would come back. "I want to join you. But I have one condition."
Chen Yi didn't dwell on the previous rejection and asked directly, "What are the conditions?"
"My condition is that Zhang Nan be eliminated."
Chen Yi was slightly surprised, but quickly understood. "I agree. It would be great to cooperate then."
Shen Yicheng hesitated to shake hands with Chen Yi, his brows furrowed. "Do you know Zhang Nan?"
Chen Yi wasn't embarrassed. She withdrew her hand, her expression calm. "I don't know much about it, but I've heard some things."
Chen Yi agreed without hesitation, which made Shen Yicheng uneasy, and he even felt that Chen Yi might not be a good partner.
Chen Yi saw his concerns and did not try to persuade him. "If I said I fully understood, I would probably be lying to you. He has a different identity and position than us. Before the game ends, a winner will definitely be decided."
Shen Yicheng didn't dwell on it any longer. Chen Yi could guess Zhang Nan's identity, so she could be considered a qualified partner.
Chen Yi didn't think too much about it. Compared to the pseudo-humans who had already banded together, the more people in the survivor team banded together, the more advantageous it would be, not to mention someone like Shen Yicheng who was quite strong in combat.
Chen Yi and her team quickly obtained all the clues to the purification runes, but when they went to Runeterra, they were ambushed by the False Man.
Chen Yi felt an eeriness in the surrounding silence, so she had her team stay put. The stone slabs in the distance made her uneasy; the path was too clean.
The area around this site is surrounded by woods and soil. If someone had walked by, the stone slabs would have been covered with dust or fallen leaves. But now the stone slabs are spotless and show no signs of anyone having been there.
It was one thing that there were no traces of people, but the absence of fallen leaves was too strange. The wind was quite strong today, and Chen Yi could see leaves falling as far as she could see, but on the stone slab, there were only leaves that had just fallen in her line of sight.
There was an ambush here. The other side didn't come up to rob or charge directly, probably because they wanted to drive them into the area with the stone slabs.
There must be a mechanism within the stone slab area, perhaps one that can eliminate the entire group.
However, the place ahead is where the purification rune clues point to, and this is the only way they can get there.
It seems we have no choice but to break through head-on.
