Chapter 53 Full of Vitality
Upon receiving this answer, Wang Ziqie and the others were taken aback.
After realizing what had happened, I stared at the three words on the private chat panel, but I still couldn't take my eyes off them.
"Boss Su said he's not going to form a racing team..."
As if she hadn't expected such a reply, Wang Ziqie repeated the response blankly.
On the other side, Xiao Yuan stared at the screen, also somewhat silent. Mao Kai, having been stripped of his player status, could only learn about the outside world through Xiao Yuan. He asked, "Has Boss Su Shi replied to you?"
Xiao Yuan nodded and relayed Su Shi's reply to Mao Kai.
Mao Kai immediately fell silent.
Inevitably, whether it was Wang Ziqie and his group, or Xiao Yuan and Mao Kai, after receiving such a reply from Boss Su Shi, their first reaction was to assume that Boss Su Shi was also attracted by the reward.
After all, like the ordinary players in District 10736 who were currently feeling dejected... these individuals were simply ordinary people with little survival ability. In fact, back on the beginner's road, if it weren't for the powerful Su Shi saving Ye Shen's life with low-level medicine, Wang Ziqie and Zhang Fan would likely have completely collapsed long ago, unable to obtain the medicine and forced to watch Ye Shen slowly die. Naturally, there wouldn't have been the opportunity for Xiao Yuan to contact Su Shi through them later on the scorching road.
But precisely because they had received help from Su Shi, they, like other ordinary players, were also having such speculations in their hearts, yet they felt no disappointment or other negative emotions.
Even after a brief moment of surprise and silence, they all silently sat up straight again.
Ye Shen first reaffirmed his resolve: "In this journey of survival for everyone, we can't rely solely on Boss Su Shi to get through forever. Remember our previous consensus? Only when we also grow stronger can we be qualified to continue following Boss Su Shi. Otherwise, if we have no strength at all, wouldn't we just be holding Boss Su Shi back? Moreover, Boss Su Shi's decision not to form a car team likely indicates that he has discovered some hidden dangers."
Wang Ziqie and Zhang Fan looked up at Ye Shen.
Xiao Yuan and Mao Kai, on the other side, also came to the same conclusion.
Mao Kai: "Actually, this is good. Your physique when opening treasure chests is too special; you can only ever get blueprints. Although blueprints are valuable, combat dungeons like Beast and Slaughter are very difficult to obtain. The Slaughter Highway has rich rewards, so you can take this opportunity to develop your character. After all, you can't always rely on that big shot, right?"
Xiao Yuan nodded: "You're right. And you saw those messages in the public chat just now, right? Boss Su Shi is smarter than us, he must have realized there might be some problems with forming a team. Moreover, Boss Su Shi doesn't even form teams that can earn daily member survival points, so forming a team is probably not on his radar. I was too offensive with my question just now."
Mao Kai patted Xiao Yuan on the shoulder: "Actually, the Killing Highway isn't necessarily that difficult. You forgot, I have a special ability. And it's the kind of ability that gives me an advantage in combat."
The ability to metalize certain limbs is indeed quite advantageous for combat. It's even quite good for defense.
Xiao Yuan: "We still need to be careful. I estimate that many players in Zone 9350 have pistols."
On the other side, Wang Ziqie and Zhang Fanyi were also completely fired up:
"Brother Ye, you're right! Besides, Boss Su Shi is so kind. We were worried that other players would take advantage of him. But we almost became those kinds of people ourselves!"
Prince Qie clenched his fist, "No, I must work hard to become stronger!"
Zhang Fan nodded in agreement: "Even if we become stronger, we still won't be able to help Boss Su Shi. We can't keep holding him back forever!"
Ye Shen: "Well, this is only a low-difficulty 1-star dungeon. We don't know what the higher-star dungeons will be like. Although the killing dungeons are bloody and brutal, we can't miss this opportunity to become stronger."
When the nature of the killing instance was mentioned, Wang Ziqie and Zhang Fanyi became a little worried again.
"Does the killing dungeon really have to involve killing each other?"
Ultimately, although the three of them had been on their survival journey for almost a month, the prospect of killing each other was simply too terrifying. It was a completely different story from getting out of the vehicle and facing wild animals! They all doubted whether they could bring themselves to do it.
In fact, even though Ye Shen appears calm at this moment, he also harbors self-doubt and resistance.
However, unlike Wang Ziqie and his group, the other players in the three servers who were waiting for the public chat to merge had gradually solidified their determination to fight to the death. The players in server 10736 were still somewhat undecided, unsure whether to wait for the public chat to reopen and continue to wait for information from veteran players like Cheng Wen... or simply forget the previous unity of server 10736 and fight to the death as well.
Honestly, most players in server 10736 still want to wait for information from big names like Cheng Wen.
After all, they had come to terms with their own abilities back on the Beast Highway. Combat strength? Absolutely none. Even compared to surviving, the reward held little appeal for them. It wasn't that they didn't want the reward; it was simply that their strength wouldn't allow it!
So at this moment, everyone is staring intently at the public chat that is still in the merged area, secretly praying that the big shots are not really going to abandon them.
Meanwhile, after replying to Prince Qie and his group that they wouldn't be forming a caravan, A11 continued to quickly explain to the cub the currently known information related to the killing dungeon:
[Does the little one know what a gun is?]
The cub had just heard the rules system announce this word. The cub remembered it, but…
The cub shook its head: "I don't know."
[A pistol is a very powerful weapon. You know that wooden axes and daggers are also very dangerous weapons, right?]
A11 explained this to the cubs on the Wild Beast Highway.
The cub nodded, then seriously raised its little hand and waved it: "It's dangerous, you'll cut your hand and bleed!"
[Yes, little one~ Getting cut by a wooden axe or dagger will cause bleeding and injury, so it's very dangerous! But a pistol is even more dangerous than a wooden axe or dagger, much, much, much more dangerous!]
The repeated emphasis on the words made the cub more aware of the danger, and the cub exclaimed, "So dangerous!"
[Yes, little one! And pistols can even attack from a distance! For example, if you're sitting in a car and encounter another player with a pistol, and that player wants to steal all your supplies, they'll have to attack you first. So how will that player attack? Because they have a pistol, they don't even need to open the door or get out; they can simply open the window and shoot at your car! Since your car isn't upgraded, the pistol will shatter the window!]
The cub was terrified by such a detailed description.
He slowly turned his head to look at the car window next to him.
Eyes widened: "Break?"
[That's right, smash it. And after the glass is broken, the bullets fired from the gun might injure the kids inside the car!]
[It might not just harm the puppies, but also the dog inside the car, or the mutated plant in the back seat!]
The cub was genuinely a little frightened.
In his young mind, such a spacious and tall car was an incredibly powerful and sturdy structure. He never imagined that a car window could be broken. Naturally, he never imagined that he could be attacked even without getting out of the car.
"What should we do then..."
The cub clung to the dog blankly, asking helplessly, while its head was already searching inside the car.
See if there's a place where you can hide the dog and the mutated plant in case you encounter a terrifying weapon like a handgun.
At this moment, the public chat has finally completed its temporary merger.
Unlike the rather chaotic atmosphere of District 10736, the newly merged players seem to be full of vitality.
However, unlike those perverts in District 9350 who immediately send unpleasant messages.
[Server merge! Server merge again! Hello everyone, just call me Super Invincible Handsome Grandpa!]
Ignore him. Look at his name; his surname is Sun—just call him Sunzi (grandson).
【I'll go to hell with you!】
Hello everyone, nice to meet you in the Killing Dungeon! I was third place in the last dungeon~ Please remember my name, and feel free to come and kill me!
[Holy crap, this psychopath is at it again! Don't believe her lies, everyone. Whoever kills her—she'll kill them!]
[Another killing spree instance! Good grief, when will this ever end?! Can't I just go on a relaxing road trip?!]
Come on, come and kill me this time, and I'll give you the permanent "lying down" perk when you log off!
The overly cheerful atmosphere left players in server 10736 speechless.
Even the perverts in server 9350 became silent and introverted after seeing that these players in the newly merged server had apparently already experienced and cleared the killing dungeon.
Not to mention the players in the other four regions.
It felt like the sky was falling.
One server, 9350, wasn't enough; now another one has appeared that has experienced the Killing Dungeon!
And look at the number of players—holy crap! This merged server has a whopping 3430 players!
Are they all players who survived and cleared the killing dungeons?!
The ordinary players in District 10736, whose hearts were hanging in suspense, finally gave up completely.
Just moments ago, I was hoping to wait for the final decision from Cheng Wen and other big shots after the public chat merge, to see if there was any chance of not being abandoned. But now… looking at the 1523 players in server 9350, and then at the 3430 players in the newly merged server… that's a total of 4953! Even the native players in server 10736 alone wouldn't be enough to kill these people who have already experienced the killing spree!
It's over, it's really over.
Even if the big shots like Cheng Wen don't abandon ordinary players, they probably still won't survive this carnage. After all, even if they form a team, they only have three chances to get help each day.
Against so many players who have already fought their way through the killing dungeons... even if top players like Cheng Wen could create clones, they couldn't possibly help all the players in the team in time!
Moreover, Cheng Wen and other bigwigs didn't even have the idea of forming a racing team.
