A minute had passed when the people in the second car rushed over.
The otaku rushed as fast as he could and reached Losie's side before the people in the second car arrived.
In his eyes, Losi was the least dangerous.
Losi silently took two steps back, keeping a safe distance to avoid being ambushed. His box likely contained weapons.
"Zhang Jie, Luo Xi, Little Master, shall we team up again?" Shui Xian asked, a little unsure of herself since she hadn't received her weapon.
Zhang Jie was the first to agree, and the young master, the bullfrog man, also agreed.
Only Losi is left.
"Lossie, are you going to back out?" Narcissus asked uncertainly.
Losi smiled and blinked her innocent eyes: "No, I'm just waiting for my friend. If you don't mind my friend joining, the team-up agreement still stands."
Upon hearing that Losi had teammates, Narcissus looked at the second group of people. Among the ten, she saw a little girl even younger than Losi. Her intuition told her that the little girl was the one Losi was waiting for.
As expected, unlike the others who left upon seeing that she had no weapons, Dale immediately rushed towards Losi.
Narcissus hesitated for a moment but still agreed. Since she had some means in the second batch, and besides, Losi had weapons.
After running over, Dale stood directly behind Losi with her back to her. They didn't know anyone here, and they had to be wary of even their teammates.
"Are you alright in the car?" Rossi asked as she moved closer to Narcissus.
"It's okay, are we going to team up with these people?" Dale followed Losi.
After receiving a positive response, Dyer quickly accepted, saying that she would try her best to overcome her social anxiety given the constant threat to her life.
The original group of four became five, and the otaku was left alone again. He was too embarrassed to go over again.
Just when he was in despair and thought he was about to die, Losi called out, "Big brother, let's go together?"
The otaku seemed to hear heavenly music, and he jogged over with his suitcase, giving Luo Xi a grateful look.
Zhang Jie and Shui Xian had different expressions, but they didn't stop him. A homebody might be useless, but he can be used to take the fall in a critical moment.
In that brief moment, the gunwoman had already left, while the brother and sister and the landlady stood motionless beside the black man.
Soon two more people joined the Black man, and the original team of four became six, the same number as Losi's team.
However, the group of black men on the other side were strong and muscular, and they looked much stronger than Losi's group.
The black man held the baseball bat, weighed it in his hand a couple of times, and glanced at the six people.
"Let's go." After saying that, the black man chose a direction and led his teammates away.
The third group of people had already gotten off the bus, and Shui Xian and the others didn't dare to delay. They chose a direction and started moving forward.
Losi looked up at the sky, two or three meters above her head, where six "Heavenly Eyes" were following their group, meaning that each person had one.
It seems almost impossible for me to use the space to do anything.
As the group jogged along, Zhang Jie couldn't help but mutter, "What kind of prey could there be in this freezing weather? They're either hibernating or migrating south."
"Are we really going to have to search through the hibernating animals' dens?" Narcissus raised her eyebrows slightly, feeling that this competition was probably not that simple.
The bullfrog man moved silently with the group, without expressing his opinion.
The nerdy guy knew he was useless and didn't dare to interrupt.
Losy gripped the baseball bat and silently switched places with Dale, placing her between herself and the nerdy guy.
If there are no prey in winter, then these contestants become the prey. But is it really necessary to kill them, or is it the third eye on their heads?
Following Losi's gaze, Dale glanced at the Heavenly Eye but didn't find anything wrong with it.
However, behind each of these "sky eyes" are countless pairs of eyes watching from behind the large screens within the safe zone.
They were betting on who would win, and even ordinary people were involved. However, the ordinary people only found out after the third round of the competition began, otherwise the news would have been leaked long ago.
The moment the match started, a message popped up on everyone's wristband.
Refugee Camp Election Begins!!! A battle of life and time! Guess the winner and win tons of points! Come and pick your favorite!
At first, many people suspected it was a prank, but when they saw it was posted by an official source, they clicked on it out of curiosity.
Immediately afterwards, all outdoor public electronic displays showed the relevant images.
However, the screen is limited, so most of the content is displayed on the small screens of the top ten contestants. If the camera detects a highlight, it will automatically switch to other videos.
As more and more people joined, the frenzy of betting on the election swept through everyone in the safe zone, regardless of age or gender.
News from within the safe zone quickly reached the outside, and the participants' friends and family hurriedly sent messages to warn them. However, the hunting grounds had deliberately shut down all signals except for the Sky Eye, so no one could receive the message.
Discussions in the safe zone were in full swing, and countless posts soon appeared online, with the most viewed being about what exactly the prey was.
The most upvoted comment was about people; refugees weren't considered fully human to them, but rather deformed, mutated half-humans.
Of course, some people speculate that the "Sky Eye" is the prey, while others think the safe zone isn't so cruel and that it's probably just a place to hunt hibernating animals.
If even ordinary people in the safe zone could guess so much, how could the contestants not guess?
Although the game had only been going on for a mere ten minutes, some people had already started attacking those around them.
Those bloody scenes were captured by the Sky Eye, transmitted back to the safe zone, processed by human copywriters, and then frantically sent to every bracelet.
Shocking! Former friends have turned against each other. Is this a sign of moral decay or a lack of humanity? #ElectionIsInProgress
In the video, a man picks up a stone and, without trembling, taps it down on his companion.
After confirming his death, the man instructed the eye that was following him, "Prey number one, remember this well."
Just as many were shocked by the cruelty of the authorities and the refugees, a video quietly went viral.
In the video, a lone person finds a small, white bag containing three blue glass beads.
After glancing around to make sure no one was watching him, he quietly slipped the object into his pocket. He now reasonably suspected that this was the thing he was after.
The official caption reads: "The prey has been revealed, and the first lucky one has appeared!"
Two lines of smaller text followed, explaining why the prey was beads.
The gist of it is that the official plan was to start the general election at the end of the warm season, which is when large prey are looking for food to prepare for winter. However, the cold wave arrived early, and the animals either froze to death or hibernated prematurely, so beads had to be used instead.
However, the fact that the organizers did not inform the contestants in advance that the prey was beads was intentional; only by being sufficiently stimulating could more people be drawn in.
Some of those who were initially furious and criticized the authorities for being too cruel gradually fell silent after seeing this video.
A few more minutes passed, and more and more people discovered the bag. Some, however, were still unaware and had already begun fighting with their own kind.
The first person to make the move has been edited into a meme by civilians in the safe zone and has appeared on various forums.
“Prey number one, remember this well.”
The man has become a laughing stock online, but he himself knows nothing about it.
