A terrifying shock wave swept over, and Wen Shi's explosion-proof suit worked. Others fell to the ground and vomited blood, but he just coughed twice.
A small scarecrow's head popped out of his arms, and all the straw went into his mouth. After he spat out a straw, his big eyeballs rolled around in his eye sockets.
As they stared at each other, Wen Shi dusted him off and said, "Fortunately, your eyeballs didn't pop out."
When the scarecrow was lying down earlier, the cat's tail rolled up the scarecrow in time, as it was almost blown into the sky. Now the bat's wings were still holding the slender and soft tail, with the little head resting on it.
The scarecrow's hat was blown off, and slender fingers helped to tidy up the straw on his head.
Wen Shi treated Jian Qingrong with a little more patience than he did with others. In the last copy, he spent half his life scheming to kill this man and had been using him to pass the level, but Jian Qingrong did not ask for anything from him.
This is contrary to Wen Shi's style of doing things without any obligation.
Wen Shi stood up and looked back at the blazing sea of fire behind him. Half of the city was reduced to ruins in the sky-high flames.
The young man's sexy Adam's apple twitched with a guilty conscience, and his cat ears trembled. He stood there for three seconds, his guilt gradually giving way to confusion. The game hadn't even sent a warning. Was it confused by the explosion?
It's clear that the mechanical voice was complaining about his nesting dolls over a trivial matter not long ago.
Wen Shi had no idea that the blame belonged to the handsome uncle, who was essentially still himself in the parallel world.
So this performance in which he almost got blown up is called karma: I am the nesting doll.
If you are a spectator of the game, when you see someone busy running around, you might even give him a reward in the live broadcast room.
Wen Shi didn't know what he was thinking. He ran back for a distance, climbed up a telephone pole and looked into the distance.
In the back, the host, furious with helplessness, actually rushed towards the sea of fire the first thing he could do: "Camera! Is the camera okay?"
The staff desperately grabbed him, their faces mournful, "It's gone, everything was blown away. Luckily we still have a few drones following him."
Host: "Quick, send a drone back."
Facing the drone hovering overhead, he wanted to wipe the dust off his face with his sleeve, but his suit got burned even more, so he had to give up.
"Dear viewers, an unexpected situation just occurred. But this only proves the watchability of our show. Please stay tuned to see which enemies will appear next!"
At this moment, even Big Eyeball was shocked by this kind of professional ethics.
Employees who leave large factories are willing to devote themselves to their work, but I never expected that there are still people who work until they die.
"Pei, Wen, Wei!" A voice full of resentment came from below.
Wen Shi looked over and saw Tian Wanling standing by a trash can not far away, her eyes rolled up due to the shock. She said grimly, "Is that you?"
Wen Shi shook his head, as if to say, "Don't talk nonsense."
"If it's not you, why are you wearing an explosion-proof suit?" Tian Wanling climbed to her feet and asked bitterly, "How did you survive to this day with so many powerful enemies?"
Looking at this scene, there are even arms dealers here.
Wen Shi spoke truthfully: "As you can see, they are all dead."
For those who are not dead, the crimes they committed are enough to sentence them to life imprisonment.
Tian Wanling closed her eyes tightly. At this moment, all the players, including her, finally understood why the game gave a three-second resurrection time.
What can you do in three seconds?
A: You can press the launch button.
Wen Shi jumped off the electric pole. The strongest wave of enemies had already left, and the next step should be much easier.
Previously, he was most worried about encountering Tu Bianxi's [Ghost Wall maze that could not be escaped and the hail of bullets, which would be a dead end.] However, the ghost wall did not appear for a long time.
Could it be that Tu Bianxi is still alive?
Thinking of this, Wen Shi bowed to the sky and said, "Thank God."
No, we should thank Tu Bianxi for his own efforts.
He dragged his heavy feet to meet up with Liu Yun and the others. After meeting, he said directly: "Now we can find a place to hide."
Aside from the hearse and the car that had fallen into the ditch, there wasn't a single car on the street. Without transportation, the players weren't too far apart. The previous incident had happened so quickly, leaving no one to communicate. Now, gathered together, the male player panted, "Each of you should mention the enemy you need to be most careful of, so you can be prepared when hiding."
The male player's name is Sun Geng, and his skill is the same as Zhang Suihe's, [Fishing].
Most skills in the dungeon are overlapping, and only a very small number of rare skills are possessed by a single player.
He proposed a very correct solution to the problem, but no one spoke.
Compared to that missile, it seems that no enemy can even stand on the stage.
Wen Shi thought of players like Luo Xiao he'd met in the final game. They were great at calculating people, but their physical attacks were just okay. Most of the items in the mall were only effective against ghosts. Items like those that could directly blow up the castle stairs had to be obtained from dungeons, and only a few players had them.
"I should be fine here." He said after thinking for a while.
The trust between people was about to be destroyed. Ji Yuanzhi wiped the black dust off his glasses and asked, "Are you sure?"
Wen Shi nodded and looked back: "Besides, there probably aren't many enemies left."
The destructive power of the missiles swept across many places, and I believe that many people were killed as soon as they were resurrected.
Yes, this is a blessing in disguise.
After everyone adjusted their states and regained their spirits, they finally chose a skyscraper as their hiding place. This is a well-known tourist attraction in Tianhai City. There is a telescope on the top floor of the skyscraper, which makes it easy to get a glimpse of most areas of the city.
Half of the people stayed
The game is fair in this respect. Those who survive long are almost all players whose power can be controlled alone.
They weren't the only ones running to higher ground. About three blocks away, a resurrected veteran player, very experienced, climbed up, looked around, and started shouting into a loudspeaker, "There's a drone! Pay attention to where the drone is!"
"I'll go."
On the top floor, Tian Wanling's severe head injury couldn't be healed for the time being, so she had to drink potions every once in a while. She showed off another bottle and said, "Whose Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Child is this?"
Ji Yuanzhi took the initiative to claim the player, and even said in a nostalgic tone: "This person has been dead for many years. He is the player I met when I entered the first dungeon."
The air became quiet again.
Killing someone in your first instance? You're quite capable.
Tian Wanling never took her eyes off the telescope, adjusting the focus distance and capturing several suspicious moving black spots on the ground.
"I'll use [Fabric] to make a few low-level fire-collecting dolls," Tian Wanling said to Ji Yuanzhi, "Try and see if you can confuse their perception."
She had dealt with players with hallucinogenic skills before. Ji Yuanzhi was able to escape from the main group in Fengguan Village without anyone noticing, so he must have similar skills.
Seeing them get off the elevator, Wen Shi hurried to follow. His tail was wagging like a puppy, and he took the initiative to ask, "What do you need me to do?"
The two were silent, and finally Tian Wanling said, "You, the adult version of a fire-collecting doll, should stay here."
The elevator door opened, and as they were about to walk in, Wen Shi suddenly said, "Don't do anything stupid."
Tian Wanling stopped suddenly.
Wen Shi returned to the huge French window and looked at the place where the firefight had broken out. "This segment is called life-snatching and soul-stealing. It has nothing to do with the people who care about us."
It's just a chase, and the game doesn't waste any effort in building virtual characters that care about them.
Tian Wanling wasn't exactly courageous, and she was injured. She obviously had other reasons for going down there. When the host introduced the cause of death, her only immediate reaction was to ask if it was true that people could become ghosts after death. Wen Shi probably knew what she was thinking.
When entering the elevator, Tian Wanling was a little dazed, and it was Ji Yuanzhi who pressed the door closing button.
Tian Wanling laughed at herself: "My mother died of heavy bleeding while giving birth to me."
She had thought about trying to find the other person in this city.
Ji Yuanzhi did not say anything to comfort her. When he thought of the four words "live towards death", his eyes darkened.
Some skills can be used in combination, like Ghost Wall and Missile, the power of one plus one is far greater than the power of two.
The two of them worked together to capture an enemy alive, and put a fire-collecting doll on the enemy to attract fire and use it as a shield.
While others are working hard, Wen Shi sits back and relaxes.
He was studying the wings of Big Eyeball. Monsters cannot leave the game at will, and this body is probably unusable after leaving the copy. Wen Shi couldn't help but think of Tian Wanling's [Fabric Art] skill, wondering if Big Eyeball can possess the doll.
Grabbing the little wings, Wen Shi whispered two words into the scarecrow's ear in a very low voice.
The scarecrow's breath floated on his face, and he went from being shy at first to having a serious look in his big eyes when Wen Shi finished speaking.
"Can you do it?" Wen Shi asked with a smile.
The scarecrow lowered his head, indicating that everything was left to it.
"Attention, there are three minutes left until this life-threatening time."
The system suddenly sent a prompt.
Wen Shi stretched his arms and legs and began to walk downstairs, ready to meet up with the program crew.
At this point, the surviving resurrected beings basically no longer pose a threat.
The players all began to move towards the hearse one after another.
Sun Geng picked up the dice. It was the only object unaffected by the explosion, not even a speck of black ash visible on its surface. Tian Wanling's experience with dice-throwing had taught him that the outcome depended on the player's initial luck, and that lucky items offered little in the way of boosting their luck.
He threw it directly into the air and hit a [4].
As the second hearse did not arrive for a long time, the player resigned himself to his fate and got into the broken car.
The bloody smell in the air was completely covered by the smell of gunpowder. All the windows of the hearse, including the sturdy windshield, were shattered, and the outside of the car was dark.
Sun Geng took a quick look and saw that the seats were covered with broken glass, so he had no choice but to settle for the upright armrests.
"Where's the host? Is he still there?" He originally wanted to guess from the host's expression whether they would encounter danger at the next stop, but the staff of the program crew were all blackened by the explosion, and the cameras carried by the camera crew were gone. At a glance, he couldn't tell who was who.
In a pile of charcoal, the host was so angry that his eyes twitched.
The hearse, without its doors, was back on the road.
The damage to the external structure did not affect its takeoff at all. When it accelerated, the wind blowing from all directions distorted the people's faces.
Wen Shi's body transformation time was up again, but he didn't continue for the time being. After losing the support of his tail, he clung to the long pole tightly.
"Bad review," the wind blew into his mouth, making a gurgling noise, and Wen Shi's cheeks were almost blown like a hamster, "Definitely a bad review..."
He hated this drifting hearse!
Everyone felt the same, but couldn't even open their mouths to curse.
The aftereffects of the explosion had not yet subsided. After the hearse sped off 800 kilometers, the first thing the player did was to find a place to rest. Only after feeling a little better did he pay attention to what was at this stop.
The cold wind blew the fallen leaves into the air, and there was nothing there.
"Great, it's a safe zone." Sun Geng showed a deliberate smile.
"…"
Wen Shi tentatively asked, "How about we take a break?"
Anyway, it took more than twenty hours in total and they had already covered most of the distance, so there was no need to rush.
That hearse is really not for human beings to ride in.
"Agree!" Everyone, including Sun Geng, answered almost in unison.
Across the street was Green Park. As everyone was about to go there and find a bench to sit down, the hearse suddenly started whirring.
Voice.
The explosion didn't take the car away, so the possibility of a malfunction was low. It was more like a silent urging for the players to hurry up and get on board. Seeing that they didn't move, the decibel level increased.
Wen Shi was silent for a moment: "This car has quite a bit of character."
As he spoke, his legs felt like they were filled with lead and he slowly got back into the car.
Zhou Lulu: "Wait a moment."
She hasn't rolled the dice yet.
Ten seconds later, Zhou Lulu threw a [1 Wen Shi and gave a thumbs up: "Well done."
The compliment was completely genuine, indicating they only had to take one stop.
The hearse sped towards its destination at lightning speed, and the area ahead was still a safe zone.
After one round, the dice came to Wen Shi's hand again. Without any surprise, he closed his eyes and threw out [6].
Human potential is limitless, and he was almost getting used to the lightning-fast feeling of the hearse. Wen Shi clung to the front pole, and before the car even reached the station, he saw a large pink heart-shaped gift box on the ground in front.
Every time they arrived at a destination, there would be corresponding punishment or reward. They had seen punishments and safe zones, but this was the first time they had encountered rewards.
Liu Yun suddenly completely believed what Wen Shi said when he was running for captain in the big factory. His skill was "Lucky Star". This is no longer Lucky Star, it should be renamed as Sky Full of Stars.
There was no trace of excitement on Wen Shi's face. He got out of the car and untied the bow on the love gift box, revealing six smartphones inside.
Crazy Dice is a collective task, and the rewards or punishments along the way are carried out for all players.
Everyone had a cell phone in their hands, and they looked at each other and turned on their phones at the same time.
[Group Task: Draw a circle and love you so much
Please enter the "I Love You" app within fifteen minutes, start from the university town, and run out a heart-shaped track to express your love for your paired guests.
The greater your love, the greater the final reward~]
The missions with skull levels are not only bloody but also have no rewards. This time, it is just the opposite. The mission is almost not difficult and seems to be given for free.
The university town was not far from here, and everyone rushed over as quickly as possible while opening the software.
The interface design of the "Love You" app is very vulgar. When you open the screen, you see a rabbit drawing hearts crazily, and the screen is full of pink bubbles. After enduring these three seconds of uncomfortable images, the software automatically enters the running map.
Zhou Lulu tied her hair up to make it easier to run.
Tian Wanling said quietly, "I really envy you for still having hair."
Looking at her head with the entire scalp shaved off, Zhou Lulu couldn't think of any words of comfort.
Zhou Lulu tied her hair up but did not run away immediately. When she looked sideways at Wen, she felt a strong sense of incongruity.
The game definitely cannot be considered to be kind to this player, otherwise it would not have thrown him into the advanced dungeon one after another. From this point of view, the lucky feedback Pei Wenwei received while rolling the dice seemed very strange.
Wen Shi met her gaze and smiled, saying, "The mission keeps mentioning the paired guest, but since we entered the mirage, there's been no sign of the paired guest."
He turned to look at the production crew following behind him, his gaze focused on the host: "Dear, you've emphasized twice that everything in the mirage is related to life and death."
Every time the smile on the host's lips appears for a short while, it will gradually disappear because of someone.
Wen Shi: "I heard an interesting piece of news from the backup group at the ghost market. Ordinary monster villagers are not qualified to go to the ghost gate unless they can find a scapegoat."
Halfway through his words, the host's eyes turned cold.
At the same time, when the player looked down and saw the software called "I love you to death", his scalp went numb.
This is a living psychological trap, which uses Pei Wenwei's apparent luck to make them subconsciously associate him with the word luck. When Pei Wenwei shakes the reward, no one goes back to question it, and some even think it is their due.
Wen Shi sneered after saying this: "Why are you still hiding in the dark? At least come out and see the light."
Around
Silence.
Don't even give Wen Shi face?
The big eyeball couldn't bear it. Although the scarecrow's strength was limited after shrinking, its eyes played a significant role. It flew to the corner of the intersection and accurately found a matching guest hiding there, ready to assassinate the player.
Ji Yuanzhi took out his prop telescope and shook his head: "Someone is preparing to drop objects from a high altitude three hundred meters away."
Since the beginning of the dating show, the paired guests have been trying to assassinate the players and find a scapegoat.
This is what being a special guest means to them. Holding hands means that both parties become one, you are in me and I am in you.
Zhou Lulu sneered, "No wonder every time one of us is eliminated, the paired guest disappears soon after."
It turned out that they all found scapegoats and ran to the ghost gate.
The key to this part is to catch the enemy by surprise. If the players let their guard down, they can at least successfully assassinate one or two people. Now that they are prepared, the danger is greatly reduced.
"If we all run together, we can take care of each other." Ji Yuanzhi looked at Wen Shi and said, "You lead the way."
Fortunately, he is not in cat form now, otherwise Wen Shi would definitely get angry: "Why?"
It was clearly he who provided the important clues, and compared to these veteran players, he was so weak.
Ji Yuanzhi took him to the glass window without saying a word.
In the blurry virtual image, Wen Shi was wearing an explosion-proof suit and a helmet on his head. He also got himself two heart-protecting goggles, maintaining the image of being fully armed to the extreme from the previous round of the game.
Wen Shi was silent for two seconds. He deserved to be the leader.
The six-member team set off running.
The one in the front is invulnerable to swords and guns, the one in the middle can see in all directions, Liu Yun in the back is holding a whip to prevent sneak attacks, and there is a scarecrow in the sky to give information. The whole combination forms an egg that not even a fly can bite into.
The pairing guest hiding in the dark was almost furious. Are they so shameless?
After following them all the way, they couldn't find any opportunity to strike. The paired guests felt that they had to do something, and one of them jumped out and started cursing: "Aren't you guys going a bit too far? #￥%#..."
Just as he swore two dirty words, Wen Shi shot him a cold look.
After spending the past two days together, the paired guests were still a little afraid of him, shrinking their necks and saying, "How much? Just give me a base..."
"Crazy Love Season" has been aired for so many episodes, why is it so easy for others to find scapegoats, but it is harder than climbing to the sky for them?
With so many players present, Wen Shi didn't need to concentrate on dealing with sneak attacks. He focused on other things. When he turned his gaze to the production team, he happened to meet Ji Yuanzhi's eyes. His gaze lingered for two seconds, and Wen Shi quietly pointed upwards, his eyebrows raised.
The dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the distance they had traveled became clear and bright. The fires in the distant city had gone out, and the shattered skyscrapers were rising again.
Ji Yuanzhi nodded slightly.
After successfully completing a Love Route, the system will notify you of the task completion:
"The collective task of drawing a circle and loving you to death has been completed."
"All players can advance to the 521st heart line!"
The rewards the game hands out are very practical, equivalent to a safe throw.
With the remaining distance, as long as they throw another six, they can get out of Tianhai City!
When Ji Yuanzhi picked up the dice, Zhou Lulu noticed that he hadn't used the Luck Boost item this time, and she couldn't help but wonder. While the item wasn't very useful, it was better than nothing. There was no point skimping on it at such a crucial moment.
While she was wondering, Ji Yuanzhi had already thrown the dice, [3].
I don't know if the hearse had a change of heart, but its speed finally returned to normal. God knows, every time it speeds, what is more uncomfortable than motion sickness is the cold wind that causes people's temperature to drop sharply. The players' hands are still cold now.
Now that they are driving in a humane way, they are even in the mood to appreciate the scenery outside through the windows without glass.
Someone sighed, "Finally we've passed the old town."
They were only a short distance away from returning to the place where they first pushed the door open.
The car suddenly shook violently.
Come again?
Just when the player thought the hearse was going to speed up, he discovered that this was not the case. The high-rise buildings on both sides and the neon lights on the street all shook.
The earthquake lasted only three seconds. After it ended, rows of fish-scale-like windows in the high-rise buildings opened wide, and beams of light from nowhere shone on them, forming a strong reflection. Starting from the high-rise buildings, the puddles on the ground, the old bulbs of the street lamps, the shop windows... all the shiny surfaces were reflecting some kind of mysterious beam of light. Thousands of lights gathered together and were cast into the distant sky.
A long rainbow pierced the sun, and the sky light poured down for thousands of miles, finally condensing into a water curtain, which was displayed at the end of the city like a projection.
Tianhai City is also inside the water curtain.
The same streets, even the hearse moving along was the same.
The players felt like they were looking at a mirage, except the image was much clearer than a mirage. The image zoomed in, finally focusing on the hearse. Excluding the production crew, the number of people on the hearse within the water curtain was exactly the same as the number of players at the moment.
"Mom?!" Zhou Lulu's relaxed expression was the first to freeze.
The hearse opposite seemed to be equipped with surveillance cameras, and everyone's every move could be seen very clearly.
Liu Yun's expression changed: "My sister is here too."
Not only them, every player has someone close to them on it.
Wen Shi also saw A Sang sitting alone in the last row holding a bowl.
The hearse on this side was moving, and the hearse in the mirage was also moving, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
The hearse stopped at the mark 6,521.
The player stood still on the car, and the host gave a warm reminder, saying excitedly: "It's time to get off the car and throw the dice."
The ratings of the show finally went up again, and the number of viewers now is no less than when watching the Wen Shi Arena match!
The players still didn't take a step, but the host was very nice this time and his smile was infinitely wider.
The hearse shook violently, driving the passengers away.
The dark clouds in the sky completely dissipated, and the sky was clear and blue, just like the curtain of water in front.
The production team handed the dice to Liu Yun, but she clenched her fist and didn't take it. After a moment of distraction, she thought of the couplet on the door and muttered, "Those who leave this door will live, those who enter this door will die..."
After circling once, they returned to the original place, which was also the starting point. As their hearse went out, the hearse over there came in.
The door of death is exchanged for the door of life. It is not about living towards death, but about exchanging death for life.
"It's time to roll the dice." The host's chilly voice floated over and repeated it again.
The drone descended and finally captured the most worthwhile sight besides motion sickness: the desperate expression of the special guest, which deeply delighted the audience in front of the small TV.
While Liu Yun was stunned, a hand suddenly reached out in front of her and took the dice.
Liu Yun suddenly woke up and looked up to see Wen Shi throwing dice and grabbing his arm: "What are you going to do?"
Wen Shi said calmly: "The number plate has disappeared."
Liu Yun lowered her head and found that the number on her chest had disappeared, which meant that anyone could roll the dice from then on.
She wanted to stop it, and not only her, but the players next to her also wanted to stop Wen Shi, but they were stopped by the staff.
The staff who seemed easy to bully and were easily thrown out of the death gate before, now have great strength, showing the special power of monsters when they are not controlled by rules.
The host smiled and said, "Please don't be so extreme, guest. Don't forget the name here."
Mirage.
"Look, haven't the bombed buildings been restored?" the host hinted, implying that everything was fake. "Also, at a normal speed, no matter how fast you drive, you can't get back to the starting point in a few hours."
Illusion and Reality
Combined, Mirage can do anything.
"It's not fake!" Liu Yun said almost incoherently as she looked at Wen Shi who was about to roll the dice. "I was going to come in with my sister, but she inexplicably received a system message that banned her from the dungeon for four days."
She had never understood why the game restricted Liu Yuan from playing the game, but now she finally realized the problem.
Sun Geng looked at the trembling old man in the water curtain, his voice trembling, "Yes, it's real." Then he said, "That child, the child you call son, he can't be fake."
The host repeatedly emphasized that everything in the mirage was related to life and death. Why would the program team be so kind as to reveal the topic for no reason? This was almost a clear sign of the ghost gate, and it couldn't escape the proposition of life and death.
"The guests this time all seem a bit irritable." The host walked over to the players who had been silent for a while and began by interviewing Zhou Lulu. "Could you share with the audience how you're feeling right now?"
Zhou Lulu pressed her lips tightly into a straight line, trying hard not to let her true feelings show.
The host craned his neck to look around. "Who's your relative? Oh, that middle-aged woman, right?"
He has read the blind date information of all the guests, which actually includes not only the virtual world but also the real world.
Inside the water curtain hearse, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron and holding a kitchen knife had just been cooking at home, clearly confused. A girl with features resembling Liu Yun seemed to be saying something to her. Suddenly, the middle-aged woman saw her daughter. Still bewildered, she immediately stood by the back door post, knife in hand.
Zhou Lulu closed her eyes.
There is a STOP button for passengers on the rear door post. Generally, the driver can stop the car by pressing it.
The game must have told their close ones all the rules, at least the life and death gates, and how to park the car, otherwise her mother would not have reacted that way.
The others had also figured this out: the passengers on the other side could stop the car at any time, and correspondingly, the people on this side would never be able to leave. The middle-aged woman might not have believed it at first, but when she saw Zhou Lulu, even though she didn't understand anything, she instinctively made the decision that was best for Zhou Lulu: not letting anyone touch the emergency stop button.
The lack of an answer did not affect the ratings. The host observed their micro-expressions with satisfaction, and finally his sharp gaze was fixed on Wen Shi who was holding the dice.
He smiled and asked, "What about you? Do you still want to throw?"
