Chapter 208
What the hell just happened?
Why me?
What did you people do behind my back?
But the red light had already enveloped his entire body, and one malevolent ghost after another swiftly dragged him away.
The horrifying sight and their icy touch drove No. 3’s screams beyond the limits of what his body should have been capable of.
Twenty minutes after the game began, the first announcement finally arrived.
Good Faction players remaining: 36.
Mole survivors: four.
Seer status: alive.
The mechanical voice rang in everyone’s ears.
Everyone froze when they heard the announcement.
Only thirty-six people were left?
Holy shit!
A flicker of delight flashed through Nie Min’s eyes, though his face remained full of anxiety.
“Everyone, hurry up! Once we’re done searching this floor, we’ll head to the fourth floor!”
The ones who had gone out of their way to court death had already been eliminated. Most of those who remained knew what they shouldn’t touch.
But Boss Zhang loved hiding danger in inconspicuous places.
For example, the moment No. 7 opened a door, an enormous spider dropped from the ceiling.
Its web plastered itself all over No. 7, leaving them helpless to do anything but watch as the spider dragged them inside.
Then there was No. 22, who cautiously opened another door.
They crept toward the hospital bed, only for a hand to reach out from beneath it and drag them into the abyss.
Rooms containing clues were few and far between. Most places concealed nothing but danger.
Nie Min was doing exceptionally well impersonating the Seer.
Under his direction, their numbers steadily dwindled.
At last, the entire third floor had been searched, and Nie Min had no choice but to lead the group toward the fourth floor.
The fourth floor was still filled with patient rooms, though everything looked more upscale.
Most surfaces were made of soft plastic, clearly intended to protect critically ill patients from injuring themselves.
Faced with room after room, the group skillfully split into teams to search for clues.
Meanwhile, on the fifth floor, all the players still there had gathered outside Room 503.
“I’m opening it, then?”
“Do it. A place that needs a key to open should be safe!”
The man holding the key wiped the sweat from his palms, then slowly pushed the door open.
In the blink of an eye, the doctor charged straight toward them.
“Close the door! Hurry! I’m the Seer! No. 18 downstairs is a Mole!”
He spoke at a breakneck pace and moved just as quickly. Almost instantly, he reached the doorway and slammed the door shut.
Only after the doctor stopped did the group get a clear look at him. The number 0 was plainly marked on his body.
“You’re really the Seer?”
“I am! No. 3, No. 18, No. 51, and No. 70 all have the Mole role!”
But the doctor’s words did nothing to dispel their suspicions.
“You’re saying No. 3 is a Mole?”
“Yes! No. 3!”
“Then explain why No. 18 eliminated his own teammate.”
The doctor’s voice faltered, and he froze.
No, I’m the real Seer!
How thoroughly did he brainwash you people?!
Everyone knew the hardest part of Werewolf wasn’t identifying the werewolves. It was convincing the innocent players to believe you.
The doctor gritted his teeth. “Have you ever seen a werewolf who needed you to rescue him first?”
That snapped the group to their senses.
Right!
Given Boss Zhang’s personality, there was no way he would simply hand them the Seer!
If that was the case…
A chill instantly surged through their hearts.
But no one noticed No. 70 quietly approaching another door.
He yanked it open!
The creature that had terrorized the entire fifth floor appeared before them once again.
Taking advantage of that brief moment, No. 70 darted into the room and slammed the door shut behind him.
The doctor saw the figure charging straight at him and broke into the fastest sprint of his life.
“Run! What are you standing around for?”
The crowd, now reduced to a tiny fraction of its original size, charged down the stairs.
A group on the fourth floor was still searching the rooms when the sound of footsteps behind them caught their attention.
The moment they turned around, their pounding hearts skipped a beat.
“You have got to be fucking kidding me!”
“Fuck! Don’t run this way!”
“Get the hell away from us!”
Their screams and wails echoed through the entire corridor, but the two groups had already crashed into each other.
The humanoid killing machine immediately began its slaughter.
Meanwhile, No. 70 was also plunged into despair.
The room wasn’t empty as he had imagined. Spiders with human heads dangling from them stared at him with unblinking eyes.
Three seconds later, the room fell silent once more.
The massacre on the fourth floor came to an end two minutes later.
In Room 501, No. 66, who was still combing his hair, suddenly froze.
Everything before him slowly faded away, and the word VICTORY flashed into view.
When he returned to reality, Zhang Bei handed him a small trophy.
“Congratulations!”
No. 66 looked around in confusion. Of all the participants in the Hundred-Person Battle, he was the only one still conscious.
More than ninety people had passed out. With their safety belts still fastened, their limp bodies were left hanging in kneeling positions.
The sight was extraordinarily striking.
Professor Yao hurried over with a cart, lugging an entire case of Suxiao Jiuxin Wan.
The moment he saw the scene before him, his footsteps unconsciously slowed.
At long last, the boss had finally seen the light!
This was exactly the kind of attraction they should focus on researching from now on!
What a sight. Whew-what a rush!
Only after savoring the spectacle for several seconds did he begin checking the visitors one by one.
After handing over the prize, Zhang Bei lay down on a nearby chair.
Today was a good day. With so many visitors sending him their “blessings,” all those facilities at the water park, and Werewolf on top of that, surely he could draw at least something useful, right?
After several minutes of drawing rewards, a long list appeared before him.
[Space Alloy Technology: The primary material used in spacecraft.]
[Stellar Mining Technology: Prerequisite: Space Steel.]
[Microsatellite Launch Technology: Essential for space travel.]
[Upgraded Suxiao Jiuxin Wan Formula and production line.]
Zhang Bei felt none of the joy he had imagined. A massive volume of information flooded violently into his mind.
The intense pressure and pain forced him to grit his teeth.
It took a full five minutes before the pain finally eased a little.
Zhang Bei let out a long breath and began reviewing the information.
There was no need to think too hard about the first three. Once the Island was completed, he would hand them straight to Guan Guo in preparation for the Sky Tourism Project.
Zhang Bei’s attention was entirely focused on the Suxiao Jiuxin Wan.
The upgraded version provided by the System was far superior to the kind currently purchased by the Amusement Park.
Not only could it relieve strain on the heart, but it could also soothe the patient’s emotions to a certain extent.
No matter how thoroughly someone had passed out, they were guaranteed to wake up within five minutes!
If visitors spent less time unconscious, wouldn’t that mean they could spend more time playing?
This was an across-the-board upgrade!
With that thought, Zhang Bei ignored the lingering ache in his head and immediately called Heizi.
The phone rang for a full thirty seconds before someone finally answered.
“Rat-a-tat-tat-boom!”
Before Zhang Bei could speak, the sound of intense gunfire erupted from the other end.
“What do you want?”
Listening to the explosions and gunfire in the background, Zhang Bei fell silent for a moment.
“Where are you?”
“Amazon Jungle. Catching a few mercenaries.”
