    [Player Xia Yihui, successfully loaded into Infinite Escape Novice Copy.]

    Xia Yihui was awakened by a loud ¡®boom¡¯ and opened his eyes violently, only to find that he was stiff and unable to move.

    The voice methodically continued to read.

    Xia Yihui¡¯s brain was still in a daze as he turned his head with difficulty and surveyed his surroundings.

    This was a one-room bed and breakfast. The construction was very strange, it had no independent bathroom or kitchen, the living room didn¡¯t even have furniture, the whole hall was empty, like a new house that hadn¡¯t been decorated.

    The door to the bedroom was right behind him, less than three meters away from him.

    Directly across from him was the front door of the house, which was hidden and couldn¡¯t be seen outside. There was also a large freezer sitting against half of the door, making it impossible for the door to be opened smoothly.

    [Loading 62% ¡­¡­]

    ¡°Wait!¡± Xia Yihui suppressed the fear in his heart and said aggressively, ¡°Are you a terrorist sent by another country? Do you know that the kidnapping of scientific personnel is illegal, I will retain all my rights to appeal, if you don¡¯t immediately stop what you are doing now, I will see you in the military court!¡±

    If it was really a terrorist, hearing Xia Yihui¡¯s words would have been made it  restrained. But he didn¡¯t know where this electronic voice came from, it seemed to be just a recording with no actual thinking ability, so, unable to understand the meaning of Xia Yihui¡¯s words. It continued.

    [Loading 78% ¡­¡­]

    ¡±Damn!¡± Xia Yihui was shocked and angry.

    He remembered that he had entered a research team last month, and in the middle of the research, the whole research base was attacked by terrorists. While carrying out the transfer, he was injured by a blast.

    In the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, he heard the doctor say that he had become a vegetable and would never wake up.

    So what was going on now? How did he wake up again? Could this electronic voice be the terrorist that caused it?

    [After loading is completed, the players will put in the copy for the first time. At the moment of life and death, the official of Unlimited Escape reminds all players to be vigilant from now on. ¡¿

    [The official of Unlimited Escape is not responsible for the zero endurance value caused by the player¡¯s unresponsiveness. ¡¿

    ¡°Players? Could it be that my fellow scientists have been kidnapped? And what the hell is Unlimited Escape, the terrorists are really strange ¡­¡­¡±

    Xia Yihui tried to move his body, his upper body could barely move twice and his lower body was as steady as a mountain.

    Even though the current situation was very strange, Xia Yihui still couldn¡¯t help cursing: ¡°As a man, how can only my upper body be cured, such cruel terrorists.¡±

    [Loading degree 100%, player Xia Yihui has been successfully put into the game! For this novice copy, if the player can persist in the attack of the reptilian creatures for 5 minutes, you will successfully pass!]

    ¡¾The longer you hold out, the richer the experience value under the same level will be. In addition to this there are various hidden subplots that players are invited to discover on their own! Enjoy the game!]

    Just a second after the mechanic voice stopped speaking, it felt like a play button had been pressed, from absolute stillness to the passage of time as usual.

    Xia Yihui wanted to ask what the reptilian creatures were, but a loud ¡®bang¡¯ on the door interrupted him.

    It was that sound that woke him up in the first place. As Xia Yihui turned his head to look over, his heart began to beat violently, as if it was about to beat out of his chest.

    Outside the door was a bloody monstrous beast, it seemed like a fire hydrant was in its head, the monster¡¯s face was almost split in half, its eyes were hanging on the edge of the hydrant.

    It wasn¡¯t clear through the tiny doorway, but the cold light of the beast¡¯s eerie eyes and the dripping sound was enough to make him dizzy and chest tight.

    Xia Yihui was almost certain that it definitely didn¡¯t exist in reality. He was engaged in this area of research, if this kind of deformity existed, he would  definitely be the first to get the information.

    Xia Yihui twisted his head to dry heave, the salty smell in the air rushed straight into his nose.

    The reptilian creature seemed more excited after hearing the sound of a living person inside the house. The door was smashed with a loud ¡®bang¡¯. If not for the heavy freezer that blocked half of the door, the creature would have entered the house directly to eat Xia Yihui.

    If he was fully functioning, his approach would be to move the freezer, blocking the door completely, so that the creature couldn¡¯t enter.

    But Xia Yihui¡¯s body still had residual signs of his vegetative state. At this time, his lower body was completely immobile, if he tried approaching the door, before touching the freezer, the creature would have crashed the door open.

    That would be sending himself to the creature¡¯s mouth.

    Xia Yihui didn¡¯t dare to delay more. He immediately twisted his body, and tried crawling forward on the ground to enter the bedroom. Once the bedroom door was locked, he should be able to hold on for five minutes.

    The closer he got to the bedroom door, the more ferocious the roar behind him became, the sound of the freezer being hit became even more vicious, as if it could fall apart at any time.

    Xia Yihui had never been so nervous, his thigh muscles began to gradually awaken.

    There was a loud bang behind him, and the door with the freezer was shattered. Xia Yihui looked back, his soul was nearly scared away.

    The creature had entered the living room, its deformed body twisted, sticky liquid stained the ground, the odor was fishy and disgusting.

    It was quite strong, when its claws hit the floor tiles, it left a small hole. The good thing was that this game wasn¡¯t to kill, so the speed of the creature wasn¡¯t  very fast, it was comparable to the normal walking speed of humans.

    But even if the creature was slow, it wasn¡¯t as slow as the half-paralyzed Xia Yihui.

    Seeing that the huge claw was about to fall on his head, Xia Yihui suddenly let out a small shout, and all his strength flocked to his thigh. He climbed up from the ground with a swish and quickly ran to the bedroom.

    The bedroom was dark, he turned around, locked, and pushed the desk next to the door against the door, in one fell swoop.

    Its food just ran away, it slammed into the door and roared angrily, but it still didn¡¯t help.

    Xia Yihui breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the door held, he would be able to muddle through for five minutes.

    He calmed down, fumbled with the room switch, and turned on the light.

    Snap¡­

    The moment the room lit up, Xia Yihui¡¯s smile froze, the blood in his body suddenly cooled down.

    Countless heavy breathing hit his eardrums. The room was filled with those creepy reptilian creatures staring eerily at Xia Yihui.

    At the same time, the electronic voice rang out.

    [This is a bedroom full of miscellaneous items, all the paraphernalia can be used, but it can¡¯t be taken out of the copy]

    [Newbie benefit, you will randomly get an initial skill.]

    [Your initial skill is freeze lv1. You can freeze any NPC in the copy for three seconds, the skill cooldown time is five minutes.]

    [The weak point of the reptilian creature is three inches from the neck, two minutes and forty-three seconds left until clearance.]

    Xia Yihui looked around. The bedroom was like a junkyard, with nowhere to put his feet.

    Roughly, there were about nine creatures in the house, far from the door, the nearest one should take about twenty seconds to climb over.

    There was a window directly across the street, but it was clearly not a way of escape. Through the transparent window he could see the street on the first floor, and monstrous creatures covered the entire street.

    Xia Yihui¡¯s mind raced. According to the current clues, if he fought with these creatures, obviously he would end up dead.

    The most secure method at present was to pick up a working tool in the house, open the door the moment he freezed the creature outside the door, quickly lock the door, and finish it while it still couldn¡¯t move.

    But this option was extremely dangerous. His skill cooldown time was five minutes, that was, once this door was opened, he would only have one chance.

    Success was victory, defeat ¡­¡­ was almost certainly death.

    As he was thinking, the creatures in the room had come close, less than a meter away, and the fishy smell was came close to his face. Xia Yihui hurried to the side to dodge, and rummaged through the clutter on the ground.

    Chargers, staplers, eyeglass cases, ballpoint pens, baseball caps, and even English-Chinese dictionaries.

    The ground was full of things, but none of them were offensive. Did he have to carry the English-Chinese dictionary to fight monsters? This game was too difficult!

    There was no time, nine creatures had gradually surrounded him, the one outside the door became more franctic, the door wouldn¡¯t hold for a long time.

    The more intense the situation became, the clearer Xia Yihui¡¯s mind was.

    Instead of wasting precious time on this piece of garbage, it would be better to ¡­¡­

    Xia Yihui¡¯s eyes became fierce, he wasn¡¯t a timid person, instead of hiding in a room full of garbage, waiting for garbage, it was better to go out and fight.

    Besides, going out wasn¡¯t necessarily a desperate situation, but then he remembered the creature outside the door with a fire hydrant stuck in its head.

    Xia Yihui pushed the desk away, without the resistance of the desk, the door shook shaking under the attack of the creature.

    He silently recited ¡°one, two, three¡±, then he immediately opened the bedroom door.

    An iron claw came head-on, a few centimeters from his head. Xia Yihui was agile, his body functions had fully recovered, he quickly turned around and locked the bedroom door, holding back the disgust in his heart, he kicked the creature, then tried to pull out the fire hydrant with his hand.

    With the eyes and brains, the putrid liquid flowed all over the place. Before the end of the three-second dead line, Xia Yihui couldn¡¯t easily pull out the hydrant, he hurriedly moved to the three inches below the creature¡¯s neck and hit it. The liquid splashed all over, almost making Xia Yihui throw up.

    The creature went limp and stopped moving. Xia Yihui quickly ran to the door of the living room and looked out, his scalp instantly went numb, the hallway was also full of those things.

    He hurriedly blocked the door with the freezer.

    The freezer was hit by the creatures, and the bedroom door was also rattling. Xia Yihui cowered in the living room, still a little confused about his situation.

    At that moment, the electronic voice rang out.

    [The Novice copy has ended. 9 billion players entered the copy game, 8.82 billion players remain, 180 million has been eliminated, elimination rate of 2%. Eliminated players will be repatriated to the real world by the end of the day, and promoted players will continue the Unlimited Escape Game.]

    ¡°The elimination rate is so low, only two out of 100 people didn¡¯t pass ¡­¡­ Are people not afraid of this kind of monster? If it weren¡¯t for my random skill giving me strength, I really might have died here.¡± Xia Yihui quietly wondered, could it be that when a crisis was at hand, everyone¡¯s desire to survive was extraordinarily strong?

    [Novice copy clearance experience points: 100. Congratulations on your promotion to level 2, live room function has been opened. Failed escape players can watch your live broadcast in the real world.]

    [10 Experience points for killing a reptilian creature. You currently have 110 experience, you still need 90 experience points to advance. Friendly reminder, level 3 players can open the store function.]

    [Now, please give your live stream a name.]

    Xia Yihui remembered the name of his game account and casually said: ¡°The Live broadcast room will be called Da Shen.¡±

    [Okay, player Xia Yihui. Your live room has been opened, the current number of viewers 0. May I ask if you need to go back to the recuperation space now?]

    Xia Yihui was shocked: ¡°Can I refuse to go back?¡±

    The electronic voice didn¡¯t answer, as if waiting patiently for his answer.

    Xia Yihui recalled what the electronic voice said at the very beginning: the longer you persist at the same level, the richer the experience value. In addition to this there are various hidden subplots that players need to discover on their own.

    In other words, the longer he stuck around and killed a few more creatures, the more experience he could get. When he returned to the recuperation space, he may even be able to open the store before anyone else, and the chances of winning would be much better then.

    Xia Yihui turned the fire hydrant in his hand, staring at the bedroom door that ¡®clanged¡¯, the corners of his lips curled with interest.

    So many biologically unexplained species, for a madman like him who was engaged in scientific research, this was heaven on earth!

    ¡°I¡¯m not going back.¡±

    [Okay, player Xia Yihui. You can stay in the Novice copy for ten minutes, after ten minutes, force teleportation will be used.]

    ¡¾Please always pay attention to your words and actions, from this now on, your live room ¡®Da Shen¡¯ is officially online.]

    Meanwhile, the 180 million people who failed to escape and were sent back to the real world were still confused. They opened the star network and followed the electronic voice¡¯s prompt to open the Unlimited Escape Live Platform, and nearly 9 billion live rooms went online.

    .

    For a while the home page was filled with flowery colors, and most of the live rooms were empty. The anchors that spent that difficult five minutes, nearly collapsed, most of them directly choose to return to recuperation space.

    Among them, the ¡®Da Shen¡¯ live room was quickly clicked.

    At this time, no one seemed to have realized. This live room with a strange name would take the whole star network by storm with devastating momentum in the future.

    And now, the anchor Xia Yihui, who had eyes from all over the world on him, was still eyeing the nine creatures in the house.

    Orange wine: what¡¯s the anchor doing?

    At this moment, Xia Yihui was carrying a fire hydrant, chiseling one small hole after another in the wall. On hearing the notification, he glanced at the comment and smiled, but he didn¡¯t respond.

    The viewer named orange wine became more curious.

    In the Novice copy just now, although Orange Wine was eliminated, his reaction was actually not slow, it could even be said to exceed most people.

    He had just entered the game, as soon as Orange Wine saw the creature enter the room, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the bedroom. But it was because his reaction was too fast, he didn¡¯t the nine creeping species, they immediately surrounded him.

    It was nine monsters, Orange Wine couldn¡¯t resist, and was eaten alive by them.

    After returning to the real world, he was chagrined, but he was still the first to gather his mood and log on to Starnet.

    Most of the live streams had already ended. Once the five minutes were up, these people chose to go back to the recuperation space and the live streams naturally closed.

    After looking down for a long time, only this live room named ¡®Ma Da Shen¡¯ was still lit up. With curiosity and a little disbelief, Orange Wine clicked on it.

    Once he came in and saw Xia Yihui¡¯s strange behavior, Orange Wine was a bit confused.

    He wasn¡¯t thinking of escaping, instead he was making holes in the wall?

    As Orange Wine pondered, Xia Yihui had already made the small holes in lthe wall. He used the fire hydrant chain and tied it to his back, to ensure that the hydrant was securely fixed on his body and wouldn¡¯t be thrown out.

    Next, Xia Yihui did something that completely stunned Orange Wine.

    ¨C He lifted the hydrant and smashed a very large hole in the bedroom door.

    With no other cover in the living room, he destroyed the only one left.

    Orange Wine was stunned, his fingers hit the keyboard, expressing his shock and confusion.

    Orange wine: Anchor, you¡¯re just killing yourself! I¡¯ve been in this bedroom and there are many creatures in it. Tsk. If it were up to me, there¡¯s no way I¡¯d open the door. How are you going to fight these monsters if they come out of that hole? You¡¯re being stupid!

    Just as the comment floated up, the head of the first crawling creature had already poked out of the hole.

    The sticky liquid dripped and scraped on the door, and an ear-piercing, scalp-tingling sound rang out.

    Orange wine immediately remembered the pain of being eaten alive. He didn¡¯t dare to look at this live room, he could even imagine Xia Yihui¡¯s blood-soaked misery.

    Orange wine let out a long sigh, feeling sorry for Xia Yihui. This person had already passed the level, but he had to choose death.

    He was about to exit the broadcast room when he saw that Xia Yihui¡¯s hands and feet were attached to the holes he had made, and his body climbed up the wall.

    Xia Yihui quickly climbed above the crawling creature, the fire hydrant on his back flipped down, directly hitting the neck of the creature, immediately k!lling it.

    Xia Yihui pulled back the hydrant chain, quietly waiting for the arrival of the second creature.

    Orange wine was dumbfounded. Huh? What was going on? What just happened?!

    His hand moved towards the keyboard, he was ready to ask, but Xia Yihui quickly dealt with the second crawling creature.

    In this way, one by one, the crawling species climbed through the hole and were killed. Like he was playing ¡®whack-a-mole¡¯ Xia Yihui accurately hit the weak spots of the creatures.

    Nine crawling species were solved in turn, Xia Yihui glanced at the comment section, shrugged and smiled innocently. He crouched down and looked at the crawling creatures on the ground, his eyes gradually lit up.

    Orange wine, however, still didn¡¯t react, and when he returned to his senses with difficulty and saw Xia Yihui¡¯s eyes, he suddenly got a cold chill all over. God, why was this anchor¡¯s eyes more frightening than those things ah!

    Next, Orange wine was once again shocked by Xia Yihui.

    He raised the fire hydrant, and began to smash the creatures one after another, and then went to the bedroom and came out with gloves, picking through the pile of broken meat, he constantly spoke to himself as he moved.

    Curious, Orange wine cranked up the sound.

    ¡±Well ¡­¡­ this is the liver, this is the heart, tsk, the monster¡¯s heart actually grows in the neck three inches under the skin, no wonder this is the fatal weak point ¡­¡­ hahaha, if only there was a knife. Dissecting this kind of monster would be fulfilling ah!¡±

    Orange wine suddenly plunged into deep self-doubt. He wondered if the Anchor¡¯s mind had been distorted by the game, otherwise how could he say such scary words.

    After observing Xia Yihui¡¯s technique for a while, all doubts were converted into awe.

    Xia Yihui¡¯s movements were extremely smooth.

    He was obviously a professional.

    Orange wine was about to comment, when the live room darkened.

    Ten minutes were up, Xia Yihui  returned to the recuperation space.

    After a long time, the interface suddenly showed a comment.

    Orange wine: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    *

    [Player Xia Yihui successfully passed the novice mode.]

    [Overtime mode get rewarded with money. The currency is for normal store transaction, for every second you hold on, the total value of the currency will be increased by 1, the longer you hold on, more will be added.]

    [From this novice copy of the overtime mode, you held on for a total of ten minutes, stacked bonus currency:  600.]

    ¡¾Killed nine creepy crawly species with 90 experience points. You currently have 200 experience points and have successfully advanced to level 3.]

    [The store function has been opened, player can browse the store.]

    After digesting this long list of words spoken by the electronic voice, Xia Yihui slightly turned his head and looked around.

    He was in an ordinary apartment, the apartment was furnished, there was a bed, a table, a TV and a computer, a paper with the WiFi password was posted on the wall.

    Strangely enough, this apartment had no doors, no windows, not even a bedroom or bathroom. All the furniture was placed in a living room, and the dining table and the toilet were actually placed face to face.

    Xia Yihui moved forward to sit on the sofa.

    But he quickly realised the fire hydrant was still hanging on his back.

    Xia Yihui felt it was a little strange. Then he remembered that the electronic voice said that everything in that bedroom couldn¡¯t be taken out, then why was the fire hydrant still with him?

    ¡°By the way, this fire hydrant was pulled from the crawling creature outside the bedroom ¡­¡­¡± Xia Yihui thought.

    That was to say, some tools in the copy, could be brought to the next copy, and some couldn¡¯t.

    He was lucky enough to pick up this fire hydrant that could be taken out of the copy.

    He wasn¡¯t sure if he would encounter ghosts in the next copy, but with this fire hydrant, at least he would have a layer of protection than those who had bare hands.

    With this thought, Xia Yihui finally relaxed.

    Knowing that there were many people who were worse off than him, he was relieved and began to survey the ¡®recuperation space¡¯ as the electronic voice put it.

    Walking around, Xia Yihui quickly observed the apartment.

    The room had wifi, but it didn¡¯t seem to be able to connect to the real world.

    There were only two functions of the computer, one was to enter the official forum of the Escape Game for discussion and a store.

    The TV was even more worse, there was only one channel, but it was blank.

    Xia Yihui clicked on the computer¡¯s ¡®store¡¯ option, three options emerged, respectively: Supplies, Weapons, Skills.

    Each option was clicked on, the supplies column only had three things.

    Milk: Anti-dehydration, can increase 10 points of stamina. Priced at 10/single item.

    Bread: Anti-hunger, can increase 10 points of stamina. Priced at 10/single item.

    Medicine: Anti-all negative status, including but not limited to excessive bleeding, infection, high fever, stamina. Can increase stamina by 50 points. Priced at 50/single.

    All three could increase stamina. Among the copies, the total value of stamina was 100, once it reached zero, the player would be eliminated.

    Xia Yihui tried the other two options.

    The weapons bar had a lot.

    Chargers, staplers, eyeglass cases, ballpoint pens, baseball caps, English-Chinese translation dictionaries.

    Looking at it, Xia Yihui glared, weren¡¯t these the things he had just seen in the copy?

    He slid the mouse down, indeed, the fire hydrant was listed, looking at the price, Xia Yihui swallowed, his eyes slowly reddened.

    [Fire hydrant: priced at 300/per piece. Note: Ever since the fire hydrant disappeared from East Lane Anwai High School, the school went into a complete frenzy and made a pact to find the bad boy who stole the fire hydrant, to the death, no matter what!]

    ¡°300 yuan a piece, I now have a total of 600 yuan. There are so many people who¡¯re worse off than I am, and those who went back after the five minutes mark, they don¡¯t have a penny. If I didn¡¯t think of a way to destroy those creatures one-by-one, I would be penniless. Now a hydrant is sold for 300, which translates to 30 loaves of bread! My God, this is simply robbery ah!¡±

    Having said that, Xia Yihui¡¯s heart jumped. He brought the fire hydrant back to the recuperation space, which was equivalent to saving 300 yuan.

    In Xia Yihui¡¯s world, to save money was to earn, how couldn¡¯t he be happy.

    He excitedly clicked on the skill bar to see what other treasures he had. Only to find that the skill bar was empty.

    ¡°Huh? No skills for sale?¡±

    After looking at the notes, Xia Yihui instantly understood.

    The skill bar would randomly add a skill at the end of each copy, each skill would be sold for 500 to the players.

    Once they chose to extract the skill, whether the final result was a godly skill or trash, or even a duplicate skill, it couldn¡¯t be returned.

    If he bought the skill, Xia Yihui would have a hundred left. With the fire hydrant, the expenses on weapons could be saved, but supplies had to be bought.

    He could only buy 10 loaves of bread and milk or two medicines for one hundred yuan. If it was converted, it would be 100 Stamina points.

    Although he didn¡¯t know what the next copy would be, this 100 stamina was definitely not enough.

    So in the end, did he want to choose a skill that he didn¡¯t know how to use, or did he want to choose stamina?

    He couldn¡¯t make up his mind. So Xia Yihui chose to go to the forum to observe and see the choices of other people who had money.

    As soon as he logged on to the Starnet forum, Xia Yihui was instantly blindsided. The forum posts were in various languages, English, French, German Japanese, everything. The posts were refreshed so quickly that Xia Yihui couldn¡¯t see any of them.

    He hurriedly clicked into the Asian section, selected China, and adjusted the keyword filter, then the posts were a little better, although there were still many, at least Xia Yihui could see clearly.

    He clicked into a post titled ¡®Asking the big guys, how did you all escape from the newbie copy?¡¯

    Luojiang L0: I really want to ask for advice. I feel that you are all gods. I was killed by those monsters in less than two minutes. They were so strong. 55555 ¡­

    [TN: 55555 ¡ª¨C boohoo]

    Meow L0: I also died instantly¡­¡­ I thought everyone was the same as me, who knew that the elimination rate was actually only 2%, are we the poor 2%?

    Roy L1: In fact, I¡¯m also more confused. I was on the toilet, and all of a sudden, I was thrown into an escape game, my first reaction was to close the door, and then I sat inside the living room for five minutes.

    Cold skin plus spicy L1: I¡¯m the same as the brother upstairs, I sat in confusion for five minutes, I didn¡¯t know what was hitting the door, damn, it really scared me.

    A party of heaven and earth L0: I was speechless. I woke up when the monster had already entered the house, there was no time to close the door. After the elimination, I watched your live room. Why did I wake up so much later than you?

    Big Pig L1: Upstairs, don¡¯t complain, my situation is worse than yours. You don¡¯t have to go through this again since you¡¯re eliminated, we¡¯re not the same! The thought of having to go through other more horrible scenarios afterwards makes me feel like life is dark.

    ¡­¡­

    After scanning some posts, many people closed the door as the first reaction, sat for five minutes and then were sent out. No wonder the elimination rate was so low.

    Of course, there were people who passed safe and sound, and chose to continue to stay in the copy to see if they could hold on for another ten minutes.

    At the fourth minute, the bedroom door was broken open. At the seventh minute, the living room door was broken open, and these people died immediately after the two-sided attack.

    But strangely enough, they were not eliminated, but passed through without any problems, only getting less currency than Xia Yihui.

    According to others, the first five minutes of the newbie copy had been really easy, and those who didn¡¯t pass were usually slow to react, ridiculously timid, or people like Xia Yihui who couldn¡¯t move because of physical illnesses.

    But after the extra ten minutes, the difficulty went directly up, it was almost impossible to endure the full ten minutes.

    Xia Yihui didn¡¯t have time to close the living room door at that time, when he walked to the door, it had already been shattered, and then he used the freezer against it, and managed to last ten minutes.

    Now it seemed that, according to the game settings, the door could last seven minutes, so the freezer was more than ten minutes.

    This showed that everything was possible inside the copy, the resources were there, it was up to the players. There were those who could even use ballpoint pens to easily kill the crawling species, and those who couldn¡¯t kill one even if they had a machine gun.

    ¡°Each account should be followed by the level, I am L3, that is, level 3, the forum is mostly filled with L0 to L2, so they didn¡¯t open the store.¡±

    Xia Yihui was silent. Other people¡¯s escape methods were simple, but the rewards were far less than his.

    This time, since they didn¡¯t have supplies and weapons, their advantage in the next copy would certainly be much smaller.

    By then, even if they passed, the things they got may be less, it was a vicious circle, a poor step was a poor step, no one could be sloppy.

    The newbie copy, although the elimination rate was only 2%, in fact, the level of players had been completely divided.

    Too many people on the forum were excited about passing the novice copy, but Xia Yihui was worried.

    Now he felt that he had a big advantage over these people, so was it possible that there were some people who had a bigger advantage than him in places he couldn¡¯t see?

    Now thinking about it, in the novice copy, everywhere was an opportunity.

    In the bedroom, in the hallway, next door¡¯s house, upstairs and downstairs, even on the street, was it only crawly species? No, those were all gold shiny currency ah!

    After browsing the forum again, Xia Yihui finally figured out what the live broadcast was for.

    He opened the page and typed in L2 in the search bar, and a clatter of live broadcast rooms appeared, each of which could be clicked on to watch the replay of the hosts¡¯ escape.

    The same was true of L3, and he even saw his own channel in it.

    Xia Yihui¡¯s expression immediately became solemn as he tried to type L4.

    [Your permission is not enough to see the replay of the escape of players higher than your level, after upgrading or elimination, you can watch it.]

    Xia Yihui had no choice but to retreat to watch what other S3 players were doing.

    According to the experience of other L4 and L5 posters in the forum, Xia Yihui was committed to finding his shortcomings and improving them so he wouldn¡¯t make the same mistakes again.

    At the last minute, Xia Yihui finally made up his mind and figured out what to do with the 600 currency.

    [You successfully purchased medicine x 1, bread x 2, milk x 3. 500 currency remaining.]

    [You have successfully extracted the skill: Scouting lv1. 0 currency left.]

    ¡¾In the game, you can call out the name of skills, props, and weapons you already hold, and Infinite Escape will be ready to provide them for you.]

    [The recuperation time has ended. 8.82 billion players will continue the game. Eliminated players can watch live on the Infinite Escape official website.]

    A flower appeared in front of him, and suddenly, he was no longer in the apartment.

    [Player Xia Yihui had successfully entered the Infinite Escape copy.]

    Now Xia Yihui was in a high school classroom-like place.

    The classroom was dark, and the darkness outside was so thick that he couldn¡¯t see anything.

    There were about fifty students sitting inside the classroom, and the students¡¯ uniforms were different. There were two colors, black and white. The black uniforms said science, and the white uniforms was for art students.

    The NPC teacher held up a stick and said in a serious voice: ¡°After the exam last week, I found that everyone¡¯s heart is gradually getting restless. The first exam is nothing, after the first exam, there is still the entrance examination ah! At this time, you can¡¯t relax, help each other, the results of the science and chemistry students were poor, go to the good students and ask for advice. If you can¡¯t do English, then go ask people who are good at English, the college entrance examination hasn¡¯t started, there¡¯s still time!¡±

    [This copy: Campus Gladiatorial Arena.]

    [Your high school is named East Lane Anwai High School, and you are an ordinary senior student of East Lane Anwai.]

    [Five days before the college entrance exam, every day East Lane Anwai will conduct a mock exam, and the exam will start at 0: 00 in the evening. Two hours before and after 0: 00, the live room function will be closed and the list will be temporarily closed.¡¿

    [In addition, in order to prevent students from cheating, the live room will be open 24/7 except those hours, giving the players absolute fairness.]

    The teacher continued his impassioned speech: ¡°In order to motivate everyone, the results of the first exam is on the display screen, showing only the top ten students¡¯ results. Work hard and try harder to get on that display, then the whole school will know you, isn¡¯t that wonderful?¡±

    The NPC was extremely realistic, and every smile was just like a normal living person, the teacher spoke with great pride, as if it was a great honor to be in the top ten.

    In addition to the teachers, there were probably NPCs among the students present.

    This kind of thing was unpredictable, unless the player¡¯s age clearly didn¡¯t match that of a high school student, it was impossible to tell the difference between a player and a real student.

    After hearing the teacher¡¯s words, everyone turned their heads to look out the window. A huge display appeared in the air out of nowhere.

    Xia Yihui followed and saw a familiar name at a glance.

    No.1

    Player: Zhang Qingyu

    Level: 7 (700)

    Subject: Science

    Coordinates: No. 10 teaching building 203 classroom

    Time left: 23 hours 57 minutes

    ¡°Oh my god, monsters? I¡¯m only level 1, how did that guy upgrade to level 7, he¡¯s horrible ¡­¡­ Huh? What¡¯s the time left?¡±

    Xia Yihui heard someone muttering in a low voice, he turned his head to look over, it was a youth with freckles on his face, the youth noticed Xia Yihui looking at him, he immediately became alert, his mouth pursed tightly.

    Xia Yihui turned back and continued to look at the huge leaderboard in the air. He obviously didn¡¯t know a Zhang Qingyu, but the name was familiar.

    He couldn¡¯t think about this now, Xia Yihui quickly put this matter to the back of his mind. He continued to look down the information of others.

    Watching, his pupils tightened, he subconsciously gripped the fire hydrant in his hand.

    No.10

    Player: Xia Yihui

    Level: 3 (300)

    Subject: Arts

    Coordinate: No.3 teaching building 403 classroom

    Time left: 24 hour

    At the same time, the electronic voice spoke again.

    [All players are taking the second exam. The color of the school uniform divides the arts and science students, and the watch you carry on your hand shows the remaining time.]

    [During the second exam, science students are set to be the hunters and arts students are the prey.]

    [If the hunter kills the prey, he can take over the remaining time of the other party.]

    [The preys¡¯ time has been frozen, they¡¯re not bothered by time, they just need to run away from the hunter.]

    ¡¾Either the hunter or the prey, once the watch time is at zero, they¡¯ll be immediately eliminated.]

    Xia Yihui grabbed the white school uniform that represented prey, he tried to take it off, but he couldn¡¯t.

    He quietly looked at his classmates, there were more than fifty people in the room, the black and white school uniforms were about 50-50.

    It was amazing that all of them were players, half hunters and half prey, no NPCs.

    Xia Yihui was stunned, this infinite escape game was really big.

    This copy, as far as it seemed, had at least ten thousand players.

    And the elimination rate wouldn¡¯t be as low as the newbie copy.

    There were still five days before the entrance exams, which meant that they had to go through five list row changes. For hunters to live, they had to grab the time of the prey.

    If every hunter player went to grab, then half of the prey would be eliminated, if not, then the hunters themselves would be eliminated.

    In any case, once the second exam was over, the elimination rate would be as high as 50%!

    The electronic voice was violently high, startling up all the players who were still confused.

    [There will be a final settlement before the exam, the higher the ranking, the more experience you get. In addition to that, for every additional day you stay in the copy, you will receive 100 currency. For each player eliminated, experience value will be issued according to the eliminated player¡¯s rank, L1 experience value 50, L2 experience value 100, and so on.]

    [The game will officially start when the countdown is over. Players, please pay attention, there isn¡¯t much time left!]

 CH 4

    Posted on January 13, 2022by UntamedS

    [Ten, nine, eight ¡­¡­ two, one.]

    ¡¾Countdown ends. Large-scale copy of the campus gladiatorial arena, has officially begun!]

    The sound of disorderly footsteps was heard from the corridor outside. As if many people were driven by something, they ran away in a panic.

    The classroom was still silent.

    Everyone looked left and right, and they were all at a loss. The hunters and their prey were well-behaved.

    They didn¡¯t know what to do.

    They just arrived, yet they were suddenly asked to k!ll each other, most of them were still in a dumbfounded state.

    ¡°How about we find something to defend ourselves?¡± Someone spoke up.

    The crowd of players woke up with a start. Although it wasn¡¯t quite clear how this copy was, picking up something to hold in their hands made them feel slightly better.

    Many people rummaged through the classroom and made use of all available resources, including compasses, tables and chairs, and erasers. Finally, even the podium was confiscated.

    ¡°D*mn, who can tell me how this blackboard eraser will hit people?¡±

    ¡°How about we remove the chair, and hold this piece of steel in the middle.¡±

    ¡°Oh my God, where can I find something to defend myself in this classroom, why don¡¯t we go out and take a look?¡±

    ¡°I just saw someone carrying a fire hydrant, it¡¯s definitely more solid than a steel bar ¡­ aye? Where¡¯s that young man just now? How can someone be gone in a blink of an eye? ¡±

    Liu Zite looked to the side and froze. He was the freckled young man Xia Yihui had seen.

    As the countdown started, Liu Zite saw a person sneaking out of the back door.

    At that time he subconsciously wanted to call that person, but the young man was holding a fire hydrant, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, but his eyes were cold and hard, scaring Liu Zite into silence.

    There was no shortage of people in the room, some players immediately saw that something was wrong with Liu Zite, and directly went forward to force out an answer.

    Liu Zite was dressed in a white liberal arts school uniform, he was a prey. As several black school uniform hunters surrounded him, his nervous legs and stomach shook, he hesitated again and again, before stammering out his guess.

    ¡°Just now when everyone was looking for tools, I went outside to look at our current class and it was classroom 403 in building three.¡±

    Someone was puzzled: ¡°So what?¡±

    Liu Zite pointed to the big screen outside and explained, ¡°The coordinates of that No.10 classmate Xia Yihui is classroom 403 on the 3rd floor.¡±

    The crowd was amazed and hurriedly looked at the huge display outside and looked at each other excitedly.

    ¡°Wow sh*t, it¡¯s true, so we are now in the same frame with the big players?!¡±

    ¡°What what? Who is Xia Yihui ah?¡±

    ¡°Are you stupid, it must be the little white guy who just ran away carrying the fire hydrant. Such little guts, he actually ran away, he¡¯s ranked No.10, see how this grandpa will squeeze him down hahaha ¡­¡­¡±

    ¡°That big guy is actually a liberal arts student, a prey ah! Level 3, if I take him, I can directly upgrade ¡­¡­ hahaha don¡¯t look at me like that, I¡¯m kidding.¡±

    ¡°Bully, he¡¯s level 3, I¡¯m only level 1, some people are more lucky than others ¡­¡­¡±

    In the few minutes they talked, the coordinates of Xia Yihui on the big screen was constantly changing, from Building 3 403 to 317 to 309, refreshing once every two minutes on average.

    ¡°What¡¯s he running for?¡± Someone wondered, ¡°Does he really think that people will comply with this shitty rule? It¡¯s against the law to kill someone ¡­¡­¡±

    Many people had the same doubts, the crowd watched as Xia Yihui¡¯s coordinates kept changing, then they laughed and sighed.

    Seeing everyone¡¯s expression, Liu Zite silently breathed a sigh of relief, he complained about Xia Yihui silently.

    It was Xia Yihui who snuck away, causing him to be suspected. They lived in a legal society, it was only a game, would anyone dare to k!ll someone?

    Liu Zite felt amused, he shook his head and muttered: ¡°Big brother is like this, he has no ability, just blind worry ¡­¡­¡±

    At the same time, in a place invisible to the crowd, East Lane Anwei had fallen into complete and utter madness.

    The reason, the legal system had completely collapsed, in the hearts of many people, it was as if time was better than everything.

    If the players present went out and look, they¡¯d be horrified to find that Xia Yihui hadn¡¯t been blindly worrying.

    If they didn¡¯t run, they wouldn¡¯t get away.

    ¡­¡­

    Eleven o¡¯clock at noon.

    The hunters only had 13 hours left.

    Xia Yihui quickly climbed the stairs.

    He saw a hunter standing on a prey. They must have been fighting fiercely, they both looked tired.

    The hunter¡¯s face was particularly ugly, like he has been in a dessert with no water for a long time, his lips were dry and cracked, the whites of his eyes were glazed, he seemed hysterical.

    He picked up the watch of the prey and placed it over his watch for a few seconds.

    With the beep of the watch, the hunter¡¯s face became ruddy, like he had drank a few mouthfuls of water, and he returned to his peak state.

    As for the prey who¡¯s time was stolen, his face quickly became gray and thin, he screamed in pain, ¡°Just wait, I¡¯ll go back and sue you! Harming people in broad daylight, is there no law anymore?!¡±

    The hunter threw the watch back on his prey and smiled cruelly, ¡°Law? In this copy, I am a hunter, this is the law!¡±

    Xia Yihui froze, then he turned around and ran back.

    The hunter was startled by the sound, he instantly recognized Xia Yihui: ¡°It¡¯s Xia Yihui! I see him, everyone, chase!¡±

    The hunters who heard the news ran upstairs with cheers, and with one turn, Xia Yihui¡¯s shadow was no longer visible. Everyone shook their heads and sighed, ¡°I can¡¯t believe he ran away again.¡±

    There were a total of six arts students in the top ten of the list, that was, six prey.

    They all worked together and took out three, they had run into the other two, one armed police and one special forces. It was hopeless, so they gave up.

    But No.10 Xia Yihui, he was slippery like a loach, obviously the coordinates would be updated every few minutes, but the strange thing was that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn¡¯t catch him.

    While depressed, the crowd also felt admiration. In this infinite escape game, sometimes it was useless to be able to fight, it was better to be able to hide.

    After talking about the odd man out in the eyes of the crowd, everyone decided not to chase after him, but to turn around and hunt other prey to get more time. First, to improve their security, and second, to stabilize their precarious stamina points.

    As the game dragged on, they finally figured out how to control the stamina points.

    Three meals a day, one missed meal would reduce ten points of stamina, if they didn¡¯t eat a day, the stamina value would be reduced by 30.

    And 50 was the passing line, if it fell below 50, they would look like the hunter just now, dehydrated, dizzy and disoriented.

    In addition to that, people also found that the decrease in watch time, lack of stamina, and too much bleeding would accelerate the decrease in stamina points.

    That was a very scary discovery.

    Many people got no currency from the last copy and couldn¡¯t afford to buy bread, milk, or medicine.

    Therefore the decline in stamina points was almost irreversible, now there was a fixed reduction of 30 stamina points day, if the watch time was reduced, maybe stamina points would also have additional deductions.

    This burden was simply unbearable for the players.

    They could clearly feel their bodies gradually deteriorating, their pace and breathing became visibly heavy, their eyelids felt like it weighed a million pounds, and they couldn¡¯t even hold it up.

    Maybe after a little while, they wouldn¡¯t be able to move, they would only die in place.

    Such psychological pressure was too terrible, apparently the hunters couldn¡¯t stand it, so their heart of reason collapsed, and they began to rob the time of the prey.

    It had been eleven hours since Xia Yihui sneaked out of 403.

    During this period he had been frantically running away without interruption, the campus was too big, and now he wasn¡¯t even sure which classroom or building he was in.

    At twelve o¡¯clock noon, Xia Yihui¡¯s stamina points decreased by 10. Plus after moving around for hours, his stamina points was now at 80.

    Xia Yihui hid in a dark corner somewhere in the teaching building, took out a piece of bread and two pieces of milk and ate it, pulling the stamina points back to 100.

    At present, he still had one medicine, two bottles of milk and one piece of bread left.

    The milk and bread added up to 30 stamina points, enough to last him another whole day. The medicine, on the other hand, would be for emergencies such as major injuries, it couldn¡¯t be used easily.

    While Xia Yihui was eating, a comment screen slipped through the live stream.

    In fact, there had always been a comment screen, when he started running for his life, Xia Yihui looked at the number of people in the live room, about twenty or so people. Later, he was busy running for his life, so he didn¡¯t seriously look, now that he was a little free, he glanced at it, the number of live room had risen to a hundred or so.

    Shattered peace: strange, why do I feel that people in this game can instantly recognize the anchor, obviously there is no photo on the list.

    Yang Juhua: From the infinite escape forum, What¡¯s the situation now? Why are you so useless, anchor?Stop running and fight, I want to pay attention!

    Flower: Gee, if I were there, I wouldn¡¯t be as stupid as the anchor. Obviously, it¡¯s most important to save my physical strength. In this case, just find a hidden place to hide. With the anchor¡¯s IQ, he¡¯d never survive five episodes of a horror film.

    Sister Meimei: Did you just say that the one you were hiding from was a hunter? The list updates the coordinates in real time, isn¡¯t hiding waiting for someone to catch you?

    Summer Sorrow Travel: Unlimited Escape Forum+1. Don¡¯t think about it. I came earlier than you. I watched the anchor run for more than ten hours. Don¡¯t talk about hunting others, the anchor can¡¯t even protect himself.

    Want to eat pickled fish: Don¡¯t say that. During this second copy, the anchor is the prey, he can¡¯t help it.

    Cheese Laoganma: The anchor is No. 10 on the list, how can the commenter be so stupid? You¡¯re all typing on your keyboard, when it was your turn, what did you do? You all got disqualified.

    Orange Wine: I¡¯m surprised, too. Anchor, the way you get recognised is weird. Everyone calls out your name whenever they see you.

    Xia Yihui ignored certain discordant comments, grinning: ¡°Well ¡­¡­ Being good-looking in an escape game also makes me a target, I am also helpless.¡±

    The comment screen was empty for a second, and suddenly ¡°vomit ~¡± emojis began to fill the screen.

    Xia Yihui was amused by the comments. After laughing, he also began to worry.

    Because the list revealed his coordinates, he had to move constantly, he had to keep moving to avoid hunters who followed the coordinates to k!ll him.

    Originally, with the two-minute refresh interval, he could more or less take a break. But strangely enough, no matter where he went, the hunters always recognized him precisely and then surrounded him with ill intent.

    Two fists couldn¡¯t defeat four hands, although he didn¡¯t understand, Xia Yihui didn¡¯t want to take the risk, and could only resign himself to his fate, he desperately fled.

    ¡°Pop¨C¡±

    At a corner, Xia Yihui collided with a speeding figure.

 CH 5

    Posted on January 25, 2022by UntamedS

    Both of them were thrown to the ground by the huge impact at the same time. Xia Yihui frowned, rubbed his butt*cks that almost fell in half, and looked at the youth who had bumped into him.

    The freckled youth on the other side screaming incessantly, as if he had been [email protected]

    Dealing with the same fall, Xia Yihui immediately got up without a word of complaint, while Liu Zite laid on the ground, completely unable to get up.

    Xia Yihui hesitantly glanced at Liu Zit, he finally estimated that he wasn¡¯t trying to take advantage of him.

    After crying out for half a day, Liu Zite was finally silent, and saw Xia Yihui, he was surprised and called out: ¡°Xia Yihui?¡±

    Xia Yihui was going to walk away, when he heard Liu Zite, he fiercely stopped in his tracks.

    It was just as well that the other was also a prey, there was no threat for the time being, Xia Yihui directly asked, ¡°How do you know my name?¡±

    Liu Zite¡¯s face paled. After more than ten hours, he had figured out this escape game, and likewise knew how ridiculous his previous thoughts were.

    Despite this, Liu Zite still didn¡¯t think highly of Xia Yihui.

    He and the youth in front of him were similar, he looked like he couldn¡¯t handle a shove, yet he was a Level 3 player.

    With a bit of inexplicable defiance, Liu Zite muttered in a low voice: ¡°Now the whole school knows you.¡±

    Xia Yihui raised his eyebrows, Liu Zit immediately felt weak, and stumbled over his explanation.

    In fact, this incident was his fault.

    In Classroom 403, Liu Zite exposed Xia Yihui¡¯s identity to some people.

    Then they told others. Now everyone knew that level 3 big brother Xia Yihui carried a red fire hydrant, as long as they saw a person holding a red fire hydrant, no doubt, it had to be Xia Yihui.

    So, all hunters marked him. In the eyes of the crowd, Xia Yihui was the same as a golden elixir, after taking him out, they¡¯d be able to increase their level.

    According to a player of the infinite escape forum, he was seriously injured by the crawling species during the newbie copy, before his stamina points reached zero, he managed to kill one of the crawling species and his stamina increased, at this point, they all probably saw Xia Yihui as one of those creatures.

    Now many people were wounded, the time was reducing and the stamina points consumption was getting faster. If they caught Xia Yihui, it was almost equivalent to a full-blooded resurrection, how could they resist?

    After listening to Liu Zite¡¯s explanation, Xia Yihui felt a headache. He made a quick decision, walked quickly to the window and threw out the fire hydrant.

    The floor wasn¡¯t high, as the hydrant was thrown down, it immediately caused a cry of surprise.

    ¡°Hahahaha a fire hydrant actually fell down, God is helping me ah!¡±

    ¡°D*mn, brothers, don¡¯t let that man run away with the hydrant.¡±

    ¡°Chase! Chase after him!¡±

    The floor below fell into chaos because of a fire hydrant.

    No one could find anything in East Lane High School except papers, pencil and other gadgets, the fire hydrant was definitely ranked in the top.

    As Xia Yihui threw it, the comment screen immediately exploded, they questioned why Xia Yihui didn¡¯t discuss with them before throwing the fire hydrant.

    Especially the anti-fans, at this time, they were even more enthusiastic. Apparently everyone didn¡¯t understand why Xia Yihui suddenly threw the fire hydrant.

    Xia Yihui didn¡¯t explain.

    Inside the escape game, all his choices were for his own life, there was no need to explain everything to the audience.

    In his mind, the audience only needed to watch him as he made risky choices, then kneel after it was over and shout ¡®Big brother is so cool¡¯.

    Liu Zite was also shocked by Xia Yihui¡¯s behavior, he looked at Xia Yihui with an open mouth, he didn¡¯t understand: ¡°Why did you throw your weapon? Later when the hunters find you, how will you defend yourself without it?¡±

    This question was exactly what the crowd in the live room wanted to ask.

    Comments rushed through the screen, crazily repeating Liu Zite¡¯s question.

    Xia Yihui patiently replied: ¡°With the fire hydrant, I¡¯m a target, so I might as well lose it.¡±

    Liu Zite snorted, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have, at least it is something that can protect you, later if you meet hunters, won¡¯t you be empty-handed?¡±

    With Liu Zite holding the same viewpoint of not a few people, many people in the comments section agreed with Liu Zite, there were people who painstakingly advised Xia Yihui to go back downstairs and get the fire hydrant back.

    Xia Yihui touched his nose, narrowed his eyes and smiled, but he didn¡¯t respond. Seeing his expression, the live crowd sneered and laughed, secretly laughing at his ignorance and cursing even harder.

    Of course there were people who spoke for Xia Yihui, but these people were ultimately a small number. With the fire hydrant thing, many people were on Liu Zite¡¯s side, and felt that Xia Yihui was unbelievable.

    Just then, Liu Zite heard a loud cry from behind him, ¡°Son of a b*tch Liu Zite, give me back my bread!!¡±

    Liu Zite¡¯s expression changed, ¡°Sh*t!¡±

    He pushed Xia Yihui away without saying a word and fled.

    Xia Yihui staggered after being pushed by Liu Zite, he held the wall to stand up, shrugged, and moved to enter a random classroom to hide.

    The speed of the comments increased all of a sudden.

    Davis: Come on, anchor. Help him. He can¡¯t beat the hunter alone.

    Barry: Anchor, don¡¯t seek death!

    Circle: I¡¯m speechless, what is wrong with people nowadays, is there no love?

    Hungry: That freckled little brother painstakingly advised the anchor not to throw the hydrant, yet anchor turned his head like this. It¡¯s the right thing to return the favor, is it only me who feels this way?

    Orange wine: Have you lost your wits? The man revealed the whereabouts of the anchor, or else would he be as miserable as this, how does your eyes see? Do you automatically filter what you see?

    Yang Juhua: Big Brother? Where is the big brother, I only saw a lazy person being chased for days.

    Flower: You shouldn¡¯t try to convince the anchor, he can¡¯t protect himself now, how can save the man?

    Just as Xia Yihui was reading the comments, the sound of the hunter¡¯s footsteps rapidly approached.

    Orange wine scolded the cult-like commentors, and advised Xia Yihui to hide in the classroom and ignore Liu Zite.

    Xia Yihui glanced at the group of persuasive comments, thought about it and said, ¡°You guys really want me to save him?¡±

    Orange wine: Big brother, don¡¯t be disturbed by these people. ¡­¡­ If I had known, I wouldn¡¯t have talked about you in the Infinite Escape Forum. I¡¯m sorry for the trouble! QAQ.

    Xia Yihui blinked gently, it counted as appeasement.

    Looking at the comments that neatly expressed agreement for him to save Liu Zite, Xia Yihui smiled and nodded, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll save that gentleman, as a free lesson for you.¡±

    Huahua: Too good! The anchor finally found his way.

    Hungry to death: What lesson?

    Xia Yihui grinned, ¡°I¡¯ll let you see why you can¡¯t survive this game.¡±

    The comment section was silent for a moment, before it was filled with amused comments.

    It was true that they didn¡¯t pass the novice copy, but it was purely by accident.

    If the copy they experienced was the current one, most of the people in the live room were sure that if they were there, at least the situation wouldn¡¯t be as bad as it was now.

    Although they had been watching Xia Yihui¡¯s live stream, they could never identify with Xia Yihui¡¯s strength.

    Everyone had seen the video of the newbie copy, and in the eyes of the crowd, Xia Yihui¡¯s act of hiding on the door and exclusively hitting the creeping species three inches away was almost like finding a bug in the game, equivalent to cheating.

    Although he successfully advanced to L3, his method wasn¡¯t as bright and open as other L3 and above players, so Xia Yihui¡¯s position in L3 seemed extraordinarily embarrassing.

    Seeing that no one took the ¡®lesson¡¯ comment seriously, Xia Yihui didn¡¯t argue, but quickly turned around and went after Liu Zite as promised.

    Liu Zite¡¯s legs were shorter than Xia Yihui¡¯s, and his steps were much smaller, so the latter caught up with him in a flash, and had time to ask, ¡°Who¡¯s chasing you? You stole his bread?¡±

    ¡°He put it there, so I took it, he didn¡¯t write his name on it.¡± Liu Zit panted, his eyes were full of boredom, ¡°He¡¯s a L2 hunter, his initial skill should be related to speed, he runs twice as fast as a normal person. Also, don¡¯t follow me, you¡¯ll slow me down!¡±

    ¡°Twice?!¡± Xia Yihui¡¯s pupils trembled for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he also had a skill called Scouting. He silently looked at how to use scouting, and also used it on Liu Zite in passing.

    [Scouting lv1: can view the basic information of random players in the copy, a maximum use of three times a day.]

    A line of subtitles appeared in the air, the words were only visible to Xia Yihui.

    Name: Liu Zite

    Age: 22

    Level: S1

    Skills: knitting sweater lv1

    In addition to these four, he couldn¡¯t detect anything else.

    Xia Yihui turned his head back and threw a Scouting lv1 on the blurred figure of the big man in the distance.

    Name: Xu Qing

    Age: 38

    Level: S3

    Skill: Sprint lv1

    Xia Yihui quickly thought about it. Maybe the lv1 skill was still too weak, and the upgraded scouting would show him more information.

    But what the hell was this knitting sweater skill?

    Before in the infinite escape forum, he had seen many people complaining that their initial skills were trash, Xia Yihui hadn¡¯t believed them, he firmly believed that there were no trash skills, only people who used skills terribly.

    As a result, knitting sweater ¡­¡­ this skill was indeed trash. He was suddenly glad that his luck was good, he had gotten two skills that were very powerful.

    After running for less than half a minute, he turned a corner and there was a fork in the road. At this time, the hunter Xu Qing was already very close, and the sound of panting seemed close at hand.

    Behind him came the sound of the rustling wind, Xia Yihui violently pushed Liu Zite to the side, he was pasted on the wall like a meat pie, and he landed face first, knocking off two teeth with a mouthful of blo*d.

    ¡°What the f*ck is wrong with you?!¡± Liu Zite yelled in anger, and spoke with a puff of air. He suspected that Xia Yihui was taking revenge for being pushed.

    Xia Yihui innocently pointed to the fire axe stuck in the ground.

    Xu Qing chased the enemy too eagerly, and actually threw the fire axe over. If Xia Yihui hadn¡¯t pushed him away, this axe would have cut off his head.

    Only then did Liu Zite understand that Xia Yihui was saving him, he felt a little embarrassed.

    In his mind, their strength was about the same, he thought Xia Yihui wasn¡¯t worthy of his L3 title, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face, he was actually saved by the person he despised.

    Liu Zit was furious, ¡°You¡¯re too nosy! I can dodge it myself!¡±

    Xia Yihui didn¡¯t deny it.

    It so happened that at the fork in the road, Liu Zite didn¡¯t hesitate for a moment, he quickly turned to the left. While running, he quickly screamed, ¡°Don¡¯t chase me! The person next to me is No.10 Xia Yihui, I stole your bread but the reward for k!lling him is 150 experience points. Go after him!¡±

 CH 6

    The comment section exploded with a bang. A hundred or so people frantically swiped the screen.

    Yang Juhua: Cr*p!

    Circle: ????

    Hungry to death: it¡¯s hard to say ¡­¡­

    Orange wine: You guys urged big brother to save him, now you feel silly, right?

    Flowers: We¡¯re all adults. Can we stop doing things without considering the consequences? ! This man despised the anchor from the start, but you blamed the anchor, is this human behaviour?

    Xia Yi Hui didn¡¯t say anything, instead he directly chose a different path from Liu Zite.

    The live broadcast crowd instantly understood the significance of Xia Yihui doing so. As they had asked before, Xia Yihui was using himself to lure away the hunter and save Liu Zite.

    Only this time everyone¡¯s thoughts were very different.

    It was then that the crowd reacted to the fact that Xia Yihui had already known that Liu Zite was a white-eyed wolf. It was because of them that Xia Yihui saved Liu Zite.

    [TN: White Eyed Wolf ¡ª¨C someone that [email protected] you in the back after helping them.]

    The people sitting in front of the computer were silent, they silently retracted their hands tapping the keyboard, suddenly a bit confused, they didn¡¯t know what to say. At the same time, their guilt almost choked them, if not for them, Xia Yihui wouldn¡¯t be in such a dangerous situation.

    They were looking forward to Xu Qing chasing Liu Zite without interference. Only in this way could their guilt be eased a little.

    However, Xu Qing didn¡¯t do what they expected, he followed closely to the fork in the road, paused for a second or two, and then looked at the list outside the window, his expression turned ruthless, he temporarily changed the target and chose to chase Xia Yihui.

    The comment section was dead silent. Only the few people who defended Xia Yihui at the beginning were still sending comments, cursing and complaining that many people in the live room had no brains.

    Although those words were very excessive, the weird thing was, no one refuted. As far as the current result looked like, what they did before was indeed a bit retarded.

    ¡°Don¡¯t run, young man, I won¡¯t hurt you! Give me back my bread and I¡¯ll go, we have no grudge.¡± Xu Qing yelled as he chased.

    Lucien: Ah, anchor! He says he won¡¯t hurt you.

    Circle: how about you give him a bottle of milk, take it as spending the money to eliminate disaster, QAQ.

    Orange wine: I¡¯m begging you! Stop playing around, if the anchor was a king, he¡¯d be k!lled because of you!

    Flowers: My God, my head is aching. Think about it, first of all, let¡¯s not talk about the character of the hunter, whether he will keep his promise after the anchor stops, and so on. The key point is, we don¡¯t know how much bread the white eyed wolf stole just now. If anchor gives him a bottle of milk. The hunter might not be satisfied!

    Orange wine: Don¡¯t give him anything, anchor, the bread and milk you brought will only last for five days, there is no extra for others.

    He didn¡¯t have time to read the comments as he escaped, but for the sake of being cautious, Xia Yihui tried to.

    It was like he wasn¡¯t hearing the hunter¡¯s words, he just didn¡¯t care and kept running.

    Xu Qing didn¡¯t care that Xia Yihui didn¡¯t fall for it. He laughed at the comments on his live stream, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, half of my speed hasn¡¯t even been exerted.¡±

    After saying that, his speed increased fiercely, and the distance that was still ten meters apart was shortened to three or four meters in the blink of an eye. Xu Qing reached out and was about to catch Xia Yihui, when Xia Yihui¡¯s body suddenly turned and twisted into the teacher¡¯s office on the side.

    The prey that was about to be caught slipped away, Xu Qing was furious and he rushed towards the door, hitting it at once. He hurriedly twisted the handle and tried to open the door, but found that it had been locked by Xia Yihui.

    The office door was much stronger than the classroom door, but in the end it was just an ordinary wooden door that couldn¡¯t withstand a huge impact. Xu Qing kicked the door twice unsuccessfully and without saying anything, he grabbed a stool from the classroom, and madly smashed it against the door.

    The banging sound was loud, and the door gradually loosened, as if it would break in the next second.

    Flower: Wow, what an escape. I just realised that the anchor is really awesome.

    Orange wine: I have long known hahaha ¡­¡­ the anchor depends on his strength.

    Hungry to death: Isn¡¯t it too early to relax? How will the anchor run away when the hunter breaks in? It¡¯s not the first floor.

    Lucian: Yes. The anchor didn¡¯t explain, now he¡¯s entered a dead end.

    Orange wine: If he didn¡¯t go into the office, he¡¯d be caught by now, okay?

    ¡°Open the door!!!¡± Xu Qing¡¯s angry yell mixed with the sound of banging, sounding quite appalling, like a gang member that came to collect a debt.

    Xia Yihui silently moved away from the door and fixed his mind to observe the office.

    This seemed to be a public office. It was a composite structure, a few large round tables, with small partitions partitioned out of a small office area. On each desk were small potted plants, paper and pencil test papers and other things.

    Xia Yihui looked a few times and didn¡¯t find anything special, he turned around again.

    There was also a small cubicle there, next to a small independent bathroom. Looking at the layout, this office was probably a teacher¡¯s.

    The office had a window, but as the comments said, the floor was too high. If Xia Yihui didn¡¯t use any protective measures to jump, not to mention the lack of arms and legs, it¡¯d be a miracle if he didn¡¯t break his head.

    ¡°Whoosh¨C¡±

    The sound of flushing suddenly came from the independent bathroom.

    Xia Yihui was stunned, he twisted his head to stare at the bathroom exit.

    Was it a hunter? Or a prey?

    The people in the live room also tensed, they sat slightly upright as they stared at their computer, their eyes turned, and their heartbeats gradually accelerated.

    ¡®Creak¡¯, the bathroom door slowly pushed open, Xu Qing¡¯s frantic movements overshadowed everything in the office.

    One foot stepped out, he looked down, it was a greasy suit pant.

    A middle-aged balding man came out of the bathroom, seeing Xia Yihui, the man also seemed a bit surprised, he wiped his still dripping hands on the wrinkled shirt on his body and asked suspiciously, ¡°How come you¡¯re here now?¡±

    Seeing the attire on the man, not the white school uniform, nor the black school uniform, Xia Yihui froze for several seconds before he realised that this was an NPC.

    The crowd in the live room also breathed a sigh of relief and advised Xia Yihui not to waste time with the NPC, the most important thing now was to think about how to escape.

    ¡°Hello teacher.¡± Xia Yihui didn¡¯t do as the comments suggested, but calmly walked to the bald man.

    The comments stopped for a moment and suddenly accelerated.

    Hungry to death: tsk, the anchor is seeking death again.

    Circle: I actually mistrusted the anchor at first, I always felt his choices looked like he was seeking death, but after all this time, he¡¯s actually still alive ¡­¡­ Is this proof that our advice is the wrong one?

    Flower: Ah, ah, ah, big brother, I agree with everything you do. I don¡¯t have the brain to understand! ! !

    Orange wine: So big brother, what do you want to do? (good behavior.jpg)

    Teacher Hu hesitantly looked at Xia Yihui and sat back in his seat, ¡°I heard that you students are very dissatisfied with the school¡¯s recent measures. But it is against the rules for you to come to me during the second exam.¡±

    Xia Yihui¡¯s eyes lit up, he was now sure that there was definitely a hidden branch here that hadn¡¯t been discovered by anyone. He weighed his words, ¡°Then may I ask, teacher, when should I come to you? And how would you change the recent measures?¡±

    Teacher Hu narrowed his eyes, ¡°Before the second exam ends and the third starts, there will be two hours before the list changes, which is considered a break for you, so you can come back to me at that time.¡± After saying that, director Hu began to deal with the documents on the table, no longer looking at Xia Yihui.

    The NPC silently dismissed him. Xia Yihui was a bit reluctant. In the process of talking with the NPC in front of him, he found two phenomenons.

    The first. The NPC in front of him seemed unable to hear the sound of Xu Qing slamming against the door outside. No, it wasn¡¯t inaudible, he was unconcerned. He didn¡¯t seem to care who was banging on the door.

    The second. From the time Xia Yihui entered the office, met the NPC, and talked, it had been about two minutes, but the office door was still solid as gold. Reasonably speaking, it shouldn¡¯t be so, Xu Qing was strong and he was using a chair, it shouldn¡¯t take that long for the door to break.

    These two things was almost impossible in the real world. But Xia Yihui understood that even though the infinite escape game seemed realistic, it was just a data world.

    If he looked at it through the eyes of playing a game, what was in front of him seemed to make sense.

    Although Xia Yihui understood, the crowd was confused. Someone had already noticed that Xu Qing hadn¡¯t managed to break the door, and everyone found it strange, discussing it endlessly in the comment section.

    Some people said that maybe the material of the door was different in the game, and the door of this office seemed to be able to hold on longer. Some people said that maybe Xu Qing was just a fake, his appearance looked powerful, but in fact, he was just a weak chicken.

    After half a day¡¯s discussion, they didn¡¯t have an idea. Finally, someone remembered Xia Yihui.

    Flower: Big brother, can you explain what¡¯s going on? I¡¯m curious to death.

    Xia Yihui laughed, ¡°It¡¯s actually quite simple, your discussion went towards the wrong direction.¡±

    ¡°You all must have played online games, right? Do you remember this kind of scenario, when you enter a scene to communicate with the NPC, the scene is temporarily closed, he only recognizes you. The next player who wants to come in must wait until the previous person has finished communicating.¡±

    ¡°This NPC is the equivalent of a gateway to trigger a hidden mission to expand the main mission, you can only come to him during the list change. That hunter outside is outside the door, not in the perception range of the NPC, so the NPC will selectively ignore this person. If I go out and Xu Qing comes in, he can also trigger this hidden task.¡±

    Orange wine: Ah! I see, that means as long as you don¡¯t go out, that hunter outside has no way to come in?

    Flower: Wow this is also possible? Then forget it, just hide until the end of the game ¡­¡­ Huh? How do I feel as if you found another bug?

    Xia Yihui touched his nose. He couldn¡¯t hide here.

    Just like the conclusion he reached in the training space before, everyone played the same novice copy differently and got different results.

    If he stayed hidden, maybe he¡¯d be safe until the end of the copy, but he would feel uncomfortable.

    At the end of the first copy, Xia Yihui thought he was doing well. As a result, at the beginning of the campus arena, he became confused.

    The first on the list, Zhang Qingyu, could be said to have raised Xia Yihui¡¯s perception level by several notches. Making him understand what it meant to have people outside of himself.

    Now he was so behind others that if the second copy ended negatively, it was a strong possibility that he would be eliminated on the third copy.

    Hiding here wouldn¡¯t pay off.

    Xia Yihui¡¯s purpose of playing this game wasn¡¯t to just escape, to be precise, he wanted to improve. In such cases, the acquisition of skills was always the first priority.

    After figuring this out, Xia Yihui wasn¡¯t in a hurry, anyway, the person outside couldn¡¯t enter, even if other people searched for him accordingly to the coordinates, it would be a waste of time.

    After getting the opportunity to stop fleeing, he had to rest for a while. Sitting peacefully on the desk, Xia Yihui closed his eyes, quietly waiting for midnight and the list to change, so he¡¯d get the hidden mission.

 CH 7

    Posted on February 14, 2022by UntamedS

    At exactly 11 p.m., the list outside the window disappeared.

    A few hours earlier, it was quiet outside the door. Xia Yihui didn¡¯t know if Xu Qing had left, but he wouldn¡¯t go out rashly.

    Before the list change, this office was the safest place, not to mention that it may also be able to develop a branch mission.

    Comments drifted through the air.

    Orange Wine: Anchor, don¡¯t go out. I just went to the Star Network platform, according to the appearance of that hunter and his characteristics, I found his live room. He hasn¡¯t left yet, he set up an ambush at the door. He and his live room audience are talking about how they¡¯ll definitely take your head.

    Lucian: 6666

    [TN: 6666 means ¡°Wow, that is soooo cool!¡± or ¡°Fxxking awesome!¡±.]

    Lemon tea: Cr*p you have good endurance, there¡¯re so many live rooms, you checked all of them?

    Orange Wine: I learned from the anchor, to play this game, caution is the most important thing (¨R¨Œ¨Q)/

    Xia Yihui lightly smiled and thanked ¡®orange wine¡¯.

    If he remembered correctly, orange wine was his first batch of viewers, he had been with him until now.

    The live broadcast room currently had five hundred viewers, almost half of them were in the infinite escape forum and came over after reading Orange Wine¡¯s promotional posts.

    At first these people were very distrustful of Xia Yihui, but after watching for a day, it was clear that Xia Yihui  did all kinds of things for a reason, sometimes seemingly nonsensical, but it was clear that Xia Yihui was very strong willed.

    This was very rare.

    When most people entered the game, their brains were completely confused.

    They didn¡¯t know what to do next, they didn¡¯t know what kind of choices they would make when faced with a choice and what results it would lead to.

    Watching these people¡¯s live stream was haunting, because at some point, the game would say game over.

    But Xia Yihui was different, the crowd in the live room could clearly feel that Xia Yihui had a perfect logic line in mind.

    Other than that, with the coordinates real-time refresh, Xia Yihui was still alive now, it showed how smart and resourceful he was.

    Midnight came, all players coincidentally went silent, looking for a small corner without people, silently waiting for a new round of list release.

    Xia Yihui looked at Director Hu, ¡°Is it okay now? It¡¯s already time for what you said.¡±

    Director Hu stopped reading documents, crossed his fingers on the table and stared at Xia Yihui, his lips also held a strange smile, ¡°What you are protesting for, in fact, I understand. But since the rules and regulations have been issued, it is impossible to change it. Don¡¯t think about asking for help from the outside world, this is a full-time boarding school, don¡¯t think about going out before graduating, the end will be miserable.¡±

    Xia Yihui¡¯s eyes lit up, instead of being intimidated by the NPC, he leapt to his feet a bit.

    He had forgotten that since this copy simulated a real world, these killings weren¡¯t allowed by the law either?

    Did people on the outside know that an unknown school somewhere in the world was now in a twisted killing frenzy? If this matter was exposed, would the situation change and would people outside rescue them?

    Within the copy, everything was possible, the focus was just to see how the player chose.

    Now Xia Yihui found this hidden direction, but other people may not find it, they might go in another completely different direction.

    Copies composed of different batches of players that had the same background, but the final result of each player would be different.

    After understanding the main points, Xia Yihui asked again: ¡°Since the regulations of this mock examination can not be changed, then can you reveal something, as a prey, is there no other way to survive besides frantic escape?¡±

    Director Hu shook his head, ¡°There are no shortcuts on the road to learning.¡±

    Xia Yihui hmmed and lowered his eyes in disappointment. Director Hu looked at him sympathetically and continued seemingly casually, ¡°This is true for you, and also for hunters.¡±

    Xia Yihui frowned. Although he didn¡¯t understand the meaning of this sentence, he still politely thanked him.

    Hungry: the list is about to change, the anchor is going out now? Excited (¨R¨Œ¨Q)/

    Flower£ºBut there are hunters guarding outside, how can the anchor go out? ¡Ñ_¡Ñ

    Orange wine: It¡¯s only one hour before 12 o¡¯clock. Why don¡¯t you wait for the list? Maybe in the liberal arts students will be the hunters.

    Xia Yihui smiled in response, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I have an idea.¡±

    As he said that, his mischievous gaze rested on Director Hu.

    Director Hu¡¯s scalp tingled: ¡°What do you want?¡±

    Xia Yihui faintly smiled, ¡°I¡¯m not doing anything, I just need to borrow your body for a while.¡±

    The director¡¯s face trembled,  he quickly got up and ran back. Xia Yihui moved and caught him. He slowly grinned and gently soothed him, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t hurt.¡±

    ¡°Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!¡±

    A miserable scream broke through the sky, a scream so harsh that it was comparable to a turkey that was going to be castrated on the 18th day of the waxing moon.

    ¡°What¡¯s happening?!¡± Xu Qing jerked awake from his half-asleep state and looked at the office door in disbelief.

    In his live room, the audience was brimming with people saying they wanted to lurk to Xia Yihui¡¯s live room to see what was going on.

    Xu Qing was excited, ¡°Okay, you guys help me see what he¡¯s doing inside. This is No.10 Xia Yihui ah, others couldn¡¯t catch him, but now I finally have the chance to catch him! I won¡¯t leave here today.¡±

    The office door opened with a ¡®click¡¯.

    Xu Qing was confused for a moment, and then he was filled with ecstasy. He didn¡¯t have time to think about why the door suddenly opened, he was only worried that the door would locked again by Xia Yihui.

    At the same time, in Xu Qing¡¯s live room, a certain viewer was fist-pumping. He had already found Xia Yihui¡¯s live ID and was waiting to spy on the information.

    As soon as he entered Xia Yihui¡¯s live room, this viewer froze for two or three seconds, his face changed, he hurriedly exited, re-entered Xu Qing¡¯s live room, and crackled his fingers with a line of typing.

    ¨CAnchor don¡¯t go in!!!

    His comment was suppressed by a group of comments shouting ¡®finish him¡¯, and Xu Qing, who was happy and on the verge of winning, directly ignored the comment. He immediately got up and rushed inside, afraid that if he was a second slower, he would miss this great opportunity.

    Going into the office, it was completely dark, there was no sound at all. He didn¡¯t know where the faucet was dripping from, the ¡®tick¡¯ sound set made the quiet office seem haunted.

    Xu Qing sneered, he knew Xia Yihui was hiding here waiting for an opportunity to move. But he wasn¡¯t afraid at all. Xia Yihui was very tall, he was obviously a nerd that didn¡¯t exercise, this kind of people, he could hold down several with one hand, so he wasn¡¯t worried.

    After a cursory check outside, he didn¡¯t see anyone. Xu Qing followed the direction of the sound of water dripping. There was a small compartment, after turning in, he saw a large leather chair, the back of the chair led to the doorway, the edge also revealed dark hair.

    Apparently, Xia Yihui was sitting on that chair.

    Thinking about the scream he had just heard, Xu Qing hesitated a bit, but the huge benefits of killing a L3 prey was still bigger than anything else and ruthlessly overwhelmed him.

    He approached the back of the chair with an axe, without saying a word, the axe directly cut open the leather chair.

    The inner capsule of the chair burst out, and with it the chair turned in a circle, facing Xu Qing. Xu Qing raised the axe, rushing to the chair to cut him down.

    ¡°Uhhhhhhh!!!¡±

    Xu Qing paused for a moment and the edge of the axe was hanging just a few inches in front of the man¡¯s face. Below the axe was a greasy middle-aged man, the man¡¯s body was bound to the chair, and a dirty rag was stuffed in his mouth.

    Xu Qing hesitantly asked, ¡°You are Xia Yihui?¡± This man seemed a little different from the Xia Yihui he imagined.

    The man in the chair shook his head frantically and looked angrily at the axe in Xu Qing¡¯s hand.

    Meanwhile, the comments came late.

    Flower: He ran away! Xia Yihui ran towards the left stairway!

    The contents of the comments were all not too far apart, and everyone seemed to be in a great hurry, urging Xu Qing to go after him quickly and cursing Xu Qing¡¯s carelessness.

    ¡°D*mn it!¡± Xu Qing shouted angrily, deeply humiliated. He kicked Director Hu in his chair, turned around and quickly went after him.

    When he went out, the office was silent for a few seconds. Xia Yihui climbed in from outside the window and smiled apologetically at Director Hu who was looking at him angrily.

    Just now Xia Yihui had been crouching outside the window on the air conditioner, hiding quietly, so Xu Qing didn¡¯t find him.

    Xia Yihui deliberately left the water in the compartment open, in order to attract Xu Qing¡¯s attention, to draw his attention to the compartment. As expected, as soon as Xu Qing saw Director Hu, he was immediately grossed out and believed the words of the commentors without even thinking about it.

    Flower: Mission accomplished! Hug big brother ~ (¨R¨Œ¨Q)/

    Xia Yihui squinted and smiled, ¡°Hug you.¡±

    The comment screen was filled amused comments, happy as can be. In other people¡¯s live room, the audience watched the anchor crazily abuse people, or the audience watched as the anchor was crazily abused. The truth was that the sense of immersion wasn¡¯t strong, the crowd only felt intrigued, but they were never thrilled.

    But Xia Yihui was different, the audience was able to participate in his escape game.

    Just like how the audience requested for him to save Liu Zite, and went to Xu Qing live room to spread false news, these people participated.

    Xia Yihui would accommodate the fans, selectively follow the fans¡¯ requests, even if there would be a bad result, Xia Yihui always had a way to fix it.

    This feeling was unspeakable, to use an analogy, it wasn¡¯t like they were watching Xia Yihui¡¯s escape, but it was as if everyone was escaping together.

    For this reason, Xia Yihui¡¯s live stream audience were extraordinarily sticky. And the number of fans were still steadily and uninterruptedly rising.

    Xia Yihui didn¡¯t dare to waste the time that wasn¡¯t gotten easily, he directly rushed out the door, used the right corridor to escape. In the right corridor, there were countless classrooms, and to the left were windows.

    The turn in front of him led to the stairs of the school building. Once on the stairs, he could go anywhere, at least during the list change, Xu Qing couldn¡¯t catch up with him without the live refresh list.

    Xia Yihui was happy, his footsteps sped up a little.

    At this time, ten people suddenly rushed out from around the corner.

    Xia Yihui didn¡¯t care, he hurriedly swept past this group of people.

    Before he fled, he also met several of these small groups. There were no grievances and no hatred, so no conflict was started.

    The second mode was about to end, nearing the third mode. Who knew if they would be a hunter or the prey in the third mode? It was too uncertain, so normal people didn¡¯t want to start a conflict with anyone.

    But the small group suddenly attacked just as he was passing by. As if premeditated, one person¡¯s palm suddenly caught fire and he threw a fireball at Xia Yihui, and another person¡¯s arm extended infinitely to grab Xia Yihui¡¯s body in one go. There were also several people exercising their small skills, the target was just one person, Xia Yihui.

    This was clearly a premeditated attack!

    Xia Yihui was grabbed by the long arm, he helplessly stared at the fireball that was about to meet his face, he couldn¡¯t dodge.

    The live room had already began wailing, mourning the loss of Xia Yihui¡¯s live stream.

    Xia Yihui¡¯s mind was still stable, he quickly raised his hand and the long-armed man¡¯s hand also raised with it.

    His plan was very simple, using the fireball to force the long-armed man to let go.

    If he didn¡¯t let go, very well, then they¡¯d all die together.

    Facts had proven that few people could be as crazy as Xia Yihui in this game. The long-armed man hesitated for a moment, he cursed at him, let go of his hand, and quickly tried to retract his own hand.

    But it wasn¡¯t over yet. As Xia Yihui grinned, the long-armed man instantly had a bad feeling, and sure enough, the next second Xia Yihui grabbed his hand, rubbed it into a ball around himself and ran to meet the impact of the thick blaze.

    Crazy!!!

    This was the thought of everyone present. Including his opponents, the live viewers from everyone¡¯s live streams, and Xu Qing, who had ran back towards him.

    The fireball hit Xia Yihui¡¯s temporary made ¡®shield¡¯, the fire spread out, and some tiny flames diffused on Xia Yihui¡¯s collar and hair.

    Sharp screams resounded throughout the 6th floor. The long-armed man retracted his hand and frantically slapped at the fire, the smell of flesh burning was creepy, no one knew if it was an illusion, but the floor seemed covered with the smell of burnt meat.

    The sparks floated everywhere.

    The comments in the live stream were all over the place: ahhhhh god wodma is so f*ucking awesome!!!

    Everyone concluded that he was crazy.

    It wasn¡¯t easy to use an enemy¡¯s plan to make them hurt themselves.

    Xia Yihui was considered the first person in this copy. Never had they seen the prey crazily escape, the hunters usually chased them wildly, this was the first time they had seen a prey resist, and the resistance was successful.

    Hungry: I¡¯m already the anchor¡¯s wife fan, if the anchor doesn¡¯t die today, I want to follow you for life (¨R¨Œ¨Q)/

    Jester: cr*ap, this is so cool, I offer my knees!

    Lemonade girl: Anchor looks like a phoenix bathing in fire, he¡¯s so good-looking, if only the live room had a screenshot function, I want to take a screenshot of this image, place it over my bed and stare at it everyday.

    Flower: Mama I saw a fairy! Work Hard, Anchor!

    Taro Has A Margin: I just came into the live room and met this scene, I was completely shocked, I thought it was 3D movie special effects.

    82 Rafi: I want to know all the information about the anchor in five minutes!

    Lucian: I apologize for speaking out against the big guy before, QAQ.

    There was one distinctive comment among a flurry of frenzied comments.

    Orange wine: Are you okay? Is it very painful?

    All the commentators froze and finally remembered that what was on Xia Yihui at this moment was not a movie special effect, but real flames.

    Through a layer of the screen, they couldn¡¯t feel the hot temperature, but from the long-armed man¡¯s screams, it was obvious how painful it was. What the fireball brought, was a terrifying temperature that struck the soul.

    Thinking of this, everyone began to worry and asked Xia Yihui about his physical condition.

    Looking at the comments, Xia Yihui laughed. In fact, the fire only looked scary, 90% of the attack was blocked by the temporary made ¡®shield¡¯, which was exactly why the one-armed man was screaming so miserably.

    Xia Yihui would never gamble on a moment of anger to face danger. Before doing this, his mind had gone through a precise calculation.

    In a few seconds, how big the hand of the long-armed person would be kneaded by him, how much flames would leak through the arm gap, how many attacks could be blocked by the arm, and how far from the center of the fire could he keep himself to the greatest extent.

    Xia Yihui thought of all these things. After all, he was still very life conscious.

    The fire from the skill was still suspended in the air, and the temperature of the entire sixth floor corridor soared violently. Space seemed to be distorted and appeared metaphysical.

    The crisis brought by the fire was diverted, but the crisis brought by people was still there.

    Xia Yihui couldn¡¯t say ¡®I¡¯m fine¡¯.

    The situation was very dangerous at the moment.

    There was Xu Qing blocking the way on the left, on the right was the group of hunters, and outside the window was six stories high.

    It could be said that there was almost no way to escape.

    Of course, this wasn¡¯t an absolute desperate situation.

    The two rival forces were holding each other in check, and Xia Yihui wasn¡¯t in danger for the time being.

    Xu Qing knew in his heart that he couldn¡¯t take Xia Yihui today, but he didn¡¯t leave either, he just blocked Xia Yihui¡¯s exit, so as to neatly cut off his last retreat.

    With the crazy move just now, at this moment the crowd didn¡¯t want to act rashly. No one wanted to be cannon fodder, they had all seen the long-armed man¡¯s miserable state.

    When the situation was stalemated, someone shouted, ¡°Holy sh*t!¡±

    Everyone looked in the direction his finger was pointing and was also shocked.

    Just now, the clock struck zero and the list changed.

    Now the list floating in the air had changed.

    ¡°This was really a bl00dbath, from the list of ten people, seven are new names. Have the previous seven people been eliminated?¡±

    ¡°Not really, aren¡¯t we standing in front of someone that isn¡¯t on the list? But Xia Yihui is the prey, the fact that he¡¯s not dead is already a miracle. Look at the three people who still remain on the list, their status last round was hunter.¡±

    ¡°Tch, No.1 is still Zhang Qingyu, Zhang Qingyu has been dominating these five days.¡±

    ¡°Cr*p, am I seeing wrong, is that column below Zhang Qingyu¡¯s rank L16? A full 8 levels higher than No.2! Oh my God, I don¡¯t even have a fraction of his level!¡±

    ¡°Why is he hanging, it¡¯s weird!¡±

    ¡°He¡¯s a god, why are you comparing yourself with him?¡±

    The person who first discovered the list had changed found that everyone was focusing on the wrong thing and shouted anxiously, ¡°I¡¯m not surprised that the list has changed, look at Zhang Qingyu¡¯s coordinates!¡±

    The crowd¡¯s eyes shifted down.

    No.1

    Player: Zhang Qingyu

    Level: 16 (790/1600)

    Subject: Science

    Coordinate: Classroom 907, Teaching Building No. 23

    Time left: 169 hours and 33 minutes

    The crowd was confused. What was wrong with the coordinates? It was normal.

    After about two seconds, the list singled out, and the coordinates changed to ¡®Classroom 807, Building 23¡¯.

    Everyone was silent.

    Xia Yihui also felt disturbed, in a two seconds interval, how did this No.1 big brother go from 907 to 807?

    If it was just down the stairs, it was 901 to 801. This spanned 14 classrooms in between, how did he do it?

    Everyone in the live stream was also discussing this strange sign, which everyone obviously found amazing.

    ¡°It¡¯s changed again!!!¡±

    Xia Yihui¡¯s pupils shook, this time he clearly saw that in two seconds, Zhang Qingyu¡¯s coordinates went from 807 to 707.

    ¡°Teaching building number 23, that¡¯s the building we¡¯re in now!¡± Someone shouted.

    Xia Yihui froze and immediately looked at the classroom next to him, and he instantly went numb from his scalp to his cheeks.

    The sign on it read clearly, Classroom 607.

    According to the coordinates of the list, he was in classroom 607 of the 23rd teaching building.

    That meant ¡­¡­ Zhang Qingyu was now upstairs?

    Obviously everyone thought of this. They all raised their heads in fear and looked at the ceiling.

    ¡°Afraid, afraid of what? Obviously we¡¯re all hunters ah!¡± Someone stammered.

    Xia Yihui¡¯s pupils flickered. That person wasn¡¯t wrong, now the list had changed, but the electronic voice hadn¡¯t yet said anything about an identity switch.

    The Science students were still hunters.

    There were so many people in the room, including the strange coordinates of Zhang Qingyu, all of them were science, just he, the arts student sandwiched in the middle, was like fat meat on the cutting board, falling into the wolves den, holding himself tight and shivering.

    If Zhang Qingyu really came to the 6th floor, that would be three forces against him.

    Xia Yihui¡¯s throat rolled for a moment, profoundly feeling that this game had great malice towards him.

    The whole scene was quiet, no one knew where Zhang Qingyu would come out from and in what way he would appear. Everyone could only look fearfully at the list outside the window and pray that the coordinates wouldn¡¯t change again.

    The crowd¡¯s prayers didn¡¯t work, and in just two seconds, the floor of the coordinates on the screen dropped another place, from 7 to 6.

    ¡°Where, where is he?¡± Someone muttered.

    The crowd stared at each other with wide eyes, no one could answer this person¡¯s question.

    Xia Yihui bit his lower lip, his face grim. Suddenly, his expression changed and he turned his eyes to look out the window.

    At the same time, there was a loud clatter and countless window fragments shot into the corridor. Everyone dodged the broken glass in panic, it was too late to think about what was happening.

    Those fragments were like long eyes, no matter how everyone dodged, the fragments found them accurately, and unceremoniously cut one small slit after another on people¡¯s bodies.

    Xia Yihui also dodged, and then was embarrassed to find that no fragments came towards him. He just stood still, yet no fragments cut him, so there was no need to dodge at all.

    When he realized that, he looked at the person who had broken the window.

    Coincidentally, that person was also looking at Xia Yihui.

    The two were separated by countless crystals floating in the air, the air was distorted by the heat, and the crowd of people writhing wildly to avoid the debris because they had been caught off guard.

    Flower: so handsome!!!

    Hungry to death: Ma Ma I want to marry him !!

    Orange wine: I actually prefer the anchor¡¯s sultry look. But that person is really good-looking, long legs and a handsome face, he gives a clean and clear feeling.

    Takeaway girl: kneeling for his name, I want to give him a child!

    Xia Yihui stared at Zhang Qingyu without turning his eyes. Zhang Qingyu¡¯s features were outstanding, belonging to the kind of good looks that could be seen at once in the crowd. But the most stunning place, was his eyes. His eyes were very beautiful, the end of his eyes were tilted up, making him look serious, but his eyes seemed to be clear and clean.

    It was this contradiction that made it impossible to understand Zhang Qingyu¡¯s good looks with a mysterious meaning, so that people couldn¡¯t help but look at his eyes again and again, if they were a little inattentive, they would fall deep into it.

    Lu Xian: Hahaha, the anchor is also stunned. Why are you guys watching each other like this? Are beautiful people attracted to each other?

    Flower: HHHH, can you take care of the poor player next to you who is scratched by broken glass and baked in high temperature? They are playing a nightmare level horror game. Is this a love game at first sight?

    Orange wine: I just went to Zhang Qingyu¡¯s live room to look around, hahaha, I¡¯m laughing to death, their side¡¯s style and our side is highly consistent, they¡¯re praising our anchor¡¯s godly face, kneeling for news of the anchor, crying and shouting that they¡¯ll give children to the anchor 233333

    [TN: 2333 ¡ª Lol/LMAO]

    Circle: So are both audiences captivated by the opposite side? 666666

    [TN: 6666 ¡ª li¨´ li¨´ li¨´ ÁùÁùÁù = well played/cool]

    Orange wine: now the opposite side has began to urge Zhang Qingyu to ask for the anchor¡¯s contact information, hahaha

    Wolf cub: from the opposite side! anchor I like you ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, you know? From the opposite side, it looks like you¡¯ve being reborn from the flames, just like being equipped with flame effects. It¡¯s super stylish! And he looks pretty!

    Favorite Long Legs: Coming from the opposite side+1, I suddenly realized that the perspectives on both sides are very beautiful. Looking at this side from there, it seems like it has been added with a flame special effect. Looking over here and over there, there are all shiny little glass. Do good-looking people bring their own special effects? (¨R¨Œ¨Q)/

    Xia Yihui: ¡°¡­¡­¡± What happened?

    He was dumbfounded. Noticing that Zhang Qingyu was still looking at him, Xia Yihui was a bit baffled. After thinking about it, Xia Yihui hesitantly nodded at Zhang Qingyu, counting it as a greeting.

    It was this greeting that caused the incident. Zhang Qingyu¡¯s eyes flickered for a moment, with a hint of indescribable complexity between his eyebrows, and he slowly moved away from his gaze.

    Favorite long legs: eh? Anchor, why do I feel that you two know each other ah?

    Teacup dog garden: there is adultery!

    Circle: The person who first removes their eyes during a gaze is often the one who loves deeply.

    Lu Xian: I am studying psychology, and I think what I have learned throughout my life will be applied to it! I bet there was definitely something going on between you, otherwise Big boss Zhang wouldn¡¯t have looked abandoned like that!

    Piece of cat: meow meow meow? Was that look just now the look of abandonment? I feel like I¡¯m begging for it.

    The barrage below was flickering, all speculating about Xia Yihui¡¯s relationship with Zhang Qingyu, trying to pair them up.

    ¡­? ¡°Xia Yihua was shocked.

    Did they know each other? Why did everyone say it was true? He almost believed it himself, OK!

    The number of people in his live stream was growing rapidly by multiplying times, from a thousand to more than seven thousand in the blink of an eye.

    Xia Yihui knew these viewers should be from Zhang Qingyu¡¯s side.

    Looking at the screen full of strange comments, Xia Yihui felt a bit helpless. If he wasn¡¯t wrong, Zhang Qingyu¡¯s live room comments should be more than this, right?

    Zhang Qingyu looked so outstanding, how could he not remember meeting him?

    But judging from the other party¡¯s performance, it really didn¡¯t seem like they didn¡¯t know each other. Xia Yihua was a bit confused.

    Just as his thoughts were drifting, the sparkling little glass flying everywhere in the air finally stopped. After pausing for a few seconds, they seemed to suddenly lose their strength and fell freely to the ground.

    A moment, the sound of crisp glass shattering sounded constantly, mixed with echoes of the chaos and complexity.

    Those who were cut to rags by glass and their faces covered in blood were overjoyed. As long as there was no interference from the glass, they could use their skills again.

    Here was the chance!

    The player who could control the fireball couldn¡¯t withstand the attack of the broken glass, and backhanded a ball of fire and threw it towards Zhang Qingyu¡¯s back.

    At the same time, all the people who were ready to attack Zhang Qingyu, had taken out their own skills.

    The fireballs, vines, and all sorts of strange and bizarre skills, fell towards Zhang Qingyu.

    ¡°You ¡­¡­¡± Xia Yihui subconsciously shouted, ready to use the word ¡®careful¡¯.

    Before he could finish speaking, he saw Zhang Qingyu slightly raise his hand and thrust it into the air, stopping the fierce fireball in the air.

    Zhang Qingyu turned his head, calmly looking at Xia Yihui, as if asking what Xia Yihui just wanted to say.

    Xia Yihua took a deep breath and smiled, then changed his mouth and said, ¡°Sending a heart to you.¡±

    Esther: Anchor, are you toxic?! Temporary change of mouth isn¡¯t okay hahaha

    Hungry: laugh out loud hahaha, you even dare to molest the no.1 Big Boss Zhang, what else can¡¯t you do?

    Flower: Help! My share of today¡¯s laughs 23333

    [TN: 2333 ¡ª lol]

    Favorite long legs: Hahahahaha anchor, I came from the live room there. You know Big boss Zhang is most annoyed by these words, even his viewers don¡¯t dare go over the boundary, he will emit a killing aura to them!

    Takeaway girl: Oh my God, really? Sending the anchor wax 23333333

    [TN: it¡¯s the same as ¡°F for respect.¡± or RIP. Usually when someone dies in China, they light incense, which became candle in emoji-format, and so it became a meme, but in a more friendly way.]

    Sheep horn shoes: wax +1

    Seeing the comments, Xia Yihua knew it wasn¡¯t good. He was used to doinfg things like this, but suddenly he met someone more serious, which really made him nervous. He immediately waved his hand and prepared to apologize.

    Zhang Qingyu was one step ahead of him, he lightly asked: ¡°What did you just say?¡±

    A barrage of ¡®hahaha¡¯ laughter erupted, leaving a momentary blank in the live broadcast interface.

    Everyone was surprised. Generally speaking, Zhang Qingyu didn¡¯t care for such jokes, but now he replied to Xia Yihua again, which was a bit confusing.

    ¡°Hmm?¡± Xia Yihui was equally confused, ¡°What said what?¡±

    Zhang Qingyu seriously, ¡°You said, you¡¯ll send me a heart.¡±

    Xia Yihui¡¯s face was full of horror. Did he say such a horrible thing? With just one more word, the picture was completely different!

    He hurriedly explained: ¡°I don¡¯t mean that. Than heart doesn¡¯t mean giving you a heart, but expressing fondness for people.¡±

    Zhang Qingyu paused for a moment, ¡°express fondness?¡±

    Xia Yihui: ¡°¡­¡­¡± This still didn¡¯t make sense, did it!?

    The good thing was that Zhang Qingyu didn¡¯t dwell too much on this issue. His attention returned to the big fire in the air.

    Fortunately, Zhang Qingyu didn¡¯t dwell too much on this issue. His attention returned to the large fire in the air.

    He gently raised his hand and the raging fire shifted direction in the air, quickly being hit back.

    Although the person who attacked had a fire-based skill, it was as if he himself wasn¡¯t fireproof. When the fireball hit, the person was completely defenseless, and was chased by the fire, hiding all over the place, burning loudly.

    ¡ª¡ªCan you apply others¡¯ skills to yourself? This is an open loop! It¡¯s horrible.

    Xia Yighua saw the bullet screen flashing through the live broadcast room with sharp eyes.

    He shook his head in disapproval. Zhang Qingyu shouldn¡¯t possess the skills mentioned in the barrage.

    Moreover, the game were fair in a sense, no one¡¯s skills were bad, there were just strong and weak points. The focus also depended on whether the holder itself could skillfully and properly use the skill.

    The horror of Zhang Qingyu should lie in himself, and adding a matching skill made it seem like he had a CHEAT skill.

    The vines twisted wildly in the air, one by one, intercepting the skills that were thrown over, pocketed in one place, and very simply sent it back again.

    Those who implemented the skills never considered that the scorching heat, spikes, giant pressure, etc. would revert back to themselves.

    They cried and dodged and were tortured by their own skills to the point of death. In no time at all, they could not support themselves and lay flat on the ground, almost invalid.

    In addition to Xia Yihui who was spared, there was one other person present, Xu Qing.

    From the moment Zhang Qingyu got off the field, he stood in place like a wooden stake, not even moving a bit.

    In fact, he was thinking of picking up a leak or something. It just didn¡¯t occur to him that this thought saved his life instead.

    Seeing Zhang Qingyu¡¯s gaze turn to himself, Xu Qing took two steps back in fear and shouted, ¡°Now we are the same hunter, it¡¯s useless if you just kill me, and it doesn¡¯t increase the time. Brother, have mercy on others, ah.¡±

    Just like setting off the words¡¯ hunter ¡®in his words. The electronic sound suddenly sounded, releasing the the third mock examination rule.

    [The second mode is over. The total number of players in this copy is 10,000, after the elimination of the second mode, the remaining number is 4,723, the elimination rate is 47.23%.]

    [This hidden branch line found player: Xia Yihui.]

    Xia Yihui froze. Feeling a number of eyes wandering over himself, his face turned ugly.

    When he thought that the electronic voice just broadcasted the word ¡®Xia Yihui¡¯ directly, he felt overwhelmed.

    If the players of this copy were compared to the stranded people on the island, then the behavior of the electronic voice just now was almost telling all the stranded people.

    ¡ª There is a man named Xia Yihui among you who holds the secret to get out. To know what the secret is, you must find Xia Yihui and seize the secret.

    Let¡¯s put it this way. Before the list change, because of the list, Xia Yihui was the target of the entire science students.

    And after the list change, it was hard to mete out from the list. As a result, because of this hidden branch, Xia Yihui simply became a target with long legs, and very tragically became the target of the entire copy of the surviving players.

    The electronic sound continued.

    [For one hour from now on, the live stream is closed and the list is hidden.]

    [Please note your time, there is not much time left!]

    Slippery: Expect the anchor to kill the science student back! Charge!!!

    There was no difference between hunter and prey?

    What did they mean?

    Before Xia Yihui could inquire in detail, the live screen went dark and all the comments disappeared.

    Viewers all over the world connected to the Star Network were kicked out of the live stream.

    After a moment of silence, everyone coincidentally logged into the escape forum, their fingers crackling on the keyboard, excitedly exchanging what they had seen and heard during the second mode.

    The forum was full of posts.

    The background of the copy was the same, but the direction was completely different. The points that people were discuss are naturally very numerous.

    Among the many posts, one named ¡®Surprise! No. 078 copy developed a hidden branch, me and my buddies are stunned! The post quickly rose to the top.

    In no time, this post was topped as a HOT hot post.

    Countless people replied to the post, discussing the legendary hidden branch line, and Xia Yihui, as the first person to discover the branch line, was also being discussed and followed by everyone.

    The first person was always different.

    Just as the forum was caught in an unprecedented firestorm, the atmosphere on the other side was equally explosive.

    Those who were lying on the ground cried out in horror and prostrated themselves backwards.

    Among them, the long-armed man couldn¡¯t bear the terrifying atmosphere and cursed, ¡°Great god Zhang, leave a line on everything! We are all prey now, you just can¡¯t get time even if you kill me, why do you need to rush to kill?¡±

    Zhang Qingyu glanced at him coldly, and the man was scared and immediately silenced. Just now, he looked very tough, but with this glance, he was stunned and immediately deflated.

    The man who was with him cursed in his heart and wanted to send him out directly with a knife.

    Big boss Zhang obviously didn¡¯t take them seriously and was thinking of tidying up Xu Qing. Was this person howling blindly that he didn¡¯t want to die fast enough? Even if it was, don¡¯t drag everyone down!

    Xu Qing on the other side wasn¡¯t feeling well.

    Seeing Zhang Qingyu coming head-on, Xu Qing¡¯s legs and stomach trembled. Reason told him to run, but his body instinctively froze, her couldn¡¯t move.

    For some reason, he felt that Zhang Qingyu had become so powerful that he was invincible, and it was useless to run away.

    Finally, Xu Qing couldn¡¯t help the fear inside and turned his head to Xia Yihui for help, ¡°Please, save me, save us!¡±

    This statement actually played a role. Zhang Qingyu paused and turned his head to look at Xia Yihua. His eyes were clear and his face was pale, saying, ¡°Do you want to save them?¡±

    The question was so calm that one couldn¡¯t tell what he was thinking.

    Xia Yihui hesitated for a moment, deliberating: ¡°If I want to save, what will you do?¡± Would he take him out with them?

    Zhang Qingyu said succinctly, ¡°Then let go.¡±

    Everyone froze. This answer was so surprising that for a moment, the crowd didn¡¯t even react.

    Those who were lying on the ground were so excited that they were about to cry, and a huge hope erupted in their hearts.

    There was a chance! As long as they got past Xia Yihui, maybe Zhang Qingyu would really let them go!

    With pleading eyes, the crowd turned their heads to look at Xia Yihui, hoping that Xia Yihui would be magnanimous and would disregard the past.

    ¡°Huh? Let them go?¡± Xia Yihui shook his head like a rattle, full of incredulity, ¡°They just surrounded and tried to kill me eh. I am not the Virgin Mary, I won¡¯t save them, if you want to, they can be steamed, fried, or boiled, it depends on your mood. If it is convenient, please let me come with a knife.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­¡± The scene was silent.

    If the live room hadn¡¯t been closed at this time, the comments would have started to brush the screen like crazy.

    ¨CThe most coquettish anchor of the whole star network, big boss Wardma, you deserve this title!

 CH 10

    Seeing Xia Yihui¡¯s icy cold eyes, Xu Qing¡¯s blood was cold all over his body.

    At this moment, he was only filled with hatred.

    He knew he was wrong, but why was he still unwilling to let him go?

    Since he couldn¡¯t beg others, he could only rely on himself!

    Without saying anything, Xu Qing directly turned around and fled.

    His skill was Sprint, and his speed was enhanced to twice that of a normal person. Therefore, he ran extraordinarily windy, with a fast and large pace, and in the blink of an eye, he flew more than ten meters away.

    Feeling the temperature around him drop a bit, Xu Qing was pleased. No matter how bullish Zhang Qingyu, as long as he couldn¡¯t catch up, it was all in vain.

    Even if he was strong, so what? He couldn¡¯t hurt him, so he could only watch him escape!

    The sound of feet breaking glass disappeared, Xu Qing thought he had run out of the center of the conflict. He was ecstatic when he suddenly froze.

    His foot was moving, but the scene around him didn¡¯t move at all.

    Xu Qing looked towards his feet in horror, froze for two seconds, and screamed out in terror.

    ¡°What¡¯s going on?!¡± His feet were actually levitating off the ground!

    Behind him, Zhang Qingyu¡¯s arm was raised flat and his five fingers were spread out, facing Xu Qing across the air. A trace of strain passed between his eyebrows, obviously the skill wasn¡¯t used purely, and he was still slightly uncomfortable lifting a tall man directly.

    ¡°What kind of skill is this!¡± The crowd whispered, unanimously revealing a fearful look.

    Zhang Qingyu frowned and waved his hand lightly to the side. Almost at the same time, Xu Qing seemed to be hit by something heavy, completely defying Newton¡¯s law, smashing over flat to the back and falling directly into the crowd lying on the ground.

    The crowd dodged, their faces ashen.

    Couldn¡¯t fight, and couldn¡¯t escape. It seemed that today was a certain death.

    Watching Zhang Qingyu walk slowly, many people closed their eyes in despair and waited for the final verdict.

    The ¡®da, da¡¯ footsteps were exceptionally loud in the empty corridor, a ground of broken glass was stepped on and clicked, slowly but firmly disintegrating the string called sanity in the hearts of the crowd.

    In a daze, the crowd seemed to see visions of their own tragic deaths. It was like the crucible was about to explode, the calm before the storm.

    Just at this desperate moment, a clear voice said, ¡°Wait a minute!¡±

    Zhang Qingyu¡¯s steps paused, and the numbing ear-splitting sound of crushing broken glass finally stopped.

    Everyone desperately looked at Xia Yihui, and the dead eyes became clear again.

    Could it be that Xia Yihui had forgiven? Finally picked up his compassion and decided to spare them?

    ¡°I still have something I want to ask, can I?¡± Xia Yihui looked at Zhang Qingyu.

    The crowd hung their heads in dismay. So he wasn¡¯t trying to save them ¡­¡­

    On the other hand, Zhang Qingyu nodded directly, without the slightest intention of dragging his feet. With his approval, Xia Yihui was immediately at ease. After all, the two didn¡¯t know each other, now that Zhang Qingyu was willing to sell him this face, it was very good.

    Xia Yihui walked up to the field of remnants and asked, ¡°When you turned the corner just now, why did you attack me?¡±

    Next to him, Xu Qing snorted and said disdainfully, ¡°You are the prey and these people are the hunters. Isn¡¯t it natural for them to kill you?¡±

    Xia Yihua looked at Xu Qing with a dark gaze, ¡°If you have been living with this mindset all day today, I regret to tell you. When you return to the real world, you will be finished.¡±

    Xu Qing was stunned, ¡°What, what do you mean?¡±

    Xia Yihui grinned, ¡°Come on, you¡¯ve killed so many people, are they really dead? No. It was just game over, they¡¯re out of the game. Those people who died tragically at your hands, are you sure they won¡¯t take revenge on you when they return to the real world?¡±

    Xu Qing¡¯s face turned pale. He had killed so many people today, including many big bosses of listed companies.

    In the real world, he was just a salted fish who suffered from the white eyes of his boss. All he did in his daytime was physical work. Only in this killing game, could he have a meaningful existence.

    Once back in the real world, he was nothing, just an illiterate with an empty body without strength.

    Big bosses could exploit him if they wanted, and if possible, they could even kill him without anyone knowing.

    Thinking about it, Xu Qing was shocked.

    It turned out that at the very beginning, he was brainwashed by the rules of the game. He only considered the escape in the moment, not the aftermath of the exit.

    And if he wanted to turn over in the real world, he had to keep passing in this game and become the final anchor. If the whole world was watching him, who would dare harm him?

    Obviously the crowd thought of this matter and their faces were all a bit ugly.

    The middle-aged man next to him who could make fireballs reacted extremely fast and figured this out, he quickly crawled to Xia Yihui¡¯s feet and eagerly said, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you everything you want to know. I only have one request, don¡¯t kill me!¡±

    Xia Yihui¡¯s eyes rolled for a moment, ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t kill you. Now can you tell me why you want to target me? Don¡¯t talk about hunter and prey, you¡¯ve obviously been in ambush for a long time and have come prepared.¡±

    The long-armed man pulled the middle-aged man, his face full of resentment, and wouldn¡¯t let him talk. His arms were scorched black, his skills were basically abandoned, and he had no hope of passing even if he managed to survive. At this point, he only blamed all the fault on Xia Yihui, and didn¡¯t want to die to make Xia Yihui feel better.

    The middle-aged man, with a strong desire to live, pushed him away directly and didn¡¯t hide anything: ¡°After you entered that office, the list coordinates didn¡¯t change again. We occupied thia place and prepared to ambush you.¡±

    Amused, Xia Yihui asked, ¡°Why are you the only ones? I feel like I¡¯m still quite sought after. I just came out of the office and saw only two waves of people, to be honest I was quite disappointed.¡±

    ¡°That big guy.¡± The middle-aged man nudged the corner of his mouth toward Xu Qing, his eyes taking on a bit of sarcasm.

    ¡°He is a spy we put in place to make you let your guard down. Now there are very few formed groups inside the copy, and they are still all crooked people gathering together for self-defense. Our small group is different, we all have skills, after taking over this spoke, no one dared to come over.¡±

    Although the idea made sense, the reality was very skeletal, after a thousand calculations, these people didn¡¯t calculate that Zhang Qingyu would intervene.

    The middle-aged man felt a bit helpless, ¡°You are really lucky, you coincidentally met boss Zhang getting food, otherwise today you couldn¡¯t escape.¡±

    Xia Yihui was puzzled: ¡°Getting food?¡± He looked at Zhang Qingyu. The latter calmly replied, ¡°The endurance value is almost gone, I came out to find some food.¡±

    Endurance was almost gone? Not really. The the second mock examination just passed by one day. There were still 70 stamina points left after three meals a day. How could it be so fast?

    There were only a few ways to consume endurance: skipping meals, exhaustion, and bleeding excessively

    Could it be that Zhang Qingyu was injured?

    Xia Yihui carefully examined Zhang Qingyu, but he didn¡¯t find anything unusual. After thinking about it, he felt that the two weren¡¯t familiar with each other, and it felt a bit out of bounds to take the risk of asking if he was injured.

    So he skipped this matter and chose to ask about another matter.

    ¡°You didn¡¯t buy milk and bread yourself?¡±

    ¡°No, I didn¡¯t.¡±

    ¡°Then what did you use the currency for?¡±

    ¡°Gu*ns.¡±

    The crowd was silent.

    At a time when everyone¡¯s weapons were still ballpoint pens and English-Chinese dictionaries, the god had actually used g*uns.

    Everyone was puzzled. Why was the gap between people so big? Some people were still struggling at the starting point, while some people had figured out the law and mixed like a fish in water.

    Xia Yihui wanted to ask how much it was, but he certainly couldn¡¯t afford to buy. He simply said: ¡°Can you show me?¡±

    A g*un was flung into Xia Yihui¡¯s hands, it was quite heavy, the trigger and bullet parts were polished, the entire body of the g*un looked clean.

    With a clever twist of the finger on the g*un, the magazine popped out and was empty inside. Xia Yihui was stunned, ¡°Why isn¡¯t it loaded?¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­¡± Zhang Qingyu glanced at Xia Yihui, his tone was flat, ¡°After buying it, I realized that the mall doesn¡¯t sell bullets.¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­ ¡°Xia Yihui accidentally laughed out loud, ¡°Pfft.¡±

    Zhang Qingyu looked away, but his expression was a little stiff.

    Xia Yihui coughed lightly twice, holding back his laughter as he returned the gu-n. In fact, he felt quite amazed, Zhang Qingyu¡¯s performance was just too good, it felt like everything could be solved handsomely.

    He didn¡¯t think that the bullying Zhang Qingyu, would actually make such small mistakes.

    Why did he feel some unexpected ¡­¡­ contrasts?

    Xia Yihui shook off this strange idea, pretending to be fierce as he continued to interrogate: ¡°Have you met a young man inside this building, about twenty years old, with curly hair, thick lips, and little freckles on his face.¡±

    To be honest Xia Yihui wasn¡¯t very angry, after all, he didn¡¯t have much expectations for Liu Zite.

    But since he promised to educate the audience in the live broadcast room through this matter, he must do what he said and couldn¡¯t let Liu Zite be at ease.

    ¡°There are a lot of people with such characteristics ¡­¡­¡± the middle-aged man had a headache. So many players inside the copy, how could he remembered that many?

    Xu Qing on the side came back from the blow, heard Xia Yihui¡¯s question and hurriedly called out: ¡°I know who you are talking about and I know where he is. If you let me go, I¡¯ll tell you.¡±

    Xia Yihui was patient: ¡°Okay, you say.¡±

    ¡°When I was waiting for you outside, I saw him being led away. The people who led him were not good, so I didn¡¯t bother him. But before leaving I heard them say that they were going to ¡­¡­¡± Xu Qing paused and doubted, ¡°If I say it. You won¡¯t go back on your word, right?¡±

    Xia Yihui said: ¡°I swear, as long as you say his location, I will let you go, can you? If I go back on my word, you can come to me later to settle the score if you get out of the copy.¡±

    This remark poked Xu Qing¡¯s sore spot. He knew the weight of the words ¡®real world¡¯.

    Xu Qing nodded, ¡°They said they were going to the principal¡¯s office to see.¡±

    Xia Yihui nodded, but Xu Qing still looked a little hesitant, he thought he was still not sure of his credit, and took the initiative, ¡°I live in S city. City north interchange on the China CDC, you talk to the receptionist to find the biological drug supervision Xia Yi ¡­¡­¡±

    Halfway through his words, he saw all the people on the ground coincidentally showed a horrified expression.

    Xia Yihui¡¯s voice gradually weakened to nothing, he was confused: ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why do you guys look like you¡¯ve seen a ghost?¡±

    ¡°Brother, even if you¡¯re cheating people, you have to pretend a little? You are a bit unkind ah.¡± One of the people lying on the ground stammered, ¡°Didn¡¯t S City become an empty city ten years ago? Everyone is dead, what do you want us to find?¡±

    Xia Yihui froze, full of bewilderment.

    Seeing that his expression didn¡¯t look fake, the crowd also feel confused, one of them spoke: ¡°I was still in college, that is, ten years ago. At that time, all students were suddenly on vacation, and all of them were ordered not to leave their homes or gather in one place, even the Internet was not working at times. During that period of time, people were afraid that something had happened, that there might be a wa-r or something.¡±

    ¡°It wasn¡¯t until the whole thing was over that we learned it wasn¡¯t a w-ar, it was an epidemic.¡±

    ¡°At that time, a huge outbreak of infectious disease in S city broke out, the infection was extremely strong, the entire city was on total lockdown, people outside didn¡¯t know exactly what infectious disease it was. Even after ten years, there are still people speculating, in the end what infectious disease was so horrible that people thousands of miles away actually had to hide in their homes for refuge.¡±

    Xia Yihui was still a bit confused, he listened to these words as if listening to a story, he froze, ¡°You mean, everyone in S city got infected and died out?¡±

    ¡°Brother, you are really good at acting, I almost took it seriously. But joking about a national tragedy is a bit too much.¡± The man frowned, suspicious: ¡°In order to completely cut off the source of the epidemic, a nuclear bom-b was dropped on the city. Such a big thing, you actually don¡¯t remember?¡±

 CH 11

    C11 ¡ª¨C Campus Gladiatorial Arena (IX)

    ¡°¡­¡­¡± Xia Yihui was dumbfounded.

    Remember what? He really didn¡¯t know. What infectious disease? What nuclear bo-mb? He was from S city, how could he not know anything at all?

    And ten years ago ¡­¡­ ten years ago he was only 15 years old and hadn¡¯t entered the Institute. If S city was bombed, then he was in a dream pharmaceuticals these ten years?

    ¡°Is China hosting the Olympics this year? In S city? ¡°Xia Yihui frowned and asked.

    He remembered the day before the accident at the research institute, he happily opened two bottles of draft beer to celebrate the upcoming Olympic Games. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, everything exploded.

    If he used the events of the Olympics as a milestone, he should be able to quickly determine the time, right?

    ¡°Yes, S city was hosting the Olympics.¡±

    Xia Yihui breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of his mouth just raised, but the middle-aged man said with an unbelievable expression: ¡°But not this year, the Olympic Games in S City was a decade ago, because of the epidemic, the Olympic Games that year wasn¡¯t done. The nuclear bo-mb killed tens of millions of people, the country was in mourning, what Olympic Games could happen?¡±

    Then how was he still alive? Xia Yihui frowned, took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and tried to analyze the situation in front of him.

    The current situation, he thought the most appropriate explanation should be as follows:

    When something happened to the Institute back then, he directly became a vegetable and was unconscious.

    During that time, an epidemic broke out in the city of S. As a researcher in biopharmaceuticals, the state must have given priority to saving him.

    Not long after he was shipped out, the contagion could not be controlled. In order to prevent the spread of the disease to the whole country and the world, a nuclear bomb was dropped directly on the city of S. It was a permanent disaster.

    He was lucky to have survived the nuclear b-omb crisis.

    During the vegetative period, because he didn¡¯t know everything that had happened, he had been asleep, so there was no concept of time passing.

    Until the escape game opened and the mandatory extraction of human consciousness into virtual space happened. And he was awakened by the game by mistake and was brought in together.

    Only this explanation made sense on why he would somehow have less than ten years of memory.

    ¡°Inside this game, when others die, they can still go back to the real world. If I die, it could be real brain death!¡± Thinking of this, Xia Yihui¡¯s expression turned ugly.

    Suddenly, a scream interrupted his thoughts. Xia Yihui immediately raised his head to look at the source of the sound.

    The middle-aged man¡¯s expression was full of panic. Just now, the watch in his hand flew up in the air and went to Zhang Qingyu¡¯s hand.

    ¡°What are you doing? We are all prey now, what are you doing with my watch?!¡±

    Zhang Qingyu docked his watch with the middle-aged man¡¯s watch. After three seconds of silence, the middle-aged man suddenly wailed in pain, and his face went gray with a speed visible to the naked eye.

    The remaining time ran out, and the middle-aged man was directly out, without a word to say. Beside him, a bottle of milk and three pieces of bread burst out.

    The crowd began to panic.

    ¡°Crap, what, what¡¯s the situation?¡±

    ¡°Isn¡¯t Zhang Qingyu a science student? In the third mode, science is the prey ah, why can he take away other people¡¯s time?¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s so unfair! On what grounds?¡±

    ¡°No wonder he leveled up so fast!!!¡±

    ¡°This has nothing to do with leveling up, right, but the point of taking away time alone is indeed like a CHEAT.¡±

    After taking away the middle-aged man¡¯s time, Zhang Qingyu didn¡¯t stop. He looked at the remaining people and with a slight flick of his finger, dozens of watches were grabbed into his hands.

    The crowd dared not speak in anger, but only secret hated in their hearts.

    The long-armed man looked at Xia Yihui and angrily rebuked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say you would let us go?!¡±

    ¡°¡­¡­¡± Xia Yihui was also helpless. He didn¡¯t have the idea of sending these people out for the time being, he still had so many questions left to ask.

    ¡°Liar!!!¡±

    ¡°Disgusting! You clearly said you would let us go!¡±

    ¡°I knew it was like this, to be stupid enough to trust someone like you. Sure enough, the ones who can mix in the top 10 in the opening can¡¯t be good.¡±

    The crowd didn¡¯t know Xia Yihui¡¯s thoughts, they only thought he had gone back on his word, so they looked at him angrily, all kinds of unpleasant words scolded out.

    Xia Yihui felt innocent, he gestured to Zhang Qingyu: ¡°Hey, hey, the one who hurt you is that handsome guy over there, and now the one who wants to harvest your lives is also him. I didn¡¯t do anything, I¡¯m completely the victim, at most i just witnessed the death, is this very bad?¡±

    The crowd stared angrily, not listening to his explanation.

    After half a day of thinking and feeling innocent, Xia Yihui simply stood with his arms crossed, ignoring the cold eyes.

    After a few curses those people were silent, their faces quickly turned white, their eye sockets sunken, and their eyes gradually lost focus.

    Obviously, these people¡¯s time was taken away and were out of the game.

    At the corpse side, milk and bread scrambled out, Xia Yihui saw a bottle of medicine inside.

    Xu Qing¡¯s eyes were wide open and full of despair. Seeing Zhang Qingyu collect those people watches, he knew it would soon be his turn. When he thought of the things he would have to face back in the real world, he felt chilled.

    Hearing the gasps of the people beside him, Xu Qing fell into deep thought. Since he had already made it this far, he was not afraid to lose his mind some more.

    Maybe if he levelled up he could get away with it?

    He silently recited a ¡®sorry¡¯ in his heart, then became ruthless, be picked up the broken glass on the ground, quickly slashed towards a few people who hadn¡¯t yet been robbed of time and cut their necks, blood gushed out.

    Those people with blood in their throats could not make a sound, their hearts were chilled, and they only stared at Xu Qing with dead eyes, full of disbelief.

    [Killed a total of 4 players, gained 450 experience].

    [You have upgraded, current level S6.]

    [The player level required for the evolution of your skill Sprint lv1 has been reached. Evolution is about to enhance abilities and add new characteristics.]

    [In this copy, your skill will not be available unless evolved.] [Your skill will not be available unless evolved.]

    [Please ask if you pay 100 currency to choose evolution?]

    Xu Qing was stunned and wildly happy in his heart. Originally, he only wanted to upgrade his level, but he didn¡¯t expect to be able to evolve his skills!

    Before Zhang Qingyu could snatch his watch, Xu Qing urged loudly, ¡°I¡¯ll change I¡¯ll change, hurry!¡±

    Xia Yihui took a step back, always ready to bolt.

    When he was reading the forum earlier, he had seen people discussing what the lv.1 behind the skill meant.

    At that time, someone guessed that the skill could evolve, and this guess was unanimously approved by everyone. But no one in the forum has actually evolved, so we can¡¯t be sure.

    But now it was certain that the skills could evolve. And the evolution also required two prerequisites.

    ¡ª player level and currency.

    Thinking about currency, Xia Yihui was a bit helpless. Last game he was happy to upgrade to S3, opened the store, and happily bought a bunch of things.

    Who knew the Infinite Escape game was actually so pitiful.

    The vast majority of people wouldn¡¯t consider evolving skills. Those who could open the store must be able to buy as much as they could, they¡¯d spend all the currency and weren¡¯t likely to keep it.

    From this perspective, it was obvious that those who failed to advance to S3 in the previous round and didn¡¯t open stores have a real advantage!

    Buying more food, drinks and defense gear, weren¡¯t as cost-effective as upgrading skills. Because upgrading skills was equivalent to directly improve the combat power.

    ¡°Fortunately, I did not buy supplies for that 500, but got a new skill, otherwise it¡¯d be too much of a loss.¡±

    Xia Yihui was distressed by those who hadn¡¯t raised enough money to 500, but were close to 500.

    These people were absolutely impulsive, crazy shoppers, and had spent all their money.

    Old skills couldn¡¯t be upgraded, and new skills couldn¡¯t be bought. It was like losing a billion ah! He was heartbroken for those people!

    While Xia Yihui was stifling his sigh, the electronic sound continued.

    [ Your skill Sprint lv1 is upgraded to Sprint lv2.]

    At the same time, a line of sprint lv2 skill notes appeared in the air, a line that only the skill holder himself could see.

    Xu Qing looked at the line and noticed that the lv2 speed was doubled. He froze, his eyes slowly flooded with blood, and his whole face was written with the word excitement.

    With a roar, perhaps fearing death, his body exploded with tremendous function, and with a single step, his entire body shot out like a rocket launcher, rushing towards Zhang Qingyu.

    Xia Yihui could almost only see Xu Qing¡¯s residual shadow, and was secretly staggered: once the skill evolved, Xu Qing¡¯s speed had at least quintupled!

    Adhering to a mentality of eating melons among the masses, Xia Yihui stood leisurely on the side, looking at how big boss Zhang would deal with Xu Qing.

 CH 12

    Posted on June 4, 2023by UntamedS

    Zhang Qingyu¡¯s eyes were calm, and he looked sideways at Xu Qing.

    Pretending, right?! He must be scared to death right now! Xu Qing was terrified, soothing himself in his heart.

    The distance was fiercely drawn closer, seeing only a couple of meters left. As if in the blink of an eye, his attack would land on Zhang Qingyu.

    Xu Qing was wildly happy, and just then.

    ¡°Boom!!!¡± An overwhelming burst of sound came from the sky.

    Xu Qing was so startled that he took a step and subconsciously looked back, and when he did, his scalp was tingling.

    The windows of the entire floor were shattered, small broken glasses hung upside down, eagerly pointing towards him.

    There was no doubt that if he took one more step forward, the glass would greet him without mercy, stabbing him into a hedgehog.

    Xu Qing hesitated for a moment, and then sneered repeatedly. If you can¡¯t beat Zhang Qingyu, then take Xia Yihui as a hostage!

    He heard that Zhang Qingyu wouldn¡¯t easily hurt people, and even save the old and sick. He didn¡¯t believe it, with a hostage in his hand, these glass still dare to greet him on the head?

    Xu Qing immediately turned and changed the target to Xia Yihui. Large pieces of glass were driven by someone to chase him.

    After upgrading to lv2, Xu Qing¡¯s speed was much faster, in a blink of an eye, he took Xia Yihui hostage, holding him from the side and choking his neck, then he shouted: ¡°Zhang Da Shen, I said, leave a line in everything. If you let me go today, I will naturally let go of this little brother.¡±

    Zhang Qingyu frowned, his eyes deepened, and apparently began to hesitate.

    Beside him floated countless crystal bright small glass, at this time these glass at the same time issued a certain frequency of buzzing, neat and tidy, appearing dangerous to the extreme.

    Cold sweat flowed down Xu Qing¡¯s forehead, he could feel the power of these sharp glass.

    It was because he could feel the danger, his heart was more frightened.

    After thinking about it, he threatened Xia Yihui in a low voice, ¡°Say something to beg for mercy to convince Zhang Qingyu. Hurry up, or I¡¯ll kill you!¡±

    After waiting for a while, the person in his arm didn¡¯t react much. Was he scared silly?

    Xu Qing was disgusted, he took a moment to look at Xia Yihui, but saw that Xia Yihui lowered his head, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.

    ¡°You, what are you smiling at?¡± Xu Qing got a chill, and spoke with some incoherence.

    Xia Yihui raised his eyes, a flash of light appeared in his eyes, as he whispered, ¡°I¡¯m laughing at you.¡±

    After saying that, Xia Yihui raised his left foot and stepped down hard, heavily stepping on Xu Qing¡¯s toes. At the same time, his left hand clenched his fist and hammered hard backwards, hitting his crotch.

    Xu Qing howled in pain, his body bowed down, and the veins on his neck burst out, ¡°Ow!!!¡±

    Xia Yihui didn¡¯t give him the opportunity to slow down, he directly yanked Xu Qing¡¯s arm, turning it into a sharp over-the-shoulder drop.

    Xu Qing, an eight-foot man, was dropped by Xia Yihui like a flying cake, his internal organs seemed to be misplaced, he couldn¡¯t even say a word because of the pain.

    Xia Yihui stepped on Xu Qing¡¯s belly with his right foot and patted his hands in disgust. His foot stomped harder.

    ¡°I¡¯m laughing at you. What¡¯s the use of fast light speed? I¡¯ll wait for you to stop and hit me? Besides, if you¡¯re holding a hostage and you pinch my neck with your hand, can I be strangled by you? Brother, remember to take a gun next time, even if you don¡¯t have a gu-n, a knife will do.¡±

    Xia Yihui painstakingly taught Xu Qing how to take hostages, but the latter was too dumbfounded to respond.

    After teaching, Xia Yihui turned his head to look at Zhang Qingyu, and winked proudly: ¡°How was it? Not bad, right?¡±

    Zhang Qingyu¡¯s lips hooked up, a trace of approval flowed in his eyes, ¡°You can save yourself, very good.¡±

    ¡°Hahahaha, it wasn¡¯t much. ¡°Although he was so humble on his lips, Xia Yihui was already so happy that he couldn¡¯t find the north in her heart.

    This was the first time he had seen this Zhang Dashen show an expression beyond facial paralysis. He didn¡¯t have facial paralysis, but his previous level was too low, so he didn¡¯t bother to pay attention to him.

    The two feelings were completely different from being worshipped by the comment screen and being praised by the no.1 god.

    The watchers¡¯ worship only showed that he was in the middle to upper level. The god¡¯s praise, that was the top of the pyramid ah!

    By comparison, Xia Yihua felt that the praise from the Great god was even more exciting.

    He was about to speak, when suddenly there was a bright flash of light at the side of his eyes.

    Xu Qing lying at Xia Yihui¡¯s feet, held a sharp glass, enduring the pain on his crotch, he aimed at Xia Yihui¡¯s hamstring. He seemed to have listened to Xia Yihui¡¯s ¡®sage advice¡¯, and immediately practised.

    His speed was really too fast. Xia Yihua only saw Xu Qing wielding his blade in the previous second, and the glass hit his ankle in the next second

    Stupid stupid stupid stupid!!!

    Xia Yihui cursed in his heart, he was simply dumb.

    He couldn¡¯t believe he taught someone to stab him with a knife.

    How could he not stumble after that?

    He thought the next second would cause great pain, however, it didn¡¯t.

    His skin felt the hint of coolness, but only a light stroke, the glass was stoned in the air.

    Xu Qing moved his hands together, the piece of glass remained fixed in the air, not moving at all.

    Xia Yihua was stunned for a moment and pulled up his school uniform pants to see if there were any red marks. He turned his head and instinctively looked at Zhang Qingyu. The latter raised his palm and was clearly controlling the glass.

    Xia Yihua froze, touched his nose and sighed, ¡°Hey, it turns out you still have to save me.¡±

    ¡°No matter.¡± Zhang Qingyu manipulated the glass and slashed at Xu Qing¡¯s body.

    Xu Qing was shocked and thought that Zhang Qingyu was finally going to strike hard and take him apart, but instead he saw that the glass simply cut a long slit on the chest of his black school uniform.

    Fatty flesh propped up that slit, and Xu Qing was stunned.

    ¡°?¡± Xia Yihui was also dumbfounded.

    What kind of special fetish was this? Or did the Great god just not control the strength and slashed the clothes alone?

    An arc was drawn in the air, and Xu Qing¡¯s watch flew into Zhang Qingyu¡¯s hands.

    Seeing that there was no room for maneuvering, Xu Qing pulled Xia Yihui¡¯s trouser leg before he died and said viciously: ¡°Don¡¯t be too happy, Zhang Qingyu even kills his own kind, how can he let you, an outsider! We¡¯ll settle the score in the real world!¡±

    As soon as the words left his mouth, his face quickly turned gray, and it was obvious that time had been taken away.

    At the same time, 2 bottles of milk burst out of his side.

    Counting up, there were more than 10 people present, all science students, which meant they were all hunters. All of these people were defeated, their time was taken away by Zhang Qingyu, and many ¡®small gifts¡¯ were left behind.

    Adding up the time Zhang Qingyu took, after a rough calculation, it was at least 240 hours. With this place of milk bread, he could at least stay in the copy for ten days.

    Xia Yihui was instantly alert.

    Xu Qing was a bit stupid, but he was right about that. Zhang Qingyu as a prey, since he could take the time of other prey, he may also be able to take his time as a hunter.

    Once a live viewer posted a comment saying, ¡®To Zhang Qingyu, there is no difference between hunter and prey¡¯.

    At that time Xia Yihui didn¡¯t understand the meaning of this sentence, now he finally understood.

    But there was no difference, now Zhang Qingyu basically stood at the top of the food chain, regardless of whether it was the hunter or the prey, anyway, they had to avoid him.

    Although he didn¡¯t know what he did, there was no doubt that for Zhang Qingyu, this dungeon was essentially a feeding den.

    Xia Yihui looked relaxed, ¡°Since the matter is over, I¡¯m leaving. Thank you for saving me just now. You can find me in the future if you need me.¡±

    He immediately turned around, eager to flee. He took two steps like a race walk and suddenly rose into the air, floating there.

    This damn familiar rush!!!

    Wasn¡¯t that the same rhythm when Zhang Qingyu tidied up Xu Qing? Hang in the air first, then beat hard.

    Zhang Qingyu slowly approached, with little glass spinning behind him. Some of the small glass approached Xia Yihui and immediately cut open Xia Yihui¡¯s shoulder clothes.

    When Xia Yihua was hit by the cool and piercing wind, he suddenly felt uncomfortable and exclaimed, ¡°Why are you cutting through my clothes?¡±

    After a pause, he negotiated with a little breakdown, ¡°Or I can take it off myself?¡±

    As he spoke, he directly began to pull up his white school uniform, trying to prove that his words were true.

 CH 13

    9-11 minutes

    But it was impossible to take it off.

    And the clothes in the copy couldn¡¯t be taken off. After pulling for a long time, the white school uniform remained as strong as gold.

    Zhang Qingyu frowned, his footsteps accelerated a little. He seemed to be trying to grab Xia Yihui¡¯s front and stop him from yelling and taking off his clothes.

    This gave Xia Yihui an illusion.

    Similar to ¡®in order to not let you continue to pollute my ears and sight, I have to hurry to your side to kill you¡¯ illusion.

    Deeply aware of his mouth harming him, Xia Yihui wanted to cry, the grip around him became more powerful. Soon, he found that he couldn¡¯t even touch the ground, and could only quickly give up and turn to pretend to be profound, ¡°Do you know who I am?¡±

    Zhang Qingyu walked up to Xia Yihui and said slightly helplessly, ¡°Xia Yihui of the Chinese CDC?¡±

    Xia Yihui felt suffocated. He originally wanted to use this identity to shock Zhang Qingyu, but it turned out that this guy was aware!

    In fact, Xia Yihui didn¡¯t think his identity was too impressive. There were more impressive people in the research institute than him.

    After spending 10 years in the research institute, at the age of 25, he conducted his first independent experiment and had contact with various patients.

    It was during this period that he suddenly realized. In the eyes of these patients, every time he appeared, it felt like he was surrounded by a white light, and they almost sang the national anthem to welcome him.

    In a sense, the proposed medicine he was studying was likely to be the only hope for these patients to survive.

    ¡°How do you know my identity?¡± Xia Yihui inquired.

    Zhang Qingyu said flatly, ¡°You said so yourself.¡±

    Did he? Xia Yihui¡¯s face was almost filled with these two big words. He skipped over the question, his mind tumbling around, thinking of an escape plan.

    Before he could even think about it, Zhang Qingyu directly took his hand.

    Feeling his cold grip, Xia Yihui stiffened, he almost immediately tried to shake it off.

    Thinking of Zhang Qingyu¡¯s previous operation of cutting clothes with glass, Xia Yihui trembled, he quickly grabbed his collar with his other hand and said tentatively, ¡°Great god, do you lack love?¡±

    Zhang Qingyu didn¡¯t even raise his eyes, he calmly lifted Xia Yihui¡¯s hand, two fingers clasped his watch, both sides clicked on the button, directly removing his watch.

    Xia Yihui was shocked, ¡°What are you doing!!!¡±

    This was when he realized the seriousness of the problem, he finally began to get serious and became solemn.

    He thought better of it. If these words still couldn¡¯t make Zhang Qingyu let him go, then he¡¯d also pull Zhang Qingyu to die together.

    ¡°Big boss Zhang, those testy words before is my fault, calm down.¡±

    ¡°To tell you the truth, before entering this game, I was already a vegetable. If you eliminate me from the game now, it¡¯s likely that I won¡¯t wake up in the real world.¡±

    ¡°Think clearly, the original purpose of this game is to escape and protect yourself, not to kill.¡±

    After saying that, Xia Yihui looked sincerely at Zhang Qingyu. The latter slowly raised his eyes and looked at him.

    Once he saw that there was a reaction, Xia Yihui immediately used his eyes to show his sincerity.

    Zhang Qingyu was stunned, he quickly lowered his head, his hand movements also accelerated a little.

    He attached the two watches together, to seize his time.

    ¡°¡­¡­ leave me some time!¡± Xia Yihui was angry, he began to struggle violently, trying to take back the watch.

    Perhaps because the skill hadn¡¯t been fully mastered, Xia Yihui¡¯s struggle exceeded Zhang Qingyu¡¯s control range.

    Zhang Qingyu¡¯s face showed a struggling expression, and then Xia Yihui fell from the air into his arms.

    Stumbling, Xia Yihui¡¯s hands tugged Zhang Qingyu¡¯s clothes, then he was surrounded and couldn¡¯t move.

    He felt that he might be dying. It so happened that his chin was on Zhang Qingyu¡¯s shoulder, so he took a bite.

    At this moment, he felt like he broke through the skin.

    After biting for a while, his grip was still firm, but he was fine, nothing had changed.

    He felt strange, then felt the back of his head being tapped a few times. He looked over sideways and saw the calm eyes of Zhang Qingyu.

    Xia Yigui obediently loosened his grip.

    ¡°Your watch.¡± Zhang Qingyu said.

    Xia Yihui snatched back the watch, annoyed, he pushed Zhang Qingyu. Zhang Qingyu remained motionless, but Xia Yihui fell on the broken glass on the ground because of the desperation he had just struggled with.

    At this point, the pain was no longer a concern, and most of his remaining time must have been taken away.

    Xia Yihui sat on the ground and tilted his face sarcastically, ¡°Should I thank you for leaving me a little time and not letting me die immediately?¡±

    Zhang Qingyu pursed his lips, stood in place for two seconds, and didn¡¯t retort, he turned around to collect the milk bread and other supplies on the ground.

    ¡°¡­¡­¡± Xia Yihui bit his lip, he knew he couldn¡¯t beat Zhang Qingyu now, it was imperative to see how much time he had left.

    His eyes swept over, Xia Yihui froze, afraid he had seen wrong, he closed his eyes and opened them again.

    ¨CRemaining time: 237 hours and 49 minutes

    Xia Yihui was confused, it felt like he became wealthy overnight.

    It just so happened that at this time Zhang Qingyu finished collecting the supplies, his fingers manipulated the bits and pieces and split them in half in the air, half were sent to Xia Yihui, half were incorporated into his space.

    Just like time, half of the time taken by more than 10 people present was given to Xia Yihui.

    Xia Yihui put on his watch, still a little confused.

    237 hours ah, that was rounded up to ten days!

    Was Zhang Qingyu crazy?

    He gave him ten days for no good reason!

    Seeing Zhang Qingyu who turned to leave without saying a word, and the black school uniform on his shoulder that was soaked with saliva and blood, Xia Yihui hurriedly shouted, ¡°Wait!¡±

    Zhang Qingyu turned around, ¡°What is it?¡±

    Xia Yihui wanted to ask why he had to give him so much time, but then felt embarrassed.

    He thought about it, and took out a single bottle of medicine from the supplies: ¡°This is for you, I have a bottle of my own.¡±

    Zhang Qingyu was concise, ¡°Keep it, I don¡¯t need it.¡±

    Xia Yihui choked, then helplessly explained, ¡°Sorry, I just thought you were going to kill me before I bit you. The wound on your shoulder is bleeding, bleeding will definitely accelerate the loss of stamina value¡­¡­ how much stamina value do you have now?¡±

    Zhang Qingyu moved his shoulder, ¡°113.¡±

    ¡°What?¡± Xia Yi Hui was surprised, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were running out of stamina value to come out and find food? And isn¡¯t the upper limit of stamina 100?¡±

    At this time, even Xia Yihui had a little doubt that Zhang Qingyu was normal.

    It was too strange, as a prey, Zhang Qingyu could actually grab and give time to others at will. On top of that, his stamina value directly exceeded 100! There were too many doubts!

    Zhang Qingyu: ¡°When promoted to S10, the stamina value will rise to 200. lv2 and above skills used again will consume stamina, and very quickly. That¡¯s why I collect supplies to prevent the stamina value from clearing directly after the battle.¡±

    Xia Yihui was a little surprised. He didn¡¯t expect that not only did Zhang Qingyu level up quickly, but his skills had actually evolved as well.

    This also meant that Zhang Qingyu had bought the gu-n in the cultivation space and still had at least 100 currency left over. He didn¡¯t use these currencies instead he kept them.

    How much confidence did this take?

    Most people spent all their currency to prepare for the next copy and try to pull their starting point up.

    Another thing, they were afraid that they would die in the next copy, and the unused currency would be wasted and not be cost effective.

    This was exactly what Xia Yihui thought and did.

    But Zhang Qingyu retaining currency involved a ¡®storage¡¯ concept.

    Accumulate less to prepare for something better. If you spend all the currency as soon as you have it, then if you meet a Saint level skill or weapon, then you can only look at it and crave it.

    In other words, Zhang Qingyu had great confidence that he wouldn¡¯t die inside the copy.

    The difference between people was really big. If he hadn¡¯t met Zhang Qingyu, maybe Xia Yihui would have kept spending all the currency, never hoarding money, staying in a vicious cycle.

    Thinking about it, Xia Yihui felt that the official Infinite Escape game was really too pitiful, everywhere held temptation that attracted players to go crooked.

    Until now, Xia Yihui had taken the crooked path of ¡®not knowing to keep the currency¡¯.

    Xia Yihui didn¡¯t like to take the wrong path the most. Except for the accident at the research institute, he had always been smooth sailing throughout his life.

    Noticing that the live broadcast room was about to reopen and the list was also about to appear.

    Xia Yihui sped up his speech, grinned and said to Zhang Qingyu, ¡°Big Boss Zhang, why don¡¯t we cooperate?¡±
