"Did you see the video just now? If we don't kill Ed now, once he recovers, it'll be us who die!"
"With your observational skills, you can't possibly miss how strong Ed and Bell are, right?"
"Even if we were at full strength, let alone now when our power is reduced by 50%, we still couldn't beat those two!"
Ding Longfei was a bit worried.
He had heard that Zhao Yi wasn't quite right in the head.
Would this guy lose it at a critical moment?
If so, it might affect the whole team!
Zhao Yi, who was roasting meat, turned his face to look at Ed, who was already restless from the smell of the meat, and shook his head, saying:
"No."
"He won't kill me."
"He'll only kill you."
As Zhao Yi said this, he suddenly paused, a strange smile appearing on his face.
"But if you want to kill Ed, I won't stop you."
"Go ahead."
Seeing his smile, Ding Longfei and Wei Yun became even more certain that something terrifying would happen if they tried to assassinate Ed!
After a short silence, Zhao Yi took out a small cloth bag and applied some strange, foul-smelling sauce on the meat.
Then he waved the meat under Ed's nose.
The latter was immediately stimulated and woke up.
Seeing the meat, a frenzy flashed in Ed's eyes, but he quickly realized something was wrong.
Although weak, Ed's face gradually turned ferocious!
Having eaten human flesh, that irresistible intoxicating aroma was already etched into his DNA.
"This meat... where did you get it?"
Zhao Yi's face was pale, and he said with lingering fear:
"Ed... you don't know, after you left, something terrifying happened..."
"Besides us, there's someone else hiding in the dark on this mountain... He's about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a full set of combat gear, and holding a very sharp knife. This guy suddenly attacked Ying Xiangying when he went to the bathroom. I followed the screams and found that Ying Xiangying was already half gone..."
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Hearing this, Ed suddenly sat up, eyes wide open!
About 1.8 meters tall.
Combat gear.
Sharp knife.
Damn it, who else could it be but Bell?
Damn!
We agreed on each bringing four pieces of food, and this bastard dared to steal while I was sick!
Unforgivable!
Seeing Ed, eyes red and exuding a terrifying killing intent, Zhao Yi continued:
"Sigh... you know our situation now. I thought eating our own kind was too cruel... but you're so sick now, if you don't eat some meat, your body might not hold up..."
"If that guy shows up again and you're still sick, wouldn't we be in great danger?"
Language is an art.
Zhao Yi guided patiently.
And Ding Longfei and Wei Yun, standing behind Zhao Yi, suddenly understood why Zhao Yi didn't kill Ed...
He wanted to use Ed to deal with Bell!
Clever!
Truly cunning!
The audience in the live streaming room was also in awe.
...
: This manipulation is truly impressive.
: Big trouble, I just came from Bell's player's live streaming room, and they've also discovered Bell's secret of eating people!
: There are many clues on Bell's side. The "Wilderness Survival" show is essentially a large-scale hunter's game created by the rich! The guests invited are actually homeless people or prostitutes from the city whose memories have been wiped...
: Damn... no wonder it's a hell-level dungeon, players not only have to fight extreme weather but also evade and resist Bell and Ed, these wilderness cannibals skilled in scouting and hunting!
: The players on that side have already started preparing to attack the players on Ed's side.
: Killing each other? Why! Shouldn't they unite?
: With food scarcity, what's the use of unity! Can unity fill your stomach?
: I get it, "Wilderness Survival" looks like a survival dungeon... but it's actually a hunting dungeon!
...
The biggest difference between a survival dungeon and a hunting dungeon is that the former may not necessarily result in death, while the latter inevitably does!
After learning the truth about this dungeon, the audience in the live streaming room felt their hearts race, becoming nervous!
Ed ate the meat coated with poison and started rolling his eyes again.
But whether it was because his body developed antibodies or the meat gave him strength, his consciousness was blurred but he didn't completely pass out.
At this moment, Zhao Yi began whispering softly in his ear.
He said a lot.
Ding Longfei and Wei Yun couldn't hear what Zhao Yi was saying.
But they could see Ed's expression gradually calming down with Zhao Yi's murmuring, no longer as ferocious as before.
He also whispered something back to Zhao Yi, but his eyes were strangely hollow, as if controlled by someone.
About half an hour later.
Ed fell asleep.
Only then did Zhao Yi get up, stretch lazily, and smile at the two:
"The time is about right, now, I want to discuss a business deal with you."
"This deal concerns your... lives."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yun and Ding Longfei's expressions immediately became much more serious.
Zhao Yi sat by the campfire, adding some dry wood to it.
"Each of you gives me 5000 points as an entry fee, and I'll take you through the game."
5000 is no small amount for players below level 15.
Having tasted success, Zhao Yi wasn't planning to stop.
How much are the points in the dungeon?
To earn points, you have to reap the benefits.
Previously, Zhao Yi fought tooth and nail in the Haunted School Horror dungeon to earn 8000.
In this dungeon, he sold a shirt and three pieces of information, earning 4500.
The difference is clear.
"Are you addicted to fleecing us?"
Hearing that they had to transfer another 5000, Wei Yun couldn't hold back!
This bastard... is simply a bottomless pit!
But Ding Longfei, after a moment of thought, agreed.
"Do you... have no backbone?"
Seeing Ding Longfei 'defect' so quickly, Wei Yun's expression was constipated.
Ding Longfei chuckled:
"I have no choice... 5000 is quite a lot for me, but if I can clear the hell-level dungeon, the rewards will be greater, and I might even get an S rating, which is the last rating I need to unlock the advanced store. I want to take the risk."
Wei Yun was silent for a long time, then gritted her teeth:
"Fine... let's take the risk!"
"Turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!"
【You have received 10000 points】
Receiving the system message, Zhao Yi finally spoke:
"Now we're all in the same boat, so I'll be honest with you, the danger we'll face next... isn't from Ed and Bell."
"It's from... the 4 players Bell brought."
Wei Yun glanced at the sleeping Ed, puzzled:
"How do you know he won't attack us in the next few days?"
Zhao Yi raised a finger.
"Because if he did, the dungeon's difficulty wouldn't be hell, it would be unsolvable."
"Can you survive being hunted by these two wilderness cannibals, with all their skills maxed out, for over ten days in such extreme conditions?"
Wei Yun was silent.
Zhao Yi continued:
"Under normal circumstances, for players to escape or even defeat Ed and Bell, they must first find a way to exhaust their stamina, reducing their strength, and the way to do that..."
"Is to reduce the 'food'!"
"That's also why players are initially divided into two teams."
"Bell and Ed actually represent two different factions!"
PS: 1. No more words, if I don't finish writing 8000 today, I'll live stream doing a handstand while having diarrhea and drink it all without leaving a drop.
2. No filler content.
3. Thanks to all the dads and moms for the gifts and reading.
4. Let's go!
