Chapter 1092 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 15)
As Miaomiao asked a question out of curiosity, a huge exclamation mark suddenly appeared on the screen and then disappeared.
What should have been a tense atmosphere has now turned into a strange sense of relief for most people, because they believe the other person might be human.
However, the game in Mirror World is not so kind.
The deep, slightly annoyed electronic voice soon rang out again, coldly confirming the group assignments.
The game has officially begun. Players have been divided into groups; currently, there are 78 players in 21 groups.
Miaomiao could see clearly that most of the players present wanted to increase their chances of survival, so they tried to form groups of four as much as possible, especially the stronger men, since more people meant more mutual support.
Of course, there are also a few teams like Miaomiao's, where people already have a good friendship and would rather form a team of three or two than have strangers join their team at the last minute. After all, besides themselves, anyone could drag them down with them.
No one can guarantee that the new teammates won't be the kind of people who are extremely selfish. It's one thing if they drag you down, but it's another if they stab you in the back in a critical moment. That would be terrifying.
The game didn't give players much time to adjust; the 21 teams were already standing in their own groups, which made the game operation much easier.
Twenty-one semi-transparent white halos suddenly appeared in the arena, each halos even corresponding to a team's number.
[Players present, please find the orb with your number within 30 seconds. Anyone who fails to enter within 30 seconds will be immediately eliminated!]
Everyone started moving because of these 21 orbs of light. Fortunately, each orb was marked with a number, so they weren't too hard to find.
Perhaps because Miaomiao had made fun of the game's NPCs earlier, by the time Miaomiao saw their own orb, there were only 15 seconds left on the countdown. That orb was the furthest away from them and was even listed separately from the other orbs, with the numbers 15, 16, and 17 written in lonely black letters.
Time is tight and the task is heavy, and this stupid game is really stingy.
Unbeknownst to Miaomiao, Xie Chenzhou had already noticed the distant orb of light and even calculated the speed at which the three of them would run towards it. He deliberately waited until Miaomiao noticed before pausing for two seconds, then followed the two of them and ran towards the orb of light.
As he ran, he naturally grabbed Miaomiao's hand, his speed just right, ensuring that he could arrive within the time limit while firmly supporting her, preventing her from falling at all.
With five seconds left on the countdown, the three of them finally entered the sphere of light without any major incident.
Miaomiao looked down at her hand, which was being held tightly by Xie Chenzhou. Although his palm was warm and dry, which made her feel at ease, in her heart, she was just as fast as her brother.
Didn't you see that even though her brother ran faster than a rabbit, he still couldn't keep up with her?
Neither of them could run as fast as Xie Chenzhou...
Miaomiao watched Xie Chenzhou standing to the side, seemingly exhausted and slightly out of breath, still looking tense. However, he seemed so nervous that he had even forgotten to grab her hand and run together.
Miaomiao wanted to gently pull her hand away, but found that Xie Chenzhou was holding it very tightly, as if he was afraid that if he let go, she would be left behind.
"Luckily we saw it in time, otherwise we would have been tricked by this damn game and almost died outside."
Fortunately, just as Tan Jiashu recovered and turned his attention to the two of them, Miaomiao's hand was released.
She glanced at Xie Chenzhou, only to see him looking back at her, a reassuring smile on his lips.
Should she give him a thumbs up?
Especially after Miaomiao discovered that some people were indeed pushed over and missed their turn to enter their own light sphere because the people behind them were rushing to escape, and others fell to the ground because they were running too fast, failing to enter their assigned light sphere or entering the wrong one...
In an instant, as the orb of light closed, those who were left out or had entered the wrong orb were transformed into a sticky cloud of blood mist right before everyone's eyes...
"Brother Chenzhou, thank you for pulling me out."
Miaomiao's gratitude became even more sincere after hearing this.
[Numbers 3, 19, and 54 failed to enter the designated location; they are to be eliminated!]
[Numbers 3, 19, and 54 failed to enter the designated location; they are to be eliminated!]
......
As if deliberately creating fear in people, the system alarm sounded three times in a row before it stopped. Some people cried, while others were numb. To survive here, one must first abandon any unfounded emotions and prioritize survival above all else.
[Ding, game started, teleportation initiated—]
Good luck to everyone!
Accompanied by a slightly malicious electronic voice, the light sphere carrying the group rotated in mid-air and instantly entered the designated location.
Miaomiao felt a strong wave of dizziness surge through her brain and instinctively closed her eyes tightly.
When she opened her eyes again, she found that the ball of light had disappeared, and the three of them had still entered the designated location in the game, appearing steadily at the entrance of the arena where only the three of them were present.
But apart from the scene in front of them, Miaomiao could tell that they were still on the outskirts. Apart from the road in front of them, everything around them seemed to be shrouded in mist, and they couldn't see anything, let alone determine their exact location.
They have no idea which part of the maze they are in, and can only grope in this vast maze to find the only way out.
To Miaomiao's surprise, the scenery here was somewhat different from what she had seen at the beginning. Compared to the scene of towering rocks she had seen when she first entered, the place she arrived at after being teleported, including the entrance and even the interior area, was not built of giant rocks.
Before them lay a path pruned by extremely tall holly trees, each three meters high, their branches and leaves so dense that they were impenetrable. It was impossible to pass through such holly trees at this moment, as even the gaps were dark.
However, the oppressive feeling brought about by these overgrown and tall green plants is in no way inferior to the scene of towering rocks.
Where's my dagger?
Tan Jiashu was the first to notice something was wrong. He subconsciously touched his waist and discovered that his dagger was missing.
However, he quickly remembered the rules of the game, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
"Brother, our new weapons are at the entrance."
Miaomiao took a few steps forward and saw the weapons lying on the ground near the holly bushes.
They contained a solid stick of indistinguishable material, an ordinary dagger, and a box of colorful marbles; a rough count revealed that there were over a hundred marbles.
From a weapon perspective, the marbles were clearly the most useless thing, but they were the first one to be chosen.
Xie Chenzhou bent down and picked up the pinball box first, gently stroking the not-so-smooth surface with his fingertips. Then he looked up and smiled calmly, his tone gentle, which was increasingly different from the person in the original owner's memories.
"I'm just holding the marbles. Please protect me from now on."
Tan Jiashu was almost moved to tears by Xie Chenzhou's actions. It was true that he and Xie Chenzhou had a life-or-death brotherhood, but his brother always took his life into his own hands.
Even if Xie Chenzhou didn't use that stick, he would at least have to carry a dagger for self-defense. But in the face of life and death, true character is revealed. Tan Jiashu is now only amazed that his brother is a true brother.
Based on what Shen Zhou did today, Tan Jiashu felt that his life would belong to Lao Xie from now on.
Originally, he was Miaomiao's older brother and Xie Chenzhou's brother...
Although Shen Zhou rejected his sister, the reason why he accompanied him to find her and treated her so gently and kindly since they arrived in this place was because of him.
To put it bluntly, if Shen Zhou really wanted to seize the weapons, he and his sister would be no match for him. Of course, that's impossible.
Tan Jiashu was almost incoherent, but for his sister's sake, he still shamefully picked up the stick.
"Old Xie, don't worry, I'll give you my life. As long as I live, no one can hurt you."
After he finished speaking, he handed the dagger to Miaomiao, who was standing to the side, but he didn't bring up her sister as well.
My sister's life is more important than anything else...
Xie Chenzhou hadn't expected his brother-in-law to be so dramatic, but what kind of "Old Xie" was he? He was only three years, four months, and twelve days older than Miaomiao!
Where is it old?
He's the old one!
