…The moment we entered the tenth day, everyone went crazy.`
Although No. 46 keeps saying that as long as the number plate is destroyed, everyone can rest easy - but in fact, as time goes by, the invisible anxiety in the air becomes thicker and heavier, as if it is real.
The earth is weighing on everyone's heart.
They have no way out.
Almost every few minutes, someone would ask Harry about his absorption ranking; even if the answer was the same every time, this short-term comfort could only make them relax for a short while.
Although on the surface it seemed that their victory was guaranteed, before seeing the first group of dead bodies in sportswear with their own eyes, there was still a slight possibility that everyone would be buried in this greenhouse.
Driven by the uneasiness brought about by this possibility, starting from the ninth day, everyone spontaneously entered the greenhouse one after another, while continuing to search for figures in sportswear, while thoroughly implementing No. 46’s cleanup plan—
- Even No. 45 and No. 47 also participated, but only Lin Sanjiu and No. 46 were lying on the leaves to rest all day long. No matter how others complained, the two of them had no intention of helping.
After all, the plants in the greenhouse could not withstand the locust-like felling, and were quickly emptied. As far as the eye could see, only bare flower pots and culture tanks were left. The broad-leaf plant that everyone gathered together became
Finally, the only remaining tree with fruit was found, growing densely in a corner of the greenhouse.
...But, no one has found the woman in sportswear yet.
When the exhausted people returned to the leaves, everyone's faces looked as ugly as if they had seen a ghost; No. 46 then spoke slowly: "...You haven't thought about it, maybe she
What about having special items or abilities that can hide her whereabouts? She was confident that you would not be able to find her, so she simply stopped showing up after she lost her number plate."
From his tone, it was difficult to judge whether he was trying to cheer everyone up or just making sarcastic remarks; it was just that the matter had reached this point, and there was nothing he could do if he could no longer feel at ease - amid a crowd of complaints, threats, curses, and prayers.
At the sound of the sound, everyone sat down with dejected expressions, quietly waiting for the seven o'clock hour for the showdown of life and death.
The high-intensity physical work of the past few days was bearable for the evolved people; but the shadow of death that pressed on their hearts all the time was the most overwhelming thing. As soon as it became quiet, after a while, someone would slip in.
They fell into a light sleep; the others who were still awake also closed their eyes to rest their minds.
Lin Sanjiu looked up and around, quietly stood up and walked towards the leaves on the other side.
"What are you doing?" The primary school teacher with a ponytail opened his eyes immediately.
Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her voice, leaned closer and said, "...I smell too much. I want to wash it off with water. It's not convenient here."
The primary school teacher said "Oh", turned his eyes and nodded towards her. Lin Sanjiu immediately quickened his pace and jumped off the leaf.
The bald man and the tall thin man who were talking in a low voice not far away glanced at her back and said nothing - because the leaf she jumped off was exactly in the opposite direction to the place where the purple flowers were.
After a while, the sound of "dong dong dong" water came from underneath the plant.
After this little episode ended, the leaves fell into silence again. Even the bald man stopped talking.
It's hard to tell whether it's because of anxiety or exhaustion - maybe both; everyone's faces were numb, and they sat under a dim white light with their eyes closed, and it took a long time before anyone moved.'
When the dead silence that lasted for an unknown length of time was suddenly broken by Harry's thunderous voice, everyone was startled - their faces were pale due to excessive tension, and they listened with a bit of sluggishness.
Harry announced: "...it is now six fifty-nine on the tenth day of the growth period. At the end of the next minute, the winner and loser will be determined."
"Start the countdown now, fifty seconds."
While everyone was still digesting every word of Harry's words, a round shadow suddenly passed over their heads. Leaves fell in the distance; but before anyone could see clearly what it was, from the other side
Another shadow suddenly sprang up, like a hunting panther, rushing towards the bald head with great momentum.
The bald man was shocked by the sudden attack. He rolled around on the ground in a panic, barely avoiding the figure in the sky. When he looked up, he realized that the person was Lin Sanjiu——
Lin Sanjiu's castration did not change, and she fell heavily behind him. With a glance of hair all over her bald head, she immediately understood who her target was, and immediately shouted: "What the hell are you doing!"
However, no one responded to him for a while. Even though the speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to react, Lin Sanjiu still jumped into the air - with the extremely short block of the bald head, Xiao Cheng was far away with one kick.
He jumped back and stepped on the edge of the blade; it was only at this moment that everyone could clearly see the two women facing each other——
...and a number plate swayed out from Xiao Cheng's neck due to the inertia of force.
"Forty-five seconds." Harry announced unhappily.
"What, what's going on?" The bald head stared at Xiao Cheng, his muttering voice was too shocked and was drowned in the exclamations of the others.
The skinny little girl didn't even have an expression on her face, and didn't even look at him - so at this time, Lin Sanjiu and a few others who reacted quickly had already rushed up again - although most of them
Abilities and props have been disabled due to the "prohibition of use of force" regulations, but binding and capturing things can still be used; at this time, a fishing net that belongs to an unknown person is even raised in mid-air.
It's just that all these methods have failed.
No, it can't be said that it was a failure, because several hands had clearly landed on the position of Xiao Cheng's body - but the next second, her body suddenly fell apart and was broken into countless pieces.
It flew straight out in all directions.
"Forty seconds."
Several people who missed the target almost lost their balance due to the inertia; just when they took a breath and stood still, two legs wrapped in jeans were suddenly swept flat from both sides, and they were immediately lifted from the leaves.
The edge was swept away - but Lin Sanjiu seemed to be prepared and avoided it with a slight jump.
As soon as her heels landed on the ground, she immediately rushed towards the head in the air with the neck and collarbone; Xiao Cheng's head turned on the leaves and hurriedly dodged, and the number plate followed her movements.
She raised her voice in the air - but her tone was so relaxed that she seemed to think it was all fun: "Hey, let me tell you, how could you have been wary of me so early?"
Lin Sanjiu had a cold face and said nothing. With a flick of his hand, an extra line appeared.
"It's a bit difficult to catch me with that," Xiao Cheng laughed as Harry announced for thirty-five seconds, "Besides, have you all forgotten something?"
Everyone whose attention was attracted by her was stunned - "Don't take a good look at the purple flowers. Aren't you afraid that they will be taken away by the woman in the first group?"
Everyone was startled and turned around hastily. Sure enough, they found that the leaf with more than ten purple flowers in full bloom was empty.
"Thirty seconds."
"Look at what you look like!" Xiao Cheng laughed loudly, with a petite slap face, with veins floating in the extremely happy mood: "I really want to give you a mirror so that you can see this despair.
…”
"Twenty-five seconds."
"Who despairs?"
Harry's and No. 46's voices sounded almost at the same time, interrupting Xiao Cheng's unfinished words.
"If you are looking for flowers, I happen to have quite a few here." No. 46 said. He turned around slightly and pointed to the large bouquet of purple flowers behind him - because the flowers were too big, he was alone.
If no one can carry it, No. 47 next to him will also carry half of it.
The half of the body with the number plate in the air condensed, and the voice suddenly rose sharply: "Qingqing! Qingqing!"
"Are you calling the woman in the first group?" No. 46 asked calmly, "She wanted to steal flowers, which is not good."
"Twenty seconds."
As No. 46 turned around and clapped his hands, a person suddenly jumped up from the leaves behind him and landed next to him with a "dong" - No. 45 had a gaping mouth, and there were more people in a row than ordinary people.
Between the denser teeth, he was holding a human head tightly.
As soon as their eyes fell on that person's head, several people in the fourth group immediately gasped; under the messy and frizzy hair, the woman in sportswear bit her lips and stared at No. 45 with wide eyes——
At the fracture under her head, a body as big as a finger with all four limbs was hanging. It seemed to have just grown out of the fracture not long ago, glowing with the red color of new flesh.
"Fifteen seconds."
"Speaking of which, the abilities of you and your friend are quite interesting." No. 46 smiled leisurely, "We had long thought that her ability was to cut off the tail of a gecko, but we didn't think of it until the end.
She probably cut off her head and threw the body under the greenhouse; if there is only one head, the backpack behind you can hold it. No wonder we can't find her - the strangest thing is that as soon as someone touches her,
Her limbs have stopped growing."
"Ten seconds."
"When you threw your companion's head at the purple flower, of course you couldn't put a number tag on her; now she has been caught, and she will die with us in ten seconds." No. 46 said.
When he got up, his tone was as relaxed as if it had nothing to do with him: "...How about it? If you take off your number plate now, both you and her can survive."
After being broken down into many pieces, every piece of Xiao Cheng's body seemed to be weightless. The movements of spinning, accelerating, and jumping in the air were so light and dexterous that it was impossible to catch them; however, she was almost all over the place by herself.
The limbs that reached the sky pushed three or four people in a row off the leaves, leaving them hanging on the edge of the flower pot and struggling - including the bald ones.
"...Well, there is one question I didn't understand before I picked it." Xiao Cheng's chest with the number plate on it suddenly rushed upwards, and she avoided another person coming towards her; after Harry announced "seven seconds",
Then she asked leisurely: "How did you know it was me?"
"Because the arms are different."
"The arms are different?"
"Yes - the first time the arm that fell off from Miss Qingqing was like a real gecko's tail, it became a limb without life or movement; however, the second time she came to attack us,
The arm that fell off was able to move on its own, and even snatched the number plate——" No. 46 paused for a moment when Harry announced "four seconds," and then said: "Obviously, the arm that fell off twice didn't exist at all.
Ability that belongs to the same person. At that time, you were the only one who didn't react. You were sitting far away on the other side... It wasn't that you didn't react. You couldn't move because your right arm had been decomposed and lent to this person.
Qingqing."
"A woman who even plans to abandon her body later. Breaking off an arm first is of course nothing. But you didn't expect that No. 49 has discovered something wrong... Oh, by the way. Speaking of No. 49,
Haven't you noticed that you haven't seen her for a while?" No. 46 smiled as Harry counted for a few seconds, "That's because her initial attack was to create opportunities for me; and I talked so much nonsense also to
Divert your attention for her."
"One second."
Harry's voice had just fallen. Xiao Cheng's expression suddenly changed - Lin Sanjiu's figure suddenly rolled down from a clump of branches and leaves, seeming to be fighting something desperately struggling in her arms; when she
As soon as she landed on the ground with that thing in her arms, everyone saw clearly that what was in her arms was a woman's right hand.
"Catch the flowers!" No. 46 shouted hurriedly and threw a large bouquet of flowers towards Lin Sanjiu; as soon as the purple flower was next to Lin Sanjiu, Xiao Cheng, whose right hand was touched by her, would immediately
Death - However, at this moment, Harry's voice rang: "The time is up. The second group currently ranks first in per capita absorption, and all other groups are tied for last."
"Hahaha!" Xiaocheng laughed loudly, and tears flowed down uncontrollably: "I, I like this copy so much! Thank you for putting on such a wonderful scene before you die... Oh, I have goosebumps.
Everyone got up... When I discovered the trap set by No. 49, I killed the man in red. Originally, I thought there would be no more exciting twist than that - oh, I really didn't expect it.
ah!"
Almost everyone seemed to be frozen at this moment, their whole bodies were cold and trembling, and they couldn't even move a finger.
The purple flower passed by Lin Sanjiu and landed at her feet. No. 46 nodded to No. 47, who immediately walked quickly to Lin Sanjiu and pulled out the purple flower from behind. He raised his hand.
Beside her - still a few centimeters away, the purple flower was about to touch Lin Sanjiu.
"What else are you doing? The growth period is over, and I won't die if I touch my right hand - on the contrary, those of you who stay will definitely die. Don't think you still have a chance to participate in the next round
"Wheel." Xiao Cheng laughed so hard that she couldn't help herself. Her limbs flew back to her torso one after another, and she quickly spliced a human shape together again; only her right hand, which was firmly held down by Lin Sanjiu, had not returned yet, but she seemed to
She didn't even bother to resist - after all, the person holding her hand was about to die.
However, Harry's next words immediately stunned her.
"...So you understand, right?"
"What, what? What do you know?" Xiao Cheng turned his gaze blankly, and then saw the faces of Lin Sanjiu and No. 46. Although there were no smiles, they definitely did not look like those of people who were about to die.
"I understand, thank you for the drill, Harry." Lin Sanjiu held her right hand firmly, raised her head and shouted into the air. In a blink of an eye, she looked at Xiao Cheng's green and white face, and said with a smile: "
...You don't think I really went to take a shower just now? With the sound of water, I asked Harry to say what he was going to say at seven o'clock ten minutes in advance - it was too early, and I was afraid.
You sensed something was wrong. To be honest, if he didn't agree, I would have used strong tactics; but fortunately, you were successfully deceived."
Xiao Cheng stared at her blankly, her bright red mouth open, but no sound came out.
"In other words, there are still nine minutes until seven o'clock." No. 46 laughed mockingly. "To be honest, I am not a good person. I just want you to die after knowing that you have been deceived.
"
"Wait, wait a minute!" Suddenly a man and a woman shouted at the same time - everyone turned their heads and saw that the bald man had climbed up at some point and staggered to the center of the leaves; while the other one was shrill and shrill.
The female voice came from the head between the teeth of No. 45. After the bald head rushed forward, the man named Qingqing trembled and closed his mouth.
"Don't kill her, don't kill her!" The bald man rushed to Lin Sanjiu, as if he hadn't recovered from the blow. He pointed at Xiao Cheng with one hand and said, "As long as I take her number plate.
Just come down, right? In this way, everyone’s absorption amount will be O, and they will be eliminated in a tie, and no one will suffer losses..."
"Are you still protecting her now?" No. 46 frowned. "Although you are in the second group, you can't die if she wins; but she didn't think of you when she did these things - because only the first group is left.
Harry arranged to be the first one to enter the greenhouse after getting off one person; there are eight people in your group, but you were the second one to enter the greenhouse, have you never thought about why?"
The bald man turned his head blankly, as if he didn't understand.
"Because the seven of you will be pushed into the fire pit by someone in the group at any time, just depending on whether she needs it - for example, the man in red." No. 46 said coolly.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" The bald head seemed to be aggrieved. He walked up to Xiao Cheng, pulled off her number plate, and shouted to everyone: "But I know that if she doesn't have any last resort,
She doesn't know how to kill - in short, I have taken down the sign. For the sake of helping your fifth group a lot, don't kill her! If you still don't trust me, I will tie her up! Okay?
"
The bald man has indeed always been on his side - No. 46 turned around and glanced at Lin Sanjiu, seeming to have lost all interest: "...I don't care anymore, you can figure it out."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at Xiao Cheng behind him.
The girl bit her lips tightly, and she couldn't tell whether she was suppressing fear, nervousness, or laughter.
"My ability cannot turn a living person into a card." After thinking for a long time, she finally let out a long sigh. "...So, I don't know if I can turn her right hand into a card. If I can, I will let her live.
"If it doesn't work, then no matter how much you ask, I'm still sorry."
The bald man's lips trembled and he nodded with a pale face.
Lin Sanjiu put her hand on the right hand that had been suppressed by herself and turned bloodless. As soon as she moved, her right hand disappeared. (To be continued.)
ps: I was very happy to write this chapter. When I found that I had almost filled in the holes, it had already reached this word count. Speaking of people, you really can’t be lazy. I forgot when I saw someone in the book review area guessing that the traitor was Xiao Cheng. At that time
I was shocked; I quickly clicked in and saw that the reason was actually because she was the only one with a name... I thought about it, it seemed like it was too late to give others names, so I should give it up.
By the way, I knew that Lan Ranzi was lying to me last time, and this Heshibi was so quiet that he was shocked by this atmosphere... Why are you so generous to me? The hotel said that there is no room,
What to do.
