Chapter 1085 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 8)
The game lights flickered again because of Miaomiao's sarcastic words, but ultimately did nothing to Miaomiao and could only let her turn around and leave the game's light shield area.
Miaomiao quickly took the elevator to the first floor. After walking out of the building, she found that the outside was a normal street, and there were even streetlights on.
There were hardly any pedestrians under the streetlights. Occasionally, someone would come out of a building, but they were always in a hurry and their eyes were full of vigilance.
According to Bao Bao, this place is a microcosm of a city, but it has no human presence at all; only loneliness, desolation, and the shadow of death loom over it.
However, this mirror world is indeed quite inhumane.
All player settlements were located in the suburbs, while the game itself was set in a large area in the city center.
Starting from the player's residential area and heading to the city center, even someone with good legs would have to walk for more than ten hours, which would completely exhaust the player's strength along the way.
While waiting for the game to start, the odds of winning become even lower.
Therefore, the so-called security is still a paradox.
Smarter players will usually look for a place to rest in a nearby building after the first game.
Therefore, this broken mirror world has set permissions for players staying in the city.
Ordinary players cannot have the right to use these houses individually; they only have the right to reside in them. However, to actually live in them, players can only do so by unlocking the residences given to them by the game, which is similar to shrinking or expanding a space.
For example, you enter a large, empty house, but you are just a new player.
So when you want to stay here, the space here will become the narrow and dilapidated tent that the system provides in the player settlement area, with the space being drastically reduced.
However, if you are an advanced player, even if you randomly enter an empty small room, as long as your game room is large, the small room will also become larger. This is the spatial extension.
New players who want comfortable accommodations and temporary safety can, in addition to their own efforts, ask higher-level players for invitations to stay with them.
However, there are many more shady dealings involved, especially after entering this world where morality has collapsed. Some people, big or small, even after experiencing life and death, resort to open bullying.
Therefore, some people play games desperately, not only to survive, but also to live well, at least to avoid facing those terrible humiliations.
Players who have played the game three times and survived are absolutely safe in their residences, and can even ignore the constraints of the original spatial laws.
After all, players who have played the game three times are extremely rare among all players. The worst reward they can get is a townhouse, and it's a townhouse with an absolutely hard shell that bullets and other equipment can't penetrate.
Right now, despite her efforts, Miaomiao is only slightly better than the new players who just arrived. At least she has a wooden house with a door, a fairly soft bed, and enough food, but unfortunately, there is no bathroom.
However, as long as the location chosen to live is remote enough, even a weak woman can survive there.
Except for Miaomiao, she now felt that although she was wearing tattered clothes and her hair was frizzy like a dog had chewed on it, she was definitely a tough guy in terms of fighting strength, a female warrior who could kill a bull with one punch.
Miaomiao clenched her fist in excitement, but then felt a sharp, tingling pain in her hand.
Only then did she remember that besides being a tough, strong woman, she was also a little fairy who was afraid of pain. For example, the wounds on her hands from climbing the iron tower were still throbbing.
She didn't linger there for long; her immediate priority was to find her brother and Xie Chenzhou, the chosen one who had rejected her confession.
Instead of passively waiting for them to come to us, we might as well take the initiative.
Following the route provided by Baobao, she headed straight for an office building a few kilometers away, which was the game area for "Card Elimination".
The night wind whipped up the dust from the street, making her short, chewed hair fly wildly, but at least it didn't cover her eyes.
Someone on the roadside noticed her alone and wanted to approach her, but seeing her wearing loose, unisex clothes, messy hair, and a fierce aura around her, it was hard to tell whether she was male or female. She just seemed more like a short, tough guy.
I stopped before I could see everything.
Meanwhile, in an office building several kilometers away, the "Card Match" game was finally coming to an end.
The moment the transparent dome disappeared, a strong stench of blood filled the air. Of the dozens of players who had originally been in the arena, only less than ten remained by the end. Two-thirds of the transparent booths were covered in mottled bloodstains, and the chaotic scene testified to the cruelty of the game.
After the rewards were distributed, two figures walked out side by side from the ruins-like site; they were Tan Jiashu and Xie Chenzhou.
Apart from being a little pale, the two showed no signs of the dishevelment that had just gone through the hellish gambling game; they seemed to have just left an ordinary party.
Tan Jiashu held the Warrior Star he had just received in his hand, and worry for his sister reappeared in his eyes, but even with such worry in his heart, he still looked handsome.
But Xie Chenzhou, standing beside him, was completely unaffected by his handsome appearance. He stood there like a kingdom in himself, so handsome that he could instantly steal everyone's attention.
Xie Chenzhou was still wearing that simple white shirt and black pants, with only a little bit of barely noticeable bloodstains on the hem of his clothes, which made his skin look even paler.
With broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, he walks with an effortless gait.
At this moment, there was not much emotion in his handsome eyes. He simply lowered his gaze and casually rubbed two small marbles between his fingers. His well-defined fingers added a touch of ascetic danger to his appearance.
His calm and almost indifferent aura made him seem like a natural controller, remaining composed even in such a dangerous and chaotic place.
Miaomiao saw her brother from a distance and wanted to greet him, but for some reason she didn't want to disturb the terrible atmosphere here, so she took two quick steps to get closer to them.
Before Miaomiao could say anything more, Xie Chenzhou had already raised his eyes and locked his gaze precisely on Miaomiao as she ran over from a distance.
Even though the other person was in the dark, apart from their obvious figure, their face was mostly obscured by shadows. Even Tan Jiashu would be stunned for a long time before realizing that it was his sister, let alone Xie Chenzhou, who regarded Miaomiao as a stranger.
At this moment, Miaomiao was completely different from the elegant and graceful Miss Tan in my memory.
However, Xie Chenzhou didn't recognize who the other person was. He just inexplicably felt that the person in the distance, whose face he couldn't even see clearly, suddenly made his long-dormant mood lighten up, and he even had a faint urge to go up and hug the other person tightly.
This strange thought made him frown suddenly. Could it be some strange trap set by the world?
Or perhaps they haven't quite shaken off this game yet?
But the impulse in his heart was so strong that even someone as composed as him couldn't resist the urge to see "him" first and see what had attracted his attention.
He glanced at Tan Jiashu, who was still immersed in worry beside him, and suddenly felt that he was a bit of an eyesore.
Subconsciously, Xie Chenzhou chose to follow his heart and strode towards the direction of the person who had come.
However, the aura surrounding this person also changed from indifference to a subtle sense of urgency.
Nothing else mattered, but he was even more afraid that this person would run away from him...
