    Chapter 105

    Yu Tang was in no hurry to leave the cave.

    Feng Qing's body had not had time to adjust before being forced into the game.Taking advantage of this rain, he needed to rest as soon as possible to replenish the consumed mental energy to the maximum extent.

    Thunder roared outside the cave, and the rain became heavier and heavier. There was probably no chance of stopping that night.

    Yu Tang turned over in the sea of consciousness.

    After all, the game was still being broadcast live. Yu Tang didn't want to be too arrogant, so he grabbed a handful of particles, acted more or less, and clapped his hands out of thin air.

    The high-tech smart cloud-sensing mattress fell out of the sea of consciousness.

    "Does the host need to take a nap?" the system said, "I can help keep watch and wake the host if there is any movement..."

    Yu Tang shook his head: "There's no rush."

    The system was stunned for a moment: "What does the host want to do?"

    Yu Tang opened a milk-flavored lollipop.

    He turned on the broadcast function, projected the entire image on the virtual screen into the sea of consciousness, and looked at the current number of survivors and real-time messages.

    The total number of players entering this phase of the game is 239. After the first start, nearly half of the players have been reduced.

    There are already a lot of complaints in the message area.

    [What’s going on in this issue? It’s so difficult to start??]

    [Isn’t it difficult?The card comes out quickly and the price is low. I have taken several photos.]

    [You’re here to get stuck, of course.I came here to place a bet, and I bet three of them, all of which were accounted for in the umbrella-less airdrop just now.]

    [Me too, I bet on that A-level mind-reading skill. I originally thought I could make some... bad luck.]

    [The background setting of this issue is so unfair. It is thrown directly from the sky. Isn’t this obviously biased towards physical powers?]

    [I had a supernatural background before, and all my physical abilities were useless, just to increase the card rate, just get used to it.]

    The system couldn't stand it anymore and whispered: "Host..."

    Yu Tang asked: "Do you think it's strange?"

    The system was stunned for a moment: "What?"

    Yu Tang: "Logically speaking, these people are here to seek excitement and enjoy watching the same kind kill each other."

    Inferring the composition of the so-called "audience" based on the nature of the game will inevitably lead to some stereotypes, but in the end, they are indistinguishable.

    ——Logically speaking, the comment area should be much more intense and chaotic than it is now.

    At the beginning, people are thrown from the sky. Below are the cliffs and jungles in the dark night rain. Many people with psychological powers have no time to take any countermeasures.

    Once a player dies, the bets placed on the player will belong to the game's dealer.

    Psychological powers have always had an advantage in the market, and there are far more people betting than others. At the beginning of this game, many people will inevitably lose all their money.

    The game does not prohibit blocking any messages, but the number of complaints was far less than Yu Tang expected, and more people focused on the "cards".

    "I was careless." Yu Tang pressed his forehead, "I misjudged something."

    The system was instantly nervous: "What's going on?"

    Yu Tang: "The terminal is so shameless."

    system:"……"

    Yu Tang bit the lollipop twice, then brought up the specific settings of the ability and read it carefully from beginning to end.

    With the support of these companies, the current scale of successfully mutated experimental subjects is enough to summarize the complete levels and types.

    Superpowers are divided into two categories, physical superpowers and psychological superpowers.

    Physics powers are those that can cause changes on the physical level.

    Some people can absorb and control high-voltage current, some can rub fireballs with their bare hands, and some can turn water into ice.

    There are also some changes that occur in the superpowers themselves, such as stronger physical fitness and faster self-healing than ordinary people. Some superpowers can even deform part of their body to achieve the desired purpose.

    According to the information revealed in the message, a superhuman in Area F5 took out his spine and turned into a bone wing in order to survive.

    These abilities are indeed not weak, but as long as you are familiar with the characteristics of the abilities, you can always slowly sum up how to deal with them.

    What is more difficult to deal with is the psychic ability.

    On the odds ranking list, most of the most favored superpowers are psychological.

    Hypnosis, hallucination, and precognition abilities are all at the forefront. The A-level mind-reading power user who died unexpectedly before has successfully survived three episodes of the game and was the first in the previous standings.

    The system asked: "Host, according to this classification method, is Feng Qing also considered to have a physical ability?"

    Yu Tang nodded: "Yes."

    On Feng Qing's registration card, the evaluation result in the power column is a B-level power in the physics department.

    B-level abilities are neither high nor low. Compared with A-level and S-level abilities, they are not very conspicuous.It is also a physical power that can easily be countered by finding weaknesses. If it weren't for the fact that Feng Qing was the player selected by Zhong San's company, no one would even care.

    Viewers watching the live broadcast will choose areas of interest and powerful enough superpowers. The A9 area he is currently in has a ranking of only in the middle and lower reaches of the audience.

    Yu Tang flipped through the information: "What are the ratings of superpowers based on?"

    The system searched for keywords and was a little surprised: "It didn't say... we didn't get relevant information."

    Yu Tang nodded.

    If the plot does not provide relevant information, it means that from Feng Qing's perspective, he himself does not know what the so-called power levels are.

    He was just bought back by Zhong San and kept in the villa. He only knew that he could analyze the things in front of him into particles and then reassemble them like 3D modeling.

    Zhong San told Feng Qing that as long as Feng Qing agreed to participate in a game and survived the game, he would be given a high reward.

    ...This answer is not surprising.

    Yu Tang raised his right hand, and a stone was broken down into particles by him, and then reassembled into a sharp cone, suspended in his palm under the control of his mental power.

    Zhong San didn't let anyone train No. 13 to use superpowers. He was afraid of "No. 13" who only had B-level superpowers.

    The electronic shackles only accounted for a small part of the reason why No. 13 was locked in the villa by him.More importantly, it was because Feng Qing didn't want to run away, nor did he want to use his powers to hurt anyone.

    Feng Qing can analyze and recombine the particles of a chair to make a wooden figure on the window sill who can talk to him.

    If Feng Qing is willing, he can use any particles to form a sharp blade at any time and pierce Zhong San's throat.

    Yu Tang waved away the particles in his palm.

    He bit into the lollipop, chewed it into powdered sugar, swallowed it bit by bit, and turned off the light screen in the sea of consciousness.

    The system turns on surveillance cameras from eighteen directions and keeps a close eye on all movements outside the cave.

    Yu Tang wrapped his coat around himself, lay down on the mattress, and buried himself in the warm blanket.

    The heavy rain continued until the next morning.

    After Yu Tang had a good sleep, he had completely recovered his energy. He stood up, stretched his waist, put out the fire and left the cave.

    Even though it was already morning, the sun didn't give any face. The rain stopped temporarily, and the sky outside the cave was still full of clouds that were so gloomy that they seemed to be suppressed at any time.

    The morning breeze was slightly cool, but the air was quite fresh.

    There is a forest outside the cave. The layers of leaves are unusually green, and the flowing mist is also dyed with vague vitality.

    The system stayed on guard all night and found no one approaching. It flashed a small red light in the sea of consciousness: "Host, host, can't we always hide here?"

    Yu Tang asked: "What do you think of the plot?"

    The system was stunned for a moment: "Feng Qing survived this game... The specific plot is not with us."

    This book is a biographical novel. The protagonist is only Zhong San, and the perspective will change according to Zhong San's actions.

    Like the previous books, as supporting characters and tool people, the space they can occupy in the book is very limited, and every detail will not be written out.

    "I looked at the rules of the game." Yu Tang said, "The rules say that the player's survival range will continue to shrink."

    There are many games stored in the system's database. According to the traditional battle royale game model, it is nothing more than shrinking the "toxic circle".

    It stipulates a shrinking safety zone. As long as you are outside the safety zone, your life level will continue to decline, and you must enter the safety zone as soon as possible in a short period of time.

    This mode will continuously drive players to gather in smaller areas until they are unable to escape and have to engage in face-to-face firefights.

    If this was the only mode, they would just hide here until the safe zone appeared, and then ride the red motorcycle to get there as quickly as possible.

    The system is confused: "What's the problem?"

    Yu Tang: “It’s too simple.”

    The intention of the game is obvious, which is to continuously force the superpowers to evolve between life and death, and to select the strongest batch of superpowers to fill the high-level card pool.

    If this is the only mode of shrinking the poison circle, those with special powers who are good at stealth and teleportation can even survive to the end easily.

    The later the game reaches, the higher the difficulty becomes, and it is impossible to set such a simple background for them.

    "Senior Zhan taught me," Yu Tang said, "In a completely unfamiliar environment, the type of crisis cannot be determined, and keeping mobile is the most important thing."

    Yu Tang parked his motorcycle behind a cave to take shelter from the rain last night. He identified the direction, pushed aside the branches and walked over: "We can take a look at the surrounding environment first and find something to eat——"

    His words suddenly stopped midway.

    The system was stunned for a moment: "Host?"

    The system turned on the surveillance system and saw clearly what was happening outside. He was horrified: "What's going on?!"

    Yu Tang shook his head and walked over slowly.

    There were no supernatural beings nearby, and there were no NPCs lying in wait to attack them.

    The motorcycle was still parked behind the cave, very hidden, so hidden that it almost completely blended into the cliff.

    ——It just becomes one.

    The stone wall "ate" the motorcycle.

    The handles, seat, tires, fuel tank, every part still has its shape, but it has just turned into a hard and cold stone.

    Yu Tang stood in front of the motorcycle that turned into a stone statue, stopped for two seconds, turned around and ran back quickly into the cave.

    The system was startled: "Host? What happened -"

    Yu Tang rushed into the cave.

    The smart mattress he took out from the sea of consciousness is also turning into stone, and the inorganic gray color is still spreading visibly.

    Yu Tang rushed over quickly and stretched out his hand to grab it.

    "Host!" The system was startled and warned, "No! The host will turn into stone together..."

    Yu Tang's hand stopped.

    At the last second, the mattress and thin blanket turned to solid rock.

    The system was still frightened: "Host, what's going on? We -"

    "Our range of survival is shrinking."

    Yu Tang: "In the first round, as long as you are exposed to the same environment for a long time and continuously, you will be assimilated by this environment."

    Continuous contact with stone walls and caves will turn you into stone.

    If you continue to be in contact with the jungle, you will be assimilated into a part of the forest.

    Virtual screens emerge from the clouds.

    Nine more newly added superpowers were turned into cards, and the message area rarely exploded.

    [what happened?Is it a malfunction in the live broadcast room??]

    [Not a malfunction...]

    [People turned into stone?Is this okay?What kind of death is this??]

    [Come to the auction house. This A-level enhanced ability here has become part of the tree and has not yet completed its transformation.]

    [???]

    [Is this game so difficult?It’s getting more and more exciting!]

    [Can you give me a warning about the death screen in advance?I still have children at home, and I choose a skill card I like before starting school. Who is responsible for being frightened?!]

    On the virtual screen, the player's death scene was shown indifferently.

    Players hiding in caves or under stone cliffs, resting against the stone walls, have turned into inorganic gray stone sculptures in their sleep.

    In the woods, the A-level enhanced superpower user was just hiding in the canopy of the trees. When he noticed it, half of his body had turned into wood.

    The wooden lines climbed inch by inch along his body.

    The A-level body strengthening ability is enough to shatter the hardest alloy shield.The A-level superpower was desperate, gritted his teeth, and punched the strange birch tree that was devouring him.

    The tree trunk shattered, but his body also shattered with the tree, turning into a translucent skill card.

    Yu Tang walked through the woods.

    The rain that had just stopped in the morning was now pouring down again.

    He bought a new motorcycle, and the particles of rainwater were continuously analyzed and reorganized, turning into a thin transparent poncho, covering him and the motorcycle.

    Yu Tang asked the system in the sea of consciousness: "Has the background setting been distributed?"

    "Sent!" The system read for him, "This is a world that does not welcome outsiders."

    System: "Both the player and the player's items are 'heresy' to this world."

    This world will assimilate all heresies.

    “The maximum safe time for continuous contact with the same environmental items is one hour.

    System: "Once in contact for more than an hour, it will be assimilated into the environment."

    This "continuous contact" means "continuous" and "contact" in the literal sense.

    ——In other words, if a person remains motionless and stands with two feet on the same piece of soil for an hour, he will be assimilated by the ground.

    But if the person keeps walking forward and his feet step on different soil every time, he is safe.

    If a person lurks in a tree and stays for an hour, he will be assimilated into a part of the tree.

    But if you change to another tree immediately at fifty-nine minutes, there will be no problem.

    The communicator in Yu Tang's pocket buzzed again, and the new rules of the game were issued and sent to each player's communication terminal.

    Yu Tang guided the information into the sea of consciousness, focused on it, and read it quickly.

    The game provides 7 temporary safety points. As long as players reach these safety points, they will not be affected by this "assimilation".

    Every 13 hours, one of the existing safe points will randomly disappear.

    The system has calculated the shortest path and marked it on the map: "The closest one to us is in area B8. It takes about forty minutes to get there by motorcycle!"

    Yu Tang glanced at the map: "How long has it been raining?"

    The system was stunned for a moment.

    He didn't know why the host suddenly asked this, so he dragged back the progress bar and checked the monitor carefully: "The rain stopped around eight o'clock this morning, and it started raining again at nine seventeen. It's fifty-six minutes now."

    Yu Tang turned the car according to the map. He stepped on the accelerator and said to the system: "I have an idea..."

    He didn't finish his sentence.

    ...The next second, the rain around him suddenly turned into a huge water ball.

    The water ball closed, swallowing him and his car whole, and suspended him in mid-air.

    Two people came out from behind the tree.

    The system was startled: "Host!"

    "It doesn't matter." Yu Tang said, "Do you have any information about these two people?"

    The system managed to calm down: "...Yes, No. 2 and No. 6 are old players. They have always been partners."

    No. 2 is a B-level superpower whose characteristic is concealment. He can completely hide all the auras of himself and his companions, and cannot be detected by the most sophisticated detection instruments.

    No. 6 is an A-level superpower user, and his superpower is water control.

    In this kind of overwhelming torrential rain, being able to control the water is almost equivalent to opening the biggest plug-in.

    "Little brother." No. 2 is a tall and thin young man, most of his face is hidden in a hoodie, he pushes up his glasses, "Sorry to stop you, you should know what we want..."

    Yu Tang was trapped in a water prison and stepped into Feng Qing's role without leaving a trace: "You... want my motorcycle?"

    No. 2 nodded: "There is nothing we can do about it."

    The distance from here to the safe point is not very close. It is first come, first served. A fierce battle will definitely break out for the safe point.

    Not every person with powers can teleport or accelerate. If you have a transportation tool, you can seize the nearest safe point before others.If you go ahead and ambush them, you will be able to deal with more superpowers.

    Only by reducing the number of survivors to less than ten as soon as possible can the game end.

    Yu Tang asked: "I gave it to you, can you let me live?"

    No. 2 laughed: "Of course."

    Yu Tang let go of his hand.

    The water ball burst into a hole with a crash, and the motorcycle fell to the ground. No. 6 reached out to hold it.

    No. 6 held the handlebar and gave it a try, then nodded with No. 2.

    No. 2 came over, looked at it carefully, and frowned without any trace.

    ...They didn't kill anyone or steal the car. They temporarily spared No. 13's life because they thought the motorcycle was related to his superpower.I am worried that once No. 13 dies, the motorcycle will also disappear.

    But now it seems that this is the most ordinary motorcycle.

    No. 2 and No. 6 looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.

    "The car has been given to you." Yu Tang said, "You can let me go and take shelter from the rain first -"

    He was only halfway through his words when he was forcibly interrupted.

    No. 6 stopped looking at him and walked towards the motorcycle that No. 2 was holding on to, holding a weak hand with one hand.

    The out-of-control water instantly poured into Yu Tang's mouth and nose.

    The pressure of the water ball increased suddenly, as if the real pressure was condensing, and Yu Tang's body began to deform under the huge water pressure.

    "Let's go quickly." No. 6 said, "Don't waste time."

    No. 2 nodded. He was about to get on the motorcycle, but suddenly he was stunned.

    …He didn’t find his legs.

    Half of his body has become transparent, and with a slight movement, the whole person scatters with a crash.

    No. 6's pupils shrank instantly.

    He rushed over, but only caught the cold rainwater.

    Behind him, the water ball also dissipated instantly.

    No. 6 suddenly realized something and turned around suddenly.

    Yu Tang fell to the ground, and the rainwater was continuously dissociated and reorganized around him, turning into a thin film that isolated water vapor.

    "What's going on?!" No. 6 asked sharply, "Your power is not a summoning item...what exactly is it? What did you do to him!"

    "I didn't do anything." Yu Tang said, "You'd better take shelter from the rain."

    No. 6 looked pale and raised his hand to control the rain to attack Yu Tang.

    He never had to take shelter from the rain.

    He is too familiar with the rain. The water is like his own body. He can control it at will, change into any shape, and take the life of anyone——

    No. 6's eyes widened in horror.

    His body also turned into the most familiar rain, falling to the ground silently.

    Once it continues to be in contact with the same environmental items for more than an hour, it will be assimilated by the environment.

    The system breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help but be surprised: "Why does rain count?"

    Since a person keeps walking, it can be judged that he is not in contact with the same piece of soil. As long as he continues to move, he should be in contact with rain in different areas.

    But those people were assimilated and turned into water on the ground.

    The system said: "We have been moving, and what we are in contact with is obviously not the same drop of rain..."

    Yu Tang: "It's the same cloud."

    The system was stunned.

    Yu Tang looked at the thick and gloomy clouds above his head.

    When they entered this world, they passed through a cumulonimbus cloud from top to bottom.

    All the rain now comes from this cumulonimbus cloud.

    Yu Tang walked over and helped up the motorcycle that fell in the rain.

    ...This is also something Zhan Chen taught him.

    When he first learned that humans would die, he was very worried about Zhan Chen and wanted to know how many hundreds of years Zhan Chen could live.

    Zhan Chen was enduring the punishment of the implanted program and leaned over the desk with a smile.

    Zhan Chen stretched out his hand, touched the small ball of light that was trying to type Morse code, and asked him if he had seen Yun.

    Zhan Chen patiently told him that after the clouds die, they will turn into rain, and the rain will turn into water vapor, and then turn back into clouds again.

    Zhan Chen said that he would be like this cloud.He may die, but no matter how many times, he will find a way to come back and give his favorite little blanket to Xiaoguangtuan's classmates.

    "I have an idea."

    Yu Tang: "Can you give me a try? Send a message to the person in charge of the mall."

    Yu Tang: "I lost my little blanket... If possible, I would like to buy another one that the person in charge of the mall will deliver personally."

    The system was stunned for a moment.

    ...It suddenly remembered that Yu Tang rushed back into the cave, desperately trying to grab something from the petrified mattress.

    That small blanket was in the book where Yu Tang was an assistant. When he chose to call the police in the face of threats from Ke Ming and his manager, the police officer who came to call the police helped him sit down and carefully put it on him.

    When the system reviewed the surveillance, it was found that for some reason, the police officer's face was blurry.

    You can't see who he is in the surveillance video, but you can only see that he moved gently and carefully, covering Yu Tang's body with a blanket, and then squatting down to help tidy up bit by bit.

    That blanket is warm.

    The system whispered: "Host..."

    "If possible, please come quickly." Yu Tang said, "I will make the bed in advance."
