The wind is cold.

Going east through the dense forest, Lu Guanchao didn't stop for a moment.

The system sound came from the ear, gentle and gentle, but also cold and ruthless.

"Huaxia Region challenger 'Zhong Jingyi' has died."

The deeper you go, the more serious the pollution caused by resentment is, and it weighs heavily on your heart.

Shenchen was tightly held in his hand, and the white light ball in it was like a stream of water, quietly flowing out from the oval jade, and penetrated into Lu Guanchao's blood and skin.

Pollution is increasing.

He heard the clicking sound of bones twisting and deforming.

Thick white bones with flesh and blood grew out from the depth of his wound bit by bit, as if they had really become flourishing branches and leaves, growing wantonly on the top of the bones, sprouting tender green shoots.

The pain was mixed with itching, and Lu Guanchao was in a state of confusion.

Everything that happened today was far beyond his cognition. It was the first time in his life that Lu Guanchao was so irritable.

He should have thought of it earlier.

The main system is the head of Bai Ye, and the so-called "survival challenge" constructed by it must be the most malicious killing.

Taking a look at the divine dust in his hand, Lu Guanchao had the urge to crush it.

In all fairness, he never thought that Zhong Jingyi would say that kind of thing to him——

Unlike her, Lu Guanchao felt nothing but despair when he learned that he was polluted and had only ten minutes to live.

There is nothing wrong with such emotions, after all, in almost all dangerous situations, the first consideration for human beings is their own safety.

He thought it was over.

Until Zhong Jingyi looked into his eyes and spoke suddenly with a very light tone.

...what "don't want to lose", what "let others live with their share".

Lu Guanchao couldn't understand her thinking logic at all.

But at that moment, he subconsciously admired her.

Admire a thin woman.

Living under his father's strict discipline since he was a child, Lu Guanchao entered the police force as he wished.

He clearly understands the inherent physical gap between men and women, and also knows that in the white night, men with strong martial arts and strong bodies can have a greater advantage.

As for the women, Lu Guanchao felt that they only needed to stay in the greenhouse and do some clerical work.

He had always thought this way until he witnessed Bai Shuang's flowing reverse hunting and Zhong Jingyi's last decisive gaze.

Compared with them, it seems that he is just a reckless man played around by Bai Ye.

Although don't want to admit it, it's a fact.

Chaotic thoughts ran amok in his mind, Lu Guanchao closed his eyes.

Of course he was selfish, and a large part of the reason why he ran forward with all his strength was due to a certain thought——

Perhaps the end point is not far away, and within ten minutes, he can reach it smoothly, thus leaving this white night alive.

Now...how much time has passed?Seven minutes, or eight minutes?

Lu Guanchao was in a trance, unable to think.

The pollution in the forest is eroding his consciousness step by step. At this moment, his brain has become an old clock with rusty gears, no matter how difficult it is to operate.

There is only a jungle of human bones in the front, back, left, and right, and Lu Guanchao does not see the shadow of the exit.

In fact, he also understood that it was impossible for Bai Ye to let him pass the level so smoothly.

Since he couldn't survive, all he could do was...

Taking a deep breath for the umpteenth time, Lu Guanchao's fingertips trembled.

Since Shen Chen was handed over to him by Zhong Jingyi, the system restarted the counting.

Counting the time, five minutes had passed, and his detailed location appeared on the task panel of other people.

They will come and take the dust from him.

Thinking of this, Lu Guanchao laughed at himself, and gently twitched the corners of his mouth.

When he first heard Zhong Jingyi's choice, apart from being shocked, he was also slightly puzzled.

How can someone give up their life without hesitation, just to pass on the chance of living to others?They are desperately working hard, are they going to pave the way for others?

The moment these thoughts surfaced, Lu Guanchao understood that he had lost.

Cleared many white nights, and led the team to survive time and time again. In life, Lu Guanchao is an excellent police officer trusted by everyone. In the white nights, he is the strongest leader that cannot be discussed.

He has always believed that in any dimension, he is far beyond other people.

But the fact is that he is not as good as Zhong Jingyi in terms of belief, determination and structure.

Against her backdrop, he, who only cared about surviving between the cracks and fearing death, was like an inconspicuous joke.

……what.

The brain felt suffocating like lack of oxygen, and a thick branch protruded from his back. Lu Guanchao was in a trance for a while, staggered slightly, and almost fell.

He is not a timid waste.

He also didn't want to lose to the evil god.

The aloof god regards them as toys at will, if anyone breaks its expectations and survives in this fatal killing...

His expression might be wonderful.

The scene in front of him gradually blurred, Lu Guanchao gasped in a low voice, and held onto a tree trunk.

The end of the dense forest is far away, and he is destined not to reach it.

Realizing that his life was not long, Lu Guanchao's mood actually calmed down, and he stood quietly on the spot, alert to the movement around him.

windy.

The cold wind blows over the branches and leaves, as if someone is approaching——

With a sudden movement in his heart, Lu Guanchao suddenly turned his head, and saw a figure flashing by, and was punched right in the cheek!

He was already in a trance, but was swung by this sudden force and fell heavily to the ground.

The god dust in his hand fell down, but in an instant, another person picked it up.

"The broadcast is now open for all members, please be informed."

The system announcement sounds at the right time.

"The challenger 'He Yu' has successfully snatched Shenchen. To ensure fairness, the real-time location will be temporarily blocked within five minutes."

"Five minutes later, the location of 'He Yu' will be shared."

It's He Yu.

Wearing a suit was too restrictive, He Yu threw away his coat at some point, and only wore a white shirt.

Looking at each other, Lu Guanchao saw the murderous look and confusion in He Yu's eyes.

——Holding Shenchen in his hand, the young man looked at the branch-like bones on his arm, and frowned imperceptibly.

He Yu felt very strange.

Lu Guanchao's state was obviously polluted by the forest, but they entered the highly polluted area at the same time, and Lu Guanchao had become like this, but he was no different.

What's even weirder is that seeing him, Lu Guanchao didn't show the slightest fear or anger, but relieved, his Adam's apple moved slightly.

"……Met."

The other party said something that didn't make sense.

He Yu was puzzled: "What?"

Before Lu Guanchao could explain, there was a soft rustling in the woods beside him.

He Yu reacted very quickly, followed the prestige to look, and met a pair of clear eyes.

It's Shen Chan.

And Chen Tao who followed behind her.

Stretching her head out from the verdant forest, Shen Chan was taken aback when she saw the scene in front of her clearly.

She really didn't expect that after finally finding Lu Guanchao, she would bump into him lying on the ground half dead, at the critical moment.

In less than a minute, four people gathered here.

"what."

Chen Tao took a step forward and stood beside her: "Lu Guanchao's body..."

——On the way to find Lu Guanchao, Shen Chan met him by chance.

Chen Tao has a similar personality to her, and he doesn't intend to kill each other with other people until he has no other way out.

So the two quickly formed an alliance and came to this place according to the instructions.

Shen Chan also saw Lu Guanchao's strange body, and said in astonishment, "Is this... the pollution in the forest?"

Lu Guanchao stared at her for a moment, then smiled hoarsely: "It's Shenchen."

What does this have to do with Shenchen?

Shen Chan blinked blankly.

Perhaps sensing the agitation in Shenchen, He Yu did not directly put him to death, but took a step back and kept a safe distance from the other three: "What do you mean?"

He holds the god dust and must be careful in everything.

"See the bones in my body?"

Lu Guanchao smiled: "Shen Chen catalyzed them."

Chen Tao was stunned: "God dust?!"

He Yu's eyes gradually darkened.

"Shen Dust is a trap set by the system. With it, you will be assimilated by pollution within ten minutes."

Lu Guanchao took a deep breath: "Ghosts will also come upon hearing the news, and in order to capture it, they will continue to hunt and kill."

He paused for a moment, then weakly raised his right arm: "I have become like this, which is the best proof."

He Yu looked at him coldly.

They are currently hostile, and Lu Guanchao's words are only 10% credible.

The highly polluted area has a vast area and many ghosts. The mutation on the arm may be caused by other reasons.

The reason why Lu Guanchao made up this lie was just to lower the defenses of other people, so that they would not dare to touch Shenchen.

"Ten minutes...Assimilation?"

Chen Tao was stubborn and didn't have too many twists and turns in his mind. After listening carefully, he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes: "You mean, become like those trees in the forest?!"

Shen Chan also frowned: "Assimilated by pollution, chased and killed by ghosts... With so many restrictions, how can we pass the level?"

Lu Guanchao reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth and nodded.

He didn't speak, and looked at He Yu with a calm expression.

He Yu frowned: "What evidence is there?"

"It won't be long before the system will send you a separate reminder."

Lu Guanchao sat up from the ground: "Did you see the white light clusters on Shenchen? Those are the sources of pollution. Unsurprisingly, your body has already begun to absorb pollution."

With a sullen face, He Yu spread out his palms.

Not far away, Shen Chan and Chen Tao also saw this legendary important prop for the first time.

This is an oval object, like a jade stone with mixed colors, the background color is as red as blood, and the surrounding is surrounded by white light like milk.

The white light drifted erratically, and it actually entered He Yu's palm.

He Yu's expression was not very good-looking.

Lu Guanchao let out a foul breath: "You guys came from other places, do you know how long the end is?"

Chen Tao shook his head: "I didn't see the barrier. The area of this forest is beyond imagination, and I don't know how long it will take to reach the end."

He said for a while: "Some time in the middle, the broadcast said that Shenchen was in Zhong Jingyi's hands... Is she still alive?"

Shen Chan also concentrated and looked at Lu Guanchao.

According to the system broadcast, they reasonably speculated that a battle broke out between Lu Guanchao and Zhong Jingyi.

In the end, Shenchen returned to Lu Guanchao's hands, which probably means...he won.

Zhong Jingyi was either seriously injured or killed by him.

However, unexpectedly, the man just hesitated for a moment, showing an expression he had never seen before.

Branches and leaves continued to grow from his bones and flesh, Lu Guanchao tried his best to turn his sluggish thoughts and moved his lips.

"...can't lose to Bai Ye."

Without thinking, he suddenly said: "The evil god wants to see us kill each other, and thinks it is impossible for anyone to survive... We want to win."

He said: "No matter who it is, as long as it survives this deadlock, it will win him."

Lu Guanchao was already a little unclear about the word order.

But at the end, the man suddenly settled his expression, and a moment of clarity flashed in his eyes: "Zhong Jingyi, that's what you said."

He Yu frowned.

"In order to stop the ghost, she trapped it with [black silk] and let me escape."

Lu Guanchao said: "...she saved me and also protected Shenchen."

"Both of you have obtained the god dust. According to you, both of you will be alienated after ten minutes."

He Yu said: "She sacrificed herself in exchange for your escape, in order to—"

He lowered his eyes.

The god dust in his hand shone brightly, most of the white color faded, revealing more and more intense red.

Lu Guanchao: "In order to bring out Shen Chen."

"She wanted one of the others to live," he said.

Chen Tao opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

Shen Chan's throat was astringent: "She—"

A single word came out, and she felt a fishy wind.

The breath of ghosts is completely different from that of humans, especially the evil spirits in this forest.

The cool wind is wrapped in a faint stench, like a light and fluttering feather, scratching at the heart, making people feel hairy.

Lu Guanchao had already experienced it, and said in a low voice, "Be careful. The god dust will attract ghosts who covet it."

As they gradually went deeper into the forest, the pollution intensified and the number of ghosts increased. Those who possessed the god dust could be said to be surrounded by wolves and escaped death.

Shen Chan's nerves were tense, she turned her head subconsciously, and looked at He Yu who was holding Shenchen.

At that time, attacking Lu Guanchao and snatching Shenchen should have been a clean and perfect operation, but he never expected that he would pick up a hot potato.

Just now, He Yu heard the exclusive system broadcast, Lu Guanchao didn't lie to him, Shenchen can indeed cause pollution.

However, since most of the grievances were absorbed by the two people in front of him, the time for him to be assimilated was extended to fifteen minutes.

...that's short too.

The eyebrows were beating non-stop, and He Yu was upset, looking at the place where the fishy wind came from.

Listen to the sound, there are more than one ghost coming.

"That," Chen Tao swallowed honestly, "Zhong Jingyi is not here, there is no silk thread, my skills can at most kill one monster... Do you have extra attack skills?"

He Yu said in a deep voice, "My attack is effective against ghosts."

Shen Chan thought for a while, then shook her head: "My skills are more suitable for assisting."

An unspeakable irritability rose in his heart, his thumb brushed over the smooth edge of Shenchen, and He Yu lowered his eyelashes slightly.

As long as they hold the god dust, they will have to encounter the oncoming ghosts.

If you are greedy for temporary safety, throw Shenchen away at will...

When it is taken away by the ghosts, they may never find this clearance item again.

His skills are still effective, but it is a pity that he can only use them once per white night, and the conditions for using them are very strict.

If it is used up this time, it will be difficult to deal with encirclement and suppression later on.

What's more, he only has fifteen minutes to live, so he must hurry up——

Damn, why is it his turn?!

In the brief silence, there was rustling and the sound of weeds being rubbed beside him.

Immediately afterwards, there was a man's hoarse guttural voice: "Let me go."

Lu Guanchao's expression was very calm, and he stood up in embarrassment while supporting the tree trunk behind him.

The ten-minute pollution period has passed, and now he looks far from human.

The flesh was stretched by six or seven branches one after another, distorted lines like annual rings appeared on the face, one eye lost its vitality, and the pupils turned pure snow white.

Blood was dripping, wetting his clothes.

"I don't have a [blue silk entanglement], so I can't buy much time, you guys run away as soon as possible."

Lu Guanchao said: "...If you can go out, please tell my parents, I will die comfortably."

With his appearance, he might not live long.

Shen Chan watched him move his steps little by little, every step brought out severe pain.

Time was running out, Lu Guanchao didn't talk nonsense with them, and he didn't even say a formal goodbye.

He walked quickly, without looking back, only thinking of something at a certain moment, and stopped slightly.

"Remember Zhong Jingyi."

He waved his hand as farewell: "She is a respectable teammate."

Human flesh and blood is the most popular food for ghosts.

Therefore, when the man covered in blood ran away quickly, it only took a second to attract the attention of most ghosts.

They came following the aura of Shenchen, unable to resist the temptation of blood, they rushed together.

There were five of them in total, and two ghosts didn't pay attention to him, and went straight to Shenchen's direction.

Lu Guanchao clenched his teeth.

When the pain reaches a certain limit, it becomes blurred instead.

His mind was in chaos, and he couldn't remember many things, except for one thought: to run.

Run desperately.

There was a distance between him and the ghosts themselves, even if the speed was not fast, when he was caught up, tens of seconds had passed.

The oppressive feeling is as heavy as a mountain, accompanied by the sly smiles of the ghosts one after another.

A condensed resentment pierced his lower abdomen, Lu Guanchao let out a muffled groan, and fell heavily.

Now, he can no longer even escape.

When he turned his head, the man looked at his bloody body.

Distorted and deformed, it is very weird, and it seems to be one of the monsters in the forest, which is very different from normal humans.

Lu Guanchao didn't move, his eyes were dim.

Sacrifice one's own life, go all out just to let another person live, no matter how you think about it, you will feel jealous and unhappy.

But...forget it.

Anyway, he is destined not to survive, and it feels good to do a good deed before he dies.

For some reason, in his last few waking thoughts, he remembered the face of the dead woman again, and what he had said to her.

Lu Guanchao smiled.

He doesn't want to lose either.

Whether it is against the evil god or against her.

Such a way of death should barely be called a "human being".

With many ghosts close at hand, Lu Guanchao moved his left hand vigorously, and exchanged for a small knife with a cold light from Baiye Mall.

Hands raised and knives fell, blood spurted——

One second before the fierce ghost attacked, he cut his own throat without hesitation.

At the same time, the crisp system sound filled the forest.

"Huaxia Region, challenger 'Lu Guanchao' died."
