“Is he going to rush over like this?” Ji Xingque watched Yue Ren’s confident operation. He originally thought this person had some perfect way to deal with it, but he never expected that his final performance would be so simple and unpretentious.
The red go-kart in the surveillance video accelerated and sped away at an even faster speed.
As long as he kept speeding forward in this state, it could be imagined the perfect arc he would draw in the air after rushing off the cliff.
Ji Xingque looked between the screen and Chi Ting, trying to verify it, “Captain, did I miss some type of key hint before?”
“You didn’t miss it.” Chi Ting looked back and met his gaze. There was a faint smile on his face and he looked seemingly normal. “He is just gambling.”
Gambling?
Ji Xingque was at a loss for a while. Then when Chi Ting looked at him, he shuddered again. “Captain, if you feel unhappy about something, then you can just tell me directly. Don’t smile at me like that.”
“Huh?” Chi Ting slightly raised an eyebrow. The curve of his lips didn’t change at all, and his unhurried words that matched his demeanor made him look even more amiable. “Why do you think I am unhappy? Some people just like to use all types of methods to seek death and excitement. There is nothing wrong with that.”
Ji Xingque: “.”
Ji Xingque, “…QAQ.”
Was there really no problem?
But why did it always make people feel more terrible…
He opened his mouth and was about to say something else when he suddenly heard Song Xuefeng speak beside him, “Look at that.”
Ji Xingque looked over when he heard the noise. He couldn’t help exclaiming, “A sneak attack?”
Chi Ting’s eyes, which always seemed calm, flashed with a hint of sharpness at this moment.
The heavy chain was like a venomous snake. In an instant, it reached the rear of the red team’s go-kart.
The huge friction sound of the chain vibrating naturally attracted Yue Ren’s attention. He had already prepared to fly over the unilateral bridge. He caught a glimpse of the flashing metallic color behind him. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled.
Really, wasn’t it good to be alive?
He was actually quite grateful for this person’s help in verifying the rules. Why did this person have to rush in and seek death?
In the face of people who provoked him for no reason, he wasn’t as easy to talk to as Chi Ting.
Yue Ren’s eyelids lowered slightly. The shadow under his eyes moved faintly, but he still seemed unaware and just let the chains approach.
In the blue go-kart parked on the side of the road, Miao Zhou held the other end of the chain in one hand as he stared at the figure that was gradually going away.
He concentrated on operating the chain as if unaware of the unusual movements caused by the gradual creaking of the car body. His pale face, which showed that he was ready to die, was filled with a suppressed yet uncontrollable sinister madness.
Creak, creak.
The familiar sound of breaking lingered in his ears. Even without lowering his eyes, the sticky feeling of the threads extending from the car body was enough to make Miao Zhou feel the hairs on his body stand up.
However, as the fear of death completely took control of all the cells in his body, he instead put all his attention on the chain in his hand. It was the S-grade item he had purchased from the mall with almost all his points.
Rule 7 was already confirmed to be correct.
In any case, he was already destined to die here, so let him pave the way for the team one last time.
‘Captain, don’t worry, no one in the Jazz team will ever hold the team back. Even if I am going to die, I at least have to find someone else to be buried with me!’
Miao Zhou exerted so much force that the chain unknowingly cut his palm. The dripping blood made the rapidly spreading threads at the bottom appear even more excited.
He seemed unaware of it. Only the silhouette of the red go-kart remained in his pupils.
It was getting closer.
Closer.
The chain stretched out quickly like a beast with bared fangs, ready to hunt. Just as it approached the cliff, it finally wrapped tightly around the body of the go-kart.
Under the drag of two huge forces, a few sparks from the friction rose faintly on the ground.
The sharp sound caused temporary deafness when it passed by his ears. Miao Zhou ignored the blood oozing from his ears and slowly raised his lips in a distinct arc.
Right, this was it.
How could he be the only one eliminated? If this person wanted to leave him behind so much, let’s see how he could pass the unilateral bridge under such restraints that couldn’t be shaken off.
Without sufficient momentum, the only possible outcome would be to fall completely into the abyss, right?
The moment the chain was tied, the two cars were forced to be connected together and the speeding trend of the go-kart driven by Yue Ren suddenly stopped. At the same time, it could be felt that the blue go-kart under Miao Zhou was also pulled forward.
It was almost impossible to drive two go-karts at the same time with only a single engine. In this situation, seeing that the red go-kart was about to be pulled into the abyss by the chain, Miao Zhou was smiling wildly when he realized something and paused.
As if to confirm something, he lowered his eyes in disbelief, and his eyes trembled. He didn’t notice that the life-threatening threads, which should’ve been wrapped around his waist, had retracted into the body of the car at some point.
Why?
Wasn’t this the punishment for him after breaking the rule? Then why?
Wait, maybe…
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Miao Zhou’s mind. In an instant, expressions of frustration and joy appeared repeatedly on his face as if twitching.
However, he couldn’t see the smile that suddenly appeared on Yue Ren’s face at this moment. If Chi Ting saw the expression under the helmet, it would be enough to realize that this man was obviously waiting for this moment.
It was only when hope was found again in the midst of despair, only to be instantly broken, that it was true, complete despair.
Miao Zhou was distracted and didn’t even notice the sudden change in front of him. Before the joy of escaping from a desperate situation could fully appear on his face, the sudden roar of the engine instantly drew his attention back.
The moment he looked up, the only things that fell into his field of view were overwhelming black shadows.
“Ahhhhhh—!”
The chain connecting the two vehicles was completely broken by the sharp shadow blades. Once the force of the pull was broken, the entire car body suddenly lost control and rushed forward.
An intense tearing sensation spread through Miao Zhou’s body in an instant. The moment his skin was torn and blood dripped, his eyes fell into a brief darkness. However, the glimmer of life that he had captured again in the previous moment made him hold the steering wheel tightly in his hands and not let go.
These thin threads were just a cover.
Even if the vehicle stopped temporarily, as long as it started moving again then the threads would retract into the body of the car.
Rule 7 was indeed a correct rule.
But the main focus of violating the rule wasn’t stopping at the roadside, but the words ‘get off.’
As long as he didn’t get out of the car.
Yes, there was still a way to continue the game as long as he stayed in the car!
Miao Zhou tried desperately to retain his sanity as he was losing too much blood. Just as he was trying with all his strength to hold onto the steering wheel while the car was out of control, he suddenly felt as if he was floating up in a state of weightlessness.
He looked down in a trance and saw that his hands on the steering wheel were completely severed, as well as the bloody but very smooth cross section of his wrists.
In order to have better control of the chain, Miao Zhou had already unbuckled the seat belt. Now that his body was cut off from his limbs, he was terrified and tried to cling onto something. However, he couldn’t stop his body from completely falling out of the car.
He had no time to care about the pain caused by falling heavily to the ground. The moment he left the go-kart, he could see countless threads rushing out from the car body as if they were released from their restraints. They spread towards him one after another, completely engulfing him in surging waves.
No, he didn’t want to—!
Help, save him!
Ahhhhhh—!
The scream that was on the tip of his tongue was instantly silenced because his throat was so tightly bound by the threads. The squirming pink threads were instantly soaked in blood and turned scarlet. However, they became more and more active as if they were extremely greedy for the taste of blood.
Under the extremely brutal scene, only intermittent whimpers were left. No matter how hard he struggled, in just a few seconds, only a pile of rotten and mottled bones was left.
These threads finally seemed to feel satisfied after swallowing him up. They slowly squirmed and retracted into the blue go-kart that was overturned on the side of the road. They gradually returned to their original positions and left no traces on the body of the car.
In Miao Zhou’s live stream room, the comments were also silent as the screen went completely dark.
The indigestible death process made countless players behind the screen retch.
There was also silence in front of the screen of the blue team’s surveillance area.
“Substitute, hurry up and connect.”
After Qu Leng spoke, a figure walked away quickly, and the others remained silent for a long time.
Rule 6 clearly stated that substitute players weren’t allowed to enter the field during the game. They would only be allowed if a player was injured and couldn’t continue the game.
Once this rule was applied, it meant…
“Captain, Miao Zhou…”
The look in the eyes of the team member next to him flicked slightly. Finally, he squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth, “The guy from the Dawn team obviously did it on purpose! He had a way to cut the chain directly. There was no need to wait until the vehicles were completely connected. He just wanted to… he did it on purpose. He deliberately let Miao Zhou realize the truth of Rule 7 before taking away his last hope! He deliberately lured Miao Zhou to death!”
“That’s enough. He wasn’t as skilled as the other person. There is nothing to say.” Diao Baiwei’s expression wasn’t very good. She took a deep breath and calmed down. Then she said coldly, “It was MIao Zhou who started it first. If we really want to trace it back, we aren’t in the right.”
The team member next to her said angrily, “Miao Zhou was just implementing our team’s policy. From what you said, does this mean that he deserves it?”
“I didn’t say he deserved it.” Diao Baiwei frowned. There was inevitably some irritation in her tone.
“Stop arguing. There is no point in arguing about this now.” Qu Leng’s face didn’t show much emotion. He just said slowly, “Let’s talk about Miao Zhou’s matter once it is over. Instead of all of this, we might as well think about how to deal with what happens next. It is best if we can turn the situation around. But if we are doomed to lose this project, how can we make it so that we lose less game coins? Don’t forget, we still need to rush for the team rankings. If the news we received before is correct, we don’t have much time to rush for the rankings.”
They only had the surveillance perspective of the blue team members and couldn’t see the driving conditions of the red team’s go-kart.
Judging from the fact that no other red team members could be seen heading to the starting point, it wasn’t known how the starting member of the red team did it, but he should’ve successfully passed the unilateral bridge area.
By the time they finished the first lap, it meant that the Dawn team was already a full lap ahead of them.
