Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

Night quietly descended upon D-card.

When Li Zhi went down the mountain to the canteen for lunch, he noticed that the usually quiet and peaceful Emerald Mountain Range was now filled with restless footsteps and rustling sounds.

She stopped and looked into the depths of the dense forest.

A pair of green eyes lit up and then went out.

Soon, pairs of eyes, some bright yellow and some emerald green, lit up.

The roar of the waterfall crashing against the rocks drowned out the footsteps of wild animals.

Li Zhi only noticed them when they got so close.

The words "beast tide" came to mind.

Li Zhi's expression turned serious.

Her spaceship was nearby; she could easily teleport or run back without these beasts harming her.

However, the employees at the foot of the mountain did not live inside the barrier.

Without the protection of a safety barrier, they had no ability to resist.

Li Zhi immediately used his mind to send messages to Bai Ge, Hao Shi, Duihao Ruzuo, Ouhuang, and others.

Instruct them to immediately bring all the customers and employees who have not yet left into the barrier.

When Bai Ge received the message, he was tidying up the shelves of the general store. Upon hearing it, his expression changed, and he rushed out without hesitation: "Everyone, enter the Unforgettable Danger Barrier immediately!"

Because of the unique nature of the Emerald Mountains, they are rarely attacked by wild animals at night. In addition, they are close to the Artisan Town and the Seventh Trial Zone, so many visitors from afar stay a little longer.

Some people even choose to spend the night outside, only heading to the artisan town that refuses to take in people and the trial area, which is extremely dangerous at night, just before dawn the next day.

As it turns out, the Emerald Mountains have indeed been very safe these days; even sleeping outside the barrier, there have been no wild beast attacks.

A couple of days ago, merchants and customers would keep watch over each other at night, but these past two nights, many people have brought their own sleeping bags and tents.

When the grocery store, which was always on guard against danger, closed, the women spread out their sleeping bags and tents near the small wooden cabins built by the employees, and started camping.

Some casual gamers even called it a must-visit spot in the Eastern Continent, taking tons of photos of the daytime scenery and nighttime views and posting them in the chat area, attracting many customers who weren't planning to buy anything to come and check it out.

Bai Ge reported this situation to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was unaware of the impending beast tide, but he made it clear that he had to refuse and persuade these people to leave.

After all, gatherings of people whose identities are unknown are bound to cause disputes and trouble.

If something goes wrong, the reputation of her newly opened grocery store will plummet, and it will also affect her exchange that hasn't even opened yet.

It's easy for these players to gather, but difficult to persuade them to leave.

Especially for players whose flying boat attributes aren't high, it's better to stop at Buwangwei and set up a tent than to stay on their flying boat and spend defense points or ammunition every night to deal with attacks from flying birds and monsters.

It saves both money and effort.

Li Zhi had considered rectifying the situation, but both of her clones were extremely busy these past few days, so she could only let Bai Ge and the others figure out a solution themselves.

Seeing these wild animals in the mountains, her heart skipped a beat, and the first thought that popped into her mind was:

Fortunately, the grocery store wasn't listed on the stock exchange; otherwise, the public opinion and crisis triggered by this one incident would have been enough to cause the stock to plummet.

But she immediately realized that the beast was still testing the waters, and it wasn't too late to bring everyone into the barrier first.

After sending the message, Li Zhi hurried down the mountain.

Not only Bai Ge, but also Ou Huang and Tan Sheng Pass were urging people who had pitched tents and sleeping bags outside to enter the barrier.

Some people were very clever; before they could even persuade her, they had already packed their things and hurriedly went to reserve a spot.

Some people simply wouldn't listen, saying nothing more than, "This isn't Samsung's territory! You have no right to tell me what to do!"

Those around him chimed in:

"Yeah, they just told us to come in, but they didn't say what it was for. How are we supposed to know why they want us to come in?"

"It's just a grocery store, but they really think they're number one on the racial rankings. I can sleep wherever I want, or you can give me a membership card and I'll go in."

"Yes, yes, I'd go in too if you gave me a membership card!"

Li Zhi happened to witness this scene.

She stopped, wanting to see how the "Survival Pass" would resolve the situation.

He pulled out his gun to save his life.

She pressed her hand directly against the man's forehead: "Are you coming in or not?"

The man was taken aback, his gaze shifting from her pale face to her steady, unshaking hands.

"Trying to scare me with something?"

The man sneered, quickly pulled a gun from his pocket, and aimed it at the passerby.

"You think you're the only one with a gun? Do you think I could sleep here without a weapon to defend myself? Want to see whose gun is faster?"

Greedy Pass put away his gun.

"Then you can sleep outside."

She walked past the man and knocked directly on the door of the wooden house next door: "The boss wants everyone to enter the Unforgettable Danger Barrier. Don't pack your things yet, now."

The workers rushed out without hesitation.

The other workers did the same, abandoning everything in the house and rushing straight into the barrier.

—They were in contact with the workers who remained in the Yunkuang dormitory area, and they all knew that after Li Zhi blew up the dormitory, a group of tall men came and arrested all the workers who remained there.

Now, they have lost contact with all the workers who were taken away.

It's obvious that these people have most likely met with misfortune.

And this happened just yesterday.

The workers' actions made some guests who were reluctant to enter the barrier hesitate: "What's going on? These workers are so obedient? They follow orders without question, just like soldiers."

"Is something really wrong? I'd better go in; squeezing in is more important than my life."

Some people stubbornly refused to leave.

But neither Tan Sheng Pass nor Bai Ge and the others tried to dissuade them anymore, and instead rushed into the barrier at top speed.

Li Zhi also appeared inside the barrier at this time.

The entire barrier is only 250 square meters.

With the workers, Bai Ge and her group, and Hena and her group, there were already 182 people. Adding the stranded guests, more than 200 people were crammed into a space of just over 200 square meters. Even though the general store had three floors, it was still quite crowded.

Li Zhi did not appear. Instead, he instructed Bai Ge and the others to divide the workers into groups: some went to the villa area where Bai Ge and the others lived, and some went to the canteen.

The remaining workers stayed within the premises of the grocery store with the customers.

The space became a little more spacious, but it wasn't comfortable either. However, no one complained; everyone held their breath and waited, wondering what would happen.

However, as the night deepened, the outside remained calm.

The person left outside the barrier stretched and rolled around on the grass, lazily saying, "I really envy you all being able to squeeze in to sleep, unlike me, who can only sleep on a spacious lawn."

As soon as the man finished speaking, a series of low roars echoed from the surrounding mountain ranges.

Red, green, and orange beast eyes appeared densely among the shadows of trees and mountains, surrounding the entire valley.
