Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

This season's team competition is divided into four major regions, with thirty teams qualifying for each region, for a total of one hundred and twenty teams and nearly two thousand players.

Black Wind Stronghold team was matched with the South Division, where they met familiar teams such as Bad Species team, Spring Water team, and Hunter Time and Space team.

Unlike regular season matches, team matches have a longer duration, so players can bring their own suitcases into the game waiting area, containing changes of clothes and daily necessities, and of course, snacks.

Each team's waiting area is independent, similar to a three-story villa, with bedrooms for everyone to take turns resting, and several bathrooms.

The living room is spacious, with neatly arranged leather chairs and a large screen in the center, which can be used to watch teammates, receive system commands, and view real-time score changes.

The right wall has two doors, one black and one white. The doors open automatically when the lights on them are on, and this is the passage for players to enter the main instance.

Tang Yunxi opened her suitcase and piled up a table full of snacks she had bought in advance, and also neatly arranged a row of energy drinks so that her teammates could replenish their energy at any time.

She turned around and saw Yi Zanglan wearing a black trench coat, tactical work pants, and riding boots. He had a strong waist and long legs and was leaning against the main seat with a beer in his hand, looking indifferent and lost in thought.

"...Lanlan." She stammered, "You're so handsome."

"You flatter me. Thank you, Xiaoying, for sponsoring the battle suit."

Wu Ying, sitting beside her, raised the corners of her lips upon hearing this and proudly gave a thumbs up: "Of course."

Yi Zanglan then looked at Yan Zhao on the other side: "When does the first game start? Have the specific rules been released yet?"

Yan Zhao stroked the longevity lock around his neck while quickly browsing system messages.

She said, "The first match will start in half an hour. It will be a 2V2 format, with each team participating in two matches and entering the black and white doors respectively. The team captain can choose the members who enter the black door, while the system will randomly select the members who enter the white door. The results will be announced on the big screen."

Yi Zanglan pondered for a moment, then calmly looked around and asked, "Who wants to go?"

"Let's go."

Jiang Ling and Jiang Yao spoke in unison, exchanged a glance, and then turned to Yi Zanglan at the same time.

"Since it's a doubles competition, teamwork is probably very important. My brother and I are confident that we can make a good start."

Jiang Yao's voice was calm and steady: "Lingling and I will scout out the way for everyone and try our best to get as many points as possible."

"I'm very relieved that you two are willing to participate." Yi Zanglan nodded. "Our team doesn't have any strict performance requirements. Just enjoy the competition and do what you can."

At this moment, Yan Zhao gently patted her shoulder, gesturing for her to look up: "The results of the random draw are in."

All eyes instantly focused on the big screen, where a dual-person display popped up:

On the left, a big-eyed girl with braided pigtails is energetically flashing a peace sign at the camera; on the right, a pretty girl in a red dress is smiling and making half a heart – the other half is on her boyfriend's side, as her solo poster was automatically cropped out by the system.

[Wang Mingyue]: If you knew how I got into the team, you'd definitely think I was lucky!

[Su Su]: Only by unconditionally following the captain's guidance can we have a bright future!

"Susu, it's the two of us!"

"Really, that's great!"

The two immediately stood up, showing no fear of being suddenly chosen, only undisguised excitement and exhilaration.

Li Siqi knew that Su Su had wanted to prove herself in the team competition for a long time. Her appearance in the first game was very ceremonial. He was happy for her, but he couldn't help but worry.

"You two be very careful."

"Don't worry." Su Su kissed him on the cheek, her expression confident and firm. "We just haven't activated our skills yet, but that doesn't mean we're weak."

"That's right!" Wang Mingyue exclaimed with high spirits. "Captain, we'll work hard to contribute to our team's points!"

Yi Zanglan smiled and said, "Alright, generals, I'll be here waiting for your triumphant return."

……

Half an hour later, the lights on both doors in the living room turned on at the same time, and suddenly there was a click from the invisible door lock, which meant that we could enter the dungeon space.

Jiang Ling and Jiang Yao, Wang Mingyue and Su Su, entered the black gate and the white gate respectively, watched by their teammates.

The two doors were then locked again, and shortly afterward, the large screen split in two, broadcasting the team's match live.

[System notification: The two-player "Hide and Seek" instance has finished loading.]

[Before the bell stops ringing, quickly find a hiding place and don't get caught by the masked monster!]

[This round has a total of 30 participants, divided into teams, and points are calculated based on the final survival time.]

[Note: All player skills, weapons, and items will be automatically disabled in this round. Good luck!]

……

Wang Mingyue and Su Su opened their eyes at the same time and found themselves in an abandoned amusement park. Looking around, the ground was gray and hazy, as if covered with a gray filter, or as if a sandstorm had just passed.

This is their hide-and-seek location for the day.

"The venue is huge." Su Su quickly confirmed the rules. She looked around warily and whispered to Wang Mingyue, "Fifteen teams for the Black Gate and fifteen teams for the White Gate. There are thirty players in total in this round. As long as we try to avoid being caught by the masked monster, the longer we survive, the higher our score will be."

Wang Mingyue thought carefully: "Ordinary places are easy to find, so we need to develop some unexpected locations."

"Let's go and familiarize ourselves with the surrounding terrain first."

The two walked hand in hand, encouraging each other.

"We can't use skills, weapons, or items in this game, which means everyone is starting from the same point, which is actually very beneficial for us."

"That's right. Without the help of external assistance, it's purely a test of on-the-spot reaction ability. I believe that the two of us are no worse than anyone else."

Before the words were even finished, a piercing bell rang out throughout the entire amusement park, making the two of them tremble.

Wang Mingyue instinctively covered her ears: "That's too fast! It hasn't even been ten minutes since the game started!"

Not knowing how long the ringing would last, they had to hide before it stopped, so the two began frantically searching everywhere.

The rules don't provide any restrictions or hints, which means you can hide anywhere, as long as it's well concealed.

The two ran at full speed, and saw several other teams of players along the way, but everyone was quite busy and didn't have much time to observe each other.

Su Su paid special attention to the routes taken by the players, and then saw Wang Mingyue suddenly brake and grab her sleeve.

"Susu, I've got it!"

She was taken aback, and looked in the direction the other person was pointing. She saw a square trash can, about half a person's height, standing in the corner of the wall, and her eyes lit up.

"Okay, I'll do as you say!"

Without hesitation, the two immediately lifted the lid of the trash can and jumped in.
