Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Su Ye pointed to the light screen and showed it to everyone:

"Rock, paper, scissors."

Wu Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

When he was choosing cards, his finger landed directly on the top row.

--Stone.

"When Captain Wu was selecting cards, his fingers moved noticeably upwards."

Su Ye looked at Wu Feng and continued speaking:

"The other party saw it."

"He can tell what card you played just by seeing which row your finger stops on."

Wang Kui couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath:

"Damn, that's insidious!"

Wu Feng shook his head, his voice somewhat deep:

"It's not insidious."

We underestimated the situation.

He looked at his wrist; the light screen had gone out.

"No one who has survived to this day has done so by luck."

The fact that he specifically sought me out shows that he had already realized we were newcomers who hadn't yet adapted to the rules.

He paused:

"He's just using everything he can."

If I were in their shoes, I would have done the same.

After listening, Chen Shou hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking:

"Let's not play any games for now."

He scanned the crowd:

"Observe first."

See how others play, what strategies they use, and what traps they encounter.

He paused:

Two hours.

They dispersed, observing but not fighting.

Let's meet back here in two hours.

We'll share the information we've gathered and then discuss how to proceed.

The group nodded in agreement and parted ways.

Su Ye led Li Xiaowei around the entire hall, observing and exploring.

It was through this subtle observation that he discovered the difference.

The entire hall consists of hundreds of gaming tables, densely packed in the central area.

At each table, people were playing chess, watching, or waiting.

Around the hall, along the circular walls, are doorways of various sizes.

Su Ye led Li Xiaowei past the edge, looking at each door one by one.

Some of them are toilets, and people occasionally go in and out of the entrance.

Some are "conversation rooms." After people go in, the lights on the door will turn on, but through the semi-transparent glass door, you can vaguely see people sitting opposite each other with light screens on their wrists, seemingly operating something.

Su Ye stopped outside a certain conversation room, and could vaguely see what was happening inside through the semi-transparent door—

Two people are sitting facing each other.

They raised their wrists, and the light screen unfolded, but they weren't playing chess.

One of them ran his finger across his deck, pointing to several cards.

The cards detached from the light screen and slowly floated towards another person's light screen.

The other person reached out and took it, and at the same time, a star floated out from their own light screen and fell towards the other person.

transaction.

Su Ye's pupils contracted slightly.

Some people are exchanging stars for cards, cards for stars, or even cards for cards.

Su Ye withdrew her gaze and continued walking forward.

Further ahead, several doors were half-open, and the aroma of food wafted out.

A uniformed man stood guard at the door, expressionless.

Someone went in and came out a moment later with a plate of food and water, eating as they walked and wolfing it down.

kitchen.

Su Ye approached discreetly and peered through the crack in the door to see a simple dining table inside, where several survivors were queuing to buy things.

As they took their food and water, a star floated from their wrists and flew into the light screen displaying the food.

One star, in exchange for a meal.

Su Ye stood there, stunned for two seconds.

Star.

It can be used to restore youth.

It can be used to repair limbs.

It can awaken ordinary people into Sequencers.

It allows lower-level awakened individuals to advance in rank.

Here, one star can only be exchanged for one meal and one bottle of water.

He remembered that he hadn't had a drop of water all day, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he looked away.

Stars are too precious; at least for now, he can't afford to waste them on a meal.

Su Ye withdrew his gaze.

"Let's look around some more."

-

We drove around for another half hour.

Su Ye stopped and said to Li Xiaowei,

"You can wander around by yourself for now, I'm going to the restroom."

Li Xiaowei nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

Su Ye headed towards the corner restroom.

The hallway where the restroom was located was dimmer than the lobby, and footsteps were absorbed by the carpet, making it unusually quiet.

Su Ye walked to the door, and just as he raised his hand to push it open, the sound coming from inside made him pause.

"Boss, just as expected, as long as you kill someone, you get their stars and cards!"

It was a young man's voice, tinged with suppressed excitement.

Then came another hoarse voice:

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly check if he has any food on him—wait, the door seems to be..."

Su Ye pushed open the door and went inside.

Inside the restroom, three people were surrounding a man who had collapsed at the door of a stall.

The man had obvious ligature marks on his neck, and his body was still twitching slightly, but he was no longer moving.

The three murderers turned around at the same time.

The moment they saw Su Ye, the panic on their faces lasted only half a second, followed by vigilance and greed.

The leader was a bald man in his thirties with a sinister look in his eyes.

He gave a wink to the left and right, and the three of them immediately spread out, forming a semi-circle to block the bathroom door.

The door closed automatically behind Su Ye.

"Brother, you've come at a bad time."

The bald man grinned, revealing a set of yellow teeth.

"Since you've run into them, don't leave."

"Hand over the stars, and I'll spare your life."

The other two slowly approached, clutching a belt torn from the corpse and a stick that appeared out of nowhere.

Su Ye did not move. His gaze swept across the three faces and finally landed on the fallen corpse.

The man's wristband was still glowing, but the star count had dropped to zero, and the deck was empty.

This result shows that the rules permit killing, and even encourage killing.

After all, killing the opponent will grant you all of their stars and cards.

I just don't know what kind of punishment those organizers will give to the murderers.

Su Ye lowered his head, not responding to the other person's words, as if he was thinking or stalling for time.

one second.

two seconds.

Five seconds.

ten seconds.

The door did not open.

There were no footsteps in the corridor.

No one came in.

The bald man grew impatient:

"Stop fucking dawdling!"

If you don't hand it over in three seconds, I'll kill you too—

Su Ye raised his head and asked calmly:

"Is this your first time killing someone here?"

The bald man paused for a moment:

"What?"

Su Ye pointed to the area outside the door.

Aren't you afraid of those guards?

"You're killing people here, and those people aren't doing anything about it?"

The bald man and his two companions exchanged a glance, then grinned maliciously.

"You fucking expect someone to save you?"

Let me tell you, nobody cares about this lousy place!

A murder in the toilet won't be heard outside!

"so,"

Su Ye confirmed.

"You killed people and nothing happened to you?"

"Nonsense! Otherwise, how would I dare—"

Before the bald man could finish speaking, Su Ye made a move.

His movements were so fast that the three of them didn't even see how he rushed over.

The bald man felt a sudden tightening on his wrist, and he was twisted and thrown to the ground, his face pressed hard against the cold tiles.

The other two had just raised their belts and sticks when Su Ye kicked them in the back of the knees, causing them to fall to their knees and their weapons to fly out of their hands.

The entire process takes no more than three seconds.

By the time the bald man came to his senses, his hands were already tied behind his back, his face was pressed against the ground, and Su Ye's knee was pressing on his lower back, without moving an inch.

"You...you're a fucking Awakened One?!"
