Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Seeing this, Tanya organized her team to cooperate in the operation.

The three from Youguo followed.

Fan Xiao also raised his right arm and said, "A demi-human player."

In no time, players who weren't guilty all expressed their opinions.

Only five people remained, their faces grim and their bodies tense.

The five people silently gathered together, never revealing their assigned numbers.

Seeing this, Owen sneered, "Looks like it's you guys. 19:5, the number of cannibals isn't that high this time."

"Should we kill them?"

The player standing next to Owen suggested.

This remark immediately created a tense atmosphere in the bus station.

“Just recognize their faces to prevent them from sniping us from behind,” Owen retorted. “This dungeon is related to a curse, so it’s probably some kind of weird one. It’s not going to be easy. Let’s take care of ourselves first. We have no obligation to eliminate cannibalistic players.”

Upon hearing this, the five cannibalistic players not far away immediately felt much less pressured.

Of course, none of them let their guard down.

These days, there are plenty of guys who say one thing to your face and do another thing in secret.

Damn it... Did the cannibalistic player eat your rice or kill your mother to deserve this kind of targeting?

In terms of ferocity, these cannibalistic players are number one!

Why do I always feel so nervous every time I enter a dungeon?!

"Looks like a fight isn't going to happen." You Guo breathed a sigh of relief: "If they start fighting right away, it's hard to say who will die."

"It's good to find out the cannibalistic players," Xu Xuan said. "I just wonder if there are any still hiding?"

"Who can say for sure?" You Guo reminded him, "Be careful."

The 24 players were divided into 5 teams.

You Guo, Ou En, and Tan Ya each lead a team.

Five cannibal players formed the fourth team.

The remaining three players from the G02 node had no choice but to band together and form a fifth team.

Just then, the faint roar of an engine suddenly sounded outside the bus station.

In the desolate wasteland, the sound stood out and immediately attracted the attention of all the players.

Looking towards the station entrance, Fan Xiao saw an old bus slowly slowing down as it entered the station and finally stopped on the cracked cement floor.

Through the somewhat dirty car windows, you can see that the interior is very empty, with only a blurry figure in the driver's seat.

This godforsaken place... where did this bus come from?

Everyone became nervous.

Chapter 530 Tanya: Actually, I can see through lies

The doors of the bus, which was parked on the cracked ground, suddenly opened automatically.

Fan Xiao shifted his position and looked into the car from the doorway, where he saw a middle-aged man with a somewhat wooden expression sitting in the driver's seat.

At that moment, a hoarse announcement came from inside the bus: "This bus departs at 4:00 PM, with the final stop being Hongbai Village. Please prepare accordingly."

Upon hearing the broadcast, all 24 players brought up their player panels and checked the time.

3:50 PM.

Only 10 minutes left.

The driver remained seated, showing no intention of getting out.

He didn't even shift his gaze; the player seemed to be invisible to him.

Xu Xuan looked at You Guo, frowned and asked, "Old Qian, this car is too strange. When I went out to explore the terrain just now, I didn't find any other vehicles around. It's impossible for one to suddenly drive over from a distance in such a short time... Shall we get in the car?"

“It’s a bit strange,” Xiao Tian frowned. “That driver doesn’t act like a normal person. What should we do?”

"Let's go ahead, just to be on the safe side."

You Guo analyzed, "The name of this instance is Red and White Village, and the game prompts also remind us that players can enter Red and White Village, which means that Red and White Village is of utmost importance."

"Although the game prompts and dungeon quests conflict, if we stay here or go elsewhere and don't get involved with Red and White Village, what do you think our chances of clearing the game are?"

"Maybe we have to do the opposite," Xiao Tian retorted, trying to be argumentative.

You Guo asked, "Do you dare to try?"

Xiao Tian: "..."

"We seem to have a choice, but in reality we have no choice at all." You Guo sighed. "Let's just follow the process arranged by the instance, gather more information, and figure out the basic situation before we make any further moves."

At this point, he looked at Fan Xiao and asked, "Brother Fan, do you have any suggestions?"

“Guests,” Van Shaw said, “why not tourists, but guests?”

Upon hearing this, the three from Youguo immediately noticed this detail as well.

The broadcast did indeed refer to them as guests, not tourists.

Are the guests... going to the Red and White Village for some kind of event?

"What do you think it means?" Xiao Tian asked.

"We lack information; let's go and take a look first."

Fan Xiao did not give a direct response.

He raised his voice slightly, sounding quite excited, and said, "Of course, there's another option! I just thought of one. We can choose not to get on the bus, and after it departs, we can go in the opposite direction and get away from this place."

"I suspect that the Red and White Village mentioned in the dungeon quest is not the current Red and White Village, but the one from before."

“Didn’t we discover many ruins in the surrounding wasteland? Perhaps this area belonged to the Red and White Village a long time ago. Of course, it might not have been called Red and White Village before, but something else.”

"If we go against the direction the bus is going, we might be able to get out of the Red and White Village and complete the 'Escape' quest."

The plan is good, but why are you talking so loudly? There's no soundproofing right now... You Guo suspected that this Brother Fan in front of him wasn't as honest as he seemed, but he had no proof.

He could only give up his hesitation and said, "This conjecture is reasonable and well-founded, but... wouldn't it be a bit too risky to do this?"

"Perhaps we can give it a try; it could be considered an exploration of ways to pass the level," Xiao Tian said.

"I was just saying it casually, let's not go for it, or... should we wait for someone else to step on the landmine?"

Fan Xiao's voice suddenly became softer, so soft that only his teammates could hear it, and his expression became tense.

It was as if speaking loudly just now wasn't his intention, but rather that he hadn't been able to control his tongue.

He continued, "If I can think of this, other players should be able to as well. With more than twenty players here, the probability of everyone making the same decision is very small."

"Everyone has a different personality."

"The 'Escape from Red and White Village' quest in the instance serves as a warning to every player, so... perhaps not as many people dare to get on this bus as expected."

Damn it, so that's why you were speaking loudly!

What do you mean by "anyone else could think of that too"... wasn't it you who reminded me of it?!

I never expected you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be so cunning?

You Guo realized he had misjudged the man; this Brother Fan was nothing like an honest person!

But... this is for the best.

Having a treacherous teammate can undoubtedly increase your chances of survival in a dungeon.

However, we need to be careful about the potential backlash.

Meanwhile, other players also started discussing the issue.

Everyone kept a distance from each other and tried to keep their voices down.

With the props unusable, players with soundproofing abilities are extremely rare, so everyone was being very careful not to reveal their conversation.

Fan Xiao silently turned his gaze to the five cannibalistic players.

He was hesitant about whether to start accumulating good fortune.

He now has a 7-day "lucky period" without any calamities, so even if he accumulates luck in a dungeon, it won't affect him.

However... he hadn't had a chance to use the seven days of bad luck he had accumulated before, and his "bad luck bar" was full, so he couldn't store any new bad luck.

You need to clear it first.

So... how about we randomly select a lucky player and give them a piece of their unlucky experience?

Given his noble character and high moral standards, he certainly couldn't lay a hand on the players in the Order of the Order; otherwise, his conscience would be severely and painfully tormented.

Fortunately, there were five cannibalistic players present.

Fan Xiao hesitated... Should he offer warmth to the cannibalistic players, or wait until he encountered a dungeon boss and then bestow his rare experience of bad luck upon the boss?

His ability to change his luck and transfer it to someone else is not as effortless as making a wish based on luck.

Simply put, he can only transfer his bad luck to things within his field of vision, or to things that are causally related to him.

The simplest cause-and-effect relationship is "contact".

Anyone he has met, or anyone he has heard detailed information about from others, even if they are separated by many identical letter nodes, he can still use this causal connection to bring misfortune upon them.

The boss of this instance currently has no deep causal relationship with him; he doesn't even know who the boss is, so he can't directly transfer the misfortune.

It's okay to wish bad luck to the other person.

Misfortune is merely a byproduct of the S-class psionic power "Quantum Immortality." Perhaps with the full awakening of psionic power, many of the current limitations can be eliminated.

Fan Xiao thought for a while and finally gave up the idea of ​​"not being a son".

At most, it will only delay the accumulation of luck by one or two days. It's better to save the seven days of bad luck for the upcoming dungeon boss.

Having made his decision, and relying on the little angel who could automatically fight back, he boldly approached the bus, stepped onto it, and asked the middle-aged man sitting in the driver's seat, "Master, are you from Red and White Village?"

The driver did not respond.

Fan Xiao continued, "Master, have you eaten?"

"..."

"Sir, does your car go back and forth? When we want to leave Hongbai Village, can you come back to pick us up?"

"..."

"Master, your mother is dead!"

"..."

The middle-aged man remained silent, like a corpse.

Upon witnessing this scene, the players outside the car admired Fan Xiao's courage while secretly raising their vigilance to the highest level.

A bus suddenly appeared, and the driver was like a dead man... Given this situation, who would believe there was nothing fishy about this bus?

Whether or not to get on the bus became a difficult decision.

This was also one of the reasons why Fan Xiao came to question him—to increase the "psychological cost" for others when it came to getting on the bus.

Of course, he himself wouldn't actually be such a reckless person.

Earlier, when he left the bus station to explore the outside world, he activated the "Flesh and Blood Ancestor," transforming into a flesh and blood worm and burrowing into the earth.

The "Fan Xiao" currently active on the ground is just an empty shell, a puppet on strings.

The real Fan Xiao was hiding far away from everyone.

Meanwhile, the five cannibalistic players quietly distanced themselves from the other players.

There were four men and one woman. The female player had long, narrow eyes that looked like knives, sharp and fierce.

The fierce woman, named Canglang, has the highest evolution rate among the five, reaching 72%, entering the B-level evolution rate range, and obtaining the "second form" of the man-eating player.

With everyone unable to use items, as long as she activates her second form, she can immediately gain overwhelming three-dimensional attributes—strength, speed, and constitution—that surpass all other players present.

It can also utilize the genetic capabilities of various animals.
