Chapter 205: Global Hide and Seek 15
His seemingly relaxed posture belied taut muscles. The fluid yet powerful lines, restrained yet undeniably capable of explosive strength at any moment.
Chu Yian felt like Teacher Lu was going to eliminate her this round.
Who knew she would be nervous for seven minutes, only to safely survive until the end?
The number of surviving players in this round was only 87, setting a new low record. She was even a little surprised that she managed to clear this round.
Replaying the last few minutes of the game:
First, the short hunter discovered her presence, then the pillow player couldn’t hold on and ran out, and immediately after, Lu Qingyuan appeared and saved her life.
Lu Qingyuan barely moved for the last seven minutes of the previous game, making her wonder if he had deliberately gone easy on her to let her clear the round.
But that shouldn’t be the case.
He didn’t know who the cushion was, nor did he have memories from previous games. Moreover, Lu Qingyuan almost sent her away in the last game, so the reason that he discovered her identity and deliberately saved her was too difficult to establish.
Could it be that Lu Qingyuan, who hunted eagles all his life, had his eyes pecked out by an eagle?
But that was even more unlikely.
Even the short hunter had noticed the problem; for him, a top-ranked hunter, to be so blind was a bit unreasonable.
Chu Yian felt that this kind of thing could only be verified in person.
But to verify whether Lu Qingyuan was deliberately helping with her own life, only a fool would do that.
There’s no need.
Her life was her own; dying would not be worth it.
Since she could come out alive, the most important thing was to think about how to clear the next two rounds of the game.
Chu Yian rubbed her face, picked up a cup of black coffee, and drank it to perk herself up.
Oh, where are Jie Yan and the others?
Usually, Jie Yan and his team would come to find her after the game ended. Chu Yian only now realized that Jie Yan’s team seemed a bit slow this time. She looked at the room, which was already filled with a thousand people, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.
“Little Chu!”
Zhang Yunwu found her alone at this moment and then brought bad news, “Brother Jie and Liu Wen were eliminated in the last round of the game.”
As expected… Chu Yian frowned deeply.
Although everyone was on their own in this round and there was no cooperation to speak of, she was still a little sad that the two of them were eliminated.
Zhang Yunwu looked at her at this moment, “Don’t worry, Brother Jie told me before that I would take good care of you!”
Uh… “You take good care of yourself, and good luck clearing the last two rounds of the game.”
Chu Yian replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, that feeling of being watched appeared again.
Chu Yian turned to look at the pure white wall, couldn’t help but tap on it, and then placed both hands on either side of her forehead, pressing them against the white wall, trying to look outside.
Her actions made Zhang Yunwu also curiously look at the white wall, “What’s wrong with this wall?”
“Do you feel like someone is observing you?”
Chu Yian saw that she couldn’t see anything even when she got close, so she pulled her hands back, crossed her arms, and examined the walls and ceiling of the room, “Actually, I’ve always been curious about what’s outside the room, where we go after we pass out, and where those hunters are after they leave the game.”
However, the hide-and-seek game was too exhausting, making it difficult to find time to get to the bottom of these details.
But her words reminded Zhang Yunwu.
“That’s right, what you said makes sense.”
“What happened after we passed out? Could the background of this game be an experiment?”
Zhang Yunwu began to imagine wildly, “Are we experimental subjects? What exactly is the purpose of the people behind this?”
Zhang Yunwu started thinking and couldn’t stop, even beginning to connect things with conspiracy theories.
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became, as if facing a formidable enemy.
“Actually, there’s no need to be so nervous. We just need to successfully evade the hunters’ searches for two more rounds to clear the game.”
Chu Yian didn’t expect him to react so strongly to her casual remark, “I’m just curious, these questions actually don’t have much to do with us.”
After saying that, she turned to eat something, as if she really had just mentioned it casually.
But was she really not curious?
She was curious to death, even trying to hold her breath to avoid inhaling gas and stay awake to investigate. Unfortunately, the duration of the gas far exceeded the human limit for holding one’s breath, and Chu Yian never succeeded once.
She didn’t succeed this time either.
So Chu Yian also wouldn’t know that after all the players were gassed, the roof above them would open, and mechanical arms would reach out to grab the players and place them into individual hibernation pods.
This was a unique management method for the prey.
In the vast space, tens of millions of hibernation capsules were neatly arranged in rows. There was no beginning or end in sight, horizontally or vertically. Even if a player performed exceptionally well in the hide-and-seek game, they became insignificant here.
And at this moment, the door to the hibernation pod display hall opened.
A single set of footsteps was both conspicuous and extremely tiny in the massive space.
The top-ranked hunter walked past rows of hibernation pods, and among the countless pods, he precisely found the person he was looking for.
Number 3210.
Her eyes were tightly closed, and she looked even more docile in hibernation than he had imagined.
Lu Qingyuan quietly watched her through the glass of the hibernation pod. There were no longer even footsteps around, and the vast space was eerily silent and empty…
The fourth round of the game has begun!
Although a day had passed, the players felt as if they had only had a long sleep, and when they woke up again, they were full of energy.
It was time again for the hidden item draw, and Chu Yian was incredibly lucky this time, drawing a ring.
The game environment this time was a museum.
The map was twice as large as the furniture store, and all the players had transformed into valuable antiques, or at the very least, ancient fossils.
Chu Yian felt that drawing the ring was lucky not because it was easy to disguise, but because it was easy to hide!
She directly found a large hall, pulled up a warning tape to cordon off a spot for herself, and then lay on the ground. Immediately after, with a thought, her treasure box instantly appeared. She directly enlarged the treasure box to its maximum size and used it to press herself down.
Her treasure box had also increased in weight when its area expanded.
With two or three tons of weight pressing on her, those hunters would have to be capable to move it.
Chu Yian snorted coldly, confidently lying under the box.
Just as she lay down, a similarly small copper coin stopped beside her, bumping against her treasure box. Information immediately appeared in the chat group.
“Badanmu: Is that Brother Ji? Please take me in!”
The name Badanmu might not be familiar, but Chu Yian remembered Flying Zhu Shen very clearly.
She didn’t expect Zhu Shen to have cleared the previous round of the game as well.
He had some kind of buff on him.
Chu Yian hesitated for a moment, then opened the treasure box to let him hide inside as well. The copper coin excitedly hopped in front of her, and at the same time, a new message appeared in the group.
“Badanmu: Thank you, Brother Ji!”
