The people in the carriage watched the show in silence.

Chu Yunxiu punched and kicked Chen Nuannuan, leaving her face covered in bruises.

The latter scratched the former's face with his fingernails, leaving several clear bloody marks that looked like earthworms.

He Tian wept bitterly, "Don't vote for me! I have a ninety-year-old mother waiting for me at home. My son died young, my daughter-in-law ran away, and my grandson is only five years old. My family can't be without me."

"Please, please vote for someone else, this old man really doesn't want to die—"

Zhuang Yu watched this scene with cold eyes.

Actually, you don't need anyone to die to clear the first stage.

'Instances' never forcibly kill anyone; there is no situation where certain death is inevitable.

The "scapegoat" vote can actually be cast for someone outside the train's storyline.

For example, if more than half of the people in the carriage know what a celebrity looks like, they can vote.

Since the scapegoat is not in the instance, the rules do not apply to them, and they will not die afterward.

Actually, if everyone calms down and thinks about it, it's quite easy to see this point.

But the arrival of the apocalypse overwhelmed them; their minds were filled with thoughts of how to survive, while the rules made it clear that to survive, they had to vote for others and let them die.

Reason was suppressed by the fear of death, and the people's goal became to find a 'scapegoat' to die in their place!

"I can save all of you, but..."

"You are not worthy."

Zhuang Yu's eyes reflected the crowd; every single one of them deserved to die!

In his previous life, he was severely injured by evil spirits while trying to save them. As a result, he was targeted by Zhang Chenghu and his gang when the gods bestowed blessings upon him.

Not only were their divine blessings taken away, but they even wanted to eliminate them completely.

And those people, those he saved, just stood by and watched coldly!

He Tian, ​​who was supposed to die during the voting stage but was saved by him, later sided with Zhang Chenghu, hoping to get a share of the spoils.

These people deserve to die!

No, except for one person.

Zhuang Yu found a middle-aged man in the crowd. He was the only one who stepped forward and stopped Zhang Chenghu and his men from killing him.

Unfortunately, he didn't make it out of the train instance alive.

I owe you a favor.

Zhuang Yu adheres to the principle of repaying kindness with kindness and repaying grievances with grievances. Those who harmed him are destined not to leave this place alive!

He will find a way to repay the kindness shown to him by those who have done him a favor.

Just then, Zhuang Yu saw the middle-aged man step forward: "Everyone, please wait a moment."

When everyone looked at him, he continued, "I have late-stage liver cancer. The doctor said I only have three months left. I want to die meaningfully."

"Everyone, please vote for me."

He Tian, ​​as if grasping at a straw, got up from the ground and pointed at the middle-aged man: "Did everyone hear that? This young man won't live much longer, everyone vote for him!"

The crowd fell silent, while Hu Junhai simply smiled.

He didn't care about He Tian's attitude. The reason he stood up was that he didn't want people to feel guilty for killing someone.

After being diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer, he thought about it for a very long time.

I think about the meaning of my life, what will happen to my wife and children in the future, and whether my parents will be able to live well on their pensions after I die...

Even now, he still can't understand it, but if he can exchange his life for everyone's peace of mind, then he can consider it a worthy death.

However, he still couldn't let go of his family.

"Mom and Dad, wife, I'm sorry, I can't go back."

He pleaded with people to lend a helping hand if they ever encountered his family members in the future.

Everyone silently agreed, while He Tian urged them on, "Time is running out, everyone vote for him quickly, vote now!"

He Tian was overjoyed to see Hu Junhai's name appear on the screen and the number of votes steadily increasing.

The previous look of despair and hopelessness seemed to have never appeared.

"coward."

Just then, an untimely voice drew everyone's attention.

Zhuang Yu stood deep inside, her tone icy: "It's the end of the world, and you still expect complete strangers to save your family? You're a cowardly idiot deceiving yourself!"

"Three months is enough time for you to go home and settle your family before you die, but you pinned your hopes on someone else, just to save a disgraceful old man!"

Hu Junhai trembled from the scolding, but Zhuang Yu did not stop.

"The apocalypse has come true, haven't you ever thought that clearing the 'dungeon' might yield a reward that could maybe cure your liver cancer?"

"If you have the courage to die, why be afraid to leave alive?!"

Whether Zhuang Yu's words woke Hu Junhai up or not, it's unknown.

Anyway, He Tian was woken up by the scolding.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you brat!"

No one in the carriage was more anxious than He Tian. He rushed towards Zhuang Yu, raising his fist: "This young man meant well, how dare you insult him!"

Upon arriving, Zhuang Yu's tall figure did not intimidate He Tian, ​​who probably thought he wouldn't dare to fight back.

But he was clearly wrong.

puff!

A punch landed on his stomach, and He Tian instantly collapsed to his knees, hunched over, and dry heaved, like a shrimp whose vein had been removed.

Zhuang Yu didn't stop. One punch was He Tian's limit, far from his own!

He kicked him in the shoulder, sending him flying half a meter before he landed on the back of his head, a sight that made the hearts of the others tremble.

"An old man has been assaulted! An old man has been assaulted! Cough cough, help me!"

"I hit you, so what?"

Zhuang Yu stepped on He Tian's head and faced the crowd: "Do you want to kill a kind person with your own hands, or send scum to hell? Think it through."

He Tian grabbed Zhuang Yu's ankle and pleaded, "Young man, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me."

"I'll return your things to you. I don't want your money back, and I'll return your bag and suitcase as well."

Zhuang Yu laughed upon hearing this: "Consider those things your burial goods."

"Also, you don't know you're wrong, you just know you're about to die."

With a final kick, He Tian vomited bile. Zhuang Yu said with disgust, "Get lost if you don't want to keep getting beaten up."

He Tian crawled out shakily, using both his hands and feet, afraid that Zhuang Yu would hit him.

However, when he looked at the screen above, Hu Junhai, who had been close to him in votes, was now more than ten votes behind!

[He Tian: 32]

[Hu Junhai: 11]

[Chu Yunxiu: 1]

"No, no!!"

He Tian knelt down and kowtowed to the crowd: "Please, everyone, have some compassion. I'm an old man, and all I want is to enjoy my old age."

"This young man doesn't have long to live, please vote for him, I beg you."

He knelt and crawled before Hu Junhai: "Young man, say something! Save this old man!"

Hu Junhai's expression changed, but he eventually pried He Tian's hand away and turned his head away.

"I'm sorry, sir, there are fewer than 60 people in the carriage. Even if everyone else voted for me, I still wouldn't have as many votes as you."

He Tian felt as if the sky had fallen.

He lost all his strength in an instant and fell to the ground, his crotch soaked.

With the countdown nearing zero, the remaining people cast all their votes for He Tian.

The regulator clapped his hands: "Very good, the 'scapegoat' has been chosen. He Tian, ​​who received the most votes, will be punished."

Its tone suddenly rose: "Next, we will activate the third rule. You can check it out yourself by opening the system panel."
