Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!

Chen Shou had passed by here before, and at that time he could only see one side of the screen wall.

Now, the staircase is clearly visible in front of you.

Wu Feng saw it too, Wang Kui saw it too, Old Zhao, Lin Wei, and Li Xiaowei all saw it.

"You can see it once you have ten stars."

Chen Shou said in a low voice,

"Just as I thought."

Su Ye walked to the top of the stairs and looked back at the group.

"Let's go. See you on the second floor."

He was the first to step onto the stairs.

Chen Shou is the second.

Wu Feng is the third.

Wang Kui is the fourth.

Old Zhao is the fifth one.

Lin Wei is the sixth.

Li Xiaowei is the seventh.

The seven figures disappeared one by one into the darkness at the end of the stairs.

Su Ye stood at the edge of the second-floor observation deck and looked back.

Chen Shou and the other six emerged one after another from the black mist, their faces showing the same bewilderment and shock.

"This...this is the second floor?"

Chen Shou stared wide-eyed at the huge transparent dome beneath his feet, which offered a panoramic view of the entire first floor.

Wu Feng walked to the glass curtain wall, looked down at the sparse crowd below, and remained silent.

Old Zhao leaned against the wall, panting heavily, but a smile remained on his face:

"Damn it, we're finally up here."

Lin Wei and Li Xiaowei supported each other, looking at the scattered people sitting around them with wary eyes.

Su Ye's gaze swept across the second floor.

Some people were still sitting on the sofas at the edge of the viewing platform.

Some were resting with their eyes closed, some were talking in hushed tones, and others were looking in their direction with scrutinizing and assessing eyes.

Further away, the densely packed arena grid still stretched as far as the eye could see, and the sounds of fighting could be faintly heard coming from within.

Su Ye withdrew his gaze and looked at Chen Shou and the others.

"Remember, you can't just start a fight here."

"If you want to fight, you must issue a duel challenge; otherwise, you will be eliminated by the rules."

Chen Shou nodded and kept the words in mind.

Su Ye then looked at the group of people gathered in the distance.

"Over there are people who have been invaded by a strange entity."

They can use the power of sequences, don't mess with them.

Then he pointed to the other side, to the ordinary people sitting scattered about.

"Those came up normally, just like us."

Finally, his gaze fell on a familiar figure in the distance.

Zhou Lie.

He stood at the entrance of a gladiator square, seemingly looking at something.

Just as Su Ye was about to say something, a sudden vibration came from the bracelet.

He looked down, his pupils contracting slightly.

The number of stars is fluctuating; over three hundred stars are rapidly decreasing.

Three hundred...two hundred and fifty...two hundred...

half.

More than 150 stars transformed into streams of light, flying out of his bracelet and drifting towards that familiar figure in the distance.

At the same time, the wristbands of Chen Shou, Wu Feng, Wang Kui, Lao Zhaotou, Lin Wei, and Li Xiaowei also lit up simultaneously.

Six streams of light flew out of their wristbands almost simultaneously, merging with Su Ye's and heading towards Zhou Lie's direction.

Chen Shou was stunned:

"What... what's going on?"

He looked down at his bracelet. Before going upstairs, he had fifty-eight bracelets. He used ten to go upstairs, leaving him with forty-eight. Now, the forty-eight had become twenty-four.

Wu Feng: There were 61 before going upstairs, 10 were spent going upstairs, leaving 51, and now it has become 25.

Wang Kui: There were 57 before going upstairs, 10 were used upstairs, leaving 47, and now there are 23.

Old Zhao: There were 53 before going upstairs, 10 were used upstairs, leaving 43, and now there are 21.

Lin Wei: There were 52 before going upstairs, 10 were used upstairs, leaving 42, and now there are 21.

Li Xiaowei: There were 51 pills before going upstairs, 10 pills were used upstairs, leaving 41 pills, and now there are 20 pills left.

Everyone's stars have been reduced by half.

Chen Shou suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction where the streaks of light had flown, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

"That's... Zhou Lie?"

Wu Feng didn't speak, he just stared intently in that direction.

His face was pale, his fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles were white.

Old Zhao's face contorted in pain:

"Damn it, half of the stars I painstakingly collected have flown away like this?"

"It cost ten to go upstairs, and now half of them are gone..."

Lin Wei clutched her abdominal wound, her face pale.

"These are... the rules for the Initiators?"

Su Ye nodded, her voice calm:

"The one who opens the gate receives half the stars of all those who come through him."

My initiator was Zhou Lie, and so were yours.

Chen Shouyi was taken aback:

"Us too?"

"Of course, we all came in through the clock tower."

Su Ye looked at Wu Feng:

"From the moment we entered this game, we all came in 'through him'."

Wu Feng fell silent.

He stared at the figure in the distance, his expression extremely complex.

Two or three months.

How many life-and-death situations have they faced together since the apocalypse?

How many times have they narrowly escaped death, fought back-to-back battles, and supported each other in dire straits?

He thought they were comrades-in-arms.

He thought that person was someone he could entrust his life to.

But now...

The streaks of light disappeared into Zhou Lie's wristband.

Even from this distance, Wu Feng could imagine Zhou Lie's expression at that moment, those eyes pulsating with blood-red flames, and that wicked smile.

I don't believe it.

Wu Feng suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse.

"I don't believe he was like that from the beginning... He saved me, he saved Wang Kui, he saved so many people in the convoy..."

Wang Kui said in a deep voice from the side:

"Brother Feng, I don't believe it either. But those stars..."

He didn't continue.

Su Ye glanced at them but didn't say anything.

Some things they need to face on their own.

Chen Shou sighed and patted Wu Feng on the shoulder:

"Let's go. Let's ask them."

Wu Feng raised his head and looked at him.

Chen Shou smiled wryly:

"I feel sorry for those stars too. But since we're already here, we have to figure out what happened."

Old Zhao nodded in agreement:

"Yeah, damn it, even if I die, I want to die knowing why."

Lin Wei and Li Xiaowei didn't speak, but they both stood up straight and looked in that direction.

Su Ye withdrew her gaze and walked towards Zhou Lie.

"Walk."

The seven people crossed the viewing platform and headed towards the Colosseum grid.

Along the way, they passed by groups of people sitting scattered about.

Someone looked up at them, their gaze sweeping over them before quickly looking away.

People were talking in hushed tones, and you could vaguely hear phrases like "newcomers" and "another batch has come up."

Su Ye ignored them and walked straight towards Zhou Lie.

The figure was getting closer and closer.

Finally, Su Ye stopped when she was twenty meters away.

Zhou Lie turned around.

The blood flames in his eyes throbbed even more violently than before, and he grinned.

"Oh, everyone's up here?"

His tone was flippant, his gaze sweeping over the group before finally settling on Su Ye's face.

"We meet again."
