Apocalyptic Extraordinary Convoy, I'm really not weird!
Chapter 77 "Restore Youth"
As the man finished speaking, the entire hall fell into absolute silence, as if unable to process these crazy and cruel rules.
Immediately after
"Whoosh—!!!"
Like ice water splashed with boiling oil, a tremendous uproar and clamor exploded!
Terrified screams, angry roars, ecstatic shouts, desperate cries, and a rapid chorus of calls for alliances or coercion mingled together, instantly transforming the luxurious hall into the most primitive and frenzied arena!
Su Ye, Chen Shou, Wu Feng, and the other three quickly formed a circle back to back, warily scanning the crowd around them, which had suddenly become dangerous and chaotic.
Chen Shou's voice was extremely low, yet it conveyed an almost vacuum-like tension:
"I can't sense the power of sequence within me at all."
He opened his hand, and four stars emitting a soft glow appeared in his palm.
"Four stars. That's all I have."
Chen Shou smiled bitterly, a hint of self-mockery in his smile.
"Perception sequence, second order, life, health... all together, it's worth four stars."
Lin Wei's face was a little pale. She clenched her fists and then relaxed them, feeling only the weakness of an ordinary person at her fingertips.
"My sequence is the same, and the physical enhancements it brought have also disappeared. I'm just an ordinary person now."
Then he opened his hand, and three stars appeared to float in the air.
Old Zhao also showed off his mark: "Three stars."
Tier 1, Life, Health... Exchange for three stars.
Even for elderly lives, even for..., the fairness is chilling.
Wang Kui also opened his hand, and the "four stars" in his palm looked particularly exquisite, and also particularly ironic.
Wu Feng silently spread his hands, "Six stars," a third-tier guide, life, health—six stars.
This is all the chips he has in this casino.
But these six stars are just cold numbers; they can't replace the fear he felt when he couldn't sense the power of the sequence.
Two stars
Li Xiaowei hesitantly opened her hands, then quickly closed them again. She lowered her head, her trembling barely suppressed.
"I...only have two stars."
She instinctively moved closer to Su Ye, as if seeking some kind of protection.
"I am an ordinary person, without any hierarchy, only life and health."
Finally, there's Su Ye.
He extended his right hand, palm facing up.
Four stars emerged, quietly hovering a few inches above the palm of your hand, their light warm and gentle.
Life, health, second-order [alternative] sequence.
In total, four stars.
The rules apply equally to everyone.
But only he knew that it wasn't right.
Just as the rules descended, transforming his life, health, and the strange source power belonging to the sequence into four stars, the strange power stored within his body surged forth.
The power of the strange is not part of the power of sequence, so the rules only extract the power of the strange source that belongs to the power of sequence, without affecting the power of the strange.
As for the essence of the "alien body," those black and red intertwined tentacles remained intact within his body, releasing a strange power that restored his strange source power.
The rules stripped him of his second order.
But it did not strip away his "alien" nature.
Su Ye lowered his eyes. He didn't say anything, at least not now.
But when he looked up and met Chen Shou's gaze, he nodded almost imperceptibly.
Chen Shou didn't press further; perhaps he had already guessed something!
Old Zhao scratched the back of his head irritably and broke the silence in a low voice:
"Alright, is this some kind of misery contest? What are we supposed to do?"
Chen Shou's gaze fell on the four stars in his palm, then swept over the six people around him.
Wu Feng, Wang Kui, Old Zhao, Lin Wei, Li Xiaowei, and the silent Su Ye.
Seven people, ranging from ordinary people to first-tier, second-tier, and third-tier individuals, are now standing on the same overturned deck.
"The problem now is..."
Chen Shou withdrew his gaze, lowering his voice even further.
"The cards we're dealt are perfectly even."
He quickly glanced around to make sure no one could hear their conversation before continuing:
"Each person has fifteen cards, five for scissors, five for rock, and five for paper."
This means that if we pair up internally, we can completely deplete all our cards through the game.
Old Zhao's eyes lit up:
"yes!
Two people form a team. You play rock, I play scissors. You win one round, I win the next. After fifteen rounds, the cards are all gone, but the stars are still untouched!
Wang Kui also realized what was happening, his tone filled with excitement:
"Wouldn't that guarantee a pass?"
These rules sound scary, but with seven of us working together, we don't need to gamble with strangers at all!
Lin Wei didn't respond. She calmly scanned everyone present, especially Wu Feng, and slowly said:
"Theoretically, that's correct."
She deliberately emphasized the words "in theory".
Wu Feng's brow twitched almost imperceptibly.
Old Zhao's excitement quickly cooled. He looked at Wu Feng, then at Chen Shou, and said nothing more.
Chen Shou did not avoid Wu Feng's gaze. He looked directly at him, his tone calm, yet carrying an undercurrent of scrutiny:
"Team Leader Wu, you are at level three, and you have the most stars, six."
This is a great "asset".
Wu Feng's expression remained unchanged. He did not rush to defend himself, nor did he show any anger at being offended.
Seeing that Wu Feng's expression remained unchanged, Chen Shou continued:
"We haven't known each other for very long, but we have had some collaborations."
In this place, we are the only people we can trust.
"Captain Wu, what do you have to say?"
Wu Feng remained silent for a long time. He looked at the six stars in his palm, then at Chen Shou's four stars, Su Ye's four stars, Lin Wei and Old Zhao's three stars, and Li Xiaowei's two stars, before raising his head:
"...I have one condition."
"explain."
"Zhou Lie has not been found yet."
Wu Feng's voice was somewhat strained.
"If he shows up here later, I'll bring him into the game."
After a moment of silence, Chen Shou spoke again:
"Can!
However, we currently have seven people, but without Zhou Lie joining, there will eventually be an odd number.
Then someone definitely needs to go out and engage in a 'game' with the others.
And that can lead to unexpected problems.
He paused, his gaze falling on the four stars in his palm:
"Therefore, we need to think of other methods."
Old Zhao sighed, then spread his hand out in front of everyone, and the three stars floated quietly:
"Team Leader Chen!"
Three stars. This is what I traded for my old life, these old bones, and that first-tier sequence.
He gave a self-deprecating twitch at the corner of his mouth.
"But as you can see, at my age and in my health, how much longer can I keep up with the convoy?"
He raised his head, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the group, making no attempt to conceal their yearning to "live":
I'll just say it straight.
I want to switch to the "Restore Youth" one.
The rules say one star is enough.
He didn't say anything more, but his meaning was clear enough: he wanted to go from three stars to four stars, he wanted to win one more star.
