Shen MO didn’t have the patience to explain the whole situation concerning the prop to Tan Xiao.
However, this incident indeed fuelled his anger, disrupting all his original plans with a single gunshot.
Shen MO was a man who, due to his profession or personality, possessed a hint of heroism. He was willing to stand up for what was right, had a strong sense of responsibility, and a spirit of sacrifice greater than most people. But that did not an he was a “saint”, or soone who could stand seeing death without interference.
On the contrary, he had been to the battlefield and was able to remain calm even amongst the death of thousands. He understood the cruelty of life and death!
But what he couldn’t stand was the needless sacrifice!
It was absurd!
Those people originally had ample ti to take cover. However, because of the gunshot, they all lost control and madly ran through the mud, ending up as food for the frogs!
Their deaths were pointless and aningless, akin to the lowest level of a joke!
Life shouldn’t be like this.
The world has already beco so ridiculous due to the ergence of this puppet ga, isn’t that enough?
Shen MO really wanted to confront Zhang Hua, but found it unnecessary in the end.
The cave was filled with snails, and it was unclear to him where Zhang Hua was hiding. Even if he found Zhang Hua, it wouldn’t change the fact that there had been heavy casualties. To add to his concern, Jin Qiu could show up at any mont, and who knew what would happen in the next round.
Shen MO silently returned to Bai Youwei’s side and leaned against a snail shell without uttering a word.
Bai Youwei studied his expression and slowly said, “Suppose that the ga Zhang Hua is experiencing is the sa as ours, then the prop he has should also be the sa. As soon as the gun is fired, everyone within 10 ters of the shooter will run at full speed. The effect is influenced by the distance, environntal factors, and individual willpower. Since we are in an enclosed cave, echoes are easy to create. Hence even those beyond the 10-ter radius can be affected.’
After a pause, she complinted him, “Your willpower was admirable just now as you only ran a few steps before stopping.”
Her voice was soft, conveying a sense of intimacy and reassurance.
Shen MO glanced at her, feeling a strange sensation.
Did she seem a bit…too calm?
He knew that Bai Youwei was not like most people. She didn’t seem particularly scared during the “Tortoise and the Hare” ga, but this ti, rather than panicking, she appeared to be calm, too calm…even relaxed?
Bai Youwei suggested, “In a while, you should take shelter inside the shell. Although dealing with the frogs is a way out, it is too exhausting for you alone.
You need rest.”
Shen Mo’s gaze beca a bit profound.
On the other side, Tan Xiao continued his search, swearing under his breath and insisting on searching everyone who ca out of the snail shells.
The others joined him. They wouldn’t tolerate anyone in their group hiding a gun!
They didn’t find Zhang Hua.
Shen MO leaned against a snail shell, silently observing the chaos in front of him. After a while, he withdrew his gaze, glanced down to Bai Youwei, a shadow in his eyes.
“You know sothing,” he stated, though he phrased it as a question. He was sure that Bai Youwei was hiding sothing from him.
Bai Youwei blinked.
The muddy teen had tarnished clothes, yet her eyes remained unusually clear, like washed ink gems. Their twinkle was reminiscent of fireflies and starlight hiding in the night.
“Isn’t it obvious?” she said with a faint smile, “You have your thods, and others naturally have theirs. Zhang Hua wouldn’t fire a shot at this ti without reason. He also wants to pass the ga, just in a different way than us.”
Shen MO contemplated, “His way…is to reduce the number of people?”
Bai Youwei lifted the corner of her mouth, “To put it bluntly, a single frog can catch over 70 insects in one day, around forty to fifty people died just now on the highway. His thought may have been that if a few more people die, and the frogs are filled, he will be safe..”
