Chapter 5 As a 'Spectator'
It's like the bell ringing when the dishes are served.
Crisp and pleasant.
Then, a hole that was 40 centimeters long but no more than 5 centimeters high appeared on the side of the apartment wall. Then, a plate was pushed out, and then, supported by the connecting shaft, it slowly fell to the ground.
Jason glanced at the opening in the wall.
Obviously, this was specially made to prevent the people living here from escaping.
Judging from the supporting bearings, the walls of this apartment should be filled with extremely precise machines.
The role of it is not only to prevent the people here from escaping.
There must be others!
E.g--
Kill the people who live in it!
"Double insurance?"
Jason thought to himself, but his eyes turned to the plate.
Pieces of black rectangular food are neatly stacked on it.
On the surface, it looks a bit like chocolate.
However, there is no chocolate aroma.
After Jason smelled it, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. After chewing it, Jason's brows were completely wrinkled.
no taste!
Neither sweet nor salty.
There is no other taste.
It tastes more like eating a bar of soap.
After just one mouthful, Jason had a hard to swallow feeling.
Still, it's nutritious!
Likewise, after taking a bite, Jason identified the nutrients in it.
The piece in his hand is enough for an adult man for a day.
And on the plate in front of you,
There are 10 full.
A strong body requires more nutrition.
Undoubtedly, the organizers of the 'game' are well aware of this.
So, they did it.
However, the organizer of the 'game' did not have any kindness. Jason clicked on the 'paid menu' on the handheld computer, and more than 200 dishes of today's dishes appeared on the screen.
Every dish is illustrated.
Not only the cooking process, but also the origin of the materials, and even the chef's comments.
Suddenly, Jason's saliva began to secrete.
Especially when looking at the price of each dish, this secretion becomes more and more exuberant.
Hard dishes like roasted whole beef require 1 point.
Free side dishes and scones are also provided.
Similar to a 3kg vegetable salad with beef, tuna and no less than five eggs, basically the points are 0.01 and the like, and also marked in brackets, you can get 5 copies.
"The minimum point amount is 0.01."
"Points are more valuable than expected."
Jason thought as he swallowed the free meal in his hand.
Unpalatable is unpalatable, but that doesn't mean you can't eat it.
One piece is an adult's daily nutritional needs.
This is a big attraction for Jason.
The reason why ordinary food is nothing more than improving satiety is that it is not nutritious enough.
When he was training against Arras in 'Angcheng' before, a lot of protein energy bars made him overeat.
And now?
It's a similar situation.
As long as he eats enough nutritious meals, he can get satiety.
Perhaps very little.
Maybe no taste.
But, it's free!
That's enough for Jason.
"Taste comes first. Patience at this moment is just for better tasting later."
Jason hypnotized himself.
Then, I picked up the nutritious meal, threw it into my mouth piece by piece, and placed the order again.
Ding!
The bell rang, and when Jason was serving, he clicked on the virtual buttons for 'life' except 'food' on the PDA.

...
Jason's eyes swept from top to bottom.
"Cyborg life?"
"What does that look like?"
Jason thought for a moment.
It's a pity that only the pay button came out, there was no detailed introduction, and there was no food with pictures and texts.
Bad review!
Still the food is sincere.
As for pets?
Jason swept over silently.
Although he didn't know why the cat's cat food had to be chosen and paid extra.
However, he knew he was not suitable for pets.
The ordinary is not suitable, and the special is not suitable.
He is a little interested in fitness equipment.
However, before the actual consumption, Jason clicked on the TV option to pay.
He needs information about the world.
A networked TV is just right.
Credits: 60-1.
Credits: 59.
After such a prompt appeared on the computer screen, one side of the wall was flipped over, and a 100-inch TV appeared there.
The remote control is on the table.
Jason picked up the remote and turned on the TV.
Suddenly, a slightly familiar information module began to appear——
"A super newcomer has appeared in the F-1 district!"
"The beginning and end of the super rookie 'Jason'!"
"Will this be another 'Wild Hunter' rising?"
"After the accident, what should the survivors do?"
...
Modules vary in size and have both a title and a screen.
Jason skipped a lot of title screens, and finally, his eyes stopped on the module of 'Where should the survivors go'.
He directly clicked to select.
...
As a lumberjack, Jia Lun's family is not wealthy. He works diligently every day, and can only feed himself and his mother. If he encounters a forest break, he will be a guest porter and a supermarket. Night shift workers, etc. to make ends meet.
Fortunately, life is difficult, but there is hope.
He has received a 'community recommendation'.
He can go to adult university.
Although not as good as college in the true sense, after only two years, he will be able to get a better job with more salary to make himself and his mother a better life.
Or to be more precise, he wished his mother a better life.
Like many children, he did not know who his father was since he was a child, and his mother was his only support.
The one who supports him the most.
Whatever choice he makes, his mother supports him.
When he was a child, he lived frugally and allowed him to receive the most basic education.
Let him read and count.
Being a lumberjack, my mother was also working odd jobs.
When he went to work in the supermarket, his mother would go to the restaurant to wash the dishes.
When he went to study, his mother knitted sweaters.
There is not too much rebuke, there are only words and deeds.
Karen has always considered her mother to be the best mother in the world.
Although he is not rich.
But his mother has given him the best.
Then, why is he not working hard?
He worked hard.
He moves on.
When he got a 'community recommendation', he ran home to tell his mother the good news.
but……
car accident!
The sudden car accident left his mother seriously injured and hospitalized.
The high cost of treatment is something he cannot afford anyway.
But just give up?
Do you just watch your mother die?
Karen couldn't accept it either.
So, he knelt down and begged the doctor for a few days of grace.
Then, he signed up.
Sign up for 'The Game'!
Preliminary!
As long as you win the preliminary round, you will have 100w!
100w can cure his mother.
After participating with other "Survivors" who had various reasons but the same purpose, after leaving the base, Karen did not start to run blindly like other "Survivors".
There's no use in doing this other than physical exertion.
He observed the Survivor base behind him, and then looked towards the opposite side.
Although it can't be seen clearly, the base of the Furious should be there.
The 'escape door' is likely to be between the two or at the corners of the four sides.
This is the conclusion he came to after watching hundreds of 'game' videos.
Although the map has been changing, the core of the 'game' will not change.
The 'game' is not hide and seek.
It's a confrontation!
It's a battle of wits!
It's a fight between 'Furious' and 'Survivor'!
This is the core of the 'game'.
It's also what the 'audience' likes to see.
"The 'introducer' said that this is a new map. In the 6 'new maps' that appeared before, the number of times the 'escape door' appeared in the middle was 4 times, and it appeared in the corners 2 times!"
"Before the 'audience' on the Internet has been saying that they have been in the middle too many times, then according to the 'dramatic' idea planned by the 'game', this time it will still be in the middle position with a high probability!"
Karen thought about it, and strode towards the middle position.
He couldn't bear to memorize dozens of maps for himself without using them, and felt powerless.
Now he just wants to find the 'escape door' quickly.
As for the fight against the 'Murderer'?
He's strong, but he doesn't think he can fight the non-humans.
The introduction of "Rager" played before made him know that he is not an opponent.
Therefore, he turned down invitations from several groups of 'survivors'.
He will not stop these 'survivors' who have other ideas.
But he definitely won't join.
Although as long as one survivor finds the "escape door" and enters it smoothly, it means that all the "survivors" will win, but at this time, Jia Lun believes in himself more.
Time passed minute by minute.
The strong body that has been exercised by logging for a long time has already felt tired at this time.
Whoosh, whoosh.
After walking for more than two hours, Jia Lun had to stop and rest.
He swallowed, moistening his dry throat.
Then, he began to look at the grass in front of him.
He hoped to find something like a cellar.
Because that represents 'hope for escape'.
Why did the 'game planner' design the 'escape door' to look like a cellar?
Karen doesn't know.
Maybe what is the meaning?
Maybe pure bad taste?
He totally didn't know.
He just knows!
A cellar is just around the corner!
Looking at the cellar door hidden in the dense weeds, Karen's face was filled with surprise that could no longer be contained.
victory!
100w!
Treat the mother!
This thought made his body full of vitality again.
He ran straight to the cellar door.
Three steps!
Two steps!
step!
Just as Karen's fingers were about to touch the cellar door—
"The 'Wild Hunter' winner appears!"
"The 'Wild Hunter' winner appears!"
"Let's cheer for 'Jason' who hunted three 'Wild Hunters'!"
"He must be the most eye-catching 'Wild Hunter' in this competition!"
...
The loud voice echoed in the sky, and the ecstatic expression on Karen's face froze.
'Wild Hunter' hunting 'Wild Hunter'?
Such a thing is not impossible, but the probability is extremely small.
Not to mention that it is to complete one pass and three, and directly win.
In the data he has collected, such things are almost ignored, especially when there is a "newbie Wild Hunter".
Of course, the most important thing is that the rules of the 'game' will change once a 'Wild Hunter' completes one pass and three wins in this alternative way.
'Survivor' is no longer 'Survivor'!
Rather...
Survivor!
Kill the people around you and get enough points for 'survivors'!
This is marked in the data he checked.
And then, a voice from the sky confirmed this.
"Game changer!"
"Game changer!"
"Game changer!"
"Attention all 'survivors', after 30 seconds, you will become 'survivors', you will be able to attack each other, you can get points by killing each other, 10 points will represent your victory!"
"Attention all 'Survivors'..."
After three consecutive announcements.
All the 'survivors' who were gearing up to wait, or hiding in fear and escaping, were stunned.
Then, they looked at each other.
The last moment, their expressions were as friendly as they should be when working together.
At this moment, the eyes they looked at each other were hideous and malicious.
The change came so suddenly!
Caught off guard?
A little.
However, more of it is to strike first!
"what!"
A scream.
The captain who had just invited Jia Lun to form a team smashed a cobblestone on the back of a player's head with his hand.
boom!
Blood splattered his face.
Under the scarlet red, the ferocious is full of terror.
But then there was astonishment.
puff!
A pitchfork penetrated his throat.
The pitchfork was in the hands of another player.
The player was then hugged by another player and fell to the ground.
One kills the other.
One was killed by the other.
One by one.
The previously silent wilderness turned into purgatory in an instant.
The bloody scene made the 'audience' boil.
"Come on! Fuck him!"
"Bite him! Bite him!"
"Fight back! Fight back!"
...
All the 'audiences' seemed to be in the arena, each and everyone roaring loudly stimulated by blood.
The onlookers were extremely excited.
Participants, gradually lose their rationality.
Karen is an exception.
As early as the sound echoed in the sky, he climbed down and hid.
He knew that this time was the most chaotic.
Once discovered, it is immortal.
He needs to get through this time period.
Then, then...
Sorry, Mom.
Your son is about to sin.
Please forgive me.
Karen knew exactly what he was going to do next.
Almost subconsciously, he prayed to his mother.
At this time, he did not see a figure getting closer and closer to him.
until his neck was strangled.
Jia Lun was crawling on the ground, and the moment his neck was strangled, he wanted to turn over and struggle, but the attacker's legs and knees pressed firmly against his waist, making him useless at all.
Obviously, the opponent has certain fighting skills.
Gradually, Karen's consciousness began to blur.
"This 'Escaper' is also a vase."
"Yeah, I'm already looking forward to it."
"He performed very well before, who would have known such a poor melee combat ability."
"What's wrong with this, it's completely vulnerable."
"Yes! That muscle must have come from protein powder!"
"If he is like this, I can do it too."
"+1!"
"+2!"
"+3!"
...
When Jia Lun was about to find the 'escape door', a considerable number of people gathered in his live broadcast room.
Before, when Karen was about to touch the 'escape door', these 'audiences' were full of praise.
Now, it is a pair of disdain, and even full of malice.
This made Jason, who was also watching, frown.
However, there is nothing to be done.
He doesn't have the ability to hit people along the line.
The disgust in his heart made Jason prepare to change a channel.
But at this moment, an option suddenly appeared at the bottom of his screen.
Yes/No to help 'survivors' -
Lighter: 1 point.
