Chapter 689

"It would be best to get out of here as soon as possible."

……

With two small carts as the core, the five teams struggled with all their might to move forward, finally leaving the rain curtain area.

"It's about five kilometers, I'd say."

"I'm exhausted. Ingredients really do get heavier."

"This Eerie Game is a scam."

"Good thing we have the carts, otherwise we couldn't have moved this fast at all."

At the very least, they were moving much, much faster now than they would have been without the carts.

Otherwise, that last stretch would have cost them at least twice as much time, if not more.

After exiting the rain curtain area and resting for a while, the group set off again.

Items on the side of the road caught their attention.

"Chicken bones."

"A campfire, not yet completely extinguished."

"This is cotton candy, sweet and sugary. Where did this come from?"

……

The group was bewildered.

Where did the chicken come from?

There were chickens here to catch, and the players ahead still had the leisure to roast chicken?

What kind of joke is this?

Could it be that the players ahead took the things out of the bags to eat and even discarded so much?

Did they not want to clear the level anymore?

'Thump, thump, thump...'

Soon, strange noises rang out.

It was as if something had been added inside the sack, vibrating constantly and making clashing sounds.

"What's going on? When did a living creature get in there?"

……

After opening it,

A duck flew out.

"A duck."

"A live duck..."

"Catch it!"

Several players scrambled in a panic, but in the end, they managed to catch it.

They also discovered that this duck was growing larger, and besides this duck, another sack contained a snake; this snake was growing at a quite rapid pace.

"These ingredients can all grow rapidly. If they keep growing, what are we going to do?"

Kill them!

But after killing them, the bodies still had to be brought to the finish line; these were ingredients.

However, after walking for a short while, an old player thought of the traces left behind by the players ahead that they had encountered earlier.

There was an old player, Ling, ahead of them.

Were those things left behind by him?

"Dump them. We'll only keep a little bit of the ingredients; most of the rest we'll either eat or discard. We need to reduce our burden to reach the finish line."

"But didn't the organizers say that the precious ingredients couldn't have any issues?"

"Do the organizers even know what the ingredients inside are?"

"Of course they do; they prepared them all."

But after answering, this player immediately thought of something.

"They can't be sure."

"Right, the chicken bones and campfire left behind earlier must have been Ling. He must have realized this point, so he reduced his burden to move forward."

Why hadn't they thought of that sooner!

What a loss!

"Speed up!"

The other groups hesitated, but after thinking about it, they also gave up the extra, heavy ingredients. If they forced themselves to carry the growing food forward, it would only cost them more time.

It was time to make a gamble.

There was one hour and 11 minutes left until the end.

Lin Ye, Leng Shuang, and Nakiri Erina's Group 26 finally reached the target finish line.
