Chapter 93: The First Player Hung on the Execution Platform

"Our identities are actually Supervisors!" A trace of unease rose in Zhao Yuxin's heart. She grabbed Zhu Zhiquan's arm and asked him urgently, "Ajiu, do you think we're the only two with these identities? If it really comes to it, let's take a detour."

Zhu Zhiquan held Zhao Yuxin tightly and said in a gentle tone, "No, we must participate! If we choose to run away the moment we sense danger, it will easily make us fall behind others!"

"If we can't become the cream of the crop among players early on, we'll have to be prepared for the fate of being bullied by other players! Besides, do you know how long a detour would take? What if the original path gets swallowed by lava? What should we do then?"

Zhao Yuxin immediately retorted, "But what if the lava doesn't swallow our path?"

Seeing that Zhao Yuxin was still a bit afraid inside, Zhu Zhiquan explained, "Then have you thought about whether we might come into conflict with other players if we meet them on the road?"

"If a conflict breaks out, can we escape before the lava swallows us? If we have to retreat back here, will the vehicle parked below be swallowed?"

"Besides, as long as we don't say anything, who would know what our identities are?"

"Furthermore, can't you create new plants? If you could create new plants that can run around, are very strong, or can expand in large numbers in a short time, wouldn't that save us a lot of trouble?"

Zhao Yuxin lowered her head, resting her entire face in Zhu Zhiquan's embrace. Her eyes kept darting around, and her breathing became heavy and slow.

Zhu Zhiquan did not intervene, only gently patting Zhao Yuxin's back.

The two were silent for a long time. At this moment, Zhao Yuxin's hands clenched and unclenched, but finally, Zhao Yuxin said to Zhu Zhiquan, "I'll listen to you."

Zhu Zhiquan nodded slightly and said to the Game System, "We confirm our participation."

Immediately, a door suddenly appeared at the stairwell behind them and closed. The Game System also responded at this time: "Very well, the current number of people is 8. Since the number has not yet reached 10, please wait patiently."

Hearing that the number of people was not yet full, Zhao Yuxin began to talk about her time in university, while Zhu Zhiquan listened patiently by her side.

Unknowingly, the door in front of them suddenly opened, followed by the system's cold voice: "The number of 10 people is full. Please, all players, enter the Dungeon."

At the same time, the system told them that a Temporary Channel had been added to their panels, specifically for communication within the Dungeon.

The two looked at each other and walked through the door hand in hand. In the blink of an eye, they arrived at a lobby. There were 8 other players in the lobby who were also participating in the Dungeon, though some were clearly there with teammates, while others were alone.

At this time, a muscular player took the lead in introducing himself: "Hello everyone, my name is Geerfu Batuo. Before entering the game, I was a fitness coach in Gaul. I assume everyone here is a Survivor, right? This is my biological brother, Leiqi Batuo."

Leiqi Batuo also nodded along, revealing a kind smile.

Next, a thin, tall man with sharp eyes stood out, "My name is Li Yu, I used to be a lawyer."

A short-haired girl beside him also introduced herself: "My name is Su Yao, I am Li Yu's partner. Before I transmigrated, I was a high school student who had just graduated."

Next was a man wearing glasses, "I am Ma Weidong. Before transmigrating, I was a ride-hailing driver. My teammate died on the first day in this world."

"What a coincidence, my teammate, Hengli Qiao, is also gone, but it happened in the previous world," a little chubby man took over the conversation.

A woman wearing a cheongsam introduced herself: "This little woman is called Jiang Yueyue. My teammate sacrificed themselves in today's monster pursuit. I ask for your kind care."

Finally, there was a Black man: "I... my name is Makusi Endiku, I am... I am a national athlete from Africa."

Zhao Yuxin introduced their own situation, while Zhu Zhiquan carefully sized up everyone's equipment and physical condition, thinking about who to strike first.

Leiqi Batuo spoke first: "What should we do now? The system requires us to decipher twenty computers to obtain the password before we can leave. God knows where that damn Supervisor will be!"

Su Yao suggested: "Why don't we split up to search? This can increase the deciphering speed and also avoid being wiped out by the Supervisor all at once!"

"That makes sense. By the way, let me give everyone a little welcome gift." Hengli Qiao took various fruits out of his spatial backpack, including durians, apples, bananas, fresh meat, and more.

Geerfu Batuo: "Oh, my friend, is one of your talents a storage space? You took out so much food all at once."

Su Yao bit her finger and said to Hengli Qiao: "Respected Mr. Qiao, may I take this piece of meat? I haven't eaten meat for nine consecutive days."

Zhao Yuxin took two durians and then bowed deeply to Hengli Qiao. Others also chose their own welcome gifts; some thanked Hengli Qiao after taking them, while others just took them directly.

After the group discussed for a while longer, they dispersed. Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin came to a hidden room. Zhao Yuxin took out the durians and drew a Plant Modification Array on the ground, preparing to create a new plant.

Zhu Zhiquan stood guard on the side, making it easier to provide cover for Zhao Yuxin if any players came by, while also observing the surrounding environment to deduce the players' escape routes.

At this time, with the talent of Supervisor's Instinct, Zhu Zhiquan could clearly see the locations of all the computers and the locations of the Execution Platforms.

Suddenly, a computer trembled slightly. Based on his long experience playing the game, Zhu Zhiquan judged that a player was currently deciphering it.

Immediately after, a second one, a third one... more and more computers began to tremble. Zhu Zhiquan turned to look at Zhao Yuxin and found that her Magic Array was still in progress. In order not to disturb her, Zhu Zhiquan sent a message and chose to take the initiative.

"Where should I start first?" Zhu Zhiquan looked at the trembling computers, and suddenly his gaze locked onto a computer that was relatively close.

"Let's start here first." Zhu Zhiquan picked up his Xuangang Spear and walked toward his target. After a few steps, Zhu Zhiquan entered a study and heard a woman's crying.

"Oh my god! Why do I need calculus to decipher the password! I can't calculate it~" Jiang Yueyue was slumped over the keyboard, completely unaware of the danger behind her.

Until Zhu Zhiquan thrust his spear into the back of her head, she remained in a daze.

"Attention, attention! A player has been killed by the Supervisor and has entered a state of Fake Death. Please rescue them before the player is eliminated by the Execution Platform!"

After Jiang Yueyue entered the state of Fake Death, the system announcement sounded across the entire game map. Upon hearing the system announcement, Zhu Zhiquan dragged Jiang Yueyue and quickly hung her on the nearest Execution Platform.

At this time, a five-minute countdown appeared on the Execution Platform. Seeing the countdown, Zhu Zhiquan immediately found a dark corner to hide in.

At the same time, Zhao Yuxin finally created the new plant, "Ajiu, you're so fast. But my new plant is finally created. What name should I give it?"

Looking at the tall, humanoid plant with wood as its main trunk, durian mixed with metal as its outer shell, and limbs made as if from withered branches, Zhao Yuxin began to ponder with her head lowered.

Suddenly, Zhao Yuxin had a flash of inspiration, "How about we call it Durian Warrior! Anyway, there are still materials, I'll make another one."

At this time, other players looked one after another at Jiang Yueyue, who was hung on the Execution Platform. Under the effect of the temporary talent—Survivor's Instinct, no matter how far away they were or how many obstacles were in between, they could all see Jiang Yueyue's blurred outline.

In the Temporary Channel, the players were discussing very heatedly.

Su Yao: "Everyone, who was just hung on the Execution Platform by the Supervisor? You scared me to death!"

Geerfu Batuo: "Not sure, let's all check in. @Everyone"

Zhao Yuxin: "I'm fine."

Leiqi Batuo: "I'm fine too."

Makusi Endiku: "+1"

………………

Soon, except for Jiang Yueyue, everyone else had spoken on the Temporary Channel. Suddenly, everyone understood that it was Jiang Yueyue who had been hung on the Execution Platform by the Supervisor.

In an instant, fear shrouded everyone's hearts.
