Chapter 559

~7 min read 1,311 words

The gale swept through, raging across the land.

The soundproofing of the small wooden cabin was not good; being the only building in the center of the plain, it bore the brunt of the impact without any shelter around it.

Even though the ceiling swayed slightly, the furniture inside the house remained motionless.

Su Yang had already noticed this point.

Clues could be seen from the power of Zhu Xiang's kick.

By common sense, such heavy force plus the fool's own weight would be enough to crush the table.

But the result was that the fool was injured unilaterally, and the table didn't change at all.

This also explains that staying in the safe zone is absolutely safe.

"Clang, clang!"

The loud noise brought by the impact continued, and the strong wind blew through the gaps in the wooden house, making a harsh "woo-woo" sound.

The flat-headed man looked outside through the window and was immediately stunned by the scene before him.

"The farmland and grassland... are all destroyed!"

"What?" Wang Daohui's expression changed drastically, and he immediately jumped off the bed to observe.

He saw that the ground had been scraped away by a whole layer by the gale, mud and sand were flying all over the sky, the sky turned dark brown, and visibility was less than ten meters.

The typhoon also brought heavy rain, countless raindrops poured down, like a doomsday scene; everyone in the center of the storm couldn't help but feel a sense of inexplicable powerlessness and despair.

In the face of nature, humans appear extremely small.

The trees in the distance were directly uprooted, and the violent wind was like the Grim Reaper's scythe, harvesting every visible object one by one.

The nearby small river even produced a water spout that pierced the sky and earth, and it was now aggressively heading toward the wooden house.

"If the safety coefficient doesn't reach 100%, can this hold up?" Wang Daohui's eyes showed fear.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is even more terrifying than the giant beasts in the sea.

The giant beasts would at least pick players to kill, and there was still some ability to fight back.

However, facing a natural disaster with indiscriminate attacks, there is no room for retaliation.

Because the players can't touch the culprit at all.

Cannot kill, and cannot escape.

"This is only the first day..." The woman exclaimed.

According to the nature of the death game, the level of terror will definitely rise in a straight line.

A typhoon that didn't seem very dangerous has already reached this level; what will happen later?

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't sit still.

They collectively discussed countermeasures.

"I think we don't need to hide anymore; let's report our respective identities." Wang Daohui suggested.

"Agreed, compared to internal competition, let's get through the current checkpoint first." The flat-headed man nodded.

"But..." Su Peixian held a different opinion on this, "At this stage, we cannot judge who is whose companion; who can guarantee that they will provide help to others wholeheartedly?"

It's a very simple truth.

In case a player has already found their companion, the remaining task is to cause trouble while other players are doing their tasks.

It is too disadvantageous for those who are still in the exploration stage.

"If the safety coefficient doesn't meet the standard, you won't live to see the day of internal fighting!" Wang Daohui said in a deep voice.

"That's not necessarily true, who knows." A mysterious look flashed in Su Peixian's eyes.

"Please open your eyes and take a good look at the scene outside; may I ask if everyone here has completed the mechanical ascension? Today is a typhoon, tomorrow it could be hail!" The flat-headed man said solemnly.

"Anyway, you all know my identity, and I'm not interested in your intelligence." Su Peixian said with an indifferent expression.

At this moment, several gazes turned toward Su Yang.

He spread his hands and said: "You have already guessed my identity too."

Zhu Xiang suddenly sneered.

"What are you laughing at?" Wang Daohui frowned.

"Laughing at you for being stupid, laughing at you for being clumsy, laughing at you for being ignorant." Zhu Xiang stood up slowly and said leisurely: "What can knowing each other's identities explain? The key to the problem is not on this at all."

"Do you have a better way?" The flat-headed man asked hurriedly.

"There is indeed a solution, it just depends on whether you dare." A faint light flashed in Zhu Xiang's eyes.

"Let's hear it." Su Peixian said with interest.

"The natural disaster seems fierce, but it's actually just a smokescreen." Zhu Xiang put on his shoes, walked to the dining table, sat down, and continued: "Because you and I are in the safe zone, naturally we will feel fear when we look at the scene outside with the naked eye."

"Consequently, we naturally attach importance to the safety coefficient, but have you ever thought that even if there is no safe zone outside, there is still a place to stay?"

"What do you mean? Speak clearly." Wang Daohui said.

"It's very simple, you just need to open this door and walk out to know the answer." Zhu Xiang smiled mysteriously.

"Why don't you go?" The flat-headed man questioned.

"My safety coefficient is full, there's no need to waste time." Zhu Xiang said.

"Then what's the difference between what you said and farting? Do you take us for fools?" Wang Daohui snorted coldly.

Suddenly, the fool who was playing with stones on the side was stunned, "Who called me?"

"Get lost!" Wang Daohui scolded angrily, then continued: "All of this is your speculation, baseless, and you want us to go to our deaths after making it all up; isn't your abacus a bit too sloppy?"

"To believe or not is your freedom; anyway, two people here will be expelled in a while." A smile appeared on Zhu Xiang's slightly gloomy face.

Who?

After being stunned, everyone looked at the fool in unison.

"He..." The flat-headed man's throat rolled, and he spoke with difficulty: "Didn't complete the task?"

"What do you think?" Zhu Xiang asked back.

This...

Doesn't that mean that one player here will be expelled along with him!

A 50% safety coefficient is only enough to stay in the safe zone for half the time the disaster rages.

At this moment, Su Yang looked at the clock and found that it was already two o'clock in the morning.

"Let me see who this lucky person will be." Zhu Xiang's cold eyes swept across the face of every player.

Su Yang was not panicked at all about this.

Because he was very sure that the person in his camp was the missing eighth player.

Zhu Xiang being able to say this with impunity proves that he has enough confidence to know who his teammate is.

Then only...

The woman; Su Peixian; Wang Daohui and the flat-headed man remain.

All four of these people could potentially become the targets of exile.

As the typhoon outside intensified, visibility was nearly zero.

The surging heavy rain, wrapped in strong winds, was like arrows, adding a bit more misery to the already riddled land.

The water storage capacity of the soil is limited.

And the plain they are on is low-lying, so there will be a flood soon.

"Gulp—"

I don't know who swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but Su Yang couldn't help laughing, "I think Zhu Xiang's suggestion is good; before the natural disaster reaches an unbearable level, let's go out early to seek a way to survive."

"Otherwise, when the time comes, there won't even be a chance to collect the bodies."

As soon as the voice fell, a broadcast sound suddenly rang out.

【Players Cao An and Yan Luoshu have insufficient safety coefficients.】

【'Expulsion', proceeding immediately.】
