Chapter 1859: Chapter 1704: Escape Game 56
This tunnel is not only silent but also so dark that one can’t see anyone. If not for holding Chi Qing and Lin Yu’s hands, Miao Shuangshuang would even feel like she’s walking alone in the tunnel.
"Chi Qing, Lin Yu."
Miao Shuangshuang cautiously called out the names of Chi Qing and Lin Yu, but as expected, there was no response, not even the sound of her voice going out. It seemed as if it was muffled in her own mouth.
The tunnel is long, pitch black in front with no human shadow in sight, and equally dark behind. Miao Shuangshuang could feel the palms of Chi Qing and Lin Yu in her hands becoming somewhat slippery, sweating from nervousness.
Even though it’s just the tunnel leading to Escape Killing Paradise, who knows if the danger starts here. You can’t hear sounds or see people, and even using a Bright Vision Talisman is ineffective.
Under these circumstances, it’s really hard to avoid danger should it arise. Also, with such a high mortality rate in Escape Killing Paradise, it’s truly difficult to believe that this tunnel won’t pose any threat.
Miao Shuangshuang tightened her grip on the two’s hands reassuringly, tensed her nerves, and continued to move forward with full vigilance.
The three walked through the tunnel for an unknown duration until the dense blackness suddenly vanished, and they appeared in a bustling city.
After Miao Shuangshuang, Chi Qing, and Lin Yu emerged from the tunnel, there were players continuously coming out from behind them. It took three to four minutes before the stream of players ceased.
Miao Shuangshuang roughly estimated that there were no less than two hundred players entering this paradise, meaning that two hundred players were previously moving through the tunnel simultaneously.
Now, all players looked bewildered at the scene before them. It’s not surprising they are puzzled; even Miao Shuangshuang felt a bit confused, because this place seems utterly normal.
Cars and pedestrians are bustling, high-rises tower, it’s just a lively scene in a modern city, without any trace of the bizarre. Someone uninformed might think they’ve returned to the real world.
The only strange thing about here might be this large group of players suddenly appearing and the dark tunnel entrance behind, yet no one feels curious, or even looks at it.
Chi Qing observed the usual scenes common in a familiar urban setting but didn’t feel any relaxation. Instead, he troubledly said, "What exactly is this game for? How do we clear it? No tips given."
Chi Qing’s voice had barely dropped when the game’s notification sounded: "Welcome everyone to this Escape Killing Paradise, called Death God’s Playground.
In this game, all player items are disabled, and body enhancements provided by the game will be revoked.
Players must survive with ordinary physical fitness in this paradise for three days, successfully evading the Death God’s malevolence to clear the game. Enjoy your gaming experience here."
As soon as the game prompt concluded, Miao Shuangshuang immediately sensed her weapon space, which indeed couldn’t be used. As for the withdrawal of body enhancement points, Miao Shuangshuang felt nothing.
Miao Shuangshuang’s current strength relies entirely on her own cultivation; she has never used the game’s body enhancement points, so she naturally felt nothing now.
Though Lin Yu and Chi Qing had their body enhancements taken by the game, the two had diligently trained in martial arts together with Miao Shuangshuang for half a year.
Thus, even though they felt their bodies suddenly became much heavier, it was still manageable. Their previous martial arts training wasn’t in vain; their physical fitness still far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Chi Qing clicked his tongue in surprise, "This game is really cunning, isn’t it? It’s sincerely trying to get people killed. So, Sister Shuangshuang, how are you? Did you get affected?"
Miao Shuangshuang shook her head, "Not at all. I never use the game’s body enhancement points, so my current physical fitness is still the same, unchanged."
Chi Qing instantly breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness. If Sister Shuangshuang’s combat ability weakened too, us three attempting to clear it would have been difficult."
Although Lin Yu was somewhat disappointed, he was still okay, just a bit aggrieved, "If I had known the game’s enhancements would be revoked, I should’ve utilized survival time for my own cultivation."
"That way, even if the game takes away items and body enhancements, we wouldn’t be caught so off guard."
Miao Shuangshuang shook her head, "Enhancement points must be used. Using them makes the body more agile, resulting in martial training effects much stronger than those of ordinary people."
Miao Shuangshuang persisted in not using game enhancements for herself, worried about such moments where the game revokes body enhancements. It’s also because her body has been strengthened by Main God’s Power.
The Main God’s Power is extremely mighty; even the slightest trace is incomparable to the game’s rudimentary enhancement methods. The game can no longer enhance her physical fitness.
Miao Shuangshuang, Chi Qing, and Lin Yu, since they didn’t become truly powerless ordinary people, were in good spirits and not overly tense.
Other players, upon feeling their body enhancements suddenly vanish and their items disabled, immediately panicked, even many veteran players lost their cool.
Most players were frantically turning in circles, loudly cursing the game for deceiving them.
Two younger, less-experienced players broke down crying, worsening the mood of veteran players, who scolded them repeatedly.
The higher level the player, the more they relied on game-provided items. Once those items were gone, they lacked a calm demeanor, making them essentially no different from newbies.
A few calm-natured players began gathering to discuss strategies for clearing the game, debating whether to form groups for better survival chances since everyone lost item and enhancement advantages.
Now Miao Shuangshuang understood why Escape Killing Paradise has such a high death rate. Suddenly losing items and enhancements leaves a large mental gap, compounded by diminished strength.
In these circumstances, even if Escape Killing Paradise isn’t difficult, it wouldn’t be easy to pass. If Escape Killing Paradise is more difficult than other games, failing to clear it isn’t inconceivable.
As players complained and prepared to form groups, some started suddenly disappearing on the spot, one by one, disappearing at a very swift pace.
When the first player suddenly vanished on-site, Miao Shuangshuang reflexively reached out to grab Chi Qing and Lin Yu beside her.
Next moment, Miao Shuangshuang just felt her vision blur and she found herself with Lin Yu and Chi Qing in an entirely different place, a commercial district surrounded by towering business buildings, bustling with people and vehicles.
Miao Shuangshuang glanced around, realizing all players had vanished. It appeared the game forcibly separated everyone, preventing them from acting in concert.
Thankfully, Miao Shuangshuang reacted quickly, avoiding separation from Chi Qing and Lin Yu, although those players who had planned group tactics were out of luck and had to act alone, as the difficulty kept ratcheting up.
