The Gap

The familiar Void Space, empty except for myself.

Empty, desolate, and unchanging through the ages.

The system voice echoing in his ears could no longer affect Yimo's mind.

His pale face was expressionless. He slightly raised his head, and a white film covered the surface of his Left Eye, making it appear as if it were broken and devoid of any vitality.

My right eye was filled with indifference and numbness.

In this numb and indifferent state, Yimo selected the items needed for this Game, her mind a jumble of chaotic memories.

During the previous Game, he entered a special state and saw many memories from his past that were not present in him.

Those memories, however, have become fragmented and blurred with the end of the previous Game.

Like a fledgling bird that has just escaped its cage, it is once again enveloped by an invisible hand, unable to break free.

Mobile phone: 1 Points.

"Electronic Translator: 3 Points"

RPG: 30 Points.

"3 vials of peptide hormone injection: 15 Points"

Helicopter: 400 Points.

"..."

The items needed for this Game are being selected at lightning speed; items like the cloak and Candy Cigarette that Imo used to choose in every game are no longer Yimo.

Although most of the scenes Yimo saw in the Memory Corridor were blurry, there were still some fragments of memories that Yimo could never forget.

Even the system cannot take it away again.

Those fragmented and chaotic memory pieces filled Yimo's mind, mixed with his original memories, making his brain extremely chaotic and causing many memory gaps.

After regaining consciousness, Yimo began to deduce the memories she had forgotten.

"Elder brother."

"Let's try changing the rules, creating the rules."

"Together,----!"

Hiss--hiss--.

A buzzing sound kept echoing in her mind, as if something was deliberately influencing and ravaging Yimo's brain nerves.

For an ordinary person, such intense pain would make even standing normally extremely difficult.

But Yimo's expression remained unchanged, as if she felt no pain.

"The things I need to do are things that even memories are not allowed to exist," she murmured to herself.

A silver-white figure remained etched in his mind, unchanged.

Yimo stared at the boundless Void Space, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

He touched his left shoulder, and after a moment of clarity, his right eye entered the Character Customization system.

After completing all preparations, before entering the Game.

Yimo put a very ordinary silver ring into his pocket.

This ring was the only item Yimo managed to grab after Ji Ran's body shattered in the previous Game, and he has held onto it tightly ever since.

As her Left Eye, which was covered by a white film, flashed with an eerie red light, Yimo had already filled in her nickname for this Game.

"Blank"

If the real enemy is the Game itself.

Before that, all Game Player were obstacles...

On the other side, in Shi Xinglan's Void Space.

Confirm your choice of nickname "Alice".

Physical condition repair, repair of the Left Eye and both legs, strengthening of muscle fibers, gene repair...

Shi Xinglan was rapidly modifying her temporary physical condition in the Game, while simultaneously selecting various mechanical parts, potion ingredients, and finished items she needed from the shop.

Before entering the previous Game, Shi Xinglan had 1 point Points.

Although the final Points of the previous Game was not calculated, the "Human Emperor's Spear" mission had been completed, and the Points was immediately awarded to the Player.

In addition, the daily 50 Points were not deducted during the system maintenance period, so Shi Xinglan now has 1001 points Points.

Right now, we're making the most of these Points to prepare for this Game.

As the preparation phase of the Death Game began, Shi Xinglan temporarily suppressed her emotions and immersed herself entirely in Game preparations.

But judging from the annoyed expression on Shi Xinglan's face, she was still affected by Yimo and was in a very bad mood.

While preparing, Shi Xinglan glanced at the system notifications every now and then, frowning slightly. "What a jinx."

"Once you enter the Death Game, I will absolutely not help you!"

"If you want to die, then go ahead and die!"

"I would never use my Talent for someone who's courting death!"

With all of Shi Xinglan's preparations complete.

She closed her eyes, allowing herself to enter a state of tranquility.

Time passed slowly, and in the last second before entering the Game, Shi Xinglan opened her eyes with perfect precision, thinking to herself.

Loser Shut-In, if you want to survive, figure out a way yourself!

In Shi Xinglan's final thoughts, after a brief period of Blank, her mind had already entered the Game World.

As Shi Xinglan regained consciousness, she found herself in a dilapidated coffee shop.

The café is about 150 square meters in size. Dark brown wooden tables are placed in the field of vision, and the stools and sofas are overturned. There are many coffee cup crumbs, dirty tablecloths and other debris on the floor.

The entire space appeared messy and disorganized, as if it had been abandoned without being cleaned up after a violent Conflict.

Through the shop windows, one could see that the sky outside was overcast, cars were stuck in traffic, curses Flute Music could be heard constantly, and people were running around in a panic, creating a scene reminiscent of the end of the world.

Inside the coffee shop, there were currently seven Death Game Player.

Besides Shi Xinglan and Yimo, the other five people had already gathered together, clearly teaming up for a matchmaking Game.

The first thing Shi Xinglan did was not to go and check on the five Player or assess Player situation.

Instead, he looked at Yimo first.

In a dilapidated corner of the Café, Yimo stood alone beside a fallen Bench, her hair disheveled, still wearing the same shorts and short-sleeved shirt she wore before entering the Game— shirts that had been soaked by the rain and dried naturally.

Upon witnessing this scene, Shi Xinglan's mood worsened, and a gloomy expression settled over her face.

"Tsk!" After clicking his tongue, he turned his head away and stopped looking at Yimo.

Absolutely not, I won't care about you!

"Dingling."

Congratulations on obtaining the R Card, Swift.

The initial card draw ended.

Shi Xinglan drew an R Card that could double the speed of herself or her units for 2 minutes.

It's not useless, but it's clearly much weaker than Powerful Cards.

Shi Xinglan had drawn this Cards before and knew its effect, so she didn't look at it carefully and simply put it away.

At the same time, the system's voice began to echo in Shi Xinglan's ears, Game Rules began to appear in the view of all Player.

Following the Game Rules were the team battle rules.

This Game is another high-level Player team battle!

During the preparation stage, Shi Xinglan had already guessed the game type after seeing "Game type: Story survival, not yet announced".

That's why I muttered, "What a jinx."

Team battles, which should have been easier to match with at level 51, were once again matched with Shi Xinglan was Level 50, because she was teamed up with Yimo.

Facing High-Level Player team, let alone helping Yimo, even for Shi Xinglan who had lost all her Special Item, it was an enormous challenge in itself!

After briefly glancing at the rules, Shi Xinglan immediately opened the system.

"Game Restrictions"

"Cards quantity limit: 3 cards; Talent Restriction Level: 0-30% (some Talent effects are reduced)."

Unlike the previous Strife of Gods and Demons game where Cards Talent were unlimited, in this Game each Player can use a maximum of 3 Cards, with the limit decreasing by 0% to 30% depending on the Talent effect.

Shi Xinglan was not surprised by the Game restrictions.

The strength of the bio-engineered creatures is far inferior to that of the advanced creatures in the previous game set in a fantasy world, and they will definitely be limited in terms of Talent and firearms.

"Team Mission"

At this moment, the Team Mission are still Blank; the system has not sent any tasks.

"System Map"

This Game has System Map, which is currently shrouded in shadow, and apart from one's own red dot, no other information can be obtained.

Team Rankings

"First Team: ***, Second Team: 183."

"Second Team Members: S Lion, S Fox, S Hound, S Hamster, S Brown Bear, Alice, Blank."

This time, Yimo and Shi Xinglan's team had Fluctuation Value 183 points. In the team battle between the two teams, they were judged to be the weaker team and entered the Game first.

Besides Yimo and Shi Xinglan, the nicknames of the other five Player in their Team 2 also clearly reflected the team's nature, all being "S" plus the name of an animal.

At this time, while studying the system and observing the other Player, Shi Xinglan moved calmly towards the entrance of the Café.

In this Game, she doesn't plan to engage with any of her Player and is determined to solo the entire game!

However, before Shi Xinglan could observe her team of five Player for a while, she arrived near the entrance of the Café.

System Message arrived one after another, making Shi Xinglan's face grow even paler.

"Dingling."

"The Game's mission will be revealed 12 hours later, after all teams have arrived."

"Dingling."

System Intelligence: 24 hours remaining until the Sterilization Operation.

What is Sterilization Operation?

It refers to the Resident Evil series, where, in the event of an uncontrollable biohazard leak, a thermobaric bomb comparable to a Nuclear Bomb was used to completely destroy Raccoon City!

This single piece of information was enough for Shi Xinglan to know that this Game would definitely last no more than 24 hours.

If either team fails to complete their respective tasks within the allotted time, they will be eliminated from the Game.

The sword of Damocles hangs over the heads of both teams, giving them no time to waste.

In addition to that, there is another enormous pressure.

In this Game that lasted no more than 24 hours, Team 1 didn't enter the Game a full 12 hours after Team 2.

In other words, Team 1 didn't even have time to win over the NPC forces in this Game before facing the complete outbreak of this biohazard Game.

In conclusion.

According to the system's assessment, Team Strength than Team 2.

It has probably reached a point where it can face the vast majority of biochemical organisms without relying on external forces!

P. S. This is over 3700 words. The team rules are the same as the previous one, but I'm posting it again to reinforce the impression, hence the extra free words.

Regular Group 1: 730906278 (Almost full)

Regular Group 2: 6273184 (New Group)
