Bizarre Rules

"The rules are different in every Forbidden Zone, and the number of rules also varies, but the only rule that applies is not to talk about it in it."

Otherwise, you will die.

This kind of death isn't an instantaneous erasure by the rules; rather, the entire Forbidden Zone will turn against you.

Of course, if you don't break its rules, you're just an ordinary guest in this Forbidden Zone. You can hunt, and it's said that in some Forbidden Zone, adorable six-legged pangolins and six-armed Golden Snub-nosed Monkey are beloved by important people who capture them from the Forbidden Zone to keep as pets.

At the same time, you will be hunted by strange and powerful monsters in the Forbidden Zone.

Qing Chen asked, "What kind of rules are they?"

Li Shutong thought for a moment and said, "There is a Forbidden Zone where humans must sacrifice one of their companions every night in order to remain safe."

"What if one person goes in, but there's no one to sacrifice with?"

"Then sacrifice himself."

"What other rules are there?"

"There is another Forbidden Zone. For every kilometer you go in, you need to offer one liter of blood as a sacrifice. It doesn't have to be human blood."

Qing Chen frowned. The rules of these Forbidden Zone were indeed a bit strange, and extremely bloody.

However, as Li Shutong said, this Forbidden Zone and Forbidden Item have many similarities and both require a "containment condition".

This prerequisite is that you can coexist peacefully with it.

He asked in bewilderment, "Are all the rules in Forbidden Zone this bloody?"

"Of course, there are also some strange ones," Li Shutong said. "For example, there's a Forbidden Zone with only one rule: people with the surname Wang can't enter. You can't even get someone to change their name. I don't know why that Forbidden Zone is so eerie; it can somehow know your surname is Wang out of thin air."

"Huh?" Qing Chen's eyes widened. "Are the rules really that bizarre? How did you know?"

"These are the rules of the Forbidden Zone No. 082. Many people know this because the Chen family once mobilized a field battalion of the Federal First Group Army to explore it. As soon as they entered, all the soldiers surnamed Wang were chased and killed by the strange creatures and plants of the entire Forbidden Zone," Li Shutong said with a smile.

Qing Chen remained silent for a moment.

He thought to himself, "What did that guy surnamed Wang do to deserve this?"

"Of course, don't overcomplicate the Forbidden Zone. If you know the rules and don't go into the heart of it, it won't be particularly dangerous," Li Shutong said. "This time, I won't take you into the heart of Forbidden Zone No. 002; I'll just take a look at the edge."

Qing Chen then asked, "Are there any other bizarre rules like this?"

"Yes," Li Shutong said with a smile, "There is another Forbidden Zone where blood cannot be spilled on the ground."

At this moment, Li Yinuo casually asked, "Which Forbidden Zone are you referring to?"

Li Shutong glanced at her with a smile, "If you want to know, go and find out for yourself. Don't come to me."

Qing Chen suddenly realized that the eldest daughter of a conglomerate like Li Yinuo was also very interested in the Forbidden Zone. Was it because there was something worth looking forward to in the heartland?

However, it seems the other party doesn't know much about the Forbidden Zone either.

Li Shutong looked at Qing Chen and said, "99% of those who have violated the rules of the Forbidden Zone are dead. I only figured out some of the rules a few years ago after my strength improved, and even then, it was only a very small part of the rules of the Forbidden Zone."

Qing Chen gasped. Did Li Shutong mean that the other party could only escape the Forbidden Zone unscathed after becoming a demigod?!

Therefore, any rule regarding Forbidden Zone is extremely valuable.

They can even fetch exorbitant prices on the black market.

He asked, "Generally speaking, besides the rule that cannot be discussed, how many rules are there in the Forbidden Zone?"

"It depends on the number of people," Li Shutong explained patiently. "The number I'm referring to depends entirely on how many extraordinary individuals died in that Forbidden Zone."

"Huh?" Qing Chen asked in confusion.

"Look at that Forbidden Zone that doesn't allow people with the surname Wang to enter. It's probably because the deceased superhuman hated people with the surname Wang in their lifetime," Li Shutong said, his interest piqued. "These Forbidden Zone usually have a few rules based on how many superhumans have died there, and they are very likely to correspond to their preferences in life."

"However, most Forbidden Zone only have one rule," Li Yinuo added, "After all, extraordinary individuals rarely die in groups unless there has been a fierce battle where both sides are severely injured."

"Which Forbidden Zone has the most rules?" Qing Chen asked.

"The Forbidden Zone No. 001, Forbidden Zone 002, and Forbidden Zone No. 009 are generally considered to be the most numerous," Li Shutong said. "You don't need to worry about Forbidden Zone No. 001 for now; it's in the Northwest. Because the area of Forbidden Zone is too large, very few people have ventured there."

Forbidden Zone No. 002 is the place Qing Chen is going to.

However, Li Shutong said that this time they would only wander around the edge and would not enter the heartland, so it should not be particularly dangerous.

Li Yinuo looked at Li Shutong: "You must know the most about Forbidden Zone No. 002, right? You can keep the others a secret, but can you reveal a little about this?"

"No," Li Shutong said, "This place is actually the most important to me, so I can't tell you. You know those two rules, which are enough to save your life."

At this moment, only one vehicle from the Kamishiro Family escaped the pursuit of the Wildfire, while the Wildfire convoy continued to relentlessly chase after them.

However, Li Yinuo was not too nervous at this time.

She had already seen the Guang Jue tree that towered over the sky; the outer edge of the Forbidden Zone was not far away.

The fire pit's home ground has always been near the southwestern snow mountains, and she is certain that the other party is unaware of the rules of Forbidden Zone No. 002.

Li Yinuo said into the walkie-talkie, "Continue at full speed, and rest when you reach the edge of Forbidden Zone No. 002!"

Wang Bingxu and Xiao Gong replied, "Received."

At this moment, Qin Yiyi asked like a curious child, "What did you and this boy argue about just now? I saw you two arguing around the campfire and you seemed very unhappy."

Li Yinuo thought for a moment and said, "Baby is too kind, so he wants to persuade me to let you leave and not let you get involved in this. But I know... 'this gentleman' is in your group, so he wants to keep you by his side, at least to save your lives in a critical moment. Sigh, my baby is just so kind, unlike everyone else."

Qin Yiyi shivered, finding the title rather unbearable...

Nan Gengchen's face turned bright red again, and Li Yinuo sighed, "Look, he gets shy after just a few compliments."

Only Qing Chen knew that Nan Gengchen's argument with Li Yinuo was indeed to get them to leave, but the root cause was still for his good friend.

It must be said that Qing Chen has now re-evaluated the revolutionary friendship between them and is seriously considering the feasibility of establishing the "Father's Sorrow Alliance".
