Don't Be Foolish Enough to Die

The sudden death shocked everyone.

Along with Kamishiro Seisho and Kamishiro Ori, nearly a hundred people watched in complete silence as the other fell to the ground.

No one even dared to step forward to help.

Because the way he died was too bizarre.

In the dense, dark woods, even though it was only early morning, very little sunlight could penetrate.

The leaves rustled and swayed, as if anyone could be the murderer, including every blade of grass, every tree, every flower.

"Miss Yinuo is a member of a collateral branch of the Chen family," Wang Bingxu said as he knelt down beside the deceased. He examined her silently. "There were no external injuries, but there were marks on her neck from being strangled by both hands. However, it cannot be confirmed that she strangled herself to death."

Everyone knows that this member of the Chen family died because he broke the rules, but no one knows what those rules were.

Just then, a girl couldn't help but blurt out, "I understand, this Forbidden Zone No. 002 might not allow it..."

At this point, Li Yinuo was about to raise her hand to stop her from continuing, but she found that her cheeks were also turning red, just like the Chen family member. She tried hard to say something, to ask for help, but she couldn't utter a single word.

The girl clutched her own neck with both hands, as if trying to pull something out, but could only struggle helplessly.

Li Yinuo slowly lowered her raised arm. "It's hopeless, don't worry about her, she died from her own stupidity."

Keep it a secret, remember what you discover, but never reveal its rules to others in Forbidden Zone.

It will kill the informant.

The rules for traversing Forbidden Zone are as if gods slumber within each Forbidden Zone, and they have agreed to keep their secrets, with anyone who leaks a secret required to die.

Li Yinuo looked at everyone and said, "I believe that everyone here is well aware of where we are right now. If you haven't thought about what to say, then shut your mouths."

Sometimes that's just how it is; you might clearly remember something you can't say, but your mouth moves faster than your brain.

That girl must have known the rules for navigating Forbidden Zone, but she couldn't resist.

In fact, at this moment, although no one knew why the first member of the Chen family died, everyone had already vaguely guessed a certain rule of the Forbidden Zone No. 002.

Li Yinuo said nothing; she quietly pondered what rule the first person had broken that led to their death.

Nan Gengchen remained silent beside her. He knew he couldn't be of any help at this moment, so he didn't want to make things worse.

At this moment, a spoiled young man unbuckled his belt and turned his back to urinate. He couldn't hold it in any longer, but he didn't dare to leave the crowd.

The muscular girl, watching the spoiled young man's retreating figure, suddenly snapped out of her daze and shouted at him as he turned to urinate, "Stop! Take it back!"

In an instant, the spoiled young man abruptly withdrew his urge to urinate.

Li Yinuo turned around and saw many people twisting their legs because they couldn't hold their urine, clearly about to burst.

They started their escape last night, and many of them had been holding in their urine all the way. However, there were men and women on the bus, and no one could relieve themselves. They could only hold it in and try to escape first.

Everyone looked at her blankly, but Li Yinuo hesitated several times and didn't open her mouth to explain anything.

She knows what the rules are!

Li Yinuo led Wang Bingxu behind a tree, the place where the first dead man had emerged.

Wang Bingxu looked at the water stains on the tree roots; they were clearly urine.

He looked to the side in surprise. "Miss Yinuo..."

"Shut up," Li Yinuo said coldly, "Don't be the second person to die from stupidity."

Until this moment, she finally determined why the first person had died.

Who would have thought that one of the rules of this Forbidden Zone, No. 002, would be that you can't urinate or defecate anywhere?!

How fastidious must the superhuman who left this rule be?

To die from urinating in Forbidden Zone —what an unjust way to die!

She led Wang Bingxu on a risky journey back, and they found the vehicle belonging to the Kamishiro Family that had crashed into a tree. From the trunk, they found two oil drums filled with diesel fuel.

Fortunately, the Wilderness People didn't actually come in; he remained outside, observing.

Li Yinuo poured all the diesel fuel on the ground, picked up the empty oil can, and returned to the group. "Girls, line up first and pee in here. Remember, pee completely, and don't drink a drop of water before we leave."

She didn't even dare to say things like "Don't pee on the ground," for fear of incurring the backlash of the rules.

But even now, they still cannot determine the cause of the first person's death. The rules do not directly eliminate a person; they only cause plants and animals to attack those who break the rules.

Li Yinuo looked around and saw that the spoiled young men were lining up to urinate next to the diesel drums behind the big tree. As for the large ones, they could only hold it in for now, even if they couldn't hold it in.

Wait a minute, the muscular girl didn't see Qin Cheng, Qin Yiyi, or the others.

These wilderness hunters had somehow broken away from the group.

Beneath the dense canopy of trees in Forbidden Zone No. 002, Qin Cheng was pulling Qin Yiyi's wrist, leading his family eastward.

Even though everyone was exhausted from running, Qin Cheng showed no intention of stopping.

Because this place is too dangerous, Forbidden Zone No. 002 is known as one of the places with the most rules. This means that if you stay here for even a minute longer or do anything unnecessary, you may violate some strange rules.

So if you are forced to enter Forbidden Zone, the best option is to leave as quickly as possible!

The reason they chose this route was because before Li Shutong took Qing Chen away, he personally told Qin Yiyi: Go east, find a stream, and follow the stream eastward to find a way out. This road is only three kilometers long, and you can survive if you leave here.

At that time, Qin Yiyi was unaware that Li Shutong and Qing Chen were already planning to leave the group.

She felt a sense of loss only after the other person disappeared.

The girl ran wildly with her father through the dim woods until they heard the sound of a stream and followed it eastward.

After walking for an unknown distance, suddenly everyone felt a warm embrace, and the feeling of being watched by some terrifying being finally dissipated.

Qin Cheng bent over, supporting himself on his knees. He was getting old, and even running such a short distance made him breathless.

He looked at his somewhat bewildered daughter and sighed inwardly.

Suddenly, the older brother said to the girl, "Remember? That middle-aged man told us to go to City No. 18 to find someone named Su Xingzhi."

Qin Cheng was implying that since they had found the other party's subordinates, they would naturally meet again sooner or later.

But Qin Yiyi suddenly shook her head stubbornly. "Mom and Dad, brother, I don't want to go back to City No. 18. I want to go to the Fire Pit. I know I can get power there."

Qin Cheng asked doubtfully, "Let's go find that Su Xingzhi. Maybe we can get you some gene serum. I think that middle-aged man likes you quite a bit."

Qin Yiyi and shook her head. "No, I want to go to the fire pit."

The girl kept her thoughts to herself and told no one.
