The map is useless, and I haven’t gained much information. I only know that some of the exits in the game are wrong and used to confuse people.

She decided to continue living as long as she could.

If you encounter someone, run away; if you can't run, fight. This is Qian Hong's rule of survival.

She lives directly in the corridor on the roof, making it easy to run around.

Only a few hours later, Qian Hong had just finished eating the heated special instant noodles when a group of people came into the villa.

"I have to hide again."

Qian Hong sighed, controlled the blood to turn into a rope and a zipline, and ran to the house next door.

She really didn't want to fight. This was not like having a powerful partner like in the first round. If she really met a strong person, she would probably lose too much blood trying to defend against attacks like in the previous round.

Then a few minutes later, another wave of people came to where Qian Hong currently lived, and she was forced to move again.

Then in the next few hours, no matter where she fled, someone would be at Qian Hong's location at the same time.

Qian Hong fled to the back garden of a big house. She panted and said, "I can't stand it anymore. Instead of hiding like this all the time, it's better to do something useful."

What is a useful thing?

Qian Hong leaned against the wall of the back garden, found a few large boxes, and blocked herself in a blind corner, creating the feeling that the place was filled with waste and debris, leaving a little light to read maps and mobile phones.

"You still have to hide. After all, I'm not good at fighting. If there are so many abnormal people in this round of the game, then you have to be prepared to find special cards and exits."

She took out her phone and map, trying to find some doorways inside.

"The beginning is also a maze, and the city is also like a maze... Is there any connection between them?"

Qian Hong muttered to herself: "It would be nice if there was a maze map before the round starts."

She had a guess: Could it be that the maze before the round started was a smaller version of the city's maze, and would the exit be the correct route through the maze?

"I can't get a map of the maze either... This kind of guessing is useless."

The floating maze island at the beginning of the game disappeared after the start of the round, as if it existed only to provide players with cards.

Qian Hong thought about it but couldn't think of any way out.

She was so bored that she could only draw the approximate location where she might be now on the map.

She was writing and drawing on the map with the unopened pen, and suddenly she made a small discovery: "Huh? Why can this marked place be overlapped by changing the direction..."

When Qian Hong was escaping, she specifically marked the location of the roof of the villa. After comparing it, she found that it was a supermarket on the map. When she turned the map and the photo on her phone upside down, the location matched up perfectly.

"Is my sense of direction so bad?"

Taking photos from high in the sky cannot reveal the specific building in detail, but you can still make a rough guess based on its size and color.

Directions can be determined by landmarks such as skyscrapers.

It was also very coincidental. The supermarket photographed on her mobile phone had a huge mascot decoration with the word "Rookie Supermarket" on it, so she could be so sure.

Qian Hong thought about the surrounding stores again, and then compared her current location: "The colorful villa garden... there is an open space over there..."

She came to a conclusion by comparing the reality with the map on her mobile phone.

[Every round, the layout of the entire city maze will rotate. 】But what is the significance of this rotating layout?

Qian Hong tapped the map with her finger, frowned and closed her eyes to think: "If I were a game creator, I would definitely create some puzzles."

It seems that the map is still useful. It is not that the city is changing, but that the city is rotating.

There is still too little information. Qian Hong died very early in the previous round, and he was hiding around and couldn't get much information.

She just took a step forward and then retracted, looking at the garden floor tiles in confusion: "If you go out to find out information, you might die again..."

Rounding off, there are only two lives left, with both risks and benefits.

Qian Hong turned over the handwritten map: "Staying here is not an option. Why not go to the nearest exit from here."

After making up her mind, she gave Zero One the pen and the map, put them in his open backpack, and said to him earnestly: "Write down as many buildings as you can."

This makes it easier to compare information and decrypt it.

Zero Yi nodded obediently and started copying the records while Qian Hong was in action.

The special cards don't know where they will be, and they don't dare to kill. The only way for Qian Hong to win is to survive seven rounds and find an exit.

She has no companions. If the enemy is a group of powerful people and wants to deal with her seriously, Qian Hong will definitely not be able to defeat her. Calculate the probability based on the information obtained so far... or find the exit that is most likely to win.

"It's okay to exclude the exits one by one." [There are only 10 exits anyway, and one of them is always right. 】

Qian Hong took out her small electric scooter and walked along the covered path.

But it seems that the lanes are much more lively than the streets.

Not far away, she could hear the sound of fighting and killing in front of her. Just as she was about to take a detour, she heard the fighting people arguing about something.

"You made a foul, and the bomb will explode soon!"

"It doesn't matter. I can get high points by killing you. I don't care about this death."

A deafening explosion came from the front, and Qian Hong covered her ears after hearing the first sentence.

It was just a small explosion, not as massive as the previous one with the Mad Bomber.

She turned her head and looked at the situation over there. The two people could no longer see their original appearance, they were in tatters.

Their position was exactly at the exit of the maze. The iron door of the exit was blown away, leaving a black wall that was smashed into a deep pit.

Qian Hong couldn't help but get closer and take a closer look: "This is not the correct exit..."

Two have been ruled out, and there are eight exits waiting to be confirmed.

"But... what does a high score mean? What does a foul mean?" Qian Hong pondered these two sentences.

Zero One suddenly replied: "Master! I know this question! The more players you kill, the higher your points will be. If you kill a lot of players, you can get half of the other player's points."

"If it's a foul... I guess the only thing I can do is take off the thing around my neck."

Qian Hong suddenly remembered that she was wearing a bomb around her neck, and she was used to carrying it every day.

Zero One glanced at the bodies of the two people and said to Qian Hong: "The two of them should not be from your world, but players of our game. Otherwise, they would not know the rules that come with purchasing the game. You guys The game...should not have “points”, right?”

Qian Hong left here and answered him while riding an electric bicycle: "I don't know... maybe there is. After all, there are many ways to win in our survival game."

"But this has nothing to do with us, because I don't kill people."

There is no need to study killing people regardless of ranking, the right way is to concentrate on running and surviving.
