Behind Su Heng, several young men and women with either panicked or confused expressions were standing at the company's gate with their resumes in hand, looking in this direction.
"Crossing the streets full of zombies during off-duty hours to come for an interview?" Gu Lingxin asked, keeping a certain distance from Su Heng.
Su Heng and several others were stunned: "Didn't you hear the 'rules of the game'?"
"What rules..." Before Gu Lingxin could finish speaking, she heard a charming female voice coming from above:
"The number of players is sufficient, the game begins!"
"Main mission: pass the interview."
"Rule 1: Don't lose sight of other players."
"Rule 2: Each player can obtain a hidden rule. When you need to ask, please raise your right hand and say 'please wait a moment'."
"Rule 3: The game lasts for twelve hours. If the task is not completed within the time limit, the game will be deemed a failure. If it fails, all players will become NPCs in this game."
The sound dispersed, and the night sky remained silent.
A slender girl in a white dress with a pretty face walked up to Gu Lingxin and said excitedly: "That's great, you also have powers, so we have two awakened ones in our team."
"You really plan to follow these bullshit rules, I won't play with you!" A short-haired man who looked a bit ruffian shouted loudly, "There are so many zombies outside, by the time you finish playing the puzzle game, Yuan City will have been destroyed by zombies. Surrounded!"
"Don't I want to leave? Can you tell me how to get out? The gate is right over there, come out and let me see!" Seeing that the short-haired man had a bad attitude, the girl also raised her voice and shouted back.
game? rule? Gu Lingxin was a little crazy, what is this?
After the end of the previous life, people were awakened, infected, and those who were neither awakened nor infected either fled in panic or stayed at home waiting for official rescue, but there has never been such a thing as a real-life puzzle game.
Before she could think about it, the man and the girl started shouting again.
"Stop arguing!" Another tall girl with short hair squeezed in between them, "We are trapped here now, and there is no other way. Let's follow the 'rules' and walk around the company first."
After the short-haired girl finished speaking, she explained to Gu Lingxin: "Hello, my name is Bell. Something suddenly happened outside. We were avoiding zombies when we passed by here and heard the rules of the game, and then we couldn't get out."
Her facial features are particularly deep and straight, and she seems to be of mixed race.
"I'm also a superpower, but I'm not as powerful as you. This big guy just blocked us here and we couldn't get in at all..."
Her face was a little pale, and when she said this, she turned around and glanced at the filth on the ground. Blood, broken bones, carapace, huge mouthparts pierced by the forelimbs, and grey-brown and dark pink minced meat were sticky everywhere. All.
Bell suddenly bent down and retched several times, forcing himself not to look at or think about the filth. Gu Lingxin looked at her hesitant expression and could guess what the mutated flying insects were eating just now. That person should also be one of the "players".
The person she had spoken to a few minutes ago was eaten up by the infected in the next second. If she had seen it with her own eyes in the past, she would definitely be more panicked than Bell at this moment.
However, she comes from the three years of purgatory at the end of the world, and fear and panic will not make the danger disappear. The more calm you are, the more likely you will be angry.
Gu Lingxin quickly calmed down. She recalled what Bell had just said and quickly grasped the key point.
"Can't you get out?" She looked in the direction of the gate. The security room was empty. The company's iron door was completely open, and outside was an empty asphalt road.
Just driving two cars out is enough, right?
A strange feeling came to his mind, and Gu Ling walked over quickly without believing anything. When everyone else saw this, they all had expressions that were hesitant to speak.
During the few steps approaching the company gate, Gu Lingxin felt extremely tired, as if she had walked tens of thousands of steps. The fatigue and soreness quickly spread from the soles of her feet to her calves.
It's only two or three meters away.
Gu Lingxin took a few more steps, and the company door opened two or three meters away from her. All she had to do was walk...
She stopped suddenly.
The asphalt road in the dark night is like a black hole, hiding infinite unknowns. While people are yearning for it, they are also in awe.
Gu Lingxin understood that this place was bound by "rules" and no matter what he tried, he would always be one step away from the outside world. As Bell said, there's no getting out.
In the eyes of the other people, Gu Lingxin was standing still at the door - the same result as what they had just tried.
Obviously, this is not the real world. If you want to get out, you can only follow the "rules" first. Gu Lingxin felt a little depressed. After being reborn, she clearly had information and was confident to deal with everything that was coming, but her destiny in this life had already deviated from the trajectory in her memory.
Could it be that instead of being reborn, she has gone to hell?
Su Heng saw Gu Lingxin retreating and said, "First follow the rules and find the interview location."
The interview location..."Wisp's" office? Gu Ling was thoughtful. She had stabbed Will-o'-the-Wisp. She still didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Su Heng also saw it with his own eyes, so why did he hide it from others?
Several people followed and walked towards the office building together. In order to relieve the tense atmosphere, the girls chatted with each other. Gu Lingxin listened to them and expressed her feelings towards the players of this "rules game". Got a general impression.
Bell's awakening ability is [Crazy Transformation], which can greatly improve body functions and reactions in a short period of time, but it will make you very tired after use and requires a period of rest to recover.
The girl in the white skirt is named Ruan Ningning, the girl with the round hair is named Yang Chengye, and the other man who looks a bit gentle is named Cheng Qiu. The three of them are ordinary people without the ability to awaken.
Gu Lingxin glanced at Su Heng. Ruan Ningning just said that there were two awakened people among them. Bell introduced herself just now. When she killed the infected, everyone saw it with their own eyes, so Su Heng hid his identity from everyone. ability.
However, Gu Lingxin did not expose him. The most important thing now was to find a way to break the rules of the game.
Returning to the door of the office marked "Human Resources Department", the high-end wooden door made of high-quality mahogany was tightly closed.
Gu Lingxin felt a chill on her back and subconsciously glanced at Su Heng, who also happened to look at her.
The door was opened by Su Heng just now.
While the two were hesitating, Bell had already reached out and pushed open the door.
There was a large patch of grey-brown dried blood on the floor in the corner of the office. A black leather bag with a broken strap was thrown carelessly on a chair, and there seemed to be some faint blood stains on it. On the desk was a neat briefcase and a letter with Su Heng's resume.
Gu Lingxin looked around, then looked at Su Heng again with a pale face.
The will-o'-the-wisp is gone.
