"Attention all passengers," the onboard radio suddenly blared, a gurgling sound like bubbles mingling with the hum of electricity.
"This train is about to enter the Eternal Night Tunnel. Please return to your seats within three minutes. Do not look directly at the windows, and locate the carriage notices."
The announcement abruptly stopped, and the ceiling lights in the carriage shattered in succession. Darkness, like a materialized monster, rushed down the aisle.
"Damn it!"
Lu Li's face paled. The change had come too quickly.
Three minutes? Don't look directly at the windows!?
Car notice!?
Lu Li immediately grasped the most important information.
He had three minutes left, and those three minutes seemed to be enough time to find his seat.
Finally, don't look directly at the windows!
Lu Li began to search for anything on his person that matched his seat. He had three minutes to sit in the correct seat.
Sitting in the wrong seat, or not sitting at all, could mean death!
Everything was just beginning, and he didn't want to die right at the start. "Normally, the ticket would have seat information, but we didn't have any on board."
"Where's the ticket!?"
Lu Li searched his body for a long time but couldn't find any markings. After calming down, he suspected the train's rules were the same as those for regular trains.
In other words, he needed a ticket to survive!
"Has anyone found a ticket? Does anyone have a ticket?"
Lu Li immediately asked on the regional chat, hoping someone could answer his question.
He knew this would reveal information about the ticket, but right now, lives were more important; saving more people wouldn't hurt!
"Ticket? What ticket? Are you freaking out? Why are you looking for tickets in this awful place?!"
"Hurry and find a seat!"
Most people didn't care about tickets at all, and there was almost no useful information.
Lu Li quickly filtered out the useless information, then locked onto the portrait of a beautiful woman.
"What you're looking for is on the wall of the carriage. We owe each other nothing."
Lu Li's eyes immediately shifted to the iron sheeting, searching.
As expected, there was a map on the iron sheeting. Beneath the map were numbered numbers, and these numbers came in two colors. Red and black! The numbered cards, a mix of red and black, were neatly affixed to the carriage. This was the carriage notice!?
"Lu Li! 42!"
Lu Li's eyes scanned the cards, but just as he was about to remove his own, he discovered the one with his name on it was two colors. One black, one red!
"Which one? Take them all!?"
Lu Li swallowed, his face pale. Time didn't allow him to think any longer.
The two cards were like the two strings of a time bomb. If they were cut incorrectly, the bomb would explode!
Taking them all would surely trigger unpredictable changes!
Lu Li didn't have time to think. He immediately grabbed the black card and headed for position 42!
Although he wasn't sure this was the correct answer, he had no choice but to take a gamble!
Three minutes passed in a flash. He had no time to think any further. After sitting down, Lu Li considered the girl's name.
The girl's name was Li Zhaoqing. She said she didn't owe him anything, presumably referring to the fact that his message had given her the information about the ticket.
Lu Li was still unsure whether the black card in his hand was actually a ticket, but the answer would be revealed in five seconds!
Those five seconds felt like ages to Lu Li, each one an agonizing one.
Lu Li's knuckles were white from clenching, as he mentally counted down the seconds.
As the fifth second ticked off with the beat of his heart, the paper in his hand suddenly vibrated like a cicada's wing. Dark red ink oozed beneath the number 42, gradually smearing into the outline of the ticket.
"Right bet!"
Lu Li's face flushed, his breathing heavy.
[Death Adventure Experience Points Increased by 10 (10/100)]
Lu Li felt a little exhausted, but mentally he was filled with joy.
High levels of tension and facing danger also increase [Death Adventure] experience points, which is much safer than facing death head-on. [Tip: When your health drops below 10%, you can trigger "Suspended Death" automatically.]
[Each trigger grants experience points, which can be used to strengthen your physical fitness.]
[Currently possesses only one skill, Death Mastery.]
[Tip: Leveling up Death Adventure grants special skill rewards. Reaching C, B, A, or S levels grants a Mystical Evolution.]
"Is everyone okay?!"
Someone immediately spoke up in the regional channel.
"Good luck! I chose black cardboard. Otherwise, I'd be dead by now!"
"The number of people in the regional channel has dwindled!"
"That big guy named Lu Li just now, if you have any more information, please share it quickly! What should we do now?"
Some people remained silent, but kept a close eye on the chat. Some, keenly observing the conversation between Lu Li and Li Zhaoqing, easily found their tickets.
Some were also lucky enough to choose the right ticket.
However, a large number of people still perished in the terrifying first round!
"Yes, yes, yes, Boss Lu Li, if you have any more information, please share it with us. We can act together then. I've awakened a C-level superpower, so I'm quite capable!"
One person introduced himself, seemingly believing Lu Li to be intelligent and wanting to rely on him.
After he spoke, several others followed suit, hoping Lu Li would guide them.
After escaping the disaster, Lu Li looked at his unexpected ten experience points and special abilities, and had no time to think about the others.
Lu Li thought for a moment and decided to divide the ten experience points into two parts: one for speed and one for immunity.
Compared to future rewards, the present was more important.
"Five points for speed, five for immunity!"
If you can't defeat a ghost, you can run away. Even if you encounter a ghost in the future, you don't have to outrun it. As long as you run faster than others, the ghost won't necessarily target you.
In this environment, once injured, the body is susceptible to infection.
The stronger the immunity, the greater the resistance to these negative effects, and the higher the chance of survival.
This was Lu Li's decision after careful consideration. The moment his ten experience points were depleted, Lu Li immediately felt a difference in his body. He felt incredibly light!
"Excellent!"
Lu Li clenched his fists excitedly. It was just as he'd imagined.
Even without the strength and defense points, his combat power had still increased.
He had successfully increased his combat power by three points, from the previous five, reaching eight!
Lu Li glanced at the regional channel from the corner of his eye. Some people were already impatiently moving.
He hesitated to speak, but someone volunteered, spurring the others on.
This person was Zhang Liang, who had awakened a B-level superpower. He was incredibly confident.
"I, Zhang Liang, have awakened the B-level superpower Ghost Hand!"
"I can touch and attack supernatural beings. Anyone who wants to follow me, brothers, come to my compartment!"
There were a thousand people in the regional channel, but now only a little over six hundred remained. Of those six hundred, only a handful had awakened B-level superpowers.
At least, only a handful had mentioned it. Lu Li shook his head, scoffing at the thought of revealing his own ability level.
Although everyone was currently facing a supernatural danger, the bonds between people were always based on interests.
Exposing one's own weaknesses was tantamount to revealing one's weaknesses to others, which was not the right approach.
Lu Li observed the carriage for a moment, confirming that there was no danger, and then stood up.
No comments at the moment!
