Chapter 44

A dozen or so people turned the corner and ran into the passage.

They looked panicked, clearly being chased by monsters.

"It's our college counselor, Chen!"

Qin De saw the man running at the front and immediately alerted Sun Yuan.

"Run fast, there are monsters behind us!"

Chen Jun shouted, signaling Sun Yuan and his group to run quickly.

"How many?"

Sun Yuan asked.

"Six!"

Chen Jun, wearing glasses and a suit, looked refined and gentlemanly, but now he was sweating profusely, looking disheveled.

"Go!"

Sun Yuan called out and immediately set off.

Zhuo Wen, Qin De, and Xu Qingshan followed closely behind, then Shen Jingran and Zhen Yu.

These two girls, one who often exercised to maintain her figure and the other a female streamer who practiced dancing to maintain her popularity and often went outdoors for live broadcasts, had good stamina.

Zhao Siyu wanted to follow but was too weak.

"Wang Xu, Zhou Ze!"

Sun Yuan urged.

Chen Jun, seeing these people running towards him, was stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Fighting monsters!"

Qin De spat out two words.

Compared to these players who were fleeing like stray dogs from the mushroom people, he suddenly felt a sense of superiority, looking smug.

"..."

Chen Jun wanted to say, "Are you idiots?" but seeing the serious expressions on these students as they ran past, he couldn't say anything.

He suddenly felt inferior.

As a teacher, he was not as good as these students.

"Chen Jun, what are you thinking? Run!"

Zhang Wei, seeing his colleague stop, quickly urged.

"Should we also fight the monsters?"

Chen Jun suggested.

"What's the point of fighting those things? Finding a way out is the top priority!"

Zhang Wei adjusted his glasses.

He hoped these students would fight the monsters, regardless of whether they lived or died, to buy them time to escape.

Chen Jun turned around and saw the leading boy, who was calmly carrying a baseball bat, turn the corner.

How cool!

But he's so reckless, he'll probably die, right?

Chen Jun saw Zhang Wei and the others run without any intention of helping, so he also gave up on staying.

In the passage, only four mushroom monsters chased over, while two were squatting beside a dying female college student, eating her body like bears eating corn.

She no longer had the strength to even cry for help.

"I'll take two, Mosquito one, Qingshan, Qin De, you take one each!"

Sun Yuan, seeing that Wang Xu and Zhou Ze hadn't caught up, didn't wait for them and threw a Barbarian Boomerang.

Swish!

The boomerang hit a mushroom person in the eye and bounced off.

Sun Yuan rushed forward, gripping the baseball bat tightly, unleashing full power.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Each time the bat hit a mushroom person, it exploded, sending plant debris flying and smoke rising.

Zhuo Wen thrust his gun at a mushroom person.

Wave Assault.

Double Strike.

Swish!

The mushroom person dodged the first shot but was pierced by the second.

Zhuo Wen, in a hurry and a bit nervous, didn't hit a vital spot, so the mushroom person didn't die immediately. It roared and continued to charge forward.

Sizzle!

Green slime was left on the gun barrel.

Zhuo Wen panicked, trying to pull the gun out but couldn't.

"Mosquito, drop the gun!"

Sun Yuan shouted.

Zhuo Wen finally reacted, but it was too late. The mushroom person had already pounced, its large hand slapping towards his head.

At this critical moment, Zhen Yu used her Angry Slingshot to launch a bird projectile. It flew towards the mushroom person, transforming into a fist-sized bird and slamming into its eye.

Bang!

The bird exploded, leaving a large hole in the mushroom person.

Thud!

The mushroom person fell to the ground, dead.

Shen Jingran and Zhao Siyu, seeing the bird projectile's immense power, were envious.

"Th... Thanks!"

Zhuo Wen was still shaken.

"We're teammates, it's my duty!"

Zhen Yu didn't take credit but loaded another bird projectile, ready to support and intervene.

But it wasn't needed anymore. Sun Yuan had killed two mushroom people and started to help Xu Qingshan and Qin De.

When Sun Yuan smashed the head of this mushroom person, a pale white light orb burst from the corpse.

"Gear dropped!"

Qin De cheered.

"Don't just stand there, go kill the other two!"

Sun Yuan said, then ran towards the two mushroom people still eating the female college student.

The battle was a no-brainer.

When the two mushroom people fell, another Spore Coat dropped.

"This round is rich!"

Zhen Yu was overjoyed.

Their temporary team had 13 people. Although she was the first to follow Sun Yuan, she hadn't received a Spore Coat because she didn't engage in close combat with the mushroom people.

Zhao Siyu squatted beside the nearly dead female college student, holding her hand: "Do you have any last words?"

The female college student coughed up blood, unable to speak.

"Zhen Yu, here!"

Sun Yuan handed the Spore Coat to Zhen Yu: "Your support just now was great!"

"Ah, finally got it!"

Zhen Yu held the Spore Coat with both hands, pressing it to her cheeks.

The feel was amazing.

Better than any thousand-dollar lingerie.

There was one more Spore Coat. Sun Yuan's gaze swept over Bao Qi, Wang Yu, Zhao Caiwei, and finally landed on Li Wan.

Only these four girls were left without one.

Bao Qi and Wang Yu immediately became nervous.

Zhao Caiwei, touching her injured right hand, felt a mix of emotions.

During the first mushroom-picking game, she was careless and got her arm blown off, thinking she was doomed, so she was very消极.

But unexpectedly, because she met Sun Yuan, her fate turned around, and she survived.

When Zhao Caiwei saw the players who failed the task being eliminated on the virtual screen, she felt relieved and even more grateful to Sun Yuan.

"Captain, give the Spore Coat to Li Wan. She's your classmate and should be treated specially."

Zhao Caiwei spoke up.

Bao Qi and Wang Yu, hearing this, wanted to tear Zhao Caiwei's mouth apart.

You're just causing trouble.

"Give it to Li Wan!"

Shen Jingran knew this would offend Bao Qi and Wang Yu, but she didn't care. In terms of relationship, they were just distant alumni.

"Li Wan, here!"

Sun Yuan handed the Spore Coat to Li Wan and looked at Zhao Caiwei and the others: "I'll do my best to help you get Spore Coats."

"I believe you!"

Zhao Caiwei knew she was injured and wouldn't get a Spore Coat this time, so she decided to do a favor.

"We believe you too!"

Bao Qi and Wang Yu, regardless of their thoughts, smiled and agreed, hoping to curry favor.

Their survival depended on Sun Yuan.

At this moment, they really envied Li Wan.

She didn't do anything but, because she was Sun Yuan's classmate, got a Spore Coat early.

So frustrating.

"What time is it?"

Sun Yuan, to save his phone's battery, had turned it off, so he asked Zhao Siyu, who was wearing a watch.

"Five forty-five."

Zhao Siyu's women's watch wasn't a luxury item, costing only a thousand or so, a gift from her father when she started college.

"Let's leave here and find a place to rest!"

Sun Yuan suggested.

In the mobile game, every six hours, supply boxes would be air-dropped into the Spore Maze, containing medicine, Spore Coats, and most importantly, maps.

Sun Yuan, as a beta tester, used to have everything to himself, but now it was different. Other players would definitely come to抢.

A team battle was likely to break out.

After a short rest, everyone quickly fell asleep, with Qin De and Wang Xu snoring loudly.

Normally, Zhao Siyu would be kept awake by the noise and would put on headphones, but now she was so exhausted that she slept soundly.

"Bao Qi, Wang Yu, can you take the watch?"

Sun Yuan asked.

"Sure!"

The two girls didn't really want to, but they didn't dare refuse.

"You don't fight monsters, so you have to contribute in other ways."

Sun Yuan explained.

"I understand!"

Bao Qi nodded.

Sun Yuan leaned against the maze wall, curling up into a ball.

After taking down this tower, he would buy a space backpack and prepare a full set of survival gear. Otherwise, life would be too hard.

Sun Yuan closed his eyes but couldn't sleep.

One reason was his good endurance and a full night's sleep, making him not very tired. The other was the pressure of being the team leader.

His words determined the survival rate of the team members.

For example, the Spore Coat. Among the four girls, no matter who Sun Yuan gave it to, the others wouldn't dare to object, but the one who got it had a higher chance of survival.

Li Wan lay on the ground, hugging the Spore Coat, her gaze often drifting towards Sun Yuan.

She was very grateful to Sun Yuan and wanted to thank him, but she was afraid to disturb his rest.

...

Time passed quickly, like a cheating woman leaving her husband.

"Captain, wake up, it's almost six!"

Bao Qi and Wang Yu wanted to make a good impression on Sun Yuan, so they called him together.

Sun Yuan opened his eyes, sat up, and stretched.

"Senior, have something to eat?"

Zhen Yu pulled out a chocolate bar from her Pikachu backpack, unwrapped it, and offered it to Sun Yuan.

"Little slut!"

Shen Jingran pouted.

"Have it, you've done the most work, you deserve it."

Zhen Yu insisted, pushing the chocolate into Sun Yuan's mouth: "See, your lips touched it, no one else can eat it."

"Thanks!"

Sun Yuan took the chocolate and put it in his mouth.

"Everyone, wake up, we're about to set off."

Sun Yuan said, then looked up at the sky.

The towering spore plants, with their large caps, seemed to cover the sky like a curtain.

But when six o'clock in the evening arrived, these caps, covered in mycelium, suddenly shriveled and closed, like an umbrella closing.

The evening sky appeared in the players' view.

"What's that?"

Zhen Yu exclaimed.

In the air, dozens of jellyfish-like objects were descending like parachutes.

They emitted bright light, and from a distance, the players could see that each jellyfish had a small box hanging below it.

"Whatever it is, we need to get it first!"

Sun Yuan gripped his baseball bat, not wanting to tell these people that it was a supply drop.

The jellyfish-like objects descended lower and lower.

Finally, with a thud, they landed in the maze.

Survival Supplies,

Airdrop complete!
