Chapter 927: Chapter 112: Death Game_5

“Twelve hours have passed, it’s time for the second wave of people to be sent in…”

Without a way to leave, they had no choice but to continue waiting at the vortex passage.

…

“I need to carry out the mission as well, why can Zhao Yu go and not me?”

Zhou Zhenghua complained indignantly, “Besides, the vice principal has agreed, why won’t you?”

“Son, you’re different from him, you are the legitimate heir of our Zhou family. If anything were to happen to you…”

“Hmph, precisely because I am the legitimate heir of the Zhou family, I must maintain a leading position. Otherwise, how can I command the respect of those below me?”

Watching Zhou Zhenghua’s demeanor, Zhou’s mother was both proud and worried.

Proud that her son had grown up, worried about the dangers he might face on the mission.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke up, “If you’re going to take on the mission, you must be accompanied by Captain Wu…”

“Captain Wu is second-tier, how does him following me make any sense at all?!” Zhou Zhenghua complained. He had received intel that those accompanying Zhao Yu were only some Tier 1 squads.

“There’s no negotiating this. Either let Captain Wu accompany you, or don’t go at all!” Zhou’s mother also stood her ground firmly.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhenghua had no choice but to agree.

…

“It’s about time, the second batch of reinforcements should be arriving soon…”

Ma Bond murmured to himself as he checked the time.

Indeed, after about four or five minutes, ripples emanated from the vortex passage and eight people emerged from it.

The moment they landed, Ma Bond tried to reach his hand into the vortex passage, but still failed to pass through, his hand merely moving through it.

“Why are you all here?!”

The new arrivals, martial professionals, were surprised to find the area crowded with people, including teams from the capital.

“So you’ve been fine all along…”

Ma Bond shook his head, “We’re fine for now, just unable to leave this place…”

“Unable to leave?!”

The new arrivals were astonished and tried to go back but indeed found they could not pass through the vortex passage either.

“What’s going on?!”

Ma Bond explained what he knew to them.

The new arrivals were speechless, “So, we have to wait for the next or even the next-next wave of reinforcements before we have a chance to return?!”

“What else can we do?!”

The ordinary people who had already been here started to believe what Ma Bond said, feeling a bit more confident about being able to leave this place.

“Where did you get that food from?”

Ma Bond suddenly noticed someone eating instant noodles, and his stomach involuntarily churned.

“There’s a supermarket over there. I took it from there; no one was charging…”

“Let me take a look at the food you’ve got…”

Upon inspecting the food, Ma Bond found they seemed no different from real food.

After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately decided to take some food back with him, as being too hungry could affect his stamina.

Soon, about a dozen people carried a big load of food back and the group feasted heartily.

Several more hours passed, and as the 24-hour mark drew nearer, some people couldn’t handle the pressure.

“When our time is up, will we just die?!”

“Can you guys even save us or not?!”

Seeing the ordinary people unable to take it anymore, Ma Bond hesitated before saying, “We’re not sure what will happen when our lifespans are up. If you’re afraid, you can try walking through the white beam of light…”

“Damn it, that’s the same as saying nothing!”

“I’m wasting my time with you guys!”

Some ordinary people couldn’t stand it any longer and left, cursing as they went.

From the nearly thirty ordinary people gathered originally, after this commotion, the number dwindled significantly, leaving only six or seven who still felt it was better to stay with these special individuals.

Time ticked away, and the first group that had entered finally surpassed the 24-hour mark.

“Whoosh~!”

In an instant that took everyone by surprise, several bolts of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.

“Thump~”

Five thumping bodies hit the ground.

“They’re really dead…”

Ma Bond checked the bodies and confirmed they were dead beyond any hope of resuscitation.

The rest of the people turned pale. Among those who remained, other than Zhao Yu and his company people, there were only the four who had passed through the white beam of light.

As the 24 hours elapsed, the ordinary people were struck dead, signifying that when their time was up, they too would not escape death.

In this rule-class Spirit World invasion event, even though they were Spiritualists, they had no advantage over ordinary people.

Moreover, nobody present was confident they could dodge lightning like the one that had just struck.

“What do we do now?!”

“We have no choice but to participate in the game…”

Ma Bond sighed. Since becoming a Spiritualist, this was the first time he felt so helpless.

It made him feel as if he was back to his first Spirit World invasion, equally filled with trepidation.

“According to what they said, the game inside the white beam of light most likely involves competition, so, we should try not to go to the same game as much as possible…”

Ma Bond still hoped his teammates would not die here; after all, losing some ordinary people was more acceptable to him.

However, he planned to keep Zhao Yu by his side since he was a rule-class Spiritualist and his duty was to protect him.

“Wild Wolf, stay here at the passage. If we haven’t returned within the last hour, you head straight for the white beam of light…”
