Chapter 357: Chapter 356: Victims Behind the Holographic Reality Show, Part 9

[Ah Chen is on that little hill, I’m absolutely sure she’s just watching the commotion!]

Ah Chen is indeed watching the commotion, seeing Wen Chulin looking like he’s given up, she knows what the other party is planning.

She chuckles softly, not bothering with him.

No matter how hard he pretends, he can’t hold it forever; she will send him a big gift. The happier he pretends today, the more shocking it will be when he is exposed tomorrow.

Meanwhile, He Guiyun, Jie Weiwei, and others are calming down the noisy crowd.

The middle-aged man with a limp says he can give out half of his water daily but needs food in exchange.

The eight-year-old girl Wu Xinxin, who he keeps by his side, has the same conditions.

Wu Xinxin seems scared by others and feels Yan Jie isn’t a bad person, so she listens to him obediently.

Despite the dissatisfaction of others, facing Yan Jie’s fierce demeanor, they really don’t dare to do anything; just a moment ago when it was noisy, he somehow found a steel bar to hold, which was quite intimidating.

Li Na and Mo Xue, seeing Yan Jie’s response, also decided they can give out half daily, intending to directly exchange it with He Guiyun for food. How those ice blocks are distributed is their business; they’re essentially passing the buck to He Guiyun and others.

Liao Jiaying did not express her opinion; she obviously intends to keep her water for herself and her grandson, and she hasn’t even had a sip today.

He Guiyun and the others felt uncomfortable being watched by the parched crowd, even though the prompt in their mind kept ringing, they started to doubt it.

The fact showed they thought correctly; past midnight, those extremely thirsty people stayed awake, staring fixedly at those awakened with Ice and Water Abilities.

Except for Liao Jiaying, the rest distributed as they said.

Liao Jiaying instead gave most of the water to Ling Yao and drank a little herself.

During the daytime food distribution, she also didn’t hesitate to take her and Ling Yao’s share, causing dissatisfaction among many. Unable to confront the fierce old lady Liao Jiaying, they went to complain to the college students He Guiyun and friends.

The ice that arrived in Wen Chulin’s hands was snatched away again.

“You’re really not trying to survive, are you?” Rong Man asked.

Wen Chulin raised his head, glanced at her, and then buried his head again.

Rong Man didn’t say more; she was struggling herself, who cares about him. As for the prompt in their mind, she didn’t believe it much anymore.

Especially on the third day, when someone drove their car away, disbelief grew, as it contained all their food.

In such an environment, would kindness have good returns? Rong Man didn’t believe it anymore.

Others didn’t believe it either.

Wen Chulin saw their reaction, simply smiled; see, this was the reason he wanted to give them the hint earlier.

The program group’s pitfall approach, even if the senior didn’t turn into a zombie and left, their behaviors would be similar, and viewers would likely understand their actions, right?

Ever since the food-loaded car was driven away, He Guiyun lost patience; he was essentially a spoiled rich kid, and once he threw in the towel, the old, young, and disabled were stunned, and they began pointing fingers and cursing at him.

He Guiyun sneered, beckoning to Jie Weiwei and others: “Couldn’t care less about them, let’s go.”

Liao Jiaying was the loudest, sitting on the ground crying and cursing, sounding somewhat pitiful, yet viewers found her quite annoying.

At that moment, countless mutated creatures arrived, about to encircle them.

The crowd became chaotic, screamed, and fled.

He Guiyun and the others quickly drove out of the encirclement, as for those surrounded ones behind, no one mentioned going back to rescue them.

Liao Jiaying couldn’t drive and was amidst the crowd with her grandson, quickly submerged by the mutated creatures.

Yan Jie could drive, plus he reacted quickly, immediately driving away with Wu Xinxin from encirclement.

Wen Chulin didn’t overestimate his abilities to earn a better image by rescuing others; everyone chose like this, following the crowd would not be wrong.

Though escaping the mutated creatures’ encirclement, they weren’t safe; on the road, they still faced numerous attacks.

The program group already began voting, letting viewers vote whether they should awaken abilities to face the crisis.

Although the previous scene was brutal, those people were indeed annoying, and everyone felt their choices were perfectly normal.

The viewers voted for all these guests to awaken abilities, and they also warned the program group not to employ any more shady tricks.

The program group said that the previous incident was accidental, possibly due to numerical errors; this time would be proper abilities for sure.

They deployed a group of bullies first, planning to let the guests awaken abilities at this critical moment.

Abandoning others was acceptable, but Wen Chulin definitely wouldn’t abandon classmates who “traveled” to this world with him at this moment.

Therefore, upon encountering a crisis, he immediately stood up to help, and in an instant awakened Wind Ability; using it, with a wave of his hand, a set of Wind Blades flew out, slicing through those mutated plants and saving Jie Weiwei who was just entangled.

Others who initially wanted to flee on their own also paused, looking pleasantly surprised at Wen Chulin.

Without time to ask, they too instantly awakened abilities, and together they managed to resolve the mutated plants entirely.

Lu Yu was a zombie, naturally without abilities, but also could upgrade, his power increasing.

The other six awakened Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind abilities, as if they had everything, and very powerful too, the days ahead would be much easier.

Li Na and Mo Xue were worried their minor abilities seemed useless, fortunately, the group didn’t abandon them, still taking them along.

Proceeding surprisingly smoothly thereafter, ever since awakening abilities, each time they earnestly dealt with mutated creatures and rescued people, their abilities increased rapidly.

This made He Guiyun and the others wonder whether this was related to the hint in their mind after all.

Actually it was, viewers “rewarded” them.

[The damn program group doesn’t act human, but I’ll pamper them.]

[Poor Junior Wen, he’s always so gloomy every day, too pitiful, I can only spend some money to help you upgrade faster.]

Wen Chulin understood it should be the interactive influence by viewers, which made things slightly better, undoubtedly good.

Though he looked ready to drop dead anytime, each time he exerted effort rescuing people.

No need for him to over-explain, viewers would automatically interpret his actions as all for Senior Bei Chen.

[Something’s wrong, have you noticed anything? They haven’t encountered any zombies for quite a while!]

[Your mention just reminded me, indeed, recently it’s all kinds of mutated creatures, no zombies at all.]

[What’s going on?]

[What the hell! Hurry, look over at Bei Chen’s side.]

Ah Chen is inside a city, standing on a plaza’s high point, below are zombies neatly arranged, each washed clean, dressed cleanly too, aside from looking unpleasantly, appearing human.

[What’s going on?]

[Damn, program group, do you have a playback? Damn, suddenly forgot there’s Bei Chen, what’s she up to?]

Program group: They’re bewildered too.

There’s playback, but it requires some time to restore, needs the Wen Family’s technical personnel to assist.

The Wen Family’s technical people were informed of this matter, processing it, also wanting to know what Bei Chen did.

“Have you noticed something,” Yun Rou suddenly spoke, “recently we haven’t encountered zombies.”

Upon that sentence, everyone’s scalp tingled.
