Devil's Playground

Chapter 44 Battle Royale

After waiting and waiting, it finally got dark, but it was so completely dark that not only the inside of the warehouse became invisible, but the outside of the vent was also too dark to see the ground.

"Can you go out now?" Yang Jin asked Liu Ke.

"Well, let's go." Rick flew out first.

Yang Jin jumped into the vent and slid down from there.As soon as he landed, before Yang Jin could stand still, a gust of wind came from above his head.Yang Jin dodged to the side subconsciously, and then there was a plop behind him, like a heavy object falling to the ground, followed by a muffled groan.

——By the way, there is another follower behind him.

Yang Jin turned around and found that the woman also jumped down, but her body was far less flexible than his, so she fell to the ground all of a sudden, and she didn't know if she was injured.

While waiting for the dark, Yang Jin already knew the woman's nickname—Azi.Perhaps because she was worried about Yang Jin's misunderstanding, the woman hurriedly explained after giving her nickname, saying that her Ah Zi was not taken from a certain martial arts novel, but a character in "The Tale of Genji".

——Where do you look like the purple one?

Although Yang Jin was not serious about studying, he read a lot, but he didn't think that this woman who couldn't see her face clearly had anything in common with that young girl of the cultivation department. Lily was more suitable for this than her. Names - if not personality.

But things like names have always been frowned upon by others, and Yang Jin is not interested in getting to know this woman whom he met by chance. He felt that it was his utmost benevolence to bring her out of the warehouse, and he didn’t want to reach out to help her when he saw her fall.

"Can you stand up?" Yang Jin asked casually.

AhZi didn't answer right away, she tried her best to move on the ground, and then she struggled to get up while replying: "...should...can..."

"Since it's okay, let's break up here." Yang Jin said indifferently.

"Ah!" Ah Zi was taken aback, as if she didn't expect Yang Jin to get rid of her so soon.

Yang Jin was not interested in talking to her, so he turned around and turned into another darker corner.

This area may be a storage area, surrounded by square buildings that are very close together, but there are only a few warehouses with lights flashing in front of them, most of the places are dark, and there are no guards.

The surrounding area of ​​the warehouse is dark and quiet, but the other end covered by the warehouse seems to have a different scene, with light and sound, which reminds Yang Jin of the night market in his hometown.

"Where should we go now?" Yang Jin knew that Ru Ke must be by his side, and asked while looking around.

"Always let me tell you the answer, isn't that too boring? Then it's up to you to decide, Contractor." Ruoke said in a tone, as if he was humming an aria, "You Don't worry, no matter what, I will guard by your side and do my duty."

—I really don't know what obligations you have to me!

Yang Jin clearly remembered the so-called contract signed between them.In that contract, there is actually only one obligation they need to fulfill - Yang Jin needs to offer the soul stone when summoning, and Rick cannot refuse the summon after accepting the soul stone.

It was this contract that made Yang Jin feel helpless no matter how upset he was with Liu Ke. Now that Liu Ke was going on strike justifiably, he could only use his brain to think about the next way out.

"By the way!" Before Yang Jin could clear his mind, Ruoke clapped his hands again, "You guys should have accepted a follow-up mission after you left Strange Island, right? That mission will give you a pair of glasses, did you get them?"

"So what if you get it?" Yang Jin flipped his hands and took out the goggle-like detector.

"It can be used as a night vision device, allowing you to see the 'surroundings' clearly in the dark." Rick deliberately bit the last two words.

——Is there such an effect?

Yang Jin immediately put the detector on his head, and tried to adjust it with mental strength.

Soon, the surrounding scenery became clear. Although the color was still dim, the material and shape were clearly displayed in front of Yang Jin's eyes.

After taking a closer look, Yang Jin found that the warehouses around him were very simple, just like a pile of cardboard boxes turned upside down.If he hadn't seen those bald weapons before, he would have thought he was sent to a backward world with underdeveloped technology.

Yang Jin turned his head and looked in the direction he came from.The woman who claimed to be Ah Zi had disappeared without a trace, and there was no trace of anyone moving or hiding around, which made Yang Jin's heart tighten, and vaguely felt that he might have underestimated this woman.

But even if time goes back, Yang Jin doesn't want to act with a strange woman.

The same kind in the game field is very dangerous. This point was repeatedly mentioned in the contract book that was read out when he was reborn. Lin Yu and the others have been explaining the same thing to him with practical actions.Although Yang Jin has been playing the role of a passerby beside Lin Yu, his eyes and ears are always active, silently observing every move of the people around him.Yang Jin had noticed long ago that neither Lin Yu nor Qiao had much contact with other people, and even Lily, who seemed to have a lot of contacts, was not very close to people other than them.When Joe proposed cooperation, Lily also specifically emphasized that she did not want this small group to expand wantonly.

——Trust is the most scarce resource in this world.

When he found himself facing this battle royale alone, Yang Jin reminded himself from time to time.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Jin turned his attention back to what he needed to do more—find a place to hide before dawn.

—Where can I go?

For a moment, Yang Jin really wanted to go back to the warehouse and hide there for a month.But reason immediately told him that it might not be safe there. The bald head left, and the rabbit head might come back. He is not Yang Daxia who can sleep on the rope, and he cannot eat and live on the beam for a whole month.

——Wait, what did Rick's previous words seem to imply?

Yang Jin hurriedly raised his head and re-observed his surroundings, and quickly noticed that this place did not seem to be a city, the warehouse was already the tallest building nearby, and there were no tall buildings in the distance.

——What the hell is this place? !

Yang Jin vaguely understood Ru Ke's hint, and immediately adjusted his mentality and acted, watching the surroundings through the goggles while walking carefully in the dark.

The security around the warehouse is not strict. Even if there are guards, they are mostly the kind of dereliction of duty, either gathering together to chat, or hiding somewhere to sleep.

Yang Jin easily avoided the lights and checkpoints and came to the outside of the warehouse.

There was indeed light there.

Not far from the warehouse, a camp like a small western town loomed in sight.The reason why Yang Jin thinks it is a camp rather than a town is mainly because the buildings there are as crude as the warehouses here, and there are fewer of them. to another place.

There are lights in each bungalow, and there is a pillar in the middle of the camp, with a constantly rotating searchlight hanging on it, which at first glance looks like a lighthouse.There are not many "people" in and out of the camp, and most of them are rude and fierce. The few who are not so rude and fierce are women with big breasts and wide buttocks—or females, which makes people feel that this place is a gathering of servants. The selling gold cave for soldiers and women.

Yang Jin didn't dare to get too close, and cautiously retracted his body into the darkness, continuing to observe his surroundings.

Looking at it, Yang Jin felt that there was a sense of disobedience in the camp, but he couldn't find the source of the disharmony for a while.

——What's wrong?

Yang Jin didn't know where to start, so he tried hard to recall the plot of the western movie, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration——

— By the way, horse!

Yang Jin suddenly realized.

Although this is not a real western town, and these humanoid guys in front of them are not western cowboys, but they also need to use transportation to get in and out here.During the day, those bald men used flatbed trucks to move the cages containing humans out of the warehouse, but at this moment, Yang Jin didn't find anything resembling a vehicle in the camp.

—Where did those vehicles go?

Yang Jin looked around again, and soon found that the objects in the distance were a bit strange, just like the side effect of Qiao's invisibility technique, there was a zigzag feeling of seeing objects through the water.

Yang Jin turned around in a circle, and after confirming that the effect was the same no matter which direction he looked at, he simply turned around and walked towards the other end of the warehouse.

Liu Ke did not stop him, which made Yang Jin believe that even if his suspicion was in the wrong direction, it would not bring him any danger.

After more than ten minutes, Yang Jin came to the other end far away from the camp.There was no light here, and Yang Jin didn't look for any shelter, and walked out in a straight line.

——It would be great if we could escape all the way smoothly.

Yang Jin thought this way, but he also knew that no game field would be so simple and beautiful.

Sure enough, just after he walked less than ten meters, Ruoke's voice sounded again, "If I were you, I would choose to stop."

Yang Jin hurriedly stopped, and asked suspiciously, "What's ahead?"

"What do you say? Contractor, is the detector on your head malfunctioning?" Liu Ke asked instead.

—Well, it looks like there is something there.

Yang Jin sighed, mobilized his mental strength, and turned on the detection function that had been canceled because of obstructing the line of sight.

Immediately, a stream of light flashed on the lens, and a string of markings came into view——

"Barometric Light Curtain: A large life-support device used to create the air pressure and gravity used by living things, usually in oxygen-poor and weightless conditions."

Seeing this string of markings, Yang Jin immediately remembered the defensive light curtain they had seen on the strange island, and simply pulled the goggles to his forehead to observe the front more intuitively.

There was indeed something there, which led to the refraction of the light, making the scene at the other end blurry. If he didn't stop, he would definitely collide with that thing.

Yang Jin didn't know what the consequences of colliding with that thing would be. What made him more concerned at the moment was the conditions of use of this "air pressure light curtain" and the world outside the light curtain.

It was very dark outside the light curtain, there was no moon, no stars, and no topography could be seen.

- Nothing can be seen, as if nothing exists.

Yang Jin took a deep breath and pulled the goggles back over his eyes.

The world under the goggles was no different from what he saw without the goggles, because there was nothing there at all—no buildings, no roads, no mountains, no trees, it was as desolate as a place Dead desert.But at least there is oxygen in the desert, which can be breathed, and here I am afraid that even oxygen does not exist.

"Hey, can I really 'escape' out?!" Yang Jin asked angrily.
