After dinner, everyone didn’t immediately retire to their rooms, after all, it was too stifling inside compared to the openness outside.

Everyone was casually chatting and packing their belongings. Teacher Chang rummaged through the car and found some expired food. He looked pained as he threw them away.

Tan Xiao, however, seemed relatively cheerful, reassuring him, “Autumn is just around the corner, so the corn and grain must be ripe by now. We can just pick up a bag from the village, that should be enough for us, there are fruit trees on the mountains, and fish in the water, we won’t starve!”

Teacher Chang asked, “But what about winter?”

Tan Xiao was expected to say that we need to gather more supplies for the winter but seemed like he hadn’t considered this at all. After a pause, he simply replied, “Let’s focus on surviving until winter.”

Despite the seemingly tragic nature of his statement, somehow Tan Xiao made everyone burst into laughter.

Scratching his head, Tan Xiao joined in the laughter, looking adorably clueless.

Chang Weicai shook his head and sighed, “I’m worrying unnecessarily. The real challenges that lie ahead are the maze and the game. If we can’t overcome these, having more food is pointless.”

Mentioning the maze made Shen Mo recall the five-member team they had encountered earlier.

“When I went out earlier, a group came out of the maze. Based on their appearance, the difficulty of the maze here might not be too high.”

Bai Youwei curiously asked, “Why do you say that?”

Shen MO explained, “They had a jeep, and there were five people in it. That car can only accommodate a maximum of five people.”

“What’s the problem with five people?” Tan Xiao didn’t understand.

Bai Youwei said, “If five people go in, and five people come out, that means they exited the maze without casualties, so it seems the difficulty isn’t too high

Tan Xiao suddenly realized, “Oh….”

“It’s not like there were no injuries, one of the women was hurt,” Shen MO paused, then added, “They had a gun.”

(Note: Words like gun, explosion, bomb, and bullet can’t be written or else the chapter will be blocked, separators don’t work either.)

“Could you tell what kind of injury it was?” Bai Youwei asked.

Shen MO shook his head lightly, “I was too far away to see clearly, but I heard them say that they wasted one item because of it. I guess there might be some danger in the maze, but since the five of them survived, we should be able to handle it.”

“I thought we weren’t allowed to bring weapons into the game?” Tan Xiao asked again.

“The maze and the game are not the same,” Chang Weicai replied, then muttered to himself, “if only we could ask them about the conditions inside the maze.”

“Are you kidding me!” Tan Xiao widened his eyes, “They have guns, so what happens if they decide to shoot us?”

“We shouldn’t rashly approach them since we don’t know their intentions,”

Teacher Chang waved his hand dismissively, “I was just voicing my thoughts…”

“Even if we did ask them, there’s no guarantee they’d tell us the truth.” Bai Youwei tilted her lips up in a sneer, “They might even deceive us.”

Teacher Chang still held onto the belief that unity was strength, “If everyone only cares about collecting their puzzle pieces, when will the puzzle be complete? As long as the puzzle is not complete, the game won’t be fully cleared. Just like the saying, one thousand people united have the power of one thousand, but ten thousand people disagreeing have the value of none.”

“Unfortunately, this is a paradox,” Bai Youwei laughed, “For collecting, of course, the more, the merrier. But each puzzle piece grants one immunity.

That means no one wants to share unless they’ve already used their immunity.”

Shen MO hesitated, “If we could collect those used puzzle pieces…”

Bai Youwei’s eyes lit up as she understood him, “That would make things much easier, wouldn’t it?”
