Chapter 715: Chapter 715: The Call of the Plastic Sisters
Bai Youwei and Shen Mo left the rest hall and returned to the Headquarters Building.
They essentially advanced by eliminating one of their own, so they didn’t have a real understanding of the content and mechanism of the official campaign game, nor had anything to talk about. Therefore, after returning, they only had brief conversations with Chu Huaijin before they went back to their rooms to rest.
Shen Mo took out game materials related to the ball, sat on the sofa to peruse them.
Bai Youwei, on the other hand, took out a map, laid on her bed, and studied where to “occupy” next would be most suitable.
Currently, she had a lot of surplus puzzles, which she could use to expand her territory.
Even though she was not interested in saving the world, she had to admit that, the more cities were recovered, the faster all kinds of industry supplies would bounce back, and the living conditions in the base would improve accordingly.
For instance, if she were to “occupy” coastal areas, the fishing industry would be revived, and a variety of fruits and seafood would be transported continuously.
Bai Youwei was measuring and marking the map, carefully planning. She didn’t notice when Shen Mo came over. He lifted his long arm, his fingers reached over from behind and pointed at a position on the map:
“This place won’t do. Someone’s already taken it.”
“Someone’s taken it?” Bai Youwei paused, “I didn’t notice. Who took it?”
Shen Mo replied, “That guy with the white gloves. He placed two puzzle pieces around here.”
Mentioning the man with the white gloves, Bai Youwei felt incredibly uneasy, she frowned and muttered: “I really don’t want to encounter people like him in the game.”
In the preliminaries, when the man with the white gloves emerged from the game, he was bloody all over. It was other people’s blood. Not a single player in his team made it out.
Shen Mo recalled and said, “His first campaign choice was Campaign 5, the same as Yan Qingwen. I wonder if they’ll meet… ”
“I hope they don’t meet.” Bai Youwei puckered her lips, “If they meet, I hope Yan would swiftly defeat him, so we don’t have to encounter him afterward.”
Shen Mo laughed, “Are you scared of him?”
“Not scared…” Bai Youwei rubbed her arms, “I just feel very uncomfortable. Don’t you think he’s bizarre? Seems like he’s not quite right in the head… With other players, you could either engage in a battle of wits or strength, but with him… Nevermind, perhaps he will be eliminated in the first round.”
Shen Mo thought for a moment and acquiesced, “Indeed, anything can happen in the game.”
Thus, they dropped the topic, not mentioning it again, and solely focused on preparing for the next campaign.
A month was more than enough time.
Bai Youwei thought she simply had to wait patiently for the arrival of the campaign next month, yet she didn’t expect events to unfold the very next morning.
She was having breakfast with Shen Mo, Mr. Cheng, Tan Xiao, and Pan Xiaoxin, having scrambled eggs, sausages, mushroom soup, and vegetarian buns.
Suddenly, she heard a voice next to her ear: “Weiwei!”
It was Zhu Shu’s voice.
Bai Youwei almost thought she was hearing things, her mind blanking for a full two seconds. Afterward, she noticed the plastic flower hairpin flying out from her canvas bag! It flew right in front of her!
Zhu Shu’s voice was much clearer, “Weiwei!”
Bai Youwei instinctively picked up the hairpin.
Zhu Shu’s cry for help instantly floated into her mind, asking her if she could provide help now.
Shen Mo asked, “What’s wrong?”
Bai Youwei blinked blankly, looking at Shen Mo: “Zhu Shu… seems to be calling me for help.”
“Something’s happened to Yan Qingwen?” Shen Mo asked.
Zhu Shu and Yan Qingwen were together, so if something happened to Zhu Shu, it probably meant something had happened to Yan Qingwen as well.
“I’m not clear on it yet…” Bai Youwei hesitated, “The message only told me that the other possessor of the item, Zhu Shu, needed my help, asking if I’d like to head over. If I agree, I have to wear the hairpin. If I refuse, I crush the hairpin.”
As she spoke, she held the hairpin and tentatively clipped it into her hair —
Without any warning, the scene suddenly changed, and she appeared on the sofa in a strange room, and right in front of her, Zhu Shu and Su Man were looking at her!
