During the plot mode, the entire Foundation is nearly at a standstill, with many important departments taking a holiday.
Ten days or eight days are bearable, but if it lasts for months, the loss to the Foundation would be too great.
Therefore, the entire test procedure actually lasts only ten days.
Moreover, it cannot be carried out in batches because once testing is done in batches, those who test later might guess the existence of the test and react differently.
Among the five safe camps, due to Wen Wen’s presence, Luan Xing’s camp is the most relaxed.
But now that Wen Wen has left, it will enter Hell mode, and within the next two days, everyone will die once.
Next, Wen Wen made a round of the other four camps and found that indeed Luan Xing’s group had the most remaining people, while the group with the fewest people was down to just two.
The group with two people hadn’t really encountered monsters that were hard to resist; it was mainly because of one person.
This person is named Ande, who, like Luan Xing, is a squad leader in the armed department. However, he was once a highly successful assassin in the Coding Organization.
Ande enjoyed being an assassin, liked the feeling of ending others’ lives, but since joining the Foundation, he rarely experienced that feeling again.
But during his time at the Foundation, he had been suppressing his instincts because he understood the power of the Foundation. He knew if he recklessly killed innocents in the armed department, he would definitely be killed by Wuma.
However, it’s different in this survival game; here, no one knows his identity, there are no legal constraints, no moral standards, like a paradise built specifically for him.
So after lying low for two days, Ande began to show his strength, killing a few who disobeyed him and using the remaining others as cannon fodder.
He observed that whether it was a Ferocious Beast or a Monster, a single attack would kill at most one or two people and wouldn’t annihilate them.
So he just had to ensure there was cannon fodder to sacrifice first, and he could hold out until the end.
But now Ande was also feeling uneasy because, after so much cannon fodder, there was only one left.
This cannon fodder was quite agile, which allowed him to survive till now, but compared to Ande, he was as defenseless as a sheep.
Ande thought this person would last until tomorrow at most, and after that, he would have to face the Monsters himself.
Suddenly, Ande saw a strange human figure crawling towards him in an odd posture.
How strange was the posture? Maybe walk a meter and the body would twist around two or three times, joints distorting unnaturally, the movements overall resembling a bizarre dance.
This person, of course, was Wen Wen, who planned to eliminate Ande early after learning of his actions.
As for the weird manner of approach, it was indeed to enhance some enjoyment.
Then instruct Wuma to ensure that in future missions, Ande suffers an accidental death due to a small ’lost item.’
Ande rubbed his eyes, based on previous experiences, there should be only one monster attack a day, and there was just one big insect earlier, so why another... peculiar entity?
Seeing the state of this peculiar entity, Ande knew he was a tough opponent, so he didn’t plan to confront Wen Wen, intending to run away, let this guy kill off the cannon fodder, and save himself.
But unexpectedly, the cannon fodder he had tied up had long since escaped and was waving at him from afar with a smile.
"Impossible, he couldn’t run faster than me unless... unless he was always holding back!"
The time left for Ande was running out; Wen Wen’s advancing manner seemed strange but wasn’t slow at all. Ande could only take a deep breath, fired several shots at Wen Wen, then switched to another handgun after emptying the magazine.
All the weapons in this safe camp were in Ande’s possession, so he had ample ammunition.
But Wen Wen remarkably dodged all the attacks with his peculiar stance.
As he got close enough, Ande was ready to swing a knife down, knowing that many Monsters seemed dreadfully terrifying, but actually, once fear was overcome, he, as a well-trained ordinary person, could hurt them.
But before he could swing the knife, he saw some eerie phantom shadows appear on Wen Wen’s face, causing him to instantly lose his mind.
Within those phantom shadows, he seemed to have turned into another person, repeatedly tortured and murdered by a faceless man in a suit.
After being killed and scared to death countless times, he suddenly felt intense pain, and then everything vanished.
He saw himself impaled on the ground by tree-root spears, his body hoisted in mid-air, but these spears weren’t lethal, and he could only wait for the blood to dry up and for death to come.
As Wen Wen left, he gave a deep, penetrating look at the cannon fodder, then turned around and left.
That cannon fodder was presumably a Foundation office worker; the records showed no training experience, but the burst of power he displayed a moment ago surpassed the combat level measured by Master Ye.
He must be a superpower user!
It seems this person should be a spy sent by the Hunter Association.
Yet Wen Wen didn’t rush to deal with him, although having a Hunter Association spy enter the Mirror Labyrinth plot mode was somewhat unexpected, it wasn’t hard to dispose of him.
Just convert him to his side would suffice, and Wen Wen hoped the Hunter Association would send more spies here, so he could develop more dual allegiance snitches.
After Wen Wen disappeared, Xiao Hua, the cannon fodder, wiped away a cold sweat.
The Hunter Association had long noticed the Foundation’s existence and naturally wouldn’t leave it unchecked, so Xiao Hua infiltrated the Foundation as a spy.
His mission is to collect criminal evidence against the Foundation, though not of ordinary crimes, otherwise the Foundation has plenty of legal violations, at least illegal firearms are unavoidable.
The crime Xiao Hua was tasked to investigate was whether the Foundation used its influence to perform any evil rituals.
But even after undercover for so long, Xiao Hua hadn’t found such events, until eight days ago he met Wen Wen and was given those mirrors.
Ordinary people couldn’t detect anything unusual with the mirrors, but he could sense some Exotic Energy entwined on them, and when the mirror beckoned him, he hesitated briefly and finally decided to take the risk and see, hence finding himself within this survival game.
Unlike others, he knew everything he experienced wasn’t truly happening, so he has been disguising himself as quite ordinary.
But upon seeing Wen Wen, his instinctive fear kicked in, so he couldn’t help but break free from the rope, making Ande the sacrifice.
