People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 932: Chapter 113: Soaring Difficulty_4

As the shadow departed, Zhao Yu began to ponder its speed.

“According to the rules, it shouldn’t be so fast, so it must be something I did that caused its speed to increase…”

“The first possibility is that its speed increases after catching a mouse…”

“The second possibility, its speed increases after locking onto a mouse…”

Compared to the first possibility, Zhao Yu felt the second one was more likely, which meant that he couldn’t always remain within the shadow’s field of view; he needed to find a way to avoid being seen.

Elsewhere, two men running frantically stopped in their tracks after hearing a girl’s scream.

“Wenbo, you’re not really a cat, are you?” the man running in the front asked breathlessly.

“Nonsense, didn’t we agree to cooperate after entering…” the man chasing from behind rolled his eyes, “I saw you shouting in the open field while the cat was nowhere to be seen, so I thought I’d play along to make the real cat show itself…”

“If I hadn’t chased you, how would you have run when the real cat appeared?”

“However, looking at it now, the cat must have been in the teaching building behind us just now; we just need to stay as far away from there as possible…”

From the relationship between the two men, it was clear they knew each other; the pursuit was merely a performance for the others.

This ruse could lead others to believe the cat was here, lowering their guard and ultimately leading to their capture, which would increase their survival time.

Moreover, the one playing the role of the cat among the two could even scare other ordinary people into thinking they had encountered the cat, thereby causing them to take a wrong route.

Zhao Yu hid inside the teaching building, watching secretly.

Roughly every ten minutes, a scream would ring out across the campus.

Yet the shadow, or rather, the cat, had not come looking for Zhao Yu again, indicating that his previous tactic had been effective.

An hour passed quickly.

Accompanied by the sound of the game ending notification.

Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, then asked the scene, “Am I handsome?”

A few seconds later, there was a massive surge of spiritual power feedback.

Indeed, these spirit ghosts had no resistance.

Zhao Yu sighed in relief. His spiritual power hadn’t recovered much, and if the spirit ghosts had had any resistance, a backlash would have killed him.

When Zhao Yu appeared outside the game setting, four people were already standing there.

“Nine are dead…”

Zhao Yu looked around and realized two of the four people were the ones acting in the playground.

Indeed…

He looked at them intently for a moment, then turned and left.

In such circumstances, morals were useless; only those without a bottom line could survive longer.

Returning near the vortex channel, the number of returning employees had decreased.

This showed that even powerful Spiritualists could perish in these games.

Compared to before, employees were no longer as relaxed; after all, their colleagues, who had been fine before, had now vanished or died, and misfortune could strike anyone.

Luckily, the nearby convenience store had plenty of food, and after everyone replenished their energy, they sought places to rest.

Another day passed, and a blue light again shone from the distance.

“A four-star game has appeared…”

“Who exactly is getting through these?”

Zhao Yu was also puzzled at this moment.

Even someone as strong as Captain Wu was hesitant to try tier-three games after finding out that the vortex channel didn’t lead back; he only dared to navigate between one-star and two-star games.

Yet now, the difficulty of the games had reached four stars, indicating that someone had cleared a tier-three game.

“It could be a wild Spiritualist…”

Captain Wu made his judgment.

The others looked puzzled.

Captain Wu explained, “Not all Spiritualists are in the company…”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Some spirit world invasions occur in very remote areas. By the time the company’s people arrive, the event is over, and some people become Spiritualists without joining the company…”

“Actually, there are quite a few people like this. Some were recruited by the company later on, while others disappeared without a trace…”

“There was a legend a hundred years ago that Spiritualists formed various civilian organizations and were quietly developing…”

Compared to the company’s righteousness, these civilian organizations had no regard for such and harbored various motives.

“We still don’t know the strength of the other party, so try to avoid high-difficulty game scenarios as much as possible…”

Captain Wu was cautious and valued his life, not intending to delve into the existence of wild Spiritualists beyond the company.

After all, his willingness to accept the task of protecting Zhou Zhenghua was partly driven by his love for money, but it also stemmed from his sense of self-preservation.

In that moment, the company’s people seemed more like supporting roles, while the person continuously clearing levels seemed like the main character.

Meanwhile, back in the human world, the monitoring center discovered that the range of the spirit world invasion at the amusement park had expanded and was starting to randomly select humans from all over the city to participate.

Most astonishingly, the level of spiritual power fluctuation had skyrocketed to the peak of the beginner level of second tier.

When the news reached Yan City and Zhou’s mother’s ears, Zhou’s booming voice could be heard all over the Yan City base.

“How do you handle things, allowing a tier-one newbie to participate in such a mission?”

“Are you all blind?”

In the Yan City base, nobody dared to contradict the booming voice of Zhou’s mother.

After all, the Zhou family had a very high status and power in Yan City.

“Tier 3 now…”

Just then, someone sent back a message, stating that the energy level in the amusement park had reached tier 3.
