Survival Game? But She's Already Slaughtered the Entire Server - chapter 41

Chapter 41

Ruan Tian’s words truly startled everyone present.

(꒪⌓꒪)

Everyone looked at her with an expression of disbelief.

Was it really this hasty?

Wasn’t the normal procedure to interrogate them first-ask who they were, why they came here, and who was behind them?

Where was the process?

How did she just jump straight to the conclusion?

Even 001 wore the same expression ᓫ(°⌑°)ǃ

Good news: the Host really follows the game rules.

Bad news: it doesn’t do her much good.

001 was bewildered.

Li Huainan said nothing, simply gave the group a look that told them to behave themselves.

At first, the big men were a bit flustered, but seeing that Ruan Tian didn’t make any further moves, they gradually calmed down.

She must be bluffing, trying to shake their resolve and get them to talk.

They couldn’t let her have her way.

They’d been out of contact for a whole night; Big Brother would surely notice something was wrong and send someone to rescue them.

They just needed to hold out.

Yes, that’s right. That’s the way.

A group of big men comforted themselves like this.

……

Until Gangzi appeared at the gate of Ruan Tian’s small courtyard, driving his three-wheeled vehicle.

He politely rang the doorbell and tidied up his clothes.

Today was his first official day on the job, and he wanted to make a good impression.

To ensure Ruan Tian’s comfort, he had upgraded the back seat of his three-wheeler overnight, replacing the hard plastic stool with a thick, soft cushioned chair. He even adjusted the angle of the backrest several times and tied a small table to the side to guarantee her comfort.

Li Huainan led Gangzi into the living room. Seeing the room full of big men, Gangzi’s eyelid twitched-he suddenly had a bad feeling.

The ingratiating smile remained on his face: “Sister Ruan, did you call me for something?”

Ruan Tian lifted her chin, casually swept her gaze over the group of big men in the living room, and said indifferently, “Take this group out of the city, collect their backpacks, but don’t keep the people.”

Gangzi: “······”

His smile almost faltered, barely holding it together: “Sister, just me alone?”

Starting off this big?

Any accomplices? He was scared.

He was just a guy who drove a three-wheeler-he couldn’t handle something this major.

(ಥ﹏ಥ)

Ruan Tian seemed to understand his concerns and said considerately, “Don’t worry, I’ll break their hands and feet in a bit, so they won’t be able to resist.”

Gangzi: “……”

Was this really about whether they resisted or not?

Everyone: “·····”

Where did this Living King of Hell come from?

The big men finally couldn’t keep up the act.

They sat up in shock from their deathbeds.

“Sister, we know we were wrong. Please forgive us this once. Whatever you want to know, we’ll tell you.”

“Sister, it was Zhang Wang who sent us. We’re just a bunch of small fry, following his orders, just trying to make a living.”

“Yes, Sister, we have elders and children to care for. We really know we were wrong. Please spare us.”

“Sister, we’re willing to give you everything in our backpacks. Just let us live.”

“······”

The group spoke over each other in a chaotic chorus, spilling everything about Zhang Wang, every word a heartfelt plea for life, full of sincerity.

Ruan Tian was principled: “No, you can’t rob inside the Main City.”

“To be safe, it’s better to take you out of the city and deal with you there.”

Seeing a glimmer of hope, someone in the crowd immediately said, “Pah, who’s robbing? We’re offering it to Sister Ruan of our own accord, as a sign of respect. It’s voluntary, how could you call it robbery?”

“That’s right. Being able to give our things to Sister Ruan is our honor, our pride, our pleasure.”
“·········”

The others chimed in noisily, all agreeing at once.

Li Huainan’s mouth twitched.

Wait, where did all your backbone go just now, guys?

Everyone: Fed it to the dogs.

Ruan Tian rested her chin on her hand, silent, communicating with 001 in her mind.

“Doesn’t this count as robbing?”

[001: ……]

Actually, forcing or coercing someone to hand over supplies does count as robbing.

But then it thought, if it said yes, she’d have to drag people outside the city to rob and then kill them. The result would be the same.

Others might not be able to do such things, but Ruan Tian really would.

With her as a precedent, if other players started copying her, wouldn’t Zone 8888 descend into chaos?

The Main System had instructed it that rules should be more flexible when it came to Ruan Tian.

001 immediately answered seriously:

“Host, it doesn’t count. Both sides are on good terms, and the exchange is voluntary. It’s not robbery.”

Supplies can be found again, but if you lose your life, it’s really over.

How is this not voluntary?

“Oh, that’s good. Saves me the trouble.”

Everyone stared at Ruan Tian, because she hadn’t given her answer yet. They didn’t even dare to breathe, feeling like their hearts were being fried in hot oil-utterly tormented.

“All right then, take out everything you’ve got.”

Seeing Ruan Tian relent, the group collectively let out a sigh of relief.

Oh my god, their lives were safe for now.

Gangzi also breathed a long sigh of relief.

If he really had to drag a group of people outside the city to kill, within a day, he’d definitely become famous in the zone.

Besides, these people had said it themselves-they were Zhang Wang’s men, and Zhang Wang was notorious for being ruthless.

He’d just blatantly slapped Zhang Wang in the face. If Zhang Wang found out, would Sister Ruan be in trouble? He didn’t know.

But as for himself, that was another story.

There’s a saying-

If you can’t deal with the ones above, you can always take it out on the ones below.

He didn’t think a few rides together would be enough for Ruan Tian to guarantee his safety. He was at least self-aware about that.

Li Huainan untied them.

The big men, whose arms had been dislocated, struggled to take out their things, grimacing in pain. Even so, they didn’t slow down, dumping everything from their backpacks in one go.

All sorts of food, Weapon Cards, daily necessities, unopened White Treasure Chests-miscellaneous items piled up into a small mountain.

Li Huainan and Gangzi sorted the items.

Ruan Tian glanced over, her gaze immediately locking onto a piece of strawberry cake in the food pile.

It was palm-sized, topped with a shiny red strawberry and delicate cream-just looking at it made her hungry.

Ruan Tian swallowed imperceptibly and said to Li Huainan, “That one, give it to me.”

Li Huainan smiled and handed her the little cake.

Ruan Tian didn’t eat it, but put it away in her backpack.

Li Huainan looked at the table full of supplies and nodded in satisfaction. For the next half month, they wouldn’t have to worry about food.

Finding supplies was always faster when you did it this way.

Seeing that Ruan Tian wasn’t going to let them off, someone in the crowd decisively switched sides…

Pfft…

No, it was turning to the light.

“Sis, we’re just ordinary players. If we hadn’t been forced, we wouldn’t be working for Zhang Wang.”

“Yeah, Sis, I really do have elders and kids to take care of. If I die, they won’t survive either.”

“……”

Ruan Tian’s gaze fell on their faces, calm as deep water. There was no sharp edge to it, but it seemed to see through all their thoughts.
