Chapter 370 True Despair

Time is the ladder of growth.

Zhou Di and Zhao Shilei gradually got along well with each other. After going through many levels and scenes, even the weak and timid Zhao Shilei matured a lot, and was able to stand on his own in the end.

They got the card ring.

Afterwards, they found their respective career cards.

In addition, there are some other fellow memory collectors around me.

Most people are emotional creatures.

Zhou Di and Zhao Shilei are no exception.

After experiencing many life and death moments, the hearts of the two people slowly grew closer. One day, the natural hand-holding and logical confession of love brought the relationship between the two people to a new level.

Although the level scenes were still dangerous and scary, Zhou Di felt that it was the happiest time in his memory.

It even exceeded what he thought was the time when he had a crush on a goddess in college.

"Actually, it's good to keep going like this." One night, Zhou Di hugged his lover in his arms and said gently.

"Aren't you waiting for Luo Xi anymore? Aren't you planning to break out of this cage?" Zhao Shilei said with a smile.

"Luo Xi, huh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that we have known each other for more than a hundred days, but this guy has never shown up. Now I'm not sure if he will come, and I feel that it's good for him not to come."

"Why? Depressed?"

"I am so happy that I don't want to leave."

"Don't give me that. I don't know you. What you say is completely different from what you think. But to be honest, I also want to know the secrets behind all this, such as the cycle of days and this confined place." Zhao Shilei's voice suddenly became a little sad.

"In fact, even if Luo Xi doesn't come, we can investigate by ourselves. What's more, we are strong and have a lot of manpower now." Zhou Di said with pride in his tone.

"Speaking of this, I always feel that there is something wrong with the people who recently joined our team." Zhao Shilei was talking about her intuition.

There are many level scenes, and in many initial scenes, some people will randomly obtain the memory of the previous cycle day. They need to find a way to obtain the [memory] by themselves, and then slowly survive and explore this mysterious and dangerous world.

Therefore, some people who recall memories will inevitably be born.

Moreover, these people who have restored their memories have truly "broken their way out" by relying on their own strength.

In every aspect, they are the elite among humans.

This is the meaning of the launch of 'Mr. D'.

Humans are creatures that live in groups, so the Memory Collectors will naturally gather together.

Zhao Shilei was talking about a few new members of Shiyi who had joined. The other party was a small group of about six people. The leader was a man called Chu Yu. He appeared to be kind and good at talking, but he was also very decisive in doing things. He could even be called ruthless, especially the few people who followed him, each of them was loyal to him.

Many times, the other party simply ignored the orders of Zhou Di and Zhao Shilei and only listened to Chu Yu.

This creates a very unstable factor in the internal system.

Moreover, some people in the team noticed that these people seemed to have some plans, and secretly told Zhao Shilei about it.

Zhao Shilei is a woman and is very sensitive to some things, so she has this kind of worry.

"I also feel that they seem to have some plans, but they should only have ideas about the distribution of benefits. This is not surprising. Everyone is selfish. Although Chu Yu is very good at winning people's hearts, he is still very efficient when doing things. Capable people always have different ways of doing things and personalities from others." Zhou Di said seriously at this time.

"I'm just afraid that they might be hiding something from us," Zhao Shilei said more directly.

"Don't worry, I will arrange people to keep an eye on them." Zhou Di believed that his layout was very safe, and even if the people below had some ideas, it would not be a big problem.

Chu Yu’s men, at most, number no more than ten.

And he has more than thirty people who can recall memories under his command.

Whether it is the number of masters or the number of cards, it is overwhelming.

But obviously, he still underestimated the cruelty of the "internal struggle".

Especially those who can fight their way out of dangerous checkpoints with their own strength without relying on anyone else.

Even though Zhou Di and Zhao Shilei have experienced hundreds of cycles, they are still two simple students in essence.

But some people are not.

"There are three levels to explore this time, namely 'Abandoned Underground Maze', 'Haunted House at Dusk' and 'Underground Garage'. Our team is divided into three groups to explore the scenes at the same time."

In a building, there were more than forty people who recalled memories in front of Zhou Di.

This team initially consisted of only him and Zhao Shilei, but after more than a hundred cycles, it has grown to this size.

It is still a great sense of accomplishment for the two people who built this team.

They have already figured out a set of procedures for level scenes.

In unknown level scenes, a small number of Memory Collectors will be sent as 'scouts' to explore. Basically, it is impossible to pass the level in this situation, but it is just a way to get more intelligence before death.

All scenario intelligence will be concentrated in the analysis group to conduct scenario analysis and deduction, and provide plans and methods for specific strategy scenarios.

Only after being somewhat confident will we send more people to carry out the attack according to the plan.

The process of conquering this level scene usually takes about three cycles. A few difficult ones may take up to five cycles, and there are also some that cannot be conquered even after seven cycles.

Generally, for this kind of extremely difficult scene, you need to further evaluate whether it is worth continuing to attack.

After all, they had to consider the team's card inventory, expenditure and output, which needed to at least be balanced, and most of the time they had to be 'profitable', otherwise, their team of Memory Collectors would never be able to grow and develop.

It's the same this time.

The three level scenes have gone through at least three cycles of exploration, and the strategy team and analysis team have already come up with corresponding strategy plans.

Just follow the plan.

Naturally, as the team leaders, Zhou Di and Zhao Shilei also need to participate in person. In terms of strength and number of cards, both of them are far superior to other team members.

"Boss, Chu Yu's team has been split up. One part will follow us to the haunted house, and the rest will follow us to the underground maze."

A person who was recalling memories came over and whispered to Zhou Di.

This is Zhou Di's man, the leader of the strategy team, and he is quite trusted.

Zhou Di nodded.

If Zhao Shilei could see the problem, then naturally he could too. Chu Yu was indeed capable, but the other party's ambitions were also huge, so he had to be on guard.

Therefore, every time a mission was launched, Zhou Di would arrange to separate the ten people brought by Chu Yu, so that even if the other party had any ideas, they would not be able to achieve them because of their weak strength.

This time, Zhou Di led the team into the "abandoned underground maze" that had been thoroughly explored and had a preliminary strategy.

There is no way to know the origin of the scene. All we know is that the scene is located on the basement floor of a commercial building that is poorly managed and on the verge of bankruptcy.

There were many restaurants here originally, but due to the lack of traffic, they gradually closed down. As the number of businesses decreased, the traffic became even less, so the situation deteriorated and finally all closed down. The underground maze was originally a small amusement park next to it, which was a kind of entertainment mode of haunted house escape.

In an area of ​​about three to four hundred square meters, many areas are separated by partitions, forming a maze style. The passages inside are winding and extremely dark. There is usually one entrance and one exit. There are also people playing tricks inside to increase the difficulty and scare the visitors.

After the entire underground floor of the shopping mall was almost abandoned, the original operator naturally left, leaving behind such a mess.

Generally speaking, it is extremely difficult to discover this level scene.

Because this is not an 'initial scene'.

In the initial scene, there will be ordinary people in it. This kind of thing does not exist and must be discovered actively.

How could a normal person run to this place?
But Zhou Di is different.

He has a treasure map, on which the locations of many cards are marked, and the locations of the cards are bound to certain level scenes.

So even some deeply hidden scenes can be found by him.

The group entered the underground floor. Because there was no lighting system, it was pitch black down there and they could only rely on the flashlights in their hands.

They had already learned the strategy details for this scene before, so they could just enter directly.

"There are three kinds of dangers hidden in this scene. One is a murderer who uses a sharp knife; one is a female ghost whose attack method is unknown; and the other is a 'closed room'. Relatively speaking, the female ghost is the most dangerous here. Once caught by it, it is almost certain to die. Fortunately, there are some signs when the female ghost appears, that is, sound. If you hear a woman humming softly, you must be careful and leave the place immediately. If you are late, you may be caught by it."

Everyone has already memorized these strategies.

"If you want to clear the level, you need to stay alive, enter from the entrance, and leave from the exit. We didn't succeed the last few times, but we are very close to clearing the level. We have more people this time, so it shouldn't be a problem. However, the entrance to this scene needs to be entered one by one."

Said a scout who had been here.

Every time Zhou Di entered a level scene, he would be with Zhao Shilei, and this time was no exception.

"Go in first, then meet up inside."

This matter naturally did not pose a problem for them.

So the others entered the scene first, and Zhou Di and Zhao Shilei were the last two.

After everyone else went in, Zhao Shilei nodded at Zhou Di and walked into the entrance. There were several gates here, so they really needed to go in one by one.

There is a large piece of black cloth in front, and you need to crawl into it.

After seeing Zhao Shilei enter, Zhou Di followed closely behind. However, what he never expected was that he was suddenly attacked as soon as he entered.

Someone nearby hit him with a club.

Bang.

Zhou Di was hit so hard that his eyes went dark and his body fell to the ground involuntarily.

But he was not beaten to death, or rather, the person who attacked him controlled the strength and location of the attack, which made him lose the ability to resist.

When Zhou Di looked up, his eyes were about to burst. Over there, Zhao Shilei was lying in a pool of blood.

Like him, he was not dead, but was being held down by someone.

The people who were holding her down and attacking her were all Zhou Di's men, as well as other members of the attacking team.

"You guys." Zhou Di tried to stand up, but someone hit him hard on the leg with a stick.

This time he didn't hold back, and immediately he heard the sound of bones breaking.

Zhou Di screamed.

Now I can’t get up.

"Brother Zhou, I'm sorry. It's really because Brother Chu gave you too much, and your way of managing cards is not right. You and your girlfriend got all the good stuff. We went through life and death, but we couldn't get any good stuff. Don't blame us for this."

The person who spoke was the leader of the strategy team. Now it seemed that the other party was obviously in collusion with Chu Yu.

Zhou Di really didn't expect this. He stared at the other person with wide eyes.

"In fact, we have known Brother Chu for a long time. We can only say that he is more courageous than you."

"Why are you wasting time talking to a dead man?" Chu Yu came over with a knife in his hand. He asked someone to grab Zhou Di's hand, then he raised his knife and chopped off the palm.

This bloody scene made Zhao Shilei struggle frantically. She wanted to yell, but someone covered her mouth.

"Why are you in such a hurry? You'll be the next one." Chu Yu took off the ring on his severed palm, then walked towards Zhao Shilei with a knife in hand.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Di, who was almost fainting from the pain, became even more desperate.

"No, Chu Yu, don't touch her."

Chu Yu responded by striking with his sword.
