I Rely On Poverty To Sweep Through Survival GamesCh10 - We Still Have A Chance

Among the junk.

This place was narrow and cramped, the air damp and heavy. The dampness even had that moldy feeling that was characteristic of old, uninhabited houses, and normal people would find this overall feeling very uncomfortable. IUiPjO

Luo asked about Xiao Lan’s plans.

【What does sir plan to do next?】

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Xiao Lan casually found a bucket and sat down on it, and he crossed his legs as he pondered. “Lin Yan doesn’t seem to understand the game as much as I thought; otherwise, he wouldn’t have to monitor me in order to obtain the clue on the cigarettes.”

Xiao Lan suddenly understood why this game’s boss didn’t look so awe-inspiring; it was because the difficulty of this game didn’t actually have to do with the boss! FJDqz6

Zhang Dong was only the source of clues for the game. His actions were limited by the rules of the game, and he couldn’t kill players willy-nilly. The female shop assistant was the same; they were only part of the game rules.

All the deaths happened because of the players’ own actions and choices.

The true danger — was the traitor among the players.

They would think up various ways to sound out the rules, then guide their teammates into violating the rules and cause their deaths.

However, this game didn’t seem to give the traitor any special preferential treatment. Previously, Lin Yan had been able to suss out Xiao Lan’s movements by relying on the advantage of a veteran player — items. If it were a new player, the mortality rate for this game definitely wouldn’t be this high, with only four out of eleven people remaining. If the traitor was taken out, there would only be three left.

This implied that there had to be clues Lin Yan didn’t know about, and if he didn’t know them, he couldn’t destroy them in advance.

“There’s still twenty more minutes. Let’s return to the places where we found clues first and look around ba.”

Xiao Lan stood up. “Luo, we still have a chance!” vQ1XZj

As Xiao Lan hurried to the warehouse, he had Luo maintain the lowest level of vigilance.

Given Luo’s current situation, it was impossible for them to search as swiftly and accurately as before. Even though Luo expressed that he could still persevere, Xiao Lan didn’t allow him to overexert his energy.

“Xiao ge…” A female voice suddenly rang out faintly, and the mournful sound would make the scalp of anyone who heard it turn numb.

Xiao Lan turned his head, and didn’t see anyone at first.

“Over here.” The voice came from above.

Xiao Lan raised his head, and noticed Zhao Xiaohe cowering on the top of a tall, metal shelf. Her eyes were red, and the tears on her face were mixed with dust. She also had some scratches on her, and had a completely dejected and hopeless air. 7aXiOM

Xiao Lan intuitively sensed that something was wrong. “Zhao Xiaohe? What happened?”

Zhao Xiaohe sniffled, and her tone was listless. “Lin Yan, he… he suddenly ran out and smashed the item I found into pieces. He said we should all die. Why is he doing this ah?”

She wiped her tears. “There’s no more time left… I can’t find any clues either. Am I screwed, Xiao ge?”

As she spoke, this girl, who was probably still in high school, couldn’t help crying bitterly. TWZAIm

Her life hadn’t even started, when she was forcefully drawn into this strange game, and she had even witnessed her good friends die before her one by one. In terms of spirit, she was already performing very well as she earnestly searched for clues, avoided the preconditions for death, and wasn’t deceived by Lin Yan. She even pulled herself together after being confronted with the deaths of her friends.

Even an adult might find it difficult to perform as well in her situation.

Unfortunately, there was a traitor in their group, and his goal was to send everyone to hell.

Xiao Lan didn’t choose to say a few words of useless comfort at all. He quickly said, “There’s still twenty minutes left, you still have a chance to find clues. If you still can’t find anything even when it’s almost time, then just take a gamble. RdpOP5

“According to the rules of a supermarket, the easier it is to obtain the item, the more profitable it is. Products placed on eye level are the most profitable, and based on human habit, products on the right side are more profitable than the ones on the left side. Think about what sort of person Zhang Dong is, and what he would buy.”

Xiao Lan’s gaze was calm when he looked at Zhao Xiaohe; his clear eyes contained steadiness and hope, and some things Zhao Xiaohe didn’t understand, but there was no fear.

Meeting his gaze, there was a sudden burst of courage in Zhao Xiaohe’s heart. It wasn’t the final moment yet, and it was far from time to give up! Even if she had no clues, she could still gamble on luck. She didn’t believe that she was doomed to die by some villain’s calculations.

After saying this, Xiao Lan took his leave. CT3gNf

Seeing Xiao Lan’s steady back, Zhao Xiaohe wiped her face and pulled herself together again as she secretly encouraged herself.

After leaving Zhao Xiaohe, Xiao Lan swiftly forged ahead.

Though he put up a very strong front before the young girl, he himself hadn’t found any clues ne…. h6eclF

【Sir, you have 15 minutes left】

Ying! Xiao Lan felt bitter in his heart, and started running outright.

Returning to the warehouse manager’s office, he didn’t find anything.

【Ten minutes left】 AQz8Mo

Financial affairs office, nothing.

In the last five minutes, Xiao Lan returned to the manager’s office.

Xiao Lan leapt straight down from the window since it wouldn’t hurt him, given his current physique. q1la0I

Returning to the lawn, Xiao Lan found the cigarette butts and brick he had previously hidden. There were no signs that the surroundings had been touched by anyone; it looked like Lin Yan and the tattooed gangster hadn’t searched this place. This was good news.

Xiao Lan returned to the place where he had previously found the cigarette butts, then turned on his phone’s torch to closely study every detail. Under the torch’s illumination, he finally found a trace that he had previously overlooked.

It was an extremely inconspicuous, light grey trace, as if a liquid had spilled on the floor and slowly evaporated after absorbing dust, leaving this behind. With the passage of time, another layer of dust had settled on top, making it even less conspicuous.

Xiao Lan had been a little baffled before. Zhang Dong, this person, loved slacking off and liked to complain, but it seemed as if it was just hot air. Compared with his cowardly behaviour in reality, he only dared to secretly grumble on the cardboard boxes, even when he was scolded by the manager. 7q062Y

Even the disciplinary notice only said that he left his post without permission and insulted customers; there was no indication that he was someone with violent tendencies.

Then why was the warehouse manager’s office trashed so badly?

Also, he ran over in the middle of the night to climb the drainpipe up to someone’s office, and ultimately slipped and fell to his death. Even though Zhang Dong didn’t look very smart, was this foolish action something a sober-minded person would do?

Could it be that he wasn’t sober at all during that time? duDNsq

An unclear mind while his body was still capable of moving. The simplest conjecture was — drunkenness. After someone drank themselves stupid, it wasn’t strange to do embarrassing things, and it wasn’t difficult to hype themself into feeling like they could do anything.

However, Xiao Lan previously hadn’t found anything related to alcohol in every other place, to the extent that he had overlooked this point. With this trace on the ground now, hope bubbled up in Xiao Lan once more. Maybe Zhang Dong threw the bottle away after drinking it, or he had been carrying it on him, and it was ultimately taken away with his body.

Xiao Lan pointed at the stain and said to Luo, “Luo, help me check if this is a trace left by alcohol.”

If by any chance Zhang Dong had been squatting too long and he wasn’t too particular about how he relieved himself, then it would be too goddamn awkward. 1HRFwd

The faint shadow stretched out a thin tendril and slowly covered the grey stain. This time, it took longer before Luo’s writing appeared again.

【Yes, sir】

Xiao Lan finally sighed in relief.

“Ding dong —”

“Lucky ones, our game has begun. Don’t make me wait too long oh.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Zhang Dong’s hoarse and unpleasant voice rang out. Whether they passed or not, this would be the final round.
