Chapter 170 Space Bombing the Tomb

Bang!

The group dealing with the paper figures outside only heard a loud noise from deep within the Zhang family's graveyard. The paper figures in front of them instantly changed from attacking fiercely to scattering in terror.

The five exchanged glances, knowing something major had happened inside, and rushed in. Not long after, a series of explosions erupted around them, startling them so much that they ran while feeling uneasy.

They were dumbfounded when they saw the blasted, pockmarked graveyard.

"What the heck? How did this happen?"

"How was this even done?"

The most outrageous thing was that they saw Mu Chen was about to retract the hand that had created this masterpiece. They couldn't help but swallow hard.

Was this Boss a little too much?

Bombing tombs from afar?

Qi Hai Kui even subconsciously touched her head, inwardly estimating whether she could withstand a headshot from afar if she really fought the Boss.

…

"They're here?"

Mu Chen snapped back to reality and glanced at the stunned five. Just now, he had felt that strange aura disappear. Ming Mei, with the help of Gui Gui's electronic data vision, saw a data cluster like a virus tear through the barrier and slip away…

Even she and Mu Chen didn't have that kind of freedom, to leave whenever they wanted without any restrictions. Was this Zerg a little too abnormal?

"H-here… Did you find anything here?"

Lu Xiao Yao bravely answered Mu Chen, after all, he was still holding the merchant NPC, so he should be in a good mood.

"That troublemaker ran away, but… they probably won't be back."

Wang Wenfei caught the hidden meaning in Mu Chen's words about the troublemaker: "Are you saying that the Zerg left this place, no, this world?"

"Mm."

Mu Chen nodded, and the players fell silent again.

They came to investigate the traces of the Zerg, but they were directly driven away by the game Boss. Who could they complain to?

"Didn't you say your powers were suppressed? Why… could you still win?"

Lu Xiao Yao cautiously asked her question. Ming Mei also looked up at Mu Chen, wanting to know how he did it.

"I was just trying to deceive the guy who wanted to plot against me in the dark. As for power, even if it's suppressed temporarily, won't it come back when it's not suppressed anymore?"

Lu Xiao Yao didn't understand this explanation.

Too much of a humblebrag.

"Did you also discover something wrong with those graves and blow them up?"

Qi Hai Kui's attention had long fallen on the blasted tombs. They came to find traces of the Zerg, and even if the opponent ran away, staying in one place for a long time would leave traces, right?

Qi Hai Kui implied that she wanted to go over and investigate, and Mu Chen didn't object, but there was another matter at hand.

"You've been busy all night, are you hungry?"

Mu Chen released his arm around Ming Mei and gently pushed her in front of everyone. Zhen Po nodded without thinking, and Mu Chen smiled, "It just so happens that the girl I like is a boxed lunch seller, you can buy some from her."

Lu Xiao Yao: ???

Wang Wenfei: …

Zhen Po: ??

"We have to buy boxed lunches even when we're here?"

Buying boxed lunches meant spending credit points, and Lu Xiao Yao was well aware of this. She didn't want to buy them. Earning credit points now was a huge risk, and she was reluctant to spend them on boxed lunches.

"Boss, give me two mushroom and meat slices boxed lunches." Wang Wenfei obediently handed over the credit points and took the boxed lunches away. Lu Xiao Yao was still struggling with the credit points, so she naturally didn't see the expression of the Boss behind the mysterious merchant.

If you don't buy boxed lunches, you can't go over there!

They must have seen that right?

Zhen Po also bought a boxed lunch at Zhen Hu's prompting. Lu Xiao Yao looked around, seeing everyone buying and signaling her with their eyes, and after hesitating for a long time, she bought one.

Ming Mei: "…"

The amount the three of them bought together was only equal to one Zhen Hu's portion.

Seeing that they all bought boxed lunches, Mu Chen nodded secretly and pointed to the graveyard that he had blasted beyond recognition, saying, "It's over there."

Mu Chen didn't stop them from going over to investigate. Ming Mei also successfully sold a lot of boxed lunches. She had also had Gui Gui organize the information and send it to Yan Hui.

Although the early stages of this game were quite thrilling, Mu Chen's actions made things unexpectedly quick.

"Next time, I definitely won't let the other party run away."

After Mu Chen finished speaking, Ming Mei smiled and said, "Yes, next time we won't let him run away."

The game countdown had already started for Mu Chen and Ming Mei.

When they left this game, the game would be re-corrected and restored, eliminating the traces left by the other party. After that, the other party would no longer be able to enter the game, and the game could be opened to the public.

…

"However… I think my identity will definitely arouse the other party's apprehension and suspicion."

After leaving the game, Mu Chen and Ming Mei had a video call. When talking about this, Ming Mei only heard Mu Chen sigh softly. He told Ming Mei about his suspicions in the game.

This bug seemed to be doing some experiments.

"Are you saying that it has some 'natural enemies' in these survival games?"

Ming Mei wasn't sure if this word was correct, but listening to Mu Chen's description, although the other party was targeting players, it seemed to want to suppress the Boss even more.

Taking the newbie village suppressing the Zhang family's young master as an example, was the other party targeting the Boss?

"Mr. Yan Hui has locked up quite a few heinous spiritual entities in the game." Mu Chen said, with some kind of terrible conjecture, "Do you think the Zerg has encountered some 'local bullies' that are giving it a headache in these games, so it wants to use my character to test the waters?"

"If there really are such characters, Uncle has no reason not to use them, right? It's not impossible to use evil to control evil without putting the students at risk…"

Hearing Ming Mei's not-so-kind words, Mu Chen looked at Ming Mei strangely. Ming Mei thought that the other party had thought too highly of her, and was just about to say something when she heard Mu Chen laugh and say, "That's a good idea."

"Is it?"

"Yes." Mu Chen nodded, but he sighed and said, "However, Mr. Yan Hui won't give them such an opportunity. If something goes wrong, then one capture and one escape will become two fugitives.

The purpose of putting their spiritual bodies in the game in the first place was not to make them comfortable. With the promotion of the game, their spirits have long been depleted, and they have forgotten who they originally were. Those memories are directly stuffed into them with data, and then their spiritual power is depleted to the critical value and completely destroyed. After their spiritual power dissipates, the auxiliary detection system will create new data characters based on their behavior over the years…"

Mu Chen spoke of the ways in which the spiritual bodies of those who had committed wrongdoings were treated in the game. After he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and saw Ming Mei looking at him worriedly. Then he heard Ming Mei ask worriedly, "What about you? Did you suffer any damage when you were inside?"

"I…" Mu Chen didn't answer immediately this time. He raised his eyes and smiled gently at Ming Mei, only saying, "Everything was my just desserts, but I was also lucky enough to survive. I am different from those people…"

Some people used Yan Hui's game to nurture their spiritual power, while others suffered in the game, atoning for the mistakes they had once made;

Some wrongdoers were constantly tormented until their spiritual power completely dissipated, and they died leaving nothing behind, while some wrongdoers finally had a chance to return.

However, the probability of the latter was too small, so small that he was the only one who had come out so far.
