Kick back the curtain
"The game begins. Shape up or ship out. ”
With Shen Lingshuang's declaration in the earphones, Xiang Nanxing's thirty-second first round began. The VR device he was wearing was officially turned on at this moment, and a large amount of light surged out of the display and surrounded his eyes. Despite his mental preparation, it took Xiang Nanxing two seconds to get his eyes roughly adjusted to this change in light and darkness. Before his eyesight recovered, he could only vaguely see Shen Lingshuang's vague back casually opening a door and leaving in a hurry.
"Next time, squint your eyes first and then open them slowly, and you should get used to it faster."
Xiang Nanxing summed up his experience in his heart, but he didn't delay his actions at all. Before he could see the road in front of him, he had already taken a step forward, as if he didn't want to waste even a second. Just as soon as he took a step, his toes felt like he had kicked something, Xiang Nanxing bent down and saw that it turned out to be a box, and immediately picked it up and held it in his hand without hesitation.
"There's probably a bullet in here. Wait until your vision is restored before checking carefully. He thought to himself.
He didn't waste time on choosing, but walked directly towards the door where Shen Lingshuang had left. Although there is no reason to think that the other party, as the host, will give him tips in this way, but at the moment, since there are no other clues, it is a matter of luck to go in any direction, so he might as well follow up directly, and he can avoid the trouble of choosing obstacles.
In fact, he does need to race against time. Keep in mind that each turn has only thirty seconds for the player, after which the temporarily turned on VR device will be turned off and he will return to darkness again. Within this time limit, he must explore as many areas as he can, and then find a base where he can hide before the time limit expires, waiting to survive the next thirty seconds. If possible, he also had to remember every room he walked through to avoid going back later.
"Let's go in one direction first, and then we'll go to the border."
Xiang Nanxing didn't take much effort to determine the next course of action. Compared to getting up in the center, you have to watch out for the unfavorable situation in the four directions at all times, but if you find the boundary, it means that you can only guard against three of them, and the mental pressure can be reduced a lot. The next step in finding the boundary is to walk along the row of rooms on the side, all the way to the corner room, where he only needs to watch out for danger coming from both directions, which can be called easy to defend and difficult to attack.
And more importantly, when he was in these rooms in the middle, it was difficult for Xiang Nanxing to determine his position in the entire area, but if he could go to the edge, he could at least know that he was at the edge of the entire area, and the location would be further determined when he reached the corner room. Walking in these places saves him a lot of energy to find his way and allows him to focus more on thinking about his opponents.
Of course, there are gains and losses, and this seemingly beautiful strategy naturally has its weaknesses, at least in Xiang Nanxing's judgment. According to his experience in a series of "games" during this time, many hosts will adhere to the principle of equal risk and return, the more prudent the approach, the less likely it is to get extra help, and those risky behaviors will always be favored by the rules. Just like this game, it is undoubtedly safer and easier to grasp the situation by going to the corners, so it is unlikely that the host will hide the most critical live ammunition in these rooms, and Xiang Nanxing estimates that they should be placed in these rooms in the middle.
"If you're lucky, you might be able to meet it along the way...... Hehe, but with the style of those people, of course things didn't go so well. Xiang Nanxing muttered to himself. He had already pushed open the door and walked into the second room in front of him, which had nothing but four snow-white walls and four doors leading in different directions, and the whole room was exactly the same as the previous room in terms of shape, size, and interior, making it difficult to distinguish. Xiang Nanxing guessed that all the rooms here should be decorated in the same way, so that players can better distinguish their direction in it, increasing the probability of them getting lost - making players get into trouble, which is the favorite thing for game designers to do.
However, this point is not difficult for Xiang Nanxing. He raised his hand and carved a shallow scratch on the doorframe with his fingernails, so that the next time he came to this room, he would know that he had been there before. After doing this, Xiang Nanxing picked up the small box placed in the middle of the room. When I opened it, I saw two special rubber-like bullets inside.
Only then did he take out the small box he had picked up in the starting room, and opened it in the same way, and it contained the same special bullets, but only in number.
"Are the number of bullets random...... "Are the bullets random," he strode forward, his mind already analyzing, "the same special bullets, but the number is different, is this just to show randomness, or is there something else in it?" I thought that since I was given a six-round revolver, the number of refill bullets I got each time should at least fill the magazine, but in this way, even if I got live ammunition, the number would only be one. ”
"I don't think there's one chance."
Xiang Nanxing's hand unconsciously pressed on the pistol held at his waist, feeling the lines on the handle. He was not a man without shooting experience, and when he was very young, his mother took him to the shooting training range to touch the gun, and took out a women's pistol with weak recoil for him to practice. The skills trained in the training at that time have degraded a lot over the years, but the feeling of muscle memory is still faintly remaining, Xiang Nanxing can feel the hidden memory of shooting in his body, not to mention that when he needs a shot to determine the outcome on the island, he completely relied on his body's sense to pull the trigger, and the result turned out to be a hit.
"Anyway, that's something to think about after finding live ammunition."
Xiang Nanxing thought like this and pushed open the fourth door he passed through. In the first two fast-passing rooms, he found two more boxes, each containing two bullets. In this way, Xiang Nanxing already had seven bullets on hand, which was enough to fill a magazine, but unfortunately, these were all special bullets that could not kill people.
He had walked through five rooms so far, and was now standing in the fifth room and picking up the box on the floor and holding it in his hand like a gambler. If time permitted, he still wanted to keep going, but a thirty-second countdown was intimately displayed on the edge of the electronic vision, and at this time the number had reached the last three seconds, and if he wanted to move forward, he would have to risk going black when he was halfway there.
"Let's find a spot first."
Xiang Nanxing looked left and right, measured the distance between the front and back with his eyes, and stood still in the middle of the room. It was the safest position for him, five meters away from the four doors at the front and back, left and right all at the same distance. According to the setting, when the distance between the two sides is close to within six meters, the player who is outside his turn will also get the benefit of opening his vision, in other words, as long as he stands in the middle of the room, no matter which direction the enemy comes from, Xiang Nanxing can recover his vision before the opponent opens the door, so as not to be passively beaten in the dark.
The only weakness of this approach is that the player cannot tell in advance which direction the opponent is coming from, and can only quickly find the target the moment the opponent opens the door, and then counterattack.
"But nothing is perfect."
Xiang Nanxing muttered to himself. He opened the box at the last moment to confirm the bullets inside. As he expected, the lucky event did not appear, and he got three special bullets in his hands at this time, more than any before, but it was meaningless. At the same moment when he finished counting the bullets and put them in his pocket, Xiang Nanxing noticed that the countdown number on the edge of his vision had jumped to "1".
The next second, his eyes suddenly turned into darkness, and he couldn't hear anything in his ears. Except for that little down-to-earth feeling that reminded him of his own existence, the rest of the world seemed to have disappeared from his surroundings.
