Global Collapse

Chapter 443 Little Red the Beauty
Gu Mian felt that this was the moment in his life when he had the highest probability of drawing a rare item, and he sharpened his knife, looking at the bamboo tube with eager anticipation.

"Wait, doctor! Should I come?" Having been by Gu Mian's side for so long, the fat man had no doubt about his luck.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he doesn't usually draw anything good. In a critical moment, he might actually draw an aircraft carrier. Where would they find one then?

Gu Mian paused, rummaged through the bamboo sticks in the tube a few times, but there was nothing on the sticks, apparently to prevent him from drawing lots based on the contents.

“Okay,” Gu Mian withdrew her hand and looked at the fat man, “then you can draw it.”

The fat man breathed a slight sigh of relief, then nervously reached for the bamboo tube, took a deep breath, and gave it a sharp shake, much like someone praying to a god for a divination.

Immediately afterwards, a skewer fell out with a snap.

Gu Mian reached out and picked up the bamboo stick that had fallen onto the dragon boat board.

Fatty's luck has always been pretty good, at least compared to Gu Mian, so what he drew this time was relatively common. Not that it's everywhere, but you can find it if you walk a few blocks—a beautiful woman.

"Beautiful woman," Gu Mian emphasized, "borrow a beautiful woman?"

The fat man really drew something that shocked the heavens and moved the earth.

Are you suggesting we send them sailing into other players' groups to abduct women?

And who knows if this thing is accurate? Maybe even if they kidnap a player who looks like Xiao Qiao onto the ship, she might not be judged as a beauty.

The fat man spoke incredibly fast, racing against time: "Doctor, we only have five minutes, let's hurry and find some beauties among the players!"

Losing the chance to gain teammates in this stage isn't a big deal. As long as the teammates don't board the ship, they won't be in danger. At worst, they'll just be imprisoned until the event ends.

Having more teammates might be advantageous in the final level, the water minesweeping challenge.

The fat man quickly grabbed a paddle, ready to row at any moment: "Doctor, should we lend it to him or not?"

Gu Mian stared at the river for two seconds in thought, then pressed down on the fat man: "Borrow, but not into the player group."

"Huh?" the fat man asked, puzzled. Then he noticed Gu Mian's gaze was fixed on the water, and he immediately understood. He swallowed hard. "You wouldn't want to..."

The ghosts in the water were not so densely packed that they filled the room.

They almost all gathered in the densest area of ​​dragon boats, waiting for their chance to strike. At this time, the players on each dragon boat were either helping each other or harming each other.

Most players are currently experiencing the second level, the borrowing competition.

The items these players received were fairly normal; some got pink striped socks, others got a live miniature pig...

Given that the fat man had previously drawn a live groundhog when drawing special items, many players have also drawn live mini pigs.

Players on different dragon boats exchange the items they need across the water.

"Give me the pig, and I'll give you the socks."

"I never expected a grown man like you to wear pink striped socks..."

Of course, there were also dishonest players. The player who got the socks turned around and rowed away in his dragon boat, while the other dragon boat quickly rowed after him.

The dragon boat race rewards players based on their ranking, so naturally, players who might be ahead of them in the rankings need to be eliminated. Taking advantage of a player's escape and the dragon boat tilting, a ghost forcefully capsized the boat on the surface, dragging the player who fell into the water underwater.

"Help! Help!" The man, clutching a sock, was grabbed tightly by the vengeful ghost in the water and was dragged underwater as he struggled.

The surrounding players swallowed hard as they watched the person struggling in the water. It was clearly not a good time to do something heroic, so they could only try their best to keep their boat from tilting too much.

While the other players watched in horror as the man was dragged into the water, something seemed to suddenly appear from underwater, moving very fast.

Before they could even see clearly, the thing grabbed the ghost holding the man and dragged him away with all its might.

The man clutching his socks survived. He struggled to climb back onto his dragon boat and looked back, only to find that his teammates, who had fallen into the water with him, were nowhere to be seen; they were probably dead.

"What was that thing just now?" the man asked, looking at the underwater scene with trepidation. "Damn, it was amazing."

"It asks us to borrow a beautiful woman, but it didn't specify whether it's a beautiful ghost or a beautiful human. If it asks us to borrow a beautiful woman, then we'll just have to rush into the players' houses and rape innocent women," Gu Mian said after thinking for a while. "Men should be fine too."

He was keeping track of the time; fifty-seven seconds had already passed. He had sent his brother out to catch the female ghost, hoping that his brother's aesthetic sense would be more normal.

Then bubbles suddenly appeared on the side of the boat. Gu Mian turned her head and saw a head with bared teeth suddenly shoot out vertically, with its brother holding it up below.

Upon seeing Gu Mian, the struggling female ghost peacefully closed her gaping mouth.

Gu Mian looked at the word "beauty" on the fortune slip, then at the ghost being held up in front of her, and silently shook her head at her brother, saying, "Don't look for someone who looks similar to Xiao Hong."

The older brother let go of her hand and dived back into the water.

The female ghost made a desperate escape.

The fat man looked in the direction the female ghost had left: "Was it just my imagination? Why does she seem a little aggrieved?"

Before Gu Mian could speak, another disheveled head appeared beside the boat, with its brother holding it up below.

It had been less than ten seconds since the female ghost left.

Gu Mian silently looked at its face: "Didn't I say not to find one that looks similar to Xiao Hong? This one looks exactly the same... Hmm, it's dressed exactly the same too, and it even has the same telepathic speaker around its neck..."

The fat man quickly added, "But this looks like Xiao Hong."

The older brother left again, leaving behind a little red girl who was soaking wet.

Ten seconds wasn't enough time for the older brother to pull Xiaohong from where they lived to this place.

Gu Mian didn't quite understand how she got here, so she took a break and asked her, "Were you teleported in here too?"

I didn't expect her to answer, but to my surprise, the telepathic speaker uttered a single word: "No."

The fat man was very puzzled: "Then how did you get here?"

Immediately afterwards, another word came from the telepathic speaker: "Swim".
