I told you to plant peas, and you summon Mordekaiser?

Chen Yang saw Huang Aotian walking towards him with a girl.

The girl had a baby face, gentle eyes, and a hint of nervousness in her gaze.

"Brother Aotian, who is this?"

"This is my girlfriend, Su Ran," Huang Aotian said with a wide grin, introducing her to Chen Yang.

"Hello."

Su Ran nodded slightly and replied in a soft voice, "Hello."

She lowered her gaze, as if she didn't dare to look Chen Yang in the eye, and stood timidly next to Huang Aotian, her hands slightly clenching the hem of her clothes.

"Su Ran is a little socially awkward, don't mind her."

Huang Aotian offered an explanation, then pulled Chen Yang aside and whispered something to him.

"Chen Yang, you've seen Su Ran's personality too. I'm really worried about letting her team up with others. Can I bring her along as well?"

Before Chen Yang could speak, Huang Aotian immediately added a sentence.

"Don't worry, Su Ran is very strong in combat and will definitely not hold us back."

"It's just a small matter, no problem." Chen Yang smiled and patted Huang Aotian's chest.

The other members were quickly finalized, and Huangfu Qinghe created a group chat and added all twenty people.

"I am the captain, Huangfu Qinghe. The roster has been submitted. Everyone, please get ready. The competition will begin in fourteen hours."

"No problem, Captain! Go go go, charge!"

"Hehehehe, my giant mushroom is already itching for a bite."

"Don't worry, everyone, I won't hold you back..."

Time passed quickly, and at the moment the registration deadline arrived, a system pop-up appeared in front of every player.

[Registration for the competition has ended]

[Number of participating teams:]

[Due to the large number of participating teams, the first round of the competition will be conducted in a special format.]

"Special mode? Isn't it supposed to be Garden Siege?"

Five million teams?! There are so many people participating.

"Sigh, we ordinary people definitely have no hope. This battle is the home ground of those plants on the power ranking list."

"You'll get a reward for just getting a ranking, so we'll see how many rounds we can last!"

There are many conflicting opinions on the chat channel.

[Players will enter the match space in five minutes.]

[Players are encouraged to figure out the game rules themselves.]

[A team is considered defeated when all its members are eliminated. The game ends when more than 99% of a team's members are eliminated.]

"Five minutes? Holy crap, I need to go to the toilet right now."

"Does that mean out of five million teams, only fifty thousand will remain?"

"This ratio is too exaggerated, one in a hundred."

Wish me luck...

Huangfu Qinghe also gave instructions in the team chat.

"Once we enter the competition area, everyone must adapt to the situation. Everything is unknown, and survival is the top priority!"

"As long as one person survives until the other teams are eliminated, we will win. Keep it up!"

Five minutes passed quickly.

Chen Yang's vision was suddenly plunged into darkness.

[Please select one passive ability (only effective in this game)]

Generic face (normal): Your chances of being noticed by other creatures are reduced.

Aura of Domination (Epic): Has a high probability of intimidating lower-ranking creatures.

Countdown (Normal): You can see how much time has passed in the game.

Eagle Eye (Normal): Your eyes can see clearly in the dark.

Turn the tide (Excellent): Grants immunity to one death, but you have a very small chance of encountering a special event (most likely a dangerous one).

Lone Wolf (Normal): Other players will subconsciously stay away from you.

Six options appeared before Chen Yang.

Let me choose an entry?

In this competition, survival is the most important thing.

Let's play it safe.

After much deliberation, he chose to turn the tide.

Choosing this talent grants immunity to one death.

Although the talent description states that there is a chance of encountering special events, the probability is extremely small.

Chen Yang was quite confident.

I've always been very lucky!

Confirm your selection!

[Player completes keyword selection, waiting for other players...]

[Preparation phase complete]

[Entering game space]

Chen Yang opened his eyes.

He found himself standing in a forest.

The trees all around stood like giants, each with an incredibly thick trunk and intertwined branches that stretched out in all directions.

Beneath my feet lay soft, decaying leaves, exuding a damp, cool scent mixed with the astringent smell of moss.

Chen Yang felt as if he had entered an ancient forest.

Beneath the enormous ancient tree, various plants grow on the ground in strange and unusual shapes.

Especially in front, there is a huge pitcher plant-like plant hanging from a tree trunk.

Countless tentacles swirled around it, as if they were alive, which sent chills down Chen Yang's spine.

Is this a plant that exists in reality?

It could swallow me whole in one gulp...

Even the documentary "Approaching Science" wouldn't dare to film like this.

Just as Chen Yang was cautiously surveying his surroundings, several figures descended upon him.

"This is the competition space?"

"This tree is huge, it must be thousands of years old."

"Aaaaaaah, there are zombies!"

"Holy crap, there's a talking zombie!"

"Help! Help! Private Marseille!"

"Uh...we all seem to be zombies..."

Other players arrived one after another, and at this moment they had all turned into zombies.

[Player Arrival Completed]

[Sole objective: Survival]

[The game ends after 99% of the teams are eliminated.]

[Warning: Now, you are the prey.]

[Start Game]

There is no need for further explanation; there is only one goal.

That is to survive.

Chen Yang understood.

The player's appearance at this moment broke the silence of the forest.

"Huh? Where are my teammates?"

"It looks like we were randomly assigned positions..."

"Can we survive in this forest?"

"I'm a wilderness survival expert! This forest doesn't look dangerous at all, this competition is a piece of cake."

"Hahahaha, I got the legendary attribute, this is a sure thing..."

The rough voice stopped abruptly.

Everyone looked at it in confusion.

Who exactly is this man who selected the legendary entry?

Why are you only saying half of what you meant?

But there was no sign of any zombie at the source of the sound.

There was only one giant mouth flower, its sharp, enormous mouth chewing up and down, with a zombie arm hanging from its mouth.

He chopped it down in one gulp!

"Fuck!"

The zombie, who claimed to be a survival expert, was startled and retreated repeatedly.

"Oh!"

A loud noise was heard.

The zombie turned to ashes in a pile of mashed potatoes.

The remaining zombies froze in place upon seeing this.

Two zombies died in the blink of an eye!

Who the hell just said this forest isn't dangerous?

Chen Yang also stopped in his tracks.

A faint red light flickered between the withered branches and fallen leaves two steps in front of him.

Potato mines!

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the previous experience had taught him a lesson, which made him more cautious.

Otherwise, no one would notice these hidden landmines.

In the upper right corner of his field of vision, there were two lines of numbers: the current number of survivors and the number of survivors in the team.

The total number of survivors is declining every second, a rapid drop that is visible to the naked eye.

His team now has 17 survivors.

The team originally consisted of 20 people, but three of them were eliminated right from the start.

Chen Yang's heart tightened.

This forest is fraught with danger...

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble.

"Dong..."

"Dong..."

"Dong..."

A deafening roar came, as if a giant was stomping on the ground.

The sound grew louder as it approached, and with each vibration, the perception of the sound became clearer for everyone present.
