Energy Storm Incoming: Survive or Transcend

Chapter 9

There were originally three cards in a row, three columns in total, but two cards in the upper left corner were flipped over.

The moment the photos of the middle-aged man and the girl appeared on the card, Lorna's breathing stopped.

On the first card, a middle-aged man was wearing a black suit jacket and smiling. The words "Corbin" were written at the bottom of the card. If Lorna was not mistaken, this should be his name.

These cards only appeared after everyone who entered the space divided into groups and walked into the thick fog. There was no movement in the middle. After No.1 and No.6 died one after another, two cards turned over. Does this mean that the turning of these cards requires the death of the card owners?

If Lorna's speculation is true, then what will happen again after these cards are turned over?

She recalled the scene when she, No.1 and No.6 were looking for a way out in this space. Is it possible that their previous method of finding an exit from this space was wrong from the beginning, and the real clues to leaving here are likely hidden in these cards?

Such a thought emerged in Lorna's mind, and he vaguely felt that he had found the right direction.

Thinking carefully, when she entered this space, the prompt she received was "Do you want to enter God's Trial?" After entering the space, there were nine people in total, with three cards in a row and one card in three columns. After two people died, the two cards in the upper left corner flipped over.

After summarizing and concluding what she knew so far, Lorna probably had a rough idea of the task.

The trial mission requires infighting. The reason why the number of people entering the trial is an odd number rather than an even number is most likely to indicate that in the end only one person can survive and leave this space.

Lorna figured this out and shuddered. It was a good thing that she was able to kill someone for self-protection but accidentally got clues to the mission and found a way to leave home, but at the moment, the situation was not favorable for her.

The nine people who entered the space received the same clues. Except for the dead No.1 and No.6, the other six people should have discovered the abnormality.

The only advantage she had was that she knew that the flipping of the cards was caused by the deaths of No.1 and No.6, but as time went on, the others should be able to react to it to some extent.

Once everyone realizes this, this advantage will become Lorna's weakness.

After all, she was in the same group as No.1 and No.6, but both of them died at her hands. Naturally, the others would be more wary of her.

This mission requires only those who survive to the end to have the conditions to leave. Compared with men, women are much more dangerous.

If Lorna wants to survive, he has to kill the other six people.

Putting aside whether she has the strength and stamina to kill everyone when everyone is on guard against her, among the other men, let’s not talk about No.3 John. No.4 doctor is experienced and cautious, and because of his profession, he is accustomed to life and death. Once the game officially begins, he should be able to overcome psychological barriers faster than ordinary people in order to survive. He is a very difficult and ruthless character.

At the same time, No.7 is a burly man with a strong physique. He is the tallest among all the people and is not easy to deal with.

But no matter how unfavorable the situation was for her, she was unwilling to let Lorna sit and wait for death. She had barely escaped death, and she was unwilling to die quietly in this game.

She held the dagger tightly in her hand. Fortunately, she had a backup plan. During the fight with the middle-aged man, she unexpectedly knocked him down.

This dagger is likely to bring her life in the subsequent trials.

What Lorna herself did not expect was that the thing that almost took her life unexpectedly became her hope for survival now, as if fate was playing a huge joke on her.

After calming down, Lorna first carefully hid the dagger again. There seemed to be a sweet and fishy taste of thick blood lingering in her mouth. She retched twice and saw the hideous appearance of the middle-aged man number six after his death from the corner of her eye.

He looked completely different from the photo on the card, and the comparison was even more creepy.

After the two people in the team died, the surrounding environment seemed even more gloomy and terrifying, but Lorna had no time to worry about these things as the most urgent matter had to be addressed.

The girl's body was lying nearby. She had died at the hands of a middle-aged man. The mouse cord was still wrapped around her neck and her clothes had been torn.

She was fine, but the body of the middle-aged man was a bit tricky.

There was an obvious knife wound on his neck. If the body was left unattended and discovered by others later, Lorna's trump card would be exposed and her danger would be greatly increased.

The middle-aged man must be hidden!

But where should he hide? There was grass all around, and an abandoned factory building in the distance, but there was nothing extra to hide...

Lorna carefully recalled what he had seen along the way and remembered the dozen or so large vats in the factory.

Each large vat is about half a person's height and is covered with a heavy thick lid.

When the few people passed by earlier, they did not rashly open the lid of the tank because they were not sure whether there was anything dangerous hidden in the tank.

Now that she thought of this, it was obvious that the big vat was the best place to hide the body!

The factory was not far from here. She was cautious by nature and had memorized the route and direction along the way. It was not difficult to find her way back now. She only needed to hide No.6's body, seal the scene and hide before others arrived, which would increase her chances of survival.

Thinking of this, Lorna stood up with her hands on the ground. Her body was still a little shaky. She had not felt anything when she killed the person because she was too nervous. But now that she had recovered, she felt panic in her heart, dizzy, and her eyes were shaking.

This was not the time for her to feel uncomfortable. She bit her tongue hard, shook her head, confirmed her location, and then walked towards the location of the factory in her memory.

She counted the time silently in her mind while paying attention to the cards in her mind. About a quarter of an hour later, she finally determined the location of the factory. Before she turned back, the cards in her mind moved again.

The third card in the upper left corner is turned over, and the woman in the red dress No.8 is smiling at the camera!

She was in the same group as the burly man No.7. When the card was turned over, it was proved that No.7 had already attacked her.

This was like a signal. Once everyone started to take action, more people would die. After the closest teammates were killed one after another, the survivors of the team would turn into hunters and go out to look for prey. There was not much time left for Lorna .

She returned to the scene and first touched the girl's bag, then took out change and a cell phone from the bag. Money was of no use in this place, so she put the cell phone on herself and took off the mouse cable wrapped around the girl's neck and held it in her hand. At this time, any extra thing she had would count.

After doing all this, she suppressed her inner fear and nausea, reached out and pulled up the body of the middle-aged man No.6.

The body is particularly heavy after death, especially the middle-aged man whose body temperature is slowly dropping. His fat body presses heavily on Lorna's back, almost crushing her to the ground.

The blood from the wound on the man's neck dripped down like silk threads, flowing onto Lorna's shoulders and arms, and soaking into her clothes, making her feel slippery and itchy.

The corpse's hand hung at Lorna's side, swaying. Especially since she had killed the man with her own hands, it added a lot of psychological burden to her.

It was not an easy journey. When she arrived at the factory, Lorna had almost exhausted all her strength. She threw the middle-aged man's body aside and pushed open the lid of a large vat with great effort. At first, she held her breath, fearing that something would come out of the vat, but after the lid was opened, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

There was only a small half tank of sewage-like liquid in the vat, which looked very turbid in the dim light. Lorna took great pains to push the body of the short and fat middle-aged man in. There was a splashing sound of water with a "plop". Lorna closed the lid and prepared to start dealing with the traces he had left along the way.

Some bloodstains can only be removed by rubbing hard, and those that cannot be rubbed off can be covered with mud.

Some scenes that cannot be covered up cannot be hidden, so they can only be covered up in other places in the same way to temporarily confuse others.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that this should be the place where she had the most activities. Even so, Lorna had no other choice.

She couldn't run away. If she ran, she would be like a headless fly. There was a high possibility that she would encounter a hunter. Once she encountered one head-on, with her physical energy greatly consumed, her chances of survival would not be high even with the dagger.

It would be better to wait and see, hiding here. There are more than a dozen large vats here, each with a heavy lid. She has checked the water in the vats, and it should be sewage. If others want to find her in these vats, it will take some time unless they are extremely lucky.

Not only was this enough time for her to rest, but the moment the lid was opened, she might also be able to launch a surprise attack.

She found the large vat containing body No.6, chose a nearby one, opened the lid, crawled in, and then put the lid back on.

As the dim light was gradually blocked by the lid, she didn't know whether it was due to psychological influence or other reasons, but she felt that the water in which her lower body was soaked was icy cold, indicating that if she failed, this might be her burial place.

After hiding himself and making sure that neither his clothes nor his hair were exposed at all, Lorna began to pay attention to the prompts in his mind.

While she was doing these things, most of the cards in her mind had already been turned over!

The cards of girl No.1, middle-aged man No.6, woman in red skirt No.8, boy No.5, and even John No.3 were turned over.
