Everyone looked at each other, all silent.

Zhu Shu asked tentatively, “Could it have something to do with the clothes upstairs? For instance perhaps we need all ten of us to wear the designated outfits to start the game?”

“That’s possible.” Yan Qingwen nodded slightly, “But those clothes might also be a trap. Until we have a clear understanding of the situation, I don’t recommend everyone to change into those clothes.” 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝘯𝘰𝓿𝑒𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝑚

Zhu Shu nodded in agreement, then turned to the others, hesitant, “So what should we do now?”

No one responded.

The rain outside seemed to have grown heavier, as the drops pattered against the window.

The room grew even quieter.

Shen Mo voiced his thoughts, “My idea is that since the game hasn’t started, we should conserve our strength and prepare. Those who are not feeling well should rest and recuperate as soon as possible. We need to figure out how much water and food we have, how long it can sustain us, and whether there are places in this house we haven’t checked yet, such as hidden compartments or a basement.”

Chang Weicai chimed in, “When I was boiling water earlier, I searched the kitchen and found no food. But we have electricity and water, and I have a few packs of instant noodles in my backpack.”

“I have some loquats in my bag…” Pan Xiaoxin took out his backpack, opened it, revealing a bag half full of loquats.

The shiny yellow fruits were dotted with raindrops, as Xiaoxin’s bag had been soaked in the rain.

Before entering the game, he and Tan Xiao picked loquats from a tree, collecting lots of them. Then, after exiting the question-and-answer game, he brought them into this place inside his backpack.

Chang Weicai took a big glass bowl from the kitchen, saying, “Xiaoxin, pour out the loquats. They will go bad if they stay in the bag for too long.”

Yan Qingwen’s group also searched around. But they’d come in even more hurriedly than Shen Mo’s group, bringing nothing with them, let alone food.

The only thing that could be classified as a “food item” on Lun Ang was probably his cigarettes, which he had already thrown into the fireplace.

So, altogether, the only food they have among ten people are two packs of instant noodles and a bunch of loquats.

Things were looking pretty grim.

In a low voice, Li Li said, “Earlier, Tan Xiao and I searched the woods and didn’t find any signs of animals. It could be because of the heavy rain If there really is nothing here, we ”

He left his sentence unfinished, but everyone understood his meaning.

If there was indeed nothing here, and the game didn’t begin, they would be trapped here ?and starve to death.

“All of us are players with upgraded data, our physical fitness is stronger than ordinary people, a few days of hunger shouldn’t be a big issue.” Yan Qingwen glanced at his watch, “We had breakfast this morning, then entered the lucky Q&A, which took about an hour. It’s eleven now, not quite time to get hungry. I suggest that at noon, each of us eats a loquat, and we start rationing our food.”

Chang Weicai added, “Let’s keep looking. This house is big, there might be food somewhere. When the rain stops, we can look outside…”

“Let’s split up and look around,” Shen Mo suggested nonchalantly, “While searching, everyone should take turns to shower. A hot shower can help prevent anyone else from catching a cold from the rain and also help regain stamina.”

Yan Qingwen nodded, and consensus seemed to be reached.

So, throughout the afternoon, they went around the house searching, taking turns to shower, and drying their clothes.

Since Bai Youwei was ill and resting, her room was left until last to search.

When Shen Mo entered her room, he found the towel and blankets fallen to the floor. Bai Youwei was quietly lying on the bed, wearing a black dress with white trim.

Her long, slightly curled hair sprawled out like seaweed, almost blending with her black dress, and her skin was so white it was almost transparent, like a delicate doll.

A doll?

Shen Mo felt a chill running down his spine, as he approached and gently called her, “Bai Youwei.”
