SHOCK Chapter 5
by REX-NOVELISTSBreaking the Three Views
That was to kill the old man with earlobes reaching his shoulders depicted on the silk cloth.
No conditions were mentioned, just one sentence: kill him to pass the level.
Although killing someone was another matter that challenged Zhou Wu’s Three Views, in this bizarre world, Zhou Wu had no family, no friends, not even a single person he knew.
Of course, the premise was to save his own life.
Zhou Wu glanced around, there was nothing but trees and weeds.
He needed to find himself a weapon, both for self-protection and for killing, after all, killing a healthy and lively person with bare hands was a very difficult task.
Even though that was an old man, Zhou Wu had no reason or cause to strangle an old man to death, just thinking about it made his whole body tingle.
In his familiar world, everything was permissible unless prohibited by law.
So, this mission, besides killing the target, had no other regulations.
Zhou Wu gathered some weeds and dry branches and began the great undertaking of drilling wood to make fire.
It was called a great undertaking only because it sounded easy, but it was very difficult to do.
He really wanted to get some hot food and drink a mouthful of hot water to warm his spleen and stomach.
After drilling for about twenty minutes, Zhou Wu collapsed in despair, looking at his red and swollen palms, and then looking at the numbers under his forehead which had become 213.
He took out the portrait again and carefully examined it. The map above had marked his location.
Zhou Wu sneered, no matter which direction he went, there would be someone in gray cloth gown, white socks and black shoes waiting for him.
Either handing over a roll of silk cloth, or giving some other items.
In short, he still hadn’t escaped the scope of others’ assessment.
If he wanted to get out alive, then he had to obey the arrangements of the strong.
Carrying a well-made two-meter-long wooden stick, one end of which had been sharpened into a spike with gravel, Zhou Wu embarked on the road of killing.
While advancing according to the route on the map, he stuffed food into his mouth, constantly paying attention to the changes in the numbers on his forehead.
After the replenishment of food, the numbers returned to 300.
He walked out of the forest and crossed a hillside.
Looking over the courtyard wall, he could vaguely see buildings with white walls and gray tiles inside.
This was quite similar to the buildings in the picture.
Zhou Wu followed the courtyard wall in search of the courtyard gate.
Before he had gone far, he encountered the first dead man who wasn’t wearing a gray cloth gown.
Compared to Zhou Wu, this person was stocky, dressed in tattered clothes, barefoot, and wore a broken straw hat on his head, covering half of his face.
He carried the same package as Zhou Wu on his back.
From this, it was judged that he, like Zhou Wu, had passed the first level of assessment and was here to find the target for the second level.
The two men were twenty meters apart, cautiously observing each other.
Zhou Wu pondered, since the two of them had appeared here, the assassination target was probably the same.
Killing to pass the level, could it be divided?
If it wasn’t said that it couldn’t be done, then it could be done.
Since it could be divided to pass, then the two sides weren’t enemies.
The other party’s thoughts coincided with Zhou Wu’s, so the two continued to walk forward, and stopped two meters apart.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Wu spoke first, “Going to kill someone?”
He himself felt that the words were awkward, similar to the games he played in school.
But here it was real killing.
The stocky man nodded, “An old man with white whiskers.”
“Divide it?”
“No objections.”
“Wang Jing, Group B.”
“Twenty.”
“How many got out?”
“Two.”
Zhou Wu nodded, better than his Group C, the number of people who got through alive was doubled.
“What about your Group C?”
Wang Jing also asked.
“I’m the only one who passed.”
After saying a few words to each other, the atmosphere gradually eased.
Zhou Wu also walked over and sat on the grass not far from him.
He casually glanced at Wang Jing and found that the numbers appearing under his forehead were 285.
Zhou Wu was very strange, clearly both of them were strong and healthy, and felt very vigorous, how could they only have a few hours of life left?
He suppressed the doubts in his heart and looked around.
“After passing, it’s randomly selected, I think this side is better.”
“Well, Brother Wang, do you know who is controlling us behind the scenes?”
Wang Jing didn’t speak, but looked at Zhou Wu strangely.
Zhou Wu scratched his head awkwardly.
“Brother Wang doesn’t know, I hurt my head when I passed the level, many things are blurry, haha…”
Wang Jing was dubious and didn’t answer his question.
“Brother Zhou, time is of the essence, let’s plan how to complete the mission?”
Zhou Wu raised his hand and pointed inside the courtyard wall.
“What’s there to plan, the target must be in this courtyard, let’s break in and kill him, and then pass the level.”
This time it was Wang Jing’s turn to chuckle.
This kid was clearly perfunctory, cooperation?
It didn’t seem to have any sincerity.
So he stopped talking, and the two fell silent.
Just then, footsteps came from the distance, the direction was towards where the two were.
Before long, a person appeared in the two men’s sight.
Also dressed in tattered clothes, wearing straw sandals, with a slightly disheveled hair bun, and a package on his back.
When she got closer, Zhou Wu and Wang Jing both saw clearly that it was a woman.
Her body was very strong.
Wang Jing was suppressed by her aura and obediently replied, “Group B.”
The woman’s small eyes turned to Zhou Wu.
“Group C.”
She spat on the ground and cursed loudly.
Zhou Wu shook his head secretly, Group A was still powerful, twelve people passed!
Zhou Wu asked in confusion, “Why?”
