Chapter 262 - 262 261 Seems to Be Different from Everyone
?Chapter 262: Chapter 261 Seems to Be Different from Everyone Else Chapter 262: Chapter 261 Seems to Be Different from Everyone Else The backstory began, and all the contestants entered through that door.
The global live broadcast also switched scenes, just like the people who went inside.
Because there were one hundred and twenty teams, the live broadcast was split into one hundred and twenty windows.
In addition, there was one main large broadcast window where the virtual intelligence system of the live broadcast would automatically filter and showcase contestants who were performing impressively, or whose behavior was unique.
This was clearly marked and explained on the live streaming platform’s main window.
Viewers clicking to watch the live stream could freely choose which team to watch.
Typically, viewers from each country would watch their own national team’s performance.
Of course, the main window also had the most viewers.
But at the start, the scene beyond the door astonished all viewers.
“Wasn’t this supposed to be a ‘Deserted Island’? We step through the door and are suddenly in a room that feels incredibly real. How did they pull this off?”
“Didn’t you hear what the organizers said? This is all the result of top-notch 6D technology virtual projection.”
“Right as you descend the stairs, there’s a supermarket, and look at those shopping people; they seem so real. This 6D technology is too impressive.”
“No wonder it’s touted as the most advanced technology in the world. I hadn’t been convinced before, but now I’m sold.”
“Quick, let’s see what the contestants choose to do.”
“Eh, why is Luo Ning gathering stuff in the room while everyone else has already gone to the supermarket?”
“I remember when people went to get their phone watches, the two people at the door would always tell them there’s a supermarket on the first floor. Didn’t Luo Ning hear that?”
“Is it possible he heard and is purposefully searching the room to stand out?”
“Is he really going to be a drag?”
“Luo Ning’s vision seems a bit narrow, only seeing what’s right in front of him. Why won’t he just open the door and go downstairs?”
“I’m dying of anxiety here; everyone from the other teams is nearly at the supermarket gathering supplies, and Luo Ning is still not leaving the room.”
Five minutes later, everyone saw Luo Ning pack up his stuff, sling the bag over his shoulder, open the door, and quickly take the elevator downstairs to the supermarket, just like the others.
Then they saw Luo Ning run to the entrance of the supermarket but then stop, standing at the door and looking at a map.
“What’s Luo Ning doing there? There’s only half an hour; why is she wasting time?”
“Stars will be stars, trying to be noticeable before the broadcast, aren’t they?”
“God, Luo Ning is showing on the main window live stream. Is she going to embarrass herself in front of the whole global audience?”
“Just go into the supermarket to gather supplies, ahh, it’s so exasperating.”
Domestic viewers couldn’t help feeling a sense of frustration at Luo Ning’s apparent lack of competitiveness while watching her look at the map.
Fortunately, Luo Ning didn’t dawdle for long, just tens of seconds, and then she entered the supermarket.
Everyone was about to criticize her when they saw her bypass the food section and choose two watermelon knives that looked of good quality.
Given the apocalyptic setting, it made sense since the projection was so realistic, zombies should be too.
Watermelon knives to hack zombies, that made sense; at least Luo Ning was thinking.
They then saw Luo Ning head to the food section, but noticed she didn’t take much.
“She’s taking so little food; I see others have grabbed a lot.”
“She already took quite some food in that room.”
“Hey, how did she manage to swiftly find flashlights and batteries?”
“Maybe she just happened upon them?”
“Why is she running out of the supermarket now? What is Luo Ning planning to do?”
“Without gathering supplies, what is Luo Ning doing out there?”
“Could it be she’s planning to mooch off her teammates later?”
“In this kind of competition, does she still expect to rely on men?”
“Luo Ning’s choices and actions seem different from the others.”
“Ah, there’s actually a pharmacy outside.”
“How did Luo Ning know there was a pharmacy outside?”
“Maybe she just ran out randomly and bumped into it. But you gotta say, her luck isn’t bad as it seems she’s the first to leave the supermarket and find and collect medicine from the pharmacy.”
“Some people are leaving the supermarket for the pharmacy now, but it looks like there isn’t much time left.”
“It’s dark now; I can’t see anything.”
“All teams have gathered; this technology is insane, I can’t tell at all that it’s a projection. It’s so realistic.”
“That’s what makes it thrilling; if it looked too fake, who would keep watching?”
Yue Xiao and others were relieved to see their teammates gathering together.
Team leader Bo Xuan asked everyone, “What have you all collected? Let’s put everything together and take stock.”
He took the lead and laid out his collected items on the ground.
“Sure!” the others did the same.
When Yue Xiao and his teammates saw the variety of medicines and bandages in Luo Ning’s bag, they were shocked.
And when all the food she had was tallied, it wasn’t any less than what the others had.
There were also a few boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs in Bo Xuan’s bag, but they were far less varied than Luo Ning’s.
Fan Ye looked at Luo Ning and Bo Xuan and asked, “Were there any drugs in the supermarket? Why didn’t I see any?”
Luo Ning answered, “There weren’t any inside the supermarket, but there was a pharmacy outside.”
Fan Ye was taken aback, “How did you know there’s a pharmacy outside the supermarket?”
Luo Ning responded matter-of-factly, “There was a map posted outside the supermarket not only showing the internal shopping areas but also displaying nearby shops.”
“There was a map outside the supermarket? I didn’t notice.”
Fan Ye had chosen to rush to the supermarket the moment he stepped out to collect supplies and hadn’t even finished grabbing what he wanted when the thirty minutes were up.
Not just him, Yue Xiao and Jin Feiyang had made the same choice.
Bo Xuan spoke up, “I also looked at the map, but by the time I rushed to the pharmacy, there wasn’t much time left, and I only found anti-inflammatory drugs before the half-hour was up.”
Then he looked at Luo Ning and asked, “You must have had ample time at the pharmacy, right? Did you spend the least amount of time collecting food?”
Luo Ning replied, “First, I collected all the edible, convenient food in the room, then I headed to the supermarket.”
“The supermarket is quite large, and it would waste too much time to search for everything one by one, so I saved some time in that regard.”
Yue Xiao slapped his own head and said, “That makes sense; we wasted a lot of our time running around the supermarket looking for food.”
“You even found such good watermelon knives. When I reached the kitchenware section, time was almost up, so I grabbed a fruit knife and a kitchen knife in a hurry.”
At this point, everyone was interested in Luo Ning’s bag.
Jin Feiyang looked at the flashlights and said, “You also have flashlights and batteries in your bag. Did you just happen to pick them up?”
Luo Ning felt like facepalming, “Didn’t you guys take a look at the shopping area map before entering the supermarket?”
“Whether I was grabbing the watermelon knife or the flashlights and batteries, I decided beforehand and went directly to the locations indicated on the shopping guide map.”
“That’s how I saved enough time to head to the pharmacy outside the supermarket to get medicine.”
Apart from Bo Xuan, the other three were somewhat bewildered.
“Who checks a map before going into a supermarket?” Isn’t that why we push the cart right in?
