Chapter 1632: Chapter 522: An Interesting Decision_2

This is not surprising.

Because of the gender imbalance in Libra City, in the apocalypse, those who survive... are generally more men.

Even in the apocalypse, some instincts are preserved. Men will eliminate those they perceive as threats and who might affect their status.

After clarifying this data, Wen Xishu looked at Liu Jianxin, planning to check the most crucial data.

Wen Xishu said:

"Old Liu, how about you?"

Liu Jianxin was quite anxious; he hadn’t revealed his powers, and Wen Xishu didn’t let him use them, but he was indeed a bit panicked.

Because being just one person, he almost drew all the attention.

Hundreds of thousands of people were guessing about him.

Liu Jianxin said helplessly:

"It’s awful. They didn’t stop guessing my ability after getting it wrong once; instead, they changed tactics and kept guessing my power."

"Telekinesis, making objects lighter, altering gravity, creating repulsion between objects, manipulating stones... Of course, there are also phenomena described, like an ability to make stones fly..."

"Anyway, any ability with visual effects making stones fly—they must have guessed them all."

"Every now and then, hundreds of thousands of people are guessing my ability; sometimes the number drops, but sometimes it even increases."

"It’s endless."

Wen Xishu nodded. It met his expectations.

Once a person’s superpower has visual expressiveness, almost all the audience will speculate on what that ability is.

After all, the other contestants lack visual expressiveness, making it a blind guess without any clues, but Liu Jianxin clearly demonstrated a visual effect of some superpower.

So everyone will keep guessing. If they don’t get it right, they won’t give up immediately but will guess related powers.

This is very good news.

Wen Xishu has now found the target.

"Alright, everyone’s abilities have almost been activated, right? Next, those with visual effects can quietly come to me, tell me your abilities, and I’ll find a way to help you successfully fool the audience as well."

"This way, we can enter Libra City together and find the shelter together. We count as comrades, and if trouble arises in the city, we can watch each other’s backs."

Liu Jianxin’s admiration for Wen Xishu was already as vast as a river.

This vision, these values, this sense of morality.

This is the person qualified to pull me from my obsessions!

Everyone acknowledged Wen Xishu’s words and was moved by them, even Lei Gang thought, could it be that this person isn’t planning to eliminate the second team?

These words sound... so noble and righteous.

But everyone still told Wen Xishu their abilities.

Among them were Lei Gang and the captain of the second team, whom Liu Jianxin referred to as "Anonymous Number One."

Lei Gang’s ability involves touching the ground to produce earth spikes. To activate this power, one must touch the ground, and these spikes are enough to penetrate some monsters in the Dark Forest.

This ability indeed has a very clear visual effect.

So Lei Gang hadn’t found a chance to use it yet; he had originally planned to convince people in the team to help mimic the action.

So he decided to protect the people in the team and play the role of a combat force, thus convincing them to join.

Another person’s superpower is the ability to change temperatures, to extreme coldness, instantly forming ice around them.

The most troublesome ability is one that causes physical transformation.

For example, the captain of the second team.

This guy’s ability was what troubled Wen Xishu the most; his ability lets him grow bones from his arm, these white bones can twist into forms he desires as weapons.

This poses a real problem because the visual effect focuses on the individual. The audience won’t be misled by others.

This also results in his hesitance to use his ability.

Wen Xishu didn’t feel much about this man, but he adhered to the classic mindset from game theory: repay grievance with justice, repay kindness with kindness.

If they don’t violate him, he won’t violate them.

Since these people can be used, as long as they don’t harbor any mischievous thoughts, he will reciprocate.

People from the second team actually felt quite grateful to Wen Xishu.

Wen Xishu contemplated and thought if possible, he should help these people incidentally. He indeed came up with an interesting solution approach.

Wen Xishu had almost collected all the information on those with visually expressive superpowers. Due to his strength and previous actions, everyone chose to trust him.

They soon started moving along. Wen Xishu’s target remained "other challengers."

At first, Wen Xishu had a target, following the Compass for about an hour.

But within that hour, evidently, many things happened.

When Wen Xishu led the team out of the True Talk Marsh and arrived at the "Hunter Belt," the compass needle began spinning erratically.

It wasn’t the danger level of the Hunter Belt disabling the compass.

Rather, another more terrifying outcome.

[Hunter Belt, survival difficulty lv: 79.]

[Only the unluckiest unfortunates will be assigned here because only the strongest jungle hunters live here. And once you enter, don’t think retreating will ensure safety; the moment you intrude the hunters’ territory, they have already surrounded you.]

The top hunters in the forest have evidently constructed a "siege."

They are hidden beneath the ground.

Everyone suddenly halted, as suddenly, the ground began to tremble. Everyone tacitly moved closer to Liu Jianxin and Wen Xishu.

After all, these two are truly the pillars.

If anyone could see the audience, they would probably see the thrill on the audience’s faces. For the audience, not guessing the truth to eliminate these people was exciting.
