Bai Youwei’s face was pale and she immediately looked at Shen Mo, who was in front of her.

He was holding a small toy gun in his hand!

They were still on the highway. The car had stopped at some unknown time and, except for the sound of the wind, their surroundings were quiet.

The two of them exchanged glances and they knew very clearly in their hearts: What had happened just now wasn’t a dream!

Without saying a word, Shen Mo got out of the car to check the conditions of the other cars.

Those who participated in the “The Rabbit and The Turtle Race” game, except for the two of them, had all become dolls——

They couldn’t speak or breathe, and their gelatinized flesh became connected with spherical joints. Their eyes become dim and lifeless glass beads… Those people had lost all signs of life.

Bai Youwei murmured, “That’s how it is… if you lose the game, you become a doll; if you win the game you are rewarded a doll…”

It turned out to be like this…

That’s why the world became like this…

It was like pulling away the mist; everything should have suddenly cleared up, but what they saw was endless darkness, unknown fear, tension, and terror. However, there was also faint excitement subtly hidden in those emotions…

With mixed thoughts, Bai Youwei held the rabbit doll in silence.

Shen Mo returned to the car with a sullen expression.

“We’ll leave here first and talk later,” he said.

“Ok.”

…

The highway was straight and smooth as if it had no end.

Only one car was speeding along the empty highway.

Looking at the monotonous scenery that was going by outside the window, Bai Youwei was sitting in the car and she wore a dazed expression.

It was too crazy…

Games, dolls, rewards… These concepts felt absurd to her.

If there was a game in every place where there were dolls, wouldn’t the city become a copy of the game? Hasn’t the world become a game map?

Where was Yangzhou?

Was Yangzhou really safe?

When Bai Youwei thought of this, she grabbed her handbag and turned on her phone, but she found that there was no signal.

The call couldn’t get through and the network couldn’t be connected.

“Turn on the radio.” Bai Youwei realized something.

Shen Mo seemed to have noticed too and raised his hand to turn on the car radio.

There was a rustling sound on the radio.

Bai Youwei stared at the radio without blinking.

Resting one hand on the steering wheel and pressing the channel button with the other, Shen Mo looked at the road ahead. With each press, there was a two-second pause.

Continuous white noise echoed through the car.

After dozens of tries, he retracted his hand, turned off the radio, and said, “There’s no signal.”

The communication systems had gone down. The telephone, internet, radio… they had all lost their function.

When had it happened?

When the game started?

No one knew.

Bai Youwei’s face became even more pale. She didn’t care about what happened to the world, but she cared about herself. If the end of the world really came, how would she live?

She pinched the fluffy rabbit in her hand tightly while thinking: This horrible game was really worse than having a bloodbath!

Shen Mo glanced at her from the rearview mirror and asked, “Do you have a clue about the rabbit doll in your hand?”

The seemingly childish and ridiculous plush toy was said to be a reward of ‘one-tenth’ of the Bunny.

Bai Youwei, a little hesitant, moved her lips.

Of course, she had a clue. In fact, the first time she touched the rabbit, the relevant information appeared in her mind. It felt strange yet inexplicably natural.

But, was Shen Mo trustworthy?

Bai Youwei thought for a moment then replied, “This rabbit can release electrical energy within a radius of two meters, and the electrical energy can reach up to one-tenth.”

As she spoke, she curled the corners of her mouth slightly, then said, “The voltage and current value isn’t stated, so it’s not clear how effective this one-tenth is. Also, it needs to be charged to be used.”
