Dodgeball Smash!

May is summer, the sun has not yet shone on the earth, the cool evening breeze blew through the long East Third Ring Road elevated road. The sky gradually turned a little white, and soon the sky was bright, but the sun was still hiding under the horizon and did not appear.

Tang Mo chose a commercial building on the north side of the East Third Ring Road.

Xu Yunsheng is not an easy opponent. Half an hour ago, Tang Mo told Fu Wen Sheng to hide in the distance and not to come near, Chen Shanshan hid in another building in the distance, and tried to move separately from Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo. Because Xu Yunsheng's target was them, or rather, all the returnees hiding in the East 3rd Ring Road, the only ones they really wanted to kill were Tang Mo, Fu Wenduo, Ruan Wangshu and practicing Yu Zheng.

Tang Mo's patience was so great that he lay prostrate on the roof of the building for a whole hour without moving a muscle.

As the minutes ticked by, Tang Mo lowered his voice, "She should be here by now."

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo are the only two people on the rooftop of this building.

Fu Wenduo: "Yesterday Xu Yunsheng's companions were seen in Xicheng District; they came from the west. Chaoyang District is Chosen's home base, and they wouldn't choose to enter the East Third Ring Road from Chaoyang District. So she should appear from the south and ambush the south side."

So Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo arrive at the building an hour early, focusing almost entirely on the south.

The sun broke through the horizon and shot across the land, a layer of summer heat inevitably erupting from the surface. Tang Mo waited quietly, and after a few moments he said firmly, "She will not show up recklessly." Xu Yunsheng would lay down the gauntlet, but would not be stupid enough to show up alone. Tang Mo turned his head to look at Fu Wenduo, his grip tightened on the small Yang San: "Let's split up, I'll go to the north side, you go to the south. Huo Ji egg contact."

Fu Wenduo nodded gently.

Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo have Huo Ji eggs compared to other players.

It's not just an archive, it's a liaison.

The two of them calmly looked at each other without saying any unnecessary words, their eyes trusting. However, just as Fu Wenduo braced himself on the ground with one hand and prepared to leave the rooftop as fast as he could, suddenly, a crisp crashing sound came from the south.

Fu Wenduo's body lurched, then quickly slumped down.

Both looked south at the same time.

On both sides of the elevated road, a dozen other players had straightened up and looked to the south with stunned gazes. The sound was actually very soft, the sound of a ball hitting the ground. The ball was so elastic that it kept bouncing on the ground, on the car, and back into its owner's hands.

The daylight was bright, and at the end of the elevated road, a black shadow was elongated by the sunlight. She roughly slapped a strange red leather ball and approached step by step. Suddenly she gave a forceful slap of this leather ball towards a high-rise residential building on the left side of the elevated road.

Boom!

The windows were smashed, the ball smashed through three walls in a row, and spiderweb-like cracks crawled all over the walls in no time. The next second, the ball bounced back from the shattered building, and was caught firmly in Xu Yunsheng's hands.

From the southernmost to the northernmost side of the East Third Ring Road, over ten kilometers of elevated road on both ends, hundreds of players all rose up in shock, looking at this gloomy-looking young girl with disbelief.

"Xu Yunsheng?!"

Chen Shanshan looked through the window and got a good look at the man with her binoculars. She was shocked, "How is it possible? How dare she appear so blatantly." The short-haired girl's eyes widened and her mouth slightly opened. However in just a second, she calmed down. Chen Shanshan put down her binoculars and quickly said, "It can't be that simple, Xu Yunsheng is not a reckless person. There must be a reason for her sudden appearance, it is now 4:56 am, and there are still four minutes to go until five o'clock. She deliberately chose this time to appear, she dares to appear directly without fear of others sneaking in, her reliance is ......"

Chen Shanshan picked up the binoculars and stared at the red ball in Xu Yunsheng's hand.

At the same moment, Tang Mo saw the ball.

"What's that?!"

What's that?

The question flashed through everyone's mind at the same time.

Under the brilliant sunlight, Xu Yunsheng slowly grinned a grim smile. With the red ball firmly grasped in her hand, she stood on the southernmost side of the East Third Ring Road, looking at the narrow road in an unobstructed view. The next moment, she opened her mouth and shouted out four names, "Fu Wenduo, Tang Mo, Ruan Wangshu ...... practicing Yu Zheng."

The sound was surprisingly loud for half the road because the whole road was quiet enough.

Xu Yunsheng smiled and she laughed out loud. Then she recited the four names once more before suddenly raising the red leather ball.

"Congratulations."

"--The game, begin."

Bang!

The red leather ball was spun around in her hand and then slammed into the ground with a loud thud.

She used ten percent of her strength. Xu Yunsheng's ten percent strength slapped the ball right through the pavement and smashed it into the earth, smashing out a ten-meter-deep crater and sending smoke in all directions. A sense of foreboding instantly surged through Tang Mo's heart, a sense of foreboding that grew even stronger in Chen Shanshan's precognition. But it was too late.

As the ball smashed through the ground, it shattered with a violent explosion and the sky went suddenly black.

A clear child's voice rang out -

"Dingdong! ' Schrödinger's Dodgeball' has been triggered, ask the player to choose a map."

A laugh escaped Xu Yunsheng's throat as she stomped on the ground, cracking the pavement, "This elevated road!"

"Dingdong! Map confirmed, loading ......"

"Player information is loading ......"

"The East 3rd Ring elevated road in Area 1 of China has been loaded, and at 4:59 a.m. on May 25th, 41 official players, 28 stowaways, and 56 returnees officially entered the map."

The Black Tower's undulating voice echoed over the entire Eastern Third Ring Road, and Tang Mo opened his eyes wide and looked straight at the road in front of him. On the dark ground, only a faint red film could be seen slowly climbing upward from both sides of the road. It seems to be a shell that encompasses the entire East Third Ring Road and the buildings on either side of it, including the building where Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo are standing.

The film climbed higher and higher, finally converging in the sky to form a dome.

When this eggshell was fully formed, a brilliant red light flashed from the center of the eggshell.

Bang!

A firework exploded in the sky, and countless ribbons of color fell from the red glow. At the same time, cheerful music sounded, and children's voices chorused in unison as a pleasant song enveloped the sky over the East Third Ring Road. In this incomparably pleasant background music, the mechanical voice of the Black Tower seemed to come alive-

"Ding Dong! The large-scale individual game ' Schrödinger Playground of Dodgeball Mayhem' is officially open."

"Rules of the game--"

"First, the game is one hour long."

"Second, all players may only touch the dodgeball with their elbows (and below) and knees (and below)."

"Third, the person who gets hit by a dodgeball in some other part of the body fails out of the game and must leave the field by frog jumping within one minute."

"Fourth, friendship first, competition second."

"The great Mr. Schrödinger hates it when people say that all cats like to play with balls, so he made an amazing red dodgeball. You're the one who likes to play ball, your whole family likes players!!!! -- So says The Great Schrödinger, and so does the exclamation point."

The Black Tower's voice ended abruptly, but in the sky, ribbons of color continued to fall.

Several cries of alarm rang out from both sides of the elevated road, soon followed by the sound of a fight or two. But both the shouts and the fights ended quickly.

The players who dared to come to the Eastern Third Ring, whether they were surviving players or returnees, were among the best of them and were quite confident in their strength. But no one could have imagined that they would be counted by Xu Yunsheng alone!

No wonder the last hour was requested, not just to give yourself a way out, but for this game that was limited to one hour!

No wonder the request was for the East Third Ring Road, as this elevated road is not good for hiding and makes it easier to play a game of dodgeball!

The music was still playing, and the colorful ribbons kept floating down. In the midst of this intense and joyful music, Tang Mo's face gradually became ugly. He looked at Fu Wenduo in silence, and Fu Wenduo also looked at him. The two looked at each other and stood up together, no longer hiding. Because above their heads, a red spherical light kept flickering.

The red ball of light was unmistakable in the darkness.

One bright red light after another snapped on one after another from the southernmost side of the elevated road, as if the lights were on.

Red orbs of light were scattered sporadically on both sides of the elevated road.

The nearest red ball of light was in the building next to Tang Mo. The man was hiding on the 17th floor in the middle of the building, and when he noticed the light above Tang Mo and Fu Wenduo's heads, he gave them a scornful look. Determining that there were two of them and that he had no chance of winning, he turned his head and ran without a moment's hesitation.

Tang Mo looked at the red ball of light above his head, and then at the one above Fu Wenduo's head.

The blinding light pierced through all wall material and was unmistakable in the night sky.

...... was surprised to see that Xu Yunsheng was behind this!

A moment later, Tang Mo laughed back in anger: "I'm afraid even Shanshan wouldn't have imagined that Xu Yunsheng would have such a prop."

Tang Mo is not in a hurry, however, as this game of dodgeball includes all the players on the elevated road, so he and Fu Wenduo can't really lose with their skill. Besides, Xu Yunsheng might not be able to find them. There are so many people, the game time is only one hour, the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark.

"Xu Yunsheng is right there." Tang Mo turned her head, her eyes narrowing as she stared at the black dot in the distance.

Fu Wenduo's wrist moved, and his right hand instantly became a black sharp weapon. "Approach quietly."

"Yes!"

Another good thing about the darkening sky is that it is easy to hide. Tang Mo finds Chen Shanshan and asks her to find Fu Wen Sheng, and they find a place to hide. Suddenly a game of dodgeball begins, and as expected, Tang Mo doesn't intend to let Chen Shanshan intervene. This is clearly not a game for Chen Shanshan.

The red ball of light was very conspicuous, and at first everyone dared not move at will, and when they saw the ball of light, they avoided it from afar.

After sneaking two kilometers, Tang Mo found a short building to hide in. At this point he was only five kilometers away from Xu Yunsheng, and with his eyesight he could clearly see Xu Yunsheng's closed eyes.

Tang Mo: "What is she doing?"

Fu Wenduo quickly observes, "Is that a dodgeball in her hand?"

Tang Mo notices the red ball in Xu Yunsheng's hand.

The ball had fallen from the sky and landed in Xu Yunsheng's hand, not the one she had shot in the beginning. Instead of throwing the ball, she stood still, eyes closed, hands raised, facing the sky, wondering what she was thinking.

"What's she doing?" Li Miaomiao said breathlessly.

In the middle of the elevated road, there were fourteen cars rear-ended one after another, steel cars crashed into a ball of iron. In the middle of this mess of car crash debris, there were three red balls of light that were silent in the midst of it.

Li Miaomiao cursed in frustration, "This Xu Yunsheng actually has this kind of props, if she does that, all of our positions are exposed. What the hell is she trying to do, holding a dodgeball and standing over there without moving or throwing the ball." Though furious that all of his party had been pitched by this sixteen year old girl, Li Miaomiao still remembered to lower his voice. "Head, are we really not going to change our position? This ball of light has exposed all of our positions."

Ruan Wangshu : "Does switching positions work?"

Li Miaomiao was dumbfounded for a moment.

Practicing Yu Zheng coldly said, "You can't hide anywhere, this ball of light can penetrate all matter and be seen by others. What we need to do now is to wait and see what happens, we are three people, ordinary people wouldn't dare to do anything."

Li Miaomiao: "Chief, so what do we do next?"

Ruan Wangshu said the same thing as Tang Mo: "The enemy is in the light and I am in the dark. All of us have been dragged into this game, and it's true that we've been calculated by Xu Yunsheng, but she's in a really bad position. We ......" The voice ended abruptly, and Ruan Wangshu's face changed as he looked ahead.

Only a middle-aged man was seen running to the front of the ruins in a stiff position, his eyes wide and staring straight at the three red balls of light in the middle of the ruins. He breathed hard, and he breathed very oddly, as if a drowning man was panting as hard as he could, trying to gasp his lungs out of his chest. The heavy panting sound was very abrupt in the dark night.

Practicing Yu Zheng flipped his hand and took out a small silver-colored knife, indifferently waiting for the man to come closer and closer.

Just as the man came completely up to the trio, he leaned down and saw the three Ruan Wangshu hiding in the rubble. Red blood surrounded his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched eerily as his entire body shook. He slowly opened his mouth and smiled eerily, his vocal cords shaking stiffly as he said, "Found, found ...... you guys ......"

A silver light shone brightly, practicing Yu Zheng's knife cut the middle-aged man's artery in a single stroke. Blood sprayed all over the ground, but the man was still laughing.

In the next second, Xu Yunsheng, who had been standing in the center of the road and hadn't moved, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a cold, bloodthirsty smile.

"Ruan Wangshu, practicing Yu Zheng."

She eyed ahead and grabbed at the air with her left hand.

Tang Mo hides upstairs, surprised, "What's that?"

One could only see two players in the three buildings around Xu Yunsheng with red orbs of light on top of them suddenly collapsing to the ground, their bodies twitching twice. When they climbed up again, their postures became very stiff, and they ran out of the building together, straight towards the ruins of a car accident three kilometers away in front of the elevated road.

At the same time, Xu Yunsheng let out a furious cry and flung her right hand, the red dodgeball being slammed forward by her with great force.

Fu Wenduo and Tang Mo said in unison, "Is this dodgeball?!"

A red dodgeball whooshed and pierced the air, slamming into the ruin with frightening speed.

Three kilometers away, six seconds!

Five hundred meters per second!

The ruins were directly smashed by this ball, and steel flew around, making ear-piercing sounds. The dodgeball brushed past Li Miaomiao, who stumbled backwards, cursing angrily, "What the hell kind of dodgeball is this, bullets aren't even that fast!"

Before the words could hit the ground, the dodgeball crashed into the elevated guardrail. The ball curved out in an arc, reflecting and shooting back at Li Miaomiao, as if recognizing her.

"Fuck!"

At the same moment when the red dodgeball hit Li Miaomiao, four players flew in. They were like puppets being manipulated, their movements were stiff, but their actions were incredibly decisive. They ignored Li Miaomiao in unison and rushed straight towards Ruan Wangshu and practicing Yu Zheng.
