Weirdness is coming: Chen Mu Nugui started with trillions of ghost coins

Chapter 1476 A Deeper Understanding of the Path to Survival: Leave it to me, you can rest assured.

Hong Wenli also noticed it, and his voice was a little tense: "Boss Chen, the recipient is really speeding up! Why did he suddenly accelerate? We won't be able to catch up with him!"

For Hong Wenli, all the pressure is on his side.

Chen Mu and Xiao Ye still have one last letter; they can try again.

However, this is likely the only time Hong Wenli will have to do this. If he doesn't handle it well, Lin Shanshan's death will be his future.

Having witnessed Lin Shanshan's death firsthand, Hong Wenli felt even greater psychological pressure.

He clutched the letter tightly, constantly wiping the sweat from his palms, afraid that the sweat would wet the envelope.

At such a critical moment, I hope the recipient won't cause any more trouble.

Seeing Hong Wenli's nervous look, Chen Mu smiled and patted Hong Wenli on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I already know why the recipient sped up the package."

"Why, Mr. Chen?" Hong Wenli asked hurriedly.

Chen Mu smiled and pointed to the army of zombies behind the sedan chair through the pulled-back curtain.

"Nonsense! Look how many zombies are following us. With so many zombies coming and guarding a sedan chair, who knows if the sedan chair is actually the Zombie King? If you were in that situation, wouldn't you run?"

After Chen Mu explained it this way, Hong Wenli immediately understood.

Holy crap, that actually makes sense.

Chen Mu patted him on the shoulder again, "Don't worry, our sedan chair is faster than the recipient. We'll catch up with him in less than five minutes."

Hong Wenli was temporarily relieved, thinking that with such a large army of zombies, the recipient would be well protected.

Once you catch up with the recipient, drive away the zombies around them, and then have the recipient open the envelope in front of you, you can fulfill the requirements of the rules!

This time, I'm in the bag! Working with Boss Chen is really great.

Clearly, Hong Wenli's understanding of the four rules is currently only superficial and based on subjective assumptions.

Chen Mu's understanding of the rules has reached the level of five key characteristics.

It even reached the stage of purposeful, unrestrained imagination.

The two are on completely different levels of understanding.

Chen Mu had no choice but to explain to Hong Wenli slowly. After all, this difference in understanding couldn't be bridged in just a few words.

Even after a few explanations, Hong Wenli still refuses to believe it. People are always unwilling to believe things they cannot imagine.

Hong Wenli didn't notice that Chen Mu's expression had subtly changed when he saw the recipient speeding away.

The recipient was still running away. Was he hiding from zombies, or from... the postman?

At that moment, a bold guess had already formed in Chen Mu's mind.

Once a stamp is affixed to a letter, it will be automatically delivered.

What is automated delivery?

And most importantly... the rules don't say that automatic delivery means delivery to the correct location.

"Automatically delivered to the correct destination"—only the first four words are explicitly stated in the rules.

"Getting to the correct destination" is something that players unconsciously fill in in their own minds.

This is hard to detect; yet another mental trap.

Chen Mu realized it was a trap, and it was only at this point, combined with his own wildly imaginative and bold ideas, that he suddenly understood it.

In the rules, the truly deadly traps are not tongue twisters or obvious word games.

Most of those who end up on this bizarre mission are not fools.

Even if we can't figure it out right away, if we brainstorm and keep trying to break through in this direction, we'll figure it out sooner or later.

This kind of trap can only be considered difficult, but not dangerous!

The truly dangerous ones are those that seem fine at first glance, and upon closer inspection, also seem fine—they might even be overlooked unintentionally, without being given any serious thought.

This kind of trap is the most deadly.

Because it didn't even give you a chance to think, it allowed you to successfully deceive yourself by filling in the blanks with your own imagination.

The greatest danger is letting players deceive themselves!

Clearly, this "automatic delivery" is a trap!

The rules only mentioned automatic delivery, but didn't say that automatic delivery was successful.

Once he saw through the trap, combined with a bold leap of thought, Chen Mu's eyes immediately lit up.

A bold guess immediately popped into his mind.

This conjecture was bold, but when applied to events that had already occurred, Chen Mu instantly discovered that these past events suddenly became clear.

At this moment, all those incomprehensible things found a reasonable explanation.

"Is the truth... really like this?" Chen Mu murmured to himself, "Is this how one finds a way out?"

Of course, so far, this is just Chen Mu's own bold conjecture.

Based on this conjecture, Chen Muneng could vaguely deduce a possible way out.

However, whether this path to survival is correct still needs to be verified.

Before verification, no one can guarantee that the path to survival they have deduced will be viable.

Chen Mu himself couldn't guarantee it. He was confident, but not arrogant.

He will also admit his mistakes, and admitting mistakes and then making improvements is a sign of being adept at handling things.

Therefore, Chen Mu is still one last step away from taking this step.

That is to find an opportunity to verify the survival strategy I have deduced!

Validating a way out is itself a form of validation of that way out.

According to the unspoken rules of these bizarre missions—any path to survival is acceptable, provided one's own life is not in danger—the mission can be verified!

Chen Mu looked at Hong Wenli, silently wondering: Is there really no danger to his life?

No, there is, but the one in danger of losing their life is not myself.

This unspoken rule also implies a deeper understanding—that one's own safety does not mean that others' lives are not in danger.

Just like the unspoken rule in a bizarre post-apocalyptic world—in bizarre missions, you must always leave yourself a way out!

However, leaving a way out does not mean that everyone can make it through, nor does it guarantee that everyone will survive.

This unspoken rule only guarantees that everyone has a chance to survive.

As for the size of the opportunity, it depends on luck or the competition of strength.

Luck itself is also a kind of strength.

The survival of the fittest in this bizarre mission is evident!

This is the cruelty inherent in bizarre missions. The remaining path to survival is like a ray of warm dawn shining down in a cruel, dark forest.

Chen Mu thought to himself, and from this perspective, the path he had taken in his life perfectly matched the criteria he wanted to verify.

Since that's the case, then... let's begin the verification!

As Chen Mu thought this, he looked in Hong Wenli's direction.

When Chen Mu looked at Hong Wenli, he knew that this was a test of his own survival by using Hong Wenli as a pawn.

However, Chen Mu was very confident in his speculation.

This is most likely the only way out, so Hong Wenli should be able to survive.

It could even be said that, for Hong Wenli, whose understanding is still very shallow, Chen Mu is the only person who can save him right now.

If you want to survive, taking the risk to test it out is a fair trade.

only……

Just before taking action, Chen Mu suddenly remembered the three emails in his mailbox.

Four people, only three letters.

This should be the last letter between myself and Xiaoye.

At that moment, Chen Mu suddenly realized.

It turns out that the number of envelopes was also a potential clue!

However, this clue is difficult to understand if one knows nothing about it.

Only after making a guess, and guessing a way out, will you look back and suddenly understand!

"I see, that's interesting, that's interesting indeed."

Chen Mu smiled slightly. His earlier doubts, the doubts he had when the strange mission first started, were now explained in a reasonable way.

At this point, the sedan chair was no more than one kilometer away from the recipient.

It was a flat road, and the three people in the sedan chair could vaguely see the recipient's figure.

Several zombies were chasing the recipient. The recipient seemed to be driving a beat-up car, accelerating wildly in the left lane.

Players who want to overtake can only do so on the right, meaning Chen Mu's side is right next to the recipient.

Chen Mu looked at Hong Wenli. Instead of resorting to violence, he sat down next to Hong Wenli and comforted him:

"Brother Hong, it's almost at the recipient's address. Are you a little nervous?"

Hearing Chen Mu say this, Hong Wenli couldn't help but nod repeatedly, feeling as if he had "said something that really resonated with me."

Chen Mu continued to comfort him, "It's alright, Xiao Ye and I will help you, it won't be a problem. Xiao Ye will drive the sedan chair closer to the recipient, and you can then slip the letter into their arms."

Hearing Chen Mu's comforting tone, Hong Wenli felt a warmth in his heart.

He had participated in several bizarre missions and knew how rare it was to have a teammate who was willing to comfort and help you during such missions.

However, Chen Mu changed the subject and said with some concern, "I'm just a little worried that you might let me down?"

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?" Hong Wenli asked.

Chen Mu, trying to mislead, explained, "Look how fast our sedan chair is going. The recipient's speed is just as fast."

When they get close to the recipient, Xiaoye will first command the zombie army to clear out and protect the area around the recipient.

Then stand by the sedan chair window and hand the letter to the recipient.

The recipient is near me, so you have to lean out and press your body against me to reach your hand out.

"What if you're too slow, or you don't have a good grasp of it, and the letter just falls to the ground with a thud? What will you do then?"

Hong Wenli hadn't grasped the point yet: "It fell on the ground? Then pick it up."

"No, no, no, it's too late," Chen Mu said. "The zombie army behind us is running so fast, we can't stop in time."

If the letter falls to the ground, just imagine, tens of thousands of zombies will trample over it, wouldn't that ruin the letter?

In that case, wouldn't that also be considered 'opened without permission'? Did you then mail it on the spot?"

Hearing Chen Mu say that, Hong Wenli felt a jolt in his heart.

However, he still asked, "Why don't we just stop and give the letter to the recipient? Running so fast is really too dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu looked at him as if he were an idiot, "Dude, are you stupid? The recipient is running! He's moving fast."

If we stop the sedan chair, how can we catch up with the recipient? How can we deliver the package?

So we need to keep moving at high speed, alongside the recipient, and then give them the letter while we're at it, before persuading them to open it. Only then will our mission be complete!

The kind of thing you're thinking of, like forcing the recipient to stop or something. Please, we're controlling an army of zombies. Do you dare send tens of thousands of zombies to force a human to stop?

"If by accident the recipient just dies, you're finished too."

Hong Wenli slapped his forehead. "Oh my god! Boss Chen, I was confused. What you said is so right, so true!"

Look at my head, when I get nervous, I get all confused. Mr. Chen, you're right, that's definitely the way to do it.

However… it's really not very convenient for me to hand the letter to the recipient. How about we switch places, Mr. Chen?

Chen Mu shrugged. "The sedan chair is so cramped. If we three men were crammed in, we'd be bursting. There's no extra space for you to move to another seat."

Hong Wenli looked at it and confirmed that it was indeed as Chen Mu had said.

"What should we do, Mr. Chen? I'm leaning out with half my body extended, but I'm really not very confident..."

Hong Wenli also became anxious. After Chen Mu's peddling of anxiety, his hand holding the letter trembled with worry.

Chen Mu patted his thigh, then patted his chest and said, "Dude, have you forgotten about me?"

I'll sit right next to you, just leave it to me.

"I don't need to lean out halfway; I can just lift the curtain and hand the letter over. Isn't that more convenient than what you do?"

Hong Wenli thought about it and realized that it did make sense.

Chen Mu was closer to the recipient; the recipient was right there when the curtain was lifted. Letting Chen Mu do it was easier and more reliable than having to lean out and crane one's neck.

But doing so would mean handing the letter over to Chen Mu.

The letter was a matter of life and death; if someone else opened it, he would be doomed.

To hand over something so vital to one's life to someone else.

To be honest, Hong Wenli was still a little hesitant.

Seeing his hesitant look, Chen Mu was speechless. "Dude, what time is it? This is a critical moment for the strange mission!"

What are you doing? Are you hesitating and doubting me?

Please, it's zombies and weird bosses that want to kill you, not me.

I've always been on your side. We're all players, all in the same boat, why would I harm you?

I initially took this letter out of my mailbox, but I gave it to you without hesitation.

I'm helping you now, and helping myself! Hurry up and finish this damn weird mission, then we can leave, and you can go home.

You can rest assured that I'll handle things!

When he heard the word "home", Hong Wenli's heart skipped a beat.

Hong Wenli gritted his teeth, nodded, and handed the letter, slightly damp with sweat, to Chen Mu:

"Mr. Chen, I've always trusted you! I feel at ease leaving this matter to you!"
