Time ticked away, and night silently fell.
Ji You, who had been safely hidden in the cave, didn't know how long had passed when she discovered that her Life Value had dropped by 8%. She hadn't done anything; the drop in Life Value was due to hunger. The Life Value recorder worn by each new student in the training ground could monitor the state of the body in real time—hunger, sickness, suffering attacks... all would reduce the Life Value, and if a fatal injury was sustained, the Life Value would instantly empty, eliminating one from the game.
Ji You took out some drinking water and had a sip.
Afterward, she checked the current number of surviving students: 4209.
This meant, in just one day, 791 people had already been eliminated.
How brutal!
Ji You originally planned to crawl out and check the situation, but upon seeing the death toll, she chickened out immediately and retracted back into the cave.
