……

Once the Valor Peak Hunting Battle ended, the entire map was retracted.

However, the audience in the viewing room didn’t understand what was going on. Why did it suddenly end? Shouldn’t there be a duel to the death between ReturnToSimplicity, the first Marksman, and Summoner, the dark horse? Or was it supposed to be a special hunt? But this just ended without a thought.

[Wait??? The two were talking just now, right? ReturnToSimplicity knows Momo?]

[I’m shocked, the two actually know each other?]

[Damn, if it weren’t for the fact that there’s no voice over in the hunting ground viewing, I’d really like to know how this ended!]

[I didn’t get it, can someone tell me how this ended!]

When Yu Zhen came out of the hunting ground, he immediately clicked on Momo’s chat box, and saw that the other party didn’t read his latest message.

–[There’s a problem with the special hunt, the mastermind didn’t point out the survival mechanism, so pay attention.]

There was no other message in the chat box, it was a message he had sent to Su Mo after he and CloudTraveller had realized that there might be a trap in the rules of the hunting ground before the opening.

At the beginning of the hunting ground, the rule was to decide the winner to the last surviving player, but in the final hunt, a special hunting mechanism was stuffed in, and everyone habitually went to think that this rule was just a kind of environmental elimination, and that if there was a 1vN situation, it should be divided according to the player who had survived for a longer period of time.

But the rules didn’t make it clear that if all players are killed in the final hunt, does that count as [surviving to the end]? Death does not count as survival.

Yu Zhen ordered Momo to join the team. But at that moment, a notification popped up in front of his eyes in red characters— Your friend [momo] has gone offline.

Yu Zhen’s eyes were stunned, and he immediately realized what might have happened.

The neighborhood was exceptionally quiet late at night, Yu Zhen hurriedly came out of his room and encountered Grandma Cheng who was planning to go inside to rest.

“Xiao Zhen?” Grandma Cheng was surprised, “Is something wrong? You’re in such a hurry.”

Yu Zhen said, “You take an early rest, I have something to do.”

***

Su Mo’s heart was still beating fast when he opened his eyes. His hands and feet were cold, and he watched as Lele was giving him a medical injection.

The alarm bell of the loader was casually pressed off by him, and a message from the medical station side asked if an ambulance was needed …… Su Mo watched this soberly as he pressed off the request for an ambulance, and seemed to be able to feel the cold liquid of the medical needle running down the back of his hand and all the way up his arm.

It was too cold.

Lele was like a calm and orderly robot at this point; instead of panicking, it functioned according to the established procedures of a medical robot, and after the medical injection, it turned around and brought the test instrument and strapped it to Su Mo’s hand, staring at the data that kept pulsing on the instrument.

“I want to drink water.” Su Mo looked at it.

“You don’t listen.” Lele said, rushing off to get him hot water.

The pulsating data on the medical instrument fell under Su Mo’s eyes, the data was pulsing fast and slow at the peak of level II, close to level I, but not quite jumping up to the level of critical illness. Su Mo knew very well that since the last accident when he was sent to the hospital, the medical index of the loader’s alarm was adjusted from the original level I to level III, which is the lowest level, to exaggerate a little bit, even if he caught a cold or had a fever, he would also trigger the alarm, from the lowest level to try. Level III was the lowest level, even if he has a fever, it will trigger this type of alarm to test his body from the lowest level, in order to give the host of the loader and the robot time to operate in case of an accident.

However, the highest level of medical equipment was level I. Once it reaches this value, the medical station will directly send a rescue medical car to take him to the hospital.

Su Mo’s mind was in turmoil, he was looking at the medical index, hoping that the cold instrument would know what he meant and calm down as soon as possible.

But then he thought about the Final Hunt, ReturnToSimplicity’s final choice, which was indeed the fastest solution, and he knew what ReturnToSimplicity meant by the best way –

By ending the match before the special hunt you wouldn’t enter the special hunt time, and you wouldn’t face a 2v125 situation. But PKing in that kind of environment was unfair to both of them.

He just didn’t understand why ReturnToSimplicity had to go this far when the two were just friends who had known each other for a few months.

When he thought about it, Su Mo couldn’t tell the feeling, he was the type of person who kept his relationship very clear, but suddenly he didn’t know how to go about separating his current relationship.

“Su Mo, hot water!” Lele rushes over and is about to hand Su Mo the warm water when he suddenly hears the doorbell.

The doorbell stopped the robot and Su Mo subconsciously looked to the medical index before reaching the door of the aid car. Not expecting a visit at this hour.

Lele said, “I’ll go check it out!”

It finished and darted over to the door, and from its view inside the door, it saw a man standing at the doorway, and compared to its database, it was Yu Zhen, a neighbor who had been on the doorstep before.

“Su Mo! Mr. Yu Zhen is coming over.” Lele stood in the doorway, as a robot, he would not open the door without instructions while his master was still in an emergency situation.

The doorbell rang again. The person at the door seemed to be in a hurry. Su Mo slowed down for a moment, “Lele open the door, tell him I’m asleep and won’t see him.”

Lele opened the door on command, “Mr. Yu Zhen?”

Yu Zhen came all the way here and calmed down when the door opened.

He saw it and said, “Lele, is Su Mo resting?”

“Hello.” Lele followed the instructions, “My master is asleep ……”

At that moment, a small sound suddenly came from within the room, followed by the sound of something being knocked over. Yu Zhen paused slightly at the sound, what sound?

The robot Lele butted in and looked back, seemingly in a hurry to get back.

Yu Zhen instantly reacted, “Excuse me.”

He went straight into the house, and met a person who was pressing the living room table trying to stand up in the living room, the instruments on the table were accidentally knocked over, the blanket on the floor was wet, and the cup of water rolled out to the outside, it was almost a mess.

Lele, “Su Mo! I couldn’t stop Mr. Yu Zhen ……”

It came in and saw the situation, immediately went over to try to support, but saw Yu Zhen had already moved quickly to carry the half-kneeling person on the floor to the sofa, the voice was stern and concise, “Lele, is it? Contact the medical station rescue car.”

“No need.” Su Mo’s head was covered with fine sweat, but he was unusually awake, “There is emergency medicine in the left drawer.”

He was too cold, he just wanted to get a cup of warm water, but he didn’t expect to knock something over by mistake.

Yu Zhen inclined his head to see the target drawer, once he pulled it open it was the sound of bottles and cans crashing together, he saw a drawer full of medication with no way to pick it up.

By this time the robot Lele had already held up the medical instruments and re-tied them to Su Mo, the index on the screen continued to jump and finally stopped at the level II. Lele jumped without stopping, it added for its master, “Mr. Yu Zhen, it’s the green bottle on the left.”

“Go pour a glass of warm water.” Yu Zhen took out the green bottle, saw the dosage from the label affixed to it, and poured out six straight.

He helped the person sit up, but when he touched his hand, he felt the boy at his arm was cold, and pulled the blanket next to him to wrap it around him, “Level II, Su Mo, your current body level is unstable, it’s best to go to the medical station and let the doctor take a look.”

Su Mo held a cup of warm water with both hands, no longer having the heart to ask Yu Zhen why he would come to the door at this time, his attention was fully on the medical instruments.

He hoped more than anyone else that the index would not go up any further, he insisted on medical checkups several times a year, and in the years when his body was at its worst, he paid attention to his body to the extreme, even once taking nutrients for half a year in order to meet the nutritional standards, and insisting on exercising and adhering to the indexes in exchange for a better and better body nowadays.

Even if this life ends with the only F-class physique, he also felt that he is lucky, at least he wasn’t like the other serious F-class patients, forever living in the critical care medical room.

It was normal for the medical level to fluctuate, but at this moment, it took on another meaning.

In the past, when such a drastic fluctuation occurred, it would end up jumping to level I and become uncontrollable, but now that so much time has passed, it was still at level II, and hasn’t jumped over that dangerous value …… Does it mean that he can get better and better.

Time passed minute by minute, the medical level gradually smoothed out, and finally stopped at the position of level II downwards.

Yu Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask Su Mo when he realized that the boy had fallen asleep leaning on his arm.

“Su Mo?”

Probably because he was too cold, Su Mo hunkered down wrapped in a blanket and leaned against Yu Zhen’s arm that was holding him up. His breath was weak, but his breathing was still steady.

Yu Zhen paused slightly as he asked Lele to send the data from the medical instruments to Su Mo’s attending doctor before undoing the straps on the boy’s arm and carrying the youth into the house to rest under the guidance of the robot, Lele.

This was the first time Yu Zhen entered Su Mo’s room.

The room was very cozy, with children’s tender drawings hanging on the wall, as well as pictures of beautiful landscapes. The alarm clock on the desktop was still a child’s model, and it should have been used for a long time, and the surface had several scratches …… robot parts, half-assembled wooden puzzles on the table, and data paper completed by measuring and calculating ……

He carefully placed Su Mo on the bed, pulled the covers over him, hooked up the medical instruments again, and put a glass of warm water next to him.

Time went silently past 12 o’clock, Yu Zhen came out of Su Mo’s room and saw the robot Lele cleaning up the mess all over the floor.

He saw the loader sitting on the couch and suspiciously walked over to look at the data.

He had read the details of the F-class loader. Su Mo’s loader was returned to the field and reset, at that time, the medical level was adjusted to level III, but just now Su Mo’s condition was level II, could there be a problem with the loader?

If there was a problem with the loader, it would definitely be a fatal point for Su Mo with an F-class physique, so he couldn’t just sit back and do nothing.

Yu Zhen skillfully opened the loader’s appearance settings and saw that the various medical components inside did not show any problems, but suddenly noticed an ingenious procedure. Someone had utilized the connection to make a small mechanism that scratched the original time backward, making the originally specified 11:00 pm at night turn into 1:00 am in the morning.

This bypassed the Carrier’s Alert System, so that the Medical System and the Carrier’s Special System were not notified of the change in the first place, so that the Carrier’s side, which was concerned about the safety of F-class medical care, did not get the exact information.

The robots linked to the house didn’t have the authority to make changes on their own initiative, so the only one who could do so was Su Mo himself.

Su Mo had prepared for this hunting battle early, changing the alarm settings, apparently ready to fight until 1am.

Yu Zhen’s eyes were slightly stunned when he saw this.

In addition to the possibility of hidden traps in the hunting ground, there was another selfish motive for him to end the hunt by committing suicide.

For him, the rewards of the hunting ground were dispensable for ReturnToSimplicity, but Su Mo’s body couldn’t hold up to one high-intensity battle after another.

When he accidentally learnt of Momo’s reality and his unusual physique, he couldn’t help but want to care for him or reduce his stress.

But in reality, he has already confused Momo with Su Mo, but he had forgotten to consider that this is only his unilateral belief, Su Mo may not need his consideration.

Su Mo was longing for and serious about this game, treating it as a broad competitive arena, while he, because of his own thoughts, was thinking of his body as an older brother, neglecting to consider whether Su Mo really wanted such concessions.

As an older brother to Su Mo, he did nothing wrong.

But as a friend, he did wrong.
