Chapter 19 – Choice
Yu Hanjiang suddenly thought of a question. "By the way, a few days before the accident, did you come in contact with playing cards?"
Xiao Lou thought of New Year’s Even when his cousin pulled him to play Fight the Landlord and blurted out, "On New Year’s Eve, I played a few games of cards at home." Seeing the look of ‘as expected’ in Yu Hanjiang’s eyes, Xiao Lou could help being confused. "What do you mean? The rules of selection for the Card World is related to playing cards?"
"I’m just guessing," Yu Hanjiang replied. "The day before the accident, I went to my uncle’s house for some New Year’s greetings and played a few games of cards. There are card elements everywhere so maybe it really is related to playing cards."
"It is related to cards…" Xiao Lou touched his chin and looked thoughtfully at the card wall in front of him. "In the end, we played cards, were selected by the Card World and killed in the real world? Or were we selected by the Card World after we died because we played cards? This order is critical."
"Yes, if it is the former then the Card World’s ability is beyond our imagination. It can create accidents at any time after selecting the player, killing people in the real world." Yu Hanjiang frowned and held his arms as he thought. "If it is the latter, can we understand this as the world where souls go after death? Only those who have played cards will come here after dying?"
"There are too few leads and we need to find other challengers to seek evidence." Xiao Lou concluded.
"…" The Clubs teenager stood to the side and listened to them chatting. They had met again after a long separation and obviously forgot the presence of the keeper.
Yu Hanjiang stated, "No matter the rules of the selection, this world is too real."
"It is like a huge came." Xiao Lou carefully considered the adjective and said, "When I left the Spades room by helicopter I found that there were many copies of the Zombie Town, just like an instance in a game. The four keepers can also split into countless copies to go to different spaces and talk to the challengers, just like NPCs in a game?"
"I’m not an NPC." The Clubs teenager interjected.
"…" The sudden voice startled the two men and they looked back at him.
"I’ve always been here, can’t you see?" The Clubs teenager’s voice was filled with some doubts.
"Cough." Xiao Lou thought they had been talking too much and actually ignored this guy. He looked at the teenager and asked with a smile, "Yes, how long can we rest? It was hard to get through all the D-grade secret rooms. Surely we don’t have to go to the next level immediately?"
"A 30 minutes break." A of Clubs replied. "At this time, you should become familiar with each other and discuss which secret room to go to next."
"The rules of the Card World’s selection…" Xiao Lou hadn’t finished his words when A of Clubs interrupted. "Don’t ask me, I won’t disclose any information to you."
"Okay." Xiao Lou dispelled his ideas.
Since the two people’s space had merged, the rest sofa became two and there was a table in the middle. Xiao Lou nodded and Yu Hanjiang and went to the sofa to sit down. Yu Hanjiang also followed.
A 30 minutes break allowed them to rest and exchange information with each other.
Yu Hanjiang asked, "What cards did you get in
Since they teamed up, it was necessary to know the card situation of their teammate.
Xiao Lou took out his card pack and put it on the table and Yu Hanjiang did the same.
The Rose Funeral plot card, the fruit knife and the rose perfume were from perfectly clearing the 2 of Hearts secret room. The Zombie Virus and Special Effects Vaccine were from perfectly clearing the 2 of Spades secret room. Both people had these cards.
For the 2 of Diamonds secret room, Yu Hanjiang didn’t get the Folding Paper. However, he still had the Nine Palaces Grid. He found that Xiao Lou didn’t have it and was very surprised. "Where is your Nine Palaces Grid? This question should be the simplest and I remember that you also refreshed the world record of the 2 of Diamonds room. How can you not have Nine Palaces Grid?"
Xiao Lou smiled bitterly. "I ran out using it on the zombies."
Yu Hanjiang, "…"
What did this person go through in Zombie Town? He actually used up all of Nine Palaces Grid?
Xiao Lou saw that his Nine Palaces Grid hadn’t been used and asked with surprise, "This card hasn’t been used? Then how did you clear Zombie Town and set a world record?"
Yu Hanjiang whispered, "I picked up a stick in the street. The zombies are slow and I hit them in the head to kill them."
Xiao Lou, "……"
Xiao Lou, whose legs were sore from running crazily, didn’t know if he should laugh or cry after hearing Group Leader Yu’s words.
It seemed that Yu Hanjiang really used a bulldozer to push past.
Yu Hanjiang saw the Tao Yuanming card on the table and couldn’t help wondering, "This card can really summon Tao Yuanming?"
"That’s right." Xiao Lou pointed to the image of the character on the card and said, "The summoned Tao Yuanming looks the same as the one drawn on the card. He can find the Peach Blossom Spring once every 24 hours. Tao Yuanming’s skill is very strong and I can instantaneously move to the space, avoiding a crisis at a critical moment. The current card level is 3 and I can bring two people in. However, I have already used this card today and it can only be used after 24 hours."
"Once you have a chance, bring me in to take a look." Yu Hanjiang looked at the Tao Yuanming skill description with great interest. He followed up with the two cards of the compass and zombie leader. "The Compass is good. You can draw weapons at any time. This zombie leader is Liu Xiaoyuan?"
"It’s him." Xiao Lou asked, "Did he ask you to open the door at the end?"
"Yes."
"How did you deal with it?"
"I saw he was dead and I killed him," Yu Hanjiang stated calmly.
Xiao Lou, "……"
It was estimated that Liu Xiaoyuan didn’t have time to scream and summon the zombies before Yu Hanjiang used the stick to kill him. No wonder why Yu Hanjiang could perfectly clear the instance in 15 minutes. The man completely used violence to clear the instance.
Xiao Lou felt helpless—Group Leader Yu was the correct way to play the survival secret room!
Yu Hanjiang handed his own cards to Xiao Lou. "These are the S-grade cards that I drew."
Xiao Lou picked them up and took a closer look.

It was a super light sniper gun, painted in dark silver, with a metallic cool light and a crescent-shaped mark that echoed the ‘Silver Moon’ name.
Xiao Lou got the Tao Yuanming card after clearing the 2 of Hearts secret room. He thought the style of this world was strange and others also drew strange summoning cards. He didn’t expect there to be such serious weapon cards.
This weapon wasn’t powerful in his hand. He hadn’t touched a gun and couldn’t use it at all.
However, in Group Leader Yu’s hands, it was like adding wings to a tiger.
Yu Hanjiang was a policeman and should be proficient in all types of firearms. The presence of this gun meant he could definitely kill targets from a long distance and it would be useful in future survival rooms.
Xiao Lou picked up the other S-grade card.
