I have a bunch of players on Earth - Chapter 26

“Classmate Guo Xiaoyun! If you continue to remain dishonest, I’m going to report to your family that you played truant and drove out with some guys!” When they were eating, a few of the dorm-mates surrounded her and laughed.

The girl who was being teased was none other than the player who suppressed the Liver King in terms of contribution points – Raingirl No Melons.

At this moment, she was currently being surrounded by her dorm-mates and was evidently in a very miserable state.

“You…what nonsense are you talking about?” Guo Xiaoyun’s face turned red. She then explained, “I was really playing games. Maybe…maybe the backup electricity was enough. After all, the electricity provider we chose was from Nanhu.”

“Stop trying to trick us…” All her dorm-mates rolled their eyes. “Do you really think one person is stronger than six?”

Moreover, they had checked the gaming cabin beforehand, and there had been basically no one there!

One of the girls who dyed her hair red smiled evilly. “Don’t force her. This is the first time this little lass drove out in three years. She will definitely feel shy, how can you guys compare her to old-timers like us? We can even discuss the sensitive part of the man after we did the deed, with each other casually.”

“Sensitive part of the man?” Xiaoyun was startled. She glanced in confusion at her dorm-mates. “What is that?”

A group of single girls crowded around their dining table, wanting to hear the opinions of these ‘old-timers’.

“Naturally, I’m talking about the shaft they use in the military. What else could it be?”

“Don’t forget the cladding…” Another girl added on.

Nani?! Most of the girls here nodded when they heard that, as expected of a bunch of very experienced senior school sisters. They knew everything there was to know.

Seeing that the topic shifted away slightly from her, Xiaoyun heaved a sigh of relief. After that, she glanced at the food in her bowl, but she had no appetite at all.

What was going on? Didn’t she lie down in the gaming cabin for almost three days? She didn’t even drink a drop of water. Why was it that she didn’t feel any sense of hunger?

“Eh, did you all hear about this? Yesterday, a monkey escaped from Dream Island. Now, the entire city is keeping a lookout for that monkey.” Wen Shanshan suddenly started a new topic.

“A monkey escaped?” The expressions of everyone changed upon hearing this.

A new virus recently broke out in the South Africa Zone of the D-Planet. The virus used monkeys as their medium and infected a large area in South Africa. The infection speed was extremely fast, and the death rate was 100%!

Now, this already caused wide-spread panic and fear. The Eastern and Western Federation Alliance both respectively locked down all the passageways. In addition, all the monkeys imported to the country from South Africa were all quarantined.

Such a large-scale quarantine caused many zoos to protest, feeling that they were causing panic for no reason at all. It had greatly affected the profitability of those large-scaled zoos and animal eco-parks.

This involved the profit of various capitalists, leading to quarantine work being obstructed in many places. However, in the Chinese Zone, the quarantine work was extremely smooth!

The reason was very simple. From ancient times until now, people in China had never gone against the government when it came to large-scale investments. Even after the Federation was established, the strong attitude of the government here was the same as in the past.

After announcing the quarantine, 80% of the zoos obeyed the law. Only the boss of Dream Island protested. It was then said that he was invited by the authorities to drink tea and had yet to return.

The island was then directly sealed during the second day. Despite the hundreds and millions of revenue, the government didn’t even blink. This caused the remaining zoos in China to instantly become obedient.

Although such action was somewhat tyrannical, the effect was evident. Ever since the D-Planet Federation was established two hundred years ago. There had been a total of thirteen times whereby a global-wide pandemic occurred. The most serious one even affected half of D-Planet. Yet, the central Asia zone had never been badly affected although their population was the most.

As a citizen of the Central Asia Federation, everyone felt that the global-wide pandemic was very far from them. But even so, their expressions still changed when they heard that a monkey had escaped. They began to feel weak in their hearts.

“Where do you think the monkey ran off to?” The red-haired senior curiously asked.

“It should be in the city where our college is located at…” Guo Xiaoyun who didn’t have any appetite suddenly spoke.

“Eh?” Everyone was startled when they heard this. The meats clasped in the chopsticks of a few girls fell back into the plate. They spoke, “Damn lass, you even learned how to frighten people now?”

“I’m not intentionally scaring you all…” Xiaoyun calmly fiddled with some rice grains and continued, “The South African monkeys imported by the Dream Island are pottos and calabar angwantibos. They were split equally among zoos in the B14 area. That area has three large bodies of water, and the only place the monkey could escape to is through the forested area in the B16 area, to the southern mountain, and all the way to the north-eastern side. And as for the places it will pass by, other than the coiling dragon area, it would be the area where our college is located. The coiling dragon area is a well-lit area after the southern mountain. If it escaped there, it would have long since been spotted by the monitoring devices and captured. In addition, monkeys are tree-dwelling creatures. Escaping to our area is undoubtedly the correct choice.”

Everyone: “…”

It sounded very logical!

“Xiaoyun…” The bunch of dorm-mates here were all stunned. “Where did you learn so much knowledge from?”

Guo Xiaoyun herself was also startled. After that, she touched her chin. “I went to Dream Island two years ago when it first opened.”

“You must be joking…” A few of the dorm-mates rolled their eyes after hearing that. “How can you be so familiar with the area just by going there once? You even know which animals belong to which area? And it is two years ago? Do you think you are a prodigy with a photographic memory?”

When Xiaoyun heard that, she fell silent. This was because she felt that her friend’s words sounded incredible. Her memory couldn’t be considered bad, but it was absolutely not at the photographic level. In addition, even if she knew where the animals were located, how was she able to analyze the monkey’s movement so clearly? Was she that familiar with the areas there?

She discovered that after she became a Developer in the game, it seemed that such a thing would happen frequently. Memories of her past experiences would suddenly burst forth from her mind when she needed to recall them. She felt that her brain was like a highly-efficient intelligent computer.

Had she become too obsessed with gaming?

At this moment, a clamor rang out outside the dining hall. After that, they saw the bald vice headmaster bringing a group of military men into it.

Everyone was startled from fright. Xiaoyun narrowed her eyes as she silently mused, “Things wouldn’t be so accurate, right?”

According to her calculations, that monkey traveled from the south to the north, passing by the area her school was in. Her school was precisely located below the southern mountain, and the monkey could have hidden itself in it!”

“Students, please don’t be nervous…” The vice headmaster had a comforting smile on his face. However, that smile looked even uglier than if he was crying. In any case, that smile caused everyone to feel even more nervous.

“I believe you all have seen the news regarding the monkey escape from Dream Island yesterday. The military forces have pursued and captured that monkey successfully. The danger is averted. However, because the monkey appeared in our school and we also noticed that it was fed by someone two hours ago, that monkey might have direct contact with the students from the school. Hence, I beseeched everyone to cooperate with the officers and find out who that person is.”

Guo Xiaoyun felt her face tightening after she heard this. Her brain swiftly whirled. All of a sudden, an extremely casual memory appeared in her mind. A moment later, her expression turned gloomy.

Earlier, when Wen Shanshan had brought up the monkey topic, the red-haired senior at the side clearly had stiffened a little. Her expression also looked a little unnatural then.

At that time, Xiaoyun hadn’t paid any attention to this because she had been thinking about the game she was playing. She had only casually glanced at the unnatural expression of the red-haired senior. Based on logic, one’s mind wouldn’t remember such a casual glance so clearly.

But now, after listening to the words spoken by the bald vice headmaster, her brain automatically dredged up the memory and linked up the information with the facts she heard.

Although she was shocked by her own ability, Guo Xiaoyun at this moment was more concerned with the information conveyed by that scene.

(Could it be…)

(It’s not right…)

When she thought of that possibility, Guo Xiaoyun felt as though her heart had sunk into the ice cellar.
