Chapter 340 Infection Game [VI] Breaking the Balance

"The third round ends. There are now 3 zombies and 19 humans on the field."

When the host, Quailshou, finished speaking, the people present did not feel surprised by the result. Instead, the black-robed people gathered together seemed to be relieved.

Each participant is calculating in his or her mind what scores others might get, thinking about who has fewer scores and who has more scores, planning to approach those with fewer scores, and rejecting those who might have more scores.

Bearded Lily's eyes occasionally fell on the white tiger woman sitting alone on the side. While he was deducing the future plan in his mind, he was also wary that someone might come into contact with zombies, which would destroy the existing Nash balance among humans.

A pale flash of lightning tore through the thick darkness.

Scotland has been keeping an eye on the door of Room 3. Mingyue and the mafia have not appeared yet. His lips are pursed into a straight line, and he can't help but wonder in his heart whether they will turn into zombies because of this. If that is the case, it might be a good thing.

However, the next second, the white light dissipated, and Mafia Karen, wearing a red dress, appeared at the door of Room 3 holding Mingyue's hand and stepping on the roar of thunder.

The dark red skirt was slightly lifted, and the gamblers who were watching widened their eyes. Although they didn't know what the underworld princess looked like under the lion mask, her graceful figure was enough to make them unable to take their eyes away. Some people even had their eyes almost popped out, and there seemed to be crystal liquid at the corners of their mouths.

The Elk housekeeper felt those gazes and wanted to stop them, but she felt that doing so would be a loss of dignity and grace. She frowned and could only protect the young lady and be vigilant about the gamblers' every move.

Mingyue raised her lips slightly, looked at Mafia Karen, and said with a smile: "Sister Mafia, they are all looking at you with fascination."

Mafia Karen naturally noticed it, but pretended not to see it. The cane in his hand continued to slide rhythmically on the ground, and he asked calmly and indifferently, "Really?"

"Of course~" Mingyue smiled with her eyes curved.

The tall parrot girl swept her eyes like a sharp blade across the infatuated gamblers. If she was not unsure of the eldest lady's intention, she would have dug out the eyes of these scoundrels.

The raccoon man walking at the end of the crowd looked at the black wolf in the crowd, and seeing the inquiry in his dark green eyes, he slowly withdrew his gaze and followed Mafia Karen silently.

Lei frowned slightly, and his eyes finally fell on Mingyue's hand that was being held. If she wanted to break free, she should be able to, but even if she did, she couldn't escape from the cruise ship, so it didn't make any sense whether she broke free or not. Lei thought so in his heart, and his eyes moved to the porthole.

There was a storm outside the window, and huge waves were surging. At this moment, there was no way to leave the cruise ship except death. Even the lifeboat could capsize in this storm. I just hoped that the storm would not cover too large an area.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the porthole glass with a crackling sound, blurring the vision.

The Elk housekeeper pulled out a chair and said softly, "Miss, please sit here."

Mafia Karen touched the chair leg lightly with the cane in her hand, walked over slowly, released the hand holding Gray Rabbit, smoothed the folds of her skirt back along the waist, and the piled skirt hung on the edge of the chair like a condensed waterfall, her empty eyes fixed on the host beside the crystal ball.

Quail Head looked at the underworld princess who had arrived late, and felt vaguely that something had changed, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He could only attribute it to the discomfort caused by her dressing style being very different from before.

When the big-backed baboon saw the tabby cat girl running to the blind lion with a smile on her face, he rolled his eyes, glanced at Lady Lily beside him, and stood with his hands hanging down without saying a word.

Bearded Lily watched Gray Rabbit pulling Parrot Girl to the Brown Bear with narrowed eyes. But when she thought about how she had come into contact with the Brown Bear, her nervous heart slowly relaxed. She whispered, "Pay attention to who the Mafia will come into contact with."

"Yes, sir." There was a hint of excitement in the voice of the big-backed baboon. His clenched fists trembled slightly, and his eyes were staring straight at the tabby cat that was in contact with the blind lion.

Rumbling--

Thunder sounded, and after a brief deafness, Bearded Lily looked at the person who came with surprise.

"Contact?" Scotland had a gentle smile on his face. "I'm curious about what the winning formula you proposed before was. Can you tell me?"

Bearded Lily looked at the hooded gray wolf in front of her and said in a sweet voice, "Didn't Mr. Red Fox tell you? I talked to him for a long time in the last round."

Scotland chuckled, "He won't tell me."

"Oh? Really?" Bearded Lily's voice took several turns, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"If Mr. Monkey doesn't want to make contact, then I'll go find someone else." Scotland turned his head to look in the direction of the crystal ball, where the parrot girl was making contact with the brown bear.

The cruise ship rocked slightly.

The tall parrot girl looked at the crystal ball covered with spider-web-like cracks and asked, "If this crystal ball is broken, how can we make contact?"

"The crystal ball is an important prop." The host Quailshou's voice was like a pool of stagnant water, as if no matter how the cruise ship shook, not a ripple could be seen.

"Then you must protect him well." The parrot girl glanced at the host and turned to leave. She walked very fast and returned to Maffia Karen in the blink of an eye. She stared at the raccoon man with displeasure, recalling what happened on the stairs not long ago.

Parrot Girl didn't expect that when she finished making a satellite call and left the captain's room, she would be discovered by Raccoon Man. In the end, the eldest lady knew about it, but she didn't panic. She controlled her facial expression and sneered, "I did use the satellite phone, but not to transmit information, but to investigate you."

"What is there for me to investigate?" The raccoon man looked indifferent, as if he was not the central figure of the topic.

"Of course, we are investigating why you are here. After all, the actions of the young lady are always confidential."

The raccoon man said calmly, "I'm definitely here for the arms line, but I never thought that the young lady would come here. If I knew you had plans for this, I probably wouldn't have boarded this cruise ship."

The elk housekeeper looked at the raccoon man seriously, her eyes were sharp, trying to find flaws from his subtle changes in expression, but the raccoon man was calm and unperturbed. She had no choice but to turn her head to look at the parrot girl, "Using a satellite phone on this cruise ship will definitely be eavesdropped, don't you know that?"

Facing the accusation of the Elk Housekeeper, the Parrot Girl subconsciously bit her back teeth and said calmly, "I know, so I will definitely not pass on the news. This time I just want to find out someone's true identity."

"Is your source of information reliable?" The raccoon man looked calm. His eyes fell on the gray rabbit beside the young lady. He lowered his voice and said, "Your method of diverting attention may work on others, but not on me. As for why you do this, I know it very well, and of course you know it too."

"You know?"

"Ah."

The parrot girl could not read any emotion on the raccoon man's face, but her own heart was beating very fast, like raindrops hitting the glass.

The raccoon man continued, "However, there are some things that I will talk to the young lady about privately, and I will never do it like you."

"What do you mean? Explain it to me clearly!"

"Stop arguing! The young lady has gone far away." The elk housekeeper shouted to stop the two from arguing and took a few quick steps to catch up with the young lady.

The parrot girl also hurriedly took a few quick steps, turned her head slightly, and glanced at the raccoon man who was still walking at the back. She felt that the raccoon man's words were full of hidden meanings, and she felt a little uneasy for no reason.

Could it be that he really discovered something? No, I was very careful in those things. Even the eldest lady's personal butler didn't find out. How could this person know? The parrot girl thought to herself, but her hand unconsciously rested on her lower abdomen.

click-

The white light from the lightning stung my eyes, huge waves hit the side of the ship, the ground swayed from side to side, and the sound of objects falling could be heard from time to time.

Rumbling--

Deafening thunder exploded overhead.

The loud noise brought the parrot girl back to her senses, and then she heard the voice of the elk housekeeper: "According to the original agreement, we will contact them now."

The parrot girl stared at the crystal ball in front of the host, watching the frog in the black robe come into contact with the orange pig. A bold plan took shape in her mind. "No, I have a new plan and I really want to put it into practice."

The Elk housekeeper frowned slightly, feeling that the situation was out of control again, and warned sternly: "Don't mess around!"

"Don't worry." The parrot girl raised the corner of her mouth, seeming to be very confident in her plan. She took a few quick steps and came to the crystal ball, then heard the orange pig woman asking the yellow cow girl to contact their leader, the frog.

Then, the scalper girl placed her hand carefully on the crystal ball, as if she was afraid that if she used too much force, the crystal ball would suddenly explode.

The parrot girl seized the opportunity and placed her hand on the crystal ball. This sudden change left the three men in black robes stunned.

The orange pig woman was the first to come to her senses and quickly warned, "Stop it now!"

Hearing this, the scalper girl withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, and stared at the parrot girl who suddenly appeared with displeasure in her eyes.

However, the black-robed leader, Frog, did not take back his hand from the crystal ball. He just looked at the tall parrot girl and said, "Miss Parrot, if you want to contact us, it's fine. But why do you want to do this?"

"Oh, are you willing to contact me now?" The parrot girl stroked the cracked crystal ball with her fingertips. "You rejected me many times before. If you are willing to contact me, then please put your hand on it, Miss Orange Pig."

The orange pig lady turned around and looked at the host, "How do we calculate the points in this case? It should be a conflict with the rules of the game, so no points will be awarded."

The host, Quailshou, curled his lips slightly, with a hint of pleasure in his voice, and replied: "This is equivalent to one person coming into contact with two other people, and the two pairs are scored. It does not conflict with the rules."

The parrot girl's lips curled up, her eyes shining with excitement. She thought she had found a way to win easily.

But the expressions of the three men in black robes were not so good. The black robe leader Frog slowly withdrew his hand, and the orange pig woman estimated in her heart the possible score of the parrot girl.

"Put your hands up quickly." The parrot girl raised her chin towards the orange pig woman.

"Sorry, I have already contacted others in this round. How about we contact them next round? It would not be good if we contact everyone at once and there is no one to contact next round." The orange pig woman politely rejected the parrot girl, took a step back, and prepared to leave.

"Your score shouldn't be high. You will be eliminated if you don't make contact. Or you can choose to become a zombie." The parrot girl raised the corners of her mouth, with uncontrollable joy in her heart.

Rumbling--

This thunder seemed to explode in everyone's heart. The original strategy of only interacting with low-scoring people was broken at this moment. New hidden rules emerged. How will the direction of this official game change?
