Weird Apocalypse: Rebirth Starts with Trillions of Ghost Money

Chapter 1476 A Deeper Understanding of the Path to Survival: Leave it to me, you can rest assured.

Hong Wenli also noticed it, and his voice was a little tense: "Boss Chen, the recipient is really speeding up! Why did he suddenly accelerate? We won't be able to catch up with him!"

For Hong Wenli, all the pressure is on his side.

Chen Mu and Xiao Ye still have one last letter; they can try again.

However, this is likely the only time Hong Wenli will have to do this. If he doesn't handle it well, Lin Shanshan's death will be his future.

Having witnessed Lin Shanshan's death firsthand, Hong Wenli felt even greater psychological pressure.

He clutched the letter tightly, constantly wiping the sweat from his palms, afraid that the sweat would wet the envelope.

At such a critical moment, I hope the recipient won't cause any more trouble.

Seeing Hong Wenli's nervous look, Chen Mu smiled and patted Hong Wenli on the shoulder, "Don't worry, I already know why the recipient sped up the package."

"Why, Mr. Chen?" Hong Wenli asked hurriedly.

Chen Mu smiled and pointed to the army of zombies behind the sedan chair through the pulled-back curtain.

"Nonsense! Look how many zombies are following us. With so many zombies coming and guarding a sedan chair, who knows if the sedan chair is actually the Zombie King? If you were in that situation, wouldn't you run?"

After Chen Mu explained it this way, Hong Wenli immediately understood.

Holy crap, that actually makes sense.

Chen Mu patted him on the shoulder again, "Don't worry, our sedan chair is faster than the recipient. We'll catch up with him in less than five minutes."

Hong Wenli was temporarily relieved, thinking that with such a large army of zombies, the recipient would be well protected.

Once you catch up with the recipient, drive away the zombies around them, and then have the recipient open the envelope in front of you, you can fulfill the requirements of the rules!

This time, I'm in the bag! Working with Boss Chen is really great.

Clearly, Hong Wenli's understanding of the four rules is currently only superficial and based on subjective assumptions.

Chen Mu's understanding of the rules has reached the level of five key characteristics.

It even reached the stage of purposeful, unrestrained imagination.

The two are on completely different levels of understanding.

Chen Mu had no choice but to explain to Hong Wenli slowly. After all, this difference in understanding couldn't be bridged in just a few words.

Even after a few explanations, Hong Wenli still refuses to believe it. People are always unwilling to believe things they cannot imagine.

Hong Wenli didn't notice that Chen Mu's expression had subtly changed when he saw the recipient speeding away.

The recipient was still running away. Was he hiding from zombies, or from... the postman?

At that moment, a bold guess had already formed in Chen Mu's mind.

Once a stamp is affixed to a letter, it will be automatically delivered.

What is automated delivery?

And most importantly... the rules don't say that automatic delivery means delivery to the correct location.

"Automatically delivered to the correct destination"—only the first four words are explicitly stated in the rules.

"Getting to the correct destination" is something that players unconsciously fill in in their own minds.

This is hard to detect; yet another mental trap.

Chen Mu realized it was a trap, and it was only at this point, combined with his own wildly imaginative and bold ideas, that he suddenly understood it.

In the rules, the truly deadly traps are not tongue twisters or obvious word games.

Most of those who end up on this bizarre mission are not fools.

Even if we can't figure it out right away, if we brainstorm and keep trying to break through in this direction, we'll figure it out sooner or later.

This kind of trap can only be considered difficult, but not dangerous!

The truly dangerous ones are those that seem fine at first glance, and upon closer inspection, also seem fine—they might even be overlooked unintentionally, without being given any serious thought.

This kind of trap is the most deadly.

Because it didn't even give you a chance to think, it allowed you to successfully deceive yourself by filling in the blanks with your own imagination.

The greatest danger is letting players deceive themselves!

Clearly, this "automatic delivery" is a trap!

The rules only mentioned automatic delivery, but didn't say that automatic delivery was successful.

Once he saw through the trap, combined with a bold leap of thought, Chen Mu's eyes immediately lit up.

A bold guess immediately popped into his mind.

This conjecture was bold, but when applied to events that had already occurred, Chen Mu instantly discovered that these past events suddenly became clear.

At this moment, all those incomprehensible things found a reasonable explanation.

"Is the truth... really like this?" Chen Mu murmured to himself, "Is this how one finds a way out?"

Of course, so far, this is just Chen Mu's own bold conjecture.

Based on this conjecture, Chen Muneng could vaguely deduce a possible way out.

However, whether this path to survival is correct still needs to be verified.

Before verification, no one can guarantee that the path to survival they have deduced will be viable.

Chen Mu himself couldn't guarantee it. He was confident, but not arrogant.

He will also admit his mistakes, and admitting mistakes and then making improvements is a sign of being adept at handling things.

Therefore, Chen Mu is still one last step away from taking this step.

That is to find an opportunity to verify the survival strategy I have deduced!

Validating a way out is itself a form of validation of that way out.

According to the unspoken rules of these bizarre missions—any path to survival is acceptable, provided one's own life is not in danger—the mission can be verified!

Chen Mu looked at Hong Wenli, silently wondering: Is there really no danger to his life?

No, there is, but the one in danger of losing their life is not myself.

This unspoken rule also implies a deeper understanding—that one's own safety does not mean that others' lives are not in danger.

Just like the unspoken rule in a bizarre post-apocalyptic world—in bizarre missions, you must always leave yourself a way out!

However, leaving a way out does not mean that everyone can make it through, nor does it guarantee that everyone will survive.

This unspoken rule only guarantees that everyone has a chance to survive.

As for the size of the opportunity, it depends on luck or the competition of strength.

Luck itself is also a kind of strength.

The survival of the fittest in this bizarre mission is evident!

This is the cruelty inherent in bizarre missions. The remaining path to survival is like a ray of warm dawn shining down in a cruel, dark forest.

Chen Mu thought to himself, and from this perspective, the path he had taken in his life perfectly matched the criteria he wanted to verify.

Since that's the case, then... let's begin the verification!

As Chen Mu thought this, he looked in Hong Wenli's direction.
