Chapter 90 Reality Show (VI)

No one expected that a dark horse would emerge as soon as the first episode of this season's reality show was aired. In the past, there were also popular artists in every season of reality shows, but they all slowly showed their popularity over time. There has never been one as fast and swift as An Cui, who immediately topped the hot search list and topic list within less than an hour of the show.

It was just like a spark falling into an oil pan and ignited instantly.

Perhaps it was because her reputation was so bad before that the audience had no expectations of her. The contrast was so great that the reaction was so strong. Or maybe people are born to admire those who can smash difficulties with an iron fist.

If this wasn't a live broadcast, they would have wanted to click their mouse and go back to watch An Cui's sharp and cool figure like an action movie heroine.

[I never thought that one day I would be able to watch Ling Fei chopping people to climax instead of looking at her breasts! ]

[Aaaaaah, why do I feel so good watching her chop up zombies!!!]

[I always thought Ling Fei was a brainless vixen with big breasts, but I didn't expect that she is so handsome in real life. She is not as mean and bitchy as people say online. I have become her fan.]

[I guess it's Ling Fei's agency's fault. She's obviously a talented actress, but because she's pretty and has a good figure, they want her to take shortcuts...]

【......】

Even An Cui's agency was shocked. When the boss was watching the live broadcast, the cigarette in his mouth fell on his pants in shock, burning a hole in his trousers.

However, compared to the boss, Qiao Feiying was the one who could not believe it the most. She hated An Cui for not keeping her word. She said she would have breast reduction surgery but didn't do it, which robbed her of the opportunity to be on the reality show. She didn't think An Cui could attract any fans through this live broadcast, and even felt that it would only make things worse. Not long ago, she said this to her sisters with a solemn face, but she was slapped in the face as soon as she finished speaking.

Qiao Feiying didn't see An Cui's wonderful performance before. Now she only saw An Cui surrounded by those popular stars on the live broadcast screen. The attitude of these people who she wanted to get close to but couldn't get close to her was not only not disgusted, but also faintly friendly. She suddenly felt jealous and resentful. An Cui was her shadow. If she didn't fall, she would never be able to get ahead. Now, this shadow is getting bigger and bigger, which makes her suffocate.

So she immediately hired some internet trolls to bring up the negative information about Ling Fei in the past, which outsiders didn't know whether it was true or not, to remind the audience who had forgotten about it in the heat of the moment.

Qiao Feiying's approach was quite effective. After all, it was just the beginning, and many haters were still in a complicated mood. Once these negative materials were mentioned, they became more determined to hate An Cui. Isn't it just that she was able to fight a little? What can this prove? Can it prove that she didn't seduce others, didn't use hidden rules to get promoted, and didn't pay for hype?

At this time, the players in the virtual world are unaware of the excitement in the outside world.

The flow of time in the virtual world is different from that in the real world. It is already late at night in there. After suffering such a great fright and being exhausted both physically and mentally, the group of people practiced their shooting skills and then rested in the room they found by themselves.

However, this level of fighting could not make An Cui so tired that she could not sleep, and she had a question in her mind, so she went to the wine cellar first, took out several bottles of red wine, and then went to the hall.

The bodies were still in the hall and there was no way anyone would come to help them clean up.

An Cui put on gloves and checked the bodies one by one, and even dragged several of them onto the dining table and cut them open with a knife. The bloody scene was of course blurred in the eyes of the audience, but even with the mosaic, the audience knew what she was doing. In addition, there were malicious smear campaigns, so there were many comments in the barrage, such as "so disgusting", "Is Ling Fei a psychopath", "drinking red wine while dissecting corpses, it's scary to see her enjoying it so much".

Soon, a live broadcast room was merged with An Cui's, it was Fu Li's.

The other women had basically given up on their image. They took off their makeup and didn't plan to put it on again. Anyway, their faces would be covered with sweat soon. After being scared and crying, they didn't care about it anymore. However, Fu Li was still wearing his punk makeup. His idol burden must be a ton. At this time, he was wearing a dark red nightgown. He heard the noise and walked over carefully with a gun in his hand. As a result, he saw An Cui dissecting a human body and drinking red wine on the dining table. He was scared to death.

"...What are you doing?" Fu Li asked, his pleasant voice several degrees lower than usual, completely devoid of that arrogant tone.

"Come here." An Cui glanced at him and said.

Although Fu Li was frightened at first, he was not so scared after realizing it was An Cui. He put on his slippers and carefully walked around the limbs on the ground to An Cui's side. When he saw the body in front of An Cui, he showed an uncomfortable expression and said with some disgust: "How can you drink while dissecting a corpse?"

"I'm thirsty. There's no bottled water in the castle. If you're thirsty, it's best not to drink tap water. Who knows if the water is contaminated?"

I see. He felt a little thirsty after hearing this, and just as he saw a cup on the table, he looked at An Cui expectantly.

An Cui took off her gloves, poured him a glass and handed it to him.

Fu Li took it with a somewhat happy look, took a sip, and asked, "Why don't you take a break and dissect these bodies?"

"Come and see."

Fu Li moved closer.

"Look, the organs of these corpses are very fresh, not at all like the organs of people who have been dead for a long time. I was confused before, because when my knife cut these people, the blood was bright red. Look at the blood on the ground, it's all splattered blood, which means that the blood in their veins was flowing at that time. If they were all the zombies that we see in the movies, they should have been dead, and their blood should not be like this."

Fu Li looked at An Cui in shock: "You mean, all these zombies are alive?"

"The script the production team told us before was that the people in City B were infected with the virus and turned into the living dead, so the government blocked City B. They didn't say they were zombies. I wonder if it's possible that they were just infected with the virus and became sick, and not dead."

"So, so what?" In any case, they have become like this. They are enemies. If you don't kill them, you will be killed by them. So whether they are dead or alive seems to have nothing to do with them.

An Cui looked at him seriously, "Don't you understand yet? In other words, the procedure can be reversed. As long as we find the 'medicine', we may be able to cure everyone in the city."

Fu Li was stunned.

Not only Fu Li, but the audience was also shocked. They didn't expect there would be such a setting. A new round of discussion climaxed. There were many points of contention. When An Cui and others held a meeting the next morning in the virtual world, told them about this matter, and said that maybe they could look for clues about the medicine, the differences between the other players and An Cui became more and more heated.

Lin Pinxin said: "But can you be sure that your judgment is correct? We only have ten days, and one day has passed yesterday. If we don't succeed in escaping this desperate city, we will be blown to death."

Yun Shengjie agreed with his girlfriend: "Even the government has given up on this city. They must be helpless against this virus. Isn't it a bit too arrogant for us to want to save a city?"

Fang Wenjun: "Hmm... Compared to escaping from the City of Despair, saving the City of Despair is obviously more difficult..."

Because they are conducting a reality show, the audience will like both themes of Escape from the City of Despair and Saving the City of Despair, but the problem is that the process of Escape from the City of Despair may be more exciting, and the audience likes to watch it more, which is good for their popularity; Saving the City of Despair is more grand, but the process is likely to be boring, and it would be even worse if the ending of saving the City of Despair is not achieved.

By then, their useless efforts might turn them into a joke, and there would be no moving feelings. The other team that had already left the castle might even get angry at them.

An Cui said: "I am just telling you my findings. We are not a team and we don't have to act together. If you have other ideas, you can do it. I will stay here for two more days. If you need any help, you can still come to me. I will tell you what to do, and then I will do what I think is right."

The audience was talking about it. Some thought that since there was a glimmer of hope, they should try it. Some thought that it was too saintly of them to care about others when they could hardly protect themselves. Moreover, An Cui's words were suspected of moral kidnapping, which made others very embarrassed. Fans of stars who had contrary opinions to An Cui naturally spoke for their idols.

[She is so sure that she is so powerful that others dare not leave her. Although what she said does make sense, why am I so unhappy? ]

[You are so self-righteous, just trying to attract attention. Do you think you can be liked by being kind? Little do you know that being too saintly is not pleasing. ]

[It's really ridiculous that you guys are afraid of death and want to follow others, but you still blame others for not following your ideas? Do you think others are your mother? ]

[I'm really curious if there is really an option to save the City of Despair? The script released by the director team did not mention this.]

Everyone likes to watch movies about personal heroism and has some fantasies about saving the world, but everyone is aware of their own insignificance and that it is just one of many daydreams. That is why they sneer at An Cui's idea of ​​saving the City of Despair, thinking that she is participating in a reality show and thinks she is so awesome because her kung fu is put to good use.

Not to mention these big stars and newcomers, the program team almost wiped them out by giving them such an exciting world in the first episode. An Cui actually said that she wanted to save the city. I'm afraid she is so arrogant that she doesn't know how insignificant she is in this city. Looking for medicine? It will take a long time to find it! This is not an ordinary reality show. The guests have scripts. What to do and what kind of program effects to produce have been designed in advance. They just need to follow it. If they are too smart, they will make a fool of themselves.

When Lin Pinxin and Yun Shengjie were talking privately, maybe because they were too unhappy or because they drank too much red wine instead of water, they temporarily forgot that they were on a reality show. They sneered at An Cui's ideas, which even led their fans to attack An Cui.

Everyone else went to practice their shooting skills. The three newcomers who were rescued by An Cui expressed their desire to follow An Cui and her to find medicine, and left. Fang Wenjun and Fu Li stayed.

Fang Wenjun said: "Do you really think there is a reverse procedure?"

An Cui took out her knife and prepared to oil it for maintenance, but Fu Li snatched the cloth and knife away. She glanced at him and said to Fang Wenjun, "Maybe."

"If it's just a maybe, isn't it a bit too risky to choose to do this?"

"It's indeed risky, but I've always done what I think is right. It's your business if you don't like it. I just have a clear conscience."

"Why do you have to be so serious?" Fang Wenjun couldn't help but say that he felt that she was being too serious in a reality show. In fact, it would be better to pretend that they didn't know about their lives from the beginning, and it wouldn't be so troublesome.

"How can I not take it seriously? When I slashed at them with my knife, their blood spurted out. It was warm, and I could feel their hearts beating. So as long as I think about the fact that they were just controlled by the virus and not dead yet, and the government gave up on them all, locked them up in this city, and will kill them all in nine days, I can't remain indifferent."

"What you think has nothing to do with me. As I said, we are not a team. I don't need to explain to you what I should do." An Cui said calmly.

Fang Wenjun was stunned, and his heart was moved. Even if she was just pretending to be kind, it was very touching to say such words. Many of those who scolded An Cui for being arrogant suddenly fell silent.

[Wow, I'm going to be her fan just for what she said! 】

[I don't believe that they pretended because they knew there were people watching. 】

At this time, Fu Li, who was diligently helping An Cui maintain her knife, suddenly said, "I want to team up with you. I want to go with you to find medicine."

An Cui frowned, looking a little disgusted, "Then you'd better wash your face, it's an eyesore."

Fu Li paused in oiling the knife and glared at An Cui.

Fu Li's fans rioted. It was all over. Everyone knew that Fu Li hated being questioned about his makeup and aesthetics. The friendship that had just been established was about to capsize.

As a result, Fu Li stared at An Cui for a long time, and then he said, "You really have no taste for appreciation! I call this avant-garde! Fashionable! Science fiction! Do you understand?"

An Cui: "I don't understand. Go wash it off."

Fu Li: "..."

Fang Wenjun thought for a while and said, "Then I'll join in, too."

He was very curious, whether she was really kind or just pretending to be kind, she aroused his curiosity, so he decided to follow her to see. Many black fans said that he was out of date and wanted to become popular again, but with his achievements and financial resources, he no longer cared about how many readers commented and liked a post. He participated in this season of real movies just because he had no scripts that interested him at the moment, so he came here for fun.

Not long after, the young and handsome Lin Jiaying also said that he wanted to join them. His idea was simple: An Cui was so cool, he wanted to curry favor with her.

Including Fu Li, Fang Wenjun, Lin Jiaying and the three newcomers, 7 out of 13 people decided to form a team.

Because Lin Pinxin and Yun Shengjie were worried that they might accidentally say something bad about An Cui under the eyes of the audience, they thought that if they continued to get close to her it would affect their image and make the audience think that they were too hypocritical, so they had no choice but to form a team of their own and bring in the remaining newcomers.

So while Qin Sisi's team was training diligently and making plans to escape from the City of Despair, An Cui formed a team to save the City of Despair despite the fact that most people were not optimistic about it.
