Chapter 182 - Prisoner's Dilemma (2)
Qiu Zhengxun turned to his younger brother. "I know you think she's pretty. So you're reluctant, but there's plenty of pretty girls. If you like her type, I'll have people bring back some."
Qiu Zhengxun looked over Bei Nuan again. "She's no good. From the first time I saw her, I thought she was a scourge. Don't be fooled by her looks."
Bei Nuan secretly complimented him. As expected of Master Qiu, he was a good judge of character.
Qiu Ji didn't respond to that. He only seriously asked Qiu Zhengxun, "Big Brother, what does she have to do for you to let her go?"
He had also seen that Qiu Zhengxun was determined to kill her.
Qiu Zhengxun and his brother had a stare off for a long time.
Qiu Zhengxun finally said, "Isn't there a new way of doing cage fights? If she can survive three of those cage fights, then I'll believe that even God doesn't want her to die."
Bei Nuan was taken aback. She had already killed a zombie yesterday. She had to kill more now? Was he showing off that he had a lot of zombies? So much so that he always had more left to kill?
Moreover, she knew there was nothing good about the new way of doing cage fights. It couldn't be that she would have to use her mouth to bite the zombies, right?
Qiu Ji's expression changed. "For most people, it's already impressive if they can win one of those cage fights. You want her to win three times?"
As he was speaking, the metal gate behind them suddenly moved a bit. The hinges on the gate creaked.
They were in a cave. It was impossible for it to be windy here. Even if there was a wind, it wouldn't be able to push such a heavy metal gate.
Everyone looked at the gate, but they couldn't figure out what happened. They didn't take the creaking seriously.
However, Bei Nuan understood. It was as if Lu Xingchi was asking her, what did she have to be afraid of?
Bei Nuan smiled and asked, "You guys have to keep your word. If I can win three times, will you let me go?"
Qiu Ji paused before persuading Bei Nuan, "Don't do it. This time, you can't simply win just by holding the gun steadily. Your opponent will be a human, not a zombie. Humans are much more terrifying than zombies."
With Lu Xingchi around, she wasn't even afraid of ghosts, let alone humans.
Bei Nuan resolutely said, "No problem, I want to give it a try."
Even Qiu Zhengxun looked at Bei Nuan again. He happily agreed with her, "Okay, I'll let you go if you win three times."
Bei Nuan could tell from his expression that he was sure she would die. She silently chuckled. He was in for a surprise.
Knowing Qiu Zhengxun's character, she knew that he wouldn't let her go even if she won three matches. But since Lu Xingchi already gave his go ahead, she would go. No big deal.
Bei Nuan followed them out of the storage room.
As it turned out, she had soundly slept through the night on Lu Xinchi's lap, and it was a new day. The casino was open for business, and it was once again bustling.
People were working in the kitchen at the back of the casino, and there were people coming and going in the hallway. Everyone was busy with their work. The news that Uncle Shi had been bitten by a zombie only made a splash before disappearing.
Countless people were pouring into the casino, and it looked the same as yesterday. There was still no natural light, but it was brightly lit with artificial lighting. There was a cacophony of voices. It was like a doomsday carnival.
There was a throng of people waiting in front of the stage.
Qiu Ji glanced at his brother. "Big Brother, you're so busy. Why don't you go do your own thing?"
Qiu Zhengxun sat down in a comfortable seat. "I'm not leaving till I see her finish the cage fights."
Bei Nuan thought; let me translate that for you. I'm not leaving till I see a zombie gnawing on her. Master Qiu was determined to be in conflict with her.
"So what's the new way of fighting in a zombie cage?" Bei Nuan asked Qiu Ji.
Qiu Ji patiently explained. A metal fence had been added to the middle of the cage, separating the left and right sides. A zombie and a person would be placed on each side, and each side would fight the zombie fight concurrently.
The actual cage fight wouldn't be any different from before. The difference happened before the fight. Each person would be given two cards. One card had a human on it, and the other card had a wolf.
There were only two bullets, and the bullets would be distributed based on the set of cards played. The players could each play either card, but the distribution of bullets was different based on the set of cards.
If both players played the human card, they would each get a bullet to kill the zombie. If one person played the human card, and the other person played the wolf card, both bullets would be given to the player with the wolf card. The other player would have to face the zombie with an empty gun. If both people played the wolf card, then neither of them would get bullets. Without bullets, both players would die.
"We tried out this new game for several days. Most people will lie," Qiu Ji said to Bei Nuan with worry in his eyes. "Everyone swears they'll play the human card to try to trick the other person into playing the human card. They plan on tricking the other person into playing the human card and playing the wolf card themselves so they can have the two bullets for themselves."
Ordinary people didn't have the confidence that they could kill a zombie with one bullet, so the most advantageous tactic was to trick your opponent into playing the human card while you played the wolf card.
The problem was, when both people thought that way and played the wolf cards, the outcome was terrible. Neither of them would have bullets, and they would die together.
