During the plot mode, the entire Foundation was almost at a standstill, with many important departments on holiday.
Ten or eight days would be acceptable, but if it lasted for several months, the losses for the Foundation would be too great.
Therefore, the entire testing process was actually only ten days long.
Furthermore, phased testing could not be conducted. If phased testing were to occur, those who tested later might guess the existence of the test and react differently.
Among the five safe camps, thanks to Wen Wen's presence, Luan Xing's camp was the most relaxed.
But now that Wen Wen had left, that place would also enter hell mode, and everyone would die once in the next two days.
Next, Wen Wen made a circuit of the other four camps and found that Luan Xing's group indeed had the most survivors, while one group had only two people left.
That pair of survivors had not been attacked by an irresistible monster; it was mainly due to one person.
This person was named Ander. Like Luan Xing, he was a small captain in the armed forces department. However, he was once a highly successful assassin in the Coding Organization.
Ander enjoyed being an assassin and the feeling of ending others' lives. But after joining the Foundation, he rarely experienced this feeling.
While at the Foundation, he had always suppressed his instincts because he knew the Foundation's power. He couldn't go against the prevailing force, and if he were to kill innocent people in the armed forces department, he would surely be killed by Wu Ma.
But it was different in this survival game. Here, no one knew his identity, there were no legal restraints, no moral standards, it was like a paradise built specifically for him, Ander.
So, after lying low for two days, Ander began to show his strength, killing a few people who disobeyed him, and then using the remaining people as cannon fodder.
He observed that whether it was fierce beasts or monsters, an attack would kill at most one or two people and would not pursue them to annihilation.
Therefore, as long as he ensured there was cannon fodder to sacrifice first, he could persist until the end.
But now, Ander was also feeling uneasy because, in the end, only one piece of cannon fodder remained.
This piece of cannon fodder was very agile and was able to survive until the end, but compared to Ander, he was as fragile as a lamb.
Ander felt that this guy could last at most until tomorrow, and from the day after, he would have to face these monsters himself.
Suddenly, Ander saw a strange figure crawling towards him in a peculiar posture.
How strange was the posture? Approximately every meter, the body could twist two or three times up, down, left, and right. The joints were twisted into unnatural shapes, and the overall movement was like a bizarre dance.
This person was, of course, Wen Wen. After learning of Ander's actions, Wen Wen prepared to make him leave early.
As for why he came in such a strange manner, it was naturally to add some fun.
Then he instructed Wu Ma to ensure that this Ander would die accidentally in future missions due to a slight "misplacement."
Ander rubbed his eyes. According to previous experience, only one monster attack should occur per day. A large bug had just come, so why was another one… a peculiar species?
Looking at the state of this peculiar species, Ander knew he was a difficult opponent. So, he didn't plan to confront Wen Wen and decided to run away, letting this guy kill the cannon fodder while he survived.
But to his surprise, the cannon fodder he had tied up had already broken free and had run far away, even waving goodbye with a smile.
"Impossible, he couldn't have run faster than me, unless… unless he was holding back!"
Ander's time was running out. Wen Wen's advance, though seemingly strange, was not slow at all. Ander could only take a deep breath, shoot at Wen Wen several times, and after emptying the magazine, he switched to another handgun.
All the weapons in this safe camp were in Ander's hands, so he had plenty of ammunition.
But Wen Wen, in that strange posture, dodged all the attacks.
When he got close enough, Ander prepared to swing his saber. He knew that many monsters, though seemingly grim and terrifying, could still be injured by a trained ordinary person if one overcame their fear.
But before he could swing his saber, he saw strange illusions appear on Wen Wen's face, instantly causing him to lose his consciousness.
Within that illusion, he seemed to transform into another person, repeatedly brutalized by a faceless man in a suit.
After being killed and terrified countless times, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then everything disappeared.
He saw himself impaled on the ground by a root spear, his body held aloft by the spear. However, these spears were not fatal; he could only wait to bleed out and die.
As Wen Wen left, he cast a deep gaze at the cannon fodder and then turned away.
That cannon fodder should be a clerical worker from the Foundation. The records showed no training. However, the burst of power he displayed just now had surpassed the combat level that could be measured by Master Ye.
He should be an esper!
It seemed this person was likely a spy sent by the Hunter Association.
However, Wen Wen did not rush to deal with him. Although allowing a spy from the Hunter Association to enter the Mirror Maze plot mode was beyond his original expectations, dealing with him would not be difficult.
He could develop him into one of his own. Wen Wen actually hoped that the Hunter Association would send more spies here, so he could develop more double agents.
After Wen Wen disappeared, Xiao Hua, the cannon fodder, wiped the cold sweat from his brow.
The Hunter Association had long been aware of the Foundation's existence and naturally would not allow it to operate unchecked. Therefore, Xiao Hua entered the Foundation as a spy.
His mission was to collect evidence of the Foundation's crimes. Of course, this did not refer to ordinary crimes, as the Foundation had many illegal activities, and at least illegal possession of firearms was unavoidable.
The crimes Xiao Hua was to investigate were whether the Foundation had prepared any evil rituals using its influence.
However, despite spying for so long, Xiao Hua had not found any similar incidents until eight days ago when he met Wen Wen and was given those mirrors.
Ordinary people could not detect the abnormality of these mirrors, but he could sense some exotic energies intertwined with the mirrors. When the mirrors summoned him, he hesitated for a moment before deciding to take the risk and see what was happening, thus appearing in the survival game.
Unlike others, he knew that everything he was experiencing was not real, so he had always maintained a very ordinary facade.
But when he saw Wen Wen, he felt an instinctive fear, which caused him to break free from his restraints and make Ander the sacrifice.
