Chapter 23 Quick Repair! Quick Fix!

"Ah!" 

I do not know how long it has been. Henry opened his eyes suddenly. The scene that appeared in front of him was not the cold butcher knife or the terrifying iron hook, but a warm bonfire. Everything before seemed like a nightmare that people can never forget. Around the campfire, others gradually came to life. Even the calm Zhou Hu looked extremely pale. Just now, the first game ended so quickly that no one could even survive ten minutes. 

Silence followed… After a long time, it was Zhou Hu who broke the tranquility. "Tell me about your situation." After hearing Zhou Hu's words, several people showed bitter smiles. Condition? What could happen? Most of them were killed by explosions, just like the unlucky Henry who never got off the hook after being hung for the first time. Finally, he was devoured by the claw-like evil spirit on the hook in endless fear. Seeing that no one was talking, Zhou Hu shook his head and sighed. 

"Since I don't want to talk about it, let me tell you my situation first. I was forced into the room above the manor by the butcher, and I died after stepping on a trap while climbing through the window in the corridor." After hearing this, the remaining three people looked at each other and finally spoke one after another.

"I was deceived by the butcher's fake move of placing the clamp, and then I was chopped down to the ground."

"I was caught while repairing the generator without paying attention."

"I... I hid in the closet, but I didn't expect to be discovered."

Listening to people being arrested in various unexpected ways, Zhou Hu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "It seems none of us can repair the generator?" Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhou Hu took a deep breath and persuaded in the gentlest voice possible. "Don't be discouraged. This is just the first time. Everyone is not very familiar with the rules of this game. Learn from it next time." Hearing this, Henry remained silent.

"Zhou, this is not the way to go. That butcher is faster than us and can seal the road with a bear trap. It will be difficult for us to survive his pursuit." After hearing what Henry said, the other two people also complained. Indeed, under the control of Yang Chi, Brother Jia is not that cumbersome. The animal trap can always be placed on some necessary roads to seal the position, which makes the agile masters around Zhou Hu very uncomfortable. After hearing this, Zhou Hu thought for a moment, then nodded.

"In that case, there is only one way."

"Any solution?"

"Quick fix!"

Soon, the second round began. As usual, Yang Chi walked towards the generator farthest away from him. Generally speaking, humans have a high chance of appearing there at the beginning. But Yang Chi soon realized something was wrong. Different from before, this time Yang Chi found that when a person is found, the person will start to run away from a long distance and will not look back at all, nor will they engage in a struggle in the board area and wall area like before. Unless forced to, they avoid playing games in the wall area and board area.

Such a tactical response made Yang Chi more vigilant. In previous games, this behavior was nicknamed "marathon" by players, and it was also the most troublesome method for the butcher. Because this kind of behavior is only for one thing, and that is procrastination! You can try to delay the butcher's time and let your teammates repair the machine quickly, which is very annoying. Although he still relied on his rich experience to win a few games, Yang Chi could feel that the opponent had gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game.

Not only that, the purpose of these prisoners is very clear. They will run away when they come, and practice wildly when they are not there. What's more, in the end, even if they are forced into a corner and cannot escape, they have to touch the generator before they are willing to fall to the ground. Such behavior made Yang Chi's expression serious. He had to admit that Zhou Hu realized the true meaning of this game!

Quick repair is the most troublesome thing for all butchers in the "Dead by Daylight" game. Especially with that kind of Renhuang team, even though Yang Chi has the strength to defeat these teams every time, it is still very difficult to win. Although Yang Chi knew before the game started that Zhou Hu's mind would soon understand the importance of quick repair, what Yang Chi didn't expect was that after just one game, Zhou Hu would already understand its importance.

Thinking of this, Yang Chi became more convinced in his thoughts that he must win against Zhou Hu. If a person like this can help him manage the prison, the pressure on him will be greatly reduced. Thinking of this, Yang Chi sighed secretly. "Sorry, Mr. Fox, I have to play some tactics too." At the same time, as the game ended again, Zhou Hu and the four returned to the campfire. Being killed by Yang Chi repeatedly in the game, the endless pursuit made the four of them look extremely pale.

Although it is said that every time you die, you will be resurrected at the campfire, and your injured body will return to normal, the feeling of suffocation and despair when being slaughtered in the game is enough to make adults collapse. If it weren't for Zhou Hu's constant encouragement, the other three would have been unable to bear it. Only then did Zhou Hu understand why criminals like Lian Hou Hong and Chen Erlong became obedient after being imprisoned for seven days. This place is really too scary. There is no hope in this endless reincarnation. I want to die but I can't. Who wouldn't be afraid of it? Even I feel like I can't hold on any longer.

Fortunately, as the number of games increased, the cooperation of several people became more and more skillful, and only then did the four of them see the dawn of hope. Just now, although they were killed one by one by the Butcher again, they had already repaired two generators. And this situation also proves that the tactic of quick repair is absolutely correct! Maybe in the next round of the game, they can escape. However, as a new game began, Zhou Hu felt something was wrong after entering the game.

This time, the Butcher didn't come straight to hunt down humans like before. Even when he saw people on his side repairing generators, the butcher just looked at them from a distance and had no intention of pursuing them. Zhou Hu also felt a little strange about this. However, as he observed, Zhou Hu suddenly discovered that the Butcher was not idle either. He kept picking up bear traps scattered in every corner of the map, then took these bear traps to the other side of the map. Such a scene left Zhou Hu a little confused.

What are you doing? This guy doesn't chase people; he only picks up traps. Is there any conspiracy? Zhou Hu frowned and thought. For some reason, Zhou Hu felt a bad feeling in his heart while watching this scene.
