Little white rabbit, white and bright—what does it mean?

Her brain thought while her feet kept running.

The first person buried his head and sprinted wildly, with no time to think before charging past the left finish line.

The second person ran to the sign below, hesitating as he glanced at the first person, then looked back at the gradually approaching rabbits behind him. Not daring to delay any longer, he also went left.

The third person stopped, hesitated for two seconds, then ran toward the right finish line…

One person after another reached the finish line.

The further back they were, the more urgent the time became, leaving no room to think at all. Some went left, some went right.

“It’s the right side,” Bai Youwei said, lying on Shen Mo’s back. “Little white rabbit, white and bright, two ears standing upright! The answer is track number 2, the right side!”

Shen Mo accelerated and charged past the right finish line!

The last few people also arrived one after another.

Those on the left side came to their senses at this moment, realizing they might have been wrong. They wanted to change their minds, but discovered an invisible barrier stood between the two tracks—impenetrable! Impassable!

At the same time, the pursuing rabbits poured into track number 1! Like rolling white waves, bringing a salty, pungent cold wind!

Screams, curses, desperate fighting to survive!

Then came running toward certain doom!

The track was a circle, and there were barriers on both sides. To avoid those crazed rabbits, those who missed the finish line had no choice but to continue forward along the track!

The girl with glasses sat on the ground crying, unable to bear seeing more death and injury. She shouted hoarsely at those people: “Hurry up… run faster…”

But it was too slow, too slow…

Sprinting 200 meters was already at the limit of physical capacity. Running any further, their speed would inevitably slow down, but those rabbits wouldn’t slow down. They quickly caught up—pouncing! Tearing! Biting off large chunks of bright red flesh!

Agonized screams rang throughout the entire field, blood splattered everywhere like spilled paint.

Those people struggled and rolled on the ground, becoming skinless bloody figures, and then from the bright red flesh, white fur grew out like thorns!

The white fur grew more and more, denser and denser! Eventually they transformed into crazed giant rabbits, their eyeballs stained red with blood!

On this peaceful, sunny field, everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their entire bodies ice cold!

They had just witnessed their companions on the other side turn into rabbits while still alive!

In the distance, the rabbit-headed figure waved at them, its voice clearly audible:

“Please return to the starting position. The second round of competition will begin.”

The second round…

Everyone’s faces were deathly pale.

Unable to refuse, not daring to resist, with no time to adjust their panicked hearts, each person walked back step by step like lifeless puppets.

Yes.

At this moment, they were like dolls in the rabbit-headed figure’s hands, having lost their freedom and will.

Bai Youwei lay on Shen Mo’s back, her heart continuously sinking, heavy and leaden.

When they first entered, they had 17 people, but now after one round of competition, only 9 remained…

Could she and Shen Mo really survive three rounds of competition?

“Walk slower,” Bai Youwei said quietly to Shen Mo. “Walk slower, rest a bit more.”

“I still have this much stamina,” Shen Mo said in a low voice. “It’s just that the questions are a bit troublesome.”

Difficulty was one aspect, but most critically, it was the time to answer.

Those people just now were fleeing in panic, probably didn’t even have time to read the question properly, so how could they make the correct choice rationally and clearly?

From seeing the question to charging past the finish line, at most only two or three seconds! Any longer, and they’d be caught by the rabbits behind them! So at the critical moment, what was tested wasn’t necessarily knowledge, but instantaneous reaction!

Bai Youwei murmured: “The track is one lap of 400 meters. If we choose the wrong finish line and can’t turn back, we’d have to run another 400 meters before we could enter the correct finish line. That means we’d have to run 600 meters at top speed. Unless one is a professional athlete, it’s impossible to do.”

Moreover, Shen Mo was carrying her. Once they missed the 200-meter finish line, the outcome for her and Shen Mo would undoubtedly be turning into rabbits…

Shen Mo: “I wonder what the next round’s question will be.”

Bai Youwei slowly shook her head: “Actually, what the question is doesn’t matter. What matters is the order. There’s a method that can guarantee winning the competition one hundred percent.”

Shen Mo’s steps paused slightly, “Guarantee winning one hundred percent?”

“Yes.” Bai Youwei quietly observed the expressions of the others, murmuring softly, “And very likely… someone has already thought of that method.”
