On day 12 of the game, when Wen Nannan went to work, she paid extra attention to the entrance. The device was still there, giving her an ominous feeling.
As expected, when only fifty or sixty people were left in the queue, the green heart-shaped indicator stopped pulsing and suddenly turned red.
In the next moment, a mechanical hand descended abruptly and grabbed some of those who hadn't managed to get out in time.
People already in the food street watched as the mechanical hand descended from above and then, as it lifted again, saw the captured individuals flailing and shouting in panic.
With yesterday's precedent, many players, even if they didn't say it, were doing their best to avoid being among the last.
Among those captured today were mostly NPCs, but several players were taken as well.
Having been warned by Wen Nannan yesterday, Xiao Ai and her group were prepared and managed to enter the food area without incident.
