Chapter 232

“F*ck, this Sniper sure has a scheme!”

In the hole of the huge rock, looking at the pale red seawater that looked as if it were boiling and the NPC—with even his clothing ripped to all sorts of pieces on the screen—Bowl of Instant Noodles stared with a stony gaze . He was secretly relieved that he had not been lured by that Sniper outside to jump into the sea just now .

What he did not know was that Feng Luo, who had now already retreated to the forest, was just as relieved as he was .

Yesterday night, he had relied on submerging himself underwater to defeat the rebel Heavy Armor Warrior with two surprise slashes; it could be said that the seawater had been of great help to his move then . Only now did he know that his action before entering the water had actually been quite dangerous!

Perhaps it had been his good luck that there were no such monster fish in the surroundings, or it could have been because he had not entered deeper regions, so he hadn’t attracted the attention of these sea monster clusters .

If not, even with his 4,000 HP in his “equipment-naked” state, facing such a cluster of horrifying fish could have cost him his head straight away!

But seeing this, that Light Armored Warrior probably wouldn’t dare to jump into the sea at all . This is a rather good situation! Feng Luo thought, already searching for a suitable tree to climb in the surroundings from the corner of his sight .

At that moment, the wrinkle-faced army officer in the black uniform on the screen had once again started speaking, and the contents made Feng Luo partially shift his focus .

“I’ll say no more about the rules . Since you’ve already joined the game, then there’s only one way to leave—to kill others! Whereas to help everyone achieve this goal and at the same time prevent too many people from being eliminated by the skin on your neck due to not getting even the basic 20 killing points yet, our General has just made a decision: to now open the first Random Mission!

“Within the following four hours, at every one-hour interval, 50 people will be randomly selected without repetition as prey . Every five minutes, their positions will be announced once for 30 seconds, consecutively until 12 noon!” The flesh on the face of the wrinkled army officer jiggled with his mocking laughter . “Which means, there’ll be a total of 200 people able to enjoy this special treatment!”

“Yet another sickening rule . ” Feng Luo’s expression turned grave . “In such a situation, aren’t the selected people sure to die…?”

He felt that with such a sickening “method of play,” even if it was him who was chosen, it would probably be very dangerous! After all, even if a person’s ability was powerful, it would be very difficult for him to survive longer than an hour in a situation where his position was exposed to everyone! Especially for the period of time nearing 12 noon .

Feng Luo believed without hesitation that at the last moment, those players who had not secured enough killing points to survive would definitely hunt down those with their positions exposed with unimaginably manic fervor!

“Those who have been selected, don’t feel that it’s unfair . It’s randomly selected, so it can only be said that your luck is bad!” On the screen, the wrinkle-faced army officer was continuously laughing coldly . “However, this might actually be a form of luck! Because all those selected only have to make it past one hour’s time and will immediately earn 200 points of reward killing points . And they still can earn another advantage—in the following six hours, their own positions can be unrevealed when they engage the map! Moreover, those who are selected between 11:00 p . m . to 12:00 p . m . and have survived will earn double the reward! How about that? Indeed… very fair, right?”

The officer in black finished his last line with a smirk . “Well, then . This game shall start now . The first batch of 15 people has already been randomly selected!”

The next moment, with a switch, the image projected from every person’s collar became a very minimalistic large-scale map of Death Hunter Island, on which only positions could be determined .

On this map were 15 relatively spread out, steadily blinking red dots!

“Hmm…”

Presently, Feng Luo was already temporarily ignoring the Light Armor Warrior still hidden in the hole . He first shot a glance at the respective positions shown on his map .

“I’ve not been chosen…” Feng Luo was unsure of whether to be relaxed or slightly disappointed .

Actually, although he knew that it would have been extremely dangerous if he’d been chosen, he already had a great advantage . Subconsciously, he had a fleeting thought of wishing to be chosen, then killing all those who came for him one by one!

Using himself as “bait,” putting himself in danger in order to achieve a greater benefit—in the past, he never would have done such a thing . Perhaps it was the consecutive kills the night before that had triggered some risk-taking genes in him, causing him to have such a thought . It was a bit of a pity that the system had not given him this chance!

“But the closest red dot… It really is!”

Feng Luo raised his head and looked toward the huge rock within his sight .

The corresponding position of the closest blinking red light to him was the location of that Light Armor Warrior hidden in the hole!

“So it’s like this… Perhaps… luring the enemy could be a change of plans!”

Feng Luo’s heart quivered .

******

Time gradually passed .

“F*ck me!”

In the hole in the rock, the face of Bowl of Instant Noodles was already grim to the maximum!

When he saw that his position on the map had become an eye-catching red dot, he lost all motivation to continue in this sickening mission . It was his rotten luck!

Initially, the “sickening” Sniper below had already, from the start, made him feel hopeless . The Sniper casually refraining from making a move on him had inevitably caused him to gather a few glimmers of hope . Perhaps the opponent feared him due to not seeing his equipment and not having a shooting angle to attack this position .

Bowl of Instant Noodles analyzed the situation . He’d continued hiding in the hole to guarantee that he could not be shot by the Sniper on the beach . But now, having been so unluckily chosen at random, with his position directly exposed in front of everyone, if he continued to stay in the hole, he would be 100 percent dead meat!

“This is madness . No way out in any direction . Why not try it out?!”

Thinking of this, Bowl of Instant Noodles felt determined in his heart and fiercely picked up the spare alloy longsword at his side . But, just in case, he tested the waters by looking through the tiny hole with his eyes toward the beach .

Ping!

With just his right eye moving close, he heard a sudden gunshot, after which, a bullet flew and accurately hit a spot outside of the tiny hole!

If not for the texture of this rock, hardened by long years of erosion by the seawater, and for the thick walls of the cavern that caused the bullet to get stuck midway, he suspected that the bullet might have hit his eye, maybe even causing a blinding special damage effect!

“What the f*ck is this level of shooting?!”

Bowl of Instant Noodles was pale with shock . The courage he’d just mustered had been crushed in half in an instant!
