Chapter 194: Global Hide and Seek 4
Chu Yian heard their conversation about leaving and finally let out a sigh of relief.
But because of this, she understood her situation even better.
It was not safe inside the house, and her current position was not safe enough either.
Her hiding spot was on the second floor, and the position she was stuck in was on the outer wall in the middle of the second floor. This spot was not concealed enough; those on higher floors would discover her with just a glance down.
Chu Yian felt she needed to find a safer position, and if necessary, moving more than ten meters was acceptable.
But the position she sought, at the cost of triggering an alarm, had to be good enough.
Chu Yian searched for a long time and finally found a special spot.
The street light.
To be precise, it was the top of the street light, the position of the bulb.
This street light was extremely high, definitely ten meters. The cover over the light bulb was similar to the inverted kettle shape that Chu Yian transformed into, and there was also a circle of raised petals on the outer layer to obstruct vision.
The horizontal distance between the street light and the adjacent building was about three meters, and with all these factors combined, this was absolutely an excellent hiding spot for hide-and-seek.
How to get up there?
After transforming into an item, the prey could run and jump.
The maximum jump height was two meters, a height just enough for Chu Yian to climb up a little on the outer wall. On the fourth floor, there was a long power cable spanning between the two buildings across the street. By jumping little by little across the cable, she could land directly inside the street light.
The action would be somewhat dangerous.
Chu Yian glanced at the time; there was still an hour and a half until the game ended.
For such a long time, it was still very necessary to change positions.
She first leaped towards the upper part of the building, jumping between floors. Jumping after transforming into a kettle was much simpler than as a human, but she dared not be careless; once she fell from a height, being discovered would inevitably mean elimination.
Third floor, fourth floor.
She had already jumped onto the outer wall of the fourth floor.
The power cable was right above her, two slender ropes running parallel. It shouldn’t be difficult to cross. But she had to jump to the outer wall of the fifth floor to be able to jump onto the ropes.
From the second floor to the fifth floor, there were three floors in between, which might have exceeded the ten-meter range.
Chu Yian dared not move at this moment.
She was waiting for an opportunity.
A piercing alarm sounded, and hurried footsteps were running towards the source of the sound.
Yes, she was waiting for this moment!
Chu Yian successfully gathered strength and leaped to the outer wall of the fifth floor. Her heart began to pound, but the anticipated alarm did not sound.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one in the buildings behind and opposite was looking out, she landed on the parallel power cables below and then quickly jumped.
One step, two steps.
Rubbing against the slender power cables.
The new hiding spot was close at hand, and an alarm suddenly sounded beside her without warning.
Chu Yian exerted herself and jumped into the core of the street light, her kettle body inverted, just fitting the original lampshade inside.
The alarm lasted for a full thirty seconds!
Hearing this sound, all the players rushed over. Chu Yian didn’t even need to look; just by listening to the footsteps, she knew how many hunters had come from the rooms in the buildings on both sides and on the street outside.
A burst of intense gunfire.
The hunters swept the area thoroughly.
Especially the utility pole where Chu Yian was hiding; these hunters fired many shots at the utility pole, and the cluster of petal-shaped decorations outside the lampshade was also hit.
The only thing Chu Yian could do was pray.
The alarm stopped after half a minute, and these hunters dispersed a few minutes later.
Chu Yian hid high above, watching all the people below leave before finally breathing a slight sigh of relief. This place was much safer than the previous two spots, but with the unlucky trash can player before her, she dared not move recklessly. She used the special perspective of an item to observe the surrounding situation.
Good heavens!
At this moment, the avenue below, and the situation of the houses on both sides, were all within her sight.
The players had already individually searched up to the fourth floor. Chu Yian saw a hunter sweep a room with gunfire, and suddenly the hunter himself turned into a white light and disappeared.
Huh?
Chu Yian was stunned for a moment, but his companions around him seemed unfazed and continued to check for prey hidden inside the house.
Gunshots echoed one after another, and there were only over three hundred players left in the chat group.
[Sink: Everyone, pay attention! The hunters have searched to the top floor. The houses have basically been ransacked by them, which means they might be going outside!]
[Medal: Oh my, why is time so hard to bear!]
[Free Nail Clipper: Luckily, my volume is small. I’m currently lying in a pile of trash. Let me stay with this trash forever!]
…Chu Yian, temporarily getting a respite because the hunters couldn’t get close, saw no useful messages in the group and continued to monitor the nearby hunters.
They really would disappear into thin air.
In the next twenty minutes, she saw two more hunters suddenly turn into a white light while firing. Because of this, Chu Yian sent the information she observed to the chat group.
[Huang Fei Hu: These hunters disappear suddenly. Does anyone know the reason?]
Chu Yian’s message was sent, and players immediately noticed.
[I Am Manhole Cover: Me, me, me! I just saw a hunter suddenly turn into a white light.]
[Patterned Boxer Shorts: Did they disappear? I thought these people were teleported to other places; online games are all played like that.]
Soon, someone noticed this issue and provided an answer.
[Ri An: Hunters do indeed disappear, and each time it’s after firing. This should be related to their weapons. I guess these hunters should also have game restrictions; perhaps when they run out of bullets, they will be teleported out.]
[Huang Fei Hu: I thought so too!]
Upon seeing the information sent by this person, Chu Yian instantly felt like she had found a kindred spirit.
[Huang Fei Hu: prey have rules, and hunters should also have their own rules. If we figure out how many bullets each of them has, maybe we can find a way to deplete their bullets and reduce their threat to us.]
[Ri An: It’s a bit difficult, but it’s not impossible to implement.]
The person named Ri An quickly replied to her, [This is only the first round; hiding well is the most important thing. It’s best if everyone starts collecting information and summarizing it in the group, which should reduce the pressure in later games.]
Hunters were not mute; some of their words would always be heard by the hidden players. And after being reminded by this person named “Ri An,” players in the group began to exchange information.
[Sink: I just heard a hunter say that killing us would result in rankings. Does this count as information?]
[Black Mist Go Die: I know there are a total of 100 hunters in this round of the game. Just now, two hunters were talking next to me. The original words were, ‘100 people sharing 1000 prey. If we don’t hurry, The one surnamed Lu and One-Eyed will snatch them all.’]
