Chapter 198: Global Hide and Seek 8
The Hunters have officially entered the game!
The chat group instantly went silent, all players nervously awaiting the Hunters’ first wave of searching.
As they entered, the sound of gunshots grew dense.
A soccer ball under the basketball hoop,
A manhole cover on the plaza,
A trash can under a big tree… wherever they felt even a slight anomaly, they fired directly.
The number of players decreased rapidly again, startling some newly accommodated players.
[Instant Noodles: Why are the Hunters in this round more ferocious than before? I think a trash can under a big tree is perfectly reasonable.]
[A Box of Mineral Water: Only ten minutes have passed, and over a hundred players are gone. In the last round, it took the Hunters over twenty minutes to catch one hundred and fifty people.]
[Black Mist Go Die: Then your last round was really lucky.]
[No need to search the trash: By the end of our last round, fewer than one hundred and forty people remained. You newcomers just wait and see, experience the pressure those Hunters bring.]
…Their hiding spot was a large recreational plaza.
Centered around a flag was a massive open-air dam, large enough to hold thousands of elderly men and women dancing in the plaza. With lush greenery and public facilities, it was also where many players hid.
Aside from the open-air areas, unmanned shops were open around the plaza.
Many people transformed into objects and hid inside the shops.
This time, the Hunters still searched outside first, then inside. The players hiding in the open air dared not move, venting their current tension in the chat group.
[Invincible King: Oh my god, I’m a huge car by the roadside, three Hunters are circling around me, I’m so scared.]
[666: I turned into a rock this round and buried myself in the dirt. No one will ever dig me out.]
Chu Yian then saw a familiar ID.
[Ri An: Are you all doing well?]
[Invincible King: I’m about to be discovered, how could I be doing well!]
This Invincible King was a passerby who misunderstood, thinking Jie Yan was asking him.
But no one bothered to explain to him.
[A Knife: I’m hiding in a convenience store, surrounded by many similar items, so it should be hard to be discovered.]
[Black Mist Go Die: I’m still doing well right now. A few idiots walked past me just now and didn’t notice me at all.]
[Huang Fei Hu: Safe.]
Among the three, Black Mist Go Die was the most arrogant.
Zhang Yunwu’s personality was very similar to his weapon, one could say quite flamboyant.
[Ri An: Be careful, don’t let your guard down.]
Jie Yan reminded him in the group.
Zhang Yunwu reined himself in, no longer making overly high-profile and arrogant remarks.
[Granny Wang herself: By the way, who was that clucking chicken just now?]
[Water in the Gourd: That wasn’t a clucking chicken, that was a flying chicken! I’ve never seen such extreme maneuvering. It seems there were a lot of people around the flagpole just now, but no one noticed.]
[Granny Wang herself: A chicken squatting on a twenty-meter-high flagpole, who would normally think of such an exaggerated thing? Oh, and where are the people who said the clucking chicken couldn’t fly up before? Offer your heads.]
…The players’ attention once again focused on the clucking chicken.
Chu Yian stood high in the air at this moment, no longer feeling the thrill and tension from before. She looked at the previous teasing and schadenfreude directed at her in the group and simply sent a message.
[Huang Fei Hu: Yeah, come out and let us kick your head like a ball.]
[Black Mist Go Die: Cough cough cough…]
Zhang Yunwu made a sound, hinting to Chu Yian not to stir up trouble, because he was the one who had made such big claims just now.
Chu Yian looked at his message, scrolled up through the chat history, and discovered this issue.
[Huang Fei Hu: So it was you, I am that clucking chicken = =]
[A Knife: Holy crap, so cool.]
Liu Wen couldn’t help but reply.
He hadn’t expected that the amazing and flashy flying chicken maneuver was performed by his own teammate. Jie Yan was also a bit surprised; his position didn’t allow him to see the flagpole, so he could only reply with a reminder to be careful.
And Zhang Yunwu’s reaction was even more exaggerated.
[Black Mist Go Die: So you were that clucking chicken?! I apologize, I was disrespectful.]
And the group instantly became lively because of the clucking chicken’s appearance.
[What kind of name is Huang Fei Hu, it should be Xiu’er · Gulu Da · Flying Chicken.]
[It’s clear that this Big Boss Fei Hu is playing something very new.]
[I’m curious about the ‘Wealthy and Charming Eye’ box, what’s that about? Is it your game item @Huang Fei Hu.]
[I saw it too, the box is so wealthy, hahahaha.]
…Chu Yian looked at the messages in the group, directly ignoring the person asking about her game item. Her gaze swept downwards, watching the Hunters constantly passing by the flagpole.
She found that her field of vision had expanded.
Ordinary players might only be able to observe a range of thirty meters around themselves, but from her position looking down, she could actually see most of the plaza.
The Hunters were busily working beneath her feet, not even bothering to look up at her, the golden chicken standing alone.
Staying up there for so long was actually a bit boring.
Chu Yian began to search for players from the Hunters’ perspective, and then she discovered a shrub that was slightly different from the other greenery, a ping-pong paddle placed on a ball table, and even a metal pig ornament cosplaying as a car emblem.
The last one seemed off, she looked again.
Chu Yian looked at the pig ornament in a ‘horse treading on a flying swallow’ pose on a luxury car parked by the roadside; it was even cosplaying as the Rolls-Royce Spirit of Ecstasy!
The crucial thing was that three or four Hunters had walked past him, and none of them noticed anything wrong with this pig.
Were their eyes blind?
Chu Yian had a God’s-eye view and suddenly felt that the Hunters were nothing to fear.
Just as she was wondering when this pig would be found, a familiar figure passing below suddenly caught her attention. At this moment, the One-Eyed man, feared by everyone in the last round, blocked the man’s path.
“The one surnamed Lu, your harvest in this round has been quite mediocre so far.”
The One-Eyed man looked at their hunting leaderboard; his hunting count of 9 was ranked first. Meanwhile, Lu Qingyuan, who was first in the last round, currently only had a hunting count of 2, lagging far behind him.
Unfortunately, his triumphant provocation only met with the other party’s indifferent disregard.
His calm gaze swept over the One-Eyed man, and he calmly walked past him.
[Holy crap, The one surnamed Lu is really handsome.]
[That gaze kills me.]
[I really don’t know why they compare the One-Eyed man and The one surnamed Lu. When they stand together, I can only see The one surnamed Lu, okay!]
[Mama mia, why am I, in a life-or-death game, so infatuated with an NPC who wants to kill me?]
…While the opposite and even same genders in the chat group were exclaiming over Lu Qingyuan’s appearance, Chu Yian had already turned to stone.
Teacher Lu is really a Hunter; this round of the game has become even harder.
