Chapter 208: Global Hide and Seek 18
As soon as Chu Yian’s message was sent, a lot of people responded.
From the replies, it seemed that well over half were players. But Chu Yian knew the real situation might not be that many; there were definitely a lot of people just stirring the pot, casually following the trend with their replies.
However, Chu Yian didn’t mind at all, because with an attitude, everything was negotiable.
As long as this thing got started, everyone would be in the same boat, and no one could escape.
“Huang Fei Hu: We have ten minutes left, and there are a few important things we need to do now.”
While she was asking people, her mind had already started planning what to do next. Even if the number of players genuinely willing to work with her was less than a fifth, it still wouldn’t affect her plan.
And the current situation wasn’t bad either.
In the last ten minutes, Chu Yian mobilized almost a third of the players. After successfully using explosives to bury air-raid shelter entrances one and three, she waited at entrance two for the hunters to appear.
“Qu Shanmian: Are you all crazy? It’s the last round of hide-and-seek, and you insist on messing around with this Huang Fei Hu.”
“Qu Shanmian: Can’t you just find a place to hide?”
Even at this point, there were still people singing a dirge.
However, many players were as if pumped with adrenaline during the preparation process. Now was the time to output, and they most disliked people like Qu Shanmian who boosted others’ morale and diminished their own.
“Xia Gu: I’m really speechless. If you don’t dare to go, just shut up.”
“Zha Dan Mao: I really hate people like this too. Others are working hard to resist, but he talks a lot of nonsense and thinks he’s very smart. Damn it, if a hide-and-seek slave could kill companions, I’d just off him directly.”
“CW Zhengse: Not many points, but definitely enough to not starve. I’ve been chased by hunters for too long. In this last round, I just want to turn things around. Whether we clear the level or not isn’t important; the hunters must die. Cowards, shut up.”
… Qu Shanmian was finally ganged up on.
He was still a bit unconvinced in his heart, having found a seemingly safer position.
“Qu Shanmian: You can be tough now, but when the hunters come, you’ll have a hard time.”
This person really… needed a beating.
Unfortunately, there was no time to scold him anymore.
Chu Yian and some bolder players had already ambushed near entrance 2, waiting for the hunters to enter.
This round of the game had three entrances to the air-raid shelter in total, and the hunters were thus evenly distributed near the three entrances. However, when the hunters around entrances 1 and 3 found the entrances according to the guidance, they discovered that they had been completely blocked.
The first batch of players to enter entrance 2, due to the diversion of the three entrances, only numbered a little over thirty.
See?
The settings of this round of the game were all helping the player side.
This group of hunters entered the air-raid shelter unprepared, hoping for a final carnival. Little did they know that they had already stepped into a trap, until at the second turn, the landmines buried there exploded without warning, and tear gas and smoke bombs blinded their eyes.
“What’s going on?”
“Who knocked over the things inside?”
“What are all these things? My eyes hurt so much.”
… Although ordinary weapons couldn’t take NPCs offline, they were enough to make them panic and uncomfortable.
The players hiding there rushed in, snatching the weapons from their hands.
“Damn it, who bumped my butt?”
“Who took my hunting rifle? Are you an idiot, stealing someone else’s hunting rifle?”
“No, there seems to be something around here. Can anyone see? Is it those prey causing trouble?”
These hunters quickly reacted. Even if they couldn’t see, it didn’t stop them from shooting wildly with their eyes closed.
And at this moment, Chu Yian also began.
Her current form was a bulletproof vest. The hunting rifle couldn’t be used by one person, so she cooperated with Zhu Shen, who had joined her, to fire. She was responsible for aiming, and Zhu Shen was responsible for hitting the trigger with his body.
Bang, bang, bang… They opened fire.
Shooting randomly in the fog, they always managed to instantly kill a few.
“Holy crap, holy crap, Huang Fei Hu and his group are really fighting the hunters.”
“They snatched three hunting rifles.”
“A player was hit and went offline.”
… Among the players, there were not a few who were timid but also nosy, and they began to report the current situation in real time.
“Qu Shanmian: See? Players are already going offline. I told you to hide well, but you wouldn’t listen. Now something’s happened, right?”
Qu Shanmian began to show off in the group, even mocking the unlucky player who died first.
“Shut up! A coward actually mocks a hero; you’re f***ing disgusting.”
“Even though I don’t dare to go, I’ve never seen such a disgusting player. I’m so annoyed, shut up, you idiot.”
… The people in the chat group started bickering, while on the other side, the hunters had already rushed out of the first trap set by the players.
“Huang Fei Hu: Everyone at entrance 2, start retreating inside!”
“Huang Fei Hu: In that weapon compartment further inside, everyone quickly set up weapons. I’m putting down obstacles.”
Chu Yian dragged the hunting rifle, running and giving commands.
But the players’ actions provoked immense anger in the hunters. They rushed in quickly, not sparing the bullets in their hands as they randomly sprayed the air-raid shelter corridor.
Chu Yian released her treasure box to block the narrowest part of the air-raid shelter passage, not only stopping the hunters but also buying time for other players to set up their guns.
Including Chu Yian’s own, the players had a total of four guns.
All players had object bodies, which restricted their use of hunting rifles, but they successfully fought against those thirty-plus hunters, trapping them in a confined space, unable to advance a single step.
“This is insane, I’ve never seen prey counter-kill hunters before.”
“What kind of damn terrain is this? There’s no way to spread out.”
“Wait here, and together with the remaining hunters, we’ll surround and kill all the prey inside! We must kill them all!”
The other two entrances were sealed by them, so Chu Yian naturally knew it was impossible for the other hunters to surround them. But if the remaining hunters appeared, the players’ firepower couldn’t defeat all the hunters.
Now, they had to eliminate this first batch of hunters.
“Huang Fei Hu: I’m going to charge.”
“Huang Fei Hu: Those with guns, come with me.”
Those who dared to follow her from the beginning were not cowards. The twenty to thirty players blocking the entrance cooperated, first throwing the smoke bombs they found. Chu Yian led the remaining people, using the treasure box as a shield, charging straight into the passage.
The sound of gunfire rang out again, echoing through the passage to the innermost part.
When the prey picked up their weapons, they realized that the hunters on the other side were not so terrifying after all.
The unobstructed passage around them turned the crowded hunters into living targets. Those who ran fast reached the corner, while those who didn’t directly turned into white light.
When the smoke cleared, the hunters were no longer visible in the tunnel, leaving behind the hunting rifles of the eliminated hunters.
