Chapter 192: Global Hide and Seek 2
Ten minutes to hide!
Chu Yian saw the holographic projection in front of her begin its countdown. She had no time to think about anything else; all she wanted was to find a place to hide.
At this moment, pots, pans, bowls, dishes, brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones were scurrying everywhere on the street.
Chu Yian entered a clothing store and jumped onto a table, but a dusty, cheap kettle looked out of place there.
No.
She thought to herself and ran upstairs.
These houses could all be opened, and many players, like her, tried to hide inside. Chu Yian leaped onto a table, and from her vantage point, she saw some players had turned into curtains and were hanging themselves up; some had become books, perfectly hidden on bookshelves; and some had transformed into electric fans, plugging themselves in, blending in seamlessly with the room.
Chu Yian felt her hiding spot was a bit too conspicuous.
She looked at the top of the bookshelf.
The original owner had placed many sundries on the bookshelf, including an unused cup. She jumped up and nestled close to the cup, feeling that this disguise was not bad. Soon after she hid, she opened the information platform, which was said to be visible only to the prey.
“Liu: Holy cow, I kind of like this round of hide-and-seek. It’s the first time it actually feels like a game.”
“Feizhu: Is everyone hidden? Not much time left.”
“Xigua: Hidden. So nervous.”
…Chu Yian looked at the prey’s communication platform. Everyone in this game zone was in it; there was no way to private message. She didn’t speak on it, just squatted in place, quietly waiting for the game to begin.
Then came a piercing whistle.
The game began!
Chu Yian instantly felt her vision expand significantly. Not only could she see the house below her, but also the adjacent room blocked by walls, the corridor outside, and the rooms downstairs.
Her vision now extended 30 meters around her.
Having such vision for the first time gave her a feeling akin to motion sickness.
Bang bang bang.
A rapid burst of gunfire came from outside; the hunters had arrived!
Just two seconds after the gunfire ceased, a game notification appeared: Remaining prey 999/1000.
The game had just begun, and a player had already been found?!
“I’m a Painting: Holy cow, holy cow, what’s going on? Someone was found right at the start. Does anyone know what happened?”
“Please Don’t Find Me: The game requires lasting two hours, but this person couldn’t even last two seconds. How did he survive until now?”
Discussions broke out in the prey chat group.
However, less than half a minute later, gunshots rang out again. The gunfire lasted for two minutes before stopping, and the game notification appeared once more: Remaining prey 923/1000.
The prey chat group immediately exploded.
“Water Cup: Five minutes, 77 people found! How bad were their hiding spots?”
“A Wave of Welfare: Or maybe the hunters are too strong? Finding 77 people in five minutes, I’m so worried they’ll come over, ahhh!”
“Shuang Mu Lin: What exactly is happening? Can someone who saw it tell us?!”
Bang—
Bang bang—
Although the gunshots were not as dense as before, they continued to ring out. The number of people was still rapidly decreasing, already down to over eight hundred.
The people in the chat group grew increasingly panicked, and finally, someone spoke up at this moment.
“Black Mist Go Die: So many hunters, they were searching where I am just now. It scared me to death.”
“Black Mist Go Die: Everyone hide well! Many players were killed by hunters because their disguises weren’t reasonable enough. My god, those people are really terrifying.”
“I Really Want to Pass: These people are searching for players on the streets. All friends disguised on the street, hurry and hide.”
“If I Had a Thousand Points: I see them, I see them. Damn, I should have hidden in a house.”
…The chat group was discussing the current information. Because there were players everywhere, they were very clear about the hunters’ positions.
“Ostrich: Ahhh, a hunter just passed in front of me, damn, it scared me to death!”
“Fire Hydrant: I really am fire hydrant, my heart almost jumped out of my throat.”
“Muzi: The player next to me was killed! Just two meters away from me!!”
…The players outside were all terrified, but there were also some unusual players.
“Bad X Baby: Holy cow, the hunter who just walked past me was so handsome!”
“Bad X Baby: Those legs, that figure, so good!! Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, elite and cold, he’s so handsome!! I’d even be willing to be killed by him!!”
Are you crazy?!
Being infatuated at a time like this.
Upon seeing the messages from this person named Bad Baby, a flurry of curses appeared in the group.
However, this person named Bad X Baby only sent two messages before going silent. After some people cursed her, they started asking why she wasn’t speaking.
“I Am a Rain Cover: She might have already been killed. There’s a hunter with gold-rimmed glasses and an expressionless face right above me. He’s scarier than the other hunters around. He found all the perfectly disguised trash cans, small advertisements, and everything else. Luckily, he didn’t look down; I’m trembling right now.”
Hearing this, many people started discussing.
“Earn Points: Serves her right.”
“Water Heater: That infatuated person got her wish.”
The players inside the houses, knowing the hunters were still outside, were a bit more relaxed than the outdoor players, even having the mood to curse the infatuated one. But soon, bad news appeared in the chat group.
“Wanbi: This street is ‘V’-shaped. Hunters have already checked both sides of the street. They should be entering the houses now. Players inside, hurry and hide well!”
The hunters were about to enter the indoors, and the pressure instantly shifted to the players hidden inside.
These hunters entered the buildings from all directions simultaneously.
Abrupt wooden chairs, extra chopsticks, oil paintings on the photo wall… Another rapid burst of gunfire, and the number of players quickly decreased again.
The sound of gunfire and footsteps was now approaching Chu Yian’s hiding spot.
The room was incredibly quiet, but the three people hidden inside were all holding their breath, nervously awaiting the arrival of these hunters.
Soon, the door was suddenly kicked open, and several fierce-looking individuals rushed in from outside.
They all had some modified body parts and were all NPCs. These people held guns in their hands and, as soon as they entered, started sweeping the surroundings with a barrage of shots.
The teapot that was originally on the table was shattered by bullets, and the cabinets and TV were riddled with bullet holes. The worst off was the player disguised as a curtain, who was directly hit. The moment the NPC hit the curtain, he realized it was a prey, immediately fired another shot, and the player disguised as a curtain was eliminated.
Even with such a good disguise, he was found!!
Chu Yian looked at the shattered teapot on the table and the curtain that had turned into white light and disappeared, her nervous emotions intensifying a few more points.
