Chapter 239 The First Poison Circle Shrinks

In the Youlan Islands, in the hospital district, the hastily assembled alliance revealed its fragile nature in the face of successive defeats.

[Winner takes the lead] [Red side] [Duel ends]

The cold font, accompanied by the repeated broadcasts, was like a death knell tolling in the hearts of those who were besieging the area.

Three consecutive losses.

A crack that was difficult to mend appeared in the crowd, and the previously unified front began to falter.

Some people quietly retreated, their eyes gleaming, and left this circle of justice.

[Winner takes the lead] [Red side] [Duel ends]

Six consecutive losses.

Internal strife broke out.

The strategy of "some people delay, some people develop, and then come back for the final battle" has now revealed a fatal contradiction.

"Who will go to their death? Who will develop their character?"

A sharp question rang out from the crowd, but no one answered.

"I...I can't beat them, you guys go first."

The alliance, which was barely maintained by so-called "morality" and the common goal of defeating bosses, began to crumble in the face of the cruel reality of "interests".

However, some "heroes" chose to persevere.

They may have been driven by genuine anger, or perhaps by a firm belief that they represented justice and wanted to eliminate Li Guanqi and Tang Xin, these two "heretics" who were breaking the rules.

They gritted their teeth and stepped forward from the crowd.

[Winner takes the lead] [Red side] [Duel ends]

10-game losing streak.

Even the last "heroes" finally felt fear.

An incomprehensible fear.

why?
These two people never returned to the safe zone to resupply.

Their deck is still the original, incomplete set of [Puppet Dessert] and [Magic Shotgun].

"Why can't we win!"

Someone let out a defiant roar, their face contorted in pain.

Extreme emotions only fueled their final madness; they became even more determined not to let these two "devilish" men leave alive and return to the safe zone.

[Winner takes the lead] [Red side] [Duel ends]

Thirteen consecutive losses.

Everyone stared in horror at the two people in the center of the flat ground.

Fear completely overwhelmed all anger and resentment.

"We can't win."

"run"

"It's not too late to run now."

The thought that "when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter" and "better to die than myself" took hold.

The escape began, with everyone scrambling to get ahead.

The forty or fifty people who were once so aggressive have been eliminated or fled, and in the blink of an eye, only the last two are left, still standing in the same spot, raising their guns with trembling hands.

Li Guanqi and Tang Xin stood back to back, breathing heavily.

The duel itself wasn't intense, but fighting non-stop for one or two hours was a huge drain on both mental and physical strength.

They broke free of the encirclement, but did not choose to leave immediately.

The two men slowly raised the muzzles of their guns, pointing them at their two remaining opponents.

As long as there are still people standing on the other side, the battle will not stop.

"duel!"

"Boom!"

The final two duel bullets were fired.

[Winner takes the lead] [Red side] [Duel ends]

Fourteen-game winning streak.

The two "devils" finally stopped what they were doing, breathing heavily, their clothes soaked with sweat.

The last two "heroes" collapsed to the ground, as if all their strength had been drained, their heads drooping and their eyes vacant.

Li Guanqi really wanted to move the gun and finish off the two of them with a shot that would eliminate them.

Unfortunately, he and Tang Xin ran out of ammunition in the continuous battles, leaving only a small amount of spare ammunition, which was not enough to trigger elimination. They had initially prepared ammunition with a quota of 2, 5, and 20, but they did not expect to get caught up in such a long and fierce battle.

Just then, two people slowly walked over from not far away.

Li Guanqi recognized them; they were the "Development Army".

The crowd that had previously surrounded them was clearly divided into two groups. One group was responsible for blocking them and preventing them from returning to the safe zone; the other group used this time to do tasks, duel with candidates from other districts, and accumulate quotas. Li Guanqi privately called them the "development army".

Compared to the encirclement army, the development army is obviously more difficult to deal with.

They have a more complete deck.

The two people in front of me seem to be the ones who have been developing the longest and are the strongest. They have probably already resupplyed in the safe zone several times.

The last two blockers, who were lying on the ground, saw the newcomers and their eyes lit up with hope.

"You've finally arrived! Our perseverance was worthwhile..."

The words have not yet fallen.

"Bang! Bang!" Two gunshots rang out.

The two approaching "development soldiers" raised their guns without hesitation, and two discarded bullets accurately hit the two paralyzed men.

Two pale golden barriers instantly appeared, enveloping them. A cold system announcement rang out.

[Qianque Palace - Jiang Chenyu, eliminated]

[Dainichi Wake - Ryuichi Uesugi, eliminated]

The changes happened too quickly.

The two eliminated players sat blankly inside the barrier, staring incredulously at the two "developmental soldiers" they had just regarded as their saviors.

"Why..." Their voices trembled with despair.

"This isn't what we agreed on!"

One of them suddenly lunged at the barrier, pounding on it violently, pointing at Li Guanqi and Tang Xin in the distance, and shouting at the top of his lungs:
"The devil is over there!"

"What happened to the agreed-upon tactics?"

They are responsible for containing the enemy, while the development team focuses on development, and then they return together to eliminate the powerful enemy.

What now?
The two "developmental soldiers" wore undisguised sneers on their faces.

One of them, a woman dressed in a light blue outfit with a pretty face, Yu Wanyin, spoke with a hint of disdain. Her voice was not loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

"You are also a part of development." She blinked.

"We are also a part of the development." Inside the barrier, the examinee from Daihiyori, upon hearing this, roared with his last breath, his eyes bloodshot, "Kuso!"

“Yu Wanyin, you’re on my side!” another person shouted.

"Did you two have a son...?"

Amidst the filthy curses, the two barriers slowly rose into the air, filled with resentment and bitterness, and were sucked into the mechanical spaceship in the sky.

The battlefield fell silent once more.

Only Li Guanqi, Tang Xin, and the two development soldiers who had just cleaned up the "household" remained.

Li Guanqi was panting heavily, his arm holding the Yi Na gun was a little sore, but the muzzle was still pointing steadily forward. Tang Xin stood beside him, also breathing rapidly, but her eyes were unusually firm.

"Bang! Bang!" Two bullets, each worth 2, were fired.

Yu Wanyin and the man in purple on the opposite side simply tilted their heads slightly, and the bullets grazed their hair.

Too easy.

Li Guanqi's eyelids twitched. These two were something else.

Others managed to dodge bullets earlier, but not with such ease.

"If you're going to fight, hurry up," Li Guanqi said in a deep voice, looking at the two of them.

If this drags on any longer, the god-tier 'war god' gear from other regions will arrive.

He and Tang Xin were considered the war gods of the hospital district, with a balance of nearly one million yuan, but they hadn't replenished their supplies yet.

Yu Wanyin smiled, raised her hands in a French salute, and said, "No."

Li Guanqi and Tang Xin were both stunned for a moment.

Then, Yu Wanyin looked intently at Li Guanqi, her tone carrying an air of natural admiration: "Moreover, I like you very much."

The air froze instantly upon hearing this.

Tang Xin reacted strongly, taking a step forward to block Li Guanqi, pointing her gun directly at Yu Wanyin: "You! You, speak properly!"

Her voice trembled slightly.

She wasn't in a hurry to talk about duels or fights, but what does it mean when she suddenly says, "I really like you"?
Do you think I'm some kind of idiot?!

Li Guanqi tugged at Tang Xin, telling her not to get too excited, while his gaze quickly swept over Yu Wanyin and the silent purple-clad man beside her.

"What exactly do you want?" Li Guanqi asked in a deep voice.

“I am Yu Wanyin from Jiwang Township.” Yu Wanyin put away her smile and became more serious. She pointed to the man in purple next to her, “This is my brother, Yu Wancha.”

She paused, then announced a startling figure: "Our combined combat strength is now 258 million."

"At this stage of the assessment, the elimination of the weak is inevitable."

Yu Wanyin stated calmly, "This is not a ranking competition based on who has the highest score, but a survival battle. The most efficient way to play is for the strong to unite and eliminate the lower levels."

She looked at Li Guanqi again, her eyes filled with confidence: "So, we would like to invite the two of you to form a team."

"Shouldn't the strong stand together?"

A coalition of powerful individuals? To purge the lower ranks? Li Guanqi sneered inwardly upon hearing this.

The scene of these two cleaning up their "teammates" was still fresh in their minds.

“That makes a lot of sense.” Li Guanqi smirked, a hint of mockery in his expression. “But—”

"We refuse!"

He and Tang Xin shouted the words at the same time, raised their guns in unison, and aimed at Yu Wanyin and her brother again.

Tang Xin pursed her lips tightly, her eyes showing no hesitation.

Compared to her, Qing Ji seemed to have a friendly face.

At least Qingji only wanted her credit limit and even if she slightly damaged her reputation, the credit limit and reputation were minor matters. But this woman is different; she wants to take advantage of my Eighth Brother.

Can this be tolerated? !

The smile on Yu Wanyin's face vanished completely after being rejected so decisively.

"Why bother?" Yu Wanyin snorted coldly, her eyes sharpening. "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences?"

With fluid movements, she took out a bullet flashing a blinding red light from her waist, a 20-yuan bullet, and skillfully loaded it into the gun with a click.

Yu Wancha, who was standing next to him, also silently raised his gun.

The air tensed instantly. Li Guanqi and Tang Xin gripped their guns, preparing to meet the onslaught.

Just as tensions were rising, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly came from high above, echoing throughout the entire Youlan Islands.

[WARNING! The first safe zone will begin to shrink in five minutes.]

All candidates are requested to proceed to the designated safe area as soon as possible.
