[Fate Game: Please note, the third squad has been completely wiped out; mission failed.]

"Looks like those two idiots are dead," Han Jiang said calmly by the fireplace.

A burst of sparks flew from the burning firewood.

Zhang Tianxi looked out the window at the twilight and sighed helplessly.

Jiang Yu then turned her gaze to Mo Lan.

But Mo Lan seemed unaffected, shrugged, and said, "There are many fools in this world who are beyond saving, even if a god came to save them."

Upon hearing this, Han Jiang's gaze, hidden behind his sunglasses, became more interested.

He discovered that Mo Lan, deep down, seemed to be a social activist as well.

Logically speaking, at Mo Lan's age, most boys are still in a state of ignorance and lack of understanding of society.

Passionate, full of a sense of justice, easily swept away, yet unable to hide a hint of cowardice in his heart.

There aren't many people who can accept the fact that the entire third squad was wiped out as calmly and rationally as Mo Lan.

It seems he didn't give me the wrong business card.

Zhang Tianxi then spoke up: "Mr. Han Jiang, could you please reveal some more information about the final boss?"

"As a token of my gratitude, I..."

"stop."

Han Jiang suddenly raised his hand, signaling Zhang Tianxi to stop talking.

Just when Mo Lan thought he was going to refuse...

Han Jiang calmly stated, "The Giant God Company's 'Player Code of Conduct - Tianhe Chapter' states that in any instance, company employees are obligated to assist official members directly under the Alliance Government in clearing instances, while ensuring their own interests are not harmed."

"So you don't need to talk to me about gratitude, it's just company policy."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianxi's expression turned serious, and he saluted Han Jiang:

"grateful!"

"Your group actually has such detailed rules?" Mo Lan was also a little surprised, while Jiang Yu, who was standing next to her, seemed to have known about it all along.

Han Jiang shrugged and said, "The martial world has never been about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions, and we are no exception."

"After all, we are just a company."

Mo Lan fell into thought upon hearing his words.

The fact that even the Giant God Group is so law-abiding suggests that the powerful force behind Tianhe is far more formidable than he imagined.

Next, Han Jiang began to reveal information about the boss to them.

Regardless of the other rules of "Hunting Time," he can confirm that the rules of the final round of the game are "role reversal."

In other words, all players must act as prey, searching for a map, escaping the forest, and heading to the extraction point, all while being hunted by hidden hunters.

"Is that hunter difficult to deal with?" Mo Lan asked.

Han Jiang nodded: "It's difficult. Not only does it have high HP, but it also has built-in resistance to all the skills of new players."

"Therefore, we'd better not try to defeat him. Find the coordinates of the extraction point in his cabin, and then just run."

At this moment, the prompt from the game of fate reappeared.

[Fate Game: Please note that this instance has reached its final stage. First and second teams, please prepare.]

The final round of the hunt is about to begin!

[Final Mission: "Role Reversal"]

[Mission Brief: You are the prey!]

[Mission Objective: Proceed to the Hunter's Lodge, retrieve the map, locate the extraction point, and leave the forest.]

The system's notification made Jiang Yu nervous. She raised her hand to adjust her glasses, clearly worried about the task ahead.

Mo Lan noticed her nervousness, but there was no time to comfort her at this moment.

Zhang Tianxi and Han Jiang quickly checked their equipment. Then Zhang Tianxi said to Mo Lan and Jiang Yu:

"Please stay behind me and try not to stray from the group."

OK.

Mo Lan didn't speak, but made a gesture.

The next second, the four of them were teleported away from the hunter's hut by the game of fate and thrown into a snow-covered field.

But when Mo Lan shook off the dizziness and opened her eyes in the wind and snow, she realized that something was wrong.

He instinctively reached for the long sword at his waist.

There were no teammates around, only the howling wind...

"Huh...?" Jiang Yu opened her eyes, and stood there alone in the dark night, stunned for a long time.

"Grass!"

On the other side of the forest, Han Jiang couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath: "What a fucking stupid game, they even tried to trick me in the last round."

Among the information he had, there was no mention of the final round of the game scattering the players' positions.

...

sough....

Mo Lan gently swept the long sword in her hand across the snow.

His nerves were on edge, and he dared not relax for a moment. Following the direction indicated by the system, he headed towards the hunter's hut.

In situations like this, it's a trade-off between speed and stealth.

If you arrive late, you might fall behind the main group and miss the evacuation point.

But if you walk too fast, you might attract hunters in the darkness and become their first prey.

Mo Lan may have chosen an intermediate value.

I wonder where they landed. I hope they're not too far away.

Mo Lan hesitated slightly about what to do next.

If someone is attacked, he doesn't know whether he should help or go directly to the cabin to get the map.

Similarly, human nature cannot withstand the test, and Mo Lan could hardly guarantee that Han Jiang and the others would not abandon her if she were attacked.

Fortunately, he was lucky and arrived safely outside the hunter's cabin.

The hut looked almost exactly like their previous hunter's hut from the outside, except that the windows were all sealed off.

Suddenly a stone was thrown out of the darkness.

Mo Lan and the others immediately understood the code, and each threw out a stone.

Soon, the four emerged from the dark forest and stood in front of the hunter's hut, nodding to each other.

Mo Lan glanced at the three of them, but there were no signs of fighting or injuries. It seemed that they were all very lucky.

Zhang Tianxi took the initiative to open the door.

Han Jiang gripped the dagger tightly, on high alert amidst the pitch-black forest all around.

Jiang Yu nervously swallowed.

The night was as dark as ink, without a single ray of light, and even the moon in the sky seemed to have lost its radiance.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the rustling sound of the treetops swaying gently.

"Everyone, I've found it."

Soon, Zhang Tianxi, his face slightly pale, emerged from the small house, holding a map that clearly indicated the direction to the railway.

What he didn't say was that he also saw Su Fu and Song Yang's... remains in the cabin.

[Fate Game: Evacuation coordinates successfully obtained. A freight train will pass through the Western Railway in fifteen minutes. Please board on time.]

If the player fails to board the train, the mission is considered a failure.

Han Jiang was stunned: "Fifteen minutes?!"

Everyone was shocked, knowing that they were in the heart of the forest, and even if they ran as fast as they could, they might not be able to catch the train.

Moreover, once they start running at full speed, they will inevitably create a huge commotion, which will attract the hunters to chase them.

"Damn it, this stupid game of fate! There's no time to lose, everyone run with me! Otherwise, we'll all die here!"

Han Jiang cursed under his breath again, then was the first to rush towards the direction marked on the map.

Mo Lan and Jiang Yu followed closely behind.

Zhang Tianxi gripped his pistol tightly, his fingertips always on the trigger, taking the initiative to cover the rear.

The discrepancy in the intelligence in the final round is mostly due to the different number of survivors in each game.

Now, they can only leave it to fate.

The four of them had no time to pay attention to their surroundings and ran wildly through the dark forest.

"Rustle and rustle..."

However, what made everyone's hearts race was the feeling that something was rapidly approaching them in the darkness.

It's like a cockroach that suddenly pounces on your face after the lights are turned off, triggered by an instant shock.

Suddenly, Zhang Tianxi felt something brush past his ear, and he broke out in a cold sweat, but it was too late to warn anyone.

"what!"

A white bone arrow struck Jiang Yu in the group with unexpected speed.

Whether it was bad luck or the hunter's keen observation that made him realize that Jiang Yu was the weakest of the four in terms of combat strength, it is unclear.

In nature, even a powerful lion will prey on calves when hunting.

This is because it can not only disrupt the herd's formation, but also reduce the risk of hunting.

After letting out a scream, Jiang Yu collapsed onto the muddy ground.

His white coat was quickly stained red with blood.

It's over....

Jiang Yu's heart turned ice-cold, as if she had fallen into an abyss.

The arrow struck her in the waist, causing her to lose her balance.

This almost means that she is beyond saving.

"What do we do?!"

At this moment, both Mo Lan and Han Jiang had this question in their minds, and they hesitated whether to stop.

This is the difficult choice that cattle have to face when migrating...

Zhang Tianxi's answer was:

"thumping!!"

The moment the arrow struck Jiang Yu, this ordinary grassroots special agent slammed on the brakes and stood in front of the hunter behind him.

Without any hesitation, he pulled the trigger in the direction the hunter had shot the arrow.

"Pfft!"

The sound of a bullet hitting a body rang out, and the hunter in the forest was enraged, seemingly furious.

He accelerated, transforming into a blur as he crashed into Zhang Tianxi.

Only then did everyone get a clear look at his appearance.

He was nearly two meters tall, as strong as a tank, wearing a tattered fur coat, a mask resembling a wolf's head, and bloodshot eyes.

Click!

Faced with the hunter's counterattack, Zhang Tianxi did not hesitate for a moment and fired several more shots at the opponent.

However, it is difficult to achieve any further results.

His sidearm lacks sufficient stopping power, making it clearly ineffective against this berserk boss.

His skills only involve enhancing his physical strength.

"Oh shit!"

Just as Zhang Tianxi was feeling troubled, an arrow, accompanied by a hurricane, flew from behind him and struck the hunter in the chest.

The impact of the hurricane arrow abruptly interrupted the hunter's frenzied charge.

It was Han Jiang; he turned around and fired a whirlwind arrow.

His ability stems from his first skill, further enhanced by the special effects of the composite bow in his hand.

Meanwhile, Mo Lan had already taken the opportunity to run to Jiang Yu's side, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her out of the mud.

Without any consultation or communication.

In an instant, the three of them achieved perfect teamwork.

It's important to understand that cooperation is something that has been ingrained in humankind since ancient times.

They are strong precisely because of cooperation.

"You, you guys...!" Jiang Yu's face, covered in mud splattered beneath her long gray hair, was filled with disbelief.

Mo Lan looked up and exchanged a glance with Han Jiang, already understanding what he meant.

He grabbed Jiang Yu, got up and ran, brushing past her.

All the cooperation was understood without being spoken.

"Let's go! We can catch up!" Zhang Tianxi then turned and ran towards them.

Han Jiang, meanwhile, drew his bow and shot arrows as he ran, exhausting his mental energy to fire another wind arrow, stirring up a large patch of snow mist.

The hunter raised his knife and slashed down the arrow that came flying through the air. However, when he looked back in the direction his prey had fled, a specially made stun grenade landed right in front of him.

These were snacks that Zhang Tianxi left for him.

Om-! ! !

"Aaaaaah!!"

The furious roar, like that of a lion, accompanied by heavy footsteps, swept through the forest, smashing countless trees.

"Waaaaaah!!!!"

The whistle of the steam train echoed across the sky at dawn.

thumping!

"Jump!"

Mo Lan, with Jiang Yu by her side, grabbed the railing at the back of the train, climbed over the half-ladder, and went inside.

Following them were Han Jiang and Zhang Tianxi, who rushed over and nimbly grabbed the railing, tumbling to the ground.

[Fate Game: Congratulations, you've boarded the last train.]

[Beginner Dungeon - Cleared!]

Mo Lan gazed at the receding forest and let out a long sigh: "Lucky~"

Han Jiang sighed, "It's the last train!"

Zhang Tianxi: "Thanks to everyone's help."

"I...I really didn't expect this, thank you all..."

Jiang Yu then wiped the mud off her face, as well as the tears that had somehow covered her cheeks.

Her face was covered in paste, but it couldn't hide the excitement on her face.

"Click!"

The butcher, who had been hunting along the railway tracks, stomped on Jiang Yu's glasses, which had fallen off, and smashed them to pieces.

With the system notification, the four figures disappeared from the train.

They didn't even have time to say goodbye.

[The Fate Game: Beginner Dungeon (Rank E) has ended and is now returning...]

"Current source power: E-level - 30%"

Mo Lan quickly scanned them.
