Film and Television: The Collector Who Rampages Across the Heavens

Chapter 92 The Consequences of Keyboard Warriors Talking Too Much

The wind is blowing gently —

Su Li opened her eyes and was greeted by a clear blue sky that looked as if it had just been washed. She spread her mental energy and found herself in a place surrounded by forests and rippling blue water, like a resort paradise.

That's right, this is the real-life battlefield of the battle royale movie "The Hunt".

There were 12 other people like him, with gags stuffed in their mouths, dressed in different ways, including security guards and athletes.

His identity—a Chinese American, the owner of a Chinese restaurant, who was originally on vacation but was kidnapped and brought here to participate in this killing game.

Fortunately, his English was good, otherwise I really wouldn't have understood him.

"Hey everyone, come over here—"

Does anyone know what this place is?

People from all directions gathered in the center of the meadow, looking at each other. A wooden shipping container stood on the ground without any markings.

The daring bearded guy was the first to step forward and use the crowbar placed next to him to pry it open.

The fat security guard shouted, "Wait—there might be a bomb inside!"

Upon hearing this, everyone scattered in all directions. The bearded man hesitated for a moment, but ignored him and pried open the wooden container in a few quick movements.

He glanced inside, walked in, and pulled out two mounting plates filled with weapons.

There's also a little pig, which is clearly meant to imply something.

The weapons available are quite diverse, including melee weapons such as knives, daggers, axes, Desert Eagles, Uzis, AK47s, M4A1s, and more.

There was a key on the ground. A tall girl with long, wavy blonde hair and wearing sportswear that accentuated her shapely long legs picked it up and tugged at her companion's sleeve.

The latter immediately understood and helped her remove the sealing device.

Zuli used her telekinesis to poke a hole in the keyhole, and the sealing device came off. She walked to the weapon storage box and selected a Nepalese kukri, a revolver Desert Eagle, and an automatic Scar rifle.

He then began to move away from the area. His psychic power could clearly sense several guns aimed at him hundreds of meters away, waiting for everyone to grab their weapons before signaling the hunt.

"Hey sir, where are you going?"

The chubby security guard had just introduced himself as Tang. Seeing Su Li take the weapon and leave, he quickly called out to her.

Su Li didn't turn around, and said calmly, "Find a way to get out of here—"

"I think it's better if we act together."

"No, I still prefer to act alone."

Su Li had no interest in rescuing these guys. According to the movie, they were keyboard warriors on the internet, the kind of scoundrels who spread rumors, embellish stories, and talk nonsense without knowing the facts.

However, in this world of the United States, they were schemed against by a group of wealthy people who were about to pay the price with their blood. These wealthy people were also talking nonsense online and were subsequently fired by their companies. Neither of them were good people.

Just as we reached the edge of the woods, gunshots rang out from the grassland, like a signal.

A dull blast from a sniper rifle rang out, and the blonde girl with wavy hair was instantly headshot, her head exploding like a watermelon.

Another woman, dressed in casual pants, ran frantically in all directions, only to plunge headfirst into a trap filled with spikes, her body pierced by the gleaming steel spikes.

"ah----"

Screams filled the air, but then a landmine exploded, sending another man flying into the air, his limbs and torso scattered all over the ground.

Su Li withdrew her telekinetic power and spread it outwards, anticipating danger in advance.

After quickly leaving the meadow, he arrived at the small shop with the Arkansas state sign. With a mental scan, the images of the old man and woman inside appeared in his mind.

He cocked his rifle, strode over, pushed open the door, and the bell on it rang melodiously.

"Welcome, sir. Is there anything you need?"

The old lady gave a particularly kind smile, while the old gentleman wiped the coffee table with a cloth and also cast a gentle glance at Su Li.

But Su Li, who was familiar with the plot, knew that the old woman and the old man were ruthless and cruel. Despite their harmless appearance, they killed two groups of people in the movie.

In the end, the female protagonist, a special forces soldier, noticed something was wrong and swiftly eliminated him.

"I'd like cigarettes, this—thank you!"

Su Li reached out and pointed to the light blue cigarettes under the glass counter.

Five dollars.

After the old lady finished speaking, she bent down to get him a cigarette, but before she could react, Su Li suddenly punched the old man next to her in the head. The terrifying force caused the latter to bleed from his nose and fall straight to the ground.

Before the old lady could react, Su Li grabbed her by the collar, lifted her up, pulled her off the glass counter, and slammed her to the ground.

He took out his Desert Eagle, pressed it against the other person's forehead, and crouched down.

"Ma'am, this isn't Arkansas, is it?"

The elderly woman, dazed and confused from the fall, took a while to recover. A look of horror flashed in her eyes as she said in a panic, "It's Arkansas, of course it's Arkansas—sir, why did you attack us?"

"Why does this place remind me of Croatia?" Zuli said with a playful smile.

The old woman instinctively screamed, "How—how did you know?!"

It seemed the plot hadn't changed. Su Li nodded secretly, her index finger gripping the trigger, her eyes turning cold.

"No, sir—wait a minute!"

Before the old lady could finish speaking, a sharp gunshot rang out from inside the convenience store, and the second hunter met his end.

Next, Su Li searched the convenience store and found five or six hundred dollars. As for the other snacks and drinks, he dared not take any of them because they were all poisoned.

It has to be said that these rich people are really willful; all the props are real, and everything in the entire convenience store is laced with poison.

Before leaving, he set a fire, grabbed the Hunter's internal communication walkie-talkie, and walked out the door.

He walked toward an old, orange-red pickup truck, and before he had taken a few steps forward, he heard whistling coming from the woods.

I glanced at it, and it was the female lead!

Without hesitation, Su Li took a few steps forward with her gun. The other person also stood up, and the two sized each other up and faced off.

The female lead is wearing a red cardigan over a light blue t-shirt, and long pants.

She has a slender figure, fair skin, long, straight, light golden hair, a cool and aloof face, a determined gaze, and a very tactical way of holding a gun.

Finally, the other person spoke first, a smile appearing on their usually expressionless, aloof face: "Sir, what's the situation inside?"

"Two hunters. This isn't Arkansas, it's Croatia, in southeastern Europe, in the northwestern Balkans. They're no longer in the United States."

Zuli replied calmly and efficiently.

The woman was slightly surprised, not expecting that the man had obtained so much information in just a few minutes after entering.

She extended a hand that held the gun; though slender, it wasn't smooth, and shook hands with Su Li.

"Hello, I'm Betty————"

"Just call me Su."

After mutual confirmation and introductions, the two sides established a temporary mutual trust. After some discussion, they decided to prioritize finding the railway, as the railway would provide direction and a train would take them directly to the city.

The two set off immediately, but before they had gone a few steps, Su Li's psychic powers sent him an alarm, indicating that a small, fully armed combat squad was advancing towards them.

He grabbed Betty's sleeve and gave her a look.

"Follow me!"

Without much hesitation, the latter ambushed him on the other side of the bushes. Within minutes, five or six combat team members passed by menacingly.

Because of the hood, his face is not visible, but he is definitely not a good person, that's for sure.

Su Li noticed a slight change in the plot; these people weren't in the movie.

But in reality, a group of wealthy people would definitely have bodyguards, otherwise who would protect them if they encountered danger?

"Take them down. These guys are probably with that group of hunters."

Are you sure?

Betty glanced at him, said those words, but had already assumed a shooting stance.

"Are you ready? Fire on my command, 3, 2, 1—"

"Da da da!"

The rapid gunfire brought forth bursts of light that claimed lives, splashing out from the side of the bushes. Before the combat team members could react in time, two or three of them fell to the ground.

"CIt (concealed), someone's in the bushes—"

These combatants were clearly specially trained and reacted very quickly; the remaining three quickly dispersed.

One of the team members saw the direction of the firing, took out a grenade from his waist, pulled the safety pin, and threw it.

"Damn it!"

Betty muttered a curse under her breath, but Zuli beside her remained motionless.

"Hi???"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the other party take out a Desert Eagle and fire two shots into the air. The grenade seemed to have been hit and flew back directly.

"Shit?"

"?"

A deafening, roaring explosion blasted the equally stunned team members to smithereens.

"God, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Having been on the battlefield, Betty knew very well how outrageous the man's actions were and how tiny the chance of hitting him was.

Is this guy no ordinary person?

With his calm mind, precise shooting skills, and clean, efficient movements, even ordinary special forces soldiers would be no match for him, Betty thought to herself.

In reality, Su Li's pistol didn't hit the grenade at all; instead, he used telekinesis, invisible to others, to launch it.

The remaining two combatants were clearly frightened and began to retreat in an orderly manner, while calling for backup on the radio.

The walkie-talkie that Su Li had placed next to her echoed with their voices.

Under Zuli's instructions, Betty circled around to the other side, and the two remaining men had no chance of survival and were shot dead.

After removing the hood from one of the men, Betty crouched down to examine him and shook her head. "I don't recognize him, but judging from the calluses on his hands, he must be a soldier who has handled a gun."

After cleaning up the battlefield and replenishing his ammunition, Su Li took the opportunity to store it in his storage space.

"Let's go, the gunshots will attract a lot of people."

The two followed the path and walked forward for half an hour until they saw the long railway tracks.

"If you keep walking straight ahead, you might be able to see the city."

Betty rested the M4 rifle on her shoulder, let out a long sigh, and glanced at the man next to her out of the corner of her eye. He wasn't even out of breath.

Their physical abilities also surpass those of ordinary people.

Just then, the psychic power that Su Li had been spreading out sounded an alarm again, and he once again grabbed the woman's sleeve and hid in the woods.

Two or three drones flew overhead, circled for a while, and then dispersed when they found no one around.

Betty's fair and handsome face showed a puzzled expression as she tilted her head and asked, "How did you figure it out?"

"intuition!"

Betty gave her a look that said, "You think I believe that?"

At that moment, a slight tremor came from the ground, and the rails made a crisp knocking sound. The two looked over together and saw a train rumbling in the distance. It was an old-fashioned train that was being phased out both domestically and in most other countries.

It has a side-opening door, clearly indicating that it's for carrying cargo.

Su Li quickened her pace and ran over, her agile steps lightly touching the ground with her toes as she jumped up.

He turned and reached out to the woman following closely behind. Betty grabbed his hand and used it to pull him onto the train, bumping into him with the ball in her arms. A delicate fragrance lingered in her nose, and she felt a soft touch against her chest.

"You seem a bit flat-chested? Do you have a B cup?"

Betty glared at him, smoothed her hair, and retorted, "Flat-chested are a precious resource. Big Bear's America has them everywhere. Besides, your judgment is inaccurate. I have a B+."

Su Li chuckled, picked up his gun, and went into the cubicle. Inside were a group of stowaway men and women, all of whom were refugees.

Upon seeing the two men with guns, the two men, who did not speak English, huddled in the back of the carriage, anxiously trying to explain what they were saying.

Su Li glanced at the man in the baseball cap, who looked to be of Indian descent. She used her telekinesis to scan the man's backpack, which contained a pistol and a hand grenade.

He whispered something in Betty's ear, and the woman nodded knowingly.

The two sides remained silent in a stalemate. The train moved forward for five or six minutes before slowly slowing down.

Croatian soldiers gradually appeared on both sides of the perimeter, numbering over a hundred fully armed, some of them leading hunting dogs.

Under the barrage of reprimands from soldiers who couldn't understand their language, the group slowly disembarked. After a conversation with the leading officer, Su Li and Betty were taken directly to another military base.

Coincidentally, just like in the original story, the security guard, Fatty Tang, was also here. He was very excited to see the two of them alive.

"God, you probably don't know what's going on. Those guys are hunting us down, and there are some armed men too—"

Tang talked on and on, his face filled with terror. He said that he had gone through a lot of trouble to break through the encirclement of those people and escape to this place.

Su Li sincerely praised, "Tang, you are very lucky."

"To hell with luck, all I want now is to get out of here—"

At this point, the military base commander hung up the phone and said to the three men, "Madam and sir, I have already spoken to your U.S. embassy, ​​and they said they will arrange for someone to come and pick you up this afternoon."

"Thank you, thank you very much."

Tang felt reassured; with the embassy there, he could leave safely.

Zurich remained noncommittal.

The three were invited by the soldiers to the military base's recreation area, where they were given a rest room and some tea and fruit.

Tang Xian was terrified and kept talking non-stop to find someone to chat with.

Su Li had no interest in talking to him. Holding something that looked like an orange or a tangerine, she peeled it, stood at the door, and gazed at the green mountains and forests that were blocked off by barbed wire.

Think about what to do after you leave this storyline.

According to the system's predictions, you might trigger a storyline no matter where you go, so just pick any place.

"Can I have half?"

Betty came up from behind, touched his shoulder, and gave him a smile.

Compared to Fatty Tang, the two of them clearly had the most mutual trust throughout their journey.

Betty took the fruit, broke off a piece, and put it in her mouth: "What are you thinking about?"

"I'm considering where I should go after leaving Croatia."

"You're not going back to the US?"

"I'd like to go back, but do you think these hunters will let us go so easily?"

A thoughtful look flashed in Betty's beautiful eyes: "Let's talk about it at the end. Maybe we won't be able to escape from here!"

Su Li pursed his lips. If there was any real danger, he would immediately abandon the luck-gathering mission and return to reality.

It's impossible to risk one's life.

Around 1 p.m., the U.S. Embassy sent staff over, including a chubby man in a black suit. I didn't hear his name, Zuli, because he was also one of the hunters.

"Sir and Madam, please get in the car. The embassy is already aware of the details. We'll discuss it in more detail when we get back."

The fat man in the black suit got into the driver's seat, and Tang hurriedly opened the passenger door and followed him in, recounting his ordeal.

As Su Li walked around the back of the car, she scanned it with her mind and saw the corpse of a man in a red coat inside. He was one of the thirteen people.

He tapped Betty's soft, slender waist with his finger, and she gave him an inquiring look.

"What's wrong?"

Be careful, this ambassador is fake!

Betty blinked: "Are you sure?"

Of course, there was the smell of blood in the back of the car.

Betty indicated that she understood and hinted that once the car left the military base, she would capture the ambassador and question him thoroughly.

Su Li gave her a look, blinked her right eye, and said, "I love your decisive and ruthless personality, it's great!"

Upon hearing this, Betty's thin red lips involuntarily curled up, revealing a smile.

The car quickly drove out of the military base. After driving for two or three minutes, Betty suddenly felt a pain in her fair cheek and patted the front seat.

"Excuse me, sir, I need to use the restroom—"

"We'll be there soon, hang in there," the chubby man in the suit said casually.

"No, I can't hold on," Betty said, her tone tinged with displeasure.

Su Li also said, "Let's stop the car. I need to use the restroom. It won't take long."

"7

"Okay, okay————"

The fat man in the suit stopped the car, glanced at the two getting out, and then saw Su Li reach behind her back and pull out a pistol from somewhere. Then Su Li was pressed against her forehead. Betty had already opened the trunk, and sure enough, there was a corpse inside.

"Sir, let me see your hands, and slowly get out of the car."

"Okay—okay, don't get agitated, we can discuss any issues calmly."

The overweight man in the suit got out of the car with his hands raised, while Tang, standing next to him, looked puzzled and asked, "Hey, you two, what's going on?"

"Just look in the trunk and you'll see."

Betty punched the fat man in the suit in the stomach, who doubled over in pain and fell to the ground. She grabbed his collar and demanded, "Tell me, why did you arrest us? What's your purpose? Who are you people?"

The overweight man in the suit, sweat beading on his forehead, explained, "I think you've misunderstood. I'm just an ordinary staff member at the embassy."
