Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"50 centimeters away."

Lin Yumo heard the message An Ran had sent.

The sword in her hand has a blade length of 71cm.

He accomplished his goal with a single sword strike.

Activating skills in the game is a simple matter; the key lies in when and where to activate skills and how to connect skills.

But facing two targets waiting for an opportunity, Lin Yumo didn't need to consider such things at all.

A single sword strikes, and waves surge forth.

Suddenly, the seemingly ordinary sword was surrounded by surging waves. With a horizontal slash, the sound of the surging waves seemed to pull one to the seashore. The watery light instantly illuminated the surroundings. The aura wasn't particularly fierce, but the sword light was so fast that no one could react at all.

"So fast!"

The players standing nearby only had time to utter such a silent sigh before the thick door was cleaved open by a single sword strike.

"Hold the grass!"

The two men guarding the door knew something was wrong as soon as they heard the sound of the surging waves, but they were completely unable to react.

It was too fast. The person on the left had just raised his gun when the door was smashed open and hit him in the face, breaking his nose.

Compared to his companions, being hit on the wall by the door was nothing short of lucky.

His companion was instantly swept away by the surging waves.

"Let's do it!"

Apart from Zhou Jieyu, who infiltrated the group of top players, all the other players who have reached this level have genuine skills.

The target was a single person, who was unable to mount an effective resistance while airborne.

Five guns were pulled at once.

Boom!

Whoosh whoosh!

Although bullets propelled by kinetic energy arrive slower than lasers, their penetrating power is by no means small.

Clap!

Two bullets were immediately embedded in the glass wall of the crew room, and the blood splattered on it quickly dried under the heat of the laser.

The bullet lodged right next to the pillar where Liang Chu tied Ma Qi up.

If this were a regular glass wall, he would have been killed by mistake just now.

Holding one side of the rope with one hand, Liang Chu's heart turned ice-cold. He froze, his lips slightly parted, unable to utter a word.

His right hand slid down and accidentally bumped into something hard—a gun. Right, there was another big gun below him!

Liang Chu pulled out his gun, which calmed him down a little.

"Huh, why is there only one person?" The players crowded at the door were stunned when they saw the NPC lying on the ground. Weren't there supposed to be two people standing at the door?

Lin Yumo looked around. This shouldn't be happening. Why would An Ran lie to her about something like this?

If it's not directly in front, then it must be...

Just as she thought of this, the wide-open door suddenly collapsed, and Lin Yumo quickly retreated to create a one-meter distance.

"Monster!"

Zhou Jieyu screamed and stared intently at the person who appeared behind the door.

Its face was flat, covered with debris and bloodstains, and it looked like a flesh-eating zombie that had stepped out of a horror movie, except that this "zombie" was holding something in its hand.

"You all should die!"

The "zombie," its mouth full of blood, roared and lunged toward the door.

Bombs! Bombs! Bombs!

The experienced Zhou Jieyu immediately recognized what the "zombie" was holding.

This is an engineering bomb used for directional blasting. Although it is not very powerful, if it explodes in such a narrow passage, probably not many of them will survive.

Zhou Jieyu instinctively lay down on the ground, and the "zombie" stepped over her.

"Run!"

Zhou Jieyu tugged at Li Zhuying's trouser leg and quickly climbed into the house. Her agility, clarity of thought, and smoothness of action almost stunned Lin Yumo, who had pulled her behind the wall to hide after realizing something was wrong.

"Wait……"

Li Zhuying was ultimately a step too late.

On escaping.

She's no longer as experienced as Zhou Jieyu!

This was a complete defeat!

"Boom!"

Despite the stadium's sturdy walls, the sudden explosion shattered them into pieces, and players at the epicenter saw their health bars emptied in a flash of white light.

It ended before it even began.

What happened to the hidden quest?

I'm so angry!

"You have triggered the hidden quest 'The Fall of the Mountain and the Tower,' do you wish to accept it?"

Wait, did I really trigger a hidden quest?

Zhou Jieyu, who had been trembling in Lin Yumo's arms while covering her ears, stopped trembling immediately.

An Ran has received a hidden quest, and there's a yellow exclamation mark above her head.

Wouldn't that mean double the number of hidden quests?

Ah!

She hurriedly scrambled off Lin Yumo.

"Well--"

Lin Yumo also stood up, but her cheeks were flushed, and she looked at Zhou Jieyu, who had been rubbing against her earlier, with some embarrassment and annoyance.

Having played together for so long, the three of them have long since enabled many of the restrictions between them.

Zhou Jieyu didn't notice this; she excitedly ran to the corridor.

a mess.

Li Zhuying is no longer here.

The "zombie" was at the very center of the bomb and was blown to pieces. If it weren't for the fact that a certain level of censorship was enabled, the gore would have made Zhou Jieyu vomit.

For example, one player who barely survived with the help of several tanks was already looking pale, lying on the ground and about to collapse at any moment. He regretted pursuing such realistic excitement.

"vomit……"

"Don't come any closer!"

Liang Chu pressed the gun to Ma Qi's head. It was too gruesome. One corpse was separated from him only by a glass wall, and his other companion had already been reduced to pieces.

He was incredibly grateful to the two men for bringing Maggie to the crew quarters; otherwise, without this hostage, he would probably be a corpse by now.

"If you take another step, I'll kill her!" Liang Chu's face contorted with rage.

The gun muzzle poked Maggie, and perhaps because it hurt, she groaned and woke up from her dizziness.

She quickly realized her situation.

She was still being held hostage, and this unassuming man was threatening the two strangers with her life.

Lin Yumo remained silent, but her gaze drifted to An Ran and Ella.

The situation is a bit tense.

Liang Chu laughed and said, "You probably don't know her identity yet. She's the governor's youngest daughter. If she dies here because of you, then..."

It goes without saying.

Even players would probably have a terrible gaming experience if they were chased by a bunch of NPCs.

Zhou Jieyu, who was initially thinking that it was just an NPC, suddenly stopped.

"Let her go right now!" Zhou Jieyu said, clearly annoyed.

"Release her? That's impossible." Liang Chu sneered. "If you want her to live, you two will get out of this room now."

"This……"

"Ok?"

Liang Chu grabbed Ma Qi by the neck, and his grip was quite strong, causing Ma Qi's face to turn red instantly.

Just leave the room.

Liang Chu didn't have many demands. Those two dead men had already contacted Anderson. They wanted to buy some time, and once Anderson arrived with his men, all the surviving strangers would die.

"Get out!" Liang Chu shouted.

"Well."

Maggie felt like she was suffocating.

"Wait, I'm going out, I'm going out!" Zhou Jieyu helplessly raised her hands and slowly backed towards the door.

She even wanted to stage a scene where Miss Zhou bravely rescued the daughter of the Imperial Governor and lived a life of nobility from then on.

snort!

"It seems the danger has temporarily passed."

Liang Chu released his grip on Ma Qi's hand, but did not move the gun away. He turned around and spoke to An Ran in a relatively relaxed tone.

"The anti-gravity unit over here... hmm."

Turning around, he saw a round, heavy metal rod coming straight at him. Liang Chu was completely dumbfounded and couldn't even muster a move to resist.
