Chapter 9: Melee
Team up to fight on the battlefield, under a big tree.
The three of them had just finished a battle and were taking a break. Shi Chu checked the real-time data of the game.
[Countdown to the end of this game: 3:07:42]
[Number of teams: 143/200]
[Number of survivors: 576]
[You have killed: 17 people]
There were only 13 more people left, and the mission would be completed soon.
Teaming up with these two brothers was indeed much more efficient, but the only drawback was that they liked to touch her.
Enough was enough. This stinky alpha had no sense of propriety. Did he know how to maintain the most basic social distance with others?
"Hey, friends, can we just focus on playing games?" Shichu patted the hand that had been around her waist. "Especially you, Tower."
"Hurry up and let go. You could have caught that guy just now, but you were distracted and let him get away." Before, a guy attacked her with a sneak shot. She was about to dodge, but Atasis appeared out of nowhere. She was about to dodge, but Atasis appeared out of nowhere, grabbed her waist, spun around and dodged, and then held her tightly, causing her to miss the best time to chase him.
Although she was very grateful, she could have dodged it on her own with her A-level agility attribute. With the effort to save her, she could have easily taken down that guy's head as well.
Seeing that Atasis remained indifferent, she couldn't help but pat his hand vigorously again and said with a little urgency: "Let go quickly, you will affect my actions."
"Snap!" A crisp sound.
The back of his hand instantly turned bright red, like a gorgeous flower blooming on his fair skin.
A dark light flashed in Atasis's golden eyes, and he slowly let go of his hand.
He lowered his head and leaned close to her face. He raised his red left hand and placed it in front of Shichu. He looked into her eyes and whispered with a hint of grievance in his tone: "It hurts."
On the tree, Schippers was standing on a branch, folding his arms and looking around. They had just been ambushed by a team of six. Except for one who saw the situation was not good and ran away quickly, the other five were killed.
He couldn't help but sneer inwardly when he heard Atasis's words. Alphas are all thick-skinned and have a high pain threshold. They're also very proud and arrogant, so how could they cry out in pain?
The people who didn't even blink when their arms and legs were broken now cry out in pain when they're "touched".
Yes, in his eyes, that level of behavior was not considered "beating" for an alpha; it was just "touching" at most.
Tsk, it's really frustrating.
Hmm? He suddenly noticed something was happening in the northeast direction.
Beneath the tree, Shichu looked at Atasis suspiciously. She hadn't been well-educated, but don't lie to her. Aren't alphas generally very resilient? Those she'd beaten up before never cried out in pain, and even when stabbed through the heart, they'd only scream, "Wait."
But the particularly eye-catching red color in front of her confirmed to her what she had just done.
Although she knew that the other person was 100% pretending, that face was really beautiful.
She has always had a preference for beautiful things.
Well, just say a few words to get by.
The sunlight fell on Atasis's face, gently caressing his sculpted features. His entire body was coated with a layer of hazy soft light, as if he were a god walking out of a painting.
He stood there quietly, his thin lips tightly pursed, his eyes slightly lowered, his long eyelashes trembling gently, his long silver hair scattered on his shoulders, and his gilded eyes staring at her without blinking, as if he was a little aggrieved.
Hmm, quite... cute. Shichu felt a little itchy and couldn't help but reach out and ruffle the boy's hair, just about to say something.
Suddenly, Schippers jumped down from the tree and landed lightly beside her like a nimble bird.
"I just saw someone fighting in the northeast direction, about two thousand meters away. It seems that there are quite a lot of people, probably about 4 or 5 teams. Do you want to go?" He glanced at Shichu's hand on Atasis's head as if unintentionally.
"Go, why not?" She quickly withdrew her hand and deftly put the newly captured sniper rifle on her back.
Turning around, she saw Atasis still standing there in a daze. She grabbed his left hand and excitedly pulled him over: "Hurry up, let's go kill someone."
Behind a small mound 600 meters away from the target, the three people observed the area ahead where fierce fighting was taking place.
"I counted and there are 28 people left. The two sides are fighting fiercely. It seems that several teams have formed an alliance." Shi Chu said in a low voice.
Schippers glanced at her and said, "Yes, there are 17 people on one side and 11 on the other. A few of them should have been eliminated." If a player dies in the game, they'll be teleported back to the lobby directly, and there'll be no corpse on the ground.
"Should we just go ahead and attack? Or should we work out some tactics?" she asked.
Schippers narrowed his eyes and gave a sly smile: "With us here, there's no need for tactics, just go for it."
There were just too many people, so it might take some time to kill them.
"Xiao Fu, you hide with your gun and snipe them from a distance. The two of us will go straight up and attract fire while you wait for the opportunity to act." Schippers whispered in her ear.
Shichu nodded. She had no intention of confronting so many people head-on. Aside from her high agility, her other physical attributes were far inferior to the alphas, and direct melee combat was disadvantageous to her.
It's better to leave this dangerous task to these two alphas, and she just needs to collect some kills in the back.
"By the way, this is for you. Give me the dagger." She took out the dagger from her back and handed it to Atasis.
At the beginning of the game, you can only carry one cold weapon. Hot weapons will be randomly refreshed on the battlefield and you have to find them yourself.
The gun they had now was taken from the group of people who attacked them. Atasis's long sword was broken in the previous battle, and he now only had a dagger.
It is said that the shorter the distance, the more dangerous it is. Although she believes in their strength, she still has to be careful of any accidents. After all, she still has to rely on them to be in the front.
If danger arises, she'd prioritize her own safety. After all, these two guys who tagged along are expendable, so she'd feel no guilt about it.
"Yes." Atasis took it and took out the dagger from his waist and handed it to her, and finally warned: "Be careful."
Shichu made an OK gesture.
The two of them quickly sneaked up to the two sides who were fighting fiercely.
Now it was time to find a suitable place for sniping. She looked around and found a relatively hidden vantage point.
Shichu set up the sniper rifle, pulled the safety bolt, and observed the battle situation in the distance through the scope.
Schippers and Atasis rushed into the battlefield from different directions, dividing the battlefield and immediately causing chaos on both sides of the fierce battle.
"Fuck, where did they come from?" A burly man shouted while dodging. His teammate had just been ambushed by these two people and suffered a fatal blow.
It was too fast, and there was no way to dodge.
In just a few breaths, three people died in their hands.
Someone soon realized that the two men regarded them as prey.
"Stop fighting, kill these two first!" someone shouted.
The two sides who were still fighting looked at each other, decided to put aside their hatred temporarily, and began to work together to surround and kill the two uninvited guests.
Atasis glanced coldly at the crowd that gathered around him, his right hand tightly gripping the sword, his long hair flying up like a silver snake dancing in the air.
He was seen moving quickly among the crowd, taking a life wherever he passed, as if the god of death had descended.
Schippers on the other side was not to be outdone. With a smile on his face, he casually waved the knight's sword in his hand. His movements were elegant and casual. The sharp blade passed through the enemy's throat, taking his life in an instant.
The two men were as fast as lightning, moving freely on the battlefield, and no one could stop them for a while.
The snow-white sword light reflected on the big man's face. His pupils shrank. Before he could say anything, he fell to the ground with a bang and was teleported back to the square.
In less than a few minutes, eight or nine people died. Seeing that the situation was not good, some people wanted to leave.
In an inconspicuous corner, a gray-haired young man was quietly shifting his position, away from the fierce fighting in the center. He cautiously approached the edge of the battlefield. Seeing that he was about to leave the battlefield, he was delighted and was about to burst out at full speed to leave.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out.
The gray-haired young man's body swayed twice in the air, then fell straight to the ground, splashing a cloud of dust.
"Fuck, there's a sniper!" The sound of the gunshot attracted the attention of many people, and their rationality, which had been lost due to the fierce battle, gradually returned.
Only then did they realize that nearly half of their own personnel had been lost, while those two were not only unharmed but also had a sniper hiding in the dark who could take their lives at any time.
Some people panicked and turned around to leave.
"Bang, bang!" Two gunshots rang out in succession, and two more people in the crowd fell to the ground.
"Damn it, we are doomed today. Come with me and kill them!" There is no sniper on their side, and now the enemy is in the dark while they are in the light.
Our advantage in numbers should give us the upper hand; we just need to kill them before they kill us.
If he didn't run, he would be killed by these two men. If he ran, he would be shot dead by the sniper in the dark.
"Kill them!" A group of people rushed towards Schippers and Atasis.
