Zhou Lin - Chapter 199 Born to Kill (Part 2)

Before I knew it, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.

Of course, everyone in the jungle didn’t know the specific time, so they could only make a rough guess.

In the past two hours, Yan Wushang found three airdrop boxes. The first box contained an ax and a machete, the second box contained a barrel full of olive oil, and the third box contained an ax and a machete. The box is empty, and judging by its size, you can tell it is used to transport polar bears.

It was a pity that Yan Wushang did not encounter the bear. After all, when he came to the box, it had been a long time since the airdrop, and the bear must have gone far. As for the weapons and supplies, Yan Wushang only took them. He bought a machete to clear the way, but he didn’t take the ax or olive oil – he would pass by on the way back anyway, so it would be the same if he took them again.

He just moved forward steadily at his own pace, neither too fast nor too slowly. He was always alert to his surroundings and prepared to deal with any sudden dangers.

After a while, danger… indeed came to the door.

Hey! Yan Wushang, is that you? Daniel’s voice suddenly came from a few meters behind Yan Wushang.

When Yan Wushang heard this, he calmly stopped and turned around.

In fact, he had heard the sound of the other party approaching a few minutes ago; even if Daniel was very skilled, it would be difficult to catch up and get close to Yan Wushang silently in the jungle…

It’s really you. At this moment, Daniel was standing only about two meters away from Yan Wushang. His left hand touched his head with a puzzled expression on his face, and in his right hand… Holding an axe.

Why are you behind me? In fact, Yan Wushang was asking the question knowingly, but before the opponent showed his trump card, he decided to play along, Should we go in different directions?

Yeah, I’m confused too. Daniel said, I remember you were walking west, and Uncle He and I were walking north. How come we met you while walking?

That’s weird… Yan Wushang continued calmly, Even if it’s not a straight line, you guys aren’t going that far, right? And… Speaking of Uncle He, where are the others?

Ah? When Daniel asked him this question, he immediately looked back, Eh? Where is the person? He was behind me just now, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye?

He still pretended to be the same, as if what he said was the truth.

I’m afraid he was walking slowly and was left behind by you. Yan Wushang continued, But it doesn’t matter. There are marks I left along the way. He should be able to find us by following the marks. We can stay where we are. Rest and wait for him.”

Hmm… That makes sense. Daniel nodded, but just a second after he said the word reason, his eyes suddenly opened wide, he raised his left hand and pointed behind Yan Wushang and exclaimed, Be careful!

Before the cry was finished, Yan Wushang turned his head and looked back.

It was at the moment when Yan Wushang turned his head that Daniel suddenly rose up and struck with his axe. The ax blade went straight towards Yan Wushang’s Tianling Cap.

when–

Although Yan Wushang’s eyes did not fall on Daniel, he still raised the machete at that critical moment and accurately blocked the falling ax above his head.

After blocking the blow, he slowly turned his face back, looked at Daniel again, and said in a calm tone: Thank you for reminding me.

Ha… Daniel sneered. The hand holding the ax was still exerting force, but his lower body had already changed the supporting foot, and he kicked his leg.

Seeing this, Yan Wushang calmly picked up his left foot, struck first, and used the sole of his foot to meet the opponent’s fierce kick. After receiving the attack, he used the opponent’s strength to jump back and escape from the suppression.

Not bad, it’s better than I thought. When Daniel saw this, he wasn’t too surprised. He just smiled and said, ‘Postman’ is well-deserved.

Knowing my nickname means you are also a Taoist, right? Yan Wushang heard this and immediately asked in turn.

That’s true, it’s just that I’m not as famous as you. As Daniel said, his eyes moved slightly and wandered, trying to find out Yan Wushang’s flaws, When I heard your name for the first time at noon yesterday, I thought It sounds familiar, and you claimed to be a mercenary… This made me even more concerned. Unfortunately, you gave your real name instead of your nickname, so I didn’t remember who you were for a while, plus I didn’t know the situation in this place. I was also confused, so I didn’t act rashly. It wasn’t until evening, when I saw you carrying back a wild boar and knowing clearly that you were an esper, that I suddenly remembered… you are the ‘postman’.”

Yan Wushang replied: Do I have any grudge against you? You went out of your way to chase me in a circle today and want to kill me?

Hehehe… Daniel let out a sick laugh, Why do I have to kill people out of hatred? Can’t it be for some other reason?

Other reasons? Yan Wushang repeated those four words, and then asked in a questioning tone, Money and women?

Daniel’s smile suddenly disappeared again: Mercenaries are just mercenaries, it’s so vulgar…

Why is that? I really want to ask for advice. Yan Wushang asked again.

It’s because of fear. Daniel paused and then said, Because your behavior in the past two days makes me feel scared.

Why do you say this? Yan Wushang asked again.

Daniel licked his lips and responded: In this small group, I can generally see through the weight of other people, but you are the only one…even if I know your identity, I still dare to feel uneasy; All your words and deeds make me vaguely feel that you know some secrets that I don’t know. The way you look at me and other people, as well as your attitude towards us… all make me feel very uncomfortable. .

Whether it’s biological instinct or intuition… I feel that your existence poses a huge threat and pressure to me. I have to find a way to make myself more comfortable, and killing you… is the most direct way.

When he finished speaking, a ferocious look appeared on his face unconsciously, and his eyes were filled with a strong desire, making him look like a pervert.

Ah… I understand you. Unexpectedly, Yan Wushang replied in a weak tone, When I first came to this place, I had the same feeling as you, and I also encountered that kind of lethargy. I feel fearful of people.”

What? After a few seconds, Daniel seemed to infer something from these words, and he murmured, Did you…

Yes, this is not the first time I have experienced this kind of ‘survival game’. Yan Wushang said, Of course you are not the first people I have met.

So you’re a veteran… Daniel’s mind was running rapidly as he answered.

After getting this information, he immediately wanted to understand many things, such as the stubble on Yan Wushang’s chin that looked like it had been shaved with a knife, and his messy hair; The state of being able to remain calm in any situation… These are all proof that Yan Wushang has survived in the jungle for a long time and has experience in various situations.

I am the only veteran here. Yan Wushang continued, Because the rule of this game is – it will end only when there is only the last person left alive. So every time, I am the only one left. one person.

Every time? Daniel muttered thoughtfully, and then asked, How many times have you played?

I can’t remember clearly. Yan Wushang replied, I only know that after every ‘end’, I would lose consciousness for unknown reasons, and then when I woke up, seven more times would appear in front of me. I am a new person, and all the supplies I accumulated in the last ‘game’ will disappear, and the only thing left is a set of clean clothes.

Have you never tried to escape from this place before the end? Daniel asked again.

Of course I have tried. Yan Wushang said, I have also tried to show off my cards with others from the beginning, share all the information, and sincerely ask them to fight side by side with me, live together, and find ways to escape. Method. When he said this, there was a trace of helplessness and vicissitudes in his eyes, The longest time in my memory, I led a team of people to persist for a whole month; by the thirtieth day, we still had Three people, and they have walked at least hundreds of kilometers in the same direction, but the surrounding scenery remains unchanged. Climbing to the top of the forest cover and looking into the distance, there is still endless jungle on all sides…

Every day at noon, the airdrops will still come on time, and they will still be evenly distributed in all directions around us; the most terrifying thing is that no matter how far we go, we will still encounter animals or monsters that were dropped on a previous day… …It’s like we are always in the same area and never stray far away.

And those airdropped materials also have certain rules. Each airdrop contains monsters, weapons, auxiliary tools and consumables. The total number of these types of things is always 100, and the quantity of each type is usually Multiples of 5, more or less depends on luck.

Since the airdrops dropped the day before will not disappear, there is definitely enough food and water. The key lies in the monsters…

The monsters dropped every day, like other materials, will not disappear out of thin air, and the monsters dropped every day will be stronger than the ones dropped the day before. You can imagine what kind of hell this place will become in a few dozen days…

When he said this, Daniel basically thought about how the team led by Yan Wushang was wiped out before: I understand… on the thirtieth day, instead of continuing to face this jungle, your two teammates They would rather choose to kill their companions and reset the game, because they think that is easier, and even if they fail, it will not be more painful than dying at the hands of a monster.

That’s it. Yan Wushang continued, Therefore, after several long and painful attempts, I could only give up the idea of ​​​​escape, and began to reincarnate in the game again and again, and slowly got used to it. life.

No wonder you have that attitude towards others. Daniel said, Because you think that everyone else will die soon, so there is no need to have close friendships, right?

Yes. Yan Wushang said.

Hmph… Daniel sneered, According to you, I am also a dying person?

Sooner or later, I’m not in a hurry to kill you anyway. Yan Wushang shrugged, You should also be able to guess that the situation is relatively stable in the first few days after each ‘reset’. There’s not a lot of pressure on monsters either, so generally I wouldn’t consider actively reducing the number of members in the team in the first five days.”

You sound very confident, Daniel said. Have you never thought that you would be killed?

Yes, I never thought I would be killed. Yan Wushang admitted in a very casual tone.

Are you so sure…that you won’t die in my hands? Daniel asked, Or is it that all those things just now were all made up by you and were your tactic to delay the attack…

You don’t believe it? Yan Wushang raised his eyebrows and said, Okay, I understand if you don’t believe it. It’s hard for someone like you to accept the reality that you don’t have much time left.

Ha… Daniel sneered again, Assuming what you said is true… then this ‘game’ is simply tailor-made for me. As he spoke, he took another step forward and approached, For you, this place may be purgatory and reincarnation, but for me, life under these rules is paradise! This was obviously Daniel’s true words, and his face was distorted with excitement, As long as If I replace you and become the only ‘veteran’ here, I can live a life where I can kill whoever I want, do whoever I want, and don’t have to worry about being held accountable… After every game reset, There will be seven fresh living people for me to play with. After a few days, I will kill them all and replace them with another batch… Hahaha… Who would run away if they could live such a life?

Don’t you think there is still some distance between you and this kind of life? Yan Wushang continued.

Yes, isn’t it you… Daniel said, So can you…please die quickly?

Before he finished speaking, Daniel had already activated his own power – Zhi of the Dead Kingdom.

This ability can only be used on humans, and can only be effective once on the same person. The activation of this ability does not require any cost or preparation. It can be cast with a single thought. The range of the spell is about a radius of five meters; hit. A person with this ability will die immediately when the ability takes effect, and will be resurrected one minute later.

There is no doubt that in a one-on-one situation with no interference from others, Zhi of the Dead Kingdom is nearly invincible.

The state of death is different from any situation such as frozen, fixed, bound by energy, etc. In the death state, the ability and energy of the esper, whether active or Those of a passive nature will disappear completely, and their thinking will stop… In other words, the subject of the spell will be just an ordinary dead corpse for that minute.

Daniel only needs to cut off the opponent’s head within one minute before the opponent is resurrected, and then the opponent will be resurrected with the body and head separated. The result is nothing more than death again within ten seconds.

Of course, not everyone is bound to die in the face of this ability…

For example, mutants, their abilities are derived from DNA, so even if some mutants die, their bodies will still retain the ability to harden, liquefy and even self-heal; and some mutants, for example, are decapitated. People with self-healing ability who can survive even in a state of death will not die even if their heads are in different places after resurrection; there are also special individuals like Sakaki who have the law of cause and effect. His ability can cast Death Kingdom on the opponent Zhi moment causes some kind of abnormality, causing the other party’s current or subsequent actions to fail or be fruitless.

But now, Yan Wushang was indeed defeated by the Zhi of the Dead Country.

In the minute before his resurrection, Daniel used the strength and speed of his powerful superpower to do the following things:

One, cut off Yan Wushang’s head and limbs.

Second, crush Yan Wushang’s skull and the brain inside.

Third, quickly cut Yan Wushang’s limbs into sections.

Fourth, use the remaining time to chop Yan Wushang’s torso into as many pieces as possible.

A minute later, Yan Wushang…or rather the pile of things on the ground came to life. However, whether he was resurrected or not at this moment, it looked like just pieces of meat on the ground. There was no difference.

Obviously, Daniel has been prepared for the possibility that the opponent has the ability to heal himself, and he definitely has experience in dealing with people with such abilities.

Ha… Looking at the pool of masterpieces on the ground, Daniel smiled, put the ax on his shoulder, turned around and left.

He didn’t cover up the scene because there was too much blood on him and he couldn’t cover it up. Moreover, he had already planned to kill everyone when he returned to the camp and start playing the next round directly.

According to Daniel’s idea, he would have to play at least two or three rounds quickly first to get over the killing addiction that he had controlled for many years before he would consider slowing down.
