"Kid, just you wait!"
The Warrior Man glanced at the Archer beside him, who had already started preparing to make fire by friction.
He immediately began to talk tough as well.
Zhou Yingting heard this and looked around, then suddenly said, "I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait."
"What, are you admitting defeat?"
Upon hearing this, the Warrior Man sneered.
He had made up his mind: even if Zhou Yingting was alone inside, he wouldn’t let him off easily even if he opened the door to surrender.
Anyway, there’s already a safe house, and there’s no need to keep the Architect around.
Zhou Yingting’s gaze was fixed on the mini-map at the moment.
He had just noticed that the mini-map already had several red dots, hovering for a while, and this location doesn’t seem too far from here.
Based on the commotion stirred by these two earlier, Zhou Yingting suspected that the team outside might have attracted someone’s attention. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel•fire.net
If they had drawn others’ attention, those outside would be in big trouble.
After all, there were not just one or two red dots, but seven!
This indicates that at least two teams outside have noticed the situation here.
Just as Zhou Yingting got this idea, suddenly there was a sound piercing through the air from afar.
This signal-like sound was almost immediately followed by a continuous series of similar sounds.
The warrior outside was startled upon hearing this noise, instinctively grabbing his shield to defend.
The Warrior Man felt a sudden numbness in his arm, then saw two arrows suddenly embedded in his shield.
The Warrior Man was stunned, puzzled why there were two arrows aimed at him.
Logically, there are only two archers per team, right?
Could it be, two teams are simultaneously targeting his squad?
Thinking this, his expression changed as he quickly glanced at his teammates.
Having been exposed and under enemy fire, it was wise to withdraw.
But as he looked over, the next moment he saw his two teammates turning into white light and vanishing.
Seeing this, the Warrior Man cursed out loud, quickly turned around to flee.
Both teammates were eliminated; left alone, he wouldn’t have another chance to run if he didn’t act now.
His intention to run was thwarted as the other teams refused to let him go so easily.
More sounds of arrows slicing through the air continued to rise.
Realizing others were hunting his squad, yet undeterred, they continued their archery.
It seemed they were competing to see who would claim the kill.
Arrow after arrow rained down upon the Warrior Man.
Within moments, his shield turned bristly with arrows.
As the final arrow pierced through, bursting with dense purple mist, the Warrior Man was engulfed.
Inhaling the mist, he fell and turned into white light.
One team exposed, ambushed by multiple archers, ultimately defeated right there.
Some equipment dropped but no one dared claim it.
This spot had become open ground, seemingly attracting much attention.
"How did you get eliminated too!"
Under the omniscient perspective, watching their last team member sent off, the Medical Soldier and Archer were deeply anxious.
This way, they wouldn’t make it to the top three, risking Life Quota deduction!
"What could I do, the last arrow came with poison!"
The Warrior Man replied with frustration, his mood irritable.
"What about you two?"
The Warrior Man eyed them critically.
He felt it was too fast for them to fall.
"What could we do? We aren’t warriors; an arrow shot is fatal."
The Archer was crestfallen; having found a Level 3 Bow, barely used before eliminated.
The Warrior Man eyed the duo, then the safe house below, feeling more frustrated.
He realized their squad fell due to this fiasco.
They wasted too much time at the safe house, caused too much uproar.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have drawn others’ attention.
Now, finally entering the safe zone, yet eliminated .
"I refuse to believe your safe house could protect you until the end!"
With an omniscient view, the Warrior Man clearly saw Zhou Yingting alone inside.
Reflecting on the unraveling of events leading to his squad’s wipeout, he seethed with resentment towards Zhou Yingting.
It’s just a safe house, he reasons Zhou Yingting couldn’t survive alone till the end.
As he pondered, suddenly his eyes shifted slightly.
Looking up, he saw a white expanse surging from afar.
Those entering from outside the safe zone knew the blizzard’s severity.
Remaining too long exposed indeed leads to freezing to death!
Extended exposure renders weapon use futile.
Seems the blizzard might invade the safe zone.
This shrinks safekeeping areas, forcing battles within confined space.
With an omniscient view, he saw clearly who’s around.
Given such limited space, fights are inevitable.
Yet unknown if the safe house could resist the blizzard.
A house offers more protection, better than staying outside.
While fixating on the safe house, upon noticing Zhou Yingting’s actions, they paused.
He tossed pinewood into the fireplace, sparking flame.
The flame started small, but with fat fueling it grew; swaying and captivating.
"Damn! What kind of competition is this, I want to report him for cheating!"
At this moment, the trio felt overwhelmed.
A Level 3 Safe House offering warmth; who could endure beyond this?
Moreover, such extravagant options suggest whoever chooses this profession could win.
Except for the one they eliminated.
