Chapter 15 Survival of the Brave

When you leave the newbie dungeon, the system reward will indicate that this unranked dagger is bound to the player and is not easy to lose, but it will take a lot of effort to get it back.

Rong Yi dared not make a mistake, and while running, he retrieved the rope and re-tied it to the dagger.

After running for about ten seconds, the vibrations began to subside.

Rong Yi's heart was pounding, his blood vessels were throbbing, and he could clearly hear the noises in his ears.

Standing on the edge of the abyss, nothing can be seen but darkness. Looking down slightly, all you can see are swirling dust and occasional falling clods of earth.

What weighed heavily on her heart was not fear, but anger.

That person... as long as the dungeon isn't over, she'll find a way to kill him!

Many of those who also escaped the calamity collapsed onto the ground, whether from fright or exhaustion, it was unclear.

Rong Yi carefully put the rope away, not putting it back in his bag, but hanging it directly on his waist for easy access at any time.

Although the outburst just now was very physically demanding, it was better than when I killed the crocodile.

Rong Yi tore open the packaging bag with her mouth. Her arm was still shaking. This time she ate three packs of braised beef and four sausages. The pure meat sausages were as long as her palm and as thick as three finger joints. They tasted delicious and were very satisfying to bite into.

With just over two hours left on the countdown, the distance to the coordinates was less than five kilometers, which would take about an hour to walk there at a brisk pace. However, Rong Yi felt that the collapse would happen again, so he quickly started running.

·

After Rong Yi replenished his energy, he took off running with his long legs. At this time, more and more people were recovering their strength.

As he was pondering how to deal with the man he encountered, he passed someone in front of him. Suddenly, a chill ran through him from behind, and Rong Yi instinctively turned around to avoid him.

The person she had just stepped over had a ferocious expression on his face. "Kill you, kill you, then I'll be the one who survives."

She seemed quite shocked, but she could guess that only the top 1,000 could survive, and that she had surpassed him, causing the taut string to snap.

But Rong Yi had no obligation to understand him, and was very interested in the butterfly knife in his hand.

This man was all bark and no bite. Although he was still running, he could be pushed down with a single push. Rong Yi successfully snatched his weapon, though it was unclear whether it was a bound weapon.

The butterfly knife's blade exudes a cold, sharp feel, as if it were forged from ice. The handle seems to be covered in a special leather, making it extremely comfortable to hold.

This was the first time she had ever seen a Tier 1 weapon. The description said it had a freezing effect, but she didn't know how effective it was in actual combat.

However, the disputes she encountered were the least serious during her journey. Rong Yi had been running for less than ten minutes when she saw someone ahead firing a gun. When she came into view, the gun was pointed at her.

Rong Yi's thoughts moved with lightning speed. His right hand moved in response to his thoughts, and he threw the butterfly knife he had just seized, which struck the man's throat.

The rioters have fallen, but many injured people lie around them.

Suddenly, my lower back was pressed against something. "Give me your backpack," a rough, hoarse voice said.

Rong Yi's brow furrowed with impatience. To be honest, she just wanted to get to the coordinates as quickly as possible. Her right hand moved like a blur as she grabbed the muzzle of the gun pressed against her waist and shifted to the side.

The man holding the gun was pale and covered in blood. Rong Yi used a little force to snatch the gun from his hand.

Give me your backpack.

The words were returned to him, and the man swallowed hard before obediently taking off his backpack.

Rong Yi calmly took the backpack, his eyes fixed on the ring on the man's left middle finger. "I've changed my mind. I don't want the backpack, but I'll take the ring."

This time the man wasn't so decisive; he unconsciously clenched his hand, trying to block the ring, but it was all in vain.

Rong Yi frowned slightly, beckoned with his finger, and the man had no choice but to take off the ring and hand it over.

That was his entire fortune! What was he thinking, robbing this woman?

The storage ring looks very ordinary, without any fancy decorations, just a simple circle.

Rong Yi, carrying the gun, examined the stolen ring back and forth. Regardless, she had saved 50 points.

The man behind him, whose robbery attempt had failed, was on the verge of tears. However, he felt that this outcome was already quite good. If the robber had been more ruthless, he would have been dead, let alone left with a backpack.

·

The storage ring has a smaller capacity than the storage backpack, but it keeps food fresh. Rong Yi put all the food in it as soon as he got it. Although the food was vacuum-packed, it doesn't mean it's permanently sealed.

The ring automatically adjusts its tightness when slipped on, and inside the ring, besides the food she threw in, there were also things stored by the original owner.

Upon closer inspection, there were six vials of wound-healing syringes, two landmines (which could be automatically deployed), eighty boxes of bullets, a throwing machine, a large medical kit, a pair of speed shoes, a complete giant snake carcass, six complete crocodiles, two complete pelts of an unknown animal, 36 spiders she had encountered earlier, and the rest were all food, including fried rice, cooked noodle soup, wontons, dumplings, lamb chops, steaks, etc., with cooked white rice piled in the corner.

This is quite a large sum of money. However, the more Rong Yi looked at the dismembered giant snake corpse, the less she thought it was something that person could have done. She suspected that the ring might have been obtained from somewhere by that person.

Rong Yi tried to avoid the crowd. At this time, in order to compete for the top 1,000, the players were already fighting each other, with ambushes, shootings, robberies and other attacks happening one after another.

What comforted her was that the storage ring was really convenient; the food stored inside was all cooked and steaming hot. She took it out and ate a bowl of beef noodles while there weren't many people around. It was fragrant, spicy, and delicious, which lifted her spirits.

After jogging for about half an hour, she arrived at the coordinates indicated by the navigation.

Seeing the scene before him, Rong Yi could only curse, "Damn it!" After cursing, he quickly hid behind a tree, where a large-scale gunfight was taking place.

The location is perched high on a cliff more than 20 meters high, and one must climb up to reach it. At this moment, the cliff face is already in disarray, and there is no one at the top yet.

Many people use throwing devices, and the cliff face is covered with ropes. People are frequently cut off and fall, and some are even shot.

The destination is within reach, but due to the limited number of survivors, eliminating competitors is everyone's top priority.

There weren't many people who engaged in close combat; most were shooting at each other with guns, or, like the person she had encountered before, indiscriminately firing indiscriminately.

Rong Yi put away her dagger. Luckily, she had bullets in her storage ring. She quickly loaded the bullets from behind a tree. Just as she finished, a bullet grazed the tree stump. She didn't know if it had seen her or if it had been fired unintentionally.

Taking a deep breath, Rong Yi stepped out from behind the tree stump with his gun, scanned the area, and pulled the trigger. Each bullet accurately hit the target's calf.

It felt like we were back in the muddy pond, only the shooting targets had changed from crocodiles to people.

With each pull of the trigger, someone screamed and clutched their legs. Such efficiency naturally attracted attention, and suddenly many gun barrels were pointed at her.

Rong Yi hid behind the tree again. The gunshots continued, but fortunately the tree trunks were thick enough to hold him off for a while.

After a burst of gunfire, the shooting stopped, and she took the opportunity to shout, "Are you sure you want to use up all your bullets to decide how many people to send? I didn't kill anyone, I only injured their legs, which doesn't even affect their ability to climb to the coordinates."
