The group vanished from the pontoon bridge in an instant, but thankfully they were separated. We turned to look at Kaka and Yuan Rui on the rooftop, and in that instant, we saw fire and ice spikes hurtling toward us. Ji Lin'an reached out and pulled us all into the lake. A large crater instantly appeared on the ground where our invisibility shields were, and Kaka and Yuan Rui continued to fire fire and ice spikes at us.
The two stopped attacking the next second. Kaka rolled down from the roof. Yuan Rui immediately jumped off the roof and towards us. Using our shield, Yuan Rui jumped into the barrier in the middle of the lake.
The field was now completely empty. As the invisibility shield's duration was approaching, Ji Lin'an signaled for us to go ashore first. The invisibility shield disappeared the moment we reached the shore.
Song Yi and the others rushed over, and I then saw that Ji Lin'an and I had been hit by several ice spikes. Xiao Dian was the least injured; he was short and standing behind us, so he only had a small scratch on his cheek.
I looked at Kaka lying on the ground, blood streaming from his neck, his body still twitching uncontrollably, his eyes glaring fiercely at us.
Just as we were about to go forward to check, we heard a burst of gunfire behind us. We immediately turned around and saw An Xin and Wei Bin fall to the ground in front of us. Ji Lin'an and Zhang Funan instinctively reached out to catch them. The gunfire from the other side continued. I quickly activated the protective shield to cover everyone. Ji Lin'an released An Xin and fired a burst of bullets at the two on the other side of the pontoon bridge, but all of them were blocked by their shields. Song Yi immediately controlled the throwing axe into the air, and Chen Hu activated the fire-infused axe. Song Yi immediately manipulated the axe to fly towards the two's protective shields. The shields immediately fell down, and Ji Lin'an fired suddenly after the shields fell. The two fell to the ground instantly, their eyes filled with resentment, and they breathed their last moments later.
We immediately checked on An Xin and Wei Bin's injuries. Song Yi had already rushed to Wei Bin's side, but Wei Bin was already dead; the bullet had hit him squarely in the forehead. An Xin had been shot several times in the chest, but was still alive. I immediately used up my medical space usage to send An Xin into the space, but the next second An Xin was ejected from the space, and the system showed that An Xin had no vital signs.
Looking at the two people in front of me, I felt a sense of suffocation and couldn't say a word. Song Yi's face was covered in tears, but she didn't utter a sound. She just knelt there quietly, hugging Wei Bin. Everyone else stared at Song Yi without saying a word.
A moment later, I squatted down, reached out and touched Song Yi's shoulder, and said softly, "Song Yi, shall we go inside? The shield only lasts a few minutes."
Song Yi remained expressionless, yet tears still streamed down her face. I reached out to try and pull her up, but she broke free. A loud thud drew our attention again. I turned and was shocked to see Xiao Dian sitting on the ground, gasping for breath. I then noticed that Xiao Dian had also been shot in the chest, his clothes soaked with blood. I immediately climbed onto Xiao Dian and carried him into the medical space. I stood there, holding my breath, and after a moment, seeing that Xiao Dian hadn't been ejected from the space, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Yi closed her eyes and finally burst into tears. The rest of us stood there quietly watching her until the protective shield fell. Ji Lin'an took out his phone to exchange for another shield, but Song Yi suddenly stood up and said coldly, "They only have five people left. The person inside should be awake by now. Let's take care of him first. The rest should be rushing back to the safe house by now. If we press our advantage, we will surely wipe them out in one fell swoop."
Seeing Song Yi so calm made us feel a little uncomfortable. Zhang Funan took the lead and walked into the house. Ji Linan ran a few steps to grab Zhang Funan, then activated the shield he had just exchanged and waved to us: "Let's advance and retreat together."
Song Yi wiped away her tears and walked towards Ji Lin'an. Chen Hu was still a little confused, but he followed us into the house.
The man had regained consciousness, but perhaps he had heard the gunshots outside and dared not make a move. He was now huddled in a corner of the room, but his expression was unusually calm.
Song Yi walked up to the man, and before he could even react in fear, she stepped forward and, without a word, raised her dagger and slashed his carotid artery. The man immediately clutched his bleeding neck. Song Yi didn't look at him again and turned to leave the room.
In order to keep Song Yi from leaving the shield, we could only walk a few steps faster to catch up with her. When we got to the door, we saw Kaka, who had already died, staring ferociously at the direction of the barrier in the lake.
Song Yi jumped into the water quickly, and we followed. When we reached the barrier entrance, Song Yi hesitated for a moment. Ji Lin'an reached out and pulled Song Yi up, and then swam into the barrier entrance first.
We immediately followed Ji Lin'an and entered the barrier. We found that the scene was exactly the same as when we entered the barrier, except that we were on the floating bridge. Ji Lin'an quickly climbed ashore by pushing off the side of the floating bridge and then reached out to pull us onto the floating bridge one by one.
Song Yi walked straight into the safe house. Ji Lin'an tried to stop her, but Song Yi seemed to know that Ji Lin'an would stop her, so she quickly took a few steps to distance herself from us and entered the safe house.
We searched the entire safe house but found it empty. There were only water stains with footprints on the ground, which should have been Zhang Ziqing's footprints. However, the footprints were two-way, indicating that he had come in but then left, perhaps because he felt it was unsafe for him to return to the safe house alone.
Song Yi plopped down on the sofa: "They're either dead or wounded. I saw that the two survivors were injured. Only two of them are still capable of fighting. We can handle them. Let's wait for them here. I don't believe they won't go back to the safe house."
Looking to the side, Zhang Funan frowned deeply, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and said, "If they want to go back to the safe house, we should go back too. We can't just stay here and not go back ourselves just to block them."
Song Yi glanced coldly at Zhang Funan: "What's there to be afraid of? I've never seen those two who just fired before. They're obviously not from their team. They must be one of the guys who escaped in the Misty Forest that day and the other who was already scattered outside. So, there are only a few of us left on the field. It's either us or them who die. We've already reached the final round, and you're still being timid."
Zhang Funan wanted to argue, but he held back after a quick glance. We only had 6 people left, and Zhu Chen and his team had 4. There were only 10 of us left on the field. This made me feel a little sad. The fewer people there were, the more likely it was that my teammates and the people around me could turn into enemies at any time.
We waited in Zhu Chen's safe house until the barrier was about to close, but no one came back. Ji Lin'an stood up and said, "Song Yi, let's go back. Xiao Dian might be coming out soon. Let's go back and rest and adjust our condition today."
As soon as Ji Lin'an spoke, Song Yi's eyes softened slightly. Perhaps thinking of Xiao Dian, she nodded and got up. We rushed into the safe house before the barrier closed, but the barrier still hadn't closed by the closing time. I got up and walked to the door, where I saw the man lying on the ground not far away. He was the one who had just used his invisibility shield to escape. Seeing the bloodstains on his chest and the bloodstains on the ground, I guessed that he had just been shot and used his skill to hide there. After seeing us leave, he tried to escape, but he was too late and died.
