Chapter 17 Lin Yao Saves Me
He Li and Cheng Boyan came over carrying several bags of milk, and asked as they handed them out, "Brother Yao, was that Omega next to you? He's really good-looking."
Xie Xingchen, with a milk carton dangling from his mouth, struck a smoking pose: "Your brother Yao's suitor."
"Wow, really?" He Li nudged him with his elbow. "This one's good. Think about it. She's so pretty, and her skin is so fair. She's a beautiful sight among a bunch of big, burly Alphas."
Lin Yao coughed lightly and turned his head to look at Xie Xingchen's expression.
His features are naturally angular, with deep-set eyes. When he's not smiling, he exudes a kind of gloomy, suave air, like he does now.
He exuded an aura of murderous intent.
Lin Yao thought to himself, "I really like Jiang Qiran." He put himself in Jiang Qiran's shoes and realized that it was a bit pitiful for the young master, a proud son of heaven, to be hurt like this by the person he liked.
Considering that he had helped him a lot these past two days, Lin Yao offered the greatest kindness he could: "I won't snipe you before the final circle."
Xie Xingchen sneered: "Then I really thank you for your pity."
Lin Yao: "......"
What kind of attitude is that? He can't even be a little bit kind. I want to snipe him right now.
The two looked up and met each other's eyes in silence.
"The atmosphere is strange." Cheng Boyan keenly sensed something was amiss.
While gulping down her milk, He Li observed the expressions of the two men and felt that the scene was familiar: "They were like this in high school too. When they bumped into each other in the hallway, it was like they wanted to stab each other in the back. It's the same thing, nothing strange about it."
"Is it that exaggerated?" Cheng Boyan was shocked. "Then as the dormitory head, I'll have one more thing to do every morning from now on."
"What?"
Cheng Boyan said with great distress, "Count them to see if there is an extra corpse."
He Li: "Brother, that joke is really lame."
The overhead loudspeaker began broadcasting: "The freshman competition will begin in ten minutes. Non-participating students, please proceed to the spectator area immediately. Participating students, please change into your combat uniforms and collect the necessary military equipment."
"The combat zone for this competition extends from the playground to the entire misty forest behind the mountain. During this time, there will be mech interference and various monsters. Contestants can use special firearms to snipe each other, and the last one standing will win. Of course, we will do our best to ensure everyone's safety. If anyone is injured during the process, there will be a first aid team and helicopters to provide support. Thank you."
After he finished speaking, several giant mechs were piloted down from the sky and came into view.
They demonstrated by firing lasers in the same direction, instantly piercing through the targeted objects, showcasing their destructive power.
"Playing this big?" He Li clutched the bulletproof vest he had changed into, trembling. "I'm just a student who got into the top thirty by luck. Mom, I want to go home."
Holding his sniper rifle, Lin Yao quickly observed the characteristics of the mechs while joking, "If you're really scared, I'll eliminate you with one shot, how about that?"
"Brother, you're so cold-hearted." He Li said, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Didn't you want to go home?" Lin Yao said calmly. "I'll give you a ride."
Xie Xingchen ran his fingers back and forth over the gun barrel. Fine, he treated his brothers like this too. This coldness was Lin Yao's personal characteristic. He felt better.
Several gunshots rang out, fireworks lit up the sky, and the competition began.
The spectators stared at the big screen as the camera panned across the face of each participant, displaying their student ID and name to enhance their sense of participation.
The camera seemed to have a particular fondness for handsome men, lingering over Lin Yao's position for an extra two minutes.
[Ahhh, this face is so cool, and that beautiful mole on the tip of his nose is absolutely gorgeous! I love this one!]
[I've never seen this handsome guy before. Brother, how come your arm is injured before the competition even starts?]
[Let's have a joint event between the Medical School and the Comprehensive Warfare Institute tomorrow. It's a dream come true for 90,000 Omegas!]
When Xie Xingchen was next to her, there was another commotion and screams.
[Such divine beauty, and there are two of them this year?]
They're bitter rivals; they've always been at odds. This year's competition is going to be exciting!
[Huh? So they knew each other before? What kind of mortal enemy fighting literature is this? According to the plot of the novel, after they fight, they should have done it, hehehe]
...
In the center of the arena, the atmosphere was clearly not so relaxed. The mechs had already been activated, serving as the first line of defense at the entrance to the Misty Forest.
The rays intertwined, creating a maze with nowhere to step, causing immense suffering to everyone.
They were afraid of being the first to be eliminated, which would be too embarrassing, and they were also afraid of getting injured during the fights, and losing their lives by accident, which would be even more of a loss.
He Li carefully held the gun, struggling to avoid the beams of light as he moved towards the entrance, when he suddenly felt a gust of wind.
When they looked up again, the two figures, like two streaks of light, rushed towards the entrance, leaving only afterimages.
Wow, that's fast.
He Li sighed, watching the two figures leap, dodge, and bound in the same way, their movements as swift as swords drawn from their sheaths.
"Holy crap, are those two even human?" Cheng Boyan rushed over. "Quick, quick, those two have attracted the siege of six mechs. Let's grab the scraps and run!"
These words reminded the hesitant crowd, who all rushed desperately toward the entrance.
"After entering the Misty Forest, you can activate the mutual sniping mode. Please note that sniping different locations will result in different levels of health reduction. When your health reaches zero, you will be eliminated."
The broadcast began, "Walkie-talkies can be tuned to public channels, forming alliances or openly revealing the location of others. Please deeply understand the cruelty of war, so that you can cherish peace even more."
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and a thick fog rolled in.
Mechs attack at close range, while beasts roar in the distance, creating a scene reminiscent of a real, desolate planetary battlefield.
Similar gunshots rang out in quick succession.
"Student ID 086, Song Zirui, health is less than 10%, about to be eliminated."
"Student ID 086 Song Zirui, killed by Duan Zheng."
"Student ID 037 Qiu Zihao, killed by Lin Yao."
"Student ID 015 Qin Haoxuan, killed by Lin Yao."
"Student ID 032 Zhang Yuxuan, killed by Xie Xingchen."
"Student ID 088 Li Zixuan, killed by Xie Xingchen."
......
The dense broadcasts resounded overhead, as if a rampaging demon was wreaking havoc at that moment.
It was truly a treat to watch from the stands.
Looking at the sniper kill logs, are you guys cheating?
"They've only been in there for ten minutes, and Lin Yao has 13 kills, Xie Xingchen has 12, and Duan Zheng has 8. Are they all fucking crazy?"
"There's no need for wild beasts at all; these three can clean up the battlefield directly."
"It makes the other dozens of freshmen seem like they're not in the same competition as them, it's hilarious."
...
Lin Yao had already reached the halfway point of the mountain, where the fog had thickened, making it almost impossible to discern the path ahead.
Occasionally, you can see a pair of scarlet eyes.
"Ah!!!" He Li's voice came through the walkie-talkie, his instinctive cry for help, "Lin Yao, save me!!"
The competition is a one-on-one battle, but in order to survive to the end, some participants will choose to form alliances in the early stages and move forward together.
Lin Yao rushed towards the coordinates, and when he arrived, He Li was already hanging in the air, being bitten by the beast.
Just like last night in the Colosseum, he fought desperately with the trapped beast.
He raised his gun and aimed it at his heart, just like the silenced gun from last night, a precise sniper shot. The beast staggered, tearing at He Li's bulletproof vest.
"Ugh..." He Li rolled over, trying to struggle and escape from the mouthparts, but his shoulder was bitten and he couldn't move.
Lin Yao grabbed the enormous tentacles, flipped over, and kicked the beast's head vertically. He then clapped his arms around its jaw, twisted his body, and flipped it straight to the ground.
After a tremendous noise, the beast collapsed, the smoke dissipated, and its pair of scarlet eyes slowly closed, becoming still.
The boy who was massacring looked down from above, his shoulder soaked with blood from the gauze.
He Li's mouth dropped open: "Awesome."
"No, did he just kill one with his bare hands like that?"
"Not barehanded, but barefoot, that's fucking terrifying."
Two contestants who had been watching the whole thing were sneaking around, whispering to each other, when one of them shot them dead.
"Student ID 089 Zhang Junjie, killed by Lin Yao."
"Student ID 077 Chen Junhao, killed by Lin Yao."
Xie Xingchen sat in the tree, occupying a prime vantage point to watch the entire battle unfold. As he carefully rescued He Li, he exclaimed, "I wish I could receive such treatment as being rescued by a beauty."
A freshman passing by looked up in bewilderment: ? ? ?
what would you like?
"Lin Yao, save me."
Xie Xingchen looked away, pulled the trigger to eliminate the passing person, and pressed the intercom button.
The voice was low, without a trace of urgency, but upon closer listening, it seemed to carry a hint of laughter.
"Student ID 043 Zhang Zirui, killed by Xie Xingchen."
The unlucky guy who got sniped and taken down while just passing by: ? ? ?
Who the hell are you insulting?
"Lin Yao, someone wants to kill me. I'm really going to die."
Xie Xingchen, with his long legs slightly bent, casually stood on a tree, holding a walkie-talkie as if afraid of not being seen, and asked, "Lin Yao, is Lin Yao there?"
The thick fog dissipated a little.
The sunlight outlined the boy's unruly features, his broad hands casually resting on the sniper rifle, unconcerned about any sneak attacks from the shadows.
Lin Yao turned around and raised his head slightly.
He aimed the sniper rifle at the target in the tree, avoiding the heart, and fired three shots in quick succession without expression.
A mechanical voice began broadcasting from above.
"Student ID 002 Xie Xingchen".
"Health level less than 10%, about to be eliminated."
A cold reply came from Xie Xingchen's walkie-talkie.
"Talkative."
