The hostage said with a forced smile, "We just want to live. You're pushing us too hard; it won't do us any good."
The implication is that they also have trump cards, and if they force a fight to the death, no one will benefit.
03 glanced at Xia Chuhe hesitantly, realizing that the short man was quite powerful and that his one-hit kill ability might not work on him.
Xia Chuhe ignored 03's meaning. The more unwilling the other party was to take off his clothes, the more it meant that he was hiding something valuable, almost as important as their lives.
"Not taking them off? Kill me first, then strip me, it's the same thing." Xia Chuhe said softly, as if talking to himself.
Upon hearing this, the two players who were originally on the green team looked rather grim.
Wang Mei pressed the dagger down, instantly leaving a bloody mark.
Xia Chuhe slowly took out a dagger, the tip of which sliced through the prisoner's combat uniform, revealing the soft armor underneath.
Seeing that things were not going well, the short man suddenly sprang up and rushed towards Wang Mei.
Wang Mei kept a close eye on the two men, not giving them a chance to launch a sneak attack. She immediately teleported away with her captive. During her evasion, Wang Mei's blade flashed, completely stripping the clothes off the man in her arms.
The moment she touched the soft armor, she understood everything.
Dungeon item: Resurrection Armor.
Literally, it means that you can be resurrected on the spot after death, but the side effect is that you will be severely injured.
The green team has six people, but they specifically gave him the resurrection armor. What is his special ability?
Unfortunately, whatever his superpower was, no one needed to worry about him anymore. Wang Mei skillfully chose a spot near the trap to teleport to, and the hostage stepped into it, becoming stunned. Wang Mei took the opportunity to remove his resurrection armor.
The others also launched their attacks the instant the short man launched his sneak attack, raining bullets, flames, and fatal blows upon him. However, all their attacks were like mud sinking into the sea, causing not a ripple.
Although the short man could defend against attacks, he couldn't defeat so many people. Seeing that Wang Mei had obtained the resurrection armor, all his efforts to protect the item had been in vain. He roared and turned to leave.
Xia Chuhe tried to restrain him with a claw hook rope, but he couldn't hurt him at all. Everyone could only watch helplessly as he left.
Wang Mei stroked the resurrection armor with her hand and stepped on the prisoner. She touched the resurrection armor for a long time with reluctance before handing it to Xia Chuhe and asking, "What should we do with the person?"
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! If you kill me, you'll all die too!" the prisoner cried out incoherently. "My special ability is to release poison after death. If I die, everyone on the entire game map will be buried with me!"
In that case, the resurrection armor worn by him can be explained. If the enemy kills him, he will drag everyone down with him, and in the end, he can still come back to life.
However, his teammates are willing to let him wear it on the condition that his poison is controllable and will not harm his teammates.
Xia Chuhe couldn't help but feel fortunate. They were really lucky; they just happened to want to test the trap's power and just happened to choose the person who went to open the box. So, by sheer chance, they had actually avoided a path to death.
This man's words weren't entirely credible, but Xia Chuhe and the others didn't dare kill him immediately. What if what he said was true? No one dared to gamble on that possibility.
Xia Chuhe used his special ability to ask if he could kill this person.
I only received the answer "at the appropriate time".
It is fate that this person can be killed, but the timing must be chosen carefully.
With just this one sentence, Xia Chuhe was able to conclude that this person was definitely lying!
With a quick thought, Xia Chuhe had an idea.
Currently, there are only two teams in the game: Red and Blue. The Red team has five members: four are from the initial team, and one is Lu Xiaofeng, who surrendered. The Blue team has seven members: five are from the initial team, one is a prisoner, and one is a member of the Green team who defected after surrendering.
Although neither the prisoner nor the defector was loyal to the blue team, the dungeon and the Marauder's Point map still classified them as belonging to the blue team. The game will end if the red team is eliminated or forced to surrender.
On the Marauder's Map, the five red dots are divided into two groups, scattered in two locations.
Xia Chuhe saw through the Red Team's tricks. They wanted to learn from Xia Chuhe's previous actions, to lure people over to surround and block them, and then use Lu Xiaofeng to reclaim the live point map.
However, the advantage is now in my hands, and Xia Chuhe disdains playing these petty games with them.
Xia Chuhe's idea was risky. She planned to feign revealing a location to the Red Team, lure them there, trick them into killing the prisoners, and then use the prisoners' poison to turn the tables on the Red Team. During this time, only one person needed to wear resurrection armor and lurk near the prisoners to prevent them from escaping or leaking information; the others would stay far away.
Bai Jiu was the first to object: "No, you're betting that the prisoner is lying. What if he's telling the truth and everyone on the map is going to be killed?"
“If what he said is true, the resurrection armor would never be worn by him, but by the short guy.” Xia Chuhe looked at the prisoners. “Your team leader is that short guy who escaped, right?”
"Heh, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. If you're so capable, kill me. We'll die together. One for five, I've had my money's worth."
Xia Chuhe clenched her fists. If they were outside the instance, she could use her Soul Searching Technique to examine the prisoner's brain and determine if he was lying. But inside this special game instance, with all other items ineffective, she was powerless.
Liao Ning hesitated: "Let's wait a bit longer. It's not time to gamble with our lives."
Xia Chuhe felt somewhat powerless. She wasn't gambling with her life; both the results of the inquiry and the deductions from the facts pointed to the prisoners lying. Liao Ning and Bai Jiu were being overly cautious.
Just as Xia Chuhe was hesitating about whether to compromise, a voice said, "I am willing to be the one who lies in the shadows."
The speaker was Wang Mei.
Wang Mei: "I think the plan is feasible. I can stay in the shadows and keep an eye on him. I even suspect that his poison will not only fail to kill everyone, but will even have difficulty killing the five members of the Red Team."
03 also said, "I agree."
Liao Ning did not insist on objecting; she was already hesitant: "Okay."
Four against one, Bai Jiu's objection was invalid.
"No rush, there's still plenty of time. We can start this afternoon."
There were only two blood packs, and at least one had to be saved for Wang Mei. Xia Chuhe didn't want to waste the blood packs and wanted to wait for his healing ability to cool down before treating the gunshot wound on his hand.
While there was still time, the five continued to search for supplies, following the clues on the live map.
By avoiding the red team and dangerous areas, what was originally a difficult resource-hunting journey turned into an incredibly simple jungle game.
In just a few hours, they found an extra trap, two guns, three daggers, and four health packs. It was a very fruitful haul.
As soon as the cooldown of his healing ability ended, Xia Chuhe immediately healed the injury on his hand and discussed the details of the plan with everyone again.
Soon, announcements rang out across the entire game map—
The top-tier homing projectile has spawned at the center point; the final battle has begun!
