Chapter 153
Faced with this situation, Xu Shaohuai was even ready to fight. The result was unexpected. The light spot representing the enemy stayed at the door of the next room for a moment, and then suddenly left quickly. Judging from the sensor, that speed required a full-scale run. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't curious about what happened during this period, but Xu Shaohuai has always been able to control his curiosity well.
But just because he didn't know didn't mean Jing Ling didn't know. With his extraordinary hearing, he knew that another team was coming. This team of people did not have number tags on them, so Xu Shaohuai could not see their presence on the sensor. It should be that the people from the front team came out of the room, saw the people coming from a distance, and for some reason did not want to conflict with the other party, so they quickly withdrew. The later team chose to catch up, and the two teams passed through the door one after the other.
As the team's first and strongest line of defense, Jing Ling was not far from the door. After making sure that the two teams outside were about to run out of the corridor, he quietly opened the door a crack and took a look.
I didn’t recognize the ones running in front, but the ones chasing behind... what a coincidence, they were actually “acquaintances”, the team that declared war on Jing Ling and the others at the beginning of the game. If the current conditions did not allow it, Jing Ling really wanted to sneak up on them and give them a "surprise"!
After this little incident, nothing else happened until 6pm when the organizer announced the team points rankings. Compared with the series of accidents yesterday, it was so smooth that it seemed a little unreal.
Display screens can be seen in many places on the fourth floor of the cruise ship, and at least there must be one in the guest rooms. At exactly six o'clock in the afternoon, the display screens that were originally turned off were all awakened. The female host with blonde hair, fair skin and beautiful eyes said a bunch of basically useless words in the international common language, and then focused on introducing the top three teams in the current points.
Jing Ling and his team were the first.
"This team is an old acquaintance. I don't need to explain their situation. Those who pay attention to the hunting ground should know it. Captain Fox and his team have successfully challenged the hunting ground three times and were among the final winners. However, something unexpected happened in the last game... After a year, Fox came to the hunting ground again with his newly recruited teammates. As a king, he took the first place at the beginning of the game!"
As the female host finished speaking, the screen split into two, with portraits on the left and team names and points on the right.
——
Team: Qinglong
Points: 350
Rank: 1
——
Yes, the name of Jing Ling's team is Qinglong, which is very common among the people but can show the national characteristics to the outside world. The points shown here are in addition to the number plates, even the number plates they own are not taken into account. Only the fifteen people are counted for a total of 300 points.
Afterwards, the female host introduced the second and third ranked teams.
The name of the second team is Mogrosa, which is the god in charge of death in the famous mythology of Xizhou. And this team did not live up to the name. In the mercenary world, they were one of the top mercenary teams, and in the hunting ground, they were always one of the ultimate winners. This group came into contact with the hunting ground two years earlier than Xu Shaohuai. Xu Shaohuai didn't know what mentality they had when they first participated in this game, but from the time he participated, everything they did was for the purpose of enjoying the pleasure of killing.
At least a quarter of the deaths in the final game hunt each year can be attributed to them.
——
Team: Mogrosa
Points: 180
Rank: 2
——
Ranked third is also a familiar team. Coming from the most famous romantic country in Middle-earth, the names of the teams seem to be influenced by the national culture.
——
Team: Luna
Points: 170
Rank: 3
——
The female host only introduced the top three teams, and then directly announced the points and rankings of all teams. There are a total of thirty-two teams. Even those with all their members dead are still displayed on the list, but they are all gray, clearly distinguished from the others, and you can tell at a glance that they are dead.
The ranking is displayed on the left and right sides, in order from top to bottom and from left to right. The top three are located at the top left and are highlighted. In other circumstances, this would undoubtedly be an honor, but here, it is just a crazy way of attracting hatred, and it is written in bold and capital letters saying "Come and kill me!"
Jing Ling watched the whole thing with an expressionless face, and finally glanced at the rankings and wrote them all down. By the way, I also noticed that the "familiar" team that I passed by in the corridor before was ranked very high.
——
Team: Pasolier
Points: 100
Rank: 6
——
Pasolie, also originated from Xizhou, is a flower that can poison gods in ancient mythology.
It seems that any team with a little fame can have its name traced back to a period of history.
In a hidden corner of the comprehensive area on the fourth floor, members of the Luna team sat around a round table, their eyes fixed on the LCD screen in front of them. Seeing the team points rankings listed above, everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised.
At the beginning of the game, most teams will choose to lie in wait to observe the situation and wait for an opportunity to act. But obviously, a top-level mercenary team like them is not included in the majority.
The Moon Goddess team, like Mogrosa, is a frequent visitor to the hunting ground. Together with the Qinglong team that came from behind, these three teams have always been the winners of the final hunting ground game. But overall, the Luna team had the best performance, because in the previous three games, the three teams each won first place once, and in addition to that, the Luna team also won second place twice. The Mogrosa team's results were slightly worse, but they took first, second and third places. Among the three teams, Qinglong team was the worst. Except for one time when they came first, they were third the other two times.
Furthermore, in the last hunting game, the Qinglong team suffered a major setback. Except for the captain Fox, the remaining four people, although their lives were saved, were also disabled. They could barely be considered ordinary people and could forget about making a living as mercenaries. Under such circumstances, everyone thought that this team would not be seen in this hunting game, but unexpectedly, the fox still came.
However, the person came, but no one was optimistic about the teammates he brought. Especially those two who are just ordinary people no matter how you look at them. If the Moon Goddess team were allowed to choose, they would rather have those who were previously disabled, because at least they have combat awareness.
Therefore, at the beginning of this game, neither the Moon Goddess team nor Mogrosa regarded the Azure Dragon team led by Fox as an opponent. In their view, the battle for the first and second place can only be a competition between their two teams.
They encountered two teams in the cafeteria on the fourth floor last night. They fought twice, killing four and seriously injuring four, for a total of 120 points. The game had just begun at that time and all teams were very alert. They were lucky to encounter two teams that came to them, so they were able to get so many points. According to past experience, there is a high possibility that this team will rank first in points. It is basically impossible for other teams to threaten them. The only variable is Mogrosa.
They were lucky and the other side was not bad either. In other words, any mercenary team that makes it to the top ranks has bad luck. In this line of work, absolute strength is of course important, but so is luck.
Now the results are out. It turns out that the people in the Mogrosa team are really strong. They beat them by a margin of ten points. The members of the Moon Goddess Team didn't think anything of this. After all, it wasn't the final ranking. There was still more than a whole day before the end of the game, so there were plenty of opportunities to catch up or even overtake. What was really hard for them to accept was the performance of the Qinglong team. This team, which they had not taken seriously at all this time, directly took the first place after the points ranking was announced. The points of this team were the sum of their two teams combined!
It was a slap in their face!
"Damn it! How did they do it?!" In the team, a blond and blue-eyed white man almost frowned his eyebrows together.
Not only him, but everyone else couldn't figure it out.
"Captain, what do you think?"
The captain of the Luna team, Boulder, is also a blond-haired, blue-eyed white man with a face that can be called handsome. Coupled with his tall stature and well-proportioned muscles, he is always successful with women.
When he heard his teammates' questions, his gaze fell on the word "Qinglong" again. He narrowed his eyes slightly, looking dangerous and charming. He thought for a moment before speaking, "We have dealt with the Azure Dragon team many times. You all know how strong Fox and his team are. But because of the last accident, all his teammates have changed. That woman and the thinner man may have some special abilities. After all, they come from that ancient and magical country, but I don't think they are combatants. In this way, the target is locked on the other two people. We have never met them and cannot judge their strength, but the man wearing the clown mask participated in the first game. At least it is certain that he has a strong memory and observation ability. In addition, one of his hearing or smell must be very strong, and I am more inclined to the former."
"If we run into them next time, our first priority is to deal with the man in the clown mask, and then the fox. As for the other unfamiliar face, we should test his depth first, and we must not let our guard down for the remaining two people, and we must be careful and on guard!"
