Chapter 155
It's twelve o'clock noon, and there are still twelve hours until the end of the game. Still unable to find the whereabouts of the Azure Dragon Team, Boulder and his team simply gave up, because according to the updated point rankings, the Azure Dragon Team had dropped to third place, and now only the Moon Goddess Team and Mogrosa were left competing for first place. Although the top two winners can get the right to use hot weapons, the prize money for the first place is 20 million universal coins more than the second place, and there are few people who don’t like money.

From the beginning of the game to now, most of the teams with lower strength have been eliminated, and the remaining ones can be said to be elites, which also means that they are difficult to deal with, so it becomes gradually difficult to increase points in the later stages. But it is only relative, the final madness was destined from the beginning.
The top few teams are all catching up very closely in points. It is worth mentioning that the fourth-placed team, Snow Wolf, has 340 points, which is only ten points away from catching up with the third-placed Azure Dragon team. If Boulder still doubted whether the Qinglong team had any plans at the beginning, now he basically believed Cronin's speculation that there must be something wrong with the Qinglong team!
Theoretically, there are three rounds of pre-games in the hunting ground. The first round was originally prepared for those incompetent people as a warm-up. The second round of the melee is the real beginning. The top six teams in the second round can directly enter the final hunting ground finals. The remaining teams will directly enter the third round of games to decide the final two spots and make up the final eight participating teams.
However, there are exceptions. For example, if the second round of the game consumes too much energy, the top eight players will be directly selected to enter the hunting ground and the third round of the game will be cancelled. This situation occurs once every one or two rounds.
"It doesn't matter. I won't meet you in the second round. We will always meet in the final hunting ground." Boulder said to himself.
Judging from the current trend this year, there will probably be no third round of games. At that time, no matter what position the Qinglong team ranks in, as long as they do not fall out of the top eight, they will definitely enter the hunting ground.
It was nine o'clock in the evening, and there were only three hours left until the end of the game. From now on, the points update frequency will be shortened from once every two hours to once every half an hour, and the real melee begins.
Before this, Jing Ling went out to raid several times and brought back the number twenty-nine, which added up to exactly one hundred. There were only a hundred-plus people participating in the second round of the game, and the number cards they held accounted for nearly eighty percent of the total, which was almost the limit. So he didn't go out again. Instead, he took a piece of paper and a pen and drew a simple map of the place he had walked, dividing the rooms and other areas, and where each team might stay.
He spread out the drawn map on the table, and everyone gathered around to study it.
The final three hours of chaos, like before, where even if a team passed by they would be ignored, is basically impossible to happen again. The team in front wants to stay ahead, and the team behind wants to catch up with those in front. In this case, the entire fourth floor area will probably be swept once, or maybe twice. If you continue to stay here, you will inevitably be discovered.
They are studying the map now in order to fight guerrilla warfare with other teams later.
Although they said that everyone was studying it together, in reality only three people made the final decision: Jing Ling, Xu Shaohuai, and Yang Xinyao. The first two were responsible for selecting the route and order, and then Yang Xinyao calculated each result and finally eliminated the problematic options. What remained was their action plan for the last three hours.
A huge number appeared on the display and the countdown began.
Jing Ling checked the number plates and the scattered reserve points one last time, then left the door wide open. The room was turned into a mess, making it look like it had been checked. The purpose was to keep as many reserve points as possible. After all, they couldn't bring everyone with them when they were fighting a guerrilla war. If nothing goes wrong, they will be able to collect the points when they come back in the last half hour. During this period, Yang Xinyao will be responsible for paying attention to the situation here and reminding them immediately if there are any changes. Jing Ling will rush back as soon as possible to resolve the problem. No one else will get the advantage no matter what.
The points ranking will be updated at 11:00 p.m.

After the five men worked together to surround and kill two members of a remaining team, the members of the Snow Wolf Squad sat next to the corpses to take a temporary rest, and Jeffrey was responsible for cleaning the battlefield, which meant touching the corpses. Although I know that the possibility of finding a number plate on a person at this time is very small, I can't just ignore it.
"Nothing." Jeffrey searched the two dead bodies from head to toe, almost stripping them naked.
"As expected." Captain Moses replied while wiping the dagger in his hand.
They are now in the guest room area. The two people they just dealt with were both injured. They hid in the closet in the room, which was quite hidden. Unfortunately, the bloodstains on the ground were not cleaned up and they were discovered.
This area looked like it had been swept, but Moses still led the team to conduct a second sweep. Although I searched the first few rooms without finding anything, I persisted until the middle section and found something.
"Continue to clean the rest of the area." Moses threw the handkerchief he used to wipe the dagger on the ground. The blood on the dagger had been wiped clean, and the blade was flashing with a cold light. He stood up from the bed and walked out the door. "The two kills just now plus the seven number plates add up to 75 points. Our total score is only 475 points. I wonder how many number plates the Mogrosa and Luna teams have hidden. If we want to get the top two places, the safest way is to get as many kills as possible."
"There's only one hour left until the end of the game. We're running out of time."
While talking, Moses had already walked to the door of another room. The door was open. Standing outside the door and looking inside, he saw a mess everywhere, with obvious signs of being rummaged through. If the game had just started, he would definitely give up the search and go directly to the next place, but now the game is almost over, and they chose to clean the guest room area, so they must search every room, especially in a situation like this, which is more suspicious and requires special attention.
He stood at the door, turned around and prepared to command the team to enter, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a figure suddenly jump out from the end of the corridor behind him!
"There's someone! Be careful!" His reaction was very quick. He dodged and hid in the door almost the moment he saw the scene. Although guns and bows and crossbows are prohibited in this round of the game, and almost all fights between teams need to be conducted in close combat, but almost does not mean all, which means there are exceptions. At least Moses knew that among the two teams in front, Eugene of the Mogrosa team was good at throwing knives. Although his hit rate was not 100%, it was around 70 to 80 percent.
Of course, after a quick glance, he was not sure who the person was, but he did not want to gamble his life on such probability. It is always better to be cautious in everything.
Moses' reminder was very timely. The moment he discovered the enemy, he dodged himself and reminded his teammates at the same time. But even so, it was too late. He seemed to see a flash of silver light, but it was so fast that his eyes could not catch it at all. Before his brain could react, he heard Jeffrey, who was walking at the back, groan, lose his balance, and swayed. He hurriedly reached out to hold the wall, with a painful expression on his face.
Wells, who was closest to Jeffrey, had already retreated to the door. He paused when he heard the sound, then quickly turned back and helped him up without saying a word.
Moses was so angry that his eyes almost burst into flames when he saw this. He gritted his teeth and yelled, "Fuck! Don't worry about him for now. Get back here! He is probably good at throwing knives!"
When he considers issues, he always puts the interests of the team first. The current situation is that Jeffrey has been hit, so it is speculated that the enemy is likely to be a long-range player. Under this premise, if Wells goes back to help Jeffrey, he will most likely get himself involved. Moses is naturally very angry.
The next moment, his worries became a reality. Before Wells could help Jeffrey hide behind the door, the other party attacked again. Wells groaned, his body stiffened and his steps stopped, just like Jeffrey just now, obviously he was hit.
"Fuck! Idiot!" Moses cursed.
At this time, the first thing he should have done was to cover and save his teammates instead of speaking ill of them. However, the situation of their team is a bit special. Jeffrey and Wells are new members. Even though he was the one who extended the invitation, they have only been together for less than a year and have not yet been able to integrate into the team.
While cursing, Moses leaned against the wall with his back and stuck half of his head out to check on the enemy. The lighting at the other end of the corridor was a little dim, and the other party was facing away from the light, so he couldn't tell their identities, but he could still see a few people clearly. Unexpectedly, there was only one person, and it was not a team action.
I don’t know if it’s because the other members of the team are gone or if he’s simply overconfident.
But it doesn’t matter. No matter what the reason is, if you dare to take points from his team, you must be prepared to pay with your life!
"Blake, Eugene, go find something to cover yourself in the room, and then kill him for me!"
Moses finished speaking, and suddenly heard the other party's voice coming from the corridor, "Since you don't want to give me the things you promised me before, I have to come and get them myself. No one can owe me something and not pay it back."
As he spoke, the man walked towards this side. Under the light, the clown mask gave people a weird feeling.
