Chapter 157
The sharp blade flashed with a cold light and cut the throat. The skin and flesh were clearly separated, and blood gushed out of the wound like water.
During the whole process, Moses' expression remained the same as before, without any change, and his eyes were calm. It was as if the person under the blade was an enemy, or something else, instead of his teammates.
Wells was seriously injured and was already at the end of his strength. Now he encountered this accident and could no longer hold on and stopped breathing. But those eyes were still open, widened to a terrifying degree. This is what is meant by dying with eyes open.
Blake watched this happen, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked up at Moses with an expression of disbelief.
"Captain, you..." He stopped talking halfway, but didn't know how to continue. But Moses seemed to know what he wanted to ask. He shifted his gaze from Wells's body to him. After looking at him calmly for a moment, he said lightly, "He's dying."
Blake thought Moses had something to say next, so he waited to listen. But after waiting for a long time, he heard nothing from him, so he could only say, "I know." This was obvious, and anyone with eyes could see it. "But what does this have to do with you... killing him?" For people like them, killing is just an ordinary thing and there is no psychological burden at all. However, at this moment, he even felt taboo to mention the word "kill". The word seemed to be trapped in my throat and I couldn't utter it no matter what.
The lights, which were supposed to flash continuously every four seconds, seemed to be attracted by this wonderful show and stopped repeating the annoying process, and remained bright.
Moses retracted his gaze and looked at the dagger in his hand. The blade was still stained with blood. The cold light and the temperature of the blood intertwined, making people feel uneasy.
"It was the clown from the Azure Dragon team who injured them, and the accident that happened afterwards accelerated the time of their death. Now that the clown is not here, the situation has become a little complicated. I wonder how the referees sitting in front of the monitors will judge this battle. Will the score for the Azure Dragon team be serious injury or death? If it's the former, then they can only add 20 points, and if it's the latter, it will double to 40 points."
"Although their points have not changed from the beginning to the end, their starting point is very high. If we calculate based on 40 points, they are now 390 points. Although we are not sure when they got the points, if it was during the beginning, they may have had a lot of number plates in their hands."
"Blake, you should be very clear about our team's current situation. After losing two members, we will be at a disadvantage compared to other teams in the next hunting ground game. But if we can have a gun, we can make up for some of this gap. So in this game, we must get the top two!"
The rest of the words didn't need to be said, Blake already knew it.
According to the rules of the game, the points will go to the team that kills the person, even if you kill your own teammate. Because he was unsure how Wells and the others' points would be calculated in the end, Moses decided to do it himself just to be on the safe side. The hidden meaning of the sentence "He is about to die" is that since everyone is going to die anyway, it is better to keep the points for your own team instead of letting others get the advantage in the end.
Cruel and realistic, he will do anything to achieve his goal, this is Moses. He comes from a distant snow country, uses the snow wolf as his totem, and seems to have been influenced by this cruel and cunning creature.
Moses had explained it clearly, but this explanation...
Blake looked at him, then lowered his head to look at Wells who died with his eyes open, and felt very upset. Although he had never liked the two people who joined the team later, thinking that they were latecomers and their strength could not keep up with their team. Although they were not to the extent of dragging the team down, they did not help much overall. It was a warm-up game for everyone, although the rules and methods were temporarily changed and other teams joined in, and winning or losing still depended on a certain amount of luck, but the final result was that they lost. They lost when they were about to win, and it was still such a cowardly way.
Wells and Jeffrey returned to the room where their team was after the first round of the game. Although they were very experienced mercenaries, they were complete newcomers to the Hunting Ground. Before coming into contact with the team, they even thought that the Hunting Ground game was just a lie, like the treasure buried in the ocean, which only needed to be heard. Before coming, Captain Moses mentioned some information about the hunting ground to them. Although it was complete enough, it was obviously impossible to include the newcomers who appeared for the first time. However, because the opponent was too powerful, they mistakenly thought that he was an old man who had participated in the hunting ground several times like Moses and others. In addition, the man wearing a clown mask gave people a very weird feeling. Even the two of them were affected. Out of concern, they went to Captain Moses for information about their opponents after they came back.
Moses seemed a little unhappy at that time, but this person never showed his emotions. Wells and Jeffrey, as newcomers to the team, naturally could not know Moses too well. Even Blake only felt that Moses' attitude was a little bit wrong, but he did not think about it as he was unhappy. He just thought that he would change the rules that had been in place for a long time in the next game. After all, this was not a good thing for the team that had already adapted to the previous model.
After the second game started, it was proved that Moses' worries became a reality. The flickering lights made the hot-tempered Blake only curse and ignore the previous situation.
But until now, when Moses personally ended Wells' life, Blake still couldn't be sure whether he was angry because of Wells and his team's poor performance before, or whether he was really so cold-blooded just for the sake of the team's interests, because in some ways, this kind of thing was not really so unforgivable.
Even though they have been together for so many years, Blake always thought he was a good enough teammate, but now here, fate seemed to be laughing at him loudly.
Forget it, this round of competition is about to end, and there will be the most dangerous hunting game afterwards, where not only other teams but also terrible animals and environments threaten their lives. Every step may be the door to hell, which can open at any time for these adventurers. No matter what happens, you have to let it go first. Otherwise, if a rift arises, it will not be good for the team or for yourself. He had heard people talk about the distant ancient country of Dongzhou.
What happened was that if the team was defeated, as a member of the team, he would definitely not have an easy time either.
"Captain, I feel something is wrong." Eugene has not spoken since entering the door, making people subconsciously ignore his existence. Not only here, but also in previous missions or in daily interactions, he has always had this kind of personality and is easily overlooked.
He finished speaking, and before Moses could reply, he suddenly heard a low groan from the side.
"Ah... Wells... Wells..." It was Jeffrey next to him who woke up from a coma. He opened his eyes with difficulty. It was a simple action in normal times, but at this moment, his eyelids seemed to be pressed by a thousand-pound weight. Even if he used all his strength, he could only barely open a crack.
The light above his head was so bright that it was dazzling. He subconsciously wanted to close his eyes, but he kept reminding himself in his heart that he couldn't close his eyes, otherwise it would be difficult to open his eyes again, or he might never be able to open them again. Before he fell into coma, he heard Wells' screams. The other party must be in a very bad condition, and all this was caused by him. If it wasn't for saving him, Wells would not have to turn back knowing the danger, and naturally he would not have been injured. A series of accidents caused his injuries to worsen. He knew he would not survive, and Wells might not be much better off, but he still couldn't help but pray that Wells would be fine. He could feel that Wells was beside him, his body pressed tightly against him. He cried out with difficulty, and the slightest movement caused the wound on his chest to hurt so much that his eyes went dark. If it weren't for the belief that supported him, he would have passed out long ago.
Jeffrey's sense of smell was quite sensitive, but he felt that the smell of blood around him was too strong, even a little pungent. But he couldn't turn over, and even turning his head was difficult. He had no way of telling the source of the bloody smell. Was it from his wounds, Wells', or both?
Blake's body stiffened for a moment when he heard the voice. He saw Moses, who had stood up and was about to talk to Eugene, suddenly squatted down again, and took the dagger he had put away in his hand again. Moses' eyes were looking at Jeffrey next to Wells.
"Captain, that's enough..."
Blake subconsciously wanted to stop him, but stopped before he could finish his words because Moses had already taken action. Just like before, the sharp blade cut his throat and blood gushed out instantly. When people are frightened, their reactions are similar. Jeffrey, like Wells, stared with his eyes wide open in disbelief and eventually died with this extreme expression.
"What do you want to say?" After ending Jeffrey's life, Moses looked up at Blake. The latter opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing and just shook his head in vain.
I want to say, that's enough, Wells's 20 points are enough, the game is not over yet, they still have time to find new sources of points instead of continuing to swing the knife at their teammates.
