Chapter 159
The battle royale game came to an end, and I got first place as planned. The only thing that was unexpected was that the Moon Team and the Mogrosa Team tied for second place with the same points, and the number of guns that could be brought into the hunting ground also increased from two to three. These two teams were already difficult to deal with, and now the situation has become even more troublesome.
The second round of rewards included 50 million universal coins and a gun. The former was delivered to their room by a blonde beauty in a sexy uniform fifteen minutes after the ranking was announced, and the latter was distributed along with the rest of the equipment when they landed on the island during the hunting game.
At this point, Xu Shaohuai and the others could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The injuries on his and Song Xiuyuan's bodies were not particularly serious, but they were not something that could be healed in a few days by simply wrapping them with gauze and putting on a Band-Aid. Fortunately, after the first night, things basically went according to plan, giving the two of them a chance to recuperate. After about two days, with the help of the special medicine Bai Ningxi brought, the wounds had almost begun to scab over and heal.
Because this round of games was too exhausting, the third round that was originally planned was cancelled, leaving two extra days for rest. The hunting ground lasts for half a month. They have VIP privileges and a half-hour reward for the first game, so they can log in three and a half hours earlier than other teams. At that time, they can ask Yang Xinyao to make some adjustments and try to avoid other teams for a few days. All this time is enough for them to heal their injuries.
After that, there was basically nothing to worry about. The hunting ground was very large, and although cameras were installed in most areas, there were also many blind spots. With Jing Ling and Yang Xinyao on their side, it could be said that they had an absolute advantage.
The game ended late at night. In the two days before that, almost all the participants maintained a highly alert mental state. In addition, they had suffered minor or serious injuries in the process, and they were all very tired. After the rankings were announced, everyone returned to their rooms and fell asleep. It was not until noon the next day that people started to get up one after another.
The fourth floor area served as the battlefield and was being cleaned by the cruise ship's service staff. The buffet restaurant there was also temporarily closed. Therefore, the Western restaurant on the fifth floor became the first choice for each team because it was the closest.
Breakfast time has long passed and it is already lunch time.
Jing Ling and his group took the elevator from the third floor to the fifth floor. When they walked through the long corridor to the western restaurant, they saw several teams sitting scattered in the luxurious and spacious space. The three members of the "old acquaintances" Snow Wolf Team were also there. Jing Ling originally wanted to go over and have some exchanges, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. There would be plenty of opportunities in the hunting ground later, so there was no need to rush.
They found a seat in a corner and sat down, receiving countless stares along the way, all from other teams. Basically, they were just curious and confused, and there wasn't much malice to be felt, because the teams that survived in the end had no connection with them. Xu Shaohuai and Song Xiuyuan only fought on the first night, and both teams were wiped out. Afterwards, they deliberately said that only Jing Ling was active. In the early stage, they relied on getting number tags and basically did not meet other teams. Later, he also cleaned up the remaining teams he met. In other words, those who had grudges against them were all dead, and those who were alive were those they had never met, so there would not be much hatred between them.
Of course, except for the members of the Snow Wolf Squad.
As soon as Jing Ling and the others sat down, the waiter brought the menu and asked them to order. The menu was handed to Jing Ling. He was not picky about food, so he passed it to Yang Xinyao next to him, and then he rested his chin on one hand and stared at the sea outside the window in a daze.
It was a rare good day, with bright sunshine and a cloudless blue sky. As far as the eye can see, the sea and the sky seem to be connected together. The sea breeze rolls up waves, rolling and drifting away. Unknown seabirds flap their wings, and their nimble figures flash by the window.
Jing Ling came back to his senses when he felt someone approaching. Looking in the direction where the sound came from, they saw a team of people walking towards them, only a few meters away from them.
Although he had never come into contact with this person during the game, Jing Ling could still tell the identity of the person by comparing the situations at the beginning and the end. They are from the Moon Goddess Team. I don’t know what their purpose is in coming here. However, he doesn't need to worry about this issue. These are all teams that Xu Shaohuai has dealt with before, so he should be the one to negotiate with them. So he continued to keep his chin on his hand, changed direction and continued to daydream.
"Hello, Fox!"
"Hello, Boulder!"
Although he was sitting in a corner, his view was still wide. In addition, the other party's purpose was very obvious, so Xu Shaohuai naturally noticed someone coming. The person who spoke was Boulder, the captain of the Luna Team. Judging from his appearance, he was an elegant gentleman, but in fact, he was not much different from the other people in the room. They were all cold-blooded animals who killed without blinking an eye.
"What's the matter?" Xu Shaohuai asked straight to the point.
The other party's group of five sat down at the table next to them. Boulder was sitting closest to Jing Ling. He replied, "I have a question. Where did you find your sensor?" As for why he only asked about the location and not the person, it was obvious that he already had the answer in his mind. This could be seen from the fact that his eyes were fixed on Jing Ling when he said this.
Xu Shaohuai narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this. "Why are you asking this? You should know that there is no pattern to the sensors. Even if I tell you, it will be useless. In the next game, they will definitely hide in a different place or a different way."
Boulder smiled, "I'm just curious. After all, I've been here so many times, but this is the first time I've met someone like him." He paused and continued, "You're really lucky. You've found a good teammate in such a short period of time, and he's someone who's been blessed by the goddess of luck."
This sounded like a casual sigh, but Xu Shaohuai suddenly became alert, "I advise you not to go after him, it's useless." He knew Boulder very well, not only from the limited contact in the hunting ground, but also from more information from the mercenary world. The Luna Team is a very famous mercenary team. There must be more than five members. Those who can come here are specially selected. Not only them, but other teams as well, except that most of the information can be purchased from special channels, including the members' personalities and strengths.
The Qinglong team led by Xu Shaohuai is also active in the mercenary world. In order to cover up their tracks, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by their superiors, they also take on other tasks, and the hunting ground is just one of many characters. But they really only have one small team, not as many people as other teams.
From the information he knew, Boulder was a person who liked to poach people. The guy in his team who was proficient in firearms was someone he poached from a second-rate mercenary team.
Although Xu Shaohuai knew that Jing Ling could not be poached, he was also disgusted by Boulder's behavior.
Sure enough, after hearing his words, Boulder laughed and said, "How do you know the result if you don't try? Money, jewelry, women, everyone has weaknesses. If you find them, most of the things will be done."
Xu Shaohuai was about to retort when Jing Ling, who was in a daze beside him, turned his head and glanced at Boulder, who smiled at him without any concern. After the two looked at each other for a moment, Jing Ling replied, "Leave me your contact information."
Xu Shaohuai: "..." He didn't doubt that Jing Ling would betray him. After all, his relatives were in the country, and there was an entire country standing behind them. What they could give was not comparable to that of a mercenary team. He just felt a little pain on his face because he had just told the other party not to pay attention to Jing Ling...
Yang Xinyao and others, who had already stopped ordering food and were concentrating on watching the show, cast curious glances upon hearing this. They didn't think as much as Xu Shaohuai, but they intuitively felt that Jing Ling would not betray them.
Boulder, on the other hand, looked at Jing Ling with some surprise. This was clearly the result he wanted, but his expression did not look that happy. But after all, it was he who brought it up, so he still left Jing Ling his contact information, an email account. It went without saying that it was a three-no product and it was impossible to do anything with it.
Then Boulder took his men away.
Yang Xinyao curiously asked Jing Ling the purpose of doing this, and got the answer, "I don't want to waste time talking to him. I'm about to eat, and it will affect my appetite."
Xu Shaohuai felt quite helpless when he heard this. If anyone really wanted to change teams, they would definitely contact each other privately. Jing Ling asked for his contact information in front of him, which was tantamount to telling the other party not to even think about it.
No one else came to disturb them after that, and after having a sumptuous meal, they returned to their room to rest.
Two days passed in a flash, and the cruise ship finally arrived near the island named Hunting Ground. Xu Shaohuai and his team, along with people from other teams, had already reached the deck, waiting to land after their equipment was distributed, but unexpectedly an accident occurred. Two people in white laboratory coats came from the island. After they spoke a few words to the guide, the guide's face changed and he hurried back.
About half an hour later, the organizer issued an announcement that due to a sudden accident on the hunting ground, the game venue was severely damaged, the final hunting game was cancelled, and the cruise ship would return early the next morning.
