Chapter 42 Arrogant Teammates
After Xiao Chou finished explaining the rules, he disappeared into the sky, and in his place appeared a copy countdown and numbers from one to twenty.
Zeros are shown after each number.
There are twenty teams in total, which means a total of one hundred people.
Now these one hundred people were shocked by Xiao Chou's last words, and they haven't recovered yet.
"What does Xiao Chou mean? Is he leading us to kill each other?" Someone broke the silence and said the answer that everyone knew.
The difficulty of this copy is not killing aliens, but killing people.
Because the higher the ranking, the better the rewards, some people will definitely attack other teams in order to get good skills.
When Chu Xihen saw the points list, he immediately exchanged for two cloaks, one for Lou Su and one for himself.
"Cover up the number plate." Chu Xihen whispered to Lou Su.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted, "Where is Team 15? You still have two teammates here!"
Chu Xihen and Lou Su said nothing. It didn't matter if they didn't have these two pig teammates.
After someone took the lead in finding teammates, other scattered teams also began to recognize each other by numbers.
At this time, a kind person reminded: "There is a real-time ranking list in the sky. I advise you not to reveal your number plate for now, so as not to become the target of hunting later."
After this person reminded them, everyone quickly covered their number tags on their chests, but some people who were standing closer had already memorized the names and numbers of the people in the nearby teams.
The kind-hearted man continued, "I have a suggestion. Would you like to hear my opinion?"
He spoke again, drawing everyone's attention.
Chu Xihen and the others also saw the person speaking through the crowd.
He was a young man in his early 30s, tall and good-looking, with waist-length hair tied casually behind his head. He spoke in a neither fast nor slow tone, with a kind of soothing friendliness.
Although he reminded everyone to cover up their number plates, he left his own plate exposed.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't delay me from killing the aliens." A voice in the crowd urged.
Ling Yao, who was squatting on the ground, stood up after hearing the voice. He stretched his neck to look forward, then retracted his neck and whispered in Chu Xihen's ear: "Brother Chu, it's Hu Gang and the others."
Chu Xihen had heard this name from Ling Yao before. They were the group of people who had left him and ran away before.
"How many of them are there?" Chu Xihen asked.
"All eight of us are here." Ling Yao said as he tightened his cloak around himself. He absolutely could not let Hu Gang recognize him, otherwise he would definitely attack them as they were outnumbered.
"Don't panic, just wait and see." Lou Su comforted.
He wanted to hear what unique insights the long-haired man had.
"I just want to ask everyone, if all the aliens in this copy are killed, everyone can have 10,000 points and complete the level with zero casualties, are you willing to cooperate?" the long-haired man asked everyone.
That was a good question, and it silenced everyone.
Then someone asked, "In this case, how is the ranking calculated?"
"Yes, how should the rewards be distributed?" someone nearby agreed.
The long-haired man said, "There are two possibilities. Either no one gets any reward, or everyone gets the same reward."
To put it bluntly, you still have to gamble.
It's obvious that the mechanism of this copy is to make everyone kill each other. If they unite to take advantage of loopholes, they may get no rewards in the end.
"This is difficult to cooperate with, isn't it? No one knows whether the points are enough for each person to reach 10,000." A small voice tactfully raised an objection.
At this time, Hu Gang, who Ling Yao knew, said loudly: "Even if the points are really enough, how can you guarantee that everyone will not take more after they have accumulated 10,000 points? If some rubbish can't even kill aliens, and still needs others to give him points, isn't that ridiculous?"
"So everyone just doesn't want to cooperate and wants to fight on their own?" The long-haired man was not surprised at all when he heard the voices of opposition, as if he had already expected this result.
"What's the point of talking about cooperation when we are not equal in power?" Hu Gang had the loudest voice among the crowd.
He was confident, after all, his people had come in, almost two teams, and as long as they united themselves, they would be able to deal with the other teams.
Ask him if he is not afraid that others will unite to attack him? Of course he is afraid, so now he is trying hard to shake people's hearts.
"We don't have much time, let's go kill the aliens first!"
Hu Gang's shaking was very effective, and it was too difficult to get everyone to cooperate and ensure that everyone got 10,000 points. It would be better to kill the aliens quickly, lest they be killed by others. Not only would they not get any rewards, but they would also lose their lives.
The team that had no intention of cooperating rushed towards the forest. Even if the rest of the people had any ideas before, they gave up now. The long-haired man's plan required all 100 people to work together. If even one person did not cooperate, the plan would fail.
In the blink of an eye, there were only a dozen people left in the distance, including Chu Xihen's two missing teammates, as well as the long-haired man and his teammates.
"Why don't you leave? They are unwilling to cooperate, and there is nothing we can do. We can only kill ourselves." The long-haired man said to the rest of the people with some regret.
Hu Gang and the others had already gone into the forest, and Ling Yao was no longer so scared after curling up in his cloak.
He curiously asked the long-haired man, "You reminded everyone to hide their number plates, why didn't you hide yours?"
The long-haired man looked over at them upon hearing the sound, and replied to Ling Yao with a smile, "Because I'm not afraid of others snatching my points away."
His tone was confident and a little arrogant.
"Oh, then you are really awesome." Ling Yao could only exaggerate dryly.
The long-haired man said softly, "Thank you. You are number 15, right? Your teammates have been looking for you."
After he finished speaking, he took his four teammates away, and then the other two No. 15s finally turned their attention to Chu Xihen and the other two.
"You guys are really funny. We've been looking for you for such a long time. Are you deaf? You didn't say a word." The person who spoke was a tall and burly man. Next to him stood a woman who was a head shorter than him. Both of them were wearing camouflage uniforms.
This combination of them reminded Chu Xihen of Zhuang Shi and Xiao Xi, whom he had known before. These two should also be a couple.
"Didn't the man just now say that it's best to hide your number?" Ling Yao replied to the man, and then couldn't help complaining, "What does Changmao mean? He even revealed our number before leaving!"
"Are you so afraid of death? So what if people find out? Can't we just fight back?" The woman crossed her arms over her chest and looked at the three men with pride.
"Look at the way you are dressed. Are you really not going to see anyone?" The two of them took turns to ridicule Chu Xihen and the other two.
The main thing is that all three of them were wearing cloaks, with most of their faces covered by hoods. Anyone who saw them would think they were afraid of death.
"Forget it, wife. Stop wasting time talking to them. Let's go kill the aliens first." The tall man was about to pull the woman away.
The woman was unwilling, "What's the point of just the two of us killing? The final result depends on the points of the entire team!" She glared at Chu Xihen and the other two fiercely, "I warn you, even if we can't get first place, we have to be in the top three. You are not allowed to drag us down, understand?"
