Chapter 044 Hunting Game
Chapter 044 Hunting Game
Six sharp metal limbs, like six drawn blades, shrieked as they tore through the air, instantly engulfing Chen Feng, Chen Yun, and Han Yue!
"Damn it!"
Han Yue's expression changed drastically. She reacted the fastest, her toes slamming into the ground, and her body retreated rapidly like a falling leaf, narrowly avoiding the two oncoming beams of cold light.
The Chen brothers, Chen Feng and Chen Yun, were not so lucky. Their offensive was exhausted, and their old strength had just run out while new strength had not yet emerged. Faced with this sudden backlash, they could only awkwardly cross their arms and endure it.
"Clang! Clang!"
Two piercing metallic clangs rang out!
The two brothers were thrown backward by the immense force, and two deep, bone-revealing cuts instantly appeared on their arms, dripping with blood.
The seemingly unbreakable "Backstab Alliance" crumbled instantly under the frenzied attacks of the mechanical guards!
Meanwhile, Tie Meng and Zhao Shu, having just recovered from their shock, also quickly retreated and hid.
They don't want to be the next target.
If those three people had targeted them, there's no doubt they would have called for help by now, or they would already be corpses.
Lin Qiye had already disappeared behind the broken wall on the other side.
He didn't stop for a moment, nor did he turn back to watch the spectacle of infighting.
He moved like a nimble cat, leaping and climbing through the ruins with swift and silent movements.
His goal was clear—to find a suitable vantage point.
He needs a position that allows him to have a panoramic view and a clear view of everyone's movements.
His heart was filled with coldness.
Han Yue, along with the Chen Feng and Chen Yun brothers, have completely broken off relations and there is no possibility of cooperation anymore; it's a fight to the death.
As for Tie Meng and Zhao Shu... there might still be a chance to win them over.
But right now, what he wants to do most is to take advantage of the chaos to see if there is an opportunity to get rid of these three traitors!
These three guys, since they dared to try to kill him, should be prepared to be killed in return!
"If it really doesn't work out, then we'll just give up on the second phase." A resolute thought flashed through Lin Qiye's mind.
He was well aware of his situation.
Compared to those geniuses who receive systematic training from a young age and have access to various resources, he, a self-taught "wildcat," was inherently disadvantaged.
Getting this far in this exam is already an unexpected bonus.
He can fail the exam, but it's best not to get too badly injured.
Rescue costs can be very high!
Just as Chen Feng and Chen Yun were repelled and Han Yue was dodging in a sorry state, the mechanical spider's single red eye flashed a few times, seemingly reassessing its threat level.
Having lost its initial target, Lin Qiye, the three people in front of it quickly retreated, escaping its attack range.
"Threat eliminated... Returning to standby mode..."
The cold, electronic voice sounded again.
The ferocious mechanical spider slowly retracted its six segments, and its massive body lay down again.
The metallic sheen on its body quickly dimmed, blending into the surrounding rust and dust, as if it had turned back into a lifeless pile of scrap metal.
The battlefield, which had just been tense and on the verge of life and death, instantly fell into an eerie silence.
The wind, once again, howled through the empty shopping mall.
The heartbeats of the few people hiding behind different bunkers seemed to be amplified infinitely at this moment.
Han Yue hid behind a broken load-bearing pillar, her chest heaving slightly, her eyes coldly scanning her surroundings. She hadn't expected that the guy called "Xiao Lin" to react so quickly and use such bizarre methods, not only escaping the deadly attack but also turning the tables on them.
The Chen brothers, Chen Feng and Chen Yun, leaned against a crumbling wall, injecting themselves with injections to stop the bleeding and bandaging their wounds, while searching for Lin Qiye's whereabouts with venomous eyes. Their failed ambush had backfired, leaving them utterly humiliated, and their murderous intent only intensified.
Meanwhile, Tie Meng and Zhao Shu hid even further away. They exchanged a glance, both seeing lingering fear and relief in each other's eyes. They trusted no one now, only seeking to protect themselves.
Everyone knew the unspoken agreement.
Whoever makes the first move is likely to become the next target.
A stalemate was reached.
Everyone's thoughts were surprisingly consistent: wait.
Let others lose their temper first.
Wait for others to make mistakes.
Or... wait for new "prey" to enter this area and break this damn balance.
Time passed by, second by second.
The abandoned shopping mall was eerily quiet.
Above the tomb, in a dilapidated office on the third floor, Lin Qiye coldly watched everything below through a shattered window.
He concealed his aura to the extreme, as if he had merged with the surrounding shadows.
He is very patient.
Because he knew that in this hunting game, the one who loses patience first is often the one who dies first.
