Chapter 1244
"Bam—"
A gunshot rang out, hitting a branch that fell to the ground. Li Yitao grunted, jumped down from the tree in frustration, and ran away quickly.
He knew it! Among a bunch of new players, for the sake of game balance, he, as a veteran player, would definitely be the first one chosen by the game mechanics!
The sound of footsteps, one high and one low, followed Li Yitao as he walked quickly away. Only after the footsteps were no longer audible did the chubby man crawl out of the bushes. "Damn, that scared the hell out of me! That hunter even had a gun!"
"What, you're still thinking of fighting back?" The professional woman also climbed out of the tree roots, brushed the grass off her clothes, looked at the high school student who had slid down from the tree and the still silent Feng Lan, and suggested, "Now that the aggro has been drawn away by that veteran player, it's not safe here anymore. Do you want to look for clues together?"
"Looking for what?" The chubby man knew that the veteran player clearly didn't want to be with them, or rather, if the hunter hadn't made a move, he wouldn't have known that the veteran player was hiding nearby. He was obviously using the four newbies as cannon fodder.
Since the game has grouped them all together, the best way to clear the game is definitely to help each other and stick together for mutual support. He glanced at the people next to him and figured they weren't crazy and could be considered temporary teammates. They weren't exactly life-or-death buddies, but at least they could provide some sense of security.
"Let's go find the hunter's place. Since he lives in the forest, he must have somewhere to stay. Maybe there are even guns in the hunter's cabin." The high school student hiding in the tree had the clearest view.
The hunter was wearing a slightly worn leather jacket and a hat, with one eye covered, whether he was blind or just pretending, and he was carrying an old-fashioned double-barreled shotgun. He did indeed walk like a cripple.
After listening to the high school student's explanation, the chubby man complained, "It's either yes or no, why use 'maybe' all the time? It seems like it..."
The high school student ignored the fat, white man's question and chose a direction, asking, "Which direction did the hunter come from? Which way should we go?"
The others had no objections and followed behind her. It was only then that the high school student spoke up, "This is a horror game! Uncle, haven't you seen that horror games are all malicious? Maybe this hunter is just pretending to be blind to fool us. A limp can also be a disguise. I think he was quite fast at spotting that person and tracking him. Maybe he was just faking it."
The high school student's words expressed doubt, but also served as a reminder to others not to underestimate the hunter's speed just because he had been limping earlier.
At least from the perspective of the high school student standing in the tree, the other person was running very fast in the forest. "He runs very fast in the forest, he should be faster than us."
At this point, the high school student couldn't help but glance at the chubby, white man with a beer belly who seemed to be the slowest in line.
It wasn't a stereotype, but their grade director was heavily pregnant and walked very slowly when patrolling the teaching building. Besides, how fast could someone with such a big belly run?
The chubby man felt awkward for a second under the high school students' gazes, then touched his beer belly and said, "Well, I've gotten this belly from eating so much, I never expected it to turn out like this. If I had known, I would have trained every day."
"There's a trap ahead." Feng Lan casually tossed an anchor point behind a tree and warned the high school student who was just two steps away from the sacrifice.
The three of them stopped and looked down simultaneously. The chubby man looked around but didn't see her. He then looked at the feet of the other people and spotted her in front of the high school student. Seeing that she didn't recognize her, he pointed to her.
“There, do you see it? In the leaves,” he chuckled. “You’re all too young. You’ve never seen these things before. When I was a kid, there were so many traps in the mountains…”
"Thank you." The high school student only saw it after being pointed out by the chubby man. She was startled and said thank you somewhat awkwardly. Seeing that Feng Lan had picked up a wooden stick, she also picked up a stick and hit the ground with it.
