Chapter 237: Battle Royale, You Have to Shrink the Circle
Killing Floor, right in the center.
Different from the surrounding scenes that look like the end of the world, in the center is a 100-meter-high tower that is still well preserved.
The high tower is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a slightly taller bamboo shoot. The surface of the tower is smooth and flat, which is a bit out of place compared with the abandoned buildings around it.
On the top of the tower is a room with a wide view and open on all sides. It is similar to the top of a watchtower, but the room is slightly larger.
Under the light of the light source in the sky, a silver light lit up in this room.
An experienced soldier might become alert when he sees this layer of silver light, because it is the reflection of the sniper rifle scope.
But nearly three hundred years have passed since the catastrophe of alien beasts. Human beings have become accustomed to fighting without hot weapons, and have long since lost their dependence on firearms.
These days, a warrior's body can resist swords and swords, and a mere bullet or two is not a big threat to a warrior with copper skin and iron bones.
However, in the room at the top of the tower, there was such a man wearing a camouflage combat uniform, with a jet-black sniper rifle set up in front of him.
There is a red scope mounted on the man's eyes, and some parameter mirrors are also set on the front end of the sniper rifle to calculate the distance, wind speed, and air resistance's influence on the sniper.
Under the aim of the sniper scope, a few kilometers ahead, a three-person team appeared.
"The prey is coming!" Seeing this, the man sneered, and began to aim skillfully.
A few kilometers away.
The three Wuhan University students moved forward cautiously, not forgetting to look left and right as they walked, for fear that an enemy would suddenly appear nearby.
Their expressions were flustered, obviously they had gone through some ordeals, so they became extra cautious.
"There is movement in front, hide!" One of them seemed to have discovered something, and quickly instructed in a low voice.
After the other two heard this, they immediately took action. The three finally found a building and hid in it immediately.
Not long after, a group of men in black walked by in the distance, and five of them stood apart, searching for something in the vicinity.
But the three people who hid are very experienced,
When hiding, try to keep a distance from the man in black as much as possible, keeping a distance of 20 meters.
Even they would rather hang their bodies out of the window or on the exposed steel bars of the building fault than hide in the house.
Soon, the man in black saw that there was no one around, and quickly left here.
The three of them waited for a while, and after confirming that the man in black had left, they walked out cautiously.
"It's dangerous, if we didn't know that the detection distance is 20 meters, we wouldn't be able to get here!" One of the three said.
"Let's go, the building in the center doesn't look right at first glance, the exit is probably there, let's go in and look for it!" The second person pointed to the steeple in the center and urged.
The three of them immediately set off and walked towards the steeple, but they were not moving fast, and they were very cautious, fearing that they would encounter the enemy again.
But just a few minutes after the three of them moved forward, one of them felt a sense of horror, which made his hairs stand on end and his heart became alert.
"How is it possible, there is no..." Before he could finish his sentence, his head exploded suddenly, blood mixed with brains flew out, and the scene became extremely bloody.
"Plop!" The headless corpse fell, and there was a "bang" in the distance.
"Hot weapons, how is it possible, haven't all the hot weapons failed?" Seeing this, the remaining two were shocked.
After all, human thermal weapons have been ineffective for nearly three hundred years, not to mention nuclear bombs, even pistols are useless, this has become common sense for everyone.
As a result, today, right in front of their eyes, a teammate was shot in the head by a sniper rifle.
"Find cover!" Seeing this, the third person quickly got down and looked for cover.
thump!
There was another sound of falling to the ground, and the person saw that the second companion had turned into a headless corpse, and his body fell down with a bang, with blood pouring out of his neck like a fountain.
He was terrified, but he didn't dare to act, because the sniper must have aimed at him, and if he acted rashly, he would die a miserable death.
But he didn't dare to move, which didn't mean that the movement here wouldn't attract the enemy.
"Hurry up, there was movement there just now, maybe someone slipped through the net!" The sound of the sniper rifle still attracted the enemy.
When the man heard the sound from a distance, he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split and his pants were wet.
"If you don't run, you will die, and if you run, you will die. What should we do?" He was caught in a dilemma.
"If I don't run, I will be surrounded by five people, and I will definitely die. If I run, no matter how powerful the sniper is, can he hit the moving target? As long as I move fast enough, the sniper's bullets may chase after me. Not on me!"
In the end, he chose to fight. As long as he didn't move in a straight line at a constant speed, it would be very difficult for a sniper to hit the target.
Thinking of this, he exerted all his strength, let go of his feet and rushed out.
But just a few seconds after he rushed out, there was a piercing pain in his chest, and a ball of blood exploded.
He looked at the chest pierced by the bullet, his body lost his balance, and he fell forward.
"How can it be……"
When he fell to the ground, his eyes were wide open, and he was dying.
On the steeple a few kilometers away, the man in the camouflage combat uniform sneered, his half-kneeling body stood up, and moved his hands and feet.
"Hmph, no one can escape my [Death Shot]!" He sneered, then picked up the chalk on the floor, and drew three strokes on one wall of the room, forming a Chinese character "卌".
On the wall, there are five identical "卌" characters next to it.
"Counting the three just now, I killed exactly 30 people. It's a pity that the Tiandao League also sent people, otherwise I really want to snipe those 160 Wuhan University students!" The man looked at the marks on the wall and sneered. .
...
Killing Floor, North Zone.
Lei Yi raised his eyes to look at the top of a semi-collapsed tall building. Apart from the ruins, there was only a minaret in the center that caught his attention.
"There is a minaret to the south of us. I feel that this tower is a bit weird!" Lei Yi pointed to the minaret in the center of the killing space, so he judged.
To the north of them, there is a huge blue barrier, which obviously represents the boundary of the killing space to the north.
Not only that, but under the observation of Lei Yi and others, it can be seen that the boundary will start to shrink towards the center every once in a while.
"There is movement, we are going to shrink the circle again!" Suddenly, there was a roar from the north.
Lei Yi and the others had expected it a long time ago and moved quickly.
Behind them, the blue barrier began to move towards the center, which was also a sign that the scope of the killing space was shrinking rapidly.
Lei Yi also gave this phenomenon a term called "shrinking circle", which is specifically used to refer to this matter.
Obviously, the supernatural beings who control this place don't intend to give them a way out, and the narrowing of the range means that the chance of encountering the killer of the Tiandao League is higher. This is not clearly beneficial to the killer.
But no matter how unfavorable they are, they must move and try to get out of here as soon as possible.
Lei Yi took Ingrid and Fei Bo to keep moving. Although the three-member team was not powerful, they could handle some enemy five-member teams.
Since just now, they have dealt with several waves of five-member squads from the Tiandao League. The strength of the opponent's teams is also uneven, some are strong and some are weak, and several times they even almost threatened their lives.
"There is movement!" Just as he was advancing, Lei Yi suddenly raised his hand to signal, leading the team to stop.
"There is someone ahead, come and save me!" A boy shouted from afar.
Then, in front of Lei Yi and the others, they saw a boy from Wuhan University rushing over from a distance, and behind him, two men in black were chasing after him.
"Let's go to save people!" Seeing this, Ingrid was about to leave.
But Lei Yi grabbed the other party and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, let's see it!"
"Come and save me!" The boy in the distance ran even more eagerly when he saw Lei Yi and the others, as if he had caught a life-saving straw.
The distance between the boy and Lei Yi is also shortening rapidly, 50 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters...
"Warning, Enemy Encounter!"
"Warning, Enemy Encounter!"
After Lei Yi heard the siren, he secretly said yes, then pulled Ingrid back quickly, and at the same time pointed to Feibo with his eyes.
"What the hell are you doing? You haven't come to save me!" Seeing that the three of Lei Yi didn't save him, the boy shouted with a hint of resentment on his face.
The next moment, he was chased by the man in black, and then died in the siege of the two behind him while screaming.
Before he died, this person gave Lei Yi and the others a vicious look, as if he was about to kill the three of them.
"Priority to deal with the enemy!" Seeing that the man in black had killed the boy, Lei Yi rushed towards the enemy with Ingrid.
A few minutes later, the two men in black fell to the ground and died, but there was still a blue barrier around them.
"Sure enough, if we encounter enemies, we won't be able to get out of trouble unless we clean them up!"
Lei Yi walked to the edge of the barrier, beat it with his hands, and shook his head secretly.
"Lei Yi, why did you refuse to save yourself just now!" Ingrid came to Lei Yi and asked angrily.
"We can't save him, because the rules here don't allow it!" Lei Yi shook his head, pointed at the blue barrier and said:
"As long as we encounter a team of more than two people, he will be judged as our enemy. Once we encounter an enemy, unless we kill the opponent, we will always be trapped in one place and cannot move."
"As you can see, the enemy is not only the man in black. The male student who approached us first was the male student, but Killing Space is still judged to have encountered an enemy. This shows that if we want to move, we still need to kill him!"
"But there's only one of him!" Ingrid retorted.
"No, he is not alone, but his companion is far away from him, so when we met him, he was already in a team with others!" Lei Yi had no choice but to explain patiently.
For him, encountering other student teams was expected, and he was also prepared to destroy other student teams.
But he was afraid that Ingrid, a decent person, would feel sorry for her. After all, she, who was particular about chivalry, might not be able to do so.
"I didn't kill him, it was the man in black who killed him, but can you guarantee that other teams will have your consciousness?"
"You also saw that the boy was planning to drag us into the water. If you save this kind of person, it's a waste of time!"
Lei Yi could only persuade Ingrid with good words, and let her understand the cruelty of reality.
"That's right, what Lei Yi said is not wrong. That bastard clearly wants to move the trouble to the east, and we are already doing him a favor if we don't kill him. If it were me, who would dare to stand in the way, even if it was the bastards from Wuda, the imperial capital, I will kill you too!"
Fei Bo immediately smoothed things over and helped explain.
Lei Yi sighed, because the rules here are not made by himself, so if you want to blame, you can blame the space system user.
