CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 348: JI YOU DOMINATES THE ARENA

System: [91 people have died, 19 remain on the field.]

This system alert ignited the already tense atmosphere, as gunfire erupted all at once—

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The five people in the car, as if they were in a deserted land, chased after the two on the motorcycle, and swiftly, the ones on the motorcycle were eliminated. But these five people seemed very confident in themselves, charging directly towards the Red-haired boy—

However, the Red-haired boy was no pushover. With one move, he eliminated a girl from inside the car.

Ji You, hiding in the attic, lay steadily on the floor, her eyes fixed on a certain spot. She dared not relax her connection to the Spiritual Network, keeping watch on everything around her.

Muddying the waters.

Causing chaos in the confusion.

Fear not the chaos, but the absence of it. During the standoff between the Red-haired boy and the passengers of the car, Ji You made her move.

She pressed the trigger, and a bullet flew straight out of the window.

Whoosh—

Someone from inside the car suddenly fell.

Eh?

This scene caught the attention of those in the car. The leader said, "Someone else has intervened, just take care of this Red-haired one."

As the words fell—

Whoosh—

A bullet whistled by, hitting the leader in the head, but slightly off target, not eliminating him immediately. The leader’s body swayed, and as he was about to return fire, he was struck by the Red-haired boy.

Clang—

With the leader eliminated, the remaining three instantly became disarrayed, unable to cooperate effectively. Originally, these five had formed a temporary alliance, and with their strongest member out, the rest were unwilling to submit to one another, each deciding to fight independently.

[There are 6 people left.]

Everyone remaining knew this; just 6 more to go, and they would all be safe.

The three on the car thought the same, so they decided to abandon the car and hide inside buildings—

However—

The Red-haired boy and Ji You had no intention of letting them split up.

It’s not easy to gather these people together, a perfect opportunity to wipe them out at once. If they let them disperse, it wouldn’t be as easy to catch them.

So—

The Red-haired boy’s onslaught became more intense, as if his bullets cost nothing. His submachine gun rattled off, eliminating two people in quick succession.

As another tried to run, Ji You’s bullet was already on its way.

Bang!

In an instant, both the Red-haired boy and Ji You acted, eliminating three people in the blink of an eye.

The Red-haired boy slightly lifted his head, looking in Ji You’s direction.

Ji You locked eyes with him emotionlessly.

Immediately after, the Red-haired boy took off running.

Ji You narrowed her eyes—

The Red-haired boy’s internal alarm bells were ringing. He knew the person hidden at the highest point was an expert, an absolute sniper! If he wasn’t fast enough, he would be the next to be eliminated.

Then—

Whoosh—

The Red-haired boy, sprinting away, suddenly felt something was amiss—the sound of air flowing was not directed at him, but towards a point less than 50 meters away from him.

Huh?

The Red-haired boy rolled on the ground, and at that 50-meter distance saw a man in leather pants collapse to the ground, struggling for a moment, then laying still.

The Red-haired boy had no time to care about that, quickly taking cover in a small warehouse.

[Only 2 left.]

Throughout the venue, there were still 12 people, all of whom, just like the Red-haired boy, had found places to hide and dared not act rashly anymore.

The Red-haired boy had a narrow escape, his heart pounding fiercely. He knew that if the sniper’s initial target hadn’t been someone else, he too might have been the one eliminated.

A formidable enemy!

This sniper could be said to be the most dangerous person in the entire arena, bar none.

At this moment, everyone present was aware of this fact.

...

After sniping several people in a row, Ji You’s face still remained calm and composed, not showing the slightest bit of unease, just like a cold, ruthless killing machine.

The weak chicken, peeking at her secretly, felt a chill run down his spine.

Oh my...

What kind of god of death had he, the weak chicken, encountered?

So... so terrifying.

But!!!

Also so... so thrilling!

In this life-and-death competition arena, shouldn’t one put their whole heart into it and fight bravely?

For a while, the weak chicken looked at Ji You with fear and dread, but also with a soaring admiration!!! His heart couldn’t help but heat up!

Someday with a knife in hand, he, the weak chicken, also wanted to be a person who could command the winds and the clouds!

The eyes of the weak chicken, growing brighter, flared up at the thought of his own feeble strength, then quickly deflated like a punctured balloon.

He, the weak chicken, should just wholeheartedly try to be a hanger-on for the big shots...

After Ji You’s round of maneuvers, the weak chicken’s thoughts and decisions had been overturned, rebuilt, and overturned again... In the end, he finally resolved to cling to the leg of the one called ’Rag Queen’ and remain firm in his decision.

At that moment, a pair of girls in grey seemed to have met their match. They relied on their numbers advantage and coordination to take down someone else within a few seconds.

[Only 1 person left.]

Who?

Who could be this unlucky one?

Unquestionably, this question popped into everyone’s minds at the venue.

Within the secluded attic.

Ji You, who had been staring outside the window, suddenly turned her head, her gaze landing on the weak chicken.

The weak chicken shivered all over: "Qu... queen, why are you suddenly staring at me?"

Inexplicably, a bad premonition flashed through his mind.

Little did he know, Ji You would suddenly break into a smile, looking at the weak chicken very kindly and asking softly, "Weak chicken, guess how many seconds it will take for me to deal with that Red-haired boy?"

The weak chicken’s lips tremblingly replied: "When the queen takes action, 5 seconds! No, it can be done in 1 second."

Hearing this, Ji You chuckled lightly and said: "You flatter me too much. Not accounting for air resistance, it will take at least 7 seconds just for the projectile to travel from being fired to hitting the target."

The weak chicken opened his mouth, about to speak.

But Ji You quickly changed the subject, suddenly asking, "Now guess, how many seconds would it take for me to deal with you?"

The weak chicken: "..."

The weak chicken’s face instantly fell: "Qu... queen, you’re joking, right? That’s not funny."

Ji You lifted her eyes, looking directly at him, and said, "10 seconds. It would take at least 10 seconds for me to deal with you."

The weak chicken: "..."

The weak chicken trembled even more fiercely, as if he were a sieve shaking, his face full of terror as he stepped back continuously: "Queen... I, the weak chicken, I’m your person."

Meaning—

Please don’t kill your own teammate.

"Also—also, queen, you’re giving me too much credit. It couldn’t possibly take 10 seconds to deal with a weak chicken like me, even 1 second is too long," the weak chicken said, shrinking his neck and flattering Ji You all the while.

Ji You lifted the corners of her mouth, noncommittal: "Mm-hmm~"
