People are gambling crazily, their charm is super S

"Okay, now we have both weapons and supplies. It's time to reunite with our teammates."

Naoki opened the map and pointed to the locations of No. 1 and No. 3.

Number 8 objected: "No, the most urgent thing now is to go to the middle tower."

"We are quite far from each other. If we try to reunite first and then head to the Central Tower, our spots will likely be taken away."

"Only the first four teams have a chance to clear the level. This means they don't all have to be present. As long as one person arrives early to unlock the pass, the rest of the team only needs to arrive within seven days."

Naoki admitted that what No. 8 said made sense: "But if we continue like this, I don't know if the other teams have already joined up. If we run into the team that robbed you before, they have cars, guns, and are outnumbered."

Number 8 pointed at the map on his watch and said, "Of course, it's best for us to gather before we reach the finish line. There might be armed groups waiting outside the finish line, waiting to eliminate any teams arriving later."

Naoki nodded. She felt certain that some team would implement such a cunning strategy. Especially low-stakes teams, who would try their best to eliminate the high-stakes team in this round.

"How do you think you'll determine the rendezvous point when you can't communicate with your companions?"

Naoki pondered, "If we're going to meet up, we'll definitely have to choose the one closest to all of us. Right now, we're two together, and No. 1 and No. 3 are in two different places. The target should be closer to where the three of us are, and also closer to the finish line."

"Where this game has iconic locations, there are only airdrops. But, it's going to be dangerous."

Number 8 nodded. "That's right. This drop point is the shortest to the finish line, and it's also very close to the three of us. If they can think about this, they should also come here."

"Also, if we want to agree on a meeting point, we can actually move forward."

Number 8 explained, "If they pay attention to the map, they can figure out the direction we're heading from the changes in our position tonight and tomorrow."

“So, I don’t think we need to worry too much about this.”

Naoki felt that what No. 8 said made sense. After all, they now had knives and guns. Even if they met the group of people just now, as long as they could launch a sneak attack, they might not be defeated.

"In that case, let's set off quickly."

Anyway, I don’t feel any physical fatigue in the game, so I just keep walking at night.

Naoki and No. 8 embarked on a long journey.

Naoki observed the location of her companions every hour, and found that No. 1 and No. 3 had no intention of joining them directly, but were going directly to the finish line.

The closer you are to the finish line, the greater the possibility of encountering other teams.

The two walked all night, and after eight hours, they were finally only halfway to the destination.

At this time, Naoki and the other man knocked on another signal battery.

After they continued walking for a while, Naoki discovered that No. 1 had been staying in the same place for two hours without moving.

"Oh no, she's not going to get into trouble."

Naoki was a little anxious. What if number 1 was Kirari? She had to go save her and see for herself what was going on.

No. 8 couldn't stop Naoki, and in the blink of an eye, Naoki ran towards No. 1.

"Hey, No. 17, calm down."

"Our companion is definitely in trouble."

"Yeah, I think so. Do you really want to save her now?"

Number 8 said calmly, "If we go looking for her now, we'll probably waste time. Other teams might take this opportunity to overtake us."

"And since you're in trouble, the worst that could happen is that your health points will drop to zero before you even get there, and you'll end up lying there in vain."

"Do you really want to risk being eliminated? Even if it's just the two of us, we can still pass it."

Naoki felt a strange feeling in his heart. No. 8 actually said such selfish words and possibilities in such a cold tone.

The reason why Naoki felt strange was that if ordinary people wanted to bribe or persuade others, their tone should be more tempting, not so cold.

It felt like a cold question machine. Naoki couldn't figure out whether No. 8 really agreed with him going to find No. 1, or not.

However, for Naoki himself, this is nothing to worry about.

"I'm going. Because that could be my friend."

Naoki's answer without hesitation made No. 8's eyes shine with surprise.

"Okay, then I'll go with you."

Naoki hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, if you're afraid of being eliminated, you can go to the finish line alone. I'll still give you the gun, and I'll also give you two signal batteries. This is what you deserve for accompanying me through the level."

Naoki's words seemed to have no appeal to No. 8 at all.

"Since you want to go, of course I will follow you."

This sentence……

very strange.

Why does No. 8 follow me?

I have felt this way since before, no matter what decision I make, No. 8 will follow me.

In the mini-game, he didn't make a sound when escaping into a store with zombies, and he didn't scream or blame himself after the zombies surrounded him.

This is acting like one's own - one's own person?

Naoki couldn't help but think narcissistically, could it be that No. 8 had developed some simple feelings for him because he saved her?

"Well, in that case, let's go quickly."

……

Along the way, Naoki observed and found that although teammate No. 1 had some small-scale actions, he had not made any big moves, as if he was trapped there and unable to leave.

This made Naoki even more anxious, and the two of them quickened their pace.

Three hours later, Naoki arrived at the area, which was a valley.

"This place is in pretty good condition. There's nothing difficult to walk on. Did teammate number 1 run into any trouble?"

Naoki imagined Kirari slipping and falling into a lake, or falling into a hole in the forest and becoming unable to move.

Hmm, I feel like this kind of thing doesn't seem like something that would happen to Kirari.

But, it’s hard to say.

If it really was Qi Luoli, he would definitely make fun of her.

The two walked into the grove, and at that moment, No. 8 pulled Naoki.

"Wait, there's a deer up ahead."

"deer?"

Naoki was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, he saw a deer walking in the forest.

Are there any animals on this deserted island?

Wait a minute, could it be...

A huge beast suddenly ran out of the woods, knocked down the deer and started biting it. Its sharp claws directly tore open the deer's belly.

"Oh my god, it's a bear! Run!"

Naoki was frightened.

Can they defeat a bear with just these little pistols?

Naoki found that unlikely.

However, the bear seemed to be concentrating on the deer it had just hunted and did not notice the two people.

Naoki successfully escaped with No. 8 via a detour.

"This is terrifying! No wonder Teammate No. 1 is trapped here. This forest is full of wild beasts."

Naoki and No. 8 wanted to take a detour, bypass the bear and go to where teammate No. 1 was.

Just when the two had been walking for more than half an hour, they suddenly heard the sound of running footsteps.

Soon, Naoki and the others saw the man.

It was a familiar face, No. 16 with long pink hair, and a wolf was chasing her!

What a strange place it is to meet her.

When No. 16 saw the two, his face lit up with joy and he ran towards them: "Help!"

No, we are on the same team, right? Why are you yelling for help?

No, this evil woman wants to lure the wolf to them.

Naoki and No. 8 looked at each other and ran in two directions at the same time.

Number 16 followed Naoki without hesitation, because Naoki had short legs and couldn't run fast.

This was indeed the case. The more supplies he took, the slower he ran. Soon, Naoki was caught up by No. 16.

When you encounter danger, you just need to run faster than others. Naoki felt powerless when he saw No. 16 running towards him and surpassing him. Why is he always the unlucky one?

The wolf behind him was getting closer and closer, and Naoki could only turn and roll to avoid the wolf's first attack.

Naoki took out his combat dagger, having no other choice but to fight.

At this moment, No. 16, who had escaped from the wolf's pursuit, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Naoki with complicated eyes, took a few steps back, and slowly ran away.

Naoki waved the dagger around randomly. After all, she didn't know any fighting skills at all. If she didn't dagger in advance, she would have no chance once she was attacked.

The wolf did not attack immediately, as if it knew that the dagger in front of it could threaten it, and it made an attacking gesture around Naoki, looking for a flaw.

Suddenly, the wolf seized the opportunity when Naoki swung and pounced. At this time, Naoki's hand had just finished attacking and there was no time to retract it to prepare for the next attack.

At this critical moment—Naoki's body collapsed.

With a gunshot, the wolf in front of me fell from mid-air.

Number 8 stood not far away, holding a smoking pistol.

Naoki gasped and exclaimed: "Number 8, your shooting skills are amazing! You even shot down the wolf in mid-air."

No. 8's expression was still indifferent. He walked over and helped Naoki up.

The two rested for a while and continued to move forward to look for teammate No. 1.

"Looking at the map, she's not far away, only about two kilometers."

The two walked carefully in the woods. Fortunately, they only saw some rabbits, insects and other animals, and no large animals.

The terrain of the valley is uneven, making it difficult to find someone to see things.

Naoki walked for another twenty minutes when he suddenly heard No. 8 call out.

"Number 17, look, it's the woman from earlier, number 16."

Naoki was shocked and ran to No. 8 to take a look. In front of him was a naturally formed small cave with a diameter of five meters. There were a lot of weeds beside the cave entrance. It seemed that No. 16 had accidentally fallen in and was now gritting his teeth and holding his legs in the cave, unable to move.

This woman got her comeuppance. She dug a trap and fell into it, and stole two signal batteries. Just now, she tried to escape from the wolf's mouth by diverting the blame, but she led the wolf to herself. As a result, she accidentally fell into the hole while escaping.

"What should we do, No. 17?"

Number 8 looked at Naoki, asking for her opinion.

For a moment, Naoki didn't know what No. 8 meant by "What should we do?"

But soon No. 8 gave her a choice.

"Number 17, Number 16 just hurt you so much, should we take her supplies away?"

"Eh……"

"Her leg is broken. If we take her supplies, she will definitely not survive tonight."

Naoki:……

No. 16 has hurt me so much and even stole my things before, so it’s reasonable for me to take her things in revenge.

However, she had returned her backpack to herself before. She had just encountered a wolf. Anyone who wanted to survive would not be able to help but ask for help when seeing a stranger.

But she still hurt herself.

At this moment, No. 8 said again: "Actually, if we don't take her supplies, she won't be able to hold on for long. Anyway, her leg is broken, and if no teammates rescue her, there is no way she can get out of the cave."

"She's so badly injured, saving her would require a lot of medicine. If she doesn't have anything particularly valuable on her, the likelihood of her teammates coming to her rescue is also low."

"After all, now is the critical moment to reach the finish line."

No. 8 made a statement, saying that even if they did not steal No. 16's supplies, the probability of the other party surviving would not be high, but there was still a chance if they left it to fate.
