Chapter 13

Xinyue was a little confused now. She was capable of running, but not with such large strides. Usually, she could only run 100 meters at most. But now she had run 300 to 400 meters without panting at all?

“This is the effect of the energy drink. You will not only be able to run fast, but you won’t even have to worry about getting tired.”

It was as if Han Gui could read her mind.

But how was all this possible?

“Xinyue, get down!”

In less than two to three minutes, Han Gui brought Xinyue to a slight slope. The terrain here was very good. The two slopes concealed him and Xinyue in the middle, preventing the possibility of a sneak attack.

The air drops landed unsteadily. At the same time, a notification appeared on every players’ tactical panels, and it was marked with an eye-catching red dot.

[Ding! Attention, the air drop box has landed. The location is 113 meters in front of you. There are top-tier weapons and defensive equipment inside which can greatly increase your survival rate.]

[Ding! Attention, the air drop box has landed. The location is 108 meters in front of you. There are top-tier weapons and defensive equipment inside, which can greatly increase your survival rate.]

Two consecutive prompts announced the landing of the two air drops. Han Gui could already imagine how fierce the competition would be later.

The two air drops had attracted the attention of a large number of people. Regardless of who wanted to be the first to make a move, all eyes were on the air drop boxes.

After looking around, Han Gui took out an energy drink and said to Xinyue, “Xinyue, keep drinking the energy drink. Once we’re done, we’ll be running! Do you see that side of the bungalow? Don’t stop running towards it. Just follow me, got it?”

Nodding, Xinyue drank a bottle of energy drink and waited for Han Gui to rush out of the hill. Xinyue quickly followed after him.

The hill was still not safe and they were a little far from the bungalow. But it was a relatively safer option. They could attack or retreat easily and no one was paying attention to them. If they didn’t run now, they probably wouldn’t have time to run later.

With the boost from the energy drink, even Xinyue could run a distance of more than 100 meters in 20 seconds. The energy drink was extremely useful.

Just as Han Gui thought, no one had noticed him and Xinyue until they rushed into the two-story building.

There were not many rooms in the building. There were only seven or eight and none made good scouting positions. Han Gui leaned against a window and looked out at the fishing village through the 15x scope he had picked up earlier.

At this moment, both the square and the fishing village were very quiet, as if there was no one there.

However, Han Gui refused to believe that. Everyone was waiting, waiting for the first person to make a move.

“Xinyue, look in the direction of the fishing village. Be careful. If anyone comes out, tell me immediately. I will observe the area in P City.”

“Got it. Xinyue will definitely put in all her effort!”

Xinyue was determined to let Han Gui see how useful she could be this time!

After switching to the 15x scope, the air drops now looked as if they were right in front of them. Even the distant hills, woods, and boulders could be seen clearly.

As time passed, the power grid had already moved to P City. And there were still no movements around the air drops. However, Han Gui was not worried. In fact, he even smiled.

Through the 15x scope, Han Gui could already see other players running madly on the road. They must have been forced out of S City and R City’s school. He did not think that there would be people fighting for air drops here so soon.

How could they still be calm?

800 meters…600 meters…100 meters… There were seven people in total, and they seemed to be moving as an organized group. The seven people ran together in three groups of two, two, and three.

It was the last 100 meters and the three groups of people were moving more than 50 meters away from each other. They covered each other from the front, back, left, and right. But they only had Beginner Gun Mastery, so it would be difficult for them to hit people from 50 meters away.

When the seven people suddenly appeared, those in the housing area and the fishing village could not hold it in anymore, especially those in the housing area. The people closest to them had already fired.

Bang!

The sound of shots carried a strong deterrent force. Han Gui instantly recognized that it was the sound of a 98K. Only the sound of a sniper rifle could be so unique, especially with a single shot.

Unfortunately, the accuracy was off. The 98K was considered the most difficult sniper rifle to use. The bullets fell very heavily and it was difficult for a non-expert to control this sniper rifle.

As if it had triggered a fuse, the first shot had triggered the entire housing area into chaos. Gunshots came from every corner.

And the shots kept coming, regardless of whether any hit the targets or not. The shooters just wanted to stop the group of seven from reaching the air drops.

Han Gui watched pieces of soil flying wildly under the feet of the seven players in the distance through his 15x scope. That was how many bullets flew at them.

Seeing that the players were getting closer, but none had been killed, the players in the housing area became anxious.

“Are we just going to shoot blindly and watch as someone else gets to the air drops? How about we come to an agreement? Whoever decides to take the initiative to aim and shoot at one of them, we join in and take them out one by one. Once we have dealt with them, then we’ll split the air drop spoils among us based on our strengths. How about that?”

The voice roared above the sound of gunshots and very quickly the place fell silent. Not too long after, other voices responded.

“Alright!”

“I agree!”

…

Eventually, everyone agreed. However, it would be very difficult to abide by such a verbal agreement. People turned into beasts in the face of temptation. Han Gui would never agree to it if he was present. Whoever did would be an idiot.

When the time came, it was very likely that both sides would shoot at each other. Even the underworld in the real world was corrupted. Why would Infinite Space be any different?

While Han Gui was still analyzing the situation, Xinyue’s voice suddenly rang out:

“Brother Han Gui, Brother Han Gui! Quick! Quick! It’s coming! It’s coming out!”

Han Gui almost dropped his gun. ‘Woman, how can you have such thoughts now? I didn’t even do anything!’ 

When Xinyue turned to look at Han Gui’s reaction, she froze. She suddenly realized what she had just said and her face instantly turned as red as a big apple.

“I meant that the people from the fishing village are coming out! I didn’t mean anything else!”
