He threw the energy drink bottle to the side and took out the Ghillie suits from before. Han Gui and Xinyue looked at each other and put them on.

The fifth cycle had been completed. 80% of the entire map of the Island of Ruins was now covered by the power grid, leaving only the airport as the remaining safe zone.

He was now going to enter the safe zone with Xinyue. The Ghillie clothes could effectively camouflage them. As long as they walked while squatting and did not need to climb. Han Gui tried it on and Xinyue could not tell that he was human even if he was dozens of meters away.

The two of them pushed the door open and ran out with their backs bent. Although they did not move fast, they were safe. Han Gui’s idea was to walk while squatting when they were closer to the airport and move into the safe zone bit by bit.

In such a situation, one could never be too cautious.

History was always written by the victors, and only the victors were praised.

Running with a bent back reduced their speed. They had run about six hundred meters within ten minutes. By the time Han Gui and the others moved into the airport, it was already the sixth cycle.

The later they got to the safe zone, the faster it refreshed. It did not change much, but it did shrink a little.

Xinyue sat next to Han Gui as they looked at the map and asked in a low voice, “Brother Han Gui, what should we do? Should we stay here?”

Han Gui felt a little troubled as he looked at the map. They were now outside the airport and the military base was ahead of them. There were asphalt roads but there was no grassland to cover them. The land in front of them was too barren.

In front of them was a tarp shelter while the police station was on the right and C Building was on their left. If they moved rashly, they might become targets.

They couldn’t pick the tarp shelter. It was too open. Making base there would be making themselves open targets. There was no cover.

Their only options were the police station and C Building.

After thinking for a while, Han Gui gritted his teeth and said, “Come on, let’s go this way!”

Xinyue saw moving dots on the tactical panel map and her eyes widened as she exclaimed, “Are we really going to go there? I’m afraid there are already people inside!”

Han Gui’s goal was C building. In PUBG, this was a place where all players fought for. Eight out of ten people would usually choose to run towards it.

However, this was not a game. Han Gui did not know exactly how many people there were.

Han Gui had thought carefully about choosing C Building. The tarp shelter was too dangerous. If the tarp shelter was not in the safe zone, he would not be able to run away.

The police station was even more dangerous. If he crossed a few hundred meters without any cover, he would definitely die.

However, C Building was different. There were two big trees behind C Building that could completely act as a cover. Moreover, the back of Building 1 was covered with grass. With their Ghillie suits, they wouldn’t have anything to worry about if they could settle themselves there.

If he and Xinyue were able to sneak into C Building, their suite of equipment would be able to fend off any enemies they encounter. Even a four-man team would not be able to hold their ground in the face of an S686, level 3 helmets, level 3 armors, and his Advanced Gun Mastery. 

Xinyue immediately understood Han Gui’s plan and reassured him.

“Don’t worry, Brother Han Gui. Xinyue is your best human shield! As long as Xinyue remains standing, Brother Han Gui will definitely be fine!”

Han Gui’s heart skipped a beat and he immediately felt dizzy. He needed to get himself together.

“Let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s go over first. You don’t have to be my human shield. I’ll probably be able to finish off those people before you fall.”

Han Gui was very glad. He had quite a lot of level 3 armor and level 3 helmets in his bag. In fact, he had at least three of each.

Han Gui was confident in their defense level against their enemies.

After fully recharging, the two of them began to crawl in parallel. The distance to their target location was quite big so they might as well crawl side by side. The chances of them being discovered were relatively small.

Two people stood in the police station, facing each other.

“Douglas, I didn’t expect us to meet under such circumstances. We should form a team. Have you thought about what happens after the game ends?”

On the right side of the window was an ordinary-looking young man with an ordinary appearance and an ordinary body besides a scar on his arm. He was the embodiment of the phrase, ‘blend in with the crowd’.

The man who stood on the opposite side looked completely different from him. The other man wore a black leather jacket, had a stern face, and sported an especially ferocious scar on his face.

He fell silent for a moment when he heard the ordinary man’s question. 

“What are you saying?”

Douglas’ words were very short and cold. But the young man did not mind as he continued to speak, completely relaxed.

“This is not such a simple place and there’s no returning home. The points awarded seemed to be quite useful though. Based on the announcement at the beginning of the game, we can probably exchange them for some pretty useful things.

“Plus, this space is very dangerous. You and I both know our strengths. Do you want to become a team like this in the future? It can be a win-win situation.”

“Sure.”.

Almost without thinking, the moment the young man finished speaking, Douglas agreed.

“Let’s get to know each other. My name is Jericho. The Wasp is my code name.”

Jericho extended his hand as he introduced himself. He was not surprised by Douglas’ response, almost as if the former had already expected it. 

Looking at Jericho’s hand, Doug put down the gun that he had been cleaning and returned the handshake.

“Pleasure working with you!”

A happy smile appeared on Jericho’s face but it was just a flash in the pan.

Han Gui did not know about the alliance between the two assassins in the police station. If he saw them, he would definitely recognize them. They were the two people he had once paid attention to in the flight cabin.

Han Gui had paid attention to them because their behaviors were too different. When everyone was panicking, only these two people remained very calm.

And that ordinary-looking young man was the only one who had spoken to Han Gui at the respawn location.

…

When they had arrived under the trees by C Building, Han Gui finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Xinyue leaned against the tree and asked, “Brother Han Gui, what should we do now?”
