Cargo Ship at Sea (1)

“Not stopping them?” a person wearing LGW’s uniform asked in a corner outside the training room.

Another person wearing the same LGW uniform hiding in the dark, gaze settling on the person that surprised everyone, muttered, “Wait a bit longer.”

……

In apocalypse, all power that pursued life ruled.

Just as the name implied, Cargo Ship at Sea was a huge cargo ship that remained at the sea.

When this map opened, all players would be thrown to the bottom of the ship. Between the fighting and the idle time, water would gradually seep into the hull sinking the ship. Everyone alive must look for the exit and enter the next floor’s compartment.

After killing their way out to the deck floor by floor, the victor still had to fetch a canoe to escape within the provided time. Only then the escape task was completed.

During this time, players had to take note of the water leakage time while clearing the enemies and constantly guarding against the fish zombies that entered from the leak.

The position Xue Lan was allocated to was not bad. After landing and clearing up the nearby enemies, he started to feel his way to the center of the compartment.

The bottommost compartment had nine exits, the next storey had three exits, and the topmost leading to the deck only had one.

Xue Lan did not shoot recklessly. Throughout, he avoided the firing range, cautiously walking behind everyone and sneakily gathering points, blending in.

Seeing that the pursuing fish zombies that everyone was avoiding had all reached the compartment, the people who were not playing looked at the names in the survival window that could only be seen in the viewing area. They noticed Xue Lan’s figure among the ten-odd people.

Seventh place.

He actually could survive for such a long time…Although their disrespect toward this female streamer had pretty much dissipated, it was merely the seventh place…

Only one person would be the victor of the survival match.

In their eyes, Xue Lan seemed to survive until now only due to carelessness. After all, although he had climbed up one storey, the number of kills of the top six greatly exceeded his.

Facing six almost-professional players with such a large difference in points, practically everyone thought Xue Lan would undoubtedly lose this match—

“This Xue Lan…I thought she suddenly changed her gender and come here because of Apocalypse, thought he’s really a master assaulter…looks like he’s just so-so…”

Wen Yan’s figure was hidden in the shadow outside the glass wall. From the beginning, his eyes stayed on a monitor displaying the match.

“Didn’t you realize, others can finish him off with three shots while he, in the situation where he doesn’t fire a headshot, needs at least five shots?”

That person did not understand. “What then?” Doesn’t this kind of three-versus-five shots clearly tell the difference in strength?

Wen Yan glanced at him as if he disapproved of his sloppy conclusion from not watching carefully.

“It’s the gun.”

“The gun?”

“Mm.” Wen Yan sternly nodded. “His gun doesn’t have attachments, chips, plugs, and the numerical value of his energy is all wrong.”

“What?!”

Struck speechless, that person looked at Xue Lan again. This time, he realized Xue Lan’s assaulter account was indeed strange.

“But…but even if that’s the case, his points can’t surpass the other six people, and there are still eight nine people closely gaining on his points…”

“How could you forget.”

Wen Yan’s gaze settled on Xue Lan among the row of seats. His shyness when speaking with people had long subsided. In this stake of losing and leaving the training camp, his expression instead was more unflustered and calm.

“Points may be important in Apocalypse, but staying alive is the key to winning.”

That person shifted his attention toward Xue Lan again in shock. He scratched his head out of embarrassment. “Well…even if you’re interested in him it’s useless, our team doesn’t need an assaulter.”

Wen Yan’s attention still stayed on Xue Lan who was sitting not far from them. When Wen Yan’s teammate thought he probably wouldn’t answer him, Wen Yan muttered, “The situation is not certain yet, how do you know…our assaulter positions will forever stay occupied?”

His teammate froze.

“Assaulter? Taking whose place? Me or Meng Qi? And you dare to put her in the club? You’re not scared she will enter your room at night…”

He had not finished his words when Wen Yan’s cold gaze made him shut his mouth.

He turned away and laughed. “Yan-ge, I know that Sun Haoshan’s retirement dealt you a large blow these few years, but we’ve all come this far. Whether it’s me or Meng Qi, we will always follow you. As long as the three of us are still here, LGW is still the old LGW!”

Wen Yan didn’t say anything.

“Why is that boy Duan Wenzheng not here yet?” As if he was used to Wen Yan being unresponsive, he looked away and searched for Duan Wenzheng’s figure among the crowd. “This boy has never been reasonable since he was young, but he is a really capable sniper, though I didn’t expect the sniper you spoke of to be him…”

However, Wen Yan’s expression suddenly changed.

“It’s starting.”

The teammate followed his line of sight and landed his gaze on Xue Lan—

Only to see the remaining ten-odd people had met and started clashing fires. Yet Xue Lan…put away his gun as he hid in the dark watching the conflict.

Wen Yan’s teammate followed his line of sight and saw this scene. In disapproval, he frowned and wanted to say something, but then saw Xue Lan lift his rifle.

“He’s…”

“The remainder of these four people’s HP is already below forty percent, which means in the situation where every shot hits, he only needs two shots to kill in one go.”

“This…but, four people, if they aim their target on him…”

Wen Yan did not answer, focusing his attention on Xue Lan again.
