The four hid behind a sculpture. Kathleen set up a sniper rifle and looked at the tall buildings in the distance. She was afraid that someone would climb up the tall buildings and deal with them from up top, but she found nothing.
Feeling a little worried, she said softly: “I always feel that there may be someone on the top of the building. In this mode, there are often snipers hiding in high places.”
Luo Fei thought for a while and said, “Let me take a look.”
He picked up the binoculars and looked at the tall buildings in the distance. Sure enough, there was a man in a black military uniform hiding on the tall buildings, but that man was very sharp, and he immediately ducked after showing his head.
Luo Fei said: “There are indeed people, and they’re also a master. Let’s not go out for now, the surroundings will definitely be chaotic later.”
Mo Han nodded in agreement: “We’ll go out and close the net once things calm down.”
Players who dare play nightmare mode have two paths. Of the hundreds of players who spawn, apart from those who are eliminated by zombies, there will be at least dozens of people who reach the fountain square.
In this mode, the sooner people come out, the faster they die.
Finding a good hiding spot is key. The spot Mo Han found was particularly good. Behind them is a wall, which will prevent them from being attacked from behind. Two statues over five meters high nearby also provide cover, which can help block any snipe shots.
All they have to do now is to bide their time.
Soon, there was a mess of gunshots not far away. Luo Fei heard the sound of pistols, submachine guns, and the footsteps of many people. Several teams should have been dealing with zombies near the safe zone, and ended up bumping into each other.
After a while, the gunfire stopped, and the surroundings returned to silence.
Startled by the gunshots, a group of birds flapped their wings and flew over the city.
The gloomy, dark skies and howling winds added a bit of chill to the dilapidated doomsday city.
Luo Fei looked at Mo Han, who was looking around with binoculars with a serious expression. The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, and the profile of his face was smooth and graceful.
If it wasn’t for the wrong time and scene, Luo Fei really wanted to kiss him.
Suppressing this passionate impulse, Luo Fei used the other set of binoculars to observe carefully.
There was another gunshot. This time, there were only two bangs, followed by the screams of two players after they fell to the ground.
This person’s marksmanship is very accurate. They were obviously hiding in the dark and after observing the opponent’s position, directly came out with two shots to deal with it.
——The player [ACT] killed the player [This game is so difficult], scoring 34 points.
——The player [DOGDOG] killed the player [This game is fun], scoring 35 points.
——The number of remaining players in the safety zone, 10 players.
This system text prompt popped up in the field of vision of all players.
ACT was proud, but at the next moment, two puffs of bullets suddenly flew through the sky, piercing his chest!
——The player [Hunter] killed the player [ACT], scoring 54 points.
——The player [Hunter] killed the player [DOGDOG], with 55 points.
——The number of remaining players in the safety zone, 8 players.
Seeing four reminders pop up in a row, even Mo Han couldn’t help but frown. “Is this Hunter the sniper hiding upstairs?”
Luo Fei nodded: “It’s him.”
This sniper is unusually strong, and has seized the most favorable sniping position in advance.
He is like a true hunter, standing on a high place and watching countless prey playing games.
The feeling is creepy.
Mo Han said: “If we want to be the last team alive, we must get rid of him.”
Of the 7 other players, Luo Fei and his team have 4 people. They don’t know if the sniper is fighting alone or with a team, but if they get rid of him, their chances of winning will be greatly increased.
It’s just that they’re hiding in a high place, and it is impossible for them to come out from behind the statue to kill him easily. Once they come out, they will become living targets waiting to be sniped.
At this moment, two players ran towards the statue where Luo Fei and the others were hiding. Mo Han had sharp eyesight, raised his left and right hands at the same time, and quickly pulled the trigger with his fingers, killing each of them with one shot.
This clean and neat movement is so handsome that Luo Fei couldn’t help exclaiming: “Beautiful!”
Mo Han smiled slightly.
——The player [MH] killed the player [passerby B].
——The player [MH] killed the player [ICE].
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of a sniper rifle, and another system message popped up.
——The player [Hunter] killed the player [He is my boyfriend].
——The player [Hunter] killed the player [I am his boyfriend].
——The remaining number of people in the safety zone, 5 people.1I double/triple checked the raws, which show system announcements at 10 → 8 → 5 people. Author probably messed up the numbers. Regardless it’s just the 4 ppl team and the 1 Hunter now
Frank felt chills in his heart, and couldn’t help saying: “My God, it seems that this Hunter is fighting alone! The remaining 5 people, isn’t it our team plus him?”
A piercing system alarm suddenly sounded in their ears: “The safe zone is about to shrink. A zombie wave has surrounded you! Please eliminate the last enemy to become the King of the Jungle!”
When the number of remaining players is small, in order to prevent some players from hiding in hard-to-find corners such as toilets and delaying time, the safe area will shrink, driving players to a face-to-face confrontation until the last player or team is left, and a winner is determined.
Their hiding spot will soon be swallowed up by zombies.
They need to figure out a way to deal with the guy upstairs, otherwise once they show up, they will be sniped.
Thinking of this, Mo Han turned his head to Luo Fei and asked, “How is your sniping?”
Luo Fei replied honestly: “It’s okay.”
Mo Han said: “Then I’ll go out and lure him out. You seize the right moment to kill him.”
Luo Fei was stunned, and suddenly there was a warm and surging emotion in his heart. He never expected Mo Han to use this method, using himself as a bait, and leaving victory or defeat in Luo Fei’s hands. This proved his trust in him.
Being trusted by someone he likes so much, Luo Fei’s eyes couldn’t help but heat up. He looked at Mo Han seriously and said, “Do you believe me?”
Mo Han smiled: “Of course. But you only have one chance and less than 10 seconds.”
Luo Fei nodded vigorously: “I will seize this opportunity.” He lightly shook Mo Han’s hand and said, “Be careful.”
Mo Han asked Kathleen to hand over the sniper rifle to Luo Fei, took a deep look at Luo Fei, and ran out from behind the statue.
At that moment, Luo Fei only felt that his heart was about to stop beating.
On the tall building in the distance, the player “Hunter” will definitely shoot Mo Han with his sniper rifle if he runs out like this.
Although this is just a game, Luo Fei felt extremely uncomfortable at the thought of Mo Han being shot.
He must not let Mo Han be shot to death right under his nose.
Luo Fei took a deep breath and entered a state of full concentration.
The surroundings became quiet in an instant. He set up his sniper rifle, hid behind the statue, adjusted the angle, and aimed at the tall building.
After Mo Han got out from behind the statue, he began to run quickly. It’s much more difficult to shoot a moving person than a stationary one. In addition, Mo Han’s S-shaped running route was particularly skillful. It took a bit of time for the sniper to take aim.
It’s just a few seconds!
Luo Fei opened the scope directly, aimed at the guy who emerged from the tall building, and calmly pulled the trigger.
At the same time, the people on the tall building also aimed at the moving Mo Han and pulled the trigger.
The bullets in the two sniper rifles shot out at the same time with a “poof”, and there was a sharp sound of bullets piercing through the air!
The bullet pierced the sky through the cold wind, leaping thousands of meters, and accurately hit the head of the opposing player!
As for the other bullet, Mo Han suddenly fell to the ground the moment Luo Fei fired, so he was only shot in the calf and not eliminated.
——The player [Mr. F] killed the player [Hunter].
——The player team of [MH], [Mr. F], [Handsome for three seconds], [Queen of Hunt] all survived and have successfully cleared the zombie siege (nightmare mode).
——After 30 seconds, you will be sent out of the secret realm, please remember to receive your reward for clearing the secret realm.
Luo Fei threw down the gun, ran out excitedly to Mo Han’s side at a speed of 100 meters, gently supported him, and said in a trembling voice: “Are you okay?”
His heart almost jumped out of his chest seeing Mo Han being shot, but fortunately he was not shot to death.
Mo Han’s calf was bleeding continuously, and the sharp pain of being pierced by the bullet spread all over his body.
The pain in this game is extremely realistic, he must be very uncomfortable.
Luo Fei was about to go crazy with distress. He immediately took out ointment from his pocket to help him stop the bleeding, but Mo Han calmly stopped him. “It’s okay, the game is almost over. I’ll just wait until we’re teleported out”
Luo Fei said, “But you’ll still be in pain.”
Regardless of Mo Han’s obstruction, he forcibly wrapped Mo Han’s calf with gauze, and applied pain-relieving ointment to the wound.
Mo Han’s pain eased.
The Mr. F with the default system face looked very anxious. Seeing him bandaging his wound so seriously, Mo Han couldn’t help smiling lightly, and teased “I’m the one who’s hurt, so why do you look so nervous?”
Luo Fei thought to himself, I am nervous because I like you, you’re the person I want to protect the most!
Seeing him get hurt, even if it’s a little bit, made him a hundred times worse than being hurt himself. He wanted to rip the guy who shot the bullet into pieces.
But before he could say those words, the system sent them out of the secret realm.
Then, Luo Fei received a message from Mo Han: “Nice to meet you, you’re a great teammate. I’m going offline first. Let’s play together again when there’s a chance in the future.”
Luo Fei: “…”
Ahhh, he really wanted to explode on the spot.
Does it mean that Mo Han also has some affection for him? Should he go downstairs and run three laps?
No, Luo Fei — he just admires/respects you for being a teammate. He doesn’t know it’s you yet. 🤦♂️
