Chapter 327: Chapter 186 Crouch Kill_3

It was only afterward that Lin Wu realized that Nightmare still had reserves. Fortress Hunters had a dedicated channel, and they had every chance to relay a message to others before death, simply by saying that the spring was occupied, and the rest would come immediately to wipe out Lin Wu at the spring.

Why didn’t this happen? Because they usually carried only two Golden Resurrection Cards, and their first death was unexpected. Although they had plenty of time to think while waiting for resurrection, they didn’t want to inform others, since Lin Wu was not their competitor.

Who knows how long had passed when suddenly the Beast Trap activated, startling Lin Wu. In a fluster, he reached for his gun, only to see a sorrowful-looking Nightmare standing at the door. Lin Wu laughed and put his gun away, "The supply point can heal injuries."

"How many did you kill?"

"Nightmare and Blood Meng, and some no-name trash."

Nightmare looked pleased and praised, "Well done."

"And you?"

Nightmare gave a thumbs-up and left, everything said without words. With Wind Stinger’s help, Nightmare wreaked havoc, always ambushing from the most fitting positions. Player teams were not military units, after all, so their vigilance and endurance were limited. Nightmare came back to resupply ammo, having fired hundreds of rounds, which indicated her bountiful harvest.

No sooner had Nightmare left than Lin Wu started to reap rewards as well, taking down two more people in quick succession. Blood Meng twice, Nightmare twice, unnamed extras once each, and two NPCs, totaling eight kills, 1600 points.

Something was not right. NPCs wouldn’t necessarily come to the spring, and deducting Nightmare, there were only 9 Hunters left. According to the resurrection rules, only 5 Hunters remained now, and Lin Wu could only score another thousand points. To earn points, he had to kill NPCs, who were likely getting hungry by now.

Lin Wu set a tripwire at a fork in the path, and soon after departing from the supply point, Nightmare saw the wire upon reaching the spring. The two met, and Lin Wu said, "Send Maya back. Peanut alone is enough to play the spy." It would be easier for two to deal with NPCs.

After thinking for a while, Nightmare replied, "I don’t think so. Happy hunting, goodbye."

Damn girl!

All Lin Wu could do was to brace himself. He moved a table and a chair aside to clear a Wind Stinger path. Now, his hope was that NPCs wouldn’t come together and that resurrected players and NPCs wouldn’t appear at the same time. Although in theory, the chances of these two scenarios happening were low, Lin Wu had a bad feeling, always suspecting that Dawn was out to get him.

True to the saying "good plans fail, but ill ones flourish," an NPC stepped on the Beast Trap. Lin Wu struck with Wind Stinger, finishing it with a Double Point Shoot. At that moment, a Hunter respawned at the spring. Lin Wu saw the player’s back to him, quietly laid the NPC down on the ground, and waited. Hungry after what seemed like a long time, the Hunter first noticed the food and moved towards the pastry section after a 5-second resurrection timer. Watching his stamina bar, Lin Wu suddenly launched forward, killing with a two-stage Wind Stinger.

Suddenly, Lin Wu heard the sound of the Beast Trap behind him—another NPC had arrived. He stabbed the player to death with two strikes and then fell to the ground, using the height of the spring pool to conceal himself. Wai bravely charged in but encountered a tough opponent who kicked Wai away with a foot.

Lin Wu didn’t see this happen. Hoping Wai would distract the opponent, he got up, ready to claim their life, and they opened fire almost simultaneously. Without dodge or cover, at a distance of 6 meters. Lin Wu’s advantage was that only his upper body was the target, so, unsurprisingly, the NPC died.

But Lin Wu didn’t get away unscathed—he lost his forehead guard and took two shots, bleeding out at 5 points per second. A Strength Star would’ve increased his life, but Lin Wu had no such bonus, only the basic 100 points of health. Taking 60 points of damage from the NPC shots was a minor issue, but bleeding out at 5 points per second was a serious problem.
