Chapter 362: Chapter 279: The Final Battle Begins_2

"..." The other two remained silent, simply accepting Wen Huaxin’s words.

"However," Wen Huaxin added, "just to be safe, we need to try and stay as far away from Xiao Yi and his group as possible. We must avoid any confrontations with them at all costs. As long as we ensure that, when the final moment comes, we have more Cores than they do, we’ll be fine."

"...I understand." Both nodded in agreement, having no objections.

...

What they didn’t know, however, was that at that moment, Wen Huaxin was feeling fearful.

Just now, he had used his ability, and the result he obtained was that they were still able to win, just like the results he had gotten previously.

The problem was, the previous results indicated that Sheraya would die, but reality had not proceeded as he had hoped.

Wen Huaxin noticed no anomalies, which meant that he was unable to detect them!

This meant that there were factors he couldn’t control!

Something that had once been certain was now ambiguous! Undoubtedly, for Wen Huaxin, who liked to have everything firmly under control, this uncertainty was a devastating blow!

Therefore, he felt fear.

"What should I do?" Wen Huaxin murmured softly to himself, in a voice only he could hear.

Apart from keeping as far away as possible from Xiao Yi and his group, who could cause such anomalies, he didn’t know what else to do.

...

Meanwhile, on Xiao Yi’s side, Xiao Yi and Fei Ye had slept until dawn.

After waking up, they yawned and walked out the door only to see Sheraya who hadn’t slept all night but was still spirited and even seemed a bit excited.

"Good morning, you two," Sheraya said with an excited smile. "Did you sleep well last night?"

Fei Ye: "...Huh? Why are you so excited this early in the morning? Are you okay?"

Xiao Yi: "Ah... uh? Are you alright? You haven’t taken anything you shouldn’t have, right?"

"Ah, don’t worry, I’m fine," Sheraya reassured them, smiling. "It was just an enemy attack last night."

Xiao Yi: "?"

Fei Ye: "?"

"Don’t worry," Sheraya continued with a smile. "I managed to drive them off, and moreover, I got not one but two Cores!"

At that, Sheraya eagerly took out the two Cores and showed them to Xiao Yi and Fei Ye.

Their reaction was...

Fei Ye: "Oh."

Xiao Yi: "Hmm."

...

Then, the three of them fell into silence.

"...Eh?" Sheraya was taken aback. "Is that it? Don’t you have anything else to say?"

"Uh..." Fei Ye responded, somewhat annoyed. "So you mean to say, you fought off that enemy by yourself? Wow, so impressive~"

Xiao Yi, completely oblivious to Sheraya’s thoughts, then said:

"So... what are we eating this morning?"

"..." Sheraya fell silent again. The little confidence he had just regained seemed to dissipate once more.

"Hehe... right, it’s just two Cores after all. Even though I exhausted all my strength and narrowly escaped death to get them, they really mean nothing to them..."

"Sheraya, what are you still doing..." Xiao Yi said, "Stop crouching there with your head down, come over and let’s find something to eat."

Sheraya: "Yes..."

In short, with this battle achievement, Sheraya was no longer as burdened with concerns as before.

Afterwards, the actions of Xiao Yi and his team did not encounter anything worth mentioning.

The enemies they met were relatively easy to deal with, and they could defeat them and take their Cores without much effort.

Thus, for Xiao Yi and his team, the more difficult task was finding the enemies rather than dealing with them.

As expected from the beginning, the total number of people in the instance was just over a hundred, and as the final days approached, the fewer the people, the harder it was to encounter enemies.

Moreover, some chose to hide in safe zones to spend their last moments.

Therefore, day after day of searching yielded little to nothing, and it was normal not to find anything at all.

But at the same time, time was unstoppable.

Days passed, and soon, Xiao Yi and his team had spent twenty-nine days in Ruined City.

Only a little bit of time remained until the final moment.

As for the number of Cores Xiao Yi and his team had obtained so far...

"Forty-five Cores?"

On a relatively secluded path, Sheraya emerged from the sewer, closed the manhole cover, then opened the bag he had been holding, looked at the Cores inside, counted them, and spoke out the number.

"Adding the Cores recovered from the sewer, the total is forty-five. To be honest, this number is a bit subtle, but it’s not too few." Sheraya continued to Xiao Yi and Fei Ye standing beside him, "Forty-five Cores. If we consider the Cores that will be used in the safe zones, this number should already be close to half of the total."

"Maybe it’s even more than half," Fei Ye said. "In that case, we might be the team with the most Cores."

"Quite optimistic, but...ah, wait a minute." Xiao Yi began to calculate complexly in his mind, "I remember you told me that there were just over a hundred participants this time, so there are just over a hundred Cores in total, and half of that is... just over fifty Cores. Fifty minus forty-five equals...uh, ten and five cancel each other out leaving four, so it equals four. Indeed, that’s close to half. So, we can be a bit more optimistic."

Fei Ye: "..."

Sheraya: "..."

After a moment of silence, Fei Ye coughed lightly and said:

"Let’s not discuss that. In short, today is the twenty-ninth day, and it’s almost the thirtieth day. For that fellow named Wen Huaxin, it’s the final time."

"Mm..." Sheraya nodded. "Then, our final plan should also be advanced."

"Exactly." Fei Ye said solemnly, "The time to settle scores with them has finally come."

"The last question is...how to find them," Sheraya asked. "There’s not much time left. Can we find them before their final moment?"

"Hm? No need to specifically look for them," Fei Ye said. "What we need to do is just let them come to us."

"Come to us themselves? Why?" Sheraya was startled, then realized, "Oh! Indeed, we just need to wait for them to come to us!"

Fei Ye nodded and explained, "Although it’s almost the thirtieth day, fortunately, as we have seen, there are still several teams left, and they choose to hide in the safe zones to spend the last few moments, which means they still have a sufficient amount of Cores.

Since there are only so many total Cores, and since we almost have half of them, the other teams have to divide the rest, which naturally means each of them gets even fewer. Wen Huaxin’s team can have at most the same number of Cores as us, and more likely less.

So, if they want to win, their only option is to target us, the only ones still outside the safe zone."

"I see." But Sheraya shook his head, "Being optimistic is indeed like that, but I still feel it’s too optimistic, they might not..."

"Oh, they’re here."

"...Ah?"

As Fei Ye had predicted, Wen Huaxin’s team of three appeared before them, openly and honestly.

The final battle in Ruined City was about to begin.
