Chapter 48: Do You Dare to Drink with Me?

Just as expected.

Su Meng's face was ashen, looking very unpleasant.

But seeing the look of anticipation on Chu Tiantian's face, Su Meng, who had wanted to refuse, hesitated repeatedly before finally choosing to compromise.

The sun was scorching.

Watching the slow progress of the queue numbers.

Chu Tiantian's eyes darted around, and she suggested, "Why don't we play a game?"

Su Meng: "What game do you want to play?"

"Chicken dinner, of course." Chu Tiantian raised her phone and looked at everyone, "You all know how to play, right?"

Hearing about playing a game, the homebody Fu Hai immediately changed into a different person, becoming full of energy: "Yes, yes, yes, I know how!"

Shen Huai also nodded: "That's a good suggestion."

Su Meng had just wanted to open her mouth to refuse, but unexpectedly, Chu Tiantian directly exposed her: "We all follow Su Meng; I always see her online, she's really good at sniping!"

"Oh, is that so?" Shen Huai raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

"Then let Su Meng be the team leader. Quick, quick, quick, let's form a team." Fu Hai rubbed his hands in anticipation.

At this moment.

Su Meng's heart felt as if it were blocked, and she was speechless.

Chu Tiantian was simply a terrible teammate; she couldn't be carried.

Had she just sold herself out like this?

She had still wanted to pretend to be a gaming novice to trick Fu Hai into showing some gentlemanly conduct in the game.

Now it was ruined; her plan had been broken again.

Su Meng shook her head helplessly.

She took out her phone to create a group face-to-face, and after all four people entered the team, Su Meng clicked start.

Considering that Chu Tiantian had only been playing this game for a short while and was unskilled but addicted.

Su Meng decided to set the parachute landing spot at those few scattered wooden houses by the sea.

As soon as she landed, Su Meng began scavenging for equipment at lightning speed.

The tragic result was.

The place where she landed, apart from a Level 1 Armor and a Frying Pan, only had some useless Bandages.

Su Meng frowned slightly, and just as she was carrying the Frying Pan and preparing to climb through the window to jump into another room.

A sudden exclamation from Chu Tiantian reached her ears!

"Ah! Someone! Someone is shooting at me!" Chu Tiantian held her phone in a panic, her whole body swaying left and right along with the gyroscope.

"Where, where! I'm coming!"

Hearing Chu Tiantian's cry for help, Fu Hai didn't even have time to scavenge for equipment; he picked up a Handgun from the ground and sprinted toward Chu Tiantian's direction.

"Here! I've been knocked down..." Chu Tiantian lay on the ground, struggling to crawl to the corner of the house.

Fu Hai hurried over to revive her.

Shen Huai also came at the sound, and with quick eyes and fast hands, he fired several shots toward the tree shade not far away.

"It's fine now." Shen Huai said calmly, "That one just now should have been a bot."

"A bot?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Tiantian immediately felt a bit embarrassed: "Can bots even knock people down?"

"If you stand there like a wooden stake without moving, even a Frying Pan could knock you down." Su Meng retorted irritably.

"..." Chu Tiantian pouted, her cheeks turning red.

"It's okay, Tian Tian, with me here, you won't die."

Fu Hai honestly rummaged through his backpack for all his medical supplies, "Take all of these; I'll go find you a good gun in a moment."

"... Thank you." Chu Tiantian was so moved she was about to cry.

Su Meng was also about to be moved to speechlessness.

Once the scavenging was finished, the four-person team set off again.

The Poison Circle was closing in, and the new Safe Zone was still a long way from their current position.

Shen Huai found a car by the side of the road and honked the horn at them: "Princess, please get in the car."

"Smooth talker."

Su Meng glared at Shen Huai, but her movement to jump into the car was very smooth.

"Hey, hey, hey, there's a crate over there." Fu Hai suddenly exclaimed, and without waiting for Shen Huai to react, he jumped out of the car at lightning speed and ran toward the box impatiently.

"Holy crap, so many good things! x Scope! Med Kit! Level 3 Helmet, Level 3 Armor! I'm rich!"

Fu Hai was picking things up with great delight.

"Hurry back!" Shen Huai sensed something was wrong.

The words had barely left his mouth.

The next moment.

Gunfire from all directions turned Fu Hai into a sieve.

He hadn't even warmed up the Level 3 equipment before it became someone else's delivery. "Ah! How are there so many people?! It's so open, how can people hide here? I didn't hear a single footstep!!"

Fu Hai was on the verge of tears.

And Shen Huai didn't have time to explain; he immediately hid behind the car to set up his gun and counterattack.

"A bunch of Phantom Tanks, sneaky bastards." Su Meng also cursed under her breath.

It was just a pity that she only had a Shotgun in her hand now, which really limited her operations.

"Me! How did I die again! Who shot me!" Chu Tiantian threw her phone onto the table in anger.

She followed Shen Huai and Su Meng as they jumped out of the vehicle to take cover.

As it turned out, just because she was a second too slow, she was sniped.

"Don't be mad, don't be mad. How about I go buy you a bowl of shaved ice to cool off?" Fu Hai, who had been the first to be eliminated, immediately leaned in to comfort her.

"You're so bad at this, don't talk!"

Chu Tiantian puffed out her cheeks in defiance, "Mengmeng, you two must avenge me!"

"Shh."

Shen Huai made a slight gesture for silence, his gaze shifting toward Su Meng, "There are footsteps; they're coming over."

Su Meng received the signal and nodded in tacit understanding.

The footsteps grew closer and closer.

Just as the opponents came over to loot the crates.

Shen Huai suddenly turned sideways and swept across, rushing over to unleash a barrage of fire! In the span of a single breath.

Four glowing green boxes instantly appeared on the ground.

"Holy crap, Shen Huai, the way you rush with a gun is so cool! Can you teach me?" Chu Tiantian let out an exclamation of genuine admiration.

Hearing this, Fu Hai's expression dimmed significantly, and his demeanor became very uncomfortable.

He had originally wanted to show off his skills in front of the person he liked, but instead of showing off his technique, he had made a fool of himself right at the start.

It was simply miserable.

Shen Huai naturally sensed Fu Hai's frustration.

He was here to help him pursue the girl, after all; it would be bad if he ended up putting the cart before the horse.

Thus, Shen Huai smiled and shook his head: "Actually, I only play occasionally; that was pure luck just now."

"... Tch, what a fake," Su Meng muttered under her breath extremely quietly.

Even though the environment was noisy, Su Meng's grumbling was very soft.

But since Shen Huai's ears were sharp, these three words still landed firmly in his ears.

However, Shen Huai was not annoyed; instead, his smile grew even wider: "Compared to me, being able to reach the Final Circle with just a Frying Pan and a Handgun is indeed more impressive."

Su Meng caught the sarcasm in Shen Huai's words and was so angry she wanted to walk out on the spot.

"Number A48, where is number A48?" At the entrance, the caller pulled on his throat and shouted loudly while holding an electric megaphone.

"Me! I'm here!"

Fu Hai excitedly raised his hand high, and after repeatedly confirming the number tag in his hand, he hurriedly beckoned to everyone: "Stop playing, it's our turn!"

"Hurry in, don't let someone else snatch it!"

Everyone put away their phones and followed the waiter to the table.

Several waiters nimbly cleaned up the trash from the previous table and laid out a brand-new disposable plastic tablecloth.

After Shen Huai handed the pre-ordered menu to the waiter, everyone finally sat down at ease.

The square hot pot table was just right for one person to sit on each side.

The four of them, who had still had things to talk about outside, found the atmosphere becoming awkward once they were sitting down properly.

The atmosphere at the neighboring tables was one more lively than the next.

It made their table seem even more dry and awkward by contrast.

Watching the others sweating profusely while eating heartily and happily.

Shen Huai gave a light cough and spoke cautiously: "It will take some time for the dishes to be served; should we order some drinks?"

"Sure."

Su Meng took over the conversation, stared straight at Shen Huai, and waved her hand grandly: "Waiter, bring four cases of beer."

???? The three of them were instantly stunned.

How many?

Four cases?

"Are you crazy? Can you drink that much?" Shen Huai's eyes darkened, feeling that Su Meng was deliberately causing trouble.

Unexpectedly.

Su Meng retorted with disdain: "My luck was bad just now, and my equipment wasn't as good as yours."

"Shen Huai, do you dare to challenge me to a drinking contest?"
