Chapter 114: Lin Yang

~7 min read 1,355 words

Lin Yang instinctively raised his Thompson submachine gun and fired wildly.

He actually tore Luo Shuangshuang in front of him to shreds, leaving her a bloody mess.

The next moment, a massive force struck him from behind.

Lin Yang stumbled and fell face-first into the dirt; before he could struggle, his hands were grabbed and tied behind his back.

When the ringing in his ears gradually faded, he heard an unfamiliar voice.

"Boss, this kid has a watch in his bag!"

"And there are actually five of them! Is he here to deliver wealth?"

"Quick, slaughter him."

Hearing this, Lin Yang's eyes widened, and he struggled fiercely, shouting: "Wait! You can't kill me; if you kill me, you won't be able to clear the game!"

Slap!

A thin man slapped his head hard and said contemptuously: "Who do you think you are? You say it won't work, so it won't? Is this game run by your family?"

Immediately after, a bright blade shone particularly dazzlingly under the sunlight.

Seeing the blade fall toward his neck, Lin Yang's pupils shrank: "In ten minutes, this place won't be a safe zone anymore; most of the players in L City have teamed up and gone to the prison. If you take the watches, you'll definitely be on a dead-end road!"

"Still spouting nonsense when death is at your doorstep; I'll cut your tongue out and see what other farts you can let out." The man sneered, pulled open Lin Yang's mouth, and shoved the knife in hard.

Just then, a strong, powerful hand grabbed the knife handle.

The man turned his head to look and asked, confused: "Boss, you don't actually believe his ghost stories, do you?"

The youth addressed as 'Boss' was quite handsome; his rugged features and high nose bridge made him look like someone who had walked out of a painting.

He didn't look very old, but he already had a few strands of white hair, making him look quite mature.

Especially his deep, melancholy eyes, which seemed capable of peering into the human heart and spying on secrets.

"Let him finish speaking."

"But the poison circle is shrinking; we don't have time to waste here."

The white-haired youth frowned, and the lackey beside him immediately put away the knife and retreated to the back, looking disgruntled.

"Continue."

Seeing that there was no murderous intent in his eyes, Lin Yang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and tightly grasped this straw of life: "You taking the watches means you've left your original camp; once the final circle appears, you will inevitably be hunted down."

"I know that without you telling me; say something of value." Impatience appeared between the white-haired youth's brows.

With his life hanging by a thread, Lin Yang wished he could grow two more mouths.

He wished he could be like Su Yang, with a tongue of flowers, fooling people left and right.

"There are at least four hundred people in the final circle, and you only have five; you have no chance of winning."

"How do you know L City isn't the final circle?" The white-haired youth asked with interest.

"Talent." Lin Yang said bluntly: "My talent can predict natural crises."

"Interesting..." The white-haired youth looked at the female corpse behind him that had been beaten into pulp and said faintly:

"As long as we don't wear the watches, the crisis you speak of won't happen."

"You're wrong to think that; some of them have the 'Scan' talent. Even if you hide and don't wear them, you'll still be found." Lin Yang said, bracing himself.

These were all things he was making up, but if he didn't do this now, he wouldn't live for five minutes.

He never expected that L City would have an ambush team, and they hadn't even joined the main force.

"You also said that taking the watches would lead to being hunted down, so why were you able to walk here safely?" The white-haired youth asked suspiciously.

"My companions covered my breakout; they were indeed hunted down, and it's hard to say if they're still alive now." Lin Yang worried secretly.

After all, he had been walking alone for over half an hour.

If Su Yang hadn't managed to escape, then his fate...

Now, he could only pray that the two of them were blessed by heaven, could dodge the pursuit, and hold out until he returned.

"Then why do you have so many watches on you?" The white-haired youth asked again.

"They asked me to find allies... Since you've got the watches, do you want to join forces with us?"

"'They' are who?"

"Leaderboard first—Su Yang; Leaderboard third—Qin Weiyang." Lin Yang said with a hint of pride.

A mysterious light flashed in the white-haired youth's eyes: "And you?"

"I'm second..." Lin Yang lacked confidence; after all, his second-place ranking wasn't earned through strength, but purely by luck.

"So you are the top three combination." The white-haired youth's mouth curled up slightly.

Seeing that he still hadn't expressed his stance, Lin Yang felt very anxious.

However, before he could continue to strive for it, the white-haired youth untied the knot on his wrist.

"Boss, you don't actually believe this kid, do you?" The thin man was stunned.

The white-haired youth ignored him, just looked at Lin Yang, and reached out: "I'll help with this favor."

What?!

So easy?

Lin Yang suddenly felt it was a bit dreamlike; he actually had a time when he could persuade others with his mouth.

He couldn't help but feel a bit proud and smug.

"Being by Su Yang's side, I actually learned a bit of the essence."

Lin Yang rubbed his wrists and reached out to shake his hand: "Alright, from now on, we are companions."

"This..."

The five people on the side were all a bit dazed.

In their impression, their boss was an extremely rational and intelligent person.

He had the qualities of a leader; he imagined the game as a sandbox, able to think of countermeasures before crises occurred and dodge them safely.

Precisely because of this, Fu An and the others had the heart to follow him.

They needed such a leader.

But now, the boss had acted out of character, agreeing to form an alliance with others.

Wasn't this jumping into a fire pit?

Fu An was about to speak when the delicate girl beside him tugged at his sleeve and whispered: "The boss has his own plans, just listen obediently."

Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment but dismissed the thought of admonishing him.

Indeed, the boss had never been wrong; perhaps the alliance was just a part of a temporary plan.

Just follow him and do it.

Anyway, the watches were already in hand; next, apart from staying alive, there were no other goals.

"This woman... how do you plan to deal with her?" The white-haired youth pointed at Luo Shuangshuang's pile of 'pulp'.

Lin Yang took two looks, found she was unrecognizable, and shook his head: "Leave her here if she's dead; she was stubborn anyway."

The white-haired youth smiled and didn't say much more.

At this moment, Fu An saw the poison circle move!

It swept across the L City port at an extremely fast speed and was rolling toward them.

"Boss, the poison has shrunk!"

"Let's go!" The white-haired youth immediately ran behind the containers.

"The safe zone is over there, why are you running that way?" Lin Yang shouted.

The five didn't explain; a moment later, two jeeps drove out.

"You have cars?" Lin Yang blinked.

The white-haired youth rested one hand on the car window and held the steering wheel with the other: "Where is the safe zone?"

"The prison!"

"Let's go!"

"Vroom!"

The car engine made a harsh sound; the white-haired youth skillfully shifted gears and stepped on the gas.

Just then, a sound suddenly came from behind Lin Yang.

"Wait!"

The six of them turned their heads in unison, only to see a body covered in fresh blood struggling to climb up.

Breathing heavily, they said hoarsely: "I'm joining, count me in!" ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
