Chapter 67: Sowing discord and provocation! The final battle begins! The Gunner appears!

~9 min read 1,677 words

Qi Ming said, but his smoothbore gun never lowered.

He focused intently on capturing every movement in every corner of the summit.

The three hiding on the reverse slope remained motionless under the cover of the wind and snow, like corpses.

Any slight disturbance would stimulate Qi Ming.

The distance between the two was only thirty meters, which was completely within the range of the smoothbore gun.

In the situation where Liu Wei Cheng had not yet appeared, it was a three-on-one match that looked like a crushing game.

And the traitors had two guns; no matter how you looked at it, it was an advantage.

But no one dared to gamble, and no one was willing to gamble.

Kill one and trade one; what if the one being traded was yourself?

Nan Xue Qing covered Jiang Yao's mouth, her body taut.

She was extremely nervous now, her heart about to jump out of her chest.

Adrenaline was secreting crazily, and her body even felt a bit feverish in this icy environment.

Su Yang gripped his flintlock gun tightly, ready to deal with any accidents that might occur.

"Still not coming out? I'm just one person; what are you afraid of?" Qi Ming said loudly.

At this moment, a head suddenly popped out of the snow not far away!

"Bang!"

Qi Ming was quick-witted; he didn't even consider that the person appearing might be Jiang Yao, who had the 'Rebound' talent, and fired directly.

However, after firing, he realized that what had popped its head out was only a snow rabbit.

Its body was blown to pieces, blood mixed with internal organs scattered all over the ground.

Hearing the gunshot, the three bodies trembled in unison.

The bullet was only three meters away from Su Yang's head, making his back feel cold.

He once thought he had been exposed.

"Ugh!" Jiang Yao was so scared that her face turned pale.

"Shh!" Nan Xue Qing shook her head at her with a solemn expression, signaling her not to make a sound.

Qi Ming reloaded the bullet at lightning speed and continued to aim forward, "Su Yang, is this all the courage you have? Come out and face me!"

"The Hunter and the Doctor are there too, right? You'd better be careful of the Navigator; he'll do anything to win, and there's nothing he won't do."

"If you don't believe me, you can ask how the Chef died."

Tian Yi?

Nan Xue Qing cast a curious look at Su Yang.

When they talked last night, Su Yang didn't mention the cause and effect of the Chef's death.

They only knew she perished together with the Gunner.

Facing Nan Xue Qing's gaze, Su Yang chose to ignore it.

There was nothing to explain about this kind of thing; it was only natural for traitors to deal with good guys.

"Let me tell you, Tian Yi had feelings for Su Yang, and she was played in the palm of his hand by him using those feelings; she didn't even doubt his identity before she died."

"Can you believe the words of such an inhumane guy?"

"He can backstab the Chef today, and he can backstab you tomorrow!"

"Don't forget, this is likely the last death game before the settlement. Although he is ranked high, he can't guarantee he can sit firmly in the top hundred."

"So, even if you are his traitor teammate, you will eventually die at his hands!" Qi Ming said loudly.

Low-level provocation and sowing discord.

Su Yang naturally wouldn't fall for it and rush out like a fool to fight him one-on-one.

However, Nan Xue Qing beside him didn't think so; she saw a trace of wariness in her eyes.

In her view, Su Yang's strategy and courage were terrifying.

Being teammates with such a person was of course the best, but she still had to consider the final score and the number of achievements unlocked.

Just as Qi Ming said, Su Yang was temporarily ranked ninth, and there were more than five hundred people with the same points.

If he wanted to stabilize his position in the top hundred, he had to get as many points as possible in this game.

And 'No One Survives' was a hidden achievement.

Therefore, she looked at this man who couldn't be seen through, and a faint worry grew in her heart.

Seeing that there was still no movement, Qi Ming couldn't help but suspect that they had sneaked onto the ship to cause destruction.

Now the sky was getting dark, and the sun was gradually setting.

He had to hurry up and blow up the iceberg.

Now the good guys were only one glycerin away from victory.

If the traitors didn't appear, he couldn't just drag it out like this.

After thinking for a moment, Qi Ming gritted his teeth and walked into the cave, constantly paying attention to the movements around him.

Su Yang heard the footsteps moving away and breathed a sigh of relief, "The plan proceeds as usual; make a move when he reaches the mountainside!"

Nan Xue Qing looked at him with burning eyes and said: "The Chef liked you?"

Su Yang was stunned, "Is that important?"

"Nothing, I was just asking." Nan Xue Qing stroked her hair and turned her head away.

"You wouldn't believe the Captain's ghost stories, would you? You must remember that we are on the same boat." Su Yang warned.

"I know." Nan Xue Qing nodded slightly, her eyes flickering with suspicion.

Not long after, Qi Ming carried a box of items out of the cave, with hay at the bottom and several bottles filled with brownish-red liquid on top.

"Nitroglycerin!"

Su Yang watched Qi Ming move the glycerin cautiously and laboriously, resisting the urge to strike.

Now was not the best time.

Because the nature of nitroglycerin was extremely unstable; even the slightest violent collision would lead to an explosion.

And the explosion was extremely rapid; he wasn't sure he could open the Spirit Realm to evade the moment he killed Qi Ming.

"He's going down the mountain." Nan Xue Qing said.

"Liu Wei Cheng must be hiding somewhere to support him; don't be anxious." Su Yang nodded.

"How should we arrange the skills?"

"Same as before, I'll open the fog, you summon the ghosts."

"Kill the Captain or the Gunner first?"

"Kill whoever you can; don't be stingy with bullets."

"Okay."

The plan was simply decided; Su Yang couldn't guarantee that every link in the ever-changing battlefield would go according to his own ideas.

The best way was to adapt to circumstances.

Qi Ming's footsteps were slow and steady.

It was hard to go up the mountain, and even harder to go down.

Facing the steep slope, if he was not careful and fell, the glycerin would explode immediately.

Therefore, he could only move forward bit by bit steadily, his speed as slow as a turtle crawling.

Seeing that he had gone far, Su Yang immediately followed.

"Why hasn't the Gunner appeared yet?" Nan Xue Qing was puzzled.

"He will come out after the ghosts are summoned." Su Yang said slowly.

Another hour passed, and Qi Ming finally reached the mountainside position.

During this time, he put the glycerin on the ground to rest several times.

A ray of sunset shone on the sea, revealing the sparkling water.

This scene was very beautiful, as if in a dream.

But Qi Ming had no time to appreciate it; there was only one hour left until night!

He had to blow up the iceberg within this hour and sail the ship away from here.

Time waits for no one; he had to speed up.

So he continued on his journey and quickened his pace.

"It's time!" Su Yang took out his bone knife and slashed his palm hard!

Warm blood splattered, and the familiar thick white fog appeared again, covering the entire mountain area!

Nan Xue Qing didn't hesitate and followed suit.

The Level 3 Fog and Level 3 Ghosts descended simultaneously; this was the traitors' last dance!

And also the only chance!

The next moment, roars came from all directions; some charged from the foot of the snow mountain, and some slid down from the top of the cliff.

Hearing the commotion, Qi Ming's face changed slightly; he guessed the traitors wouldn't let him go, but he didn't expect it to be at this node.

He gently placed the glycerin on the ground and drew his military sword to meet the Man-Eating Ghosts.

However, the Level 3 ghosts far exceeded Level 2 in both lethality and speed.

After Qi Ming hacked two to death, he was surrounded by Man-Eating Ghosts; his down jacket was torn into rags, and the down inside sprayed out, flying all over the sky.

"Rip!"

Sharp claws pierced his skin, embedding deeply into it.

Qi Ming felt the pain, his anger surged, and he cut off its head with two slashes.

But before he could catch his breath, his back suddenly felt cold, and the back of his head was hit by a hard object; his body staggered, almost kneeling.

Turning his head, he was shocked to find that this Man-Eating Ghost was actually throwing stones at him!

Forced by necessity, Qi Ming could only take out his smoothbore gun to solve this Man-Eating Ghost.

But just as he was reloading, five Man-Eating Ghosts swarmed up and tackled him to the ground.

A fishy stench came from their bloody mouths, making people dizzy.

Qi Ming struggled hard and couldn't help but roar: "Help me take the ghosts!"

"Bang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly walked out of the fork in the road, also holding a smoothbore gun, shooting two Man-Eating Ghosts through.

Under the gaze of the Eagle Eye, Liu Wei Cheng, who was hiding in the blind spot of the vision, walked out.

"So he really is still alive!" Su Yang narrowed his eyes, raised his flintlock gun to aim at the Gunner, and pulled the trigger! ===== CHAPTER 68 =====
