Chapter 94

~8 min read 1,403 words

"Hahaha, feels so good, this is exactly the feeling!" Lin Yang slapped the steering wheel hard and laughed heartily.

Having been tortured by these damn game rules and players for so long, he finally felt a sense of relief!

The two adjusted their seats back to the normal position and looked at the rear at the same time.

Finding no pursuers, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"They won't give up; this is only temporary safety, we can't be careless." Su Yang drank a bottle of energy drink and said.

"With you here, what am I afraid of? The two of us together, if gods block us, we kill gods; if Buddhas block us, we kill Buddhas!" Lin Yang didn't care at all.

Su Yang looked at his high-spirited face and smiled helplessly.

He didn't know the enemy's goal, so naturally, he didn't feel much tension or crisis.

But Su Yang knew that this time the enemy was different from before; he had extremely strong deployment capabilities.

And he had the ability to command players without watches.

Just based on this point, Su Yang couldn't let his guard down.

"The safe zone is getting smaller and smaller..."

The watch showed that in this half-day, the circle had shrunk several times in a row.

If nothing unexpected happened, by 8:00 AM tomorrow, the players' living space would be reduced by half again.

The circle shrank once every hour.

Each shrinkage took about half an hour.

"Following this trend, will the final safe zone be in the prison?" Su Yang frowned tightly.

The good news was that the current safe zone was large enough, and he had enough time to ponder the next plan.

The bad news was that the safe zone was leaning more and more toward the east.

Currently, the number of surviving players had dropped to 997.

During this time, many people must have inherited the top 100 rankings.

Lin Yang was a typical example.

"If the dream comes true, then what is the mastermind plotting?" Su Yang fell into deep thought.

Su Yang had never considered himself an important character.

Besides, the players who played the game with him were all dead.

There was no such thing as revenge.

Furthermore, in the prison, he only had interactions with Lin Yang and Qin Weiyang.

He hadn't met anyone else, let alone talked to them.

And the only valuable things Su Yang had, besides his talent, were his ranking.

"Want to seize my talent?" Su Yang analyzed the first possibility.

Just like 'Devour', Zhuang Weilun tried to inherit everything of his, so he had to swallow him whole.

This was a prerequisite.

The mastermind's goal was very simple and direct—

It was to put him to death.

This obviously didn't constitute the possibility of seizing his talent.

"Since this item is excluded, then only the ranking remains..."

The position of first place on the leaderboard!

But...

There was no difference between first and one-hundredth; the points were the same, and the outcome was the same.

Just purely wanting that 'one', what was the use?

Su Yang's butt was aching from the bumps, so he shifted his position.

"Hmm?"

Just at this moment, he felt his buttocks touch a hard object.

"What is it?"

Su Yang reached in and felt around, grabbing a watch.

Lin Yang turned his head to glance at it unintentionally and was stunned, "Where did that watch come from?"

"I felt it under the seat cushion; it's probably the property of 'that man'," Su Yang said.

"Can't watches not be peeled off?" Lin Yang asked, confused.

"They can be peeled off, provided they aren't worn on the wrist."

"So he always had a watch, then why..." Lin Yang seemed to have discovered a new continent, his heart greatly shocked.

He had clearly squeezed into the top 100, yet he still wanted to kill him.

Su Yang touched the watch screen, and the previous owner's personal information lit up on it.

Name: Qi Ning

Ranking: 95

HP: 0

"It seems the guess was right..." Su Yang thought to himself.

He had racked his brains to kill the two of them, but there was no direct benefit.

The man had hidden the watch in advance to create the illusion of targeting Lin Yang.

In reality, there was another motive behind it.

Su Yang had to suspect what kind of deal he had made with the mastermind.

Lin Yang suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is it possible that this was originally placed in the car, but that guy didn't find it?"

"Do you think that's possible?" Su Yang said slowly.

Lin Yang opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping.

Indeed, he had thought of the person as too stupid.

How could someone so vigilant not check a strange vehicle?

"But why didn't he wear the watch if he had one?" Lin Yang voiced his confusion.

"Two possibilities—to confuse the enemy, to deceive teammates." Su Yang held up two fingers.

"You mean... he wanted us to think he came to grab the watch?"

"Exactly, only in this way could he perfectly cover up his true intention."

Lin Yang smelled something wrong.

Since his goal wasn't the watch, it proved it had nothing to do with him.

The revenge Su Yang mentioned earlier didn't hold up.

Thinking of this, Lin Yang suddenly realized, "I understand, their real target is you!"

Su Yang didn't speak, stroking the watch screen, his thoughts racing.

"Damn it, I thought I implicated you, but it turns out I was the one implicated!" Lin Yang felt innocent.

At first, he felt some apology toward Su Yang; after all, it was his own actions that dragged the latter into the vortex.

Now that the truth was out, it turned out he was the one being implicated?

"You are also a part of the plan," Su Yang said leisurely.

"I'm a pawn?" Lin Yang was a bit unhappy.

"You can understand it that way."

"Fuck!"

Lin Yang stepped hard on the gas pedal, and a powerful push-back force suddenly hit.

Su Yang's head hit the seat, and he said irritably, "How are you driving? Want to bump me to death?"

"It's not bad to have a seat; this broken car has been shot so many times, it's your lucky stars it didn't explode," Lin Yang said.

Su Yang clearly felt he was spouting nonsense; this car ride was like a roller coaster.

Up and down, swaying left and right.

Like it was drunk.

"Slow down, driving so fast, is there a dog chasing us from behind?" Su Yang felt more and more wrong, his brain buzzing, and his stomach churning.

"If you can, you do it."

"I don't know how to drive."

Lin Yang looked at Su Yang's handsome, sharp-angled profile with surprise.

He never expected that someone who seemed omnipotent didn't even have a driver's license.

"My time was spent in the library; I didn't have time to learn," Su Yang said, ignoring his playful gaze.

"You? Library?" Lin Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You can fool your buddies, but don't fool yourself."

"I don't think you were soaking in the library, but soaking up girls."

Su Yang didn't respond; this kind of thing would only get more outrageous the more it was discussed.

"Aren't there many pretty girls in college? Is my type popular?" Lin Yang asked curiously, his heart itching.

"Stop talking nonsense, drive your car."

"Tell me, there's no one else here, why are you so nervous?"

"You..." Su Yang just opened his mouth when he suddenly saw a rock blocking the road on the downhill slope ahead, his pupils shrinking suddenly, "Watch the road!"

Lin Yang turned his head with a smile, his expression changed suddenly, and he slammed the steering wheel.

The car grazed past the rock, skidded during the high-speed downhill, the whole body tilted at ninety degrees, and suddenly rolled downward.

"Clang!"

The car kept spinning and jumping, rolled down a hundred-meter steep slope, and finally landed heavily with a loud bang.

The jeep was near falling apart, the doors were dented, the glass was all shattered, and the bullet-riddled body was even more tattered and unbearable to look at.

"Cough, cough..."

The passenger door was kicked away, and a dusty figure crawled out from it.

"Driving a perfectly good car into this state, you really are a genius, damn it."
