Chapter 50: Island Battle Royale
Thirty or so people walked out of the room at the bottom of the tower and walked for dozens of minutes, and they saw a vast coastline and a passenger ship docked at the only wooden pier on the coast, which had been prepared for a long time. "Is that the island?" The examinee looked at the island about dozens of miles away and asked.
"yes, not much nonsense." The glasses examiner points to a box in front of the pier. "First of all, the lottery."
"Lottery?"
"What are you drawing lots for?"
"Is it to decide what order?"
The candidates talked about it again, but according to Lieber's instructions, everyone took out a blank piece of paper with a number printed on it, and hid it close to their bodies...... "This lottery...... It's the decision between the 'prey' and the 'hunter'......" After everyone had finished drawing, Lieber smiled sinisterly.
"This lottery box will record the numbers you have drawn, and then there will be thirty-four numbers in the box, which correspond to the numbers on your body. Now, I'm going to introduce the rules of the competition, so please listen carefully......"
"First of all, the candidate corresponding to the number on the card in your hand is your prey, and of course, you will also be the prey of others. You have to snatch the number plate from your prey, and of course there is no limit to the means and means...... At the same time, you must also keep your number plate. Then, the rules of this test, 1, snatch the prey's number plate 3 points; 2. Keep your own number plate for 3 points; 3. 1 point for other people's number plates; You will stay on the island for a week, we will not provide any supplies, after a week, we will send a boat to meet you, of course, only those who have a score of 6 and are alive will be able to become the victor and move on to the next stage. Do you all understand......"
Spectacle Island, as the name suggests, is a small island shaped like sunglasses, the size of a small city, with dense jungles and a complex ecosystem. The nearest mainland is also a two-hour boat ride...... Of course, these are not the main points, the key is that the task of this fourth hunter exam is very difficult......
3 points for snatching the number plate of the prey; 3 points for their own number plate; 1 point for someone else's number plate. This requires you to either snatch the prey's numberplate or snatch the numberplate of 3 other candidates in order to get 6 points, and at the same time protect your own numbered plate from becoming the prey. This means that everyone but you will become your enemy. It could attack you at any time...... A veritable island battle royale.
"Very good, the signing number you took has been recorded by the machine." After the candidates have taken their respective cards. The spectacle examiner explained to them: "Remember the number on your sign, which represents the prey of the candidates!" ”
Just two sentences dismantled the friendship and cooperation between most of the candidates. After the examiner spoke, the hunter candidates suddenly became uneasy, and they all looked around, anyone around them could be a hunter staring at them, and the atmosphere of distrust and hostility quickly spread among the hunter candidates.
In such a situation where everyone is invincible, and there are no restrictions on the means, it is no longer an easy thing to survive safely for seven days, let alone other ......
And because each person has a minimum of 6 points to have the right to qualify, even in the most ideal case, there can only be a dozen candidates at most. And this is still a theoretical value, considering that if your prey is killed by someone else and steals the number plate, then the rest of the things can be even more difficult.
The biggest challenge of this mission is how you can find your prey before it is killed by someone else, and then snatch the number plate from his hand, which is obviously not easy to do on a huge uninhabited island, in the middle of a high and dense jungle.
The waves were steady, and the boat soon arrived at the shore of Glasses Island, where a female examiner came out and lowered the ladder and said to the candidates who wanted to go ashore first to get a head start: "Please go ashore one by one according to the order of the last exam, and the interval between each person is two minutes." The exam is limited to one week, but those who fail or give up first can go to the shore here to get shelter, which we offer. ”
"Yes, we're the first to disembark." I said to Naraku and Yuyuko, "Thankfully, the prey of the three of us is not each other, so the biggest problem of this mission is to find his prey before it is killed by others, and then snatch the number plate in his hand." Let's go our separate ways and look for our prey, so we can go faster. Okay, let's start hunting! ”
Candidates enter the jungle on the island in batches, leaving every two minutes.
The one who enters the jungle first will undoubtedly be able to occupy the advantageous terrain first...... Either find a place to hide, or try to ambush your "prey......
I disembarked first and headed straight to the woodlands of the island. Within the visible distance of the people on the boat, I left my footprints on the beach, and once I entered the mud of the dense forest, I used the telekinesis in my body, and the footprints left on the dirt were shallow and invisible. "Absolutely!" This is exactly the way to use the high-level ability of mindfulness, 'absolute'. Tighten and isolate the qi and breath of the whole body, so that one's sense of existence becomes weak. In the absolute state, the defense of the Nian Attack tends to be close to zero. However, entering a state of absoluteness in a state of fatigue helps to restore the body.
I restrained my breath and rushed into the rainforest without startling half a bird or letting the critters escape.
"It's unfortunate that my target is a 'cute' guy that's hard to get his hands on. But it's better than the target Siso, hehe, let's kill a few other candidates first, and get a few points first. As I was hurrying through the woods, I looked at the prey number in my hand and said with a smile.
"Well, that's it!" I saw a few tall sequoia trees, and I chose the one that was neither too tall nor too short, and I crept up to it, and I abandoned all my breath, and even my breath and heartbeat were subtle, and I hid in the trees motionlessly. The flying insects everywhere in the rainforest descended gently as if I were part of a tree. Hidden in the dense foliage, I peered through the gaps in the leaves, waiting for the prey to appear.
Not far from the tree where I was hiding, I could already hear someone screaming to death. The cruelty and intensity of the exam can be imagined......
But for me, who was playing peek-a-boo, I was just excited about the prey I was about to hunt.
My first kill.
