The canopy of trees overhead cuts the sunlight cast on the ground into small pieces, and the "soldiers" with HK416 assault rifles in their hands enter the dense forest, vigilantly slowing down, ready to watch out for possible attacks from the "enemy".

Listening to the movement in the forest, Zhao Nuo didn't hear the footsteps, presumably Xia Xiaoling should have walked far just now, and the two couldn't start a firefight for a while.

But even so, it should not be taken lightly. After all, that guy is an unconventional being, and if you're not careful, you'll come up with something shocking.

Walking slowly into the dense forest, looking left and right for traces of "props" in the wild, Zhao Nuo soon noticed that on the trunk of the tree next to him, an "X" shaped mark was painted with white paint, and the following read:

"The keys are nearby."

"The difficulty of your puzzle is too low, you should really learn from Zhou Yan." Zhao Nuo was complaining, he had already bent down to remove a pile of fallen leaves under the tree, and sure enough, he saw a green plastic box buried under the tree.

From the trunk of another tree next to him, he found the password "9828" carved with a knife, Zhao Nuo opened the combination lock of the box under the tree, and a cylindrical object with a silver shell came into view. Needless to say, this thing is-

"Smoke grenades...... Luck wasn't bad. ”

He slung the smoke grenade to the belt around his waist and stood up.

Unlike the normal survival game field, the pick-up items and other things in this field need to be prepared before the battle. Therefore, if you want to have a fight here, you need to make a reservation in advance.

The battle between Zhao Nuo and Xia Xiaoling was actually scheduled in advance, because the two of them were the first batch of "players" to test this new venue.

Compared with the smoke grenades provided here, the effect is naturally much worse than that of military smoke grenades. However, it is still possible to create a smoke screen that obscures the view for a short time.

In addition to this, there are other types of items that can be used, the strongest of which is not smoke grenades, but ......

“……”

Sensing that the situation was wrong, Zhao Nuo slowly stopped in place.

――It's a little too quiet for the dense forest in the middle of summer.

But that silence. It was soon broken by the piercing sound of gunfire.

"Bang bang bang!"

At the same moment when Zhao Nuo leaned over, several "bullets" hit the trunk of the tree beside him, creating scarlet marks.

Zhao Nuo, who fired a few shots in the direction where the bullet came from and didn't see the enemy's position, quickly retreated, trying to get out of Xia Xiaoling's range.

"That's fast, bastard."

With Xia Xiaoling's state, it is completely unscientific to find herself so quickly, so in this way, presumably that girl has obtained the strongest prop that can be picked up in the forest-Signal Locator!

To avoid survival, gamers get lost in this forest. Before starting the game, each player will receive a GPS positioning device provided by the War Field, which is placed in the pocket of their combat uniform.

The role of the "signal locator", which can be picked up in the forest, is to track the opponent's signal within 10 minutes after turning on the phone.

In other words, once you get it, you can chase down the enemy and attack from all angles within ten minutes!

Faced with the situation of "the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light", Zhao Nuo turned around and left without saying a word. While retreating, he listened to the voices coming from the rear and tried to determine where Xia Xiaoling was.

Although Xia Xiaoling's character is much better than herself. But overall, I still have a chance to win. Because even though the signal locator is the strongest item you can get here, it still has weaknesses:

To put it bluntly, it's a ruggedized tablet, with a thickness similar to that of a brick, and it won't break even if you throw it the ground. For the average player, just carrying it around is a burden.

Of course. For a guy like Xia Xiaoling with his own strange power attribute, this is not enough to cause any obstacles. However, unlike in the game, in order to use the signal locator to determine the location of an enemy, you have to look down at the screen.

So, in the current situation that has been exposed. If Xia Xiaoling wants to chase after her, she must glance at the screen of the "Signal Locator" from time to time.

For Zhao Nuo, this is undoubtedly an opportunity that can be taken advantage of!

After continuing to run forward for a few steps, Zhao Nuo turned around suddenly, ripped off the pull tab of the smoke bomb in his hand, and threw the smoke bomb into the dense forest in front of him, while lowering his body and rushing back in the direction he came.

"Ahh Not far away, someone's exclamation was heard.

――Needless to say, Xia Xiaoling, who was still watching the flat screen, was naturally caught off guard.

With such a thought, Zhao Nuo had just rushed out of the pale smoke screen, and the first thing that caught his eye was a slender figure in a black combat uniform, as well as a black muzzle......

"Damn."

At the moment of "life and death", Zhao Nuo forcibly stopped his body as if he stepped on the brakes, and fell on the grass with a "bang".

At the same time, Xia Xiaoling had already fired mercilessly.

The crisp gunfire suddenly broke out, and Zhao Nuo, who was prostrate on the ground in the most embarrassed posture, could feel the high-speed moving object flying over his head, and at this time, the HK-416 in his hand was already aimed at the opponent's legs.

However, it is clear that things will not be so simple......

Xia Xiaoling, who had run out of bullets, suddenly threw out a smoke bomb, and at the same time her body retreated sharply, and at the same time Zhao Nuo fired, she had already disappeared into the pale smoke screen.

"Haha, worthy of a veteran player." Zhao Nuo's face covered with oil paint showed a smile of "chess opponent".

――The eldest lady who has a survival game field in her backyard is really extraordinary, and her skills are far from being comparable to ordinary players. In addition, the "serious mode" is turned on, and Xia Xiaoling at this time, even if she encounters a professional survival game player, she has the power to fight!

Even so......

Zhao Nuo stood up, patted the dust on his body, spit out the blades of grass in his mouth, and left without thinking about it.

He is not a "pro" when it comes to survival games, but he has his own special tactics compared to pros.

As for what that tactic was, Xia Xiaoling, who suddenly launched an attack just now, would probably experience it immediately.

――――――――――

Fifteen minutes later.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Girl in black holding a SIG-P210 pistol. Holding his chest with his left hand, he gasped for breath, and the black oil paint under his eyes had been soaked with sweat and flowed downward, smelling of a "punk girl".

"Zhao Nuo is so annoying......"

She muttered angrily, and glanced back at the dense forest behind her.

After his own sneak attack failed, Zhao Nuo did not seize the opportunity to retreat immediately. Wait for the "Signal Locator" to run out of time, and instead quickly attack from the side.

In the case that the opponent also begins to take the initiative to attack, the signal locator can basically be said to be abolished, after all, on the real battlefield, no one will look at the computer screen while shooting to determine the enemy's position.

After being counterattacked, Xia Xiaoling's first thought was to escape quickly, find a place to hide first, and then launch a sneak attack again with the help of signal positioning. It's a pity that that terrible opponent obviously won't give her this opportunity......

For the next fifteen minutes. Zhao Nuo is chasing her in a "stalking" style, which is extremely fast and vicious. And when she counterattacked, the guy was like a ghost, and quickly retreated under the cover of the dense forest.

"Ahh

Hearing the sound of footsteps not far behind her again, Xia Xiaoling narrowed her eyes and scolded. dragged his somewhat tired body to the other side.

As a game nerd. She knew that this tactic was the classic "HIT-&-RUN", in StarCraft and Warcraft 3 that year. There are many masters who use this maneuver to ravage their opponents.

However, when such tactics are shown in survival games, its disgusting level is taken up another notch......

After fifteen minutes of "strenuous exercise", Xia Xiaoling, who had a faint pain in her lower back, was already a little out of breath. But Zhao Nuo would not leave her a chance to rest at all, and was still perseveringly pursuing.

In fact. Because the attack was too hasty, Zhao Nuo's hit rate was not high, which is also the reason why Xia Xiaoling is still "alive".

However, such tactics have undoubtedly dragged down Xia Xiaoling's physical fitness.

Although her strength is greater than that of ordinary people, Xia Xiaoling's endurance is obviously not comparable to Zhao Nuo's. In this intense movement, the gap between the two is manifested.

AT THIS TIME, XIA XIAOLING HAD ALREADY RETREATED TO THE EDGE OF THE FOREST, AND WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE THE WARGAME VENUE, LOOKING AT THE INCREASINGLY SCARCE TREES IN FRONT OF HER, SHE SUDDENLY THOUGHT OF AN IDEA.

――Since you're at a disadvantage in a shootout, wouldn't it be better if you just avoided a shootout?

With this in mind, she put her pistol back in her holster and panted towards the large clearing not far away.

As one of the main designers of this "amusement park", she knows the structure of this place all too well. That open space is the race track that has just been built.

If you can get in there and get on a racing car, you can avoid Zhao Nuo's pursuit!

finally found a way to turn defeat into victory, Xia Xiaoling tried her best again, and the speed was much faster than before.

Before Zhao Nuo chased after her, she had stumbled into the main entrance of the racetrack, sitting on the cement track and gasping for breath.

For entertainment reasons, the design of this track is a little more complex than that of the North City Circuit. However, one thing that takes care of the player is that the track is generally very wide, and there are protective walls of tires on both sides.

What's more, the safety performance of the "chariot" provided here can be described as extraordinary. So even if you haven't driven a car, there's nothing to worry about at all.

Xia Xiaoling looked to the left side of the track, where two "chariots" with silver-gray shells were parked.

The shape of the "chariot" is somewhere between an armored car and a formula car, like a strange but harmonious combination. After testing the survival game with Zhao Nuo, they originally wanted to come here to test the "racing game", but now it seems that this test is probably ahead of schedule......

"Uh, boss, do you need anything?"

The male voice behind her made Xia Xiaoling turn around, only to see a young man in blue overalls standing not far from her, looking at her curiously.

"I'm going to drive." Xia Xiaoling was concise and stood up as she spoke.

"However, Mr. Zhao hasn't ......arrived yet," the staff hesitated.

"I said I wanted to drive!" After experiencing the baptism of HIT-&-RUN tactics, Xia Xiaoling's mood at the moment is also very bad, she has always been good-tempered on weekdays, but she directly pulled out the "pistol" and put it on the head of the staff.

"Uh...... Don't shoot...... Okay, okay, I'll launch it for you! The staff who were almost scared to pee hurriedly raised their hands.

"That's pretty much it, huh."

Xia Xiaoling nodded with satisfaction and walked over with a racing car next to her in the opposite direction.

When the staff bent down to start the engine, she did not forget to hide behind the car and watch the main entrance of the circuit vigilantly.

Since the construction has not yet been completed, there is only one gate in this racing track, and if Zhao Nuo wants to enter, he must pass through the main entrance of the racing track.

"I won't lose again this time! As long as the car starts, well......"

Xia Xiaoling, who was squatting behind the silver racing car with a "pistol", had already begun to naively fantasize about Zhao Nuo's subservience to him. (To be continued......)
