Chapter 687: Team Up
The island is not large, only dense forests can be seen from the sea, and the people on the other boats have also landed on the island in small boats, much faster than us, and there is still a day before the game starts, so they are in such a hurry to land on the island for other purposes.
Gu Yu and I paddled ashore slowly, deflated the raft and put it away, and carried it on our backs along with the inflatable tools.
Those who landed on the island early didn't pay attention to us at all, and after going ashore, some went to familiarize themselves with the terrain, and some went straight to the meeting place.
"This island is more than 20 square kilometers in total, there is nothing else except trees, and the only way to set up an ambush is in the woods around the island. After I used the antenna to probe the environment, I briefly told Gu Yu.
"Looks like we can't play hide and seek this time." Gu Yu took out a cold firework and waved it a few times to report safety to Fat Gates and Boss Zhu at sea.
"There are no zombies on the island, and the space for movement is small, do you think this is suitable for the battlefield?"
"If you're playing a game of hunting here, it's much less enjoyable."
"yes, those weird weapons that are exchanged for points have no room to be used, and players have nowhere to hide, so they have to fight at the beginning, and it won't take long for the game to end."
We didn't need to survey the terrain again, so we went directly to the meeting place to have a look, and at this time, someone who came ashore behind us caught up and stopped us.
There was only one person who came, and he didn't look very old, and there was a scar on the right side of his mouth that flew upwards diagonally, making him look like he was smiling evilly.
If it had been a little deeper, his face would have been opened, and the wound would have to be stitched up, and it would have left a scar with stitches, and there was no scar from stitches on the side of his scar.
"Handsome guys and beauties, wait for me." A teenager who can also be called a boy catches up with us.
Gu Yu and I didn't speak, we just stopped and waited for him to see what was going on with him.
"Hello, I'm Ted, and you've probably seen my name on the leaderboards." The young man spoke in a clear and energetic tone.
"Ted? The one in third place in the standings? "I have some impressions of the name, because I always only look at the top 10 when I look at the charts, so I remember the name that always stays at the top end.
"Yes, it's me, do you need companions? My team can't come, this time I'm only one person, you know, one person alone is not very likely to win, and two people are also very difficult, so why don't we team up with three of us, how about it? ”
"I..."
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, I've participated in this kind of competition, and you'll need me."
I looked at Gu Yu, exchanged glances with him, and said, "How do you know that we haven't participated." ”
"Because you're carrying these burdens, trust me, throw them away, they'll be a drag on you, and no experienced player will bring anything but weapons, including food and water."
When he said this, I noticed that he didn't have a backpack with him, and that he had several pockets in his clothes and pants, all of which contained things, but they were not full.
"If you can't help it, hide it, don't carry it, have you noticed, the other players are at least a group of four, and we have to find another person."
I raised my eyebrows secretly, and this kid tacitly agreed to team up before he could get a reply from us.
But he looks like he's actually played in something like that, and teaming up with someone with experience like him is good for us.
"Let's hide things first, and we'll talk about it later." I pulled Gu Yu in the direction of a wood, but Ted didn't catch up.
We walked into the woods, made sure that there was no one around, I put my backpack into the space, saying that hiding things was just an excuse, I just wanted to discuss with Gu Yu about teaming up.
"Do you think it will work?"
"Without his previous data, we'd better be cautious."
"Then team up and guard against him."
"Well, listen to him, there may be multiple people in the game."
"Well, let's go, talk to him."
Ted was still waiting for us on the beach, he seemed sure we would agree to join him, and smiled and waved at us when he saw us return.
"Don't talk about it here, find a place where no one talks." Without waiting for us to speak, Ted led us to another wood.
The people in the woods had come out one after another by this time, and after they had surveyed the terrain, perhaps they found that there was no head inside, and they did not stay long.
When Ted entered the woods, he picked a tree to lean on, and his leisurely demeanor did not look like he was going to play with his life, but as if he had come on vacation.
"You're all players?" Ted was the first to ask.
"I am, he's my helper." I say.
"OK, there are no restrictions on the game, and helpers can also enter the field." Ted said, "For the sake of balance, we need to find another non-player to join our team. ”
"Is it easy to find someone like that?" I have observed that most of the people who come to the island come in groups, and very few come alone.
"I saw one just now, and I'll look for him at the meeting place in a moment."
Ted took out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and shook out one and handed it to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu shook his head and refused, and Ted lit a cigarette and took a comfortable puff.
"Don't worry, I won't cheat you, I've been working with a team before, and I've never teamed up with other players."
"You're not afraid that we will cheat you?" I asked rhetorically.
"Would you do that? Knowing that I'm third on the leaderboard and still have an unknown weapon on me? Ted smiled confidently and openly, and even the scar on his mouth showed a bit of uninhibitedness.
"There's only one castle." I reminded him.
"It can live a lot of people." Ted smiled.
"You're not trying to set up a player camp, are you?" I said casually.
"Why not?" Ted raised half an eyebrow, not hiding his intentions in the slightest.
I don't have anything to say this time, he really dares to think about it, and maybe there will be a lot of players who will be willing to join his camp, after all, he can get to the top three in the standings, and his strength is undoubted.
"So what if I say, I want to monopolize the rewards?" I said lightly.
"That's your ability, I'll go live with you." Ted looked as usual, not like a scoundrel at all, but the second half of his sentence was clearly a lie.
We haven't met such a person yet, and after a slight pause in our thinking, we can't continue, and if I say not to let him live, I guess this cooperation will have to be terminated before it starts.
I had to ignore him and ask something else, "Can you tell me about this game?" ”
"Attention? Let's put it this way, no matter how careful you look, this game is a life-or-death risk. ”
"There's always something to pay attention to." I don't believe.
"Use all the weapons and tricks you can use, and be ready to fight at any time." Ted took his last puff and tossed the butt to the ground to extinguish it.
"The venue is on this island?" Gu Yu asked.
"No, somewhere you haven't been." Ted was ambiguous.
He withdrew his leisurely expression and said, "We must ensure a group of four, this is the minimum value, without one person, we can't win." ”
This is the same as we guessed, if a single player can win the championship, a player as strong as him will naturally not team up with strangers.
"The specific details will be talked about when we find all the people, and we still need to understand each other's strength." Ted finally looked like he was doing business, and he walked out of the woods, saying as he went, "The monsters we're going to destroy aren't zombies, so there's no points to take." ”
"What do you want to change, hurry up and change it now, it's too late to get in." With Ted finished, he quickened his pace and walked towards the meeting place.
My weapons are my own psychic power and flying ashes, as well as my lifestealing ability, and now that I have an attack skill, I might as well change something to defense.
I rummaged through the points library for a long time, and when I remembered the armor that the Bai family gave to the Peng family, I paid special attention to the protective gear.
There is no protective gear similar to the Bai family's armor in the points exchange warehouse, but there is a device similar to the isolation cover.
This shield is transparent and can be worn on the body, like a jumpsuit worn during diving, and is extremely lightweight, and its weight is barely noticeable after wearing.
I changed two sets, one set with Gu Yu, originally I wanted to change the set, but Gu Yu didn't like me to be injured, even if the wound healed immediately, so I changed one set for myself.
Two sets of quarantines took half of my points, and I looked at the changing numbers, secretly expecting it to be worth the price.
When I came to the meeting point in the center of the island, there were already hundreds of people sitting in the open space, and there was still a day before the allotted time, according to this posture, I am afraid that there must be more than 1,000 participants in this game.
Ted said that there is no limit to the game, and anyone can enter the game, which means that the game association allows players to bring helpers and there is no limit to the number of people.
Dozens, dozens, severals, as Ted said, there are very few people who are alone, and we are the only ones who team up like me and Gu Yu.
Ted was walking faster than we did, and when Gu Yu and I arrived, he was pulling a fight.
The meeting point is in a clearing in the middle of the woods, and the players are divided into teams, each occupying a piece of land, while a group of people to the south is punching and kicking a person for some unknown reason.
Ted ran over and pushed the group out of the way, and lifted the man on the ground, who was already beaten to the point that his face was covered in blood and his clothes were covered with dust and grass clippings.
The team was going to beat Ted together, but they didn't know what the people next to them said, so they immediately moved away from Ted and ignored the person who was beaten badly.
"Hey, come over here and help." Ted waved at me and Gu Yu.
Gu Yu and I walked briskly over, and Ted lowered the man to the ground, and although the man's hair was short, he was a woman with a bumpy body.
"You come and examine the wounds on her body to see if there are any broken bones." Ted crouched beside the woman, his eyes seemed to say that there was a difference between men and women, and it was inconvenient for him to make a move.
I examined the woman's whole body, only some skin trauma, and she was very strong, with strong muscles in her arms and legs.
