Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch - Chapter 764

Chapter 764: Chapter 724 Kill Them!

Is the Iron-Blooded Warrior the hunter?

Or is it that humans are the hunters?

Or maybe… both are hunters?

With the shotgun in his hand, Ivan Ivanov was deep in thought.

His teammate, Warehouse Bird, had already adeptly loaded his weapon and started to break into a run.

Warehouse Bird and Chasing Wind’s team, through tight-knit cooperation, had faced challenge after challenge, experiencing countless gruesome deaths and team wipes, finally defeating the Iron-Blooded Warrior.

The “Hunter Medal” that they won had a number behind it:

[Team·038]

This signified that they were the 38th team worldwide to complete [Cross-Border Pursuit].

Even though they weren’t as epic as Team [001] to [003], they were very satisfied.

However, only Warehouse Bird and Chasing Wind remained in the team at this point.

-Rather than fighting for rewards, Chasing Wind enjoyed playing with fellow netizens like Warehouse Bird more.

Although Warehouse Bird wouldn’t spoil him like his subordinates did, he rather liked this straightforward relationship.

Given that not many players have beaten [Cross Border Pursuit] yet, and, as a result, not many can play this game, it wasn’t surprising that Ivan ended up in the queue.

As Ivan chased after Warehouse Bird, he questioned: “What’s going on? Chill man, don’t run so frantic!”

While still running, Warehouse Bird replied, “We’re running out of time! Hurry up and find the Iron-Blooded Warrior. If he finds the Invisibility item first, it’ll be a pain to find him!”

“He can go invisible?”

Thinking back to his last match where he only wore shorts and ran like a madman in the repair shop, Ivan had an ominous feeling.

Warehouse Bird was even more surprised, “The Iron-Blooded Warrior being able to go invisible, isn’t that common knowledge?”

Ivan had no words, he just silently followed and ran along.

Seeing that Ivan had been following him, Warehouse Bird was somewhat puzzled: “Why are you following me?”

“To find the Iron-Blooded Warrior,” Ivan answered confusedly, “Didn’t you mention it earlier?”

“We should split up and search!”

Warehouse Bird was rendered speechless, “One person in each direction, otherwise, our enemy will definitely play hide-and-seek with us.”

“If he finds the [Invisibility], [Shoulder Cannon], [Position Shield], we might as well surrender!”

“Oh, okay, I understand. I’ll go now.” Ivan immediately agreed to the plan.

Only then did he understand why the other two teammates hadn’t followed along. They had gone to search in different directions…

Thinking about the [Invisibility], [Shoulder Cannon], and [Position Shield] that Warehouse Bird mentioned, he felt like he was a complete idiot in the last match!

He just hoped the live-streamer community would show him mercy and quickly forget about what happened in the last round…

With these thoughts, Ivan turned a corner and sprinted towards another exhibition hall.

The moment he entered this battlefield, Ivan was certain: it was the museum in Jurassic Park, with an identical layout.

However, in Jurassic Park, many of the displays were of live dinosaurs.

They stood leisurely on the platforms, occasionally moving or turning around. When visitors fed them, they would leisurely eat the food.

This interaction had always been the main attraction of the Dinosaur Museum.

However, in the museum they were currently in, the dinosaurs were merely sculptures, some even just skeletal fossils.

Ivan rushed into the Aquatic Dinosaur Museum and immediately saw a curved double-blade in a glass cabinet.

He immediately recognized this as the Iron-Blooded Warrior’s [Wrist Blade].

He sprinted over and swung his gun at the glass cabinet. It made a ‘Duang’ sound, but the case was undamaged.

Reluctantly, Ivan struck it a few more times, but the glass cabinet remained undamaged.

He quickly called out to his teammates, “I found a glass box containing the Iron-Blooded Warrior’s Wrist Blade. I can’t break the glass, what should I do?”

Warehouse Bird promptly replied, “Hide it if you can, ignore it if you can’t.”

“Ignore it?” Ivan was surprised.

“Yes, Hunters can’t open the Iron-Blooded Warrior’s exclusive items. We can only hide them or set traps near them if we find any [Traps],” Warehouse Bird quickly explained.

“We can only open the Hunters’ supply boxes such as [Traps], [Paintball], [Medical Bag], [Tracking Fragrance], [Gun Parts Upgrade] and so on.”

“However, if you find a supply box containing [Invisibility Device], wait for him! This is too dangerous, it’s better to waste one person’s time and guard it rather than give it to the Iron-Blooded Warrior.”

Ivan totally understood this strategy. An Iron-Blooded Warrior with invisibility and one without it were completely different levels of difficulty.

Ivan left the room and quickly ran to the next exhibit.

At the beginning of the game, the Iron-Blooded Warrior, other than having high health, had nothing, making it the best time to counterattack.

But as time passed, the Iron-Blooded Warrior would constantly collect supplies and equipment, becoming increasingly powerful, and thus even harder to fight.

And once he had collected all his weapons, and he could go invisible, use a shoulder cannon and have a shield, they would have a hard time not being annihilated by him.

This was a process of gains and losses.

So… time is money!

Just as everyone was running wildly, searching for the Iron-Blooded Warrior, a sudden furious shout rang out over the team’s channel:

“Fuck! He’s here!”

Ivan, Warehouse Bird, and Chasing Wind immediately checked the map and quickly locked onto their teammate’s location, then dashed towards the lecture hall without hesitation.

But Ivan was puzzled: Why hadn’t he heard any gunshots?

Before he could ask the question in the team channel, a terrifying sound was heard.

-It wasn’t over the team’s channel.

“Ahhhhhhhh! Fuck! Fuck! Get away! Please, I beg you! Spare me!!”

The harrowing screams echoed throughout the museum.

If he hadn’t heard it himself, Ivan wouldn’t have believed it. He couldn’t believe that someone could scream so loudly.

Such a grown man, begging for mercy in a game?

Did he have to be so cowardly?

Ivan looked down on such cowardice, “This guy’s got a really small heart, it’s just a game for goodness sake. Is he really that scared?”

But the continuous screaming was unsettling, making Ivan feel a little shaky.

But with so many viewers watching, there was no way he could back down. Otherwise, he’d probably be laughed at for a whole month.

“Ah→Ah~Ah↑Ah~~Ah!”

The long, drawn-out screams came to an abrupt end.

The unfortunate guy had bitten the dust.

Luckily, the lecture hall was just a stone’s throw away.

There were only three entrances to this lecture hall, and without needing to communicate, they each took one entrance, blocking all of them.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”

The three stormed through the door in quick succession, their guns held up in a state of high tension.

But the lecture hall was completely empty.

The Iron-Blooded Warrior with his massive size couldn’t possibly hide under a chair, so–

“Be careful! He’s invisible!!” Ivan shouted.

“Bang!”

The Warehouse Bird shot at the bloodstain on the ground.

This bloodstain was left behind by the System after the Hunter was killed by the Iron-Blooded Warrior. Close to the bloodstain, there was the “Tracking Fragrance” left by his teammates.

This was a major asset in the search for the Iron-Blooded Warrior, but now no one dared to pick it up, fearing that he would escape if they left their positions.

The Warehouse Bird’s shot was more like a random prize drawing.

Unfortunately, it turned up nothing.

“Don’t rush in, stay vigilant. The invisibility has a time limit! It lasts at most 30 seconds! Stay calm, he can’t run anymore!” The Warehouse Bird provided key information again.

The three almost held their breath, pricked up their ears, not wanting to miss any sound. Their eyes were fixed onto the lecture hall, especially the area close to themselves, fearing the Iron-Blooded Warrior might silently creep up on them.

In this tense atmosphere, the Warehouse Bird suddenly opened fire!

“Bang!”

The shattered bullets sprayed out from the muzzle, targeting a large area in front.

However, these fragments didn’t create a great deal of green blood as expected by the Warehouse Bird. Instead–

They hit something like a layer of water, quickly losing momentum and being stopped in mid-air.

That was a Force Field Shield.

The ripples caused by the shattered bullets in the air outlined a robust invisible figure, knocking the Warehouse Bird down heavily.

“Bang!”

Even though he was completely suppressed, the Warehouse Bird still managed to fire off a shot before his weapon was grabbed!

This shot, fired point-blank, stirred the ripples of the Position Shield again, and this time the ripples were more obvious, and the shield was obviously at its limit.

“Two more shots and the shield will break! Fire!” The Warehouse Bird shouted his last words, and then the Iron-Blooded Warrior seized his throat. With a simple strangle, his neck was snapped, and he was instantly killed.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”…

Gunshots rang out again, as Ivan and Chasing Wind dashed into firing range.

“Pop.”

The Force Field Shield finally broke with a soft noise, and a dash of green blood burst into the air.

The Iron-Blooded Warrior broke out of his invisibility and then– dashed straight for Chasing Wind!

Obviously, Chasing Wind’s physique was way weaker than Ivan’s, making him the “easy prey” in the eyes of the Iron-Blooded Warrior.

Ivan’s heart leapt for joy.

His adversary was definitely losing it!

If he turned around and ran, the two might not be able to catch up at all. If they let him escape and he got the Wrist Blade or Shoulder Cannon, they would certainly lose.

But him charging straight forward meant he was giving up his advantage.

Therefore– there was great hope!

Ivan and Chasing Wind fired crazily at the Iron-Blooded Warrior.

Shot after shot hitting the Iron-Blooded Warrior made him bleed constantly, and his forward charge was constantly interrupted. He had to zigzag and change his path repeatedly.

Chasing Wind was no fool. He intelligently retreated while firing. With Ivan’s help, he was always able to maintain a safe distance.

The Iron-Blooded Warrior’s health was rapidly decreasing, and both of them saw the dawn of victory!

Until–

“Clang!”

Ivan stepped on something.

Five metal spikes about as thick as a little finger and more than two meters long, darted out from underneath the floor, piercing right through him!

His arm, legs, and torso were all impaled.

What caught him off guard was that his health only decreased by 5%, which wasn’t fatal at all.

But the problem was–

He couldn’t move!

Let alone maneuvering or moving his gun, he couldn’t even pull the trigger.

“Can the Iron-Blooded Warrior use traps, too? Aren’t traps part of the Hunter’s supply box?” Ivan asked in panic.

“No, no!” Chasing Wind felt a wave of dread hit him, “Both sides have Trap Boxes!”

Before he could finish speaking, he tripped over a chair that was on the ground, almost falling.

Although he managed to keep his balance in the end, an Iron-Blooded Warrior who had reached up close tackled him to the ground, and in the next second, the shotgun had been taken away.

Chasing Wind closed his eyes, waiting for the end.

However, death did not come.

Chasing Wind couldn’t help but open his eyes, only to see a ferocious face very close to his own!

He recoiled instinctively.

But with his head already against the floor, how could he increase the distance?

Teeth protruding and gums exposed, saliva dripping…

The disgustingly evil mouth with two rows of fangs, exposing pink tender flesh, slowly moved closer and closer to Chasing Wind’s face!

“Fuck! What the hell are you! What kind of freak!”

“Get off! Get off! Fuck!”

Chasing Wind struggled desperately.

But he was pinned down by the super-strong Iron-Blooded Warrior, his hands were held down, he couldn’t move, at most he could twist his neck.

The Iron-Blooded Warrior ignored Chasing Wind’s curses, pinned his hands over his head with one hand, freeing his other hand to grab Chasing Wind’s face, rendering him unable to move.

Then he again brought his fanged, drooling mouth close…

“Ugh! Fuck off!” Chasing Wind lost it completely.

Before the Iron-Blooded Warrior actually kissed him, he finally remembered a long-forgotten feature and shouted out with all the breath he had–

“Escape from lockdown!!!”

“Pop.”

There was a soft noise, and then Chasing Wind disappeared all at once– he was forcibly kicked out by the System.

The Iron-Blooded Warrior was taken aback for a moment. He then slowly stood up and turned to look at Ivan Ivanov, who was impaled by the trap and unable to move.

Ivan, who had witnessed it all, instantly turned pale!
