Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Brick usually liked to play with guns, but being selected to join Infinite Game had been a coincidence. The unexpectedness and reality of the situation terrified him. The worse was when someone had jumped with him during the parachuting phase.
Upon landing, the other party managed to pick up a gun first, so Brick could only turn around and run upstairs in one of the buildings. Fortunately, there was a gun there too and he remembered he had experience with guns.
He quickly changed out the bullets before engaging in a fierce battle with the man he had landed with. Fortunately, he managed to take out the man, though he had been shot twice and almost died during the battle.
After that, he finally thought that he was safe. He was also in the safe zone, so he wanted to wait until things were over. However, he heard the sound of an explosion and gunshots from the opposite side not long after.
His heart instantly jumped. This was not the end. After a short pause, he heard the sound of an explosion again. It was clear to him that those were grenade explosions.
The sound of gunfire followed and soon a notification appeared on his panel. He felt a squeeze in his heart
The person on the other side was dead?
He did not know the exact situation. But he quietly stuck out half of his head as his blue eyes tried to gather as much visual information as possible. His gaze swept across the second floor but the sight of a black muzzle instantly made his heart turn cold.
Puchi!
A flash of fire appeared as his vision turned blood red. His entire head exploded instantly and his body was sent flying.
[Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot using the M24 to kill Player 028. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points.]
[Ding! Honorable Player 088, you have killed 12 people.]
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 1/5 of Player 028’s points. You have obtained 20 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 200 points.]
When the sound of the notification ended, Han Gui wondered to himself. Was the person opposite him the final winner of the gunfight Xinyue had mentioned earlier?
He turned around and went downstairs. There was only one building left to be searched. He could not believe everything Xinyue said. She had been so flustered at that time. How could she have heard or remembered anything clearly?
After circling around and not finding any enemies, Han Gui heaved a sigh of relief. He searched all the buildings and returned to Xinyue.
Xinyue lowered her head as Han Gui made his way to her. Her cute twin ponytails swung down dejectedly.
“Xinyue is useless.”
Xinyue was in tears. Han Gui had asked her to watch the opposite side, but she had not done it properly. The people on the opposite side were all dead, and she could not even figure out what had happened. She felt so useless.
But what could Han Gui say as he touched her head? Xinyue was not to be blamed at all. The person in the opposite building had been very cautious. In fact, Han Gui was only able to discover his presence only after he made a commotion in the building next door. She was probably just unlucky to have such opponents around her.
“Don’t be dejected. You were of great use. If I am defeated by someone else, I will be waiting for you to revive me. You are my hidden weapon. With you around, I have the courage to fight with others.
“Look, it was a one-on-one. But the other side is dead, and I still have you! You can save me. Do you still think yourself as useless?”
“Really? You really think so?”
Xinyue was confused as she tilted her head. She did not know the ins and outs of PUBG.
“Of course. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Let’s start moving. After such a long delay, I’m afraid the safe zone will be moving soon. There are no cars in this game so we can only continue on foot. Drink your energy drink first, and eat the painkillers.”
…
Han Gui took a look at his attributes as he was replenishing himself.

Current teammate: Yang Xinyue
He had killed a total of 12 people. Two of them had given him a bonus of 400 points so that he now had a total of more than 10,000 points. Wasn’t this a huge sum of points?
He looked at the tactical panel. There had originally been 100 people, but now there were only 53 people left. And it was only the third cycle. However, thinking about it, it only took him half an hour to complete one cycle. It seemed that the speed at which he moved and killed was quite slow.
The game had been going on for nearly an hour and a half. The power grid had already spread to the front of R City and was moving towards P City. Han Gui felt that he had underestimated this power grid.
It and the safe zone were accelerating with time. It was not moving at a constant speed at all. The higher the number of cycles, the higher the speed. The fourth safe zone’s refresh time was actually only 20 minutes!
The pattern of the safe zone was just as he had expected. It was heading towards the airport. Without hesitation, Han Gui pulled Xinyue, who had just finished taking her medicine, and started heading down the stairs.
Just as he walked out of the door, a series of rumbles came about. Han Gui turned and saw a plane flying over from afar.
Another air drop?
He ran to the back of a hill and hid. Eventually, he saw the plane drop two small dots just a few hundred meters in front of him. Han Gui was instantly stunned.
Damn! A double air drop?
Han Gui pulled Xinyue along as he made a dash for the air drop location
“Let’s go, let’s go grab the air drop boxes. This air drop is ours! Though it might be a little dangerous!”
An opportunity could also be dangerous.
The place of the air drop was a very vulnerable location. After all, it was at the junction of the beach bungalow and the fishing village. Basically, the perfect spot for a blood bath between the players of both sites.
Furthermore, there were two air drops! Han Gui did not dare to imagine how the battle would turn out. But this air drop might disrupt his plans.
He had originally planned to collect tolls at the beach bungalow from those trying to get into the safe zone. But at the current rate the safe zone and power grids were moving, he wasn’t sure if he’d be able to catch those people in time.
If these air drops caused a three-way scuffle, then it would really be….
