Chapter 8: Murder and Arson
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Qin Hao was the director of a small company in the real world. His salary was pretty good and he had more than ten people under him. He basically led quite a comfortable life.
However, a survival game called Infinite Game had changed his life. Here, he was not the director of the company. He was just a pitiful, shivering worm who was trying to survive.
The experience of parachuting was the most terrifying thing in his life. Parachuting, landing, picking up guns. He was terrified but he did not want to die. He hoped that this was all just a nightmare.
The flames of war were everywhere and death was always just around the corner. He was afraid! He was frightened!
He wanted to live. He hoped that it was all just a nightmare. He hoped that after the game ended, he could go home. He really did not want to die!
He had never played PUBG before, but he saw the notification on his panel when the air drop came.
Top-tier defensive equipment and top-tier weapons were things he needed very much. Only with these would he be able to live better.
When P City fell deathly silent, he couldn’t take it anymore! After waiting three minutes, then five, he decided to make a dash for it.
He carried his gun and left the safe house. He ran at a speed like never before. His face looked crazy. As he closed the distance, the craziness in his eyes grew even more.
Da! Da! Da!
Suddenly, the ear-piercing gunshots came from behind him. There was also an angry roar. Up until then, the bullets either hit the ground or whistled past him.
He went crazy! He doubled in running speed which was something he had never been able to achieve in his entire life.
The pain in his back made him panic. But the adrenaline rush in him only made him shout out loud.
The air drop location was getting closer! It was getting closer! It was only one meter away!
Finally! He reached it!
A helmet! A level 3 armor! An AWM! Twenty magnum bullets! There was also a Ghillie suit! He even managed to obtain a 15x scope!
These were the best finds!
Pfft!
He heard a sound behind him. It was very muffled, like..the sound of a stapler?
Pfft!
[Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 046. You have received 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1,000 points!]
[Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 7 people!]
Han Gui remained silent as he watched Player 046’s head explode through his 4x scope. He then pulled out the gun bolt and removed the shells.
This was a game of life and death. Compassion would only make one die faster. Only by killing others could one survive.
He was neither a saint nor a Buddha. He was just an ordinary person. He wanted to live!
The sound of the M24 stapler was so soft that the three people who had gone crazy as they chased after Player 046 did not notice him at all. Or perhaps the noise of their guns was just too loud.
No one cared who killed Qin Hao. They only knew that now that Qin Hao had been eliminated, they just had to deal with each other. An intense exchange of fire followed as the three people shot at each other. The ear-piercing sound of gunshots reverberated continuously.
From Han Gui’s angle, no matter how hard the three people tried, they could not hide from his vision. With only a distance of 50-60 meters from the air drop location and equipped with his 4x scope, shooting at them would be a breeze.
Han Gui shifted his aim to the head of one of the players. Without hesitation, Han Gui instantly pulled the trigger!
Bang!
Without warning, the player’s head, along with his level 2 helmet, exploded like a watermelon.
He reloaded his gun, shifted the muzzle, and aimed at another player.
Bang!
The distance of 50 to 60 meters passed in a blink of an eye as another player fell.
When the two players died consecutively and he did not receive any notifications, the third person in the field knew that there was another player attacking from afar!
“Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me! I can-”
Puchi!
The head of the player who had raised his gun to surrender instantly exploded. Before he could finish his sentence, the headless body flew backward over some distance before falling to the ground.
[Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 021. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1000 points!]
[Ding! Honorable Player 088, you have killed 8 people!]
[Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 034. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1000 points!]
[Ding! Honorable Player 088, you have killed 9 people!]
[Ding! Congratulations on achieving a headshot with the M24 to kill Player 057. You have obtained 100 points. 10x Multiplier has been activated. Congratulations on obtaining 1000 points!]
[Ding! Respected Player 088, you have killed 10 people!]
After killing four enemies in one battle, the number of people he had killed instantly reached 10. Han Gui took a deep breath and suppressed the joy in his heart. He looked at the air-dropped box in the distance and determination flashed in his eyes.
He wanted this box!
If there was anything that he was happiest about in PUBG, it was killing!
To kill with the Voldemort tactic!
To kill by fishing!
In short, there was only one thing, to kill!
Every player of PUBG enjoyed the process.
Killing meant that they could make what belonged to others, theirs and unlock achievements. Those were the main motivations for killing.
It was the same in Infinite Game. It was just that now the aim of the game was to survive longer than others.
Han Gui was not a fool. Any PUBG player would understand the reasoning behind the fishing tactic at air drops. Moreover, being clear-minded sometimes meant that one was not too bogged down by reasoning.
Opportunities were a blessing and a curse!
Everyone wanted good things, but there was only one chance. Who could get it?
Han Gui was not sure if there were still clear-headed players hiding in P City. But he was not in a hurry. He had given himself half an hour, which was enough time for him to search the entire P City.
If there were people, he would kill them. If there was no one else, then all the resources in P City would be his!
The air drop had already landed. It wouldn’t go anywhere. But he would also keep a watchful eye on it. If there were any fish that took his bait, that would be even better. If there were no fish, he would just finish searching P City and leave after collecting everything he needed from the air drop.
Most importantly, Han Gui suspected that this was a huge pit in the Infinite Game. The place the air drop landed in was a huge plain called Ma Pingchuan!
It was obvious that going to the air drop blindly was suicide.
To Han Gui’s disappointment, even after searching the entire P City for more than 20 minutes, he did not see another living person. The supplies were much more abundant than people.
He turned back and looted the bags of the last four people he had killed. Then, Han Gui ran to the air drop box vigilantly. The moment he opened it, Han Gui could not help but feel excited.
A Ghillie suit! An AWM! A 15x scope! Twenty shots of magnum bullets! A level 3 helmet! A level 3 armor! And a shot of epinephrine!
This was the best combination of items!
Without hesitation, he put all of them into his backpack.
He swallowed the painkillers together with the drinks and he felt his energy levels replenish. His waist was no longer sore and his legs no longer hurt. He was now able to run with gusto!
There were still no cars in the whole of P City! It seemed the only way to enter the safe zone was to run!
The run through the map began!
As he ran, Han Gui looked at his tactical panel. There were basically no urban areas to the south of P City. The only forms of civilization that were close to the bridge were two small housing areas.
A bungalow by the sea and a fishing village!
According to his calculations, the distance to either of those was about 1,000 meters. Han Gui planned to stay in the bungalow by the sea.
How could he not take advantage of his 10x Multiplier?
There were only two ways to enter the airport. His side was the closest. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility of people taking a detour or jumping over from M City. But other than that, there was no other way. He would definitely charge bridge fees.
Besides killing and arson, stealing from others was always the fastest way to get rich!
If one wanted to remain a saint in Infinite Game, they might as well just put a gun to their head and commit suicide..
