Book 6: Chapter 64:2: Chen Heng Already Started a Killing Spree! Part 2
After eliminating Lancelot, Chen Heng didnt rush over to loot the crate. Instead, he copied Lancelots method and threw two smoke grenades in its direction, running over only after the smoke had risen.
Chen Heng looked at the level 3 helmet in Lancelots crate, which had lost only a tiny bit of durability, and nodded in satisfaction.
His shot to Lancelots neck had been deliberate. Chen Heng had spotted the level 3 helmet.
The M24 and Kar98k couldnt kill an enemy wearing a level 3 helmet with a single shot. However, two shots from these rifles were sufficient to eliminate the target if they hit the enemy and didnt strike the level 3 armor. So, why waste such a valuable helmet? Better to keep it for himself.
Chen Heng picked up the level 3 helmet, along with a few smoke grenades, grenades, and some medical supplies, and then quickly left the area. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Chen Heng didnt want a sudden snake to swallow this oriole. He slipped away.
Chen Heng took refuge in a nearby two-story red house to regain his composure. However, he couldnt help feeling a bit uneasy, so he climbed to the second floor.
In this virtual reality game, the shrinking of the poison circle was different from the mobile and computer games. It closely resembled reality, which meant that players didnt die as quickly as in typical games. To enhance the players experience, the game offered both a speed mode and a classic mode. Chen Heng and his team were playing the classic mode.
If the average game time for a round of a mobile or computer-based battle royale game was 29 to 32 minutes, this classic virtual game lasted about an hour.
Was one hour too long? Well, go play the speed mode.
Dont be fooled by how quickly Chen Heng took a life; he spent quite some time waiting. For a true sniper, sitting in one spot for a day and night isnt unusual at all.
After finding a suitable hiding place, Chen Heng checked the battles situation. What used to be 100 players had dwindled to just 58. This was only after the first circle had closed in. Did these players die this quickly? Were they all so aggressive?
Black:Red16:11
Remaining Players 5:4
This Chen Heng glanced at the score and the number of players on both sides, somewhat surprised. While he expected his team to lose members, that was normal; however, the opposing teams high score was unexpected.
These Servants were different from Chen Heng; they were playing this type of gameor even gaming in generalfor the first time. Their performance was surprisingly good. Could it be that Servants were stronger than regular people, even without Noble Phantasms and Personal Skills?
On their side, Minamoto-no-Raikou and the Queen of Sheba had been eliminated. Currently, Jeanne dArc was low in health, but she soon recovered to within the white line. It seemed like they had just been in an intense gunfight.
Jeanne dArc, hows it going over there?
When we entered the prison earlier, we ran into a fully equipped team. We lost two teammates in the skirmish, but we wiped them out. They had a skilled player who was quick with kills. They threw a grenade that killed two of our downed teammates, and one got knocked down but was revived. These guys were really determined to take us down with them; they even threatened to report us for illegal teaming up, Jeanne dArc sighed. In truth, Chen Hengs team had indeed formed an illegal alliance.
So, whats your plan now? Are you leaving the prison or holding your ground for now? Chen Heng glanced at the minimap and noticed that Jeanne dArcs icon hadnt moved from the prison.
Were heading northwest. The first poison circle has already finished shrinking, and the second one barely covers half of the prisons area. Theres a good chance the third circle will exclude the prison.
Alright, mark a spot, and well rendezvous there.
Sure, but why are you still in M City?
Well, I just eliminated Lancelot. By the way, eliminating an enemy Servant gives you two points.
You just found out? Werent you paying attention to the rules?
Ermthe signal around here is terrible. I didnt say anything earlier, and you didnt hear anything, either.
The signal is terrible. Cant you come up with a more believable excuse?
Uh-huh, the signal really is bad here. Got it. Im cutting off team communication for now.
After this, Chen Heng immediately closed the team communication.
This game was a simulation, and if you used team or global chat, nearby players could overhear you, unless you completely turned off the sound, but then, even your teammates wouldnt be able to hear you.
Chen Heng wanted to listen carefully for any sounds nearby to avoid getting ambushed, so he turned voice communications off. He wasnt worried about losing contact with his teammates; after all, there was still text communication.
In case of an emergency, both sides could communicate via text, and Chen Heng would reopen team communication later.
Chen Heng topped up by consuming some energy drinks and then emerged from the second floor of the building. Filling up using drinks is crucial; trust me, it really is.
Next, he went in search of the Jeep he had left behind. Standing on the road, he couldnt spot any other vehicles, not even a tricycle.
The Jeep Chen Heng had abandoned still had plenty of fuel. Driving to the marked location would pose no problem at all.
Once it turned into reality, the island wasnt particularly large. Chen Heng stepped on the gas pedal and arrived about 200 meters from the house Jeanne dArc had marked in less than six minutes.
Upon reaching the area, Chen Heng didnt immediately drive up to the house. Instead, he opened the minimap and confirmed the positions of Jeanne dArc and the others.
When the minimap showed that Jeanne dArcs team was inside the wooden house ahead, Chen Heng stepped on the gas and drove toward it.
When parking the Jeep outside the house, Chen Heng tried to get it as close to the building as possible. He used the nearby bushes and trees to hide the Jeep and then opened the car door and got out.
As soon as Chen Heng entered the house, he saw all the Servants except for Minamoto-no-Raikou and the Queen of Sheba.
Hey, Eresh-chan, youre looking even cuter, Chen Heng greeted upon entering. His first greeting wasnt to Jeanne dArc but to Lancer Ereshkigal. He didnt know why, but when he looked at the tsundere Ereshkigal, he couldnt help wanting to tease her.
ChanI said, dont call me Eresh-chan. Youre unbelievable. Eresh-chan was incredibly thin-skinned, or rather she hadnt interacted with many males before. After being summoned, she hadnt seen any males besides King Hassan, whoas everyone knowsrarely spoke and often remained fully armored.
