The game progressed to the middle stage. The number of survivors on the map quickly dropped to 29, which meant there were 25 other players besides the four of them.
Since Youyou wasn’t very familiar with the game, he didn’t have to go out and kill anyone. One could say that he only needed to sit back and relax.
The other two little big brothers and Little Yichen went on a killing spree. With the three of them in a team, it could be said that they had a huge advantage in a competition where others were in pairs.
Youyou was in charge of searching the houses one by one under their cover. Gradually, all four of them became well-equipped.
On the emergency packs alone, they ended up with no less than 10 packs per person. They gathered so many of the other kits that it became impossible for them to even pick up bullets. Little Yichen told Youyou to keep 60 rounds for himself and give him the rest. As for his bag, he just had to keep it loaded with medicine. When it came to the final lap, it would be the grenades and first-aid kits that really mattered. One would get chicken dinner only if one stayed alive for the time being.
What surprised Little Yichen, though, was that not only did Youyou have lots of luck, but he also had the Circle of Destiny in him.
Circle of Destiny, as the name implied, referred to these things called the Safe Zone and Circle of Poison that featured in the game. In fact, rather than Circle of Poison, it was an electric field. Standing in this circle would cause a sustained loss of blood. Only by entering the Safe Zone could such damage be avoided.
The Safe Zone would slowly shrink. In other words, players would be forced to “hurt” each other, ultimately producing the final winner.
Youyou’s face was particularly pale and he resembled European nobility. Almost every time the Safe Zone was refreshed, it would be under his feet. He had beginner’s luck, but even so, this was too scary.
Little Yichen didn’t believe in the supernatural, so he told Youyou to stand where he was and not move. Hence the latter hid beside the cabinet and lay there, not moving.
The Safe Zone refreshed twice, but still, it appeared under his feet both times. The Circle of Poison was already getting smaller. There weren’t many players left on the field, perhaps a dozen or so. Little Yichen was staying alive for now. Youyou crouched in the corner.
Meanwhile, outside the door, the two little big brothers were completely immersed in their roles as escorts. They stood guard at the window and door and kept beeping. Eventually there were only four people left on the field.
Little Yichen looked at Youyou, who looked back at him, clearly not understanding what he meant.
“There are four people left.” Little Yichen whispered conspiratorially, “Should we take out the two little big brothers so we can have chicken dinner?”
Youyou twitched his lips. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. They’ve protected us all this way, after all. If it weren’t for them, we wouldn’t have had such a smooth fight. Are you trying to burn bridges now?”
Little Yichen felt guilty at that too.
Initially, he felt a little guilty. After all, these two little big brothers were sincerely good to him. He could not bear to stab them in the back when they had been so kind.
A short while later, the two little big brothers came upstairs too.
“Little Big Sister, there’s no one else. It’s just the four of us! We agreed to take you to chicken dinner. How about we jump into the Circle of Poison so that you can have your chicken dinner?”
The young man clearly had a spirit of self-sacrifice. They had escorted Little Yichen and Youyou all the way. In the end, they had actually said that they would sacrifice themselves so that the twins could have their chicken dinner.
Little Yichen felt increasingly guilty.
“It’s alright, don’t bother.”
“You don’t have to jump into the Circle of Poison!”
However, the two little big brothers said on the public screen, “We promised to take you to chicken dinner!”
