Chapter 365: Chapter 365

Although Jing Shu’s position was at the central point, she was in the "resource-poor" zone. Just now, she had used insects to scour the surrounding sand and the only cover, a big stone. There was a bulletproof vest nearby, and that was it—besides part of some gun, presumably the stock. Not even an ax was to be found.

She wondered if this had been intentionally arranged, but it made no difference. Jing Shu wasn’t well-versed in firearms; if she had to collect parts and assemble a weapon, she would probably be killed right away.

But isn’t the central point too dangerous?

So, as soon as the game started, Jing Shu immediately ran toward the big stone, picked up the bulletproof vest from the ground, and put it on. At this moment, survival was her priority. And then, a burly United States soldier ran towards her. Clearly unarmed, he seemed desperate to regroup with his comrades.

As soon as the match began, the other side was shouting non-stop, confirming positions as if planning to gather before killing. Jing Shu’s team members, each with robust individual strength, were confident in their ability to fight alone in the melee.

The soldier seemed surprised to run into Jing Shu. Then, a wicked grin spread across his face, and he walked over with fists clenched, step by step, as if to say taking down this girl wouldn’t be so bad.

The host, microphone in hand, was also excited. "Look, our beautiful lady on the field seems to be in some trouble! Let’s guess, how will this soldier treat an enemy female? Oh damn, I still hope he shows mercy. After all, she’s the most beautiful Asian woman I’ve seen in recent years."

BANG! The sound of a gunshot signified someone had either found a gun or successfully assembled one, attracting the audience’s attention once again.

Jing Shu wasted no more time. She hefted the solid wooden gunstock in her hand. The soldier’s gaze was mocking; he clearly thought she was an idiot, or perhaps he looked at her with condescending indulgence, like a three-year-old girl throwing a lollipop. He didn’t even think it was worth dodging. Under this gaze, Jing Shu swung the gunstock hard at him.

How heavy could a wooden gunstock be? Enough to crack a skull and draw blood? He probably didn’t know that, with sufficient strength, even a gunstock could pierce a human body.

THUD! A heavy sound. The soldier’s vision instantly went black, and then intense pain shot through him. He felt as if a massive object had been shoved into his eye socket—he was blinded in one eye!

The first cry of agony to ring out in the Underground Black Market came from the soldier. When the audience, the Nobles, and the host shifted their attention to him, they discovered the gunstock had been forcefully jammed into his eye. Screaming, he opened his other eye and charged wildly at Jing Shu. As a special forces operative, his instinct was to eliminate the enemy and ensure his own safety.

But the next scene caused many in the audience to subconsciously touch their necks, recognizing the adage: women are vipers.

Jing Shu kicked the frenzied soldier to the ground. She pulled out the gunstock, ignoring the instantaneous spray of blood, and viciously stabbed it into his neck again. The soldier’s legs twitched a few times, then he went completely still. He died with his eyes wide open, his one remaining eye empty and mangled, staring into nothingness.

A chorus of boos rose from the crowd.

The host said, "Well, it seems that no one in a Class B Mercenary Team is easy to mess with, and women, even more so, are deadly vipers."

Just after killing the soldier, Jing Shu saw Little Black howling and running toward her. A muscular, ferocious-looking strongman was chasing him, wielding a Bullet-Proof Shield in one hand and an ax in the other. It was a classic cat-and-mouse game—the difference in their levels was too great.

The problem was that the strongman was astonishingly fast; in a blink, they were upon her.

"Save me, save me, Tan Ke, AHH!!" Little Black frantically searched the field for Tan Ke. He passed Monkey, Snake Spirit, and Lingling but couldn’t find him. Seeing he was about to be caught, despair filled Little Black. He should never have joined this damned fight for survival! He really was going to die!

The man wielding a shield and an ax seemed invincible, fearing neither guns nor melee combat, ready to kill gods if he faced gods and Buddhas if he met Buddhas.

The host’s commentary was, "Oh, this is quite an interesting chase. The big guy can take out two people at once now."

They still didn’t have a clear understanding of Jing Shu. Unarmed, pitted against a powerful opponent with an ax and shield, everyone assumed it would be another cat-and-mouse game. Watching the ’mouse’ desperately flee was considered one of the match’s highlights.

The host kept the atmosphere lively, saying, "To be honest, lately I’ve really enjoyed watching people get chopped up by an ax bit by bit. Right now, I’m very keen to see the big guy chop his opponent up into pieces."

The audience showed their approval, constantly cheering, "CHOP! CHOP! CHOP!" while the Nobles drank coffee and wine, watching the match with elegance.

What happened next, however, left them dumbfounded. Their worldviews were seriously challenged, making them start to doubt reality itself.

Because the most delicate and temptingly beautiful woman in the arena had lifted a big stone, which was part of the props, and hurled it directly at the big man. Official source ıs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

How big was the stone? It had been transported by vehicle, a big stone so heavy that five or six people might not be able to lift it. As a prop, it was meant to provide cover, allowing the Nobles to watch the participants exchange fire and to heighten the excitement of the killing game!

Otherwise, the entire ’map’ would be full of houses and obstacles like a maze; players couldn’t just be sitting ducks. The participants were all special forces. Without cover, they’d pick each other off with single shots, which would be boring.

It wasn’t meant for people to lift as a weapon and smash others, hey!

The boulder came crashing down from above. The big man holding the shield didn’t react in time and instinctively raised it. He thought this ’prop’ was very light, but the next second, there was a thunderous crash.

The stone smashed down like an artillery shell! His entire body was crushed beneath the boulder. The shield was bullet-proof, but it offered no protection against a stone weighing nearly a ton.

The big man’s head was smashed into a bloody pulp, brains spilling out. His other body parts were crushed into mush, leaving only a barely intact pair of legs.

Little Black swallowed hard and slumped to the ground, so scared he wet himself. That stone nearly hit me too! Just by a whisker, damn it! He looked at Jing Shu, who was dusting off her hands as if she had just finished a day’s work, and unconsciously stammered, "Th-th-the boss."

So she was the real boss of the whole team!

The gunfire intensified, exploding by her ears like a barrage. Jing Shu was afraid of getting caught in the crossfire, especially at this central point. Her insects were constantly moving, pinpointing the locations of nearby people. She had to leave quickly, as two more individuals were now running in her direction.

The critical thing was, even from a distance, they had switched to full-auto, spraying bullets towards Jing Shu as if they were free.
